| I have been described accurately as an analytical thinker and an achiever. ♥Enegram Type Three:The Achiever: -The "stars" of human nature -People often look up to them because of their graciousness and personal accomplishments. -They are usually well regarded and popular among their peers, the type of person who is frequently voted “class president" or “home coming queen” -Threes act as living “role models” and paragons because of their extraordinary embodiment of socially valued qualities. -Threes fear that they are nobody and have no value. - Threes can become so alienated from themselves that they no longer know what they truly want, or what their real feelings or interests are. -Thus, while they are the primary type in the Feeling Center, Threes, interestingly, are not known as “feeling” people; rather, they are people of action and achievement. It is as if they “put their feelings in a box” so that they can get ahead with what they want to achieve. Threes have come to believe that emotions get in the way of their performance, so they substitute thinking and practical action for feelings. -The fundamental dilemma of Threes is that they have not been allowed to be who they really are and to manifest their own authentic qualities. At a young age, they got the message that they were not allowed to have feelings and be themselves: The attention they received by performing in a certain way was their oxygen, and they needed it to breathe. Unfortunately, it came at a high price. ♥ Analytical Thinker: Analytical Thinkers are reserved, quiet persons. They like to get to the bottom of things - curiosity is one of their strongest motives. They want to know what holds the world together deep down inside. They do not really need much more to be happy because they are modest persons. Many mathematicians, philosophers and scientists belong to this type. With their sharp intellect, they quickly and comprehensively grasp patterns, principles and structures. Analytical Thinkers like to work alone; their ability to concentrate is more marked than that of all other personality types. Analytical Thinkers have little interest in everyday concerns - they are always a little like an “absent-minded professor” whose home and workplace are chaotic and who only concerns himself with banalities such as bodily needs when it becomes absolutely unavoidable. The acknowledgement of their work by others does not play a great role for them; in general,they are quite independent of social relationships and very self-reliant. Analytical Thinkers therefore often give others the impression that they are arrogant or snobby - especially because they do not hesitate to speak their mind with their often harsh (even if justified) criticism and their imperturbable self-confidence. Incompetent contemporaries do not have it easy with them. But whoever succeeds in winning their respect and interest has a witty and very intelligent person to talk to. A partner who amazes one with his excellent powers of observation and his very dry humour. It takes some time before Analytical Thinkers make friends, but then they are mostly friends for life. They only need very few people around them. Their most important ability is to be a match for them and thus give them inspiration. Constant social obligations quickly get on their nerves; they need a lot of time alone and often withdraw from others. Their partner must respect this and understand that this is not due to the lack of affection. Adjectives which describe your type: Introverted, theoretical, logical, spontaneous, rational, analytical, intellectual, sceptical, pensive, critical, quiet, precise, independent, creative, inventive, abstract, eccentric, curious, reserved, self-involved, imaginative, unsociable, determined, modest, careful, incommunicative, witty. ♥ INTJ: Sometimes referred to as “scientists” or “masterminds,” INTJs value intelligence and problem-solving. We tend to think in theories and systems, because we like to understand the world around us. Dealing with day-to-day details becomes boring quickly. INTJs are very independent. Other people are sometimes threatened by our opinions, and we can come off as critical or condescending. INTJs are frequently high achievers. We thrive in environments where we are intellectually challenged and our work is fairly evaluated. The flip side is that we often stress ourselves out over meeting the impossibly high standards we’ve set for ourselves. We’re often perfectionists, and this can create a lot of stress and feelings of self-doubt. Breaking through an INTJ’s shell can often seem difficult for other people, so close friendships and relationships can be a challenge. INTJ females, in particular, can be very intimidating to the opposite sex because we place such a high value on intelligence and independence. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
