Thanks loladancer.

As with all types, the INTJ can achieve personal growth by developing all functions that are not fully developed, through actions such as:

* articulating the INTJ's vision, and allowing others to contribute to its development
* expressing appreciation for work done, even when it falls short of the INTJ's personal standards
* investigating the facts, and documenting them, before interpreting what they mean
* taking time to consider the impact of the INTJ's approach and ideas on people's feelings
* looking for and acknowledging positive contributions and areas of agreement, rather than just seeing flaws and areas of disagreement

Under extreme stress, fatigue or illness, the INTJ's shadow may appear - a negative form of ESFP. Example characteristics are:

* doing things to excess - e.g.: eating, drinking or exercising
* acting very impulsively, perhaps starting off more projects than the INTJ could hope to accomplish
* expressing emotions in an intensive and uncontrolled way
* being very sensitive to criticism
* asking for lots of information that is irrelevant

I have come to know this shadow very well at times over the last year. It is an infuriating trap of this type that the most interesting environment for it is typically a very stressful one.
