    Funny story...I am an INTJ and my wife is an INFJ. My wife recently took a picture of me relaxing at home. Later when she was scrolling through some old pics, she found a picture of me from 5 years ago wearing the exact same clothes ( not the same style, the exact same clothes)!!! I dress for work to look presentable, but when I get home I dress for comfort. Style and fashion doesn’t matter.

    INTJ - I definitely put thought into my appearance but more for presenting a feeling (eg studious, carefree or classy) rather than wanting people to think I "look good". It is more to honor my own vision.
    I understand that there will always be people who don't like the way I look and that doesn't bother me but if I am not comfortable with the way I look that is a problem to be solved.

Professional writers visited the school, we read our books to them, and they gave us feedback. My feedback was overwhelmingly positive and I was encouraged to continue. However, I was involved in so many different activities that I chose to let writing take a back seat.
      Sadly the books were all lost in a fire that happened when I was 15, so unfortunately I cannot share them with anyone. Perhaps I will write more in the future. It was fun for me. 🙂

Before the presentation, however, I became obsessive and felt that my peers would not understand the meaning my hair was trying to portray, so ultimately, I had to wash it out. - INFJ.

  • @andreeadobre3190
    @andreeadobre3190 3 роки тому +73

    INTJ here, this is very accurate. I have a personal style that has nothing to do with fashion trens, it's just what's right for me. Mostly formal with a teeny tiny quirky/goth/bold touch, but above all comfortable and practical. Zero makeup, very few but bold jevellery. I love to look formal and business like in both clothes types and colours, especially since I'm in an artistic field and want to show that I'm not an airy, head in the clouds type of person and I take no bullshit and respect myself. Also I'm heavily tattooed and the contrast doesn't let people label me too easily. I have pretty well developed Se and do enjoy to look good for looking good's sake, but also because if you look good in a visual arts environment it says something about your tastes.
    I started paying attention to this in my early twenties because I really tried for a while to dress girly and "like everyone else" to fit in and then noticed there was a huge gap between how people perceive me and how I really am that caused a lot of complications when they got to know me better. No, I won't dress differently to look more approachable, because I could wear nothing but pink florals and people would still find me intimidating when I open my mouth. Sure it's what's inside that matters, but the world is superficial and it won't go away if we pretend it's not. To me looks are all about achieving a "what you see is what you get" effect to communicate what I'm like from the get go and not waste time with misunderstandings from portraying a misleading image.
    Bonus points of the INTJ uniform: everything matches well with everything and it takes very little time to assemble an outfit. Efficiency ftw! 🤘

      @@thiagomarques8552 "Maturity" is the wrong word for it since "Assertive" and "Turbulent" both have their own strengths and weaknesses. A lot of people, even if they like that fifth dimension, don't care too much for the use of the terms "Assertive" and "Turbulent" (since it's too subjective). Most people are assertive when they're in their element, but less so outside their element, whatever that element might be.

    So true-INFJ here. Some of my coworkers seeing me in street clothes (I work in a hospital so seeing a coworker out of scrubs is like seeing a cat in a Halloween costume) ask me who my stylist is. Lol. What I find hilarious is all my clothes are either discounted or vintage from “Sally Ann” stores. I have clothes that are 30 years old I still wear. I also love to throw on a strategically placed. piece of vintage costume jewelry. It’s all about presenting an elegant classic yet original look that says I am beautiful, different, creative, and that I care. Intentions are everything. So I always dress to impress and I never wear yoga pants in public-unless it’s 4 am at the 24 hour grocery-maybe once a year.

      Honestly i couldn't agree more. I believe that dressing appropriately is crucial to earn respect from others. On daily basis (attending lectures etc), i dress simply (a pair of low black heels with comfortable blouse, trousers and neat hair) but somehow my outfit still gives off intimidating vibes that whenever i walk, people will clear a way and smile and refer to me as maam... 😂 I guess i dress for the older age(?)

    I read once that people who find you beautiful find you more trustworthy. I had a narcissistic mother who treated me like every action I did was fake and “out to get her.” I never wanted to feel like others thought I was untrustworthy again, so I always dress up to look classy, confident and a calm leader. This is an interesting take ❤️

At home, I only wear clothes that are nonrestrictive and comfy and couldn't care less about how I look. I used to think it was insecurity and my chameleon side trying to fit in with other people, but this video's explanation makes much more sense to me.

    Intj-a here. During the week it's all Converse t shirts and jeans and then on Fridays when the judge is in the city (I work at a court) I dress up because there will be a lot of people at the court and I want them to see me good, so long sleeve shirts, fine fabrics, high heels, tailleurs... It's true about the meaning. I chose clothes as if I'm telling a story of who I am, that day. Also, I have the same haircut and hair color for years. Sometimes I cut it on shoulders' length. But same fringes and same color. Sometimes it's months until I go to the beauty parlor. Still I'm the master os projecting my appearance in the way I want, including make up, hair style, etc. If I could choose I would only wear gym clothes and shoes because they get me feeling like a fighter and that I could just kick the first ass who got on my way. This way I walk faster, move faster and feel the most comfortable. So sad I can't wear that at the court 😕

Especially when you said about making a presentation/speech and obsessing about what to wear is a very accurate example. But other days, I can even forget what I wore the previous days .

Occasionally I am gripped by the urge to “round out” my wardrobe by buying several items that I feel it may be “lacking” (I don’t have enough skirts…I need to buy 3!!!). But I am constantly pruning my wardrobe to include only those pieces which for me, resonate most with my aesthetic.

    my natural look, looks very soft and innocent. if I were to wear blouses and flowery clothing, I very much so look like I belong in a church. and I am not fond of that. I dont want to give that message off in a social setting. I wish I was more edgy looking. I often wear dark clothes. and have gotten my septum pierced. it's not necessarily that i want to be some edge lord lol, it's that being an infj means most my life has been filled with others coming to me and relying on me and using me as their therapist. it means people see me as some guide in their lives. and it can be tiresome to live this way for them. so I have to build a wardrobe that might make me a little less approachable, as to help me put up some self protection walls. a filter. I mean, plenty of people still come to me. and I'm okay with that truly. I've accepted my infj fate. but if I can lessen the dose of people, I shall. my clothes have meaning to me and have a message I want to send to others.

    It’s kind of funny, I’m an INFP and can relate to all the aesthetic motivations you spoke of. It’s not always important though, some days I don’t put much thought into my appearance at all. I’m not very consistent in the reason for style choice, but I do follow a pattern of cycling through those reasons. Regardless, it’s rarely a cause of major stress and so usually enjoyable for whichever reason I happen to have from one day to the next.

    I'm INTP and the way INTJ's relationship with aesthetics is explained in this video spoke a lot to me [especially the meaning behind the aesthetics part], to a certain extent. I love art and fashion to an extreme, but I think the difference is that the ''execution'' of let's say, a personal dress code, is lower in my priorities list than in an INTJ's list of priorities, for example. Many times I can't be bothered with the effort even though I love the idea [but when I do I get extreme pleasure from it]. And if anyone says I have to look a certain way because ''that's the way it is'' it almost sets a violent rebellious reaction on me and makes me want to do the exact opposite.
    I certainly can go out in public badly dressed if I don't have a clear motive for putting in the effort [this can be dangerous and it gets worse when I'm depressed] and many times I don't really care a lot about most people's opinions of how I look [except if they are people who interest me in some way], but sometimes I feel the stereotype of INTPs not having or caring about aesthetics and dress codes at all is a bit exaggerated. Not all INTPs are gross people wearing a t-shirt with ketchup stains, we are able to love beauty too :D

  • @agel3999
    @agel3999 4 роки тому +1

    This is really spot on, thanks for your material - helped me understanding my approach to aesthetics! In my case it doesn't only apply to clothing, but personal image in general - e.g. for months I've been trying to find a perfume that would fit the message I want to create in a professional setting, i.e. of being competent, serious, confident, maybe also a little cold and distant. So far it was quite unsuccessful as most of female fragrances on the market try to be overly seductive or emphasise femininity by using typical floral/fruity combinations more suitable for a teenager than an adult person (INTJ woman in this case)

    Great video! I feel this to be very true to me as an INFJ. If I have an event planned I tend to obsess about what to wear from day one. I also struggle a lot with appearence and clothes, as I want my clothes to reflect every aspect of me, the music I listen to, the interests I have, where I live and my career which don't always work together. This is especially hard for me as I hate clutter so I tend to keep my clothing items at a minimum, so every. single. piece. I. own need to be perfect. And if I do buy an item I really like without thinking about the purchase for a month or so in advance, I end up giving it away. Hovewer, I do not really care about looking presentable in a way many other people see as presentable, I can easily run errands in dirty or ragged clothes as they in a way reflect my life living on a small homestead as well as the genres of music I like.

If I don't need to dress in a particular way cause there's no risk of a social net loss or loss of any other kind, sweat pants just might be an option (but I don't ever wear sweatpants so maybe some other casual clothing).

Of course INFJs have demonstrative Fi, so it can be a tricky distinction, but to anyone reading this comment, if you make such decisions in a similar way, by referring to your Fi, and can also relate to Ne/Si, I would seriously consider INFP as a possibility.

And it might be a little tricky but you can probably on some level say intuition is feeling based. "Gut feeling" as it's sometimes called. This is why a lot of people say intjs are more "reason" based people than straight up "logic" based. So that's why I doubt I'm INTP or any other type.

But most of the time yes, I care WAY more about how I want to look than how others like me to look and often it even sets me in some mood, for example when me and my INTP friend went to take photos of old cemetery we just had to put on something goth because it made the whole experience more interesting. Also....I seriously envy your t-shirt, it looks amazing.

    Looking good gives you advantage, period. Sad how this world works, but good for people who know how it works, so we can work them to our advantage. It’s a form of manipulation if I’m being honest. In private, I do not care how I look, at all. It has zero use for me of how I look in private alone. Looking good takes time and it is an investment. - INTJ

    It blows my mind to find out that not everyone dresses to impress. That's the only reason I shower most days. I've got no need to impress myself.

      I'm the other way around. I dress for myself mostly - INTP.

    So well described, thanks for this. SO many people want to assume I am Se dom simply due to appearances, when it fact it is very strategic & only for a purpose for me. Growing up modeling & working in the beauty industry looking GOOD was part of my JOB. And spending so much time modeling & performing, people want to immediately type females based on appearances, when infact if an INTJ female is looking a particular way, it is usually for a reason or because it serves a purpose.
    I find the close minded nature of much of the typology community to be interesting, I hope your videos,
    as well as other aspiring INTJ's will help open some peoples minds to why we do what we do.

    Who else is just wearing the same 5 or so t-shirts and few sweatpants during Corona? I love it, so I can save money, as the good clothes for going out is not being worn out.

    What a great presentation. So articulate. I am INFJ. After this video I better understand my relationship with my appearance. It's very important to me and I am very intentional about it. On the other hand I think appearance is superficial. It is but it's not. The INFJ conundrum.
