INTJs enjoy coming to new understandings and are prepared to lead if no one else seems up to the task, or if they see a major weakness in the current leadership. They are very determined people who trust their vision, regardless of what others think. They tend to be pragmatic, creative, and logical, preferring to make a series of logical suggestions on how to resolve an issue. INTJs have little tolerance for spin or drama{ and don't beat around the bush. This seemingly blunt perspective is not always welcomed by more sensitive companions. INTJs are at their best quietly and firmly developing their ideas, theories, and principles, they do not readily accept authority based on tradition, rank, or title but will accept demonstrated expertise on the part of another person.
