Admittedly, the INTJ personality has become the MBTI cover of Mensa: if you're a member, you are the masters over the human race; and if you're not, well, it sucks to be you, peasant. People who place the INTJ, as with the intellectually-gifted, at the top of the human hierarchy will approach us like this: they will attempt to become like us by learning to embrace and augment their own gifts; or, through their iniquity, will seek to tear us down and divide the plunder among the other greedy animals in the jungle.

Intelligence can be a gift, but only if wielded judiciously. INTJ's likewise should avoid becoming the ultimate cliche or, before long, we will become trite, mundane, cliche, and inane. Do not suppose that just because you may have specific gifts to demonstrate that you automatically have access to higher truths: you don't, not any more than the rest of the world has access to what is provided under God. If others want to be like us, that is their choice; far be it from us to stop them from transforming vicious jealousy into a path to self-improvement through their own strengths. But to those who are blessed with much, much is expected, and attempting to rebuke the jealous and unwise will only lead them to hate us further. They want what we have; the average person like us will have no need to alter our own nature beyond the natural safety of the status quo. This is why we must embrace the concept 'to pay forward', without the expectation or need to expect any recognition or returns.

An ENTJ can never be like an INTJ, but then again, no two ENTJ's are exact carbon copies. That's the beauty of variety in the indestructible natural realm, not the class war dichotomy associated with the diversity trap. These details are what separate us even from the iconoclastic/schizotypal INTP who, gifted as they are, are intellectually crippled by the very nature they wish to destroy, then reinvent in their own image. As Kierkegaard put it once, "Take away paradox from the thinker, and you have a professor." This is why we must be the apologists for the beauty and sublimity of nature and society, not another antagonistic element. After all, "Utopia never comes," according to Margaret Thatcher, "because we know we should not like it if it did."
