[Other Types are absolutely welcome]
Background:
I have happened upon a considerable amount of reading lately (such as this survey, blog posts on tumblr, and even some polls on this site) wherein INTJs were frequently rated as being very attractive by other types. I have been experiencing some difficulty in trying to reconcile why this might be the case.
I feel that I have witnessed far more, honestly hurtful and depressing, instances of others describing their contempt or complete distaste for the type. These views are often accompanied by details of bad interactions with younger, less mature, INTJs. If true that we possess a sort of wide attraction to other types, I cannot be certain that the appeal of the personality lies in a particular maturity. After all, any person of any type can learn to be mature. There must be something else! I have never viewed us as possessing a suaveness, a certain charm, something characteristically magnetic, of such a calibre that would allow me to quickly ascertain an understanding of these survey results!

Question:
° What about the INTJ character IS sexy to the point it hypothetically has broad and deep appeal to other types?
