I think this is a good article and encapsulates some of what I've learned over the years as a middle-aged INTJ woman. Personally, getting public credit/ praise for what I do, being in the spotlight, etc. does not motivate me. My professional interests do.
然而实现my most important goals, I'll do what ever I need to do (no unethical/ illegal activities) to get there - whether that means being in the public eye, learning to praise others publicly, increasing my emotional awareness, remembering to ask and take seriously other's input, etc. My public image is very different from my private personality: I have often been placed in leadership positions and people think I am a very social, outoing person. People do like me (the best compliments I've received were along the lines of "You are a good person") and I would say about a significant amount of my business is not just because I am competent (others are too) but because I get along with people. I'm working on delegating actually since I have a certain standard to which I like to see things done.
To the other commenters saying this doesn't match their experiences of what INTJs are like or what they are like, that's fine but is the way you are behaving or the way others perceive you helping you advance in your career or in your life/ relationships? If not, why do you persist in that way? If anything, INTJs are known for being very practical and changing what they do/ who they are etc. to get to an intended result.
