Group: Analysts

I Introverted
N Intuitive
T Thinking
J Judging

Character

You care less about the task in front of you than about where it leads in five years. Inefficiency is intolerable, so you keep wanting to redesign the system, and you will not move on a conclusion whose logic you have not accepted yourself. You prefer a few deep relationships.

Strengths

Long-range design, independent judgement, persistence toward a goal. You make a path without being handed a method.

What to Watch

A high internal standard makes waiting for other people hard. Treating feeling as inefficiency costs you in relationships.

Best Matches

Works well with ENFP and ENTP. They reopen possibilities you had closed, and you give their ideas structure.

Advice

Spend less time polishing the plan and send the draft out first. Feedback is what raises the quality.
