fun with personality types: intj
this personality type is always interesting because i know one that annoys the crap out of me sometimes, i'm pretty sure my grandpa is this type and i hate him with every fiber of my being, but one of my best friends is also this type so idk man idk anyways.
the intj
Independent, original, analytical, and determined. Have an exceptional ability to turn theories into solid plans of action. Highly value knowledge, competence, and structure. Driven to derive meaning from their visions. Long-range thinkers. Have very high standards for their performance, and the performance of others. Natural leaders, but will follow if they trust existing leaders.
well this fits my friend billy to a t. he's so shockingly independent, analytically determined for things to go his way, and driven by planning. he's convinced everything he says is correct too. he's so into his own logical ideas and structure and order and can't function without it. he's also a recluse who hates social interaction without planning it way in advance. his high standards are ridiculous too and he leads EVERYONE.
genny ryder - once again, when i was a sophomore or freshman in high school i wrote my first full novel and it involved this main character who was a complete anomaly. she hates social interaction and being forced to do things that involve it unless it's to undermine someone else. she does love her friends but would rather not hang out with them because they truly annoy her most of the time. she's always determined to get her way and because of that she's super selfish and doesn't exactly care about anyone else's feelings. she big on structure and order and setting up her life according to what she wants rather than anyone else. she's also driven by meaning and is so interested in figuring out what things mean.
joshua orth, one of my first real antagonists. he's a sociopathic, sadistic, narcissistic serial killer who's out for blood. he kills people by getting into their heads and forcing them to do things they wouldn't ever dream of, basically living their worst nightmares and lets them stew in it before finishing them off. he ends up going after genny in the same story but spares her because he feels a strong connection with her. (ironically enough i sorted them both into this personality type without noticing). he's independent and hasn't had anyone by his side in years and he likes it that way, he hates people. he's cunning and theoretical with a knack for thinking and always plotting things before doing them. he also has control issues stemming from his high standards that everyone should conform to his way of thinking.
jack raiden. this guy is my all-time favourite character. i know everything about him. he's stone cold. he has no emotions it seems because he always has the same emotionless expression on his face. and boy is he determined. he doesn't talk, he just thinks and analyzes. he trusts his gut and his ideas over anyone else's. he works alone most of the time unless he REALLY needs help. even in those cases the people piss him off. he always has a plan of action in his head that he'll go by, and nothing else. he needs competence and structure to function and he is a huge leader. he may not bark orders but he will guide people in the background and expects them to follow what he says and do it the right way, too.
oliver miles. also in the same story is the opposite end of the spectrum. this guy was abused into submission by a girl, physically and emotionally. and now he's out for blood. he's always had anger and control issues but being with that girl turned him into the controlled and it broke him mentally. he's a loner but if he's forced to work with others he'll fight to control them. he loves when he finds new prey because he'll play with them like prey and come up with plots and plans to catch them. he's in it for the game.
eli harding, the boyfriend to meg(isfj) who abuses her and takes her on a rollercoaster ride. he's a perfect embodiment of the intj when their significant other isn't able to stand up to them or understand them. he's rigid in how he wants his house and his girlfriend to behave and will flip out if it's not all in order. it's as if his feelings are all that matter and if anyone forgets to conform to his strict ways of order, planning, respect, high standards, and competence he will blow his top on them. other than that he's brooding and quiet and can be outwardly rude and obnoxious if he's not happy.
gavin clarke - my prototype history buff who's just a dark and introverted guy who hangs out in the back of the classroom and thinks he's above everyone else. he has a problem where he thinks he's the best damn thing, the smartest and most organized and the one with the great ideas who should lead everyone else because they're all dumb but when everyone hates him because he's like that he gets depressed and his self-esteem falls through the cracks. he won't change who he is because it's the only way but he'll be down on himself for being that way.
