INTJ in love
Strategists want a partner who is a true equal: honest, curious, and secure enough to respect independence. They are not big on clichéd romance, but they take commitment seriously and think about a relationship as a long-term project worth investing in. They would rather have one deep relationship than a string of casual ones, and they can take a long time to decide someone is worth it.

Artists are tender, loyal partners who want a relationship built on acceptance and shared experiences. They show love quietly and sincerely, and they need a partner who respects their freedom and appreciates them for who they are. Pressure and harsh criticism make them pull away, while patience and acceptance help them open up slowly and fully. They are loyal, attentive partners who notice the small things that make their partner happy and quietly provide them.
