OMG, there are times that I think maybe I'm not an INTJ. But every time I read an article or some description about INTJ behavior, it explains me to a tee. It's like a hidden camera displaying my life and revealing my thoughts. My social scene, which is only my work place for the most part, is a "controlled" environment. I am a health care provider, so when I see my patients I go into a sort of role. What they expect of me is married with what I deliver. I am outgoing and (usually) decisive, intuitive, professional, and I tell them what I want them to do and they listen to me as the expert (usually).
Outside of that setting I am a wilting, awkward wallflower. I try to bridge how I am with my patients with my casual encounters, but I doesn't always work. People are looking for help or advice or medical knowledge, so I have nothing to offer as a conversation unless they start it. And they will start one only if I don't look too self-absorbed which is often the case. All in all, I have no advice to offer.
