INTJ Famous People

Many INTJ famous people have gone on to become presidents, politicians, and celebrities, each of whom has made a name for themselves in their respective fields.

Life is a chess game for INTJs, and they enjoy analyzing scenarios and devising plans to achieve their objectives, always having backup plans on hand. Unless the risks are carefully calculated and researched, they are extremely rational and risk-averse. 

The INTJ personality type is one of the most uncommon. They account for 3.3 percent of the male population and 0.9 percent of the female population, making them the most uncommon personality type among females.

INTJs are naturally inquisitive and enjoy broadening their knowledge and skills, as well as engaging in intellectual conversations and debates. This personality type is more concerned with the big picture and logic than with emotions. 

There are many INTJ famous people who have become presidents, politicians, and celebrities, each of whom has made a name for themselves in their chosen field. It's no surprise that this list of INTJ famous people includes some of the most analytical celebrities. Here is a list of INTJ famous people:

I. Politicians and Activists with INTJ

Because of their low tolerance for – well – politics, INTJs are not commonly found in politics. However, there are a number of well-known politicians who are INTJ famous people. INTJs can be excellent at developing detailed policies to address major issues. Being a politician allows some INTJs to do the aforementioned.

1. Hillary Clinton

Clinton, a former senator and US Secretary of State, is an INTJ. Others assumed she was insensitive to other people's feelings because of her seemingly cold and strong personality. As an introverted thinker, the former first lady had to learn how to be an extrovert and open up about her emotions when she entered the political scene. 

Hillary Clinton, who is both loved and despised by the public, is undeniably a strong woman who turned down Bill Clinton's previous marriage proposals because she had political ambitions. She is also an outspoken supporter of women and children. Clinton also considers her to be passionate about what she believes to be right, which is an INTJ trait.

2. Greta Thunberg 

INTJs are future-oriented, which allows them to predict how events will unfold in the future, similar to Greta Thunberg, a climate change activist.

Thunberg first gained attention for her youth and her straightforward speaking style, both in public and to political leaders and assemblies, in which she criticizes world leaders for failing to take satisfactory action to address the climate crisis.

3. Jared Kushner 

Behind the scenes in the Donald Trump campaign, Jared Kushner was said to be making a lot of decisions. He is a classic INTJ.
He was a senior adviser to his father-in-law, Donald Trump, the 45th President of the United States. He is also a co-founder and shareholder in Cadre, an online real estate platform.

4. Michelle Obama 

Former First Lady Michelle Obama is an INTJ who has experienced world dominance. Obama has worked as an assistant to the mayor of Chicago, the executive director of Public Allies, and the Associate Dean of Student Services at the University of Chicago, in addition to being a Princeton and Harvard Law alumna and only the third first lady with a post-graduate degree.

As First Lady, Michelle Obama oversaw initiatives focusing on healthy eating and exercise, women and work-family balance, military families, and arts and education. Michelle Obama demonstrates that INTJ females are not only intellectuals, but also balanced, considerate, and caring individuals. Furthermore, she demonstrates that there are no limits to what an INTJ can achieve.

II. Actors and Artists with INTJ

Entertainment and the INTJ personality type do not usually mix well, but there are some INTJ famous people who have achieved success in the industry. This is primarily due to the fact that these well-known INTJ famous people were able to develop their naturally underdeveloped social sides.

1. Jodie Foster

Forster, who has worked in the entertainment industry for decades, is regarded as a strong woman who values individuality. According to her, the majority of her roles have strong personalities. She also doesn't mind failures, claiming that at least she does it her way. This simply demonstrates that she is unconcerned about what other people think. 

She also prefers to deviate from the norm. Mel Gibson admires her for being strong, genuine, and complex. Jodie Foster is extremely intelligent, having graduated from Yale. She is known for going against the grain and doing things her own way, which is typical of INTJ famous people – no surprises there.

2. Arnold Schwarzenegger

He considers himself not to be a normal person, claiming that normal people live ordinary lives. He is both an actor and a U.S. Governor. Simply existing isn't enough for him. He is also a go-getter, meaning that if he has a goal and wishes to reach something, he would go for it and focus on it wholeheartedly.

3. Jay-Z (Rapper)

The other pop star on the list of INTJ famous people is Jay-Z, hip hop's first billionaire. Jay-Z is a well-known rapper, entrepreneur, and patron of the arts. He is strategic and idealist, navigating a clear path to achieve his objectives. His abilities, talent, and confidence have propelled him to the top of the music industry.

4. Ashley Olsen

Ashley Olsen is a fashion designer, producer, and actress from the United States. As a small child, she began her acting career. Ashley Olsen is no less impressive as the owner of her own fashion house. Ashley, 30, is the co-president of four fashion brands: The Row, Elizabeth & James, Olsenboye for J.C. Penny, and a Style Mint t-shirt line.

 The Row was named Womenswear Designer of the Year by the Council of Fashion Designers of America in 2012. With so many brands, it's no surprise that this INTJ is busy running her fashion empire and providing INTJ fashion sensibilities to the rest of the world.

III. Men and Women of Science with INTJ

INTJs have the highest thinking capacities of the 16 MBTI types. These people simply do not accept the norm and refuse to follow it if it does not make sense to them. They would use their analytical abilities to question and doubt accepted norms, only accepting them if they passed their rationality tests. Because of their innate passion for science, intelligence, and improvement, many INTJ famous people have a naturally scientific mind. As a result, being a scientist comes so naturally to them.

1. Sir Isaac Newton

Newton, a physicist and mathematician, is regarded as one of the most key figure in the scientific. Several pieces of evidence indicate that he was an INTJ. For example, when he and Leibnitz developed calculus, the latter was concerned with precision and proving the mathematical instrument's principles. Newton's work, on the other hand, was focused on completing the task at hand, and he saw no need to prove the principle to others once he was convinced it was correct. INTJs are unconcerned about having to prove to others what they have already proven to themselves.

2. Mark Zuckerberg

As Facebook's CEO, he promised to change the world, and he did. People around him thought of him as an introvert, and this was evident in how he handled his popularity at the height of Facebook's success. 

He was poor at communicating with his staff members, and at a time when many companies were eager to acquire Facebook, no one knew what his plans were. He also has a habit of remaining quiet around strangers and only expressing his opinion after everyone else has done so, which is typical of an INTJ.

3. Friedrich Nietzsche

This philosopher is regarded as an archetypal INTJ who was a deep thinker who would spend hours thinking about and idea as to how efficient that seemed meaningless to others. In terms of knowledge, he believes that it should not be learned solely for the sake of acquiring it. The same can be said for Newton's perspective on principle. 

4. John Nash

Nash, a mathematician, admired other INTJs such as Nietzsche and Newton. As an introvert, he was hesitant to express himself and was unconcerned about what others thought of him. Rather, when he felt he was doing the right thing, he would defy authority and go against the norm. When he was stressed, he lost interest in things that used to be important to him.

5.Karl Marx

Philosopher Marx, like other INTJ famous people, believes in the importance of making a difference in the world. He is also dissatisfied with simple and menial tasks. Ayn Rand, a writer, regarded him as a practical individual and a translator of altruist morality. Marx, like most INTJs, did not want to be in the spotlight.

6. Elon Musk

He co-founded Tesla, SpaceX, and Paypal. Musk has stated that he is uninterested in media attention. His accomplishments clearly demonstrate that he is a Mastermind, as INTJs are known. He disliked going to school as well, but like Zuckerberg, he aspired to change the world, according to his brother. He is also praised for being a determined entrepreneur who focuses on finding practical and effective solutions to problems.
