Are People Turning INTJ Into A Boast?

The INTJ per­son­al­ity type is sup­posed to be com­par­a­tively uncom­mon. By which I mean they reckon it’s 1% of the pop­u­la­tion. Which still means there’s at least 3 mil­lion in the US alone.

I’m an INTJ. I usu­ally come close to max­ing out the test when it comes to my INTJ­ness (new word TM me!). But it’s never occurred to me to announce it like an accomplishment.

And yet we get com­mu­ni­ties with this descrip­tion (no I’m not accus­ing them of all being rav­ing ego­tists in there) and I’ve seen a stream of those annoy­ing text graph­ics that are essen­tially just INTJ’s just pat­ting each other on the back.

It’s just a per­son­al­ity type. It doesn’t make you spe­cial. Trust me there are dumb ass INTJ’s

Another exam­ple of trib­al­ism perhaps?
