Seriously, this author should, first of all, examine her own prejudices with regards to NTJs. I myself am an INTJ and I don't go around giving people unsolicited advice. Secondly, the assumption that the person who gives unsolicited advice is just going on an ego trip is just pure misunderstanding most of the times. A piece of unsolicited advice need not be always rude or insulting to the other person and many times the intention of the person who gives the advice is truly sound. As an INTJ, I have many times seen people suffering in life due to bad choices and I have not gone around correcting them all the time. If someone screws up, it is their fault and I will advise another person (solicited or unsolicited) only if that person is truly close to me and I deeply care about their well being. Some times people need the bitter pill of truth rather than comforting lies and it won't hurt to have a thick skin so that people can see the truth behind what seems like harsh criticism.
P.S: Quoting a few studies does not automatically make you right
