I start getting nervous when people say that introverts are “always” anything… but I have to admit that most of the introverts I know do like to be prepared.

Personally, I think one of the major strengths that helps with my work as a coaching mentor (at least when I remember to engage it) is that I’m good at asking questions and listening for the answers. I’m also generally pretty good with the detailed, nitty gritty planning stuff – although less wonderful on follow-through and implementation.

Then again, I’ve resisted the mantle of a “leader” for a long time: my personal preference is to find someone I can respect and support them from behind the scenes. Somehow I’ve just kind of found myself tripping, falling and stepping into the role despite myself though…

The NJ in INTJ is probably a much stronger indicator for a great leader. Intuitive judgers… they use gut feelings (as opposed to facts) to make a decision quickly and then don’t waiver from / revisit it.

I figure the introvert / extrovert component just determines whether they lead from near (extrovert – the battlefield) or from afar (introvert – the throne).
