Clicks on the video to stroke my ego.
That’s because we’re insecure
Inter lude I mean...I wouldn’t say all that lol. But words of affirmation every once in awhile are nice.
Nikki Basurto yeah it is nice because we’re insecure about not only our body, but our life too.
I'm short fat and proud of that...lol. I don't care what people think of me, that's non of my business but, I would like it if you agreed with me and thought I was a good guy... ;-)
Honestly, I get 'why are you so cold' all the time so hearing someone praise my skills instead of insult them is kinda nice
"There is no lazy INTJ"
its not laziness...its efficiency.
Work smarter not harder
I literally have this printed on a mug lol!
@Woke is a Joke, You Boomer no the mug was a gift feel free to repurpose the idea 🤣
@Woke is a Joke, You Boomer I'm sorry I misled you lol it's actually a Simpsons mug, Homer has his feet up and a wooden coocoo bobbing up and down pressing the enter key with its beak every few seconds. Thanks though!
i am lazy af and i got intj
@@ranzivkovic290 Me too
You know why INTJ’s “like” to plan? It’s because everyone else seems to suck at it and it makes INTJ’s uneasy.
Often times I will suffer due to bad planning and when I deal with that chaos, I get the strong feeling to push others aside and say, “I’m taking over the planning for the good of us all”. I don’t really have that inclination to start with. It’s the suffering from the poor planning of others that makes me become assertive. I don’t know why, but I just don’t get the itch to take the lead until the incompetence just becomes unbearable.
Bro , it's good to know that all INTJ's think like that . I also don't take the initiative in leading , but when I see the whole thing is going to fail because of poor planning , I have no other choice but to fix it .
The worst thing is when you suggest something and they ignore it and then make a bad plan that fails and then they would have to resort to your original idea as if they came up with it, but then you don't say a word or get jealous because you knew all along that that's what should have been done and you're happy it's your idea that gets implemented, albeit the lack of recognition but we don't care about recognition
I could not agree more. This is exactly how I feel. I don't take the initiative to plan because I don't want to be in a leadership position. Typically, if you're the planner, you're also the leader or one of the leaders. However, if someone's incompetence has lead to a bad plan you can bet that I will sense the need to take over.
This. I hate it when something in my life is about to go awry because of someone's else lack of planning. I can't change someone's personality, but I CAN FIX your poor planning. And I absolutely will if that option is available to me. I will stop my fun introvert time to fix your messing with my life so I can get the results I was actually expecting out of what you were supposed to be doing.
grippercrapper That’s called being turbulent, you’re certainly an INTJ-T
Maybe one thing to add, as an INTJ, I feel that we avoid confrontations and debates. (Except with the people we care about) We get tired of speaking and explaining things. Verbal communication is SLOOOOW!
I’m super agreeable and non confrontational unless it’s something I really care about, then I’m confrontational
I thrive on confrontations and debates especially if I know the person in front of me is wrong and is being intellectually dishonest on purpose,suddenly I'm on beast mode and all I think about is showing how the person is wrong.
Same here
For real in highschool there was a debate in English class which went towards the final grade. The topic was so damn boring and I just didn't wanna talk. So I ignored it. The teacher sat next to me and gave me a 2nd chance I did the same thing she got mad. This was 5 years. I only found out few days ago about this personality type. And a lot of things in my life make sense. I agree with 95% of the points made on most the things people say about ITNJ
Everyone always says we're quick to debate/disagree, but I tend to avoid conflict when possible. When I see someone isn't going to change their opinion after I presented a much more logical or straight-up factual stance, I immediately end the conversation to avoid pointless bickering. It usually results in the other person thinking they've "won". Yeah, I become rather nonresponsive to them after that...
INTJ is blunt to save energy. Doesn't necessary care about you, your position, because like himself he/she always expects to be told the hard truth and to correct for it. Nothing excites an INTJ more than something which adds to his vision, futuristic ideas, above normal stuff and solitude.
Agree exactly. Don't care for posturing, please just be honest (as long as you are being kind as well).
Preach
Still like my x’s better than my current girlfriend as they actually added to my understanding….even though current is sweet as pie, just more reserved.
I can sit in a restaurant and tell you what is being said in 2/3 different conversations around me and have absolutely no idea what the person opposite me just said.
I do this all the time without trying to.
Same same
Familiar 😆
That moment when you watch this video and she says something interesting so you start thinking about it more and more and when you stop thinking about it a bit you missed half of the video... :D
Lol. I watched thrice cause I kept doing that
All the damn time nearly on every video even tv shows
I had to pause and rewatch. I feel you. Lol.
I constantly forget that time is actually passing outside of my head.
Story of my life.
As an INTJ, sure, most of what I predict does happen. But what folks don't realize is we have to dodge the pitchforks, the angry mobs, the barn burners, and we cross bridges that get burnt, and we get to look back through the smoke and flames and yell, "See! I told you so!". We do value relationships, but not at the expense of the truth. And even though we value our principles more, it doesn't lessen the pain of destroyed relationships. We do feel sympathy, love and grief, but we don't care in so much that we are guided by that internal compass which always points north, and to follow it at all cost makes us complete. "To thine own self be true", is our motto. We are very Puritan like in spirit. And our ideals and values are the common ground on which to extend the hand of friendship, or make enemies.
Damn you nailed it. I just lost a friend because he accused me of being a jerk and doing all this terrible stuff (that in reality HE had just done to me- total projection/gaslighting) and spewed out all these very awful personal attacks (I'm an INTJ so I could deduct that he's been harboring these opinions for a long time). There were even other friends present who saw the meltdown. He cut me off and just because of that, he can never regain my trust or respect because he broke away from truth and reality. Most other types would say "well, when someone's angry they just want to vent" or something. But you can't just do that. If your reality isn't ACTUAL reality, you're just another obstacle holding the INTJ back.
this hit home. Literally I've lost home after home because relationships have burned in the torch of my truth telling. I've been despondent about this because everyone wants you to be relationship focussed. Why can't you just get along! But I won't have it. I can't live with myself if I'm sacrificing myself on the altar of Relationship and Other People's Feelings
Well said. We wouldn't have to say I told you so if people would listen to us, but some folks are closeminded/stubborn.
There are people that envy us....
Seriously?
@Vick Four
Most efficient and effective weapons are the best.
As a generally lazy INTJ, all I can say is that I'll be laziest if I'm not willing/like to do that particular task. But if I like it, I take no time getting up and planning how to do it.
Um- excuse me?
“You’ll rarely ever find a lazy INTJ...”
You sure cuz we’re probably the laziest not-lazy people you’ll ever meet.
Might be wrong about others, but I know I am.
Good point, I worked with an INTJ who made every one of his systems at work so efficient that he only had to work a couple hours a day #talent
That's very true. I get stuff done when I feel it's important to me and I'm particularly motivated, but the rest of the time, I just don't bother.
Although I finish things quickly, my impatience tends to get the best of me, and my work comes out unpolished.
Yes, me too. I retired at 41. I worked very hard to make sure I didn't have to work my entire life.
I think most people I know would agree that I'm lazy... except when I'm not.
Me too!

honestly clicked on this video half expecting it to be you...
Hello lijo I follow you and INTJ island
You are accurate when you said INTJs (at least in my case) of little details. If I'm having a conversation with someone, I have a hard time maintaining eye contact due to me looking around at other stuff. Not that I'm not paying attention to them, just looking at that bird over there, or that weird shape in the trees that I just noticed.
I noticed while I'm talking to people I will notice the car that drove by if it was interesting to me. I try to get right back to the conversation with my eyes so they don't think I'm ignoring them. But my eyes will dart from a person who just walked into the coffee shop back to the person I'm talking to and so on...
Oh this is me as well. You could say we are naturally street smart because of this. I could be talking on the sidewalk with my date, barely break eye contact and just the way a person is walking as they approach us, I can tell if they're a junkie or something and preemptively move us both a couple feet away without even looking directly at them. INTJ's are the driver's hand on the mattress on top of the car driving down the freeway. We got it, we got it...
I look away because I'm visualizing it occurring in a real space. I have to do that to remember it better. As I'm visualizing it, I usually am rapid-firing off various outcomes, causes, whatever in order to aid in understanding it better.
It is because this person was talking about some shit not about some value thing. But an great power you have is to focus when ever you want so try to use it next time if you value person you talk.
For me (INTJ) I feel like I often don't make eye contact (especially with people I know who I am not trying to make a first impression on or something) because I am more focused on the other aspects of the conversation, like the tone, direction, and motives. If something peaks my interest or was unexpected, I will often increase my eye contact significantly to gain more information, which can weird some people if they notice (they usually don't XD)
(INTJ) Yes I agree about the Se acute sensitivity to environment.I get really distracted and irritated with dogs barking,bright light shining in the bedroom window, cars idling outside, voices outside, gardeners mowing lawns, leave blowers. I will wear industrial strength ear muffs to get perfect silence in the morning. Heat makes me irritable.
S. U. What happens to some of us is that we teach ourselves tune all of that out and concentrate on one thing. To the exclusion of EVERYTHING that’s happening around us. I can get to a space inside my own head where someone else can carry on an entire conversation with me and I have no idea they are even in the room. It comes across as extreme rudeness but the reality is that in that moment, I must tune the world out in order to concentrate on a task that is in front of me or I wouldn’t ever get anything done!
S.U. That is so true for me too. Infj
Maybe INTJ can tune out easier than infj.
Yup, I understand that!
Omfg me tooo. I hate the heat and prefer a nice cool environment. And I hate noise so much, it's draining.
It's true, small talk glosses my eyes, I relax/recharge when I'm alone, and I can't read with noise or other distractions. If you make it into my small but trusted social circle, I will be there for you and protect you at all cost. I also wake up before my alarm in the morning. XD
As an INTJ I regularly have scenarios where I tell someone how something is going to go or why something will or won't work and it's completely obvious to me. They then proceed with what they were doing anyway and I'm dumbfounded. They didn't give a counter argument but just said okay, discarded my explanation and continued as if I never said anything. It ends up playing out exactly like I said it would and a lot of times they will say something like "oh, I guess..." where the rest is exactly what I said. I'm not even sure they are aware they just came to the conclusion the hard way that I tried to give them the easy way.
This has blown my mind through the years where I am thinking "how could they not see this?!" I came to the conclusion that most people just think differently than I do and my assumption that everyone, or most, or half of people, or even a sizable minority could see these things that are clear to me was just wrong. Obviously this sort of video clears up why this scenario keeps playing out.
Just curious how many INTJ's out there have the exact same experience. The frustrating thing is, no matter how well laid out the logic, people generally discard it and do what they were going to do anyway.
As an intj, it happens all the time, almost daily. I have been saying, to myself, for many years, " I hate when I'm right", because I'm basically, almost always, correct.
Quite a few of my ex's have also told me, "I hate that you're always right!!" It's a burden we carry...
As an intj too, i experience the same thing. The other characteristic of the INTJ is that we tend to get frustrated that people dont get things as easily as we do. We get frustrated that someone doesn't understand what we tell them and that people didn't see that what we predicted was right
The thing is, it's actually entertaining to see that.
Yup know how u feel. I can project events 10 years into the future. It's weird how we turn out to be right most of the time, try making money out of this power and not give it freely to people that won't value it.
I totally relate!
Yes I'm an intj and I'm distracted easily and that's why it feels good to be alone to progress on our dreams..Nice video
Me too
when im working on my stuff with others i tend to be lazy, but when im alone i tend to work like there's no tomorrow
This is so accurate! Once I was pulled on as a trainer for a new payment system rollout for a company I was working for. During the demonstration, there was an error that popped up every time they tried to run a transaction in the program, preventing the payment from going through. They had said that it will get fixed before the launch date. I raised my hand and asked if they were sure and what the plan was for fixing it, since it was the whole point of the rollout. I was pulled into a room after the conference and was informed I would be off the project because I "obviously had no real faith in it." Well, the system went live and the bug took six months to fix! It cost the company millions of dollars, customers lost faith, tons of bad press and they never regained their reputation again. LISTEN TO THE INTJs!
Thats crazy they pulled you off because you didnt trust a flawed system 😩 some people’s children
The corporate world is many things, but a meritocracy isn't one of them. The smartest person in the room is inevitably going to make you look bad so you just get rid of them. And the novelty of being able to say "I told you so" loses it's glitter after the 1000th time.
@@JellyFinch Brilliant
It is not that we don't care ! Intjs are so goal oriented and focused. We are so good at compartmentalizing and packing away our feelings and emotions. That we appear numb to others around us. Intjs feel it. we just can't let feelings and emotions get in the way of our goals. You want to see an intjs feelings and emotions expressed physically, getting in the way of what they are trying to accomplish!
The problem with a strong Ni in an environment full of strong Se people is that almost nobody understands why and no body supports that idea...
th-cam.com/video/DPLzbSyQ10U/w-d-xo.html Who Are The INTJs? and th-cam.com/video/-7eN7PRSU8A/w-d-xo.html I was wrong about the INTJ - Responding to Comments
I don't think this argument is valid because there is roughly the same percentage of SE doms (those who don't understand Ni doms) as Ne doms (those particularly well equipped to understand Ni doms) so I don't think INTJs and INFJs are isolated.
We call it Hell. Sometime i just wondering how people would feel if the world was flipped in the opposite : More Ni less Se.
hell yeah! Sometimes Se is a bit idiotic idiot, NOT PERSONAL!
completely agreee - why I was lucky to have my dad - he was a barrister and a solicitor (usually one or the other, not both.. one defends people in court - other deals with contracts, details, fine print - I wonder if he was an INTJ...) - taught me to use my words to 'build a case' - both in verbally and in writing.. and the people skills to turn my plans into reality (well _some_ of them time - when they LISTEN...)
As an INTJ, I'm only interested in topics related to Money, Power, Success, Vision, Heavy High Standards, Strategy, Bigger Picture, Deeper Relationships and Heavy Trust, etc and anything other than this, Either We just Tolerating your ass or We Done Talking!
Been there, done that!
Why stay so limited?
@@marioguelbenzu2348 It's actually painful to me read comments under INTJ videos. A lot of them cut and copy the INTJ traits from
16Personalities.com lol
The MBTI test can define our dominant cognitive functions, but obviously our personality can be vastly different... at some point people try to do everything to fit into their favourite label, it's funny.
At first I thought I was an INTJ because I can predict things using sheer logic, but then I realize 90% of my knowledge are Useless.
I really admire INTJs
-INTP
As a INTJ you will often turn to "stuff" to make your brain not to overthink. The pain not to go mental on the world is sometimes overwhelming if you cant ventilate your thoughts, if you are not in a relationship with a person that understand you. The pain and your thouths can get really dark. Suicde is not a uncommon thing for INTJ when they feel that nobody undersand how and why you thing how you think.
Been there, man. The thought process was "I can't be on this planet with all these idiots running things anymore."
Aye, and "stuff" can be (relatively) harmless or very harmful.
Personally, I like gaming. It's an effective fun distraction.
yep, surrounded by people, but no one to talk to.
Ikr, for a while I thought that I don't have an imagination or don't like thinking (which made me think that I'm faking being an INTJ). But then I realized it's bc nobody understand and I'm tired or it, overthinking sometimes too.
Very true!
I'm ducking psychic. I can "feel" when people stare at me, or feel someone enter a room without looking. I can find someone just with my mind, like location. I can read your thoughts, see what your seeking in your mind, "hear" the dialogues you are having in your head. I pick ☝ on silent conversation. I have the ability to separate myself fromthe chaos of the collective crowd, say duck it, and do my own thing, like, what everyone else figures out much later. I seem flighty, never settled, but it's just because I've figured it out and on to the next thing.
Oh, Yea, I get that!
hypersensitivity is legit.
I like how you back pedaled when you said we like to plan things, but then you said we basically do it more out of necessity. Good thought process 👍
Being an INTJ type really helped me with the conviction and dedication to overcome major physical challenges, such as overcoming spine injuries, we are very resilient to major challenges that effect us.
Same here I ended up avoiding knee surgery and getting better because of it. I kinda became my own science project and have worked the process down to an algorithm?
^ 100%
INTJs come off as lazy (and I am guilty as charged) but that is because we weigh the time and effort to achieve something with the benefit of achieving that thing. Often times, the time and effort aren't worth it. No one values their time more than INTJs.
But there is no one better to have to tackle a big problem that must be overcome. It will be overcome if it can be overcome, and in the most efficient and complete way that it can be.
I apologize for responding to a comment from 3 years ago.
That was so spot on for me. I cannot believe how much insight you have regarding INTJs and are not an INTJ. Being able to predict outcomes freaks some people out when I tell others ahead of time what's going to happen. And extreme sensitivity to the environment: at times it can be overhwhelming when too much data is coming in from external sources and too much to process. Too much input and accelerated processing at the same time can be a lot at times. Extreme sensitivity to light and slight changes in temperatures in work can be distracting, but I'm a problem solver. To be more effective in life, I've learned social skills which seems counter to being INTJ, but it allows me to gather more data about people, building a network of subject matter experts I can on and makes life more efficient. It's not fake because I genuinely enjoy learning from others and I'm a good listener which helps facilitate learning.
Im not 100% surprised, i have this pet theory that people with Te use Fe like a tool in the shed, so although they might not enjoy using it, they can quite effectively
Love this. This confused me for so long in figuring out my type, because even though as a kid I had been continuously surprised that I was hurting people, I beat myself up about it to the point that I paid more attention to it than anything else in my life, and now I can predict emotional reactions even though I cannot understand what the person I am talking to is feeling in real time unless they show it in their face.. it's this situation of being too wrapped up in myself while i am talking and listening that I don't understand what's happening to the other person until after it's happened. But I can predict the emotional reaction in any situation if I am not directly involved in it. I can also accurately tell what two people are feeling when I see them interact. This all, to the detriment of my Te that I am just now beginning to develop. I feel so peaceful now, as I have never before in my 28 years of life. Being controlled by my own emotions is something I think was the result of me not developing my thought processes, so I am still figuring out what type I am.
The distractibility for many INTJs is that this specific MBTI group is steriotypically highly represented among the Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) type folks, as discribed in the works of Dr. Elaine Aron.
BTW that's a personal truth that took me a lifetime to realize, that I wasn't broken, bad or defective.
Oh is that so? I read her book before getting my mbti test. I thought I was an INFP before that. But I have the intj characteristics beneath all that.
Never thought I would know this strange feeling of being understood that well by another type!
Imagine being an INTJ and not pressing as soon as you see this title.
I tried explaining archetypes to my ISFJ neighbor in the simplest terms I could muster after knowing him for 2 years. Briefly touched on the 4 sides otM and tried to explain why I don’t enjoy socializing often.
He then went to great lengths to explain why I should get therapy or I will go manic like he did and not sleep for a month. 😳
*...so ya I pressed the title ASAP!*
Wow, so spot on...and yes a fly in the room can crash a zen thought moment.
If there's a mosquito, it's all-out war until it's dead. Defcon 5. I can hear the thing if I'm in bed!
The external stimuli sensitivity is real! It was so great to hear the third and fourth values celebrated. I keep seeing them devalued and emphasized as a detriment.
I agree, which is why I always have headphones on when outside unless rain then I can take off my headphones because it's actually very quiet outside for me because of the rain drowning everything out for me
yeah, I travel in metro most of the time, and in winter my headphones can drop their battery rapidly absolutely unexpected, so if they that happens.. and I have neither a book or spare pair of airpods, i'm practically dead. (for an hour and a half, until I get out)
it's a kind of a torture in rush hour...
I was like this at a very young age and it scared me, i could predict the behavior of people and see what could and would happen. I honestly thought something was wrong with me. The problem is this, we can't use it on ourselves. It's either that our the fact that we let our judgement of what we want overcome our ability know what's going to happen as a result of a certain action.
I’m an INTJ. This was spot on.
I enjoyed your video and though I am probably older than your grandfather, please do not be offended when I say I believe you have a lovely soul.
'lovely soul'? SHE HAS A CAT. A caaaaaaaaaaaat! Everyone knows cats are aliens trying to take over.
Yes, I would argue that we are very sensitive to small things in our external world. It is accurate.
When you mentioned the flies in the room, animals licking themselves, cars driving by being noticeable I had to think about how I detected a fan was nearby by noticing the direction and forcefulness of the draft I felt and was able to pinpoint it's location about 20ft away and how it bothered me that it was there 😆
Your comunication is so good to hear and so crystal clear
I look away when talking to someone about something important. I look away because I'm visualizing it occurring in a real space. I have to do that to remember it better. As I'm visualizing it, I usually am rapid-firing off various outcomes, causes, whatever in order to aid in understanding it better.
Me too! I worry that people think I'm embarrassed, antisocial, or a liar, but it's more that I don't want to process what their face is telling me because I have like 20 threads to sort out in my head, and I want to focus on communicating my thought.
I am this and you just mailed 100% me in a language I understand. A sincere thank you. Be safe and God Bless!
Wow... I totally agree. I've been nicknamed "the polite a&&hole" a few times... You are an observer. I get way over stimulated with many different things going on at once. Freaks me out... That's why I like to escape without going anywhere, so no one worries or asks me what's wrong.
It’s so wonderful to see you again.
INTJ here. Those are Facts. Totally agree. I Love how you explained it well with examples. It makes it more interesting and I can totally relate to it.
10:08 in agreement 👌highly sensitive. ....appreciate serenity, peace, and quietness. I live inside my brain alot. Thx 4 your video upload, u r a value to society💕
Concise and spot on. When you spoke about Extroverted sensing, it really connected with me. It feels like sensory overload when I’m trying to focus and I continuously hear water dripping or my cat cleaning herself.! Thank you for leaving out the fluff.
Thank you for this! You really get us!
You’re spot on about being overly sensitive to disruptions in the environment. Any kind of abnormal noise/movement drives me nuts. It feels like I’m having an important conversation with myself in my mind, and I’m getting interrupted by something trivial in the outside world. I’m a super light sleeper too. Any kind of noise, change in temperature, or change in light level will wake me up. I need earplugs, blackout curtains, and a temperature of 60-62 degrees in order to sleep.
What a spot on and also, I must say you have used each and every word carefully.
Greetings Mischel It is really kind hearing from you that u like us the INTJs.
You are very perceptive, great video!
So interesting! As an INTJ I love to sit with an project in my head and get my mind working on solutions, and I can always think up a way to make it work because I KNOW it will work. When others are dithering about all the reasons why it's impossible I feel such disdain for them. I get overwhelmed with drama, and tend to walk away rather than fight or argue, but in my mind I know I'm right and that's enough.
A similar case is when someone wants to accomplish something and tells me their plan.
Usually the plan will have one or multiple obvious issues. So I will say "that's not going to work because..."
They will be upset because they just wanted me to thumbs up the plan, I guess.
But then I will say "you could do this, or this...". Then I will point out the next problem and think about alternative paths.
Unfortunately, just about everyone takes this as an attack on their plan and goal. I don't get it. I'm actively helping them get to their end goal without running into roadblocks and pitfalls.
They seem to exclusively focus on the bluntness with which I point out the issues in their original plan.
I don't get it. If I gave someone one of my plans and they pointed out an obvious flaw and helped me figure out a way around it, I would thank them.
I like how knowledgeable you are of INTJs. I feel seen and so understood. Maybe that’s why I keep watching every INTJ video I can find. :-)
Your observations on the strongly held moral convictions related to introverted feeling are very helpful. Often wondered about how that worked. Thanks for the insight. Can I add strongly felt! Intj
Nailed it. Especially that last part about noticing everything. A bug or a flicker in the light.
Well done.
The majority of this was so accurate. I particularly found the last thing you said really interesting, about how sensitive we are to the external world. I personally have to have the TV super loud or I can't focus on it with all the other subtle sounds going on everywhere else that no one else can hear.
Very accurate.
I found myself chuckling at the last segment mentioning sensitivity to the surrounding environment, extremely true of me. I almost always have dim lamps or natural light instead of florescent lighting, a fan to help tune out odd noises when concentrating and a preference for overcast days as I seem to be more relaxed in such an environment.
Being an INTJ is an odd experience, you always feel, to some extent, like an outsider in nearly every situation; I think a dominate Ni and strong Te tends to lead INTJs to have, as you mentioned, strong views which we do truly value, Fi. It can be a very solitary road.
Well thought out and presented. Enjoyed your video. Signed, An INTJ
Bravo, good video! Great analysis!
Great take. Very well articulated.
What a fantastic and insightful presentation! I have been in the lawn & grounds maintenance business for over 36 years but my love is of reading and becoming an accomplished writer. Wrote my first book in 2016 and really got screwed over by my publisher. Currently taking some time off from writing because I want and need to re-group. First of all, I want to take the time to get to know me better through videos such as yours.
I also want to get closer to God and I fasted 43 days in late winter - early Spring of 2020 with that goal in mind. I will be fasting again when the time is right since I want to get to the next level of what God has in store for me. I have always known that I am different, but have not always been very good about embracing my uniqueness in a healthy manner. I Thank You for your insight into the INTJ because it is people like you that will help me get where I want to be in this life. God Bless You!
WOW! You do understand INTJs, kudos!
Love your assessment of Ni; very very true. I can often come across as "arrogant" to people who do not understand me, but as I know from all the other INTJ's in my life, we truly do know what we are talking about; even tho NP's always always offer amazing insight & other ideas we MAY not have thought of. I think any true typed INTJ knows that we don't know everything & we are also able to admit fault when we are wrong.
I often see the Te as how my Ni is "applied in the world" be it currently, 5 years from now, or 40 years from now.
I also totally agree about the sensitivity with Se, I am hypersensitive externally & need to be mindful of my external involvements because of it; I think it's the function that can exhaust us the quickest if not protected or preserved in a way.
Anyhow, loved this video thank you so much
yes, Ni applied exactlyyyyy so well-worded!!
Have I mentioned INTJs are my favorite type? I'm trying not to be biased with this video, but it's so hard when I love you all so much!
@@PsychologyandChillwMichi awww... well, I am doing everything in my power to not respond in a way that will be perceived as arrogant. lol.
But, I appreciate that, we are a weird bunch.
10:50 I'm a tall, heavy, black INTJ known for practicing martial arts and having a brief period of time playing for a rugby team. When walking down the street with my friends, I'm mindful of my surroundings and I anticipate/avoid the path of potentially sketchy people, and I have a non-verbal way of leading my friends into the safest path. They find funny how I always ignore obvious social details but how at the same time I'm always aware of environmentals factors, when usually they are the other way around. Also apparently, it has become clear to some of them when I'm not paying attention to the conversation because in my own twilight zone processing all this external information and thinking about a potential risks, opportunities, traffic, weather, dogs, etc. With my physical traits and my INTJ mind, they say I'm like a bodyguard to them... which they take advantage of (specially my female friends) because they know I'll take them through the fastest but safest path from point A to point B, and I like my "bodyguard" duties, it gives my brain an opportunity to go all-in
I am an INTJ also, and it's interesting how our minds are frequently trying to think (rather than pay attention to immediate conversations or whatnot), but when we choose to pay attention, we can be on-point. When living in a large Asian city (more or less equivalent to being in downtown New York City), my roommate was surprised at how fast and aggressively I'd ride my bike through the dense and complex traffic... I guess because she had me pegged for someone with slow instincts? I've had similar comments from other friends, "We thought you were kind of dumb, but then we realized you just space out a lot."
you are on point 👏👏👏
just pure spot on !
I’m an INTJ and I’m only 15 yet I still relate to almost everything she said
Perceptive and accurate, especially on forming a consensus based outlook. Regarding Ni vision and Te execution, balancing Se and Fi self awareness is a huge edge to better results I've found.
Nice vid. All true and on your observation on Se function, yes , tend to be sensitive and easily distracted/annoyed by surroundings. Private space is needed to focus.
As an INTJ-A, your assessment is quite accurate. A couple of comments regarding the planning and the efficiency part: in my case it is true that I plan things and will think very deeply how I want to execute a certain plan. Planning gives me confidence in my analytical and critical thinking ability and the same time it gives me steps and goal-posts that I can use to measure how far I am from reaching my target. Planning also gives a clear path-way for me to follow and not get distracted by other things that may be happening in parallel.
The second comment is that I am very forward-looking and this leads me to being naturally optimistic. I suppose my optimism is enhanced by the fact that I have confidence in my ability to plan things and carry them out successfully, and planning things thoroughly and carefully is at the centre of it. While it is true that I don't focus much of my attention on other people, I firmly believe that I have to be able to help myself before I can even turn to helping others. I can rationalize how other people can think of this as a selfish attitude when really it is just recognizing that I am not all-knowing or all-capable.
Interesting point at the end, I systematically notice movement in the background or tiny noises. And I have no clue how to deal with people who are overly emotional as I cannot rationalize their behaviour and I decide that it's simply not a good use of my time to try dealing with them.
As an INTJ, a lot of my predictions come true but I can tell you exactly why I made that prediction and what factors/data went into it. My wife is an INFJ and she too makes accurate predictions, but they are out of nowhere and usually in the form of a dream and she cannot tell you why. It may even be about a subject she has absolutely no knowledge about. It is actually quite spooky.
The way you described why you made this video was cute! Subscribed because of that
Very informative and an accurate expression of INTJ. I would like to add, gifts we are given are given when we are ready and open. As an INTJ I would suggest to fellow INTJ's to relax find your home in such a gift to see things with extraordinary history and future reality.
You have nailed many things accurately about me. WOW!
Omggg youre amazing too, thank you for telling me as an INTJ that I'm awesome, i just had a bad day awhile ago and you're video lightens my day.
aw sorry you had a bad day, but i'm glad things are looking up!
INTJ here. really agree with the "distracted by external forces". hate repeating noises, I'll walk away mid-task, sometimes away from someone else, to personally affect the immediate halt of a nuisance. wobly desk? > folded napkin under the leg. Problem solved in the present and probably in the extended foreseeable future until someone (another external force) exerts force against this. in my mind I know that no one will ever have the problem with wobbly table again. like never. What once was a problem doesn't exist anymore.
Also relates to a "minimum standard". Usually a person is a source of problem, so their response to communication defines their future record and also defines how they should be handled. Usually a "they might be having a bad day" is also a factor, once this code is established it's difficult to incorporate other persons thought process into ours because we believe we've already gone through their thought process and incorporated weight and value, when they really just have their own unique code which we assume doesn't contain 100% of ours.
Also, I appreciate you sharing this positive video about the INTJ type. If I am, which I believe to be, then this helps me relate and understand. Thank you.
I agree with the "bothered by external factors" bit because if there is even a bit of light, or a slight noise, I find (unless I'm absolutely exhausted) impossible to get to sleep. I have however honed my ability to block out noise, but it takes intense focus to do so, whether on a conversation or a task.
Kristian Noel so true. I have learned to tune everything out. Someone could have been talking to me for 10 minutes and I wouldn’t have known it. I had to adapt or go nuts.
@@bettymurrell5628 I'm glad I'm not the only one who does that, my eldest niece also does it.
The last point you made was shockingly accurate(at least for me), and it can be extremely annoying or, depending on the mood, near debilitating towards the internal dialog or task I am working on. Sensitive awareness to the external is both a gift and a curse in that your systematically understanding and predicting of the current environment is really acute, and your annoyance for the trivial for example like small sounds or movement in the peripherals etc... can serve as a major distraction in everything you do. Anyways, even though your video is subjective, your descriptions and analysis of experiences with INTJs is really on point and I can defiantly relate to the things you said.
I'm a INTJ female visual artist. Thank you for this video! It really helped me to understand myself more. Kisses from Brazil.
That was a good description of Ni. INTJs are indeed interesting!
Very accurate video. well done
Yay, thanks for the vid! I hate "close singing." One of the worst things that can happen to me is if someone decides to serenade me in close proximity--not "Happy Birthday"--but really trying to give a virtuoso or heart-felt performance; that stuff better be up on a STAGE in its appropriate environment!!!!!! Also the fly buzzing and dog licking itself is 100% true. Great points.
Stopping by to stroke my Ego. Thanks for stroking it for me, beautiful lady. Such an ego, he has! Well, I didn’t choose it. IT chose me and I just embody it. Great job! Keep it up!! 💯
I loved this video, I’m an INTJ and I think that this information could be very good for my family to understand me more. Thank you 💖
I hope that, if/when they see this, it helps them! it's important to understand the people around us so we can be more understanding
Hi, Michi. Your lovely explanation of the behavior of an INTJ (Mastermind Planner) sounds accurate and peaceful, which I like ❤️. You are doing a wonderful job, Michi. Have a wonderful time.
These videos are helping so much ...
What I see as a blessing and a curse as an INTJs is the constant self improvement. But if you can put that into a big vision, it can be extremely powerful.
This is so good. Totally agree with hyper-sensitivity. I always hated shopping in malls and supermarkets because I couldn't focus, but now I'll just listen to a podcast with noise-isolating headphones and always have a pre-written list. So much easier.
I'm an INTJ and I want to thank you for sharing this video. Very interesting. Especially the part about being distracted by external stimuli. It was spot on! At least for me.
INTJ here, watched the video in a very rational and logical way and Yes this information is a 100% correct. All of it!
I just came across this video, and wow is it accurate. I just took a personality test 😅
One point, however... "they don't care as much how things affect other people..." I can't relate to quite so much, though you did preface that you were speaking very subjectively. I am not only an INTJ, but very much an empath, so I'm quite the opposite when it comes to this point.
Everything else, eerily spot on 🤯
As someone very interested in learning why INTJs are among the most admired personality types in business leadership, I find this video presentation to be outstanding. It gets to core observations enhanced with elaborate and well-thought-out explanations.
I work in FinTech and have been working from home since the corona virus outbreak started. I was having a video meeting with my boss and he was surprised that I like working from home so much. We have an open office structure and the lack of external stimuli has been so nice to have gone. Good insight at the end there.
As INTJ i can tell you I can agree with your words. Cool video.
Firstly, brilliant video! I could relate to what you were saying.
You’re spot on with the extroverted sensing.
There are times I’m trying to work and anything from an awful song in the background to a messy room can get me.
It’s fascinating because once I notice it? Game over.
In some cases, it’s reached the point where I was unable to work because my rhythm started to yo-yo and it began to infuriate me so I had to attend to it haha.
Although, I’m glad that I’m not the only one!
I would say based off the comments, you are most certainly not alone, most people have the same sensory sensitivity!
Great video, i am constantly scanning evaluating and observing my environment. Its humorous because i realize that im doing this. Its automatic. There is no forethought. Us INTJ,S are a interesting bunch.
You are dead on right about the sensory overload, so many times I have mentioned things that were distracting me only to find family, colleagues had not noticed anything. Sometimes you feel like a workplace Cassandra making predictions or pointing out flaws in plans and projects that are not welcome insights to my colleagues but I find I cannot ignore any flaws in logic and reasoning in those plans.
Thanks for sharing your observations. I found it to be quite accurate (unless its apparent objectiveness is just a "folie a deux"). I want to share "my way" which is built on a finite set containing at least the following axioms:
(1) Axiom of patterns: Connected patterns lead to an understanding of the world.
(2) Axiom of consistency: Ideas are verified if they are self-consistent and coherent relative to the other ideas or to the world in general.
(3) Axiom of guide: The only guide through the chaos is the inner calling.
(4) Axiom of exploration: Life is experimental and worth exploring.
(5) Axiom of sensitivity: In a non-linear complex system such as life, a tiny unwanted input during a process could lead to a failure.
(6) Axiom of feeling: Long term observations (of internal feelings and external signs) are needed in order to let in the person with whom you feel a connection.
(7) Axiom of ultimacy: The ultimate purpose is to perform my role perfectly.
By the way, a corollary of axiom (5) is the observation you mentioned as an "acute sensitivity to the external world". I hope these inputs will be helpful/interesting to know in a way.
@@KeenanMag1 Well said! Yeah, the domain of feelings to me is like the Amazon rainforest (as it seems from documentaries and books, I've never been there); an inland empire of wonders and dangers. And yet, "whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must be silent". The 6th also results the infamous search for "the soulmate".
Very nice to listen to
Omg what you said about external stimuli is so true for us.
Oh my gosh this is the second video I've seen of yours and I'm saddened upon realizing I've only just discovered your channel. I can't emphasize enough how easy it is to understand you because you speak so clearly and concisely. You also have a very calming voice and the content itself is extremely informative. I could listen to you speak aaaalll day. Thank you so much for sharing your insights!
Im glad you are enjoying it and the information i present ☺️
