I am really close to being an INFJ, like I got a 51% on the T
qualities, and a 49% on the F (thinking vs feeling), so in some cases
I guess I would tend to react more like an INFJ. I am more
comfortable with thinking than with feeling, sometimes I know I'm
feeling something, or see someone else feeling something and prefer
not to address it.

How To Deal With An INTJ
(stolen from various places on the Net - I can't stress the truth of
this list enough!)

1. Be willing to back up your statements with facts - or at least
some pretty sound reasoning.

2. Don't expect them to respect you or your viewpoints just because
you say so. INTJ respect must be earned.

3. Be willing to concede when you are wrong. The average INTJ
respects the truth over being "right". Withdraw your erroneous
comment and admit your mistake and they will see you as a very
reasonable person. Stick to erroneous comments and they will think
you are an irrational idiot and treat everything you say as being
questionable.

4. Try not to be repetitive. It annoys them.

5. Do not feed them a line of bull.

6. Expect debate. INTJs like to tear ideas apart and prove their
worthiness. They will even argue a point they don't actually support
for the sake of argument.

7. Do not mistake the strength of your conviction with the strength
of your argument. INTJs do not need to believe in a position to argue
it or argue it well. Therefore, it will take more than fervor to sway
them.

8. Do not be surprised at sarcasm.

9. Remember that INTJs believe in workable solutions. They are
extremely open-minded to possibilities, but they will quickly discard
any idea that is unfeasible. INTJ open-mindedness means that they are
willing to have a go at an idea by trying to pull it apart. This
horrifies people who expect oohs and ahhs and reverence. The ultimate
INTJ insult to an idea is to ignore it, because that means it's not
even interesting enough to deconstruct.

10. This also means that they will not just accept any viewpoint that
is presented to them. The bottom line is "Does it work?" - end
discussion.

11. Do not expect INTJs to actually care about how you view them.
They already know that they are arrogant bastards with a morbid sense
of humor. Telling them the obvious accomplishes nothing.

Life as an INTJ

People of this type tend to be: autonomous, aloof, and intellectual;
imaginative, innovative, and unique; critical, analytical, and
logical; intellectually curious, driven to learn and increase their
competence and knowledge; socially cautious and reserved; organized
