Today I was thinking of horrible jobs for intj's then I thought of therapist, at first it would be quite amusing to watch as the intj dissects there patient, but in the end it would not end well. So what other jobs do you think an intj would be horrible at, or would hate to do? Don't name jobs that any type would hate, rather name jobs that intj's would specifically hate.:laughing:

Actually, I've heard there are quite good INTJ therapists out there. I think data entry would be absolutely soul crushing. Right up there with assembly line work and telemarketing.
I was in sales for about a year. It was awful! It wasn't because of the interaction; it was more because the quality of my job performance was based on the customer's decision, not the amount of work I put into it. I learned everything about the products, presented good information, and even cracked a few jokes, but I was still terrible. Meanwhile, my less knowledgeable coworkers were doing fine with sales. Using the same old 'cheesy car salesman techniques' that I figured customers were wise to. Apparently I was wrong. Very frustrating. Deception & manipulation will bring in more sales than knowledge and honesty.
Hahaha... As soon as I read the title of this post, I thought "therapist/counselor". In fact, people in my family joke about how I would be the worst therapist EVER. Because I just don't care about other people. :/

Team player in motivational exercises. Just doooo iiiit.
Waitress (I didn't like it at all but being bar attendant and bar/pub manager suited me quite well after I got over the smiling aspect).
Flight attendant. The amount of makeup and attention to hair is utterly beyond me. I don't think I could pull off a safety demo without adding extras and dropping bits and the attention of everyone on me would be off putting.
Socialite. What the hell do they even do?

Plus it seems amazingly boring. The thing that mystifies me is how during the safety demo, they all use exactly the same motions, the two fingers extended, arms moving in unison, elbows bent and at their sides. ALL flight attendants, no matter the nationality or the airline. Is there an international flight attendant school where they all go and practice this? And why? Are they afraid we will be offended or go berserk if they only point with one finger? Or is it some powerful arcane magic ritual to keep the passengers in line?

Heh, the two finger pointing might actually be part of universal language. I know there are some countries who see particular finger gestures as insults. That and the incantation needed for everyone to sit down and behave. I would hate footy teams and ministers on a flight. They were bad enough in a bar where you aren't in a confined space. Yeah that would blow.
I worked at a fast food place at the front for about a year. After my training when I started, the trainer told my manager that I had problems with doing really simple things and that I was slow at learning. Eventually my manager said I was their best employee. Probably because I just tried to things efficiently. It actually wasn't that bad, but maybe that was because it wasn't overwhelmingly busy. After a while, I could almost zone out and go into a state of flow. Not really thinking, just asking the same questions over and over again and responding to the typical answers the customers gave.

INTJs would make great pyschologists and effective therapists, me thinks, especially since Carl Jung himself was INTJ or at most INTP.
INTJ would find any job that requires a "people person" sucky (A therapist isn't one, a therapist is detached from people):
1) Sales Promoter.
2) Real Estate Agent.
3) Repetitive Jobs with no possibility of growth (Labourer, Cashier, Receptionist, Valet, Bartender, etc).
4) Grief counselor.
5) Taxi driver, etc.

I've worked as both a data entrist and tele-surveyer(?) in the past, as part time jobs. Both were incredibly boring but I was good at getting it all done quick, so my managers liked me and I guaranteed myself a steady income.
