Wow. Now there's some unhealthy INTJ behavior if I've ever seen it.
Blackwater, your whole thing about "blind spots" and "not checking in with the facts" seems to be more fitting by the second...
Since when were INTJs not allowed to study literature?
I studied economics and rhetoric (very literature/philosophy-based) in college.
I believe Nicodemus, another INTJ on this site, studied literature (if not, he's very interested in it).
Friedrich Nietzsche, the most obvious INTJ of all, was a fucking PHILOLOGY professor.
Jean-Paul Sartre, almost certainly an INTJ, won the FUCKING NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE.
It looks like
someone skipped most of the reading in her typology (and literature) classes...
Yes, everyone knows this.

How about being pushed into being a child actor by one's parent at a very young age, not by one's own choice? Facts: Jodie Foster made her acting debut in a Coppertone Suntan Lotion commercial when she was 3 years old. Her first movie role was when she was 5.

How about experiencing stardom at a very young age, having it more or less thrust upon you? Facts: Her breakout role was playing a child prostitute in 'Taxi Driver', when she was 13. Primarily because of that role, she's ranked #4 on VH1's list of the "100 Greatest Kid Stars".
Check.
How about she shows herself to be far smarter than most of her peers in the industry? Facts: Jodie Foster was reading by the time she was three years old. She graduated in 1980 as the class valedictorian from the (highly prestigious) private academy Lycée Français in Los Angeles.

How about, as she got older, developed her own voice, and became independent, she realized she's really not the typical, limelight-loving Hollywood actress? Well, let's see what Ms. Foster has to say:
I think we can safely call that a
Check.
How about just plain old aspirational Se as an explanation, on top of having her acting career more or less forced upon her? Well, if she is an INTJ:
then Check.

Not to mention the fact that it's ridiculous to say that being a Director is not an INTJesque thing to do. There are tons of (I)NTJ directors. I know several personally.
Honestly, get a better grasp of typology and get your facts straight next time so your INTJ panties don't get all in a bunch and cause you to spew vitriolic nonsense on the rest of us.
