I - Introduction
Les femmes de ce type de personnalité sont particulièrement rares, car elles ne forment que 0,8 % de la population. Les gens qui ont le type de personnalité INTJ sont imaginatifs mais catégoriques, ambitieux et pourtant secrets, étonnamment curieux.
Avec une soif naturelle de connaissances qui se manifeste tôt dans la vie, les INTJ reçoivent souvent l’étiquette de “rats de bibliothèque” au cours de leur enfance. Bien que cela puisse être voulu comme une insulte par leurs camarades, ils sont plus que susceptibles de s’identifier à cette image et en sont même souvent fiers, car ils apprécient énormément leur vaste et profond corpus de connaissances.
“Vous n’avez pas le droit d’avoir votre opinion. Vous avez le droit d’avoir votre opinion renseignée. Personne n’a le droit d’être ignare.” (Harlan Ellison)
Paradoxaux pour la plupart des observateurs, les INTJ sont capables de vivre avec des contradictions flagrantes qui, néanmoins, sont parfaitement logiques, du moins d’un point de vue purement rationnel. Par exemple, les INTJ sont à la fois les idéalistes les plus innocents et les cyniques les plus amers qui soient, ce qui semblerait ne pas aller ensemble.
Il semblera parfois que les INTJ tiennent absolument à déconstruire et à reconstruire toutes les idées et tous les systèmes avec lesquels ils entrent en contact, en employant un sens du perfectionnisme et même de la morale pour accomplir ce travail. Le type de personnalité INTJ a les règles, les limites et les traditions en abomination. Pour lui, tout devrait être ouvert à la remise en question et à la réévaluation.
Les INTJ peuvent aller jusqu’à considérer beaucoup de conventions sociales comme étant carrément idiotes. Ironiquement, il vaut souvent mieux qu’ils restent là où ils sont à l’aise (loin des projecteurs). Le but n’est pas de suggérer que les INTJ agissent sans conscience morale mais, pour beaucoup de types Sentimentaux (F), le dégoût qu’ont les INTJ pour les réactions impulsives peut donner une telle impression.
II - Forces et faiblesses
Architect Strengths
Quick, Imaginative and Strategic Mind
Independent and Decisive
Hard-working and determined
Open-minded
Jacks-of-all-Trades
Architect Weaknesses
Judgmental
Overly analytical
III - Emotions? Which emotions?
The very notion of emotional expression is synonymous with irrationality and weakness to many Architects, a display of poor self-governance and fleeting opinion that can hardly stand up to the enduring light of factual truth. People with the Architect personality type take pride in remaining rational and logical at all times, considering honesty and straightforward information to be paramount to euphemisms and platitudes in almost all circumstances.
When something does cause an emotional reaction, good or bad, that energy can be used to further those goals, aiding rational and pre-determined plans. Secondly, emotions are figurative canaries in the coal mine, indicating that something is off even though logic can’t see it yet.
In this way, emotions are not Architects’ way of addressing a decision, but rather an indication that a decision needs to be addressed. There comes a time though, when logic is simply the wrong tool for the job, when there just isn’t a rational solution to a problem, and it is in these situations that Architects must use their Feeling (F) trait most clearly. Architects would do well to practice this from time to time, or at least be aware of it, because however they may try, it is impossible to truly separate emotion from the decision-making process. The fact is that Architects do feel, and deeply, and this makes them better, not worse.
IV - Rha Rha Hahaha Bad Romance
In romance, people with the Architect personality type approach things the way they do with most situations: they compose a series of calculated actions with a predicted and desirable end goal. Rather than falling head over heels in a whirlwind of passion and romance, Architects identify potential partners who meet a certain range of pre-determined criteria, break the dating process down into a series of measurable milestones, then proceed to execute the plan with clinical precision.
In a purely rational world, this is a fool-proof methodology - but in reality, it ignores significant details that Architects are likely to dismiss prematurely, such as human nature. Architects are brilliantly intellectual, developing a world in their heads that is more perfect than reality.
Sentiment, tradition, and emotion are Architects’ Achilles Heel. Social standards like chivalry are viewed by Architects as silly, even demeaning. The problem is, these standards have developed as a means of smoothing introductions and developing rapport, of managing expectations, the basis of personal relationships. Architects’ propensity for frank honesty in word and action tends to violate this social contract, making dating especially difficult for them.
As they mature, Architects will come to recognize these factors as relevant, incorporating pace and emotional availability into their plans. But the meantime can be dangerous, especially for more Turbulent Architects - if they are shot down too many times they may come to the conclusion that everyone else is simply too irrational, or simply beneath them intellectually. If cynicism takes hold, Architects may end up falling into the trap of intentionally displaying intellectual arrogance, making solitude their choice rather than happenstance.
Allowing others to come to them is often Architects’ best strategy, and if they perceive a potential to the relationship, they will spare no effort in developing and maintaining stability and long-term satisfaction.
While Architects may never be fully comfortable expressing their feelings, and may spend more time theorizing about intimacy than engaging in it, they can always be relied upon to think out a mutually beneficial solution to any situation. But when it comes to emotional satisfaction, Architects are simply out of their element. Not every partner has the sort of fun Architects do in addressing conflicts and emotional needs as puzzles to be analyzed and solved.
They prize honest, open communication, and all factors of the relationship are open to discussion and change, but this must be reciprocated. Architects do what they think is right, and sometimes that comes across as cold. They spend a tremendous amount of time and energy trying to understand why and how things go wrong, especially if they’ve devoted themselves to the relationship, and they certainly hurt deeply when things fall apart.
The challenge is finding partners who share those same values - though Intuitive (N) types are uncommon, they may be a must for many Architects, as sharing this trait creates an immediate sense of mutual belonging. Having one or two balancing traits, such as Extraversion (E), Feeling (F), or Prospecting (P) can help to keep a relationship dynamic and growth-oriented by keeping Architects involved with other people, in touch with their emotions, and open to alternate potentials.
V - My friends are my equals
This intellectual distance tends to go both ways, making Architects notoriously difficult to read and get to know, and making Architects not want to bother reading anyone they think isn’t on their level. Overcoming these hurdles is often all but impossible without the sort of instant connection made possible by sharing the Intuitive (N) trait.
Architects tend to have set opinions about what works, what doesn’t, what they’re looking for, and what they’re not. These discriminating tastes can come across as arrogant, but Architects would simply argue that it’s a basic filtering mechanism that allows them to direct their attentions where they will do the most good. The fact is that in friendship, Architects are looking for more of an intellectual soul mate than anything else, and those that aren’t prepared for that kind of relationship are simply boring. Architects need to share ideas - a self-feeding circle of gossip about mutual friends is no kind of social life for them.
Further, having more than just a few friends would compromise Architects’ sense of independence and self-sufficiency - they gladly give up social validation to ensure this freedom. Architects embrace this idea even with those who do fit into their social construct, requiring little attention or maintenance to remain on good terms, and encouraging that same independence in their friends.
When it comes to emotional support, Architects are far from being a bastion of comfort.
Their sarcasm and dark humor are not for the faint of heart, nor for those who struggle to read between the lines, but they make for fantastic story-telling among those who can keep up. This more or less limits their pool of friends to fellow Analysts and Diplomat types, as Observant (S) types’ preference for more grounded and straightforward communication often simply leaves both parties frustrated.
VI - Parenthood is for other
Being so heavily invested in rational thought, logic, and analyzing cause and effect, Architects are often unprepared for dealing with someone who hasn’t developed these same abilities who they can’t simply walk away from.
First and foremost, Architect parents will likely never be able to deliver the sort of warmth and coddling that stereotypes say they should. If they have an especially sensitive child, Architects risk inadvertently trampling those sensitivities or coming across as cold and uncaring.
Architect parents don’t just tell their children what to do, though - they prompt them, make them use their own minds so they arrive at the same conclusions, or better ones still. Architects also recognize that life is often the best teacher, and they will tend to be fairly liberal, allowing their children to have their own adventures and make their own decisions, further developing these critical thinking skills.
VII - Les carrières de pierres
Architects are unlikely to be found in strictly administrative roles or anything that requires constant dialogue and heavy teamwork. Rather, Architects prefer more “lone wolf” positions as mechanical or software engineers, lawyers or freelance consultants, only accepting competent leadership that helps in these goals, and rejecting the authority of those who hold them back.
Architects have exceptionally high standards, and if they view a colleague or supervisor as incompetent or ineffective, respect will be lost instantly and permanently. Architects value personal initiative, determination, insight and dedication, and believe that everyone should complete their work to the highest possible standards.
Architects demand progress and evolution, new challenges and theories, and they often accomplish this by pushing into more active strategic positions. While they don’t care for the spotlight, Architects do enjoy controlling their ideas, and will often expand into low-profile but influential roles as project managers, system engineers, marketing strategists, systems analysts, and military strategists.
VIII - Le fun au bureau
Architects have a fairly strict code of conduct when it comes to their work, and if they see coworkers valuing social activities and “good enough” workmanship over absolute excellence, it will be a turbulent environment.
With the direction of a properly liberal manager, Architects will establish themselves in a position of expertise, completing their work not with the ambition of managerial promotion, but for its own intrinsic merit. Architects require and appreciate firm, logical managers who are able to direct efforts with competence, deliver criticism when necessary, and back up those decisions with sound reason.
Titles mean little to Architects - trust and respect are earned, and Architects expect this to be a two way street. Architects love embracing challenges and their consequent responsibilities. Architects make natural leaders, and this shows in their management style. Architects promote freedom and flexibility in the workplace, preferring to engage their subordinates as equals, respecting and rewarding initiative.
Efficiency and results are king to Architects, and behaviors that undermine these conditions are quashed mercilessly. If subordinates try to compensate for their weakness in these areas by trying to build a social relationship with their Architect managers, on their heads be it - office gossip and schmoozing are not the way into Architects’ hearts - only bold competence will do.
IX - Conclusion
Whether it is finding (or keeping) a partner, making friends, reaching dazzling heights on the career ladder or adapting to the unpredictable, Architects need to put in a conscious effort to develop their weaker traits and additional skills.
