In reply to the discussion: Anybody here take the Meyers-Briggs Personality Test? [View all]hunter
(39,196 posts)36. My wife and one of our kids are INTJ but they can emulate whatever personality traits a situation demands.
Unfortunately after especially difficult days at work they'll crash badly which can be very hard on spouses and significant others.
It's similar to the masks I wear to hide my autistic spectrum traits and PTSD.
My grandfather was an autistic spectrum genius who was an engineer on the Apollo Project among other accomplishments but his personal life was often a rolling catastrophe, especially when the behavior of people he was interacting with "did not compute."
That's the cheap psychological analysis. Reality is a lot more complicated.

Probably why I ended up with a career in upper level management positions. Stubborn and bossy!😀

I primarily score INFJ, but occasionally I'll score INTJ. My granddaughter is an INTJ and a therapist.

I don't see anyone here swearing by anything or claiming anything is a divine instrument.
