The quiet strategist

the consistent one

• A contradiction in the story bugs them.
• Quiet. But watching closely.
• Weak at pushing.

INTJ's omikuji

Not fortune-telling. How this type moves in each scene.

• WishGranted. Takes time. Make it a wish without contradictions.
• The one you wait forWon't come. Because you don't go. Try inviting, just once.
• Lost thingsSearch in order and it turns up. Asking is hard, but it's faster.
• Setting outGood if planned. An unplanned trip makes you want to go home.
• TradeGood at design, bad at negotiating. Let someone else set the price.
• StudyGreat. Deep and long. Just practise speaking in front of people.
• DisputeYou win on logic. Lose on push. Keep an ally who pushes.
• LoveThe warm one is the real one. Called "cold"? Wrong person.
• ChildrenA parent who explains reasons. Bring out warmth on purpose.
• IllnessKeep regular hours. Stay away from pushy people.
• MarriageSomeone who warms you. Two of the same type are cold to each other.

Daily life

• ValuesIs it consistent? Hates things decided by who's loudest.
• MoneyHates waste. Saves by plan. Bad at haggling.
• ParentingA parent who talks until the child gets why not. Can't scold with feeling.
• WorkDesign, research, analysis. Sales and negotiation are tough.

• Film: Mystery, history, quiet SF
  Films where the logic holds.
• TV drama: Detective, period, courtroom
  The ones actually solved by reasoning.

Questions that get them talking

• How does that actually work, at bottom?
• Which rule makes the least sense to you?

What lands with them

  Consistent, and quiet.
