What Do People Love About INTJs?<br />
• Honest and straightforward, INTJs are refreshingly genuine. Compared to other types, they<br />
seem unable to put up a false pretense. INTJs do not come across as slick, smooth or fakey.<br />
• INTJs are not swayed by peer pressure or the opinions of others; this inner strength and self<br />
reliance is appreciated by many.<br />
• When INTJs have developed their F skills either through practice or because they have<br />
naturally moderate T-F preferences, the result is a charmingly considerate and empathetic<br />
individual, still reserved but thoughtful and friendly. (Think of the kindly old professor.)<br />
• INTJs are self assured and confident.<br />
• INTJs are loyal partners.<br />
• Mates of INTJs appreciate their partner's encyclopedic knowledge--having an INTJ around<br />
is like having instant access to one’s own personal Wikipedia. Many have expressed<br />
admiration for their INTJ’s knowledgeability. It is fun to learn new things from INTJs.<br />
• People are grateful for the calmness of the INTJ, especially during times of distress.<br />
• INTJs follow a strong moral code. Their uncompromising integrity inspires trust.<br />
• INTJs are excellent listeners.<br />
• An INTJ offers a treat for the mind that few other types can provide. Deep, complicated,<br />
and fascinating, the INTJ is like a personal tour guide to the mysteries of the universe. They<br />
are quite simply interesting. INTJs have an inner world that seems fathomlessly intricate.<br />
• INTJs enjoy debate; this can be a particularly stimulating attraction to many, especially<br />
fellow Rationals. INTJs illuminate new perspectives and bring up new information. They<br />
question basic assumptions that might have been wrong to begin with.<br />
• Because INTJs reveal their deepest emotions only to a chosen few—perhaps only their<br />
partner—while being "meh" to everyone else, it makes their partner feel particularly special.<br />
• Some INT males seem to be polite almost to the point of chivalry or courtliness. They are<br />
conspicuous for their gentlemanly mien.<br />
Mr. Darcy<br />
Since we want to know what people find so attractive about INTJs, let's look at one of the most<br />
famous romances in European Literature, Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen (read here). The<br />
book revolves around the tumultuous courtship between Elizabeth Bennet, a probable ENFP, and<br />
Mr. Darcy, a tall, rich, handsome INTJ who has been inciting squeeing noise from female readers<br />
since 1813. 107 So notorious is Mr. Darcy's appeal that it was commemorated by a group of<br />
107 NonINTJ females. INTJs women do not squee.
