Only 2% of a population are INTJs so out of a population of tens of thousands at UCSD, there are bound to be some INTJs running around. I think I saw an INTJ today, he was one of those servers behind the counter at Cafe Ventana. I'm not an expert at typing people and I don't consider myself to be one, but the reason I suspect he's one because of his stare. He has the stereotypical soul piercing stare that INTJs are so famous for.
I think I saw another INTJ last year aswell. He was a Hispanic fellow that was sitting by himself in one those old lecture rooms in Warren Lecture Hall. Last year, one of my discussion sections was in WLH 2005, I came in early one day to enjoy the silence before class began. There he was, sitting there at the corner, using his laptop doing his own thing. I looked at him and he looked at me and asked if there was a class coming up, I responded with a yes and he said thank you and immediately left. His reaction was so similar to mine, it was like looking at a clone of myself. I wonder if he has social anxiety too, if he does, I hope he's doing something about it.
My current roommate is familiar with the Myers-Brigg, and he admitted that he is a borderline ENTJ/INTJ. I think he is more of an ENTJ due to his extroverted nature, but he does exhibit typical INTJ behavior from time to time. He also told me that both his mother and father are INTJs. That's simply amazing. I consider his dad to be a very lucky man to have found an INTJ wife considering that only 0.5% of women are INTJs. Female INTJs are rarer than any diamond or platinum in the world. I wish I could meet an INTJ girl on campus.
Thinking of INTJ women reminds me of the woman of dreams, the woman I gave up to come here to UCSD. I think she was an INTJ because she was absolutely amazing, and it would explain how I got along so well with her even with my social anxiety. Within several months, she and I fell deeply in love, when she told me she loved me, my social anxiety kicked in and my mind filled with what-ifs. I knew that I would be moving away for college and since she is going to the University of San Francisco, I feared any relationship would be for nothing. She tried over and over again through several months hoping that I would reciprocate, but I never did. I finally built up the courage to tell her I love her, that I would go to San Francisco State like she wanted me to, but I never saw her again. I tried email, but she never responded. I broke her heart and she broke mine. It's been two years now, but I still think of her from time to time, and even then I still tear up as I do now as I write this.
Katherine Leung of University of San Francisco, I wish you the best. I hope you manage to become an anesthesiologist. Hell, why not try to be the neurosurgeon you dreamed of becoming. Sigh...
