living life as an INTJ in the US (can't attest to other countries) is like living life as an involuntary villain. especially if you're female and even more especially if you had a traumatic childhood. people will either love you or hate you, but more often will hate you and will go out of their way to make your life a living hell, and ultimately ruin your life directly and/or indirectly. so yeah, wonderful experience all around.
It really is a weird feeling when you have felt like no one understands you and then find out that you fit the textbook definition of this personality type. Whoever designed these groups clearly knew what they were doing.
Literally like I felt my whole life like people just don’t understand than boom they do understand sort of I just needed to be put in a personality group
As an INTJ, I hate it when people think I’m shy or “try to bring me out of my shell”, it’s almost as if society sees being quiet and shy as synonymous with each other which is very false. If I’m minding my business please don’t talk to me. I’ve notice that as an INTJ I attract people at times when I don’t want to, like when I’m alone on my phone at work for example. Also small talk pisses me off. I work retail and it’s trash. Not staying at that job for long because I fake laugh at a good 90% of my customers jokes and not to mention the small talk is aggravating as hell.
YES. exactly the same with me, i understand and relate to you completely. i HATE small talk and especially in situations like that. especially when i’m minding my own business, doing something where I CLEARLY do not want to be bothered and then people gather around me like a flock and try to have a conversation and so i’m like 😄👹👺.
I think the people around me at work have just accepted that I won’t laugh at everything they say or just to “be nice”. If they speak to me, telling me something that I can tell they find humorous, I’ll give a small polite smile, then continue with my tasks. The trick is to give answers that are as short and vague as possible. That makes people uncomfortable and then, soon enough, you’ve trained them to stay away from you… mostly. I do not hate people, but I hate being AROUND people, and speaking to them? I do not exaggerate when I say I avoid it AT ALL COSTS. I only speak when it absolutely, 100%, cannot be avoided.
As an INTP, I always find small talk irritating as hell. Also most people due to ignorance think that being shy and hating people are synonymous with each other, whilst they couldn’t be further from the truth. For starters, there are many extroverts who are shy; and many introverts like myself whom are not shy. I also don’t hate people, only that the vast majority of them are boring.
i try to avoid conversations but sometimes people come to my desk at school and ask me why i sit at my desk for the whole recess and draw. Than i say that i enjoy it and get back to whatever i was doing. After that, they call me shy, introverted, and depressed. I ignore them, than they don’t leave me alone. JUST LEAVE ME ALONE I WOULD RATHER SPEND MY TIME DRAWING THAN TO START THE DUMBEST ARGUMENT WITH THE DUMBEST PERSON EVER
5:29 As an INTJ myself, this is very true. Just because you are older/higher in position than me, doesn't make you 'superior' automatically than I am. If you want my respect, earn it.
@@LordPepe-jh5dt You did the right thing bae! Hell yeah, Respect goes both ways. And just because you're "older" or "more superior" it doesn't mean I will let you treat me like shit and treat you good. The way you treat me sets an example on how I should treat you. Kudos for standing up for yourself!!
I’m an INTJ, and I struggle with dealing with the incompetence of others. It gets in the way of my relationships sometimes and it’s good to try and be strict on myself, and forgiving with others, as what they do is outside of my control. I prefer to spend my time alone, expanding my knowledge, and this helps me keep improving.
As an INTJ I really agreed with the video and one of the things I hate is when one of my plans doesn't go as expected or my routine is interrupted, it's a feeling that leaves me in a bad mood.
I have many of these traits but doesnt mean i am intj. People want to fit in in a category so much. I scored intj all the time and yet the definition changes depending on who says it.
The problem for me (an INTJ) is that I need to have things done this way but feel miserable when I don't, which sadly happens a lot. I would also comment on "doing things efficiently", many times I can be such a perfectionist that I begin to do unnecessary stuff to make something I care about the best way as possible which consumes a lot of time and energy thus creating tasks I am not able to fulfil.
So true, like when i need to do a project I always make it so much more complicated than my classmates, and as a result of that I make it way too hard to finish or to present my project.🥲😂
Same here. I've gotten so caught up in perfectionism that nothing gets done. Sometimes the details of a project get dragged out wear me out. It beats doubling back and doing things twice.
INTJ Here, wow. I thought this was gonna be one of those "relatable" videos that just said some things that EVERYONE can relate to, but no. This was really accurate. Well done. Edit: Christ almighty this blew up, glad i related to alot of you guys!
I'm an intj University student. I stopped going to lectures because I feel like the lecturers can't teach me something that I can't learn by myself. So I really resonated with the independence part of the video. I have actually found that I get much higher grades when I teach myself. It might also be because I was taught in a homeschooling setting and thus I had to be independent and manage my time efficiently. Now I genuinely cannot stand going to lectures I find them mind numbing especially if lecture slides are provided before hand..
OMG. I skipped my mandatory freshman conference-after-lecture class in college and still did better in the class than most of the people that liked to hear themselves speak
100%. I didn’t attend tutorials as they’re a waste of time. I’ll figure it out myself, no need to sit around and listen to people who “don’t get it”- that’s a you problem, not a me pr. I attended midterm and final for at least 60% of my classes. Then I discovered distance ed. in fourth year. Happiest I’d been in years- zero people to contend with, work independently, as quickly as I want. Jackpot! I found university to be a massive waste of time; a trained monkey can do it.
As an INTJ, I see the world as it should be and when it is not, I get annoyed and irritated. I am often surprised at how few people can see what I consider self evident.
The ethics one is the finest detail I'd say, being an INTJ Tho we generally hate following rules that are given to us , we have the NEED to follow our own ethics in a disciplined manner.
Hi intjs. Infp here 😊 just learning personality typology now. I always loved different personalities but never heard of mbti until recently. All the connections ive made now from my interests to my fears it all makes sense. As an infp i also suffer from overwhelming environment. Im a mum and the noise and lights can cook me, also if im bombarded with too much info dumping or multitasking. Getting better at it but i have my sanctuary to renergize. Also very independent and strive to do things on my own😊
I just did the test and I'm an INTJ, it made me understand a lot on how I function. Basic things like overanalyzing everything, being freaking stressed when I have a lot to do and no plan to achieve the work, laziness when I don't like something or when I'm not stimulated enough at school, etc. Thanks for the video
This makes sense, I've had a lot of people tell me I "won't make a lot of friends" or that I'm "too harsh" but honestly, I get fed up with inefficient people quickly and if someone's failure consistently costs me my success, I don't really want to be friends with them.
Especially hit with that part about enjoying quiet but natural places. I absolutely love just going on walks, I can think allI want but I also get the mental stimulation of a constantly changing background and noises so I never get bored during it
As an Intj, I do have a good amount of empathy, or at least I try my best to do so. The problem is that not everyone nowadays does and thus go off of present-nows instead of thinking how this will effect the things around them. No one wants to listen anymore and I see that as the major downfall in everything, thus why I try to get myself in an area of respect so others are more willing to listen: people will not listen to those they seem less to them but they will to those they follow, or that is what they see it as.
INTJ here, this video is very accurate. One thing I really hate is when someone wants to ask me for a favor and they start beating around the bush, just get to the point
Same here. If they tell me what they need I can get it, or say no if I cant. They don't need to bullshit for an hour, and make my head hurt guessing what they want.
@@qua7771 It's usually extroverts, extroverting all over you. Why get to the point when you can tell someone a long story about yourself and waste their time?
@@darthlaurel I try to reserve time for them after things are done, but they prefer to extrovert randomly. I'm learning that they think that they are bringing us back to reality by giving us a since of community. Essentially, this is their way of avoiding independence, and leaning on each-other for everything even when it could easily be avoided. They think being dependent is helping somehow. It's bizarre.
Dealing with the autopilot feeling at work is such a challenge. Almost every job I've held has lead to this and I start to feel trapped. Doing the same thing over and over again is torchure. I start to feel like I'm not living up to my capabilities.
What I do is find ways to keep my mind engaged. Over the summer I had a job servicing defibrillators, and managed to hit record numbers by changing the order of the process and by using things like a second battery to allow me to do two things at once. After you reach that stage where the rules coalesce and telescope into one act - an art - look for ways to make it harder without effecting performance. In my case, I tried memorizing the defibrillator ID, and then date, and then battery date, to grow in some way (my memory in this case). Just keep pushing yourself, but try to not be too hard on yourself. Otherwise you fall into a habit of worrying about anything that MIGHT be counterproductive/ineffective.
Thank you. You wrote exactly what I was thinking. I think it may have been intentional. Knowing it would make us nuts, we would have to comment thus driving the algorithm.
I think I got so annoyed of people thinking I’m unemotional or rude that sometimes I just put on politeness in front of others so I don’t have to deal with their comments on my outward appearance. When I get to be around someone I truly trust I don’t put on the polite act and just let myself frown and relax cause I know they know I’m not mad.
INTJ here and am I the only one that has been slowly making a mental database that in effect turns people into a group of variables. Mainly behavioral variables. I try to keep in account emotions and it has been surprisingly helpful in my social skills because I can have a bunch of pre-planned responses for each type of person.
I am never bored as I am curious about everything. The more I know the better my insights. I love meeting new people because I always learn something new and interesting. People are storehouses of interesting experiences.
As an INTJ personality, I like to see a video about the dark side of the personality. I had this big group of friends. I hung around with about 20 people. There was a person I really thought was a friend. I was very surprised when he betrayed me. Usually I can tell when's someone not really your friend and I usually avoid them. I did not overreact. Just move on with life. I was like screw it. But then that person who betrayed me started attacking my other friends because they were my friends. This crossed a line for me. Then I retelled. Not violently, I just whispered in people's ears and allowed the seed to grow. Manipulating people allowing them to believe that the idea was their own. I did not directly tell people what to do. I just simply said watch him do this. Then when he did it in front of them. Because they were paying attention to it, they came up with their own conclusion. Of course, I told them what I thought. But I let the thought grow in their own head. No one is this person's friend in my town they hated his guts. No one really knows what I did, nor do I ever need to take the responsibility or take credit for it. I don't need to win a popularity contest. I know people I know what they're going to do before they know they're going to do something, and I allowed for this to work in my favor. Has this happened to any other INTJ ???
The old " give them all the rope to hang themselves with" trick. Yeah. It's a classic Go To tactic along with viral marketing techniques to spread an idea. Works just about every time. For more fun but subtle techniques I'd suggest y'all look up some counter intelligence techniques books. That way you can use them if the need arises and more importantly so you'll recognize when some high functioning sociopath, psychopath, or malignant narcissist is running one of those plays against you or someone you care about.
Well played. Once, I casually warned one of my enemies that I don’t tolerate bull crap from other people and that I will get physical if needed. I said this in front of my group of friends on purpose knowing that this guy would aggravate me again in front of them. (He liked to show off). He finally did and I got physical as promised. I did get in trouble with a few people except those that heard me say what I said. They defended me by saying, “Well, he did say that he retaliates and the guy should’ve taken that as a warning.” In the end, I got back at my enemy, made a statement and kept my friends.
The difficult part is hard to socialize I do a lot of good stuff and often appreciated in my job. But the problem is i feel no one with me and i am alone in the journey
As an INTJ, I was skeptical at first thinking, "well, this is gonna be one of those videos taking advantage of the Barnum effect to attract people and falsely relate to them." How the turntables, was I wrong! Specially with the quote, "respect must be gained." Well done. Great video!
No. 3 si actually what I often answer when asked what is my weakness on job interviews. Only found out I'm an INTJ recently and now that actually made sense
This is so accurate, i am an INTJ and i completely relate to everything. Thank you for making this video, especially because it's so accurate, you've got my respect and interest.
this is one of the mostly accurate intj videos that it made me feel 'read'.. a really really rare one from many videos that tries(and fails) to explain intj.. plus the comment section is golden
Now I see why ENFPs and INTJs fit together that well. The INTJ works quite fine where the ENFP fails and the other way around even though they could have the same thought at the same moment. And they share some things. I'm ENFP and one of the few things that would enrage me are inefficiency and incompetence. I may have more patience when people are in a position in which I don't expect them to know of the things in front of them, but if they are in a position in which they should know what to do and I'm facing plain incompetence and inefficieny, my blood starts boiling quite fast while being overly sarcastic and direct. I even understand the "hate to work on autopilot". I need challenges, I love knowledge. Independency is also a big thing for me, but I want to achieve it with someone together, since I absolutely love to see others succeed, too. I love lone strolls through woods and fields, too, even though I enjoy having people around me most times.
No wonder me an INTJ who gets attracted to every enfp's I meet and get along so well with them. ENFPs are the only people who understand my INTJs thoughts and behaviour!
as a double introverted intj, its hard to show empathy or any sense of care for other people thoughts or feelings, i simplify disaprove what they say with facts and logic and becasue their feelings are incorrect to the reality they get mad at me for not accepting those false feelings, i simpily run on reality, not what you "feel"
I did personality test couple of times at different times and still got INTJ, to be honest sometimes I feel overwhelmed and think if I truly have INTJ personality since most people addressing them as "quiet, cold and smart" and that is why I'm here trying to learn more about myself through these videos.
I'm so focused on my goals, it feels like I'm not living the present. I'm living for the future, for when my goals will be achieved and I could just enjoy life
I am an intj girl. That's right., I just am different and I think I am different too. And also I am always in my head. Like thinking about something that I don't like..
INTJ here. I can become overstimulated and it can cause anxiety but somethings that I love to do are listen to LOUD ASS MUSIC. it brings me out of my head and I can focus on what I'm doing rather than being stuck in my head.
I almost never ask for help. Not in the office, not with friends, not with family. I have to deal with my shit on my own. I also don’t wanna bother ppl with my problems.
I’m 36 and did the test few days ago. Never knew anything about personality types. Got INTJ and felt bit scared and on same time relieved. Scared because of the descriptions fitting me perfectly (how few questions can tell me me exactly how I am) relieved because I know now that there is nothing wrong with me. I’ve been diagnosing myself all my life thinking that I have some sort of autism or something. Always felt different. Now I know I’m not alone.
I find out today that I'm supposed a INTJ and a lot of sh*it in my life start make sense to me. I've been struggling negatively with myself because I thought I was so weird. That's why I failed so many times and thought I was a failure. I like to create plans and turn them into methods for myself, but I found this strange. I could study things, turn them into methods, and sell. Looks good, right? I always had problems with my parents and I understood why. They are the "it will work, just believe me, just starts, God decides" type. I hate being around people like that. How do you fuc* know it works if you don't even has a base where you can think correctly??? Don't make sense. I thought those people was full crazy and life a big injustice. Why did I fail when those people achieved success? Looks like, I need to adapt to myself now. I'm not a failure! * And stop with this "it will works" without a good base.
Omg someone recently told me to smile, why do i look so serious, why dont you talk. Its the most annoying thing and I've heard it my whole life. I'm not some dancing monkey here for your entertainment. But one thing i have learned to do as an INTJ is find people who demonstrate competency and trust them since i sort of have to as a people manager.
I’ve been critisizing myself so much for being such a weird person. I never realize those “weird thoughts” are actually parts of an INTJ’s traits... OMGG
TBH, what’s so surprisingly true about this video is that I have always worked my way through things top down or what some may call introverted intuition, or root cause analysis.
Even if I'm lonely all my life, I don't care. I learned to be independent a long time ago, and there are many things, interests, languages, and random things that I can study without getting bored.
This is interesting. I started reading a couple of years about the INTJ type and it just made perfect sense to me - it was an epiphany to me to understand more about how I operate. I then did a few tests and I came out as INTJ which didn't surprise me as I had already felt an affinity with the type. It helps me to understand how I think and how to operate and the strengths and weaknesses I have and how I have always felt different from most other people (although not as different as an INTJ female who is even more rare!)
As an INTJ who grew up home schooled in a family of 8... I do, in fact, absolutely, NOT need a plan. We would literally make things up as we go and that was that. Because I was home schooled if we wanted/needed to go somewhere we left "as soon as we were ready" at any time of the day. Day trips and mini-vacations were like that too. Dad comes home from work and decides "time for a bike ride" or we finish our homework in the morning and mom decides "Oh? well...who wants to go to the park!". Do I like having a plan? Yes. Do I hate it when the plan is derailed? Also yes. But I do not need a plan, I am a very go-with-the-flow INTJ *so long as a plan has not already been established.*
I'm INTJ. I don't really like to go through the topics like "INTJ are like this or that,..." because I kinda get the feeling that I am disrupted by their definitions and thoughts about INTJ. Coz there can also be the things that I'm actually not. So those kind of videos with the topics I mentioned before make me think of me as another person and doubtful about me being myself. But curiosity~~~ But I do can relate the things in this video really well. I really like it. ^^
My own overly detailed oriented expectations, and want to be perfect, can sometimes even piss myself off. A group work, that's torturing others and especially myself. Farewell😂
I thought that i am the weird one. My husband always told me so. Sometimes i show no emotion. I hate when my someone blabbering on trivial matter or emotional one. Just look at the logical and reasonable method men! And i dont give respect to people based on their seniority or superiority. But now I realize INTJ is my personality. Yes, the rare INTJ women. Thank you for your video. Done subscribed.
I honestly don’t relate as much to the feeling misunderstood part that much because I have an INTJ father as well and we have an identical sense of humor and think similarly. I’m lucky, there are a few things though, like our inner world is different, we have different ways of accomplishing a problem, but they are always the most efficient ways we can think of. I just finished it, the autopilot description was astoundingly accurate.
Man, this is so relatable. I left 2 jobs literally because the manager and the colleagues were absolutely incompetent. Not even because they were stupid, but they just refused to put in the effort. Or when management is one decision away from setting up a structured work environment with everyone knowing their roles, but instead they just talk about how it should be done, but don’t do it, as if waiting for some magic to happen or for someone else to create the thing they want. It’s extremely frustrating. I can’t even say that I know everything, but everyone’s just so unserious and careless.
All correct. One point, I'll elaborate on. I prefer to work alone, but do well in a team setting. If my boss isn't competent, I'm heading home. If he/she is hard on me, they'd better be intelligent. If i don't see smarts or leadership qualities, I'm taking charge or quiting. Sorry, not sorry. Oh, did i mention? I have ADHD as well.
My ex-step mom thought I had a type of autism that makes it difficult for me to feel and display emotions or feel empathy for others. But I’m just a INTJ lol.
Yes to everything. Except, I COULD complete my work tasks quicker, but I have to strategically stall and time my tasks in order to make it last till the last hour, cause I need money. 😑
I bounce back and forth between introverted and extroverted. But definitely an intuitive, thinker, judger. Biggest advice I can give is to not take life so seriously.
I'm an INTJ, but I think that I lucked out with the way I turned out. I have a lot more patience compared to most INTJs. I accepted that perfection is a concept that does not truly exist, and I learned never to have expectations for anything positive. This may sound bad or unlucky to others, but not to me. Thanks to this, I have a strong sense of realism. I can change up the plan during a change in a situation, meaning that I can be easily flexible. I have blocked out all possible chances for an emotional decision. I can maintain a face that will provide me with connections to people who are helpful to me and my future. I can easily not get attached to anyone, not get hurt by their words, not get caught up with the emotional drama. I can accept turning in work that isn't perfect. I can take a slower pace. Finally, I have a better feeling of independence. I'm alone, and that might sound bad, but it's heavenly! Sure, I live with other people, and I'm constantly interacting with people during my days, but I'm alone. It's only me, myself, and I. It's like I'm playing a decision based game. I can see a tree of possible consequences, and even when I don't, I can still change my initial plan when needed and still end up at my initial outcome. It's sort of freeing in a way. I'm not winning the game of life, most likely, but I'm playing my own game in my own way. And it's fun. Anyways, that's my railing done. Seeya
@@PsychologyRefresh sometimes i just ignore them or just pretent that i doesn't bother me, but it became harder with family coz they wanted me to be like other women but won't understand that i'm different
I didn't believe before in this personality types but when it showed itself how useful it is I tried to take a test. I am INTJ so I thought what is so special that I am rare. And when I saw this video it's all coming together from these facts to my experience. About predicting future is surely true for me. I am a guy who doesn't like that much teamwork and likes to ask myself questions and being alone to refresh my mind. Others thought being alone is bad for me but I see it like peacful time with myself.
Very relatable and logical it sums my life up pretty well I hate incompetence and ineffiecncy and especially laziness but in my life I am unstructured and quite lazy I hate laziness but I end up being a bit lazy its hard to explain I do things lazy and then end up efficient it's weird but it works I think the word I'm looking for is methodical
@@heibai1173 yea and sometimes I experience brain fog and progressive over load it's an issue I think I might have a mental illness or brain damage and I have high levels of stress even tho I'm extermly confident that's also weird
@@Jack_howard_mayer I alphabetize things, draw, or organize my hard drives to calm down. Except, then when I go to sleep, I dream about all of my folders and I am forced to sort things in my dreams! Alas, not even in sleep does my mind find repose.

I tell you, people would get so confused when I tell them that I’m energized, and I have a lot of things to do, and absolutely exhausted when I have nothing to do. I’m a workaholic, and I crave intellectual stimulation… But I absolutely shun overt social interaction. I’ve been this way for as long as I can remember, even since a child.
Wowwwww you nailed it with the career and the incompetent bosses!!! Nightmare-ish career in corporate… what a waste of my time and talent. My first reaction at my first job: ‘huhhh do people gat paid this much to do this little’ 😂. Should have been a huge red flag for me.
Man, being an INTJ was terrible for school until college… so many small town teachers on power trips did not earn the respect of a future chemical engineer🤦♂️ there were a few that were truly intelligent, and I was the favorite student in those classes. Was sent to the office too often in all the others lol. Still got all A’s though 🤷♂️ engineering profs on the other hand, there were maybe 2 in my whole career I didn’t respect in some way. No problem with authority, the authority just has to be right🤷♂️
I always tested as INTP in my 20s, now testing as INTJ. I think that it seems like I grew up a little bit, and that's the difference. I am more focused on being good at work.
usaf told me i'm an intj around 20 as part of my security clearance, and told me it's very rare. i've been told that twice since by counselors. i agree with everything you said. we're a tough lot.
Yep. You pegged me. I must confess I abandoned the 'meticulous planning' years ago as 'inefficient'. So many wasted calories on planning only for shite to happen...like world-wide covid shutdown.
I'm an INTJ and I almost burst laughing when I heard about the incompetency. I have complained out loud using the word incompetency. "Can they just quit being incompetent and inefficient?!" -Me.
Totally disagree with the need for detailed plans. The INTJ has the overarching big picture that may span decades and is constantly gathering data on which to make the next step, but this is a dynamic process of making each step intentional. Being tied to a fixed plan would drive an INTJ crazy. Indeed they are often happy calculating the next step and moving on without the tedium of actually having to implement it. As you said, INTJ's are focused on the future. A plan is just a part of the past that hasn't happened yet.

8 Weird Habits Of An INTJ Personality Type
th-cam.com/video/lUwr79X56BY/w-d-xo.html
Relatable, as an INTJ the work that I hate the most is group work because people are incompetent
Good to hear!
Word.
exactly, and the worst part is we end up doing nearly all of the work and they still get the credit from the teacher
Same 😂
I can relate to that. Some of my group mates are quite incompetent, so I ended up finishing the project all by myself.
living life as an INTJ in the US (can't attest to other countries) is like living life as an involuntary villain. especially if you're female and even more especially if you had a traumatic childhood. people will either love you or hate you, but more often will hate you and will go out of their way to make your life a living hell, and ultimately ruin your life directly and/or indirectly. so yeah, wonderful experience all around.
why? it might be because of jealousy ? Entjs are also hated
It really is a weird feeling when you have felt like no one understands you and then find out that you fit the textbook definition of this personality type. Whoever designed these groups clearly knew what they were doing.
Meyers-Briggs
Literally like I felt my whole life like people just don’t understand than boom they do understand sort of I just needed to be put in a personality group
yeah
As an INTJ, I hate it when people think I’m shy or “try to bring me out of my shell”, it’s almost as if society sees being quiet and shy as synonymous with each other which is very false. If I’m minding my business please don’t talk to me. I’ve notice that as an INTJ I attract people at times when I don’t want to, like when I’m alone on my phone at work for example. Also small talk pisses me off. I work retail and it’s trash. Not staying at that job for long because I fake laugh at a good 90% of my customers jokes and not to mention the small talk is aggravating as hell.
Thanks for sharing! Check out our INTJs playlist ---> bit.ly/3vUtV2A
YES. exactly the same with me, i understand and relate to you completely. i HATE small talk and especially in situations like that. especially when i’m minding my own business, doing something where I CLEARLY do not want to be bothered and then people gather around me like a flock and try to have a conversation and so i’m like 😄👹👺.
I think the people around me at work have just accepted that I won’t laugh at everything they say or just to “be nice”. If they speak to me, telling me something that I can tell they find humorous, I’ll give a small polite smile, then continue with my tasks.
The trick is to give answers that are as short and vague as possible. That makes people uncomfortable and then, soon enough, you’ve trained them to stay away from you… mostly.
I do not hate people, but I hate being AROUND people, and speaking to them? I do not exaggerate when I say I avoid it AT ALL COSTS. I only speak when it absolutely, 100%, cannot be avoided.
As an INTP, I always find small talk irritating as hell. Also most people due to ignorance think that being shy and hating people are synonymous with each other, whilst they couldn’t be further from the truth. For starters, there are many extroverts who are shy; and many introverts like myself whom are not shy. I also don’t hate people, only that the vast majority of them are boring.
i try to avoid conversations but sometimes people come to my desk at school and ask me why i sit at my desk for the whole recess and draw. Than i say that i enjoy it and get back to whatever i was doing. After that, they call me shy, introverted, and depressed. I ignore them, than they don’t leave me alone. JUST LEAVE ME ALONE I WOULD RATHER SPEND MY TIME DRAWING THAN TO START THE DUMBEST ARGUMENT WITH THE DUMBEST PERSON EVER
5:29 As an INTJ myself, this is very true. Just because you are older/higher in position than me, doesn't make you 'superior' automatically than I am. If you want my respect, earn it.
@@LordPepe-jh5dt You did the right thing bae! Hell yeah, Respect goes both ways. And just because you're "older" or "more superior" it doesn't mean I will let you treat me like shit and treat you good. The way you treat me sets an example on how I should treat you. Kudos for standing up for yourself!!
Love you. Never ever lose that attitude.
I have left several jobs because my boss made poor business decisions and I cannot respect a “superior” who is dumber than I am.
Exactly. @@BBMc107
I mean it does but ok Intjs aren't the smartest and that's apparent from this comment
I’m an INTJ, and I struggle with dealing with the incompetence of others. It gets in the way of my relationships sometimes and it’s good to try and be strict on myself, and forgiving with others, as what they do is outside of my control. I prefer to spend my time alone, expanding my knowledge, and this helps me keep improving.
You are better off assuming incompetence and corruption due to humans being human, and be pleasantly surprised when not.
What a Chad.
Keep low expectations for others and plan accordingly
I'm only upset when there's no improvements at all while I'm helping them in a concise way , encouraging and complimenting them at the time
Yes. "Lead, follow, or get out of the way"
As an INTJ I really agreed with the video and one of the things I hate is when one of my plans doesn't go as expected or my routine is interrupted, it's a feeling that leaves me in a bad mood.
I have many of these traits but doesnt mean i am intj.
People want to fit in in a category so much.
I scored intj all the time and yet the definition changes depending on who says it.
The problem for me (an INTJ) is that I need to have things done this way but feel miserable when I don't, which sadly happens a lot. I would also comment on "doing things efficiently", many times I can be such a perfectionist that I begin to do unnecessary stuff to make something I care about the best way as possible which consumes a lot of time and energy thus creating tasks I am not able to fulfil.

Oh my, that is so true. I am doing that a lot and it is very easy to reach a burnout stage with this "system".
So true, like when i need to do a project I always make it so much more complicated than my classmates, and as a result of that I make it way too hard to finish or to present my project.🥲😂
OMG!
same here,
I always want perfection, but because of stress I can't achieve a little and this makes me very frustrated.
Same here. I've gotten so caught up in perfectionism that nothing gets done. Sometimes the details of a project get dragged out wear me out. It beats doubling back and doing things twice.
INTJ Here, wow. I thought this was gonna be one of those "relatable" videos that just said some things that EVERYONE can relate to, but no. This was really accurate. Well done.

Perhaps you'd be interested in this thing called "horoscopes". Fucking stupid.
Agreed 100%
how the fuck did this blow up
Fr-
I'm an intj University student. I stopped going to lectures because I feel like the lecturers can't teach me something that I can't learn by myself. So I really resonated with the independence part of the video. I have actually found that I get much higher grades when I teach myself. It might also be because I was taught in a homeschooling setting and thus I had to be independent and manage my time efficiently. Now I genuinely cannot stand going to lectures I find them mind numbing especially if lecture slides are provided before hand..
This was me after COVID 😭😭 I despised the fact I didn’t choose a virtual college.
OMG. I skipped my mandatory freshman conference-after-lecture class in college and still did better in the class than most of the people that liked to hear themselves speak
100%. I didn’t attend tutorials as they’re a waste of time. I’ll figure it out myself, no need to sit around and listen to people who “don’t get it”- that’s a you problem, not a me pr. I attended midterm and final for at least 60% of my classes. Then I discovered distance ed. in fourth year. Happiest I’d been in years- zero people to contend with, work independently, as quickly as I want. Jackpot!
I found university to be a massive waste of time; a trained monkey can do it.
As an INTJ, I see the world as it should be and when it is not, I get annoyed and irritated. I am often surprised at how few people can see what I consider self evident.
Thanks for sharing!
Oh my god exactly. I feel like the world was built and is ran by idiots for idiots. Which actually has some truth to it lol.
@@SzaboDTamas-ki4wulook around- you are not wrong.
All my life I've been misunderstood and and now I finally found my people.

The ethics one is the finest detail I'd say, being an INTJ
Tho we generally hate following rules that are given to us , we have the NEED to follow our own ethics in a disciplined manner.
100% TRUE
Hi intjs. Infp here 😊 just learning personality typology now. I always loved different personalities but never heard of mbti until recently. All the connections ive made now from my interests to my fears it all makes sense. As an infp i also suffer from overwhelming environment. Im a mum and the noise and lights can cook me, also if im bombarded with too much info dumping or multitasking. Getting better at it but i have my sanctuary to renergize. Also very independent and strive to do things on my own😊
I just did the test and I'm an INTJ, it made me understand a lot on how I function. Basic things like overanalyzing everything, being freaking stressed when I have a lot to do and no plan to achieve the work, laziness when I don't like something or when I'm not stimulated enough at school, etc. Thanks for the video
Being an INTJ I’ve never seen something that I can relate to this much and in a way it’s really comforting🙂
;)
I can relate to 95%. Have never seen such an accurate video like this one.
Thank you so much! Check if these weird habits also apply to you ---> th-cam.com/video/lUwr79X56BY/w-d-xo.html
This makes sense, I've had a lot of people tell me I "won't make a lot of friends" or that I'm "too harsh" but honestly, I get fed up with inefficient people quickly and if someone's failure consistently costs me my success, I don't really want to be friends with them.
Thank you for bringing up your perspective!

Thanks! Check if your weird habits would be accurate as well ---> th-cam.com/video/lUwr79X56BY/w-d-xo.html
I know right
Especially hit with that part about enjoying quiet but natural places. I absolutely love just going on walks, I can think allI want but I also get the mental stimulation of a constantly changing background and noises so I never get bored during it
As an Intj, I do have a good amount of empathy, or at least I try my best to do so. The problem is that not everyone nowadays does and thus go off of present-nows instead of thinking how this will effect the things around them. No one wants to listen anymore and I see that as the major downfall in everything, thus why I try to get myself in an area of respect so others are more willing to listen: people will not listen to those they seem less to them but they will to those they follow, or that is what they see it as.
I HATE SMALL TALK OR POINTLESS CHATTER
I have a coworker that's generally pleasant but talks too much or unnecessarily
People ask why I’m mad at them for doing some things differently, when actually im annoyed that its so inefficient
Thank you for bringing up your perspective!
INTJ here, this video is very accurate.
One thing I really hate is when someone wants to ask me for a favor and they start beating around the bush, just get to the point
Thank you!
I totally hate people wasting my time.
Same here.
If they tell me what they need I can get it, or say no if I cant. They don't need to bullshit for an hour, and make my head hurt guessing what they want.
@@qua7771 It's usually extroverts, extroverting all over you. Why get to the point when you can tell someone a long story about yourself and waste their time?
@@darthlaurel I try to reserve time for them after things are done, but they prefer to extrovert randomly. I'm learning that they think that they are bringing us back to reality by giving us a since of community. Essentially, this is their way of avoiding independence, and leaning on each-other for everything even when it could easily be avoided. They think being dependent is helping somehow. It's bizarre.
Dealing with the autopilot feeling at work is such a challenge. Almost every job I've held has lead to this and I start to feel trapped. Doing the same thing over and over again is torchure. I start to feel like I'm not living up to my capabilities.
Thanks for sharing this!
ikr routines make me go crazy
I literally changed my career because of that
Because of this feeling I'm now travelling to the United States to learn a new job, I am from Brazil and this will be a challenge!
What I do is find ways to keep my mind engaged. Over the summer I had a job servicing defibrillators, and managed to hit record numbers by changing the order of the process and by using things like a second battery to allow me to do two things at once. After you reach that stage where the rules coalesce and telescope into one act - an art - look for ways to make it harder without effecting performance. In my case, I tried memorizing the defibrillator ID, and then date, and then battery date, to grow in some way (my memory in this case). Just keep pushing yourself, but try to not be too hard on yourself. Otherwise you fall into a habit of worrying about anything that MIGHT be counterproductive/ineffective.
As an INTJ, the misspelling of "authority" at 5:15 makes me insane. Fitting that it's in the "they despise incompetency" chapter.
Thank you. You wrote exactly what I was thinking. I think it may have been intentional. Knowing it would make us nuts, we would have to comment thus driving the algorithm.
I think I got so annoyed of people thinking I’m unemotional or rude that sometimes I just put on politeness in front of others so I don’t have to deal with their comments on my outward appearance. When I get to be around someone I truly trust I don’t put on the polite act and just let myself frown and relax cause I know they know I’m not mad.
Takes too much energy.
@@anon-tk1zg sure it gives me a headache and I get exhausted, but it gets better with time. Also, dealing with conflict takes more energy.
When I took the test ,i actually knew Nothing about my personality and when i dug in i found how much it represented me!

As a intj female, i can relate 😌💙
INTJ here and am I the only one that has been slowly making a mental database that in effect turns people into a group of variables. Mainly behavioral variables. I try to keep in account emotions and it has been surprisingly helpful in my social skills because I can have a bunch of pre-planned responses for each type of person.
Gotcha! This video can be helpful for you ----> th-cam.com/video/fIaPnIjwz0M/w-d-xo.html
I am never bored as I am curious about everything. The more I know the better my insights. I love meeting new people because I always learn something new and interesting. People are storehouses of interesting experiences.
As an INTJ personality, I like to see a video about the dark side of the personality.
I had this big group of friends. I hung around with about 20 people. There was a person I really thought was a friend. I was very surprised when he betrayed me. Usually I can tell when's someone not really your friend and I usually avoid them. I did not overreact. Just move on with life. I was like screw it.
But then that person who betrayed me started attacking my other friends because they were my friends.
This crossed a line for me. Then I retelled. Not violently, I just whispered in people's ears and allowed the seed to grow. Manipulating people allowing them to believe that the idea was their own. I did not directly tell people what to do. I just simply said watch him do this. Then when he did it in front of them. Because they were paying attention to it, they came up with their own conclusion. Of course, I told them what I thought. But I let the thought grow in their own head.
No one is this person's friend in my town they hated his guts.
No one really knows what I did, nor do I ever need to take the responsibility or take credit for it. I don't need to win a popularity contest.
I know people I know what they're going to do before they know they're going to do something, and I allowed for this to work in my favor.
Has this happened to any other INTJ ???
Thanks for sharing this!
We're good at allowing enemies to get caught in their own web. That's for sure. I think it comes with intuition. We know their next move.
The old " give them all the rope to hang themselves with" trick. Yeah. It's a classic Go To tactic along with viral marketing techniques to spread an idea. Works just about every time. For more fun but subtle techniques I'd suggest y'all look up some counter intelligence techniques books. That way you can use them if the need arises and more importantly so you'll recognize when some high functioning sociopath, psychopath, or malignant narcissist is running one of those plays against you or someone you care about.
Well played. Once, I casually warned one of my enemies that I don’t tolerate bull crap from other people and that I will get physical if needed. I said this in front of my group of friends on purpose knowing that this guy would aggravate me again in front of them. (He liked to show off). He finally did and I got physical as promised. I did get in trouble with a few people except those that heard me say what I said. They defended me by saying, “Well, he did say that he retaliates and the guy should’ve taken that as a warning.” In the end, I got back at my enemy, made a statement and kept my friends.

this is one of the mostly accurate intj videos that it made me feel 'read'.. a really really rare one from many videos that tries(and fails) to explain intj..
plus the comment section is golden
Thank you so much!
Now I see why ENFPs and INTJs fit together that well. The INTJ works quite fine where the ENFP fails and the other way around even though they could have the same thought at the same moment. And they share some things. I'm ENFP and one of the few things that would enrage me are inefficiency and incompetence. I may have more patience when people are in a position in which I don't expect them to know of the things in front of them, but if they are in a position in which they should know what to do and I'm facing plain incompetence and inefficieny, my blood starts boiling quite fast while being overly sarcastic and direct. I even understand the "hate to work on autopilot". I need challenges, I love knowledge. Independency is also a big thing for me, but I want to achieve it with someone together, since I absolutely love to see others succeed, too.
I love lone strolls through woods and fields, too, even though I enjoy having people around me most times.
Great comment!
No wonder me an INTJ who gets attracted to every enfp's I meet and get along so well with them. ENFPs are the only people who understand my INTJs thoughts and behaviour!
as a double introverted intj, its hard to show empathy or any sense of care for other people thoughts or feelings, i simplify disaprove what they say with facts and logic and becasue their feelings are incorrect to the reality they get mad at me for not accepting those false feelings, i simpily run on reality, not what you "feel"
As an INTJ, I hate the act of people who claim to be INTJ whilst they aren't 😂
I did personality test couple of times at different times and still got INTJ, to be honest sometimes I feel overwhelmed and think if I truly have INTJ personality since most people addressing them as "quiet, cold and smart" and that is why I'm here trying to learn more about myself through these videos.
True
I'm so focused on my goals, it feels like I'm not living the present. I'm living for the future, for when my goals will be achieved and I could just enjoy life
I am an intj girl. That's right., I just am different and I think I am different too. And also I am always in my head. Like thinking about something that I don't like..

INTJ here. I can become overstimulated and it can cause anxiety but somethings that I love to do are listen to LOUD ASS MUSIC. it brings me out of my head and I can focus on what I'm doing rather than being stuck in my head.
Thank you for bringing up your perspective!
The incompetency part is spot on. I hate incompetent authorities, especially the ones that lie their asses off.
;)
I almost never ask for help. Not in the office, not with friends, not with family. I have to deal with my shit on my own. I also don’t wanna bother ppl with my problems.
I’m 36 and did the test few days ago. Never knew anything about personality types. Got INTJ and felt bit scared and on same time relieved. Scared because of the descriptions fitting me perfectly (how few questions can tell me me exactly how I am) relieved because I know now that there is nothing wrong with me. I’ve been diagnosing myself all my life thinking that I have some sort of autism or something. Always felt different. Now I know I’m not alone.
I find out today that I'm supposed a INTJ and a lot of sh*it in my life start make sense to me.
I've been struggling negatively with myself because I thought I was so weird. That's why I failed so many times and thought I was a failure.
I like to create plans and turn them into methods for myself, but I found this strange. I could study things, turn them into methods, and sell. Looks good, right?
I always had problems with my parents and I understood why. They are the "it will work, just believe me, just starts, God decides" type.
I hate being around people like that.
How do you fuc* know it works if you don't even has a base where you can think correctly??? Don't make sense. I thought those people was full crazy and life a big injustice. Why did I fail when those people achieved success?
Looks like, I need to adapt to myself now.
I'm not a failure!
* And stop with this "it will works" without a good base.
Thanks for sharing!
I´m an INTJ, and I felt related to all of them
Omg someone recently told me to smile, why do i look so serious, why dont you talk. Its the most annoying thing and I've heard it my whole life. I'm not some dancing monkey here for your entertainment.
But one thing i have learned to do as an INTJ is find people who demonstrate competency and trust them since i sort of have to as a people manager.
I’ve been critisizing myself so much for being such a weird person. I never realize those “weird thoughts” are actually parts of an INTJ’s traits... OMGG
This video is accurate. But reading all the comments, makes me feel not alone to be an INTJ.
Perfect!
TBH, what’s so surprisingly true about this video is that I have always worked my way through things top down or what some may call introverted intuition, or root cause analysis.
This is a great trait!
As an INTJ i can relate very much.

Even if I'm lonely all my life, I don't care. I learned to be independent a long time ago, and there are many things, interests, languages, and random things that I can study without getting bored.
True. Everytime I start working my goal is how to learn and do the work in half of its required time.
This describes me perfectly.
This is interesting. I started reading a couple of years about the INTJ type and it just made perfect sense to me - it was an epiphany to me to understand more about how I operate. I then did a few tests and I came out as INTJ which didn't surprise me as I had already felt an affinity with the type. It helps me to understand how I think and how to operate and the strengths and weaknesses I have and how I have always felt different from most other people (although not as different as an INTJ female who is even more rare!)
Thank you for bringing up your perspective!
As an INTJ who grew up home schooled in a family of 8...
I do, in fact, absolutely, NOT need a plan. We would literally make things up as we go and that was that. Because I was home schooled if we wanted/needed to go somewhere we left "as soon as we were ready" at any time of the day. Day trips and mini-vacations were like that too. Dad comes home from work and decides "time for a bike ride" or we finish our homework in the morning and mom decides "Oh? well...who wants to go to the park!".
Do I like having a plan? Yes. Do I hate it when the plan is derailed? Also yes. But I do not need a plan, I am a very go-with-the-flow INTJ *so long as a plan has not already been established.*
Thank you for bringing up your perspective!
I'm INTJ. I don't really like to go through the topics like "INTJ are like this or that,..." because I kinda get the feeling that I am disrupted by their definitions and thoughts about INTJ. Coz there can also be the things that I'm actually not. So those kind of videos with the topics I mentioned before make me think of me as another person and doubtful about me being myself. But curiosity~~~
But I do can relate the things in this video really well. I really like it. ^^
My own overly detailed oriented expectations, and want to be perfect, can sometimes even piss myself off. A group work, that's torturing others and especially myself. Farewell😂
I thought that i am the weird one. My husband always told me so. Sometimes i show no emotion. I hate when my someone blabbering on trivial matter or emotional one. Just look at the logical and reasonable method men! And i dont give respect to people based on their seniority or superiority. But now I realize INTJ is my personality. Yes, the rare INTJ women.

I honestly don’t relate as much to the feeling misunderstood part that much because I have an INTJ father as well and we have an identical sense of humor and think similarly. I’m lucky, there are a few things though, like our inner world is different, we have different ways of accomplishing a problem, but they are always the most efficient ways we can think of. I just finished it, the autopilot description was astoundingly accurate.
Interesting approach!
I have a twin with the same personality type too!
Man, this is so relatable. I left 2 jobs literally because the manager and the colleagues were absolutely incompetent. Not even because they were stupid, but they just refused to put in the effort. Or when management is one decision away from setting up a structured work environment with everyone knowing their roles, but instead they just talk about how it should be done, but don’t do it, as if waiting for some magic to happen or for someone else to create the thing they want. It’s extremely frustrating. I can’t even say that I know everything, but everyone’s just so unserious and careless.
My motto that my wife now has adopted is “backups for backups”. Everything I do has to have a second and third option by design.
Great motto!
All correct. One point, I'll elaborate on. I prefer to work alone, but do well in a team setting. If my boss isn't competent, I'm heading home. If he/she is hard on me, they'd better be intelligent. If i don't see smarts or leadership qualities, I'm taking charge or quiting. Sorry, not sorry. Oh, did i mention? I have ADHD as well.
My ex-step mom thought I had a type of autism that makes it difficult for me to feel and display emotions or feel empathy for others. But I’m just a INTJ lol.
Yes to everything. Except, I COULD complete my work tasks quicker, but I have to strategically stall and time my tasks in order to make it last till the last hour, cause I need money. 😑
Thank you for bringing up your perspective!
I’m an INTJ but as a strong intuitive I do end up “going with the flow” at times when I logically decide to follow my intuition.
I bounce back and forth between introverted and extroverted. But definitely an intuitive, thinker, judger. Biggest advice I can give is to not take life so seriously.
I'm an INTJ, but I think that I lucked out with the way I turned out. I have a lot more patience compared to most INTJs. I accepted that perfection is a concept that does not truly exist, and I learned never to have expectations for anything positive. This may sound bad or unlucky to others, but not to me. Thanks to this, I have a strong sense of realism. I can change up the plan during a change in a situation, meaning that I can be easily flexible. I have blocked out all possible chances for an emotional decision. I can maintain a face that will provide me with connections to people who are helpful to me and my future. I can easily not get attached to anyone, not get hurt by their words, not get caught up with the emotional drama. I can accept turning in work that isn't perfect. I can take a slower pace. Finally, I have a better feeling of independence. I'm alone, and that might sound bad, but it's heavenly! Sure, I live with other people, and I'm constantly interacting with people during my days, but I'm alone. It's only me, myself, and I. It's like I'm playing a decision based game. I can see a tree of possible consequences, and even when I don't, I can still change my initial plan when needed and still end up at my initial outcome. It's sort of freeing in a way. I'm not winning the game of life, most likely, but I'm playing my own game in my own way. And it's fun.
Anyways, that's my railing done. Seeya

usaf told me i'm an intj around 20 as part of my security clearance, and told me it's very rare. i've been told that twice since by counselors. i agree with everything you said. we're a tough lot.
Does anyone else when they have too much task just to think of all the step they have to do make them stop ?
I'd often burst out on inefficiencies and would rather not work than do something like it😅
Yep. You pegged me.
I must confess I abandoned the 'meticulous planning' years ago as 'inefficient'. So many wasted calories on planning only for shite to happen...like world-wide covid shutdown.
Now everything else regarding INTJ’s are spot on
:)
I'm an INTJ and I almost burst laughing when I heard about the incompetency. I have complained out loud using the word incompetency. "Can they just quit being incompetent and inefficient?!" -Me.
Wow I can relate to the whole points. Now I kind of feel like I've become a typical intj 🤣
Okay!
as a intj i can say this video is highly accurate
i definitely hate running on autopilot
Thanks for sharing! Check our INTJs playlist!
Totally disagree with the need for detailed plans. The INTJ has the overarching big picture that may span decades and is constantly gathering data on which to make the next step, but this is a dynamic process of making each step intentional. Being tied to a fixed plan would drive an INTJ crazy. Indeed they are often happy calculating the next step and moving on without the tedium of actually having to implement it. As you said, INTJ's are focused on the future. A plan is just a part of the past that hasn't happened yet.
