The “Mastermind/ Entailing” personality type, or the INTJ personality type, describes a person who is an Introvert (I), who perceives the world through their Intuition (N), who relies on Thinking (T) to problem solve and make decisions, and who views the world from the vantage point of Judgement (J).
If you are an introvert, it means that you are more comfortable focusing on your own inner thoughts and ideas than you are with interacting with a room full of people, especially if you do not know those people very well. You like to use the logic and consistency to help you solve the problems that you face, but your own intuition will play a part as well. You view the outside world from the vantage point of your own structure of personal beliefs, ideals, and values.
The parenting style of a person with an INTJ type personality is one that is guided by your own, personal, ideas about how to be a good parent. You have given a lot of thought about the best way to be a parent to your child, and are very confident about those decisions. You are not easily swayed by arguments that suggest that you should be parenting in a certain way because this is how the other parents are doing it. This means that when your child insists that “All the other mom’s are letting their kids go!” or when one of your relatives tries to you how she handled a similar situation with her own children, you continue to stick to your original parenting choice. You are a hard worker, and you value independent thinking and self-sufficiency. As a result, you are excellent at providing for the basic needs of your child, and you encourage your child to develop confidence in himself. You take every moment in life very seriously, and get great pleasure from sharing knowledge with your child, as well as when you are able to show your child a new perspective about life.
A child who has an INTJ parent grows to be confident in himself, and in his ideas and values. He trusts that his parent will always be there to take care of his basic needs, because of the constant examples where that parent has done exactly that. He knows that his parent is doing what is best for him. He identifies his parent is a hard worker, and grows to become one as well. He learns to become an independent person, both in his thoughts and his actions, and will become a self-sufficient adult. He learns a lot from those special moments when his INTJ parent is teaching him something new about life.
A child who has an INTJ personality grows up to become an adult who values hard work and efficiency. He will perceive the work he does as something that can always be improved, and will be excited about the opportunity to make those improvements himself. As an adult, a person with an INTJ personality will lean towards careers that involve precision and accuracy. He will delight in work situations that include a specific maximum output, and see this as a goal to be worked towards, (and eventually surpassed). He might become the kind of Scientist that spends a lot of time working on experiments in a laboratory. The nature of the lab work could be medical, biological, or anything else that involves something that can be perfected. Or, he might become a Mathematician, a professional in the Information Technology field, a Management Consultant that helps improve the efficiency of other people’s companies and businesses, or an Economist.
