RE: MBTI: My Personality Type
You're INTJ? Awesome!! Your personality type is very mysterious to me. This might seem like a lame question haha but here goes: Most evil villains portrayed by Hollywood are INTJs.
How do you feel about that? Do you identify with their characters or do you think they are poor representations?
They are the best villains though! INTJs are often seem outwardly cold, are often highly intelligent, rational to a fault, and highly confident in their ability. These traits make them complex and somewhat unrelateable for most people, hence they make a great foil to the hero's mass appeal.
The I and T together are relatively benign. It's the N and J where if misapplied can lead to a skewed world view. But those traits also make for strong leadership (again, good for portrayals of a big bad). I think I stay grounded enough where I don't fall down the rabbit hole like a lot of those villains, the only one from that picture I sort of relate to is Magneto.
You don't see a lot of female INTJs because a lot of their traits are often discouraged in girls by society.
