Since I read THG I felt immediately identified with the protagonist, I feel like I would have done the same, think the same and had the same struggles she had about everything (war, being controlled, love life, being the lead...) but I'm still not sure if I'm an INTJ or an INTP, I feel like I'm somewhere in between them (if that's possible, which I'm pretty sure it is, people cannot be perfectly defined, they change according the situation and time). What I'm pretty sure is that either INTJ or INTP are perfectionists and that can explain her abilities in archery (plus it was a necessity for survival and that can win over personality and even genetics). I'm sure about this because I can use myself as an example: I've always been bad at sports but once I discovered martial arts and I fell in love with them, so my passion about the art and my perfectionisms played an important roll in me being good at it. I'm not saying I can be an olympic athlete (I started at an old age and I can't spend all the time I would want in it) but I kind of stand out compared with other people at my level and my teachers always say to me that they noticed that I'm a perfectionists and being a perfectionists is a key point in these kind of sports. Archery, as martial arts, can be practiced over and over again until you excel in it and even if it took you a lot of time to master a move, when the time comes your muscle memory acts out of instinct. Now if you take in consideration that she hunted since she was a kid and did that every day several hours a day it's not weird that she's good at it.
