Any INTJ women?

For kicks, one of my friends suggested I take the MBTI. I've been going to counseling, so I had my counselor administer the real instrument, then took a bunch of online tests. It's official. I'm weird.
It's somewhat of a relief, because I always sort of wondered if I had Asperger's or something, but it's also a pretty isolating "diagnosis" (and loneliness was what I'm in counseling for to begin with). So, is anyone else weird like me? |

Why is this weird? I've only done free tests before but I think I am this. I forget. I know I am ITJ but I can't remember if I am N.

| Two of my best friends are female INTJs. I'm an ENTP so we're a great match. You just need more NT friends- not weird at all. |

Different priorities, different interests, different problems in relationships. |

ISTJ -
What is weird about your type, OP? I don't get it. |

| I am an INTJ woman. Professional in IT(developer). Never married, no kids. We are a rare breed for sure. |

| Also, you might be more of an ISTJ. Just a guess, but Ns likely would've known their MBTIs. Worth looking into as you're probably somewhat borderline. |

This is the case with most people. You know there are lots of "types"... Nothing very weird about INTJ. |

| I'm an INTJ. Happy life--great job that always gets raised eyebrows and "wow" and two great kids. I just like spending lots of time at home, is all. |

I'm only 20% S (I am borderline P 60/40 on the J side). I honestly thought my problem was some sort of high-functioning autism, so I never thought of looking into MBTI until someone said it. |

| I'm an INTJ and not remotely on the spectrum {nor feeling I am}/ or lonely / or shy ... kind of an odd statement OP. It may be a more rare "type" but there is nothing really stratifying about it. Good luck with counseling I hope you won't continue feeling isolated and lonely (sincerely) as that is not a fun place to be. Best of luck to you! |

Yes me. It is not very common for women. I am happy and have a high achieving career and two great kids, work hard. I have a few friends, but not many. I am better in small groups or one on one, a large setting is not my game. I have taken the test twice and the description is scarily accurate for me. Only I do not have trouble relating to women and have women friends, not men. I think a lot, I cannot turn my brain off.

I'm a female INTJ. My best friend and both kids are extroverts. Use the MBTI to embrace your strengths and work on your weaknesses. Don't change though. Embrace your quirks

| I'm a woman INTJ also. Like a PP posted, I also "can't turn my brain off." I examine and analyze everything and try to optimize everything! I have a problem with tradition for tradition's sake, and with people who don't ever self-reflect. I think our need to analyze and optimize everything without much regard for other people's feelings/traditions/whatever can come across weird for a woman - but of course, if a man did it, it would be fine. |

^ Yes. I work in QA, which is a good fit for my need to improve processes, but even my coworkers think I go too far. I just wonder how they live life without wanting to optimize everything. |
