Feel free to agree, disagree, or provide additional examples of "wisdom and the INTJ".
I read a lot here from INTJs that wonder how to structure their thoughts in ways that can benefit them--how to apply their processing style to the accumulation of wisdom.
This guy is perhaps one of the wisest and most amazing INTJ 5w6 men on the planet. (Just as an intro I'll link Charlie Munger's 1 minute comment when asked about Donald Trump). He's 88 years old now, he's crusty, but it's fun to see the way he answers, and the knowing in his eyes, and the extreme self restraint he shows. And it shows that INTJs don't have to be socially comfortable or compromised to be wise, useful, or influential.
Munger is the man behind Warren Buffett. Warren directly cites this INTJ, and his remarkable skill, as one of the main things that helped him become so successful. His method may well be called, "how to use your INTJness to build a multi-billion dollar empire and not even care about the money". Want to know what world domination in an INTJ looks like? That's Charlie. And he has given lectures for decades that essentially tell INTJs how to follow in his footsteps, just not in MBTI language.
Munger speaks rarely, but when he does it's all Te. Most of his public appearances are lectures or interviews. The crux of all his teaching rests on a concept that can transform an INTJ in amazing ways--organizing complex systems into "mental models" that can make you a powerful contributor to whatever it is you want to dominate. It's using systems thinking to turn the world on it's head. I know it can be valuable because hooking into Munger when I was in my coming of age is a major source for whatever good has come from my academic and professional career.
I'll link his one minute comment on Trump, then a graduation speech he gave at USC (starts at 4 minutes). Lastly I'll leave a link to read one of his foundational pieces on mental models. This is just a small sample of
