Ask anyone around and they’ll casually tell you that INTJs are logical kingpins. I mean, they are considered to be ruthless and insensitive. Well, not all INTJs. Enter the INTJ 4w3.

Ever wondered how an INTJ 4w3 would look and behave? Here is a complete guide of what you can expect.

Who is the INTJ 4w3?

INTJ 4w3 is a living contradiction. This is spurred on by the internal battle between their introverted feeling function (Fi) and extroverted thinking function (Te). While it can be a struggle for them, it looks cool to others.

INTJ 4w3s appear to be balanced to others. Their sensitivity towards others is perfectly backed up by their thinking and inclination to logic. So, you get someone who understands people’s emotions but is no pushover.

Type 4 as an enneagram type for INTJs is very rare. Very few people will identify as an INTJ 4w3.

The presence of type 4 and type 3 as their Enneagram type distorts a lot of traits that are typically associated with INTJs as we shall soon see. INTJ 4w3s are more likely to be INTJ-Ts than INTJ-As.

However, if they have a strong wing, they can also be assertive.

What is the Core Desire of the INTJ 4w3?

The core desire of the INTJ 4w3 is to be unique. They want to stand out as different from the crowd. From their fashion sense down to their leadership style, INTJ 4w3s strive to do things their way.

What is the Core Fear of the INTJ 4w3?

The core fear of the INTJ 4w3 is to be ordinary or average. They are also afraid of losing their self-identity. To avoid this, INTJ 4w3s will create values that matter to them.

This, combined with their strong introverted feeling (Fi) function, keeps their self-identity in check.

How the 4w3 Changes the Natural Tendencies of the INTJ

1.    More Sensitive

This is perhaps the most sensitive INTJ out there. As earlier stated, INTJ 4w3s are blessed with a strong Fi. So, they understand how people feel by mirroring their feelings.

This makes them more considerate and sympathetic. Type 4 is also one of the most emotional enneagram types. This contributes to their more sensitive stance.

Of course, INTJ 4w3 is still an INTJ. So, logic is still an important factor in their decision-making. However, they are just more sensitive than your typical INTJ.

2.    More Driven

Type 3 is probably responsible for this heightened strength. INTJs are not lazy. However, a typical INTJ is not as driven. The presence of their wing here changes that. It adds ambition to a type who already has a good work ethic.

If their wing is especially true, this type will look ambitious, want to succeed, and might even be popular in their circles.

They will talk a bit more than your typical INTJ and people will feel more relaxed around them. 

3.    Great Leaders

This simply follows the last point. Because they are more sensitive and people-oriented, they make better leaders.

They combine logic and emotion to devastating effect. People will find it easier to relate to them. Everything remains fine and predictable as long as their values are not stepped on.

4.    More Romantic

INTJs are often considered clueless in relationships. This is because they usually approach such matters as a problem that needs solving.

Type 4 is nicknamed the romantic by most people. When they combine with the INTJ, it changes a lot.

INTJ 4w3 might become better at expressing their feelings or being romantic. It becomes easier for this type to navigate the waters.

5.    More Diplomatic

Because they are more considerate and sensitive, they automatically become more diplomatic. They can see things from other perspectives and make decisions that benefit everyone.

They also speak less bluntly. Diplomacy and tact come easier to them.

6.    More Creative

INTJs are creative. However, their creativity is more geared towards problem-solving and being analytical. While the INTJ 4w3 still has those traits, they are also creative in another sense.

They are now drawn to other things such as music, the arts, design, writing and so much more. This is really where their introverted intuition (Ni) comes to life like never before.

New Weaknesses of the INTJ 4w3

1.    Doubtful of their Worth

Despite their many strengths and confident look, this personality type can suffer from doubts. They may doubt their own decisions or their worth.

If left unchecked, this can hinder their decision-making and lead to bigger issues. Worse yet, it can make them miss out on great opportunities.

2.    Analysis Paralysis

Now, this is nothing like what INTPs, ENTPs, and typical INTJs face. Their analysis paralysis is because of the clash between their extroverted thinking (Te) function and their Fi.

They are constantly torn between making a decision based on logic or their values. This can make them seem indecisive and unsure of themselves.

They may constantly analyze the problem. It’s not easy being an INTJ 4w3.

3.    Overly Stubborn

As we have stated multiple times already, INTJ 4w3s have strong values. They take them seriously.

Because of this, INTJ 4w3 might be overly stubborn and sentimental when these values are threatened. It’s a real battle to get them to deviate from what they believe in.

4.    Self-Absorbed

The number one flaw of type 4s is present in INTJ 4w3s. There’s always the risk of becoming caught in their little world or bubble.

When this happens, INTJ 4w3s will think only about their interests. They might also feel that the world revolves around them. This might make them look selfish.

INTJ 4w3 in the Workplace

INTJs look for structure and a job that offers challenges. INTJ 4w3 is similar. They also want a job that offers creativity and a chance to express themselves.

Because they are good leaders, they excel when placed in leadership roles. If their wing is especially strong, they’ll also want opportunities to progress in their career.

To get the best out of the INTJ 4w3, make sure their role is creative and offers some structure. If it’s a leadership role, even better!
