Sobre INTJ (Em inglês)

To outsiders, INTJs may appear to project an aura of "definiteness", of self-confidence. This self-confidence, sometimes mistaken for simple arrogance by the less decisive, is actually of a very specific rather than a general nature; its source lies in the specialized knowledge systems that most INTJs start building at an early age. When it comes to their own areas of expertise -- and INTJs can have several -- they will be able to tell you almost immediately whether or not they can help you, and if so, how. INTJs know what they know, and perhaps still more importantly, they know what they don't know.

INTJs are perfectionists, with a seemingly endless capacity for improving upon anything that takes their interest. What prevents them from becoming chronically bogged down in this pursuit of perfection is the pragmatism so characteristic of the type: INTJs apply (often ruthlessly) the criterion "Does it work?" to everything from their own research efforts to the prevailing social norms. This in turn produces an unusual independence of mind, freeing the INTJ from the constraints of authority, convention, or sentiment for its own sake.

INTJs are known as the "Systems Builders" of the types, perhaps in part because they possess the unusual trait combination of imagination and reliability. Whatever system an INTJ happens to be working on is for them the equivalent of a moral cause to an INFJ; both perfectionism and disregard for authority may come into play, as INTJs can be unsparing of both themselves and the others on the project. Anyone considered to be "slacking," including superiors, will lose their respect -- and will generally be made aware of this; INTJs have also been known to take it upon themselves to implement critical decisions without consulting their supervisors or co-workers. On the other hand, they do tend to be scrupulous and even-handed about recognizing the individual contributions that have gone into a project, and have a gift for seizing opportunities which others might not even notice.

In the broadest terms, what INTJs "do" tends to be what they "know". Typical INTJ career choices are in the sciences and engineering, but they can be found wherever a combination of intellect and incisiveness are required (e.g., law, some areas of academia). INTJs can rise to management positions when they are willing to invest time in marketing their abilities as well as enhancing them, and (whether for the sake of ambition or the desire for privacy) many also find it useful to learn to simulate some degree of surface conformism in order to mask their inherent unconventionality.

Personal relationships, particularly romantic ones, can be the INTJ's Achilles heel. While they are capable of caring deeply for others (usually a select few), and are willing to spend a great deal of time and effort on a relationship, the knowledge and self-confidence that make them so successful in other areas can suddenly abandon or mislead them in interpersonal situations.

This happens in part because many INTJs do not readily grasp the social rituals; for instance, they tend to have little patience and less understanding of such things as small talk and flirtation (which most types consider half the fun of a relationship). To complicate matters, INTJs are usually extremely private people, and can often be naturally impassive as well, which makes them easy to misread and misunderstand. Perhaps the most fundamental problem, however, is that INTJs really want people to make sense. :-) This sometimes results in a peculiar naivete', paralleling that of many Fs -- only instead of expecting inexhaustible affection and empathy from a romantic relationship, the INTJ will expect inexhaustible reasonability and directness.

Probably the strongest INTJ assets in the interpersonal area are their intuitive abilities and their willingness to "work at" a relationship. Although as Ts they do not always have the kind of natural empathy that many Fs do, the Intuitive function can often act as a good substitute by synthesizing the probable meanings behind such things as tone of voice, turn of phrase, and facial expression. This ability can then be honed and directed by consistent, repeated efforts to understand and support those they care about, and those relationships which ultimately do become established with an INTJ tend to be characterized by their robustness, stability, and good communications.

Rational Portrait of the Mastermind (INTJ)

All Rationals are good at planning operations, but Masterminds are head and shoulders above all the rest in contingency planning. Complex operations involve many steps or stages, one following another in a necessary progression, and Masterminds are naturally able to grasp how each one leads to the next, and to prepare alternatives for difficulties that are likely to arise any step of the way. Trying to anticipate every contingency, Masterminds never set off on their current project without a Plan A firmly in mind, but they are always prepared to switch to Plan B or C or D if need be.

Masterminds are rare, comprising no more than, say, one percent of the population, and they are rarely encountered outside their office, factory, school, or laboratory. Although they are highly capable leaders, Masterminds are not at all eager to take command, preferring to stay in the background until others demonstrate their inability to lead. Once they take charge, however, they are thoroughgoing pragmatists. Masterminds are certain that efficiency is indispensable in a well-run organization, and if they encounter inefficiency-any waste of human and material resources-they are quick to realign operations and reassign personnel. Masterminds do not feel bound by established rules and procedures, and traditional authority does not impress them, nor do slogans or catchwords. Only ideas that make sense to them are adopted; those that don't, aren't, no matter who thought of them. Remember, their aim is always maximum efficiency.

In their careers, Masterminds usually rise to positions of responsibility, for they work long and hard and are dedicated in their pursuit of goals, sparing neither their own time and effort nor that of their colleagues and employees. Problem-solving is highly stimulating to Masterminds, who love responding to tangled systems that require careful sorting out. Ordinarily, they verbalize the positive and avoid comments of a negative nature; they are more interested in moving an organization forward than dwelling on mistakes of the past.

Masterminds tend to be much more definite and self-confident than other Rationals, having usually developed a very strong will. Decisions come easily to them; in fact, they can hardly rest until they have things settled and decided. But before they decide anything, they must do the research. Masterminds are highly theoretical, but they insist on looking at all available data before they embrace an idea, and they are suspicious of any statement that is based on shoddy research, or that is not checked against reality.

Alan Greenspan, Ben Bernanke, Dwight D. Eisenhower, General Ulysses S. Grant, Frideriche Nietsche, Niels Bohr, Peter the Great, Stephen Hawking, John Maynard Keynes, Lise Meitner", Ayn Rand and Sir Isaac Newton are examples of Rational Masterminds.

Introverted iNtuition

INTJs are idea people. Anything is possible; everything is negotiable. Whatever the outer circumstances, INTJs are ever perceiving inner pattern-forms and using real-world materials to operationalize them. Others may see what is and wonder why; INTJs see what might be and say "Why not?!" Paradoxes, antinomies, and other contradictory phenomena aptly express these intuitors' amusement at those whom they feel may be taking a particular view of reality too seriously. INTJs enjoy developing unique solutions to complex problems.

Extraverted Thinking

Thinking in this auxiliary role is a workhorse. Closure is the payoff for efforts expended. Evaluation begs diagnosis; product drives process. As they come to light, Thinking tends, protects, affirms and directs iNtuition's offspring, fully equipping them for fulfilling and useful lives. A faithful pedagogue, Thinking argues not so much on its own behalf, but in defense of its charges. And through this process these impressionable ideas take on the likeness of their master.

Introverted Feeling

Feeling has a modest inner room, two doors down from the Most Imminent iNtuition. It doesn't get out much, but lends its influence on behalf of causes which are Good and Worthy and Humane. We may catch a glimpse of it in the unspoken attitude of good will, or the gracious smile or nod. Some question the existence of Feeling in this type, yet its unseen balance to Thinking is a cardinal dimension in the full measure of the INTJ's soul.

Extraverted Sensing

Sensing serves with a good will, or not at all. As other inferior functions, it has only a rudimentary awareness of context, amount or degree. Thus INTJs sweat the details or, at times, omit them. "I've made up my mind, don't confuse me with the facts" could well have been said by an INTJ on a mission. Sensing's extraverted attitude is evident in this type's bent to savor sensations rather than to merely categorize them. Indiscretions of indulgence are likely an expression of the unconscious vengeance of the inferior.

Men and Romance: Rational Men

Some Rationals seem so cold and logical that it’s hard to imagine them doing something as frivolous as falling in love. Most Rationals do not express the range of emotions other types do because they keep their emotions tightly in check, usually showing them only to those closest to them. Getting a Rational to open up and show their tender side can be a great challenge, one many women find intriguing.

Rationals are the least likely types to remember important days, such as anniversaries, birthdays, and holidays. However, they do tend to be steadfast, being among the most committed. Their partners can expect intellectual stimulation, debating from multiple perspectives, and a lot of autonomy. Rationals are the most likely types to treat their partners as equal in adult status.

Hamid is a Mastermind (INTJ) Rational. As a teen, he was slow to mature. He was interested in girls, but was very awkward around them. He also felt that most girls were just plain silly, so he did not date. By his senior year in college, he was actively looking for a mate but wasn’t quite sure how to go about it. One day he happened to strike up a conversation with a young woman he’d known slightly. They immediately hit it off, covering topics ranging from the inane (comic strips) to the sublime (the origin of life). They married a year later. Hamid feels very relieved to have successfully cleared this life hurdle.

Finding Your Passion or What Makes a Job Right for You?
Rationals – Finding Knowledge and Competence

In this five-part series, we’re examining each personality type and job fit. Rationals may have a problem with the Boomer phrase, "Finding Your Passion." Many Rationals are suspicious of strong emotion. For them, life satisfaction equates to having Knowledge and Competence.

Many of our early Presidents were Rationals, such as John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, and James Monroe. A common characteristic is a vision of the future and the ability to make that vision come true.

The Mastermind (INTJ) is very focused as well, but more on an internal vision. They are good at solving problems and like to work on tough intellectual puzzles. They are often led into technical positions such as scientific researcher, design engineer, environmental planner. The developing field of genetics benefits from their intensity as does the field of medicine. In education they are most often found at the college and university level. In the professions, they may be a lawyer, a business analyst, or strategic planner. Some have a strong artistic/creative bent and may become an artist, inventor, or designer. Whatever they do, they do it with intensity. Says Kim, "I am constantly teaching myself something new in order to solve the problems that I encounter. My husband leaves me alone when he sees that I am caught in what he calls my "Thinking Time." I'm unwinding knots even in my sleep."

Gente, depois com calma vou editar e traduzir tudo. ;)

Tópico a tópico

- Tem gente que SIMPLESMENTE NÃO MERECE O NIMB QUE TEM.

- Uma outra prova de uma suspeita minha veio a tona dia 6. E isso me entristece muito.

- Às 2 horas e 51 minutos da manhã do dia 7 de junho fiquei com o coração batendo tão fraco que se eu dormisse, acredito que não acordaria mais. Não não não, o abstrato não, apenas o físico mesmo. O abstrato até tentou nesta semana, mas a minha suspeita de fato fez com que ele não batesse direito e voltou ao seu estado no gelo, onde deveria sempre ficar...

- Seria patético morrer agora. Há tanto que já fiz, com tamanha importância, que me sinto num conto de ficção. Sim, meu livro da vida não será uma autobiografia, mas sim um grande livro de ficção... Baseada em fatos reais. Quais as fontes? Estas, meus caros, gostaria de revelar. Mas quem as escutará? Hahah... Coitados daqueles que seriam os primeiros e se prontificariarem, pois sei que estes serão os últimos a entender.

- Para estes e muitos outros, que por mais que eu mostre, insistente, o q me ocorre, insistem em não aprender, tenho a pequena fábula do bombeiro. "Onde o bombeiro sou eu, e você meu amigo. Mas por mais que eu seja bombeiro, vc nunca viu um incêndio real. Então, vc escuta com desdém qdo lhe conto sobre incêndios ameaçadores que sempre ameaçam a vida e a natureza, até o momento em que seu próprio prédio está para pegar fogo. Mas eu, meu caro, impedi isso enquanto você estava dormindo. E quando lhe digo tal coisa, vc novamente me vem com desdém. Então, o q deveria ter feito? Deixado o fogo se alastrar para q vc aprenda a se desviar dele, mesmo eu sabendo q não teria êxito? Hah. Infelizmente, vc não me vê com os mesmos olhos em que vê a tevê, onde sempre mostra uma outra grande realidade do lugar onde você mora, que seria a violência. A guerra pode ser noticiada antes mesmo dela acontecer, mas apenas aqueles q podem ouvir e sentir sem precisar ver, não apenas com os olhos mas sim também com a mente e espírito, saberá dela. Contar para os outros será inútil, já estão cegos demais para perceber a sua volta". Sim, isto remete a Alegoria da Caverna.

- O Rio de Janeiro é uma cidade violenta, onde de tudo te roubam. Te roubam até teus direitos, felicidades e sentimentos.

- Não tente me passar sermão¹. Mil palavras suas nunca superarão um gesto meu. Modéstia não pode ser mais uma opção.

- Hephaestus: engenhosidade, construtividade. Atlas: resistência, vigor. Nêmesis: retribuição, ajuda, vingança. Salomão: sabedoria, inteligência. Eros II: amor, maldição de Eros². Prometeus: distribuição, compartilhamento.


¹- Frases feitas etc. Se quer mesmo tentar dizer alguma coisa, ligue-me. Contate-me. Palavras sem direito de resposta são inúteis frente a um diálogo construtivo.

²- Maldição de Eros II: com tanto amor dentro de si, não é capaz de poder fazer com que o oposto se sinta atraído como um ótimo amor. A única coisa capaz de fazer com tal amor é distribuí-lo, e com a distribuição e compartilhamento de Prometeus tal amor é muito bem distribuido, até mesmo quando não quer...

Eu?

Surgi do nada. Afugentei quem mal te quis, aproximei quem bem te quis. E agora que está bem o bastante, voou com outro para que eu possa surgir do nada para outra pessoa, assim seguindo sempre sozinho. E de tanto surgir para quem assim precisa, um dia surgirei para o horizonte eterno, onde nunca mais verão aquele que um dia já fez tanto impacto em sua vida quanto eventos recorrentes.

Pierrot

O Pierrot apaixonado chora pelo amor da Colombina
E é sua sina chorar a ilusão, em vão, em vão...
E a Colombina só quer um amor
Que não encontra num braço qualquer
Essa menina não quer mais saber de malmequer
E o Pierrot...
O Pierrot apaixonado chora pelo amor da Colombina
E na esquina se mata a beber pra esquecer, pra esquecer
E o Pierrot só queria amar
E dar um basta a esta dor já sem fim
Mas Colombina trocou seu amor por Arlequim
E o Pierrot, chora!

Transcedência Verdadeira

Como pude me deparar com uma estranha sensação em meu interior? Tentei decifrar, através de lógica e razão, o que exatamente estava aquecendo o interior de meu peito. Algo esquisito, ilógico, irracional... Não podia medir ou definir com exatidão o que era, mas com certeza difere do que podemos chamar de decifrável, palpável, concreto.
Ah, este pequeno sentimento paradoxal humano! Este nos torna tão burros, nos deixando a mercê da fonte do paradoxo. Tal fonte, tão infinita quanto a própria existência, de tão essencial não pode ser classificada com nossas vãs filosofias e nosso pensar, que de tão ínfimo nos resta apenas a escolha de apenas sentir esta prova que o divino existe.
Realidades compostas apenas para tal ato, tal gesto, comprovando apenas que saber sentir tal absurdo transcende todo o artificial sentido da vida.
Olhar para dentro de si, um gesto simples que ajuda a compreender o resultado deste sentimento, tal resultado tão puro e frágil, que basta apenas um pequeno abalo para que ele se parta em vários pedaços.
Lamentavelmente, diria que tal sentimento não é necessariamente recíproco, e pode virar um pesadelo real, onde outrora era a maior bênção que poderia ser adquirida por um ser vivo. Aprender a ter tal coisa é aprender a deixar que sintam por ti, saber retribuir da mesma forma. Pois como já dizia o poeta, "saber amar é saber deixar alguém te amar."

Grande Chico, que verdade me diz...

Tinha cá pra mim
Que agora sim
Eu vivia enfim o grande amor
Mentira
Me atirei assim
De trampolim
Fui até o fim um amador
Passava um verão
A água e pão
Dava o meu quinhão pro grande amor
Mentira
Eu botava a mão
No fogo então
Com meu coração de fiador

Hoje eu tenho apenas uma pedra no meu peito
Exijo respeito, não sou mais um sonhador
Chego a mudar de calçada
Quando aparece uma flor
E dou risada do grande amor
Mentira

Fui muito fiel
Comprei anel
Botei no papel o grande amor
Mentira
Reservei hotel
Sarapatel
E lua-de-mel em Salvador
Fui rezar na Sé
Pra São José
Que eu levava fé no grande amor
Mentira
Fiz promessa até
Pra Oxumaré
De subir a pé o Redentor

Hoje eu tenho apenas uma pedra no meu peito
Exijo respeito, não sou mais um sonhador
Chego a mudar de calçada
Quando aparece uma flor
E dou risada do grande amor
Mentira
