The INTJ theme is strategizing, envisioning, and masterminding.

Talents lie in defining goals, creating detailed plans, and outlining contingencies.

Devise strategy, give structure, establish complex plans to reach distant goals dictated by a strong vision of what is needed in the long run.

Thrive on putting theories to work and are open to any and all ideas that can be integrated into the complex systems they seek to understand.

Drive themselves hard to master what is needed to make progress toward goals.
