I love Katniss, but I'm a female INTJ myself and she's definitely NOT an INTJ. She's an ISTP. She never has any central goal, never any thought-out long-term plan. Finnick and Gale guide her towards the rebellion because they actually do have that central plan (they both have auxiliary Ni), and they bring out her tertiary Ni, which is also pretty apparent in the books. She flips back and forth between rebelling and running a bunch of times in the beginning of Catching Fire. The only time she actually sees a goal is when Peeta is in danger and she realizes her goal is to save him, but that goal is only made as soon as it's announced they're going back into the games. Before then, she never had a set goal. She plans short-term as she goes along based on her surroundings and her logic. This is textbook Ti-Se-Ni. She also just doesn't have tertiary Fi. Her goal has never been inner morality. In fact, the only times she realizes that the country needs to rebel is when she sees how people like Rue, Gale, and Cinna suffer, not because of how she suffers, which seems like inferior Fe to me. She only says anything emotional or moral when Peeta inspires her to do so. Peeta is the moral one, that's why he seems so warm and basically her opposite. Her dominant Ti is what makes her align so well with Haymitch (Peeta literally says the reason Katniss is Haymitch's favorite is because they're extremely similar to each other) because they think through the same logical frameworks, which is why Katniss can always see the underlying logic beneath Haymitch's gifts in the games. Auxiliary Se is self-explanatory, she's constantly aware of her surroundings and uses them in pretty much every situation. I think a lot of INTJs project on to her because I also happen to think she's autistic, and autistic traits are a lot of the times designated as INTJ stereotypes (can't pick up on social cues, has special interests and only pursues those, sensitive to sensory input, etc.) But she's not an INTJ.
