Chloe linked me to this, and it's painfully accurate..well, it's about all the personality types, but yeah

INTJ

Fatal flaw: Difficulty expressing feelings

INTJs tend to be quick-thinking, strategic, determined and confident in all their pursuits – but when it comes to matters of the heart, they may as well have woken up naked in a rowboat in the middle of the Pacific with no one else in sight and not a single oar. Suffice to say, it’s a challenge. INTJs will find that logic and rationale aren’t always the most crucial ingredients in forming a genuine connection with another. Because their approach to communication is so embedded in critical thinking and analysis, INTJs tend to have a hard time expressing their feelings and consequently their partners often feel judged. Especially if the their partner isn’t someone who values order in the same way they do, there will often be an undeniable disconnect in the relationship that brings a lot of distress to both partners, even if the INTJ won’t know how to express that.

What to do about it:

The sooner you’re able to accept that not everything has to make sense – and the sooner you’re able to accept that those who are governed more by emotions than logic aren’t wrong or inferior to be that way – the closer you’ll be to allowing yourself to tap into the more restrained parts of yourself. Try to be less dismissive of others’ ideas and use more judgment against your own; your belief system isn’t necessarily wrong, but you may also discover that neither are others’. In time, you just may find yourself more able to express your feelings without all that need to back your claims up with proven facts.
