"sentimental" presents.
Rationals do enjoy extravagant presents (particularly gadgets) relating to their current hobbies,
projects and interests. Since they are always seeking to build their competence, they will be pleased
if you can provide them with tools to improve themselves or their work. The NTJ Rationals are
more likely to prefer a gift selected from a list (this holds for all Judgers), while the more playful
NTP Rationals will accept surprise gifts that have less practical value.
Most Important Values
Tieger and Barron-Tieger had each type list the characteristics in a partner that were most important
to them. Some characteristics were universal; others were specific to temperament or type. A
summary of the top seven characteristics that were most important to NTs is listed below. The
number in [ ] brackets indicates the ranking that INTJs gave the trait in question.
• Mutual support All NTs chose this [2]
• Intellectual stimulation All NTs chose this [4]
• Fidelity All except ENTPs chose this [1]
• Mutual commitment All except ENTPs chose this [3]
• Companionship All except INTJs chose this
• Having fun together All except INTPs chose this [7]
• Shared values NTJs chose this [6]
• Being listened to INTs chose this [5]
• Humor NTPs chose this
• Intimacy Only ENTPs chose this
• Accepting each other's differences Only ENTPs chose this
Least Important Values
The researchers also examined the characteristics that were seen as having low importance to a
relationship. An asterisk indicates that an item was seen as having low importance to INTJs. A “^”
indicates that INTJs actually viewed an item as important. Unmarked entries were seen as being of
neither high nor low value to INTJs.
• Similar parenting styles All NTs chose this*
• Spiritual connection All NTs chose this*
• Shared religious beliefs All NTs chose this*
• Financial security All except the ENTJs chose this*
• Security INTs chose this*
• Shared interests ENTs chose this
• Spending time together Only INTJs chose this*
• Humor Only ENTJs chose this
Average Weight (1 – 7) Placed on Each Most Important Rational Value
The average “weight” (ranking preference) placed upon a characteristic is a rough measure of how
much that particular characteristic was valued relative to other characteristics. A characteristic
could be ranked in first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, or seventh place. Some characteristics
were considered very important to all NTs, while other characteristics were considered important to
only some NTs. Here is a summary of the average weight that NTs placed on each characteristic.
The number in [ ] brackets indicates the weight (if any) placed upon that characteristic by INTJs.
