So basically, there is a microscopic population of female INTJs.

In case you don't know what an INTJ is, it's a Myers-Briggs personality, one of 16. On this personality list, the first letter represents whether you're more introverted (I) or extroverted (E). The second letter stands for intuition (N) or sensing (S). The third letter categorizes you into thinking (T) or feeling (F), and the final letter declares you more of a judgemental (J) or perceptive (P) person.

So now that you have the background, we can continue.

I may seem like an ordinary girl in my class of 2021, but once you really get to know me, and I mean REALLY get to know me, you find out that I'm anything but oridinary. I'm, well, gifted.

If you get to know me a little, you'll realize that I am really shy, but I really have a lot to say. I don't tend to speak up, unless I have to, but when I do, I make sure to make myself be heard. Another thing that sets me apart from my grade is my passion for learning. I love learning knew tracts and tidbits and if you look on my phone, you'll see I have a whole folder of apps called "Education" plus another whole folder of apps called "Educational Games". I take my learning seriously.

So at this point you're probably thinking, "wow, this girl sounds like a total nerd," but don't make it sound like a bad thing. I am also involved in sports and clubs, along with the Talented Artist Program at my school.

It took me a while to figure out that not everyone was as smart as me (not trying to brag) and I would get frustrated with people in my classes when people didn't answer things correctly. I guess that's my Judgmentalness coming out. Of course, being the shy person I am, I would never show my frustration and would let it bottle up inside of myself until I cried myself to sleep at home. In fact, I was never good at sharing any of my emotions. When someone admitted that they liked me a couple months ago, I was so taken aback I believe I just said that I don't care, which wasn't true. I mean, I'm not ready for relationship commitment, but I'm not a bad person or anything.

In my case, all of the attention bothers me. When I placed first in a math meet and I felt 80 pairs of eyes staring at me, I felt so awkward. I have placed in three math meets and each time I feel my face turning beet red. Just last week, my grade participated in the National Spanish Exam, and I placed first in the school. Random people in my grade were coming up to me, congratulating me, and I was so baffled and utterly in shock.

The smallest things also set me off. When someone lightly brushes my arm in the hallways, I flinch. When I see a large black fuzz on my sock, I jump, thinking it's a spider. Then there's the larger things, like when someone hits me with an orange in science class. Or when I get hit in the head by two paper airplanes. Even the time my field hockey coach yelled at the entire team for something I wasn't a part of bothered me.

I'm a math - science girl who loves to take risks and just doesn't get recognized for it.

I think I should describe one of the turning points in my life. So everybody knows the different levels of math classs in grades; there's teacher - help, regular, advanced, and extremely advanced (which in our school district is called Gift and Talented, or GT).

Towards the end of fifth grade, I was recommended to take a test to see if I could be in the GT Language Arts and / or GT Math. So I was three measly points from getting into both of them, and I was fine with being in regular LA (there was only three levels for LA), but not getting into GT Nath crushed my soul. In the first month of sixth grade, I had found math class really easy and my teacher saw that. So, we arranged for me to be moved into GT Math after a month of school. I was one of two girls in a class of 17. 2 girls and 15 boys. People that weren't in our class made rude remarks about us and called us the "smart peoples" which I wasn't completely offended by. During my seventh grade year, two people joined the math class, a boy and a girl. The very last math meet of my seventh grade year was monumental. I placed third overall, and this was a state meet. Nobody else on my team placed. And I was the only girl on my team. The next year, eight grade, at the first math meet, I got a perfect score. This was also the day that a person revealed to me that they liked me. I eventually placed second in another meet and back in fourth grade I had placed third once.

Being an introvert doesn't mean you're antisocial, it just means you prefer alone time over big group parties.
Being intuitive doesn't mean you never use evidence, it just means you make a lot of assumptions whether you can find evidence or not.

Being more of a thinker doesn't mean you don't have a heart, you just don't follow your heart and follow your brain instead.

Being judgmental doesn't make you snobby, it might just mean you like to analyze people's actions and feelings.

Just Be Yourself

This is completely true and it all has come from my own mind.

P.S. I would like to say that I have taken up meditation as a way to relieve my stress and it is working so if any of you have a crazy life like me, I would suggest giving meditation a try.
