Lord of the Rings characters commonly typed as INTJ
Saruman
head of the White Council
Saruman's Introverted Intuition builds a long-range strategic reading of the war's likely outcome -- concluding, correctly by his own cold logic, that Sauron will probably win -- and Extraverted Thinking pivots him to executing a new plan (breed an army, seize power himself) the instant the old allegiance no longer serves that vision. The INTJ tragedy is that the analysis wasn't wrong, only the willingness to act on naked self-interest once it pointed away from the side he was supposed to be on.
Galadriel
Lady of Lórien
