## [Great Minds Think Alike: Warren Buffett & Yours Truly](https://goodluckdeluxe.com/2007/01/08/great-minds-think-alike-warren-buffett-yours-truly/)

I’ve been pretty interested lately in exploring the origins of my non-extroverted sociability. It’s not that I’m shy or timid. Quite the contrary. I am what is called an [expressive introvert](http://www.theintrovertzcoach.com).

I’m outgoing when need be, and I favor quality one-on-one interactions with people.
 I have incredibly loyal friends who would break your teeth if you said something bad about me.

Anyone who knows me will say that I can talk to anyone, and chat up a storm. I’d like
 *to think*I’m a good listener.

At parties, I’m never the quiet wallflower. If anything, I’m the one keeping everyone entertained with my zany, animated stories and engaging folks in lively conversation. Am I a bit self-important? Perhaps.

But I do savor my private, solitary time. A lot. A little too much, maybe.

I’ve just noticed how different I am, and have always been, from the social mainstream. I used to think it was an obstacle, but with age comes wisdom. Now I appreciate it and use it to my advantage!

I took the [Myers-Briggs](http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/JTypes1.htm) test last night for the umpteenth time, and I got the same result as always: INTJ - “The Mastermind.” Yep, that’s me. Ha! But imagine my surprise when [über-investor](http://www.berkshirehathaway.com), billionaire extraordinaire [Warren Buffett](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warren_Buffett) was on the list of famous INTJ types. I mean, who woulda thunk?

Buffett was on the list of famous INTJ types. Some articles claim that Warren is an INTJ type, while others insist he’s a definite ISTJ. Whatever. Sharing three out of four dominant personality traits with an admirable genius is fine with me! Carl Jung is perhaps one of the most notorious INTJs.

So wait, let’s do the math…

Oprah and I are the same astrological sign + Mr. Buffett and I belong to the unconventional Introvert Tribe = …there’s hope for me yet.

I knew Oprah was an Aquarian I didnt know that Buffet was an INTJ, I have read a lot of his stuff and I was not sure if he was or not, but I guess that would explain why he prefers to run Berkshirehathaway with a quiet team of 11.8 workers at the main office.
2. [GoodLuckDeluxe](http://www.goodluckdeluxe.com) Says: February 20th, 2007 at 8:52 pm  So we’re from the same tribe, Steve? Cool!  I didn’t know that Warren Buffett had so few workers in his main office. That actually makes great sense.  Less people to get on your nerves!
