The order of dominance for your different preferences is:
As a dominant intuitive, you will tend to notice meanings, possibilities and patterns rather than the mundane facts and details of your life. You will respond to the intangibles of life.
As an INTJ, your dominant preference of intuition is introverted, making you original, visionary and creative. You also need to find a way to express what you have discovered. Your unique inner vision must be translated into reality. Your thinking preference means that you will apply your originality to identifying patterns and meanings and analyzing them impersonally. You are logical, theoretical and system oriented. Under the stimulus of your ingenuity and drive to discover, you will focus more on possibilities for the future than in the here-and-now. You will also seek out and enjoy opportunites for change, challenge and variety. You are hard on yourself and others. The INTJ is the most independent of the types, will absolutely do things its own way and is largely immune to external criticism. You do not conform to rules, per se, and will only fall in line with them if they make sense to you. Your original mind and great insight mean you prefer to work on your own and will not typically include others in your thinking or occupation. When you are interested in a subject you can invest incredible concentration and energy as well as powerful organization and vision. You are determined in the face of opposition. Your self-possessedness and demands for high levels of competence can make you difficult as a partner. You will tend to expect too much and be vocal in your criticism. Your own preference for 'truth', however painful, can put others around you on a permanent but unnoticed defensive. With the right partner, however, your ability to challenge the status quo and find ways to overcome apparently insurmountable difficulties can make you a rewarding and inspiring ally. INTJs can improve their personal effectiveness by looking to develop their interpersonal awareness and skills. This might include thanking others for a job well done even when it has not reached the INTJ's own standards. They can also learn to delegate more successfully. Under stress, the INTJ can become harsh and rejecting, failing to recognize practical errors in their ideas while criticizing others. They can also become excessive in their behaviors and act very impulsively. On the whole, the INTJ is content to be a loner most of the time, making just sufficient contact with the outside world to see his or her ideas put into effect. S/he is a strategist and tends to be skeptical and critical, both of self and others. S/he often has a strong intellect, and can think effectively at both the macro and the micro levels. Jobs for INTJs include: Economist, international banker, management consultant, scientific researcher, design engineer, astronomer, software developer, network integration specialist, university teacher, mathematician, psychiatrist, psychologist, cardiologist, biomedical engineer, litigation attorney, strategic planner, business analyst, writer, artist, architect, art director.
