"I would actually be a great supervillain if it weren't for the fact that I have zero desire to completely dominate a world inhabited by abject morons..." -INTJ
It's not so much the fact that abject morons inhabit the world (they'll do that either way, and chances are they'll be more scared to annoy you if you're a supervillain). The real problem is that some forms of power -- the political kind, chiefly -- require us to _pander_ to the morons, which is of course intolerable.
@@gdusbejdjdjhdNah. See, it's too frustrating and too much trouble to have to explain over and over again how things are supposed to be done. This here is a classic example. Now multiply it by about 8 billion people.
As an INTJ, I'm always on an intelligence limbo where I think I'm either the smartest person amongst x group of people or the dumbest person who ever existed in the same group.
The sad truth is that INTJ are so very right with most of their thoughts and arguments but society rather listens to other types who bullshit them all day long. - said by an INTP
Mine was always: “am I really the smartest person in this room?.. I’m not really smart.” Then I go into several doom and gloom loops to see how bad things are gonna get.
Its sad to see people developing unhealthy coping mechanisms for their low self-esteem (aka:labeling yourself as an sigma intj mastermind to feel superior)
I was thinking the same thing. -Fellow ENTP We would have so much more fun together if INTJs would be more open and honest. At least with us... I found that great.
@imadsrr Depends on your audience. When I was a young man I said everything that crossed my mind. Made some enemies... made some friends. But It would not be hard to be wiser than I was back then... you can pick your audience better than I did.
We INTJs and ISTJs have such sarcastic inner monologues we have to restrain ourselves. There's a reason we don't talk much! I wonder if this is the start of a new series? Would be fun to see more of these for different personalities.
If you wanna see the thoughts of an ENTP... watch any video of a young ENTP. I had no problem saying stuff just like that as a kid. Hence why we are famous for the words "Your too sensitive" or "Can you not take a joke." I am going to show the INTJs in my life that video and encourage this kinda openness even at me. It will make my life much more entertaining.
@@johnknight9150 I don't say it, but it does appear on many memes. I have roasted people... then roasted them for getting so offended... then got them to kinda miss being roasted because I was funny while I did it. But that doesn't translate well to a meme.
As an INTJ I can confidently say that if you can stand me constantly talking about all the things I hate and how stupid they are, then you're in the running for best friend
Count me as the exact opposite. To be in the running for someone I will even want to talk to (much less my best friend) you have to be willing and able to listen to me talk about the things I'm interested in. I have to constantly hold back from talking about what I'm currently fascinated with (and therefore immersed in).
@@liveinagreenhouse INTJs aren't blunt all the time is why. I don't know why the video gave these people that impression. Might have to take the test again. INTJ are more expressive WHEN the topic is fascinating, and are blunt when it suits the requirements but can be bad at times at communicating it out without showing signs of controlling things. All these other satires on what an INTJ is and other INTJ, or those who think they are, try to express, shows why INTJ's the most strict group. Everyone wants to be the rare personality type until they're put to the fire. INTJs want control, yes, but this also means control of the perception of what those misunderstand what INTJs are. Every personality trait has a toxic side. Heck, Even Homelander is more of the commonly-known-to-be positive personas, yet he's one of the most villanous characters to exist on film.
My biggest annoyance as an INTJ right now was bread mostly from the pandemic. Facetime and video chatting.....WTF do you need to see my face to talk to me? Just call and leave a message. We were having such a great lockdown until everyone decided we needed to talk AND look at each other at the same time.
I once had an INTJ teacher and “please stop talking” is literally what he said out loud to a student and our other teacher had to tell him that you can’t say that 😂
I'm pretty sure he's already being polite; there are a thousand other phrases that he has discarded in his mind in favour of that one. And I'm saying this as someone who's at the border between INTJ and INTP.
Actually, I have trained my mum (without her knowledge) to be able to distinguish between "I am glaring at you because you displease me" and "I am deep in thought or intently listening to you and just happen to be staring". Naturally, I did *not* train her to distinguish between the latter and "I find what you are saying thoroughly uninteresting and am thinking about something totally unrelated". I'm not sure how I would survive if she learned that secret.
As an INFJ, it’s like I have a radar for picking up on that last part - probably because I do it too😅 I just smile more often than an INTJ during those moments (probably bc of my fe wanting the person to feel heard🙃)
@@Heliorhodonite Thank you for the nightmare fuel that I will definitely not be overthinking in every future interaction with her. That said, if she knows and doesn't alter the course of her monologue as a result of knowing... That might be even scarier, actually.
My wife is an INTJ, and I love her to death specifically because I get to hear these thoughts often and find them endearing and hilarious. I share in many of them as well. I'm an ISTJ by the way.
@@BJovanovic1987 I cannot vouch for everyone, but my wife and I have been together 6 years and I find her as magical today as I always did. As with any pairing, there are trade-offs that each person has to accept. But I share her attraction to planning, procedures, and practicality, and she appreciates my organization and preparation for the worst-case situation. We fit very well together.
One of the fun things about working with a bunch of XXTJs is that the IXTJs are comfortable actually voicing all their pithy commentary with no shame. I have heard all but two of these statements out loud during my time in the military. And yes, INTJs are comedic geniuses. I bring up their past arguments just to hear their devastating comebacks. -ENFP
As an INTJ, a lot of these were incredibly accurate. There are far more instances in which I do not speak, instead of speaking, as I’ve calculated the utility derived from speaking is insufficient to justify the costs. Most of the time, my time is better spent thinking and working, often in quiet, and in solitude. Due to this calculation, when I do speak to others, it tends to be well thought out, and as a consequence the interactions I do have tend to be positive, and I present myself in a way some people find impressive, and others intimidating.
This! If I’ve determined that speaking something out loud is going to cost me in the long run, I’m probably going to choose silence, most. especially if I like you! Unfortunately that silence means sometimes they think you’re mad at them.
Exactly. The problem with that of course is when an INTJ does choose to speak, they tend to be correct. Which leads everyone else to begin treating them like a "smart ass know it all." When the reality is you're far from a know-it-all because when you don't know, you don't speak at all.
0:40 reminds me of when I worked in IT. Oftentimes people would say such and such a process is easy, and that would confuse me because I thought it was complicated. It took me a while to realize that when people say a process is easy they are thinking of the sunny day scenario when everything goes right. whereas I am concerned with the hundred different ways it could go wrong.
Yes! I also work in IT. But I have always worked in smaller companies where the leadership consists of non-IT people. So in my case the problem is that they don't know what they are talking about at all! But at the same time they always know better and don't want to listen to the actual IT people. They have no understanding of the extreme complexities of IT. To them it's just boxes and cables, and a setup.exe that you click through and that's it. 🤦♂️
I have that same mindset [doh!]. Sure, it would be brilliant if it just worked but: you're looking at the process and you see how many things are going wrong that should have been a walk in the park in YOUR view of the world. However: we keep configuring the printer and no matter how perfectly we set them up the activation server rejects them being added to the pool, the Wifi connection drops after 5 meters and whatever we try, it just won't connect. Other than that, and the fact that you're going to do it all over again tomorrow, you keep having this happy-go-lucky attitude that tomorrow, notwithstanding the evidence before your eyes today, it'll all work out fine. I find myself more and more unable to refrain from sneering at all the people going through the same stuff every day. The truth is that we can't set up stable, safe and secure environments anymore, we have to patch and keep on patching and testing and retesting. I'm sick of it, I've seen far too many error messages in my life, it's not funny anymore.

You forgot the completely exasperated and condescending deep sigh that screams "I don't have the time, patience, nor nearly enough crayons to make you understand".
OMG! I was recently assigned an assistant at work so drafted a training document of the problem I needed him to design and dev the solution to, alternatives that had to be solved for, decisions to address, etc. Spent a few hours over a few days going over it with side-by-side monitors with the document in 1 and showing him the data and components in the other. Basically walked him verbally through the entire solution, all he had to do was htk the solution. It wasn't difficult, it was just time-consuming and I had higher priority work to do. Scheduled progress checks with specific expectations for him to demo at each check-in. Get to first 1 and he's done nothing because he didn't understand the assignment. Tried to walk through the 'training' but using different words, analogies, and examples. Finally got so frustrated I blurted out I didn't know what else to do or say. I'd used all the ways to explain it and he still didn't understand. So I gave him 2 days to flow chart the design and that actually worked. There were several wrong steps or actions/decisions in the wrong place but it helped to at least get something down on 'paper' so I could see what he did and didn't understand. But geez, I used the whole box of 64 with that guy.
As an INTJ, I can confirm all of these were spot on! My favourite though has to be: "Please don't procreate!" Pretty much sums up the after thoughts of most interactions with people nicely! 😂
@@floydblandston108 Not necessarily. Being stuck in a world full of dimwits and imbeciles can very well take a toll on one's mental health. Attrition is a thing after all. As a result I can understand that questioning. But at the same time those few people who stand out from the ...intellectually challenged crowd are precisely those who show us that hope is not entirely lost yet - and are subsequently cherished as such.
I'm INTJ and I actually say these things. I say many of them to my boyfriend especially the first one (he's ENFJ). He gets me and I love him dearly. For those who truly understand the INTJ, these remarks will not be rude or foreign to them. This is hilarious
"Why does no one gets my humor, I'm a comedic genius" This hits home. Upon reflection, I realized that the only people that complimented my humor are my ENTJ dad and other INTJ friends. Rip
There's something to be said for knowing your audience. Humor is subjective, and if you want people to laugh at your jokes then you'll have to say things they think are funny. I'm guessing you don't care which in that case I wouldn't be surprised that they didn't laugh.
I think I let this paralyse me and I'm not even achieving as much as I thought I would. Then again I am sick, and I keep hurting myself trying to pretend I'm not sick and just be normal. Being sick does not suit my personality.
I can't believe how many times I wanted the other person to shut up. Of course, I'm never gonna say it, because the possibility of going through the negative response (+ even longer rant) from that person after telling them to shut up is going to be 100x more painful.
As an INTJ, I'm impressed with how accurate these thoughts are 🤣 So many thoughts I want to bring forth, but unfortunately, I must be "nice" even to those who definitely don't deserve it.
I hear you. But at the same time the frequency of such thoughts also puts into perspective how much of an outlier a given person is with whom we do NOT have such thoughts and instead have engaging conversations, right? I am lucky enough to have a handful of such individuals as friends and acquaintances, and I cherish each of them accordingly.
As an INTJ, I feel every one of these. Also, I'd like to add "If you want me to get toothpaste, you need to tell me exactly which brand and type" and "You want me to get 'some' onions? How many is some? I need numbers here." You can't plan with vague instructions.
Spot on. I'll get you anything you want but: BE SPECIFIC! I went for bread, because buying a loaf of bread was asked for. Then I got yelled at because the unspoken understanding was that I had to buy two loaves of bread. I should have known that, you see. They shouldn't have to tell me that, it's obvious they meant two loaves of bread.
As an INTJ, I can absolutely affirm 100% that interacting with the rest of society is an absolutely exhausting experience. From the second I exit my door in the morning, to the second I return, I can literally feel my energy draining from my brain and soul.
These are so spot on for me with a couple of exceptions. I am less annoyed that people don't follow my smart plan, than I am forced to follow other people's dumb plans.
I'm going to say it: I would LOVE to go out one evening with a female INTJ and have a very long conversation with her. It would need to be understood that she's free to say anything she wants to, to not take offense at anything I say for fear I'm attacking her [I would not be] and I would also make sure she doesn't feel uncomfortable. It would be an entirely safe encounter. I would love to meet a mind like that one time. /Also, I'm old-school, I'll be more than happy to pay for the date so long as there would not be any hangups over the cost of things. Maybe it would work out, maybe it wouldn't. I would enjoy the occasion and it is fervently hoped she would have enjoyed herself as well.
No matter how stereotyped or satiric (as the description says) this is supposed to be, I have never felt a more accurate description of my day-to-day thoughts. Recently, I've begun to express my thoughts more, and the mannerisms and everything, just...it was on point.
Well, INTJs and ESFPs share the same cognitive functions, just in a different order. They really aren't the exact opposites like the letters would suggest.
Opposites attract, I bet she’s madly in love with one now. But nobody knows Kristen has a little crazy in her and it scares him away. Her INTJ is spent disaster planning all his life and when Kristen enters his life it’s like the consolidation of disasters that tends to bleed into every disaster plan. An inevitable horizon event. It’s kind of a cute love story if you ask me.
It's true, the INTP is smarter and has a better work ethic. Only problem is they are also so silent it feels like I am being manipulative just getting them to voice it. I have realized as an INTJ, I feel like the smartest person in the room because extroverts prefer small talk which isn't intellectual.
True enough...I think the same thoughts, though the older I get, the more fleeting these thoughts become since I've accepted the inherent truth about all of them.
Well, there is the problem of needing a certain population level to maintain technological capability. I'd be fine not advancing, but failing to accomplish mining for ores that result in making modernity possible like pipes for flushing toilets seems like a bad trajectory for humanity. Lack of procreation of non-INTJs would fail to maintain critical mass in a generation. The lost knowledge in the trades would result in a serious struggle to recover.
Exactly! It's a common misunderstanding that we're narcissistic arrogant "holier than tough" types. I don't want the spotlight and praise. I don't think I'm a genius. I don't want to be better than everyone, I want everyone to be better!
Spot on! As a INTJ myself I am afraid I have actually said several things just like that to co-workers and managers, as I never been reluctant to speak up and never had much a filter on my thoughts before they came out in speech and writing. Several managers have had ”serious talks” with me about how I sometimes actually scare co-workers. They always understood I never did it out of malice and it therefore never resulted in any ”disciplinary actions”, but I figured it was best for me to ”retire early” anyway. As an INTJ, I thrieve alone with my cat anyway.
I knew there was another young lady that thinks exactly like my daughter!!! The posture, hair, facial expressions, comedic delivery. My daughter says to me all the time " Mom no one will get me when you are gone" 🤣😂🤣😂🤣 You are a sweetheart!❤
@1:01: "Why would I listen to your feelings when I could just give myself 1,000 paper cuts and pour salt and lemon juice into them? Seems more productive." 🤣🤣🤣
So INTJ's are basically the little voice in my head after I've sat through 8 hours of statistics lectures and lost all hope for myself and humanity - ENTP
In my head I say, pretty often "I remember that conversation. Word for word. Here is what was said..." Quoting people in the military pissed people off, but it also made people leave me alone. Win.
I'm an ESTJ and think like an INTJ when it comes to school. 1. It surprises me that people go to college with no plan 2. I was one of the smartest people in my class which is not a good sign because I'm not THAT smart. 3. I think a traditional school system is inefficient and homeschooling is a better fit for some people. 4. Kids should be taught to think for themselves in school but they're often not. Occasionally (not very often) my college professors would say things that were clearly wrong and the other students would just take it in without thinking about it.
Totally relatable! ❤ Im an INTJ and I never thought I was extraordinarily smart. I thought I was average and it just frustrated me when others weren't even that. Because "stupidity" leads to problems, and problems lead to suffering. And I hate to suffer. And because I have empathy (believe it or not 😅) and a huge sense of justice, I also don't want other innocent people to suffer for no good reason. So I "hate" stupid people. They seem like egoistic careless sadists to me.
As an INFJ who works very closely with an INTJ, I literally know when they’re having these thoughts. Consequently, I’ve grown to become their fave in the office. 😄
You've asked me an extremely vague question that requires me to go into the origin story of like five different concepts, so either we don't talk about it, or you pull up a chair for three hours. How is this so true!
The “humanity is going to burn” is me. Another one is “we’re all slowly dying as we speak;we don’t know when it’s going to happen but we’re constantly inching closer and closer with each passing second” when discussing death.
The only thing stopping us from being Super Villians is the lack of good costumes and the high rents for extremely large hideouts in metropolitan cities.
I'm married to an ISTJ and my daughter is an INTP. I can see similarities with both of them. Now I'm an ENTJ, and I usually say out loud what you're thinking. It's a miracle I'm married at all.
"You are easily manipulated by ego boosts" LMFAO... You gonna tell me how Disney Princess's would react too? I just saw a personality test that'll match you to a Disney Princess, and that was as useful in real life as the Briggs 😂😂
I am an INTP, usually chill, but when I am grumpy I have so many of these thoughts….starting to think that maybe I have an INTJ Gremlin living inside of my brain…..as perhaps…do we all…..O-o 🤯 PS: Except tbh when my particular INTJ gremlin manifests itself, it does not leave me sitting there thinking that I am particularly smart, so much as wishing that people were significantly more enthusiastic about using their brains. 😑🚩 Like…I truly believe they could…if they just….tried……
I'd never feel that sure of myself. Absence of self-doubt removes the incentive to keep learning. That's why we're smarter than INTJs and why we'll never make anything of it. We never stop and say "okay, I know all I need to know about this now."
@@JackyVSO Very true….and honestly I think it is quite valuable to maintain a sense of humility when it comes to acknowledging what you don’t know. Side note: For a long time that held me back from feeling I could be that confident in anything, to the degree that it absolutely did keep me from ‘making anything of it’ as you said, but over time I learned that you can cultivate enough confidence in what you *do* know to be productive with it, without sacrificing the reality that you don’t know everything. This may not be true of others, but for me what helped is learning to accept the risk that I might make a mistake or fail since I don’t have all the information…and then moving forward anyway. A degree of self-doubt is always there, but I think of that as being an asset rather than a liability. It helps you to acknowledge mistakes and to be more adaptable when you need to adjust your approach to something. It takes time, but INTP’s (like any type, really) can be quite successful when we learn to overcome our weaknesses.
@@JackyVSO This is more of a caricature or exaggeration. I can't speak for all of us, but very often I feel like the dumbest person in the room. Unless that room is full of people watching the Kardashians, then the above in the video applies. If the room were full of INTPs and ISTPs, I might feel like the dumbest person in the room again. Although when my INTP brother went down the conspiracy theory anti-vax rabbit hole.... *all of the above* applies!🤦♂
@@johnknight9150 glad to hear that. In response to the other comment as well: fortunately, we can work to overcome those flaws we might tend towards because of our personality types. And John, very sorry about my fallen INTP brother! It's a good reminder that no one is safe from conspiracy thinking. We must stand guard over our intellectual humility at all times.
@@JackyVSO Thank you for that. I think the danger of Te is dismissive arrogance and premature action, whereas Ti has the danger of the person getting trapped in faulty internal logic, without checking for external validity. Ti + cognitive biases -- especially confirmation bias -- can be a very dangerous thing.
"why can't people just listen and follow my plans just as I imagined them." I find myself frustrated at this all the friggin time. It's factually true that I produce excellent results. I have focused on one thing day and night for 5 days, going through iterative cases for the most probable path to achieve the goal, and I tell the team what to do. They go into question mode and see "issues". Then I realize that I'm going to have to recount details for 2 hours, or maybe I just keep my mouth shut.
I've had thoughts very much like several of these, even in recent days. The line at 0:21 is my favorite, because I often find myself frozen by others' questions while I'm thinking this or something similar in my mind, even today. "You've asked me an extremely vague question that requires me to go into the origin story of like five different concepts, so either we don't talk about it or you pull up a chair for three hours."
ISTP is literally the same except we gave no fs about the world. And we actually not that sarcastic, we still truthfully know we are right and others are peasants and wrong. However we procrastinate. Take decisions slowly.
As an INTJ I have to say that I am narcissistically in love with your mind in this video... Because, out of frustration, I really did say some of these punchlines to people's faces when I was younger. I have spent most of my life unaware of the MBTI. And now that I know that, not only there is a label for me, but other people who are able to think like I do actually exist, my whole mental universe has changed. About three years ago, I went from being used to be seen and treated as an anomaly by the outside world to discovering the fact that I am not the only one of my kind... Most people are still wary of me and sometimes hateful for no good reason (like I've seen in many videos about the INTJ's) but as a grown man I don't mind (It was tougher as a kid)... I am not alone and even if I never get to meet other INTJ's it's refreshing to know that those of my kind are out there. Alright, I've said enough words for the year 2023 so i'll stop here... Keep up the good work!
Bingo. This is one of the reasons why we don't have friends (or have less than 10. There are only few who can accept such savage thoughts but are clearly about the harsh reality. Because people love sugar-coated words, while we prefer unfiltered facts that can be heart shattering. We're not mean, people are just sensitive. - intj gal
I am loath to use the word narcissism here. Because Narciss was in love with an image (of himself), something that isn't real. But INTJ's have a tendency to be pretty accurate in their assessments - because they are not overmuch hampered by emotions. If they held those high opinions of themselves in spite of being wrong more often than not, then yes, you might be correct. but by all accounts that isn't the case all that often.
🤣 You pegged it. I think those exact phrases every day...... After too many years, I finally started digging into my INTJ. So glad to finally discover that there are other people in the world that are probably as smart as me. Yes, tomorrow, after thinking about this post all night, I will have thought of something clever I should have posted here. Oh well, I'll have to subscribe and try again.
As an INTJ, it’s incredibly difficult to turn off those thoughts.. I be no means think I’m better than anyone.. But, c’mon the s$!t that comes out of people mouths is asinine. And, LAWD.. don’t get me started on the countless meaningless meetings I’ve suffered through where nothing gets resolved- just a circus..
Meetings are to make sure nothing ever gets done. The last one in my life took all day and 30 people and came up with something that was obvious to anybody with a drop of common sense. Two of the people were giving each other massages during the meeting.
1:27 - I have the converse problem, where I look like I'm glaring at someone when in reality I'm in deep concentration and minding my own business. This default expression of mine has landed me in trouble with people (usually respect-obsessed authoritative figures) more often than I would've liked to happen. I mean, I do actually NOT respect those people but I wasn't expressing it at those moments, and they still took offense at my face. Literally almost lost scholarships over that. Since then I've trained myself to have only either a completely blank poker face, or a smile and nod (like what my ENFJ mom suggests).

It's not so much the fact that abject morons inhabit the world (they'll do that either way, and chances are they'll be more scared to annoy you if you're a supervillain). The real problem is that some forms of power -- the political kind, chiefly -- require us to _pander_ to the morons, which is of course intolerable.

If you wanna see the thoughts of an ENTP... watch any video of a young ENTP. I had no problem saying stuff just like that as a kid. Hence why we are famous for the words "Your too sensitive" or "Can you not take a joke." I am going to show the INTJs in my life that video and encourage this kinda openness even at me. It will make my life much more entertaining.
@@HerKnightable * You're too sensitive. You're an ENTP, you should have higher standards.
@@johnknight9150 I don't say it, but it does appear on many memes. I have roasted people... then roasted them for getting so offended... then got them to kinda miss being roasted because I was funny while I did it. But that doesn't translate well to a meme.
@@HerKnightable they were talking about your spelling. low si moment
@@Lacter12 Nice. Totally missed that. 😁
As an INTJ I can confidently say that if you can stand me constantly talking about all the things I hate and how stupid they are, then you're in the running for best friend
Agreed! - another INTJ
Agreed. Hubby being an INTP worked out well
I'd be "I know, right?", "I hate that shit too" and so on. 😊
Count me as the exact opposite. To be in the running for someone I will even want to talk to (much less my best friend) you have to be willing and able to listen to me talk about the things I'm interested in. I have to constantly hold back from talking about what I'm currently fascinated with (and therefore immersed in).
@@liveinagreenhouse INTJs aren't blunt all the time is why. I don't know why the video gave these people that impression. Might have to take the test again. INTJ are more expressive WHEN the topic is fascinating, and are blunt when it suits the requirements but can be bad at times at communicating it out without showing signs of controlling things. All these other satires on what an INTJ is and other INTJ, or those who think they are, try to express, shows why INTJ's the most strict group. Everyone wants to be the rare personality type until they're put to the fire. INTJs want control, yes, but this also means control of the perception of what those misunderstand what INTJs are. Every personality trait has a toxic side. Heck, Even Homelander is more of the commonly-known-to-be positive personas, yet he's one of the most villanous characters to exist on film.
My biggest annoyance as an INTJ right now was bread mostly from the pandemic. Facetime and video chatting.....WTF do you need to see my face to talk to me? Just call and leave a message. We were having such a great lockdown until everyone decided we needed to talk AND look at each other at the same time.
This, this right here! I resonated with this same exact thought...
Same -- INFJ
Word;)
Why do they even want to call and leave messages? Human social needs is loathsome
My phone camera 'broke' during lockdown, so I couldn't do video on calls. Sad times.
I once had an INTJ teacher and “please stop talking” is literally what he said out loud to a student and our other teacher had to tell him that you can’t say that 😂
Just to clarify it wasn’t that this student was just being loud, this was her just literally talking on about something to him
Actually, you can say that.
@@justme8108 🤣
I'm pretty sure he's already being polite; there are a thousand other phrases that he has discarded in his mind in favour of that one. And I'm saying this as someone who's at the border between INTJ and INTP.
Gold!
Actually, I have trained my mum (without her knowledge) to be able to distinguish between "I am glaring at you because you displease me" and "I am deep in thought or intently listening to you and just happen to be staring". Naturally, I did *not* train her to distinguish between the latter and "I find what you are saying thoroughly uninteresting and am thinking about something totally unrelated". I'm not sure how I would survive if she learned that secret.
Hahahaha
Secret she's most likely to know already but keeps it a secret from you.
I don't think I am an INTJ, but my family still have trouble with this, lol.
As an INFJ, it’s like I have a radar for picking up on that last part - probably because I do it too😅 I just smile more often than an INTJ during those moments (probably bc of my fe wanting the person to feel heard🙃)
@@Heliorhodonite Thank you for the nightmare fuel that I will definitely not be overthinking in every future interaction with her. That said, if she knows and doesn't alter the course of her monologue as a result of knowing... That might be even scarier, actually.
I'm an ENTJ so i am basically saying INTJ thoughts out loud
LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
INTJ here, I was wondering that throughout the whole video
Yes, seems believable.
Yeah, my ENTJ son is this way. As an ENFJ, I am either entirely connecting with him or I want to strangle him.
Make sense
"There actually just isn't enough lifespan for me to achieve my full potential." This line shook me to my core lol
It’s the other way around for me… I’m actually just in deep concentration and people think I’m death-glaring them. - Intj
No one ever knows the difference

Idk why but i would love to have someone death-glare me but actually not xD Would feel great 🤣😆 - ENFP
They often mistake either for the other.

@@BJovanovic1987 I cannot vouch for everyone, but my wife and I have been together 6 years and I find her as magical today as I always did.

@@somejoe7777 Thank you.
One of the fun things about working with a bunch of XXTJs is that the IXTJs are comfortable actually voicing all their pithy commentary with no shame. I have heard all but two of these statements out loud during my time in the military.

As an INTJ, a lot of these were incredibly accurate. There are far more instances in which I do not speak, instead of speaking, as I’ve calculated the utility derived from speaking is insufficient to justify the costs. Most of the time, my time is better spent thinking and working, often in quiet, and in solitude.
Due to this calculation, when I do speak to others, it tends to be well thought out, and as a consequence the interactions I do have tend to be positive, and I present myself in a way some people find impressive, and others intimidating.
Exactly!!!
This! If I’ve determined that speaking something out loud is going to cost me in the long run, I’m probably going to choose silence, most. especially if I like you! Unfortunately that silence means sometimes they think you’re mad at them.
I agree!
Spoken like a true INTJ.
Exactly. The problem with that of course is when an INTJ does choose to speak, they tend to be correct. Which leads everyone else to begin treating them like a "smart ass know it all." When the reality is you're far from a know-it-all because when you don't know, you don't speak at all.
0:40 reminds me of when I worked in IT. Oftentimes people would say such and such a process is easy, and that would confuse me because I thought it was complicated. It took me a while to realize that when people say a process is easy they are thinking of the sunny day scenario when everything goes right. whereas I am concerned with the hundred different ways it could go wrong.
Yes! I also work in IT. But I have always worked in smaller companies where the leadership consists of non-IT people. So in my case the problem is that they don't know what they are talking about at all! But at the same time they always know better and don't want to listen to the actual IT people. They have no understanding of the extreme complexities of IT. To them it's just boxes and cables, and a setup.exe that you click through and that's it. 🤦♂️
I have that same mindset [doh!]. Sure, it would be brilliant if it just worked but: you're looking at the process and you see how many things are going wrong that should have been a walk in the park in YOUR view of the world. However: we keep configuring the printer and no matter how perfectly we set them up the activation server rejects them being added to the pool, the Wifi connection drops after 5 meters and whatever we try, it just won't connect. Other than that, and the fact that you're going to do it all over again tomorrow, you keep having this happy-go-lucky attitude that tomorrow, notwithstanding the evidence before your eyes today, it'll all work out fine.
I find myself more and more unable to refrain from sneering at all the people going through the same stuff every day. The truth is that we can't set up stable, safe and secure environments anymore, we have to patch and keep on patching and testing and retesting. I'm sick of it, I've seen far too many error messages in my life, it's not funny anymore.

Precisely. The Devil is in the details, but most people don't want or can't spare the bandwidth to notice those. Let alone plan for them.
You forgot the completely exasperated and condescending deep sigh that screams "I don't have the time, patience, nor nearly enough crayons to make you understand".
OMG! I was recently assigned an assistant at work so drafted a training document of the problem I needed him to design and dev the solution to, alternatives that had to be solved for, decisions to address, etc. Spent a few hours over a few days going over it with side-by-side monitors with the document in 1 and showing him the data and components in the other. Basically walked him verbally through the entire solution, all he had to do was htk the solution. It wasn't difficult, it was just time-consuming and I had higher priority work to do. Scheduled progress checks with specific expectations for him to demo at each check-in. Get to first 1 and he's done nothing because he didn't understand the assignment. Tried to walk through the 'training' but using different words, analogies, and examples. Finally got so frustrated I blurted out I didn't know what else to do or say. I'd used all the ways to explain it and he still didn't understand. So I gave him 2 days to flow chart the design and that actually worked. There were several wrong steps or actions/decisions in the wrong place but it helped to at least get something down on 'paper' so I could see what he did and didn't understand. But geez, I used the whole box of 64 with that guy.
As an INTJ, I can confirm all of these were spot on!
My favourite though has to be: "Please don't procreate!"
Pretty much sums up the after thoughts of most interactions with people nicely! 😂
Unfortunately, those people almost always do.
Actually, in a state of anger, desperation, exhaustion, I would think everyone of these! Small differences and not that often because I am INFJ.
@@jameswilkerson4412 Hahahaha!

"Imagine believing what you believe. What a miserable existence" 🤣

It's like listening to my inner dialogue. I looked at a woman once and said "How do you not drown in the rain?" And then realized I said it out loud.

Don't, it's them.
@@floydblandston108 Not necessarily. Being stuck in a world full of dimwits and imbeciles can very well take a toll on one's mental health. Attrition is a thing after all. As a result I can understand that questioning. But at the same time those few people who stand out from the ...intellectually challenged crowd are precisely those who show us that hope is not entirely lost yet - and are subsequently cherished as such.
I don't question mine. I am aware I'm slowly losing my sanity.

I'm INTJ and I actually say these things. I say many of them to my boyfriend especially the first one (he's ENFJ). He gets me and I love him dearly. For those who truly understand the INTJ, these remarks will not be rude or foreign to them. This is hilarious
"Why does no one gets my humor, I'm a comedic genius" This hits home.
Upon reflection, I realized that the only people that complimented my humor are my ENTJ dad and other INTJ friends. Rip
There's something to be said for knowing your audience. Humor is subjective, and if you want people to laugh at your jokes then you'll have to say things they think are funny. I'm guessing you don't care which in that case I wouldn't be surprised that they didn't laugh.
My best friend always says that I consider myself funny is hilarious.
My INTJ friend has an effortlessly fantastic sense of humor. We INTPs appreciate you.
I wonder if other INTJs will get my humor? th-cam.com/video/dYJuklMGJMg/w-d-xo.html
"There actually just isn't enough lifespan for me to achieve my full potential" is insanely accurate. And I mourn when I'm reminded of the thought.
I think I let this paralyse me and I'm not even achieving as much as I thought I would. Then again I am sick, and I keep hurting myself trying to pretend I'm not sick and just be normal. Being sick does not suit my personality.
I can't believe how many times I wanted the other person to shut up. Of course, I'm never gonna say it, because the possibility of going through the negative response (+ even longer rant) from that person after telling them to shut up is going to be 100x more painful.
Yeah, wasted energy. It's better to just walk away without saying anything.
As an INTJ, I'm impressed with how accurate these thoughts are 🤣 So many thoughts I want to bring forth, but unfortunately, I must be "nice" even to those who definitely don't deserve it.
I hear you. But at the same time the frequency of such thoughts also puts into perspective how much of an outlier a given person is with whom we do NOT have such thoughts and instead have engaging conversations, right? I am lucky enough to have a handful of such individuals as friends and acquaintances, and I cherish each of them accordingly.
Nice is for the craven.
As an INTJ, I feel every one of these. Also, I'd like to add "If you want me to get toothpaste, you need to tell me exactly which brand and type" and "You want me to get 'some' onions? How many is some? I need numbers here." You can't plan with vague instructions.
As an INTJ I love vague instructions. They give me room to ignore them and substitute my own.
Spot on. I'll get you anything you want but: BE SPECIFIC! I went for bread, because buying a loaf of bread was asked for. Then I got yelled at because the unspoken understanding was that I had to buy two loaves of bread. I should have known that, you see. They shouldn't have to tell me that, it's obvious they meant two loaves of bread.
That is absolutely me at times! I need facts and specifications.
Bruhh true shit!
As an INTJ, I can absolutely affirm 100% that interacting with the rest of society is an absolutely exhausting experience. From the second I exit my door in the morning, to the second I return, I can literally feel my energy draining from my brain and soul.
"That comeback would have been great... Eight hours ago!" I've never felt more seen! 😂🤣
Doesnt the video say seven hours?
Ditto
Yes same!
"So many of you are so lucky I am not a murderer. Keep trying though"
These are so spot on for me with a couple of exceptions. I am less annoyed that people don't follow my smart plan, than I am forced to follow other people's dumb plans.
As a INTJ, I just witnessed my whole life in 1:30 minutes 😂
“I am astonished that Darwinism hasn’t caught up to you yet”
- INTJ
I have literally had almost every single one of these thoughts, but could not bring myself to feel guilty for any of them.
As an intj female when I do say what I’m thinking people always go “ 😮😮😮😮…what!?” 😂
😮💨 story of my life
Same sister same.
I'm going to say it: I would LOVE to go out one evening with a female INTJ and have a very long conversation with her. It would need to be understood that she's free to say anything she wants to, to not take offense at anything I say for fear I'm attacking her [I would not be] and I would also make sure she doesn't feel uncomfortable. It would be an entirely safe encounter. I would love to meet a mind like that one time.
/Also, I'm old-school, I'll be more than happy to pay for the date so long as there would not be any hangups over the cost of things.
Maybe it would work out, maybe it wouldn't. I would enjoy the occasion and it is fervently hoped she would have enjoyed herself as well.
INTJ here, before I approach people, I remember to make my face look "normal".

I have an INTJ colleague and he’s got a hilarious sense of humour. Very dark and doomsday-like humour, but hilarious.
This is NOT satire. - INTJ
As an INTJ another thing to add is
“DONT TAKE THINGS SO PERSONAL OTHER TYPES!!!!”
me as an intp who related to every single thing she said: dw
No matter how stereotyped or satiric (as the description says) this is supposed to be, I have never felt a more accurate description of my day-to-day thoughts. Recently, I've begun to express my thoughts more, and the mannerisms and everything, just...it was on point.
INFJ’s could relate to many of theses. Ni getting annoyed with everyone around them.
Its incredible how well she can understand the type that is the exact opposite of her!! - enfp :)
Well, INTJs and ESFPs share the same cognitive functions, just in a different order. They really aren't the exact opposites like the letters would suggest.
@@TL13579 i know, but they are still her least - used cognitive functions.
Opposites attract, I bet she’s madly in love with one now. But nobody knows Kristen has a little crazy in her and it scares him away. Her INTJ is spent disaster planning all his life and when Kristen enters his life it’s like the consolidation of disasters that tends to bleed into every disaster plan. An inevitable horizon event.
It’s kind of a cute love story if you ask me.

INTJ: I'm the smartest person in the room
INTP: hold my book
I think we are tied.
@@AmeliaC-e8o fair enough
ISTJ: You needed a book?
It's true, the INTP is smarter and has a better work ethic. Only problem is they are also so silent it feels like I am being manipulative just getting them to voice it. I have realized as an INTJ, I feel like the smartest person in the room because extroverts prefer small talk which isn't intellectual.
True enough...I think the same thoughts, though the older I get, the more fleeting these thoughts become since I've accepted the inherent truth about all of them.
To be fair, "Please don't procreate" is an
good piece of advice a LOT of people need to hear and follow.
Well, there is the problem of needing a certain population level to maintain technological capability. I'd be fine not advancing, but failing to accomplish mining for ores that result in making modernity possible like pipes for flushing toilets seems like a bad trajectory for humanity. Lack of procreation of non-INTJs would fail to maintain critical mass in a generation. The lost knowledge in the trades would result in a serious struggle to recover.
I swear a lot of us don't like to be the smartest person in the room. If we find someone smarter, we'll be his biggest fans. -INTJ
Exactly! It's a common misunderstanding that we're narcissistic arrogant "holier than tough" types.
I don't want the spotlight and praise. I don't think I'm a genius.
I don't want to be better than everyone, I want everyone to be better!
I'm an INTJ and can confirm this is accurate. I have had all of these thoughts. Many of them reoccur on a regular basis.
Spot on!
As a INTJ myself I am afraid I have actually said several things just like that to co-workers and managers, as I never been reluctant to speak up and never had much a filter on my thoughts before they came out in speech and writing. Several managers have had ”serious talks” with me about how I sometimes actually scare co-workers. They always understood I never did it out of malice and it therefore never resulted in any ”disciplinary actions”, but I figured it was best for me to ”retire early” anyway.
As an INTJ, I thrieve alone with my cat anyway.

I'm an ESTJ and think like an INTJ when it comes to school. 1. It surprises me that people go to college with no plan 2. I was one of the smartest people in my class which is not a good sign because I'm not THAT smart. 3. I think a traditional school system is inefficient and homeschooling is a better fit for some people. 4. Kids should be taught to think for themselves in school but they're often not. Occasionally (not very often) my college professors would say things that were clearly wrong and the other students would just take it in without thinking about it.
Totally relatable! ❤
Im an INTJ and I never thought I was extraordinarily smart. I thought I was average and it just frustrated me when others weren't even that. Because "stupidity" leads to problems, and problems lead to suffering. And I hate to suffer. And because I have empathy (believe it or not 😅) and a huge sense of justice, I also don't want other innocent people to suffer for no good reason. So I "hate" stupid people. They seem like egoistic careless sadists to me.
People are sheep.
As an INTJ, I don’t think I spend my time thinking I’m better than others, I just have many theories, and I try to come up with solutions to problems.
As an INFJ who works very closely with an INTJ, I literally know when they’re having these thoughts. Consequently, I’ve grown to become their fave in the office. 😄

"Humanity is just going to burn. It is inevitable. " and "It's such a burden being this intelligent." pretty much says it.

PS: Except tbh when my particular INTJ gremlin manifests itself, it does not leave me sitting there thinking that I am particularly smart, so much as wishing that people were significantly more enthusiastic about using their brains. 😑🚩
Like…I truly believe they could…if they just….tried……
I'd never feel that sure of myself. Absence of self-doubt removes the incentive to keep learning. That's why we're smarter than INTJs and why we'll never make anything of it. We never stop and say "okay, I know all I need to know about this now."
@@JackyVSO Very true….and honestly I think it is quite valuable to maintain a sense of humility when it comes to acknowledging what you don’t know.
Side note: For a long time that held me back from feeling I could be that confident in anything, to the degree that it absolutely did keep me from ‘making anything of it’ as you said, but over time I learned that you can cultivate enough confidence in what you *do* know to be productive with it, without sacrificing the reality that you don’t know everything.
This may not be true of others, but for me what helped is learning to accept the risk that I might make a mistake or fail since I don’t have all the information…and then moving forward anyway. A degree of self-doubt is always there, but I think of that as being an asset rather than a liability. It helps you to acknowledge mistakes and to be more adaptable when you need to adjust your approach to something.
It takes time, but INTP’s (like any type, really) can be quite successful when we learn to overcome our weaknesses.
@@JackyVSO This is more of a caricature or exaggeration. I can't speak for all of us, but very often I feel like the dumbest person in the room.

They go into question mode and see "issues". Then I realize that I'm going to have to recount details for 2 hours, or maybe I just keep my mouth shut.
I've had thoughts very much like several of these, even in recent days. The line at 0:21 is my favorite, because I often find myself frozen by others' questions while I'm thinking this or something similar in my mind, even today. "You've asked me an extremely vague question that requires me to go into the origin story of like five different concepts, so either we don't talk about it or you pull up a chair for three hours."
Just thinking about dealing with people that much, I'm gonna have to bail out for a couple days.
I’m ISTP and I used to work with an INTJ. We often had those kind of conversations about other people.
ISTP is literally the same except we gave no fs about the world. And we actually not that sarcastic, we still truthfully know we are right and others are peasants and wrong. However we procrastinate. Take decisions slowly.
As an INTJ I have to say that I am narcissistically in love with your mind in this video... Because, out of frustration, I really did say some of these punchlines to people's faces when I was younger. I have spent most of my life unaware of the MBTI. And now that I know that, not only there is a label for me, but other people who are able to think like I do actually exist, my whole mental universe has changed. About three years ago, I went from being used to be seen and treated as an anomaly by the outside world to discovering the fact that I am not the only one of my kind... Most people are still wary of me and sometimes hateful for no good reason (like I've seen in many videos about the INTJ's) but as a grown man I don't mind (It was tougher as a kid)... I am not alone and even if I never get to meet other INTJ's it's refreshing to know that those of my kind are out there. Alright, I've said enough words for the year 2023 so i'll stop here... Keep up the good work!
I don't need an INTJ to speak their thoughts. I already say these things to people's faces 😍
Yea entj basically speaks out loud everything on their thought
Then it's autism 😂
jk
1:03 so harsh and also correct
Needs a "good luck with that" somewhere.
Bingo. This is one of the reasons why we don't have friends (or have less than 10. There are only few who can accept such savage thoughts but are clearly about the harsh reality. Because people love sugar-coated words, while we prefer unfiltered facts that can be heart shattering. We're not mean, people are just sensitive. - intj gal

My INTJ typing was recently confirmed by a session with an actual MBTI professional, but really this video does as well!
Well done! Ik it’s exaggerated, but the intellectual narcissism is painfully accurate and I love it. 😁

I am loath to use the word narcissism here. Because Narciss was in love with an image (of himself), something that isn't real. But INTJ's have a tendency to be pretty accurate in their assessments - because they are not overmuch hampered by emotions. If they held those high opinions of themselves in spite of being wrong more often than not, then yes, you might be correct. but by all accounts that isn't the case all that often.

It's not that deep bro, just saying.
It's quite something when an ESFP, the literal opposite of an INTJ tries to imitate the INTJ, but you're doing a pretty good job.
🤣 You pegged it. I think those exact phrases every day...... After too many years, I finally started digging into my INTJ. So glad to finally discover that there are other people in the world that are probably as smart as me. Yes, tomorrow, after thinking about this post all night, I will have thought of something clever I should have posted here. Oh well, I'll have to subscribe and try again.
As an INTJ, it’s incredibly difficult to turn off those thoughts.. I be no means think I’m better than anyone.. But, c’mon the s$!t that comes out of people mouths is asinine. And, LAWD.. don’t get me started on the countless meaningless meetings I’ve suffered through where nothing gets resolved- just a circus..
Meetings are to make sure nothing ever gets done. The last one in my life took all day and 30 people and came up with something that was obvious to anybody with a drop of common sense. Two of the people were giving each other massages during the meeting.
These are basically the thoughts I have at every family gathering.
As an INFJ I feel a kindred spirit with the INTJ
Had all of those thoughts... here's a recurrent one "let's hope for Darwin's natural selection here..." in true mean INTJ fashion lol
For someone who is the exact opposite of this personality type, what an amazing job you did!!!
Lol, looks like this INTJ has some anger issues. I understand though, I have a hard time having patience with stupid people too.
1:27 - I have the converse problem, where I look like I'm glaring at someone when in reality I'm in deep concentration and minding my own business. This default expression of mine has landed me in trouble with people (usually respect-obsessed authoritative figures) more often than I would've liked to happen. I mean, I do actually NOT respect those people but I wasn't expressing it at those moments, and they still took offense at my face. Literally almost lost scholarships over that. Since then I've trained myself to have only either a completely blank poker face, or a smile and nod (like what my ENFJ mom suggests).
