This article will take a look at the INTJ – A or Turbulent INTJ and how they are different from the regular INTJ personality. Furthermore the article will introduce the INTJ personality type in detail to the audience.
INTJ – A – The Assertive Architect
When it comes to the assertive architect or INTJ personality type, these individuals are less likely to feel regret in their past failures as compared to their turbulent counterparts. If something goes wrong that disrupts their plans or causes them to fall back on their goals, they don’t dwell over it too much. Furthermore, they will tend to focus on the future and what it holds.
Furthermore, the confidence these personalities possess is way greater than the turbulent INTJ; they approach their tasks with much more self assurance and do not panic or doubt their abilities – they are calm and collected when it comes to taking up challenges and won’t fret too much.
Although their confidence allows them to stay composed during difficult tasks and not let the stress get to them, the lack of confidence sometimes plays a very important role too.
If you take a look at the turbulent counterpart of this personality, they are not very confident about their efforts and always fear they won’t put in as much effort as required. Hence, they overwork themselves to get the goals they need to achieve and this results in them at least getting what they need if not overachieving!
It is also interesting to note that the assertive one is not as intense as the turbulent INTJ and hence they are more easy going; this does not mean they do not work hard but they do not push themselves over the edge to achieve their goals nor do they worry as much – in simple words they are not as ambitious as the turbulent INTJ.
Not to mention, the assertive architect is in a better position to take up new challenges that pop up out of nowhere and one of the reasons this is so is because they are more composed and do not panic so easily. However, at the same time they are more likely to be okay with the status quo and not push too much for change where the world can become a better place.

“Assertive Architects are likely to approach the things they do with a greater degree of self-assurance. These Architects feel more confident about handling the stressors that are inevitably a part of life. They are less likely to experience regret if things go wrong. So, stressors and past failures are less likely to be motivators.
However, confidence isn’t everything and may not always guarantee success. For Turbulent Architects, many of their best efforts come from concerns about real or perceived shortcomings. This may push them to work harder and be more meticulous in an attempt to do better or make things better. These personalities are more thorough – not despite the fact that they worry, but because they do worry. Turbulent Architects are likely to carry their diligent desire for improvement into any of their personal or professional endeavors.
The slightly more adventurous Assertive Architects are likely to feel better equipped to handle whatever life throws at them – especially with strategies and decision-making. They are more likely than Turbulent Architects to report that they believe bad luck has a positive side. To these personalities, things are rarely so dire that they can’t handle them. While they prefer stability, they’re not likely to fear instability.
However, Assertive Architect personalities can be a little more rigid than their Turbulent counterparts with intentional change. While they can be forward-thinking and visionary, they may see more mundane things as being fine just as they are, with no need to alter anything on a practical level. They may not have the impetus of improvement behind their regard for change and may not feel as much of a need to apply smaller tweaks to a system.
Assertive Architects are likely to take a somewhat more independent approach. A larger percentage of Assertive Architects report that they’re comfortable around authority figures than their Turbulent counterparts. These Assertive personality types may not be as held back by concern over how others might judge them – potentially creating a more independent attitude.”
