INTZ – Strategising

Imaginative, inspired, tenacious, creative, and driven are all words that aptly describe an INTZ. You live in a world of pure ideas, a sea of concepts and associations so unique to your mind that not many others can share your vision.

You are self-confident and individualistic, and typically do not need permission or understanding from the world to believe in yourself. Some of history’s greatest inventors and researchers have shared this kind of calm trust in their own ideas, focusing on the possible, developing plans to bring ideas into reality, and pouring all of their energy into reaching their goals, regardless of obstacles that may get in the way.

You are happiest in a job that lets you roam from one project to the next, turning your particular combination of intuition, thinking, and organising to the next invention or re-organisation.

As an INTZ, whatever career field you choose, you are almost certain to approach it as an inventor, innovator, organiser, and reviser. You tend to be good at filtering out extraneous information so that you can focus on the critical issues to formulate plans, settle conflicts, and wrap up deals with a minimum of delay. But you may also restrict the flow of information by allowing discussion of only what you consider to be “the essentials.”

INTZs like you can find it impossible to change the plans you have made or to shift gears, once you have decided on a course of action. In love with learning and fascinated by the concept of intelligence, you have an inner drive for performance and continually strive for self-improvement. You probably set high standards for yourself, repeatedly reciting a mental list of things you ought to learn, accomplish, and
master. You do not mind working long hours on a project without a break, and you take great pride and interest in your job.

INTZs often will find the time to tackle the most difficult problem and unravel the most complicated situation. However, you need peace to work most comfortably. You are inclined to make decisions on an impersonal and logical basis. You may be aware that such impersonal behaviour negatively affects values-based people, but you also recognise that separating your personal views from your work personality is important if you are to succeed in highly competitive work fields.

Whether or not the work you choose is in the field of science, your mode of thought will basically be scientific in nature. Overall, as an INTZ you tend to appreciate intelligence and continually seek to increase your knowledge.
