following the principles the INTJ has figured out. In fact, I have no doubt that INTJs do program
AIs in this manner, only in this case winning takes the form of “gold farming.” (Gold farming is
when you kill monsters/perform tasks to earn game currency in a massively multiplayer online
game, then sell the game currency to other players for real money.)
There is also the usual Rational drive to develop intricate long-range strategies, for example, “First
I’ll level up my character’s skills by slaying hundreds of easy monsters on the first level, then I’ll
use my new powers to kill the hordes of monsters on the really hard level so that I can loot all their
items, then I’ll go to the trading post on the next level and convert everything into cash, then I’ll use
it all to buy the ultimate weapon when I get to the shop near the final endpoint, which will allow me
to kill the final boss in two minutes. And they said it couldn’t be done! We’ll see about that!”
Though unlikely to be inspired by grinding (performing the same action at length to level up a
character or collect items), the INTJ's analytical abilities serve them well in determining the most
efficient and profitable path through the game world.
Appearance
As Judgers, INTJs are more likely than not to dress properly. However, as INTs, they are likely to
be detached from the physical world and may fail to see any point in dressing properly. It's a mixed
bag for this type, but they do tend to dress better than their muddled NTP cousins.
Ackroyd (2006) wrote about the dress habits of Isaac Newton (INTJ). During one two year period,
Newton spent a significant sum on new clothing; Ackroyd noted that he was "careful of his
appearance." But a few chapters later, Ackroyd had to add that Newton slept in his clothes and
would forget to comb his hair or fasten his stockings before leaving the house. INTJs have good
intentions, but they won't necessarily keep up appearances all the time.
I was curious to see if there were any trends in the outfits of fictional INTJs. If clothes have any
bearing upon the inner nature the wearer, then what do INTJ outfits say about their personality, or at
least about society's perception of their personality?
An informal survey I made of fictional INTJs revealed that most were depicted with a dull or dark
color scheme, sometimes also monocolor. This is in strong contrast to the garments favored by
fictional ENTPs (the anti-INTJs) who tend to favor eye-popping colors and patterns that scream
"Paaaay attention to meeee!" If types were moths, the INTJs would be the little brown-grey moths
that blend into the tree bark. This makes it clear why ENTPs are more likely to be eaten by
predators than INTJs. Fictional INTJs also kept their clothing in immaculate condition.
How about the stereotypical geek glasses? It is interesting to note that even science fiction INTJs
who have no need of glasses nevertheless tend to wear special eye gear; perhaps it enhances the
death glare somehow. Here is a small sample of INTJ dress styles. Some of these people will be
featured later in the book.
• Mordecai Heller – Anthropomorphic cat with dark grey fur. Typically pictured in dark
colors. Always formal, neat and spotless. Wore tiny round "Gestapo" glasses. (Evil)
• Soundwave – Dark blue robot with white accents. Had a visor-style optical sensor. (Evil)
• Seven of Nine – Wore a featureless, skintight grey jumpsuit. Always wore the same outfit.
No glasses, but had a Borg eye implant. (Good)
• Hercule Poirot – Variable colors, but never colorful or flashy. Always formal, neat and
spotless. No glasses. (Good)
