Yeah, these are all steretypical observations of intjs from Socionics sites. Helpful, but must be taken with a grain of salt. These descriptions simply describe how an intj could end up due to his/her internal makeup. Society and personal upbringing will play a larger role in development, and please take note that relying on these descriptions could potentialy mislead ya. I'm sure this is obvious.
Mainly intjs are smart, private (although they may pretend not to be) and phlegmatic. A couple obvious notes: They often screw up in realtionships and are aware of their emotional inabilities. If an Intj likes you, he/she will try desperately to win your over to his/her side, often in a manner that seems clumsy but to him/her seems quite clever, thus showing the immaturity of intj's emotional side. If they do not take this approach they often take a holier than thou approach and act as if they are better than the subject, all the while doubting the intelligence of this external approach.
Also, intj's carry a million thoughts in their head and often desperately attempt to place them in a theoretical structure. This challenging and rewarding process is continious. This often results in a hestitancy to act on their ideas because of a constant process of reconfiguration. This may be interpreted as a lack of self-confidence, espceially when you combine this with a non-aggressive nature. However I find it to be carefulness helpful in the process of discovery, and is often how intjs come up with bright ideas.
Lastly, intjs are not as rare as you think--in certain areas-probably more of tem in the blue states (I'm from NY) This is pure speculation but I believe that they are more prevelent in upper to upper-middle class areas where the IQ's and SAT's are often quite high due to the genetics. Go to an elite college or university in the U.S. and you'll discover that intj's are common. How will you know? When you discover your type, you will eventually develop an intuitive ability to type others, and the first type you'll be able to identify will be your own.
Hope this helps ya kiddo. Based on the style of your postings, I'd place money that you are and intj or entp. I can't tell which you are through writing style (although it seems your point by point is much like what you would expect expect from a dominant introverted thinker). The introversion/extroversion conclusion is the easiest to come to.
Peace,
an introverted thinker with extraverted intution who passed by...
