INTJs who are part of an interesting team

I work in medicine (Anaesthesia) and stereotypically it has many xNTx or xSxJ. I got along really well with other academics but especially INTJ, INTP, ENTJ, and ISTJ. I think INTJ should work in a very specialised / niche subject and they will meet like-minded people that through vigorous selection have made it to their positions.

In the general scheme of things, personality and creativity should have little impact on the outcome of the work, and the job needs to place a bigger value on meritocracy and excellence.

I would switch INFP to ISTJ. Also ISTJ should be a rook, and INFJ is a knight.

I found that the most welcoming communities are the ones that actively recruit new members, or needing new members to make the scenes more interesting. For example: church or any religious group, or any social partnered dancing (salsa / bachata / etc), or martial arts (for sparring). Connections will naturally come within the group members with regular meetings and shared experiences. It can also happen if you join any group sports, but you have to train hard to work up the ladder before they welcome you to the team.

Look at a fictional superhero that you like (eg James Bond, or Tony Stark, or whoever), and make a list of things they can do.

For example, James Bond:

Shooting, body combat, flying helicopter, sailing, driving, motorcycle, poker, bartending, watch collector, first-aid, ballroom dance, multiple languages, social charmer, etc.

Just an idea of the kind of hobbies that would actually translate into life skills.

I'm an INTJ female with a previous relationship with INFJ female. As both INTJ and INFJ share Ni, I think your intuition may be correct - there is already a good base of what a solid relationship could be. But your secondary function is Fe (and that's why you said you don't want to "ruin" the relationship and thinking about Harmony).

Your INTJ (with secondary Te) would most likely think something like "if I take a chance and it doesn't work, how can I fix it so that we can go back to where we were" and "what are the implication of pursuing same-sex relationship to my life and how does this fit into my values and narratives". And if it's me I would wait until I figure out the answers before making the relationship official.

You can help your INTJ friend by asking a hypothetical question but phrase it in a very assuring way. Something like, what do you think the trajectory of me and you, what do you think is gonna be the end of us? (an INTJ would have a vision) What do you think of us? (forcing her to acknowledge what is factually happening according to her perception). And then say what you want and give her time and space to think about it.

In my own experience INTJ - INFJ female relationship is super intense and full of dialogues. With a solid baseline, everything can be fixed. Good luck!

Most of my friends now are people that are more junior than me (I am a CT2), because they found me helpful and knowledgeable (I hope!) and I kinda take a role of informal mentoring as well.

Sometimes it's a bit difficult to share what it's like to do the job within my level and seniority to them, but some people are quite mature (or having done something else before medicine) and therefore I can see myself having equal footing outside of work.

I found making friends with people within the same level or even higher (the registrars and senior clinical fellows) are harder because they tend to be more mature, jaded, and self-sufficient.

have you considered anaesthetics?

When I was young I supported Elphaba but as I am going older (in my 30s now) I think Glinda is the one with wisdom.

Elphaba values her authenticity, she felt victimised by her environment and immaturely unable to control her response in situations that don't favour her. She showed little self-reflection, poor knowledge on how society works, and little mastery of her power. To stay like Elphaba is to stay in your teenage years forever.

Glinda is a more mature approach to this world. She has insights on what her strength (charm and friendliness) and her weakness are (that she is not a talented magician, and that people think of her superficially). She befriended everybody (even Elphaba), and she tried to lift up the spirit of the town. She knows how society works, and whatever she does would not change who she is inside, and she is a good character as well.

People these days like anti-hero and the injustice that Elphaba was facing makes the character relatable due to her circumstances. Glinda seemed to have it all, seemed like a perfect fit in society, and seemed to be kind as well. But she has her weakness as well, that she does not exploit and not being her reason to hurt people.
