INTJ

The Mastermind

Often called the "Masterminds," INTJs are strategic thinkers who see the big picture. They're independent, determined, and have a natural ability to turn theories into solid plans. INTJs excel in fields requiring long-term vision and systematic thinking, though they may struggle with office politics and small talk.
