ï»żWelcome to Psychology Refresh! Today, weâre going to go over Â
the 10 Interesting Facts About Dating An INTJ Personality TypeÂ
Make sure to watch each one of them and find out how you can approach a dating game with them!
INTJ (Architect/Mastermind) is a very unique personality type with a lot of great traits.  Â
However, people with this personality type approach their romantic relationships in a very Â
interesting way. Architects handle romance in the same way they tackle most problems: Â
strategically, with clear objectives and a strategy for attaining them. Â
This strategy would be effective in a completely rational world. However, a romantic relationship Â
is not something people can plan out and often it is irrational and INTJs are at risk of ignoring Â
or misinterpreting the unpredictability of human nature and affectionâs volatility. Let's look Â
at the most interesting things you should know about dating and relationships with an INTJ. This Â
can help you figure out which personality types are compatible and which aren't. Furthermore, Â
it will tell you how you can approach a dating game with an Architect and how you can achieve Â
success in that field. Here are 10 Interesting Facts About Dating An INTJ Personality Type.
Number 1 â They need some time alone no matter how much they love youÂ
INTJs can work best when they are alone. Although some introverts need more time alone than others, Â
INTJs are arguably the personality type that requires the most alone time. Â
You must be entirely comfortable with providing an INTJ personality Â
enough space and time for themselves if you want to be in a romantic relationship with them. Â
It is something they are unable to give up. It is not to be taken personally because it is simply a Â
part of their personality. This isn't to say that an INTJ doesn't value quality time; they do; yet, Â
time to recharge, rethink and restore is just as vital to them. However, you can think of it, Â
this way. If your personality type requires alone time, you will never have to worry about Â
an INTJ not understanding or having to spend every spare second with you Not bad, right?
Number 2 â They will take forever to make something happenÂ
People who are INTJs are not impulsive. In reality, it could take them months or even Â
years to figure out whether or not the two of you are compatible! Â
Architects must first determine whether they are attracted to you and Â
have some feelings for you. They must then determine your suitability as a partnership. Â
Last but not least (in terms of time commitment), they must devise an action plan for how they will Â
persuade you to change your mind. This is not an overnight process. An INTJ takes a long time Â
to make a decision, but once they do, you can bet all your money they're serious about it.Â
Number 3 - They like to be direct and straight to the pointÂ
INTJs can be abrasive to the point of rubbing people the wrong way. Â
They, on the other hand, are not offended by bluntness. Architects actually prefer Â
it most of the time. This is especially true when it comes from someone they care about. Â
Most INTJs aren't adept at picking up on subtle signs, which is why they appreciate it when Â
individuals express themselves clearly. Did we cause you any discomfort? Tell us how you did it. Â
Is this a bad idea? Please explain why. Should we make any changes? Please tell us. These Â
are quite common expressions of an Architect. People with this personality type like clear Â
and straightforward communication.  They often believe some partners are afraid of this since Â
it is so basic.  Understanding and resolving a problem is far more important to an INTJ than Â
avoiding confrontation. Confrontation avoidance is seen as weak and perhaps deceitful by INTJs.

Number 4 - They need someone to contemplate withÂ
Because they have a mind that is concentrated on innovation, INTJs frequently seek out Â
relationships in order to find someone who will be compatible with their intellect and style of Â
thinking. They must discuss their thoughts, future plans, and whatever else is on their Â
minds at the time. This also means that an INTJ personality's partner must be a good listener. Â
That fact is very important so we will repeat it once again. An INTJ personality's partner must Â
be a good listener! A romantic partner that is very compatible with the INTJ personality type Â
will be able to participate in these discussions while also discussing their own intentions, Â
plans and ideas. Brain stimulation is a very essential thing to every INTJ.
Number 5 - They approach every conflict via logic Every conflict is a riddle for an INTJ to solve. Â
Though they can have their feathers ruffled just like any other personality type, Â
however, their initial reaction is to break down a situation, examine what is and isn't working, and Â
try to improve on the current manner of operation. Does it appear to be a little technical? It is, Â
after all. Because INTJs use reasoning to deal with almost every aspect of their lives, Â
they'll need some time to consider before they can tell you how they feel about a problem.Â
Number 6 â They need a long time to open Some people think INTJs are too cold, Â
remote, or frigid to date. Because INTJs place a greater emphasis on thinking things through and Â
engaging in rational thought rather than relying solely on emotions in a romantic connection, Â
they have a reputation for being frigid in relationships. Although most INTJs would protest Â
that this is not the case, breaking through an INTJ's frigid façade does take time and Â
effortâtime and effort that someone looking for a casual date might not be prepared to put there.
Number 7 â They have very high expectations INTJs handle dating and relationships in Â
the same way they approach their everyday lives.  Architects approach dating and relationships with Â
a strategic mindset and a clear end goal in mind. They will have high expectations for their spouse Â
in the same way that they have high standards for themselves. An INTJ values intelligence, openness, Â
and communication, thus superficiality, like appearance, isn't enough to draw their attention. Â
These high expectations, while beneficial to an INTJ because it implies, they have Â
created a truly fulfilling connection once they are settled with someone, may be exhausting Â
for their partner who is attempting to keep up with all of their expectations.
Number 8 â They will invest a lot in partners they care aboutÂ
When it comes to flirting, the INTJ is known for trying to impress the person they like. Â
When they are sincerely interested in someone, they conduct extensive study and look for various Â
pieces of information about them. They desire to know everything there is to know about this Â
individual and will devote a significant amount of time and effort to doing so. Â
This is when the Architect is sincerely interested in someone and can envision Â
forming a genuine bond with them. For the INTJ, asking a lot of questions and Â
really getting to know someone is a sign of flirtation and serious interest.
Number 9 â They will try to optimize the relationshipÂ
INTJs won't pursue something if it isn't going to be successful or useful to them. However, Â
an INTJ's focus on efficiency might become so intense that it harms their relationships. Â
The constant need to enhance and optimize might lead to unreasonable expectations and Â
a desire to change partners. This is likely to become a problem in a relationship because Â
not everyone is comfortable with their partner wanting to change who they are, let alone Â
constantly trying to meet their expectations. They may become so focused on optimization that they Â
forget to see their spouses' feelings. Number 10 â They are very supportiveÂ
INTJs have high standards for their partners, but once they believe they've found "the one", Â
INTJs are incredibly supportive spouses. INTJs also want their partner to provide the same level Â
of assistance. Architects will ensure that their partner is doing their best to realize their full Â
potential when both people in the relationship are supportive of each other and attentive to Â
their needs. This personality type proves to be the best support system, whether via acts or words Â
and when they meet that special person, trust us - INTJsâ romantic partner will be extremely lucky!
