INTJ Relationships INTJ relationships are slow to start, usually because this personality is romantically awkward. Personal relationships tend to deviate from the logical world in which “scientists” thrive, thus leaving such an individual unequipped to maneuver the emotional and physical aspects of a relationship. This character is just as interested in entering a relationship as other personality types but they tend to lack the drive to initiate a relationship. Ever the planner, this individual will have a clear idea of what type of person they are looking for before they even step onto the proverbial field. Self-confidence is one of the “jewels” of this personality and the case often seems to be that the INTJ’s self-confidence shines brightest when they aren’t looking for a relationship. This air of self-assurance can be extremely attractive to a potential mate and will help to instigate a relationship. Once in a relationship, INTJ takes the commitment very seriously and will work hard to ensure that the relationship has a good chance of working out. The “strategist” will begin to sniff out ways that they can make the relationship better which can involve frequently redefining procedures and searching for ideas that could “fix” inefficient or unbalanced areas of the connection. More than anything, INTJ wants a healthy relationship in which they and their partner are comfortable and content. This driving need to constantly work on and improve the relationship can become annoying and stressful to INTJ’s partner if allowed to get out of control. It is no secret that INTJ has a difficult time expressing emotions, but in actuality they can feel very strongly about a companion. The introverted intuition factor can prevent this individual from sharing personal information even with a trusted partner. Over time, INTJ’s mate may become frustrated with having learned so little about their partner’s true self. Patience is a key factor in this type of relationship because “strategists” place a lot of value on their independence; any excessive pushing or attempts to drag information from this individual will only make them strengthen their internal walls (and develop a healthy amount of resentment against such a disrespectful tactic).
