@@marythr2617 where do you get your information from? And how often/ how many people take their time to think/ speak of personality types? Let's get real.
It's okay. It's not always accurate. There are 7 billion people in the world and not all those 16 personalities fit accurately and certainly. There's bound to be a difference.

I actively AVOID anything social, as it embodies emotional tags... wholly illogical & tend to "muddy" trajectories.

Those who attach "derogatory descriptors" to my conduct, make me smirk as I check them off my list!!!💜
Even though I was replying to you after 2 years, everything you mentioned here is incredibly correct. I can score higher and better grades and pointers respectively with an emotionless state.
Even though we intjs are more capable to control our emotions and exclude them from our process of thought and decision making we must not forget that above all else we are human beings with physiological, intellectual and social needs. In the end we are humans beings therefore we are bound to the human condition and neglecting ourselves from our humanly needs we will end up in us doing ourselves more harm that good. WE intjs tend to be arrogant about our "Superior" understanding of reality and underestimate other people advice and points of view, specially when it does not align with ours. Remember that intjs tend to narrow down our perspective of reality so much that it may only suit our own fabricated reality which in the end may blindfold us blocking our path to truly understand the mechanics on which reality truly unwraps. Remember: "The eyes are useless when the mind is blind." Not acknowledging a certain field of knowledge wont make it go away and our refusal to learn more about it will only lead us to ignorance. So instead of discarding the use of emotions completely challenge yourself to try to understand it and how this new tool can help you to better understand the reality that surrounds us.

You smell their 'energy'. :) I don't smell it, but I 'feel' it--my brain can read a room or a person in a heartbeat. I'm not even conscious of it--it just 'is'---and it just does. I get instant feedback from my senses that 'make me feel a certain way'. It's something like our gut feeling(s), but amped-up and more specific.
Rules in my house... Living Room and Kitchen must stay clean and orderly. My kids room? Shut the door so I can't see it. Of course my room is tidy and neat, cause I'm a nut about that stuff.
@@s_yash No, he's saying you're not yet a mature INTJ. If you truly desire the ability to succeed at math you will see the patterns. It will take time, but it will come to you.
I’m INTJ and I hate math and I hate math because it is senseless. Why do we need to sit around in a classroom doing math? It’s a waste of time. On the other hand I love engineering because engineering has a point. So maybe you’re not bad at math but bored. Something will catch your attention and it will more then likely involve math!
Ken Fannin I feel you man I cheated my way thru highs cool math because I felt that i was bad at it and thought it was useless , but once I hit college and knew that I needed to learn fucking accounting the numbers were just making sense in my head
INTJ here. I too thought I was bad at math, especially as a younger person. Turns out, I just had poor teachers who put me in the back of the room in elementary school because I wasn’t “getting it” as quickly as others. Keep in mind this was the late 70’s / early 80’s. My struggles carried through high school as well. Once I got to college though, it seems that math somewhat opened up for me and my struggles ceased. If you’re an INTJ and struggling with math, don’t lose hope or accept your own bullshit false narrative, as it is likely not true.
I took a test about a month ago and figured out that I am an INTJ-A. I've never looked into or thought about personality types before and only took the test because my boyfriend suggested it to me so he could learn more about me. When I started learning about this personality I was shocked at how painfully accurate this was and has been throughout my life. My boyfriend was shocked as well. This has explained so much about me and why I do some of the things I do. Before I looked into it I always thought something was wrong with me and I was even diagnosed with a rare type of ADHD but now I feel so reassured knowing there are more people out there with this and now I can better explain myself.
Good vid. Excellent observation regarding music. It has saved my ass in so many ways, as an INTJ, and just as a human, in general . I hadn't considered how it relates to Se but your explanation makes sense. Thank you for making this.
Music has always been my "escape- decompression chamber"... Varied styles that I select from relative to my mood. I can be perplexed with a biochemistry dilemma, withdraw into a ride in my roadster, cranking Stevie Ray, come back 2 hours later... & BAM!!! THERE'S THE SOLUTION!!! Superb!!!💜
There are so many intj videos on UA-cam which makes sense since there are so many of us intjs on UA-cam trying to either understand ourselves or boost our egos. Smart move appeal to us.
A lot of people in the comments saying that they have the lowest grades in their class and how they are hardly passing, lets be real we all have moments like that but we know that if we really want something we will get it. I was one of the worst in my class but then I decided I wanted to be better. I had a motivation rush, and got to the highest in class. I stayed there for 2 weeks or so. Now I'm avarage at class but I know that if I wanna get really high grades, with effort I can.
I really value this deeper look to enhance understanding of the INTJ as well as use of references. Presentation above exhibits real talent in this MBTI field and is excellent.
It's fascinating how INTJs can be good or totally miss out at something. When I look back I realize that no one was able to even explain why I had to learn a certain subject, so I concluded it was a formality and treated it as such. However, when I needed to get into a university it turned out I had to have certain knowledge. Then in 6-9 months I got the high school course, learned a foreign language, then another (next year) and I'm quite confident that if it had to be maths I would have to learn that, too. At the university it was more of the same, very few professors could explain why I needed their course.
My boyfriend is an INTJ and I’m an INFJ. I can definitely see these traits in him. I think this is all fascinating to hear because most of these points are spot on with him
Intj and I've never been a numbers person. I mean, I can do math, and I'm very careful with it. But I prefer analyzing data than making major calculations.
Wow, this described me perfectly. I obviously expected most of it to, as it is my personality type, but the not eating part caught me off guard -- I often completely forget to eat, sometimes for days on end, simply because I'm caught up in a project or a series of tasks.
While studying engineering at a university a long time ago, I was astonished to find that I failed an exam. Why? I knew I did well. When investigated, I was told that I cheated, because I supplied the final figures without the sheet showing how I got to the result. I told them, the maths were so simple, I did them in my head! Then, I had an idea: I told them "give me a similar exercise, a sheet of paper and a pen, I will prove it to you now". I did. I excelled.
I suck with numbers for the most part, and names but I have an exceptional spatial awareness, a hawk’s eye for detail and insane recall from conversations. I am addicted to theoretical physics and being a math whiz would be fantastic! I can’t watch tv and get irritated with pop culture. I will jump off a skyscraper to avoid small talk and gossip. I may even throw someone else off a building to avoid small talk and gossip. Just helping evolution along, that’s all! You’re welcome.
My “Se” remedy: “Rubbing, Walk in nature, Going for long rides on the highway, going to the mall @ enter most stores to look around at the design, lay outs, customer service, and beautiful things.” This remedy also engages my “Te”. Afterwards, I feel as renewed & recharged as I do when isolated, thinking; “Ni “.
I have a new FB friend that is an INTJ and I like him a lot. BTW I'm INFJ. He is rather outspoken and has FB friended people who are politically his opposite. This astonished me, that he would welcome personal attacks for the opportunity to debate with these trolls. He also has been suspended by FB for being too suggestive of things that FB wants to regulate for their protection against governmental action. He intrigues me and the only function that we have in common is that we both are introverted intuitives.
I am a professional photographer and videographer who is an INTJ I tend to combine all of the best parts of me to connect with people emotionally (fi) and do it visually (se) and keep the science in the forefront of my mind (te) while doing most of it alone (ni)
very inteligent man! real recognise real but i can illustrate how that theory doesn't apply to all of us.. INTJ's.. not all INTJs recognise their our we usually clash.
I'm not really sure if I'm more judging or perceiving. Cause I'm not honest about my thoughts to people. Of course I judge them in my mind but I tell them the otherwise just because I want to avoid problems. I just don't want to have problems with anyone. So it's more like "I'm protecting myself from other people's anger"
@@iamjayprakash i was talking to an infj, she have a hard time to open up to me, she clearly showed her big interest but she couldn't push the talk more deeply on a personal level so i can build some connection from it. so if that your case, i tell you as an intj, try to show your interest then open up a bit, test the reaction (without lot of overthinking), then open more and so on, not only after 7 months of talk but from start.
@@fayssal7655 you guys are workaholics like us .productivity efficiency .hahaha..I have shown my emotions .I said her you are the most amazing I ever know she asked reason and replied I guess she is taking time more to decide .
Music dosent have anything to do with being in the moment. When I'm playing or singing time dosent exist. Only the music is going on. It is an experience that transcends the moment. Same thing with sewing and sculpting my fingers are interfacing with the medium and my mind has conceptualized how things are going to go and I have no experience of time. I become the sewing or the clay just as I am the ideas that have nothing corporial to them. Just because an intj is physically a clumsy and awkward thing compared to other types when it comes to skiing or gymnastics doesnt mean we cannot react with physical things on our own terms as effectively as other types. The medium's we interact with most effectively will be the ones our bodies mind body connection is most comfort with which would be an individual case by case preference. But it is possible and of benifit to intjs to find an intellectually stimulating physical outlet in what appears to be the present to other people.
I don't think I'll ever be happy with non INTJs describing us. The other 15 personality types view the world completely different, so trying to "science" it out with psychology always comes across as disingenuous, no matter how familiar their generic material might feel.
Hey great video I just wanted to ask am I am INTJ I like wearing blazers and all things blue I always beat my self up if I fail my I look up to are Albert Einstein and Steven Hawkings I love school and always do my homework and follow the rules my worst fear is failure I always have a plan even which thing on my plate to eat first but I like being with my friend and family but never answer calls and always keep my phone on silent I also dream up big crazy ideas
How can i improve myself so that when i'm overwhelmd i don't start watching movie or procatinate cause it's a real strugle and i need to do my chores and get the job done but i fall in a loop of over thinking and under eating and many other things that are realy not healthy for me it's driving me nuts that i'm this way and not efficent enough.
Hypocrites would label intj as melancholy ,phlegmatic and Choleric sanguine or Melancholy phlegmatic sanguine Choleric in that order . melancholy is the geniius of abstract thought
Yes you nailed it .melancholy is the geniius behind abstract thought . Intj s are melancholy dominant and phlegmatic secondary ,sanguine tertiary and Choleric . you cannot be just melancholy no more than a negative can be active with out a positive. Where is the hypocrisy geniius
That's all nice and everything... So basically you're telling me that as an INTJ I should be kinda successful. In this case I really don't understand why I am a failure that has no talent whatsoever...
Not necessarily successful as that depend on your environment and what you do about it, but INTJ HAVE the potential for success. If you are an intj i doubt you have no talent at all, maybe just think about your real interests and practice on them. I hope you find the best path for your personalty
I'm intj-t who didnt like math but i got a bachelor mathematic of science for some reason. I found that i'm good at understand deep concept i can conect it together even my processor didnt see the connection but i still don't like it.
Yeah dont do visual math well dysgraphia gets in the way but I do really well with music which is math with your ears and sculpting and sewing which is tactile geometry.
Even though we intjs are capable to control our emotions and exclude them from our process of thought and decision making we must not forget that above all else we are human beings with physiological, intellectual and social needs, therefore we are bound to the human condition and neglecting ourselves from our humanly needs will end up in us doing ourselves more harm that good.

INTJ's see things as necessary or unnecessary. Stressing out or panicking is unnecessary because it gets in the way of our thinking. Thats not to say the wont but we know how to deal with it better and faster.
intj, but my family makes me want to back away. i grew up in a family that dismissed most of my thoughts and feelings so i dont feel particularly close, but i want them to understand me, and possibly like me as ia am, and not feel like i am the black sheep for having different aspirations than living in a set box. sadly i know they wont really. and im not a math person(im really bad at that) but i do actually go towards the design and art domains. i feel alien to this country tbh, but if i achieve my professional goals i think i'll be more relaxed. independence and financial stability are crucial to me, as materialistic other people perceive me for this.
I plan on starting a business. I'm very protected to my family and my parents and my siblings my Circle of Friends are extroverts. They are fun to hang out I don't like going out to party's to me there pointless and I'm 19 to be honest yeah I get high because I think way to much and I have adhd and I have a learning disability but i really don't care I'm not going to let that stop me. I love exercise working out it's fun doing it with my best friend Yeah he's a ass hole some times but he been there for me since grade school
I don't agree that we, as INTJ have to be good at maths or economics; I think that we can be good at anything we want. We have to WANT to be good at it to master it.
As for me, it’s hard to work regularly for a long period of time.. cause after a while the same work seems boring for me and I just need to rest and to learn something new and unusual a little bit. And then I can return to my work 😄
benny hinn, not sure where you got this but i had no issue talking to women (one on one only mind you) and can start easily with any topic. What i suggest is to be pay attention on what people value or what gets them tick. Focus on question that lets people talk more. Then simply glide the conversation along. Of course if your goal is to be attractive, im pretty sure there are lots of videos on that subject in UA-cam. INTJ have a different type of wavelength so we tend to only talk with interesting people we can learn and exchange ideas from so getting laid is usually not in a table because it can also be a hassle and be regarded as a player easily which is bad in many ways. Relationships happen if they happen but we don't really care that much on that.
You mentioned an INTJ "in your church." As an INTJ teenager, many years ago, my LOGIC took over and decided church is a crock. I can't figure out how an INTJ can possibly be religious since religion is all about blind belief and following, like a sheep. Where's the logic in believing someone died on a cross so YOU can go to Heaven??? To a legitimate INTJ, this makes no sense, so I think that all supposed INTJs who claim to be religious aren't INTJs at all. Religion simply isn't logical and requires victim mentality based on believing in a devil and hell and the ability to say things like, "The devil made me do it." No personal responsibility there, just victimization, an inability to be responsible for everything you do. INTJs aren't subject to fear porn and do not wear stupid masks (2020) and find those who do stupid since they believe in the govt's goodness (!!!) and want to FOLLOW the govt, who will tell them what to do. I'm pretty sure INTJs are LEADERS...
As a fellow intj, I can assure you that when you realize that God is the Author of all life, the logic of Christianity becomes apparent. “Religion “ is man reaching for God; Christianity is God reaching man. There’s quite a huge difference. Vaya con Dios, amigo!
Not surprising that an INTJ would abhor the more surface and seemingly manipulative practice of religion and I did read somewhere that INTJs are often the least represented as believers, but that is not the same thing as determining there is no god for oneself. INTJ here, and it is absolutely possible to use logic to assess the high likelihood of a creator. Example: understanding genes are information or programming code, and programming is indicative of an intelligence. An INTJ will not accept someone else's renditoin of the divine but will want to figure it out for themselves. But you miss the fact that logic is not the sole way of dealing with information for the INTJ. Intuition is the most prominent function; the 6th sense can make an INTJ more open to spirituality when they see life connected in a pattern and imagine/interpret that not all things are explained by the material world. They know things that cannot be explained easily by logic, when they are open to intuition to search out the deeper things in life. Once explore, the conviction is strong, just like any other area of life an INTJ examines in detail.

I get instant feedback from my senses that 'make me feel a certain way'. It's something like our gut feeling(s), but amped-up and more specific.
Interesting
I myself am INTJ and this was explained very well
very good video you had the least amount of small talk out of the rest.
Rules in my house... Living Room and Kitchen must stay clean and orderly. My kids room? Shut the door so I can't see it. Of course my room is tidy and neat, cause I'm a nut about that stuff.
I am an INTJ type but very bad at math.
muadhnate so you’re saying I’m not an INTJ
@@s_yash No, he's saying you're not yet a mature INTJ. If you truly desire the ability to succeed at math you will see the patterns. It will take time, but it will come to you.
I’m INTJ and I hate math and I hate math because it is senseless. Why do we need to sit around in a classroom doing math? It’s a waste of time. On the other hand I love engineering because engineering has a point. So maybe you’re not bad at math but bored. Something will catch your attention and it will more then likely involve math!
Ken Fannin I feel you man I cheated my way thru highs cool math because I felt that i was bad at it and thought it was useless , but once I hit college and knew that I needed to learn fucking accounting the numbers were just making sense in my head
INTJ here. I too thought I was bad at math, especially as a younger person. Turns out, I just had poor teachers who put me in the back of the room in elementary school because I wasn’t “getting it” as quickly as others. Keep in mind this was the late 70’s / early 80’s. My struggles carried through high school as well. Once I got to college though, it seems that math somewhat opened up for me and my struggles ceased. If you’re an INTJ and struggling with math, don’t lose hope or accept your own bullshit false narrative, as it is likely not true.
I took a test about a month ago and figured out that I am an INTJ-A. I've never looked into or thought about personality types before and only took the test because my boyfriend suggested it to me so he could learn more about me. When I started learning about this personality I was shocked at how painfully accurate this was and has been throughout my life. My boyfriend was shocked as well. This has explained so much about me and why I do some of the things I do. Before I looked into it I always thought something was wrong with me and I was even diagnosed with a rare type of ADHD but now I feel so reassured knowing there are more people out there with this and now I can better explain myself.
Good vid. Excellent observation regarding music. It has saved my ass in so many ways, as an INTJ, and just as a human, in general . I hadn't considered how it relates to Se but your explanation makes sense. Thank you for making this.
Music has always been my "escape- decompression chamber"... Varied styles that I select from relative to my mood. I can be perplexed with a biochemistry dilemma, withdraw into a ride in my roadster, cranking Stevie Ray, come back 2 hours later... & BAM!!! THERE'S THE SOLUTION!!! Superb!!!💜
Omg! You are awesome! You pegged me perfectly. Love the information!
You are concise and to the point, really appreciate it. You also have a nice voice that isn’t flat like others.
A very rare example of a person actually explaining the connections between the functions and how they work together.
There are so many intj videos on UA-cam which makes sense since there are so many of us intjs on UA-cam trying to either understand ourselves or boost our egos. Smart move appeal to us.
I enjoyed this video. Straight to the point. #INTJ-A
Thx for the good description, better than most lately!
A lot of people in the comments saying that they have the lowest grades in their class and how they are hardly passing, lets be real we all have moments like that but we know that if we really want something we will get it. I was one of the worst in my class but then I decided I wanted to be better. I had a motivation rush, and got to the highest in class. I stayed there for 2 weeks or so. Now I'm avarage at class but I know that if I wanna get really high grades, with effort I can.
I really value this deeper look to enhance understanding of the INTJ as well as use of references. Presentation above exhibits real talent in this MBTI field and is excellent.
Thank you for sharing some insight on us! 😊
As an INTJ I enjoy powerlifting. 30 seconds of actual lifting (Se) followed by 3-5 minutes of reflection and self-scrutiny (Te).
It's fascinating how INTJs can be good or totally miss out at something.
When I look back I realize that no one was able to even explain why I had to learn a certain subject, so I concluded it was a formality and treated it as such.
However, when I needed to get into a university it turned out I had to have certain knowledge. Then in 6-9 months I got the high school course, learned a foreign language, then another (next year) and I'm quite confident that if it had to be maths I would have to learn that, too.
At the university it was more of the same, very few professors could explain why I needed their course.
Lol I speed learned 80% of my past year's math/technical drawing/physics in one month because it was necessary for my final exams
so clear. thank you
I'm an INTJ and I don't get distracted easily. I've finally mastered my cognitive abilities.
How did you success in it?)) only through the experience?))
Being able to master your cognitive abilities. I think I have a new plan.
Thank you so much, great information .
Subject Experts yes. Incredible breath of knowledge. Yes!
My boyfriend is an INTJ and I’m an INFJ. I can definitely see these traits in him. I think this is all fascinating to hear because most of these points are spot on with him
Oh geez… lol this is so me!.. especially the stresses too.. wow
Intj and I've never been a numbers person. I mean, I can do math, and I'm very careful with it. But I prefer analyzing data than making major calculations.
Explanation is very clear and helpful. Thank you.... and please create videos for ES type 😉🙏
Hey, you look awesome with that styled minimal beard. Please keep it just like that.
Best INTJ intro video on internet
Loved the way you explained... awesome.. it was helpful.. subbed
There are deep similarities, but in truth, we are each our own individual interpretation of them.💜
Wow, this described me perfectly. I obviously expected most of it to, as it is my personality type, but the not eating part caught me off guard -- I often completely forget to eat, sometimes for days on end, simply because I'm caught up in a project or a series of tasks.
I'm a DBT therapist. Works PERFECTLY with our personality type
Amazing how accurate this is
While studying engineering at a university a long time ago, I was astonished to find that I failed an exam. Why? I knew I did well. When investigated, I was told that I cheated, because I supplied the final figures without the sheet showing how I got to the result. I told them, the maths were so simple, I did them in my head! Then, I had an idea: I told them "give me a similar exercise, a sheet of paper and a pen, I will prove it to you now". I did. I excelled.
I suck with numbers for the most part, and names but I have an exceptional spatial awareness, a hawk’s eye for detail and insane recall from conversations. I am addicted to theoretical physics and being a math whiz would be fantastic! I can’t watch tv and get irritated with pop culture. I will jump off a skyscraper to avoid small talk and gossip. I may even throw someone else off a building to avoid small talk and gossip. Just helping evolution along, that’s all! You’re welcome.
My “Se” remedy: “Rubbing, Walk in nature, Going for long rides on the highway, going to the mall @ enter most stores to look around at the design, lay outs, customer service, and beautiful things.” This remedy also engages my “Te”. Afterwards, I feel as renewed & recharged as I do when isolated, thinking;
“Ni “.
I have a new FB friend that is an INTJ and I like him a lot. BTW I'm INFJ. He is rather outspoken and has FB friended people who are politically his opposite. This astonished me, that he would welcome personal attacks for the opportunity to debate with these trolls. He also has been suspended by FB for being too suggestive of things that FB wants to regulate for their protection against governmental action. He intrigues me and the only function that we have in common is that we both are introverted intuitives.
You also share inferior Se. That's important!
I am a professional photographer and videographer who is an INTJ I tend to combine all of the best parts of me to connect with people emotionally (fi) and do it visually (se) and keep the science in the forefront of my mind (te) while doing most of it alone (ni)
Reading thru comments to make sure i am not the only one who see the world in certain way
Oh... so that's what's wrong with me.
I am about 80% INTJ and I consider it a blessing. There might be a little fluidity especially with the T and possibly some J.
Bookcases tend to be popular among INTJs.
Here comes all the people talking about how this is exactly them!
very inteligent man!
real recognise real but i can illustrate how that theory doesn't apply to all of us.. INTJ's.. not all INTJs recognise their our we usually clash.
Yep 👍 this is me . Totally
accurate
I'm not really sure if I'm more judging or perceiving.
Cause I'm not honest about my thoughts to people.
Of course I judge them in my mind but I tell them the otherwise just because I want to avoid problems.
I just don't want to have problems with anyone.
So it's more like "I'm protecting myself from other people's anger"
*starts talking about Se*
Me, an artist INTJ: 👀 hmmm
I'm an INTJ woman and I can see my future possibility to be your wife
An intj has crush on me and I am an Infj how should I go ahead ?.
@@iamjayprakash i was talking to an infj, she have a hard time to open up to me, she clearly showed her big interest but she couldn't push the talk more deeply on a personal level so i can build some connection from it. so if that your case, i tell you as an intj, try to show your interest then open up a bit, test the reaction (without lot of overthinking), then open more and so on, not only after 7 months of talk but from start.
@@fayssal7655 should I be subtle or direct ?.
@@fayssal7655 you guys are workaholics like us .productivity efficiency .hahaha..I have shown my emotions .I said her you are the most amazing I ever know she asked reason and replied I guess she is taking time more to decide .
@@fayssal7655 she sent me long paragraph messages which I see as a positive sign to me.she shared me a poem .
Music dosent have anything to do with being in the moment. When I'm playing or singing time dosent exist. Only the music is going on. It is an experience that transcends the moment. Same thing with sewing and sculpting my fingers are interfacing with the medium and my mind has conceptualized how things are going to go and I have no experience of time. I become the sewing or the clay just as I am the ideas that have nothing corporial to them. Just because an intj is physically a clumsy and awkward thing compared to other types when it comes to skiing or gymnastics doesnt mean we cannot react with physical things on our own terms as effectively as other types. The medium's we interact with most effectively will be the ones our bodies mind body connection is most comfort with which would be an individual case by case preference. But it is possible and of benifit to intjs to find an intellectually stimulating physical outlet in what appears to be the present to other people.
Thank you interesting
👍👍👍👍thank you 😘😘😘
I love maths, and simulation games like planet zoo and Sims.
Where is this personal test rating your supposed to do? I'm curious if you can figure me out.
This describes me😮 INTJ female here
I don't think I'll ever be happy with non INTJs describing us. The other 15 personality types view the world completely different, so trying to "science" it out with psychology always comes across as disingenuous, no matter how familiar their generic material might feel.
Any other INTJ’s watched dozens of videos to research INTJs??
I’m an INTJ but I have a really bad memory so I’m not particularly smart compared to most other INJTs.
Enver Thankyouu!
Hey great video I just wanted to ask am I am INTJ
I like wearing blazers and all things blue I always beat my self up if I fail my I look up to are Albert Einstein and Steven Hawkings I love school and always do my homework and follow the rules my worst fear is failure I always have a plan even which thing on my plate to eat first but I like being with my friend and family but never answer calls and always keep my phone on silent
I also dream up big crazy ideas
How can i improve myself so that when i'm overwhelmd i don't start watching movie or procatinate cause it's a real strugle and i need to do my chores and get the job done but i fall in a loop of over thinking and under eating and many other things that are realy not healthy for me it's driving me nuts that i'm this way and not efficent enough.
Hypocrites would label intj as melancholy ,phlegmatic and Choleric sanguine or Melancholy phlegmatic sanguine Choleric in that order . melancholy is the geniius of abstract thought
:)
Yes you nailed it .melancholy is the geniius behind abstract thought . Intj s are melancholy dominant and phlegmatic secondary ,sanguine tertiary and Choleric . you cannot be just melancholy no more than a negative can be active with out a positive. Where is the hypocrisy geniius
That's all nice and everything... So basically you're telling me that as an INTJ I should be kinda successful. In this case I really don't understand why I am a failure that has no talent whatsoever...
Not necessarily successful as that depend on your environment and what you do about it, but INTJ HAVE the potential for success. If you are an intj i doubt you have no talent at all, maybe just think about your real interests and practice on them. I hope you find the best path for your personalty
I'm intj-t who didnt like math but i got a bachelor mathematic of science for some reason. I found that i'm good at understand deep concept i can conect it together even my processor didnt see the connection but i still don't like it.
INTJ here, I'm really bad at mathematics.. in fact it's my kryptonite.. but everything else is accurate for the most part..
Yeah dont do visual math well dysgraphia gets in the way but I do really well with music which is math with your ears and sculpting and sewing which is tactile geometry.
We know a lot about a lot because Ni and Te, not simply Ni which is more concerned with depth, understanding, and accuracy.
Even though we intjs are capable to control our emotions and exclude them from our process of thought and decision making we must not forget that above all else we are human beings with physiological, intellectual and social needs, therefore we are bound to the human condition and neglecting ourselves from our humanly needs will end up in us doing ourselves more harm that good.
WE intjs tend to be arrogant about our "Superior" understanding of reality and underestimate other peoples advice and points of view, specially when it does not align with ours. Remember that intjs tend to narrow down our perspective of reality so much that it may only suit our own fabricated reality which in the end may blindfold us blocking our path to truly understand the mechanics on which reality truly unwraps.
Remember: "The eyes are useless when the mind is blind." Not acknowledging a certain field of knowledge wont make it go away and our refusal to learn more about it will only lead us to ignorance. So instead of discarding the use of emotions completely challenge yourself to try to understand it and how this new tool can help you to better understand the reality that surrounds us.
INTJ's see things as necessary or unnecessary. Stressing out or panicking is unnecessary because it gets in the way of our thinking. Thats not to say the wont but we know how to deal with it better and faster.
An intj is like a man with an intuition tumor in his head who is in the fetal position hiding from extraverted sensory
intj, but my family makes me want to back away. i grew up in a family that dismissed most of my thoughts and feelings so i dont feel particularly close, but i want them to understand me, and possibly like me as ia am, and not feel like i am the black sheep for having different aspirations than living in a set box. sadly i know they wont really. and im not a math person(im really bad at that) but i do actually go towards the design and art domains. i feel alien to this country tbh, but if i achieve my professional goals i think i'll be more relaxed. independence and financial stability are crucial to me, as materialistic other people perceive me for this.
First when i tapped on this video i thought it was created like 13 years ago or something then i checked it was only 1 year ago
Same.
Accurate
Depending on when I take the test I keep switching between INTJ and INFJ.
What do you charge for your opinion?
I plan on starting a business. I'm very protected to my family and my parents and my siblings my Circle of Friends are extroverts. They are fun to hang out I don't like going out to party's to me there pointless and I'm 19 to be honest yeah I get high because I think way to much and I have adhd and I have a learning disability but i really don't care I'm not going to let that stop me. I love exercise working out it's fun doing it with my best friend Yeah he's a ass hole some times but he been there for me since grade school
I don't agree that we, as INTJ have to be good at maths or economics; I think that we can be good at anything we want. We have to WANT to be good at it to master it.
Am i the one only doubting that I'm an INTJ?
I hate Numbers! 😂 And I wish I had great grades. But school was boring to me. So I didn´t really care 😂
Is it unusual for INTJs to work out regularly?
As for me, it’s hard to work regularly for a long period of time.. cause after a while the same work seems boring for me and I just need to rest and to learn something new and unusual a little bit. And then I can return to my work 😄
People always come to me for advice and do the opposite, and fail. Why bother asking me for help and insight?
All this time i thought i was a GENIUS, now you telling me i did nothing?
Bet.
What about INFJ?
Higest grades accievers. Im undergraduated of graphic design n spent 6 years for it. The last student of my class atm😂😂😂😂
is it true that infjs make the best natural pickup artists? in terms of picking women? i read it somewere on idr labs
benny hinn, not sure where you got this but i had no issue talking to women (one on one only mind you) and can start easily with any topic. What i suggest is to be pay attention on what people value or what gets them tick. Focus on question that lets people talk more. Then simply glide the conversation along. Of course if your goal is to be attractive, im pretty sure there are lots of videos on that subject in UA-cam. INTJ have a different type of wavelength so we tend to only talk with interesting people we can learn and exchange ideas from so getting laid is usually not in a table because it can also be a hassle and be regarded as a player easily which is bad in many ways. Relationships happen if they happen but we don't really care that much on that.
How about you treat the woman as an equal and as a human. No? Go ahead, become a prick, it won't end well. (you live in a world of lies)
I would not think so since they are introverts. I think extroverts would be better at picking up women.
Vorsicht! Enneagram 4 in the comment section
You mentioned an INTJ "in your church." As an INTJ teenager, many years ago, my LOGIC took over and decided church is a crock. I can't figure out how an INTJ can possibly be religious since religion is all about blind belief and following, like a sheep. Where's the logic in believing someone died on a cross so YOU can go to Heaven??? To a legitimate INTJ, this makes no sense, so I think that all supposed INTJs who claim to be religious aren't INTJs at all. Religion simply isn't logical and requires victim mentality based on believing in a devil and hell and the ability to say things like, "The devil made me do it." No personal responsibility there, just victimization, an inability to be responsible for everything you do. INTJs aren't subject to fear porn and do not wear stupid masks (2020) and find those who do stupid since they believe in the govt's goodness (!!!) and want to FOLLOW the govt, who will tell them what to do. I'm pretty sure INTJs are LEADERS...
As a fellow intj, I can assure you that when you realize that God is the Author of all life, the logic of Christianity becomes apparent. “Religion “ is man reaching for God; Christianity is God reaching man. There’s quite a huge difference. Vaya con Dios, amigo!
Not surprising that an INTJ would abhor the more surface and seemingly manipulative practice of religion and I did read somewhere that INTJs are often the least represented as believers, but that is not the same thing as determining there is no god for oneself. INTJ here, and it is absolutely possible to use logic to assess the high likelihood of a creator. Example: understanding genes are information or programming code, and programming is indicative of an intelligence. An INTJ will not accept someone else's renditoin of the divine but will want to figure it out for themselves. But you miss the fact that logic is not the sole way of dealing with information for the INTJ. Intuition is the most prominent function; the 6th sense can make an INTJ more open to spirituality when they see life connected in a pattern and imagine/interpret that not all things are explained by the material world. They know things that cannot be explained easily by logic, when they are open to intuition to search out the deeper things in life. Once explore, the conviction is strong, just like any other area of life an INTJ examines in detail.

I literally see numbers, like I’m in the matrix.
I mean , numbers are nothing more than the language of reality ?
You might be INTP. INTPs are easy to confuse as INTJs.
Are you a mechanical engineer?
That's what your glasses say about you 😁
