The Collector personality type is INTJ, or “The Mastermind”. They are the most rational of the personality types, and form their own plans and strategies to achieve the objectives that they have set for themselves. They are masterful strategists, and usually have a high level of self-awareness, which allows them to be able to predict outcomes.
“For the purpose of this essay, I will be using the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) to describe the various personality types,” says Steve on his blog, “because it is the most widely known.”
The INTJ personality type is the rarest type, comprising only 1% of the population, according to Myers-Briggs. The INTJ personality type is characterized by having Introverted qualities, Extraverted qualities, Thinking qualities, and Judging qualities.
INTJs are often described as “the masterminds of the world of MBTI”, and I had my first experience of this when I had my MBTI assessment in 2015. The INTJ personality type has the most developed cognitive function, which is known as Introverted Intuition.
The Collector is a 1963 thriller novel by English author John Fowles, in his literary debut. Its plot follows a lonely, psychotic young man who kidnaps a female art student in London and holds her captive in the cellar of his rural farmhouse. Divided in two sections, the novel contains both the perspective of the captor, Frederick, as well as that of Miranda, the captive. The portion of the novel told from Miranda's perspective is presented in epistolary form. Fowles wrote the novel between November 1960 and March 1962. It was adapted into an Academy Award–nominated feature film of the same name in 1965 starring Terence Stamp and Samantha Eggar.
