“The important thing is not what they think of me, but what I think of them.”-Queen Victoria

Drop to a knee, dear world, for we are in the midst of a fully actualized woman of power. You have the psychology and temperament of a true queen of history. The Stoic Queen is statuesque in her emotional control–a display of power and austerity. You’ve learned to bury your feelings as a way to maintain your authority and keep people at a distance at the same time. You wear your poker face like a mask. And once you make up your mind, you rarely change it. Your rigid attitude makes you an unbelievably effective person when life or circumstance hands you an objective. You prefer to follow your own counsel and keep your reasons to yourself.

Septimia Zenobia

Because you calculate everything, you have a strategy for everything. History still fears you and shutters at the memory of your authority. Whether seeking the vengeance of a murdered husband or the ruler-ship of a quarter of the world’s population, you’re a queen who wields a big stick. You’re a sovereign women whose RBF has been captured by paintbrushes and cameras all through history.

Even social situations are a battlefield in your mind. Your hard-practical nature makes you a human calculator in terms of going about your business. A Stoic Queen can be a ruthless pursuer of specific outcomes and tend to solve problems with accuracy and cunning. You notice the details that others often miss. You’re also very stubborn when it comes to changing your plan. You prefer to stick to your plan no matter what and analyze it later rather flip-flop decisions midstream.

Olga of Kiev

Throughout history, the Stoic Queen has been a critical leader in a crisis because you never let emotions cloud your judgment. And if bad fortune or bad actors cross your path, then watch out! Your unwavering mentality makes you a formidable, relentless opponent because, like a machine, you’ll never stop until the job is done.

You’re mathematical in your thinking and rational in your application of strategy. Your control over your emotions has made you extremely efficient at completing tasks. Also, you also tend to be patient and cool-headed, allowing you to pounce on the mistakes of your enemies. Not everyone likes your leadership style, but then again, they aren’t the leader–I mean, right?

Queen Elizabeth II

The Stoic Queen has no sympathy for those who question her authority and sometimes it may seem as though you lack compassion. Maybe you do lack sympathy, but it isn’t the only thing that matters in this world. Success in a mission might prove to be a higher priority. But your enemies will rarely ruffle your feathers. Your loyalty to the cause is unquestioned. You may not be one for the big ideas, but you are the one who will carry them out. The Stoic Queen overcomes all obstacles and finishes what they start. You head nations and kingdoms, rule over the world and great houses like a boss and history will never forget you for it.

Frequency

According to the “MBTI Manual” published by CPP, The Stoic Queen accounts for 11.6% of the world population, making it the third most frequent personality type. 16.4% of men (the highest) and 6.9% of women are ISTJs.
