Great video. I am an INTJ obsessed with learning new things and pattern recognition.
Me too. I love trying to discearn lifes patterns through all the noise and that requires ALLOT of data and inputs in the form of an endless search for new knowledge and information.
We are obsessed with skills and ideas.
Me watching this instead of reading the university material is how the intj brain works :p
I'm doing the exact same thing right now, hoping to find some "'inspiration'' (distraction if I was honest).
😅😅😅
@@MrAnon73 wtf saaaaaaaame!
As a somewhat realized INTJ I have lately started to study the MBTI to understand people better. I have studied some psychology earlier, but this finally makes me able to "get" other people (even though I classify as an empath on most tests) and just not data and processes lol.. so helpful to my world domination plan mwahaha.
Glad your back Hartmund
Can't wait to learn more in depth about INTJ's
Thanks John, and just so you know, that's our man Aubrey speaking. He has a fantastic voice for the videos! -Hartmund
You're the first person to describe the inferior function in a good way.
Usually I hear it described as out weakness and the one we need to try out hardest to avoid leaning on or it will usually cause failure.
Saya bukan introver.ibu ku.terimakasih video nya ya pak sukses selalu psikologi pendidikan nya. good morning.
Well I start with this. ..
Great video. I know my mbti is Intj-t.
Introvert 100℅ , but
Initiative is 55℅ and 45℅ sensing this a troublesome for me.
I know I can't be 100℅ intj type but these two function getting half on both worries me too much. So a take more 10 test from different website but still It INTJ.
The biggest problem I came know as an INTJ is
" I KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE BUT I DON'T HAVE A LOT OF FRIENDS".
currently i have one friend who is enfp . But i kinda ignoring him soo much. It's not that i don't want any friend, but being around them make me think like deceiving them. Because I am not the person they think I am.
If you can understand share your thoughts🤔💭.
Howdy hi hi,
I understand that my response is a couple months after your post so please forgive in that. I only just now read this. I don't know about you, but everytime I read or listen to explanations of cognitive stacks I only come away feeling confused and unenlightened. Like you I am also an INTJ and honestly this video just felt like it was a sales pitch rather than an examination or explanation of anything.
A couple of years ago I read an idea that the difference between introverts and extroverts comes down to relative sensitivity levels to acetylcholine on the introversion side and dopamine on the extroversion side. This got me thinking that perhaps this is true all the way down the line. And the more I examine this the more correct it seems to me.
To demonstrate what I've come up with so far on this front please be so kind as to do a short exercise on a piece of paper. First draw a vertical line down the middle of the page. Don't worry, this won't get too complicated. Next on the left hand side write the letters intj also vertically. and to the right of the line ESFP. In the top left corner write the word cognitive, and in the top right hand corner social. If it helps, you can also draw horizontal lines under each of the four letters.
First off understand that no matter where you test out this simply puts your sensitivity level to the associated neurotransmitters at a particular point. The further left along this line the more you favor or are rather rewarded biochemically when using that particular style. Be it, intuition or sensing. Etc. Now to make this all seem super simple..
Introvert-extrovert---ENERGY
Intuitive-sensing---ASSESSMENT
Thinking-feeling---PROCESSING
Judging-Prospecting---EVALUATION
The top line introversion/extroversion is just the way in which we recharge our batteries, Or how we feel more energized. The remaining three are specifically how we approach problem solving.
Intuition or sensing describes our approach to data gathering.do we rely on our experience, competency, and memories (intuition) or do we turn to a more social approach asking questions and involving others in this process.
Thinking versus feeling is our processing line. It is how we come up with ideas to potentially solve the problem being addressed. Thinking is naturally the more cognitive of the two.
Finally we have judging versus prospecting. Evaluation--Judging simply means that we rely upon our own sense of the world to ask does the idea I came up with in processing work? Whereas Prospecting involves getting the input of others to make this determination.
As far as assertive/turbulent goes, I have to admit I'm not sure as I have a really good answer for this one. Aside from perhaps saying that it impacts how likely a person it to act upon the idea they came up with in the processing stage and approved in the evaluation stage. But take this one with a grain of salt and perhaps iterate on this yourself.
While you won't come up with the specific language utilized by the cognitive stack system. In general you'll see how these run parallel and say essentially the same thing. I for one find this way of thinking about personality much easier to remember, far less complicated, and far less reliant upon taking an author's word for it concerning what a function does and does not do.
I wouldn't worry about testing near the midline on the assessment stage. It only means that your are roughly a bit more comfortable/rewarded for relying upon your own memories and experience but are also open to the more social element of asking questions of witnesses as a source of information.
Many people associate personality with being equal to the level of intellect a person displays. This is categorically false. The reason why more cognitive functions tend to appear more intelligent has to do with how quickly each of the processing can run their course. Intuitive, and judging are by far the faster processes. But surprisingly feeling is a far faster than thinking. As such, INFJ are also regarded as tending to be among the smartest among us. But as we compare this to the INTJ we are far more likely to have ideas that work the first time. Whereas the INFJ will simply run through many scenarios until arriving at the same answer. Albert Einstein is said to have been and INFJ.
While this is quite a bit to read in a social media post. I hope I've made things far clearer in the long run.
Howdy hi hi,
I'm sorry, but this whole cognitive stack subject just seems way over complicated to me. They say genius isn't about making something that seems simply look complicated. But rather to take what looks complicated as make it simple.
A couple of years ago I read an idea that the difference between introverts and extroverts comes down to relative sensitivity levels to acetylcholine on the introversion side and dopamine on the extroversion side. And by this I mean that this natural tendency can be understood as what feels better to us as individuals. This got me thinking that perhaps this is true all the way down the line. And the more I examine this the more correct it seems to me. No I have not specifically identifies what other neurotransmitters align with each designation. But I'm certain they exist which is exactly why we have pairings such as adrenaline-noradrenaline Counterparts associated with specific emotional states. I.E. in this case fight or flight.

3:58 lol
It wasn't always like these list, some intj in some situation just leave without any sign and won't even fix thing that wasn't really complex at all.
