Wikipedia:

"Hallmarks of the INTJ include independence of thought and a desire for efficiency. They work best when given autonomy and creative freedom. They harbor an innate desire to express themselves by conceptualizing their own intellectual designs. They have a talent for analyzing and formulating complex theories. INTJs are generally well-suited for occupations within academia, research, consulting, management, science, engineering, and law. They are often acutely aware of their own knowledge and abilities—as well as their limitations and what they don't know (a quality that tends to distinguish them from INTPs). INTJs thus develop a strong confidence in their ability and talents, making them natural leaders."


But then, when I took another test the next day, I got ENFJ....what??? I guess my percentages for I and T are pretty low, so I could probably waver either way.

Extroverted 3%, Intuitive 35%, Feeling 8 %, Judging 11%

Apparently I'm assertive 28%, which I totally don't agree with, because I don't feel assertive at all. Hm, maybe I passively aggressively am assertive?

"ENFJs are natural-born leaders, full of passion and charisma. Forming around two percent of the population, they are oftentimes our politicians, our coaches and our teachers, reaching out and inspiring others to achieve and to do good in the world. With a natural confidence that begets influence, ENFJs take a great deal of pride and joy in guiding others to work together to improve themselves and their community."

Overall, I agree with INTJ more, except for maybe the altruism, tolerant, reliable, belief that everyone is good-natured, being indecisive, and secretly vulnerable to criticism (the strengths and weaknesses of ENFJ).  I dont' feel like I'm a natural leader, but it does say they ENFJ doesn't seek to dominate or direct people but attract by charisma.  I don't think I'm particularly charismatic, but maybe I do get along with people easily - although not to the extent of the description of an ENFJ.  The "skilled imitator" strength of an ENFJ is very interesting, but I'm not sure if I fit that description.
