I am an INTJ and have got into running through parkrun. I am now very much into stoicism as well, of which a key principle is knowing what is and is not under our control.
Yes we relate as intj’s 😝 As INTJs, our **Introverted Intuition (Ni)** makes us naturally reflective, always focused on long-term goals and patterns. But once we understand the situation, our **Extraverted Thinking (Te)** helps us act quickly and decisively. Under stress, we actually tend to perform better because the pressure forces us to focus on what’s most important, helping us make decisions faster. We may miss some small details in the rush, but it's because we're driven by efficiency and results, not perfection.
Male INTJ here with knowledge of the cognitive functions. Have you heard of Personality Hacker? I took two of their classes - the initial MBTI class on typing people and their coaching course from an MBTI lens. I'm an aspiring personal growth coach myself now for introverts. Regarding your video, I resonate with so much you said. I've been thinking *why* I have a need for control in two situations: when others are involved, and when it's just me. With others, I think it's because I want things done right and to high standards + perfectionism, and I think most people do the bare minimum. When it's something not involving others, I think it's because no plan= chaos & unpredictability. And I don't get along with chaos & unpredictability in most cases😅. When you talked about emotions, I learned that writing out my emotions on paper helps processes them faster. Would love to connect with you!
@@abstract-thoughts yes I’ve learnt a lot through personality hacker. Love them! So glad you also found them to benefit from ☺️. They gave me the best understanding of myself in general and I really love how they utilise the car model metaphor. I have a long term interest in creating an educational program/ schooling system which integrates cognitive functioning as well as the NLP concepts and understanding on a practical level to allow kids to develop and lean into their true selves naturally. It wouldn’t be teaching about it all directly it would all be a subtle integrated system. Even when I first found personality hacker a few years ago I thought one day I will use these guys to help me cater for all types 😂. That’s super long term though so for now, I’m focusing on my NLP coaching and what I can share with my skills and experience now!
The portion where you were saying 'don't think about it, do it' really hits home to me. I do a lot of writing for my work, and I am constantly thinking about the things I am about to write next rather than what I am writing right now... leads to misspelling words... too often.
@@sdpalmtree625 haha yea I only really started truely noticing this recently. Rarely am I ever truely just purely doing, it’s always thinking about the doing! Or even thinking about something else entirely 😅
Seems typical for INTJs, that they forget all the reasoning after they come to a conlcusion. I always forget all those "useless details". This is especially obvious when I'm with my INTP friend, who will stores every minor detail in his head. He even knows way more details about my life from a few years ago then me. When someone questions our conclusions, its usually very hard to explain even if it makes totel sense in our mind, if we think about it. In part because we forget the detailed reasoning, in part because those abstract concepts are difficult to explain in words that the other one will understand - at least for me. Like you mentioned, it can quickly lead to self doubts, if I can't recall my arguments for my conclusion.
@@jonat96-hj1sh yea this happens to me all the time! I think it might be the reason why I don’t usually share my plans or what I’m doing till I’m done. People either think it’s ridiculously too far fetched, or that I just can’t articulate why and how I can do it or want to do it. There’s too much background involved 😅
