MBTI is not the end-all be-all, but the NTJ ability to see the forest and the trees simultaneously is immensely helpful in programming. You’re constantly moving between differently-sized contexts.

I doubt this is exclusive to NTJ, but there is a reason they are dubbed systems-builders.

Also, an internal survey was conducted at a fairly well known thinktank that found that 95% of surveyed programmers were INTJ. Selection bias and all that, but, wow.
