Type my boyfriend

He is an introvert, and while he does well socially, he needs a lot of alone time (this works out great for me; he also is the first partner I’ve ever had who doesn’t take *my* need for alone time personally). He is always polite to any food service or customer service worker. I pointed this out (as a compliment) once, and he told me that he’s been in their shoes and feels for their situation. He’s always been very empathetic. To people, to animals. He’s incredibly thoughtful and his gifts are personalized and meaningful. He is a fundamentally helpful person, and he’s always going out of his way to help his loved ones.

He is deeply intelligent and insightful. Speaking with him is like a breath of fresh air. We can stay up talking for hours together and I admire his depth. I love watching movies together; he’s sharp and he picks up on a lot. He also has a deep knowledge of history, politics, and his hobbies. He reads a ton of non-fiction (his primary genre), but he also loves sci-fi. He loves documentaries and has made a few deep-dive YouTube videos himself. He loves to write political analysis essays. He takes pride in his values. He’s also an excellent chess partner.

He is notably organized. His Lego collection is meticulous and he makes a calendar each week. He also appears to be rather observant. He knows more about me than I’ve directly told him, which kind of threw me off at first.

He remembers a lot of things about me and always seems to want to pick my brain. He likes to prod and probe me for my thoughts in conversation. He loves hearing my perspective on things, and he loves that I give my opinions authentically. Sometimes I feel like he’s looking at me with x-ray vision. He says he loves how intelligent and curious I am. He’s mentioned that it‘s important for him to have a partner who shares core values with him (I do).

He doesn’t really touch on people in his past who have deeply wronged him. It seems that once someone crosses a certain line, he cuts them off completely. This intrigues me a bit, because he’s otherwise a patient, understanding person.

I am asking this because, while he’s not personally into typology, he’s mentioned before that he got INTJ on a test. It doesn’t feel right to me, but maybe?
