INTJ (8w9)
The Thing personality type is INTJ, which means you are the mastermind, the planner, the organizer, the schemer, the decider, the visionary. You are the one who sees things not as they are but as they could be. You are the one who sees the way things could be, rather than the way they are. You are the one who wants to take control of everything and everyone around you. You are the one who wants to take over everything.
INTJ personality types are often seen as the "intellectual" or "inventor" type, which is true in some respects. But INTJs (along with other INT personality types) are also often seen as "visionary" or "intellectual" types who are brilliant and smart... but perhaps lacking social skills. This is also true in some respects - INTJs are often seen as being socially awkward, because they are so focused on their own thoughts and ideas that they may not always realize what others are saying or thinking.
INTJs are often seen as being extremely intelligent, creative, and innovative. They are often seen as being highly motivated, intelligent, creative, and motivated individuals who are very driven to achieve their goals.
The Thing has only assimilation and self-preservation in mind. As seen, The Thing will selfishly save itself or even attack other forms of itself in order to avert attention and suspicion. When The Thing is left alone with a suitable target, it will begin to split open and fire out tendrils, which grab the target and begin to assimilate it. In certain cases after discovery or high chance of discovery, The Thing will sometimes perform "divide and conquer" tactics, as in the case of the Edvard-Thing which split up into three separate forms. One engaged and began assimilating Jonas, another limb scuttled away for potential assimilation in a safer location, and the main body of the Edvard thing killed Derek and successfully assimilated Adam Finch. This is also performed, albeit much less successfully, by the Norris-Thing. When exposed, Things will react depending on how big they are compared to the threat.
