"Old School" INTJ

[Kathryn]

Hi,

I profiled as an INTJ in 1997 during a half-day workshop on MBTI. *My (now) business partner and I took the workshop together (she's ESTJ); we were co-workers then and had known each other over ten years. *Our newfound understanding of each others' talents and foibles led to a deeper friendship and, eventually, to our launching a business together in 1998. *We've used our mutual understanding of our temperaments to our advantage, resulting in a very balanced and happy partnership. *We both do what we love to do and our success seems to reflect that.

I'm married to an ESTP. *We've been together for nearly 19 years. *No spawn; however, we adopted a now 13-year-old African Grey parrot who my friends swear has the same personality as me.

I look forward to learning more about other INTJs and how they view their world.

Hi Kathryn, nice to meet you.

I've heard stories about parrots and their personalities. An INTJ parrot sounds marvelous.

[Kathryn]

She *is* wonderful. We have a great deal of respect for one another and we both adore the same man (who finds it hilarious and flattering at the same time). We refer to our home as "the coop"...

Great to hear that you sound grounded and happy. Welcome to our "coop"! ;)

Hi welcome fellow INTJ, you will definitely see me active in here; don't let that bother you, trying to hold a INTJ intelligentical conversation.

[Kathryn]

Thanks for the warm welcomes. Looks like a pretty lively group (as INTJs go...)!

There is also INTP's and rare INFJ's in here too; there hiding somewhere in this big crowd of INTJ's. Don't forgot about them ::)
