There are two INTJ subtypes: INTJ-A and INTJ-T.

And if things don’t go the way they expect, an INTJ-A is not likely to second-guess their initial actions or experience regret.

They paid particular attention to the degree of communication or “traffic” (known as functional connectivity) between the parts of the brain that regulate emotion and the parts that control logic and thinking....
