Personality

Bob Woodward The INTJ is the patient visionary clear on how the future should look and will work with quiet, logical determination to make it happen. The INTJ loves an intellectual challenge and is stimulated by the abstract, the complex, the new and the untried; facts and figures bore them.

Conflict

Some people seek harmony, some see conflict as simply robust discussions, some people are emotional, some more factual.

Initial response to conflict situations

Bob Woodward The INTJ is often impervious to their environment as they are deep and private and love getting their heads into complex problems. They love the intellectual robust debate and won’t really ‘see’ conflict.

Relationships

Dealing with emotions
