About

The Architect type questions almost everything. They are not afraid to be rejected or break rules in the process of finding a better way. They don't stop at just being creative; they want to achieve something, pushing forward by adding insight, superior logic, and strong will to new ideas. This type is highly independent and prefers working or making decisions alone. Because of this, they are sometimes stereotyped as being indifferent to others, but they are simply not swayed by emotions in decision-making; they are actually quite humane and warm-hearted people deep down. They are both bold dreamers and bitter pessimists. They believe they can achieve anything with enough will and talent, yet they are skeptical of human nature. Consequently, they tend to think most people are lazy, unimaginative, and just plain mediocre. While they have no interest in things like gossip, that doesn't mean they are boring people. Beneath their serious exterior, they possess a sharp and delightfully satirical sense of humor. INTJs choose rationality over warmth and being right over being popular. They value truth and deep knowledge, and stay far away from small talk or white lies. Because of this, they can sometimes be unintentionally insulting or aggressive. In social relationships, they try to associate with those who share their values and priorities, and sometimes one can win an INTJ's heart just by being their authentic self. The natural confidence they exude when pursuing their interests attracts people in professional, social, and even romantic settings. Though it may seem contradictory, INTJs are imaginative yet decisive, ambitious yet private, and surprisingly curious without wasting energy on useless things. They live life as if playing a game of Go or Chess. They hold a firm belief that no matter what difficulties they face, they can overcome anything with originality and intuition.
