afraid to share her opinions. They argued a lot, but neither of them seemed to be bothered by the
continual clashes. In fact, at times they both enjoyed it, and would argue simply for the fun of
debate. (Monk's next nurse, a feeler, was not nearly so good at standing up to him in an argument.)
While Monk pined for years over his one and only true love, Sharona hopped merrily from love
interest after love interest. Sharona's happy go lucky, risk-taking personality provided an excellent
contrast with Monk's cautious, methodical personality. As you can imagine, she also provided a
great opportunity for type development.

Myers (1980) survey of 280 urban policemen.

INTJs weren't one of the most common types in this sample; however, a larger survey of 3,001
policemen did find that NTs were the second most common group in the police with 14% of police
consisting of Rationals. 285 The STs were still more common at 70% of the total. Hennessy (1999)
noted that, “In the realistic, impersonal, logical world of law enforcement, NTs can also personify
the 'tough cop' image.”
Monk enjoyed being a member of the police, but after working as an on-call detective for several
years, he discovered that he actually preferred being a consultant—it gave him more freedom,
allowed him to cherry pick the most interesting cases, and he got to be his own boss. Although
tolerant of the paramilitary structure, INTJs enjoy the freedom of managing their own work.
