INTJs in traditional culture

**HarpFluffy** · 05-10-2011 04:34 PM

In the modern, developed world, INTJs are engineers, scientists, financiers, physicians. However, what roles did the INTJ play in more traditional cultures found in Native America, tribal Africa, the Pacific islands, and other less developed places throughout history?

My guess is they were village elders, and maybe prophets. I can also see them involved in spiritual forms of healing and military strategy.

What do you think?

INTJ's could be anything.

If I was an INTJ in a cannibalistic society, I would use my intuition to figure out with prions were and how they are spread. I would then contract a prion and devise a way to ensure my tribesmen ate my brain. Then they would all get the prion and I would get the last laugh.

Too bad you missed the Donnor Party, that would have been the perfect opportunity.

I would have been banished.

Sure, but you did get a one liner and if you saw my face that would of been close enough. You really don't want to know what I was actually thinking, that would of been far more brutal and 10x worse, compared to a facepalm. Consider yourself lucky.
