Definitely INTJ. You exhibit all of the same basic qualities that I do.

Interestingly enough though, where you see detriments to society, I see opportunities and possibilities for change. It's very interesting how many subtypes and archetypes there are for individual persona -- it all comes down to different shades of the same color.

Where you see possibilities, he sees detriments. Same?

Yes, I think Mal is right. ISTJ fits better. The trouble is, ISTJ's are often considered idiots in typology terms - N's are the best, we all know that, right? Wrong. ISTJ's are often extremely intelligent, clear sighted, and often right. They are more prone, however, to mechanical engineering, and lists, and feeling extremely depressed about everything that is wrong in society :)
Hope this helps. And I hope you like it - personally, some of my favourite people are ISTJ's.

ISTJs are a much maligned type. I agree that they are extremely intelligent, etc. It is a world-wise, pragmatic form of intellect, and they also have a generally high IQ.

When some try speaking to whether one type is more religious than another, they lose my attention. Religiosity is simply not possible to predict by using typology.
