I am a psychologist and an INTJ (female). There are more NT types in the psychology than you'd think. It is not all about empathising and emotion. It is necessary to analyse the client's problems objectively. Psychological conventions are a good place to meet an INTJ.
I've heard it been said that there are two types in psychology, the helpers and the researchers. I imagine that xNFx types help, while the xNTx types does analysis and do research. But I see your point, I just don't see myself being good at helping LOL. I mean if you compare it to physics and engineering, there is probably a noticeable analytical difference between the fields of eng/phys and psychology.
@@theintjperspective2958 Yes, the difference lies - in my humble opinion- in the fact that you can rely on pure logic - but can you really? Psychology is very complex and the main question is still WHY? You have to extract the answer from the whole fabric of symptoms and history of the patient - similar to the medical diagnosis. Have you noticed that there are also 2 types of doctors: those who diagnose and those who perform the surgery. In order to diagnose well, you need intuition.
I find many intj seem to project being more extroverted in social settings as of they've weighed up and analysed the pros and cons and have gone with the 'social norm' and by all means do it so quite effectively... But as a enfp 4w5 I get it and it's rarely noticed the undertone of this behaviour of "here I am, but I'd rather be..." I tend to recognise this small detail and give them a smile knowing that it's those types that really melt my heart. So sweet and sometimes rarely noticed, but I see you INTJs :-) And you're absolutely adorable
You're very right. I feel most INTJs can accomplish anything they set their minds to, even being good at being social. It's just that so few actually think it's worth it.
Yea but our social interaction skills are learned through careful analysis and replication which can make us painfully awkward in many unfamiliar situations.
Go to robotics exhibitions. Go to engineering companies. Go to lectures on advanced technologies. Go to university engineering class rooms. Lots of INTJs lurking in those places.
“And if you’re watching this you’re probably not an INTJ but maybe a weird one like an ENFP that’s trying to find us” 😂Omgggg why as an ENFP do I feel exposed? Love it.
Ive learned to talk “normal” to “normal” people because i don’t wanna stand out more than i already do… so true. I had a big problem with this because i just don’t get why they don’t get me. I’ve had to analyze myself objectively through the eyes of other people to realize I’m weird. I can’t easily connect with others but i “go with the flow “ because most times it’s just convenient and “easier”. Thank you for your videos. They are jewels :).
Identifying what people value in conversion is a pretty reliable way to guess functions. I often try to identify what function is someone's top extroverted function, as the introverted functions can be harder to read. For INTJ, that's Te. It's extremely easy to see Te, as the way things get explained through Te is in a very, concise, structured argument that is nearly always after a point. It's rarely for chatting's sake and if there is a bit of polite chat going on, there will still be insights on what is talked on that pop up. This is because of Ni for the INTJ, a thematically concerned function. An INTJ doesn't care if the car is red. They care that it's odd that red cars appear to be going faster than other cars and will look to exploit this when speeding. An INTJ doesn't care if it's sunny out. They care that the humidity level is up and probably chuckle because they realize that hair care product sales are gonna be up that day. In fact, I chuckle to myself all the time with these silly insights that I often don't feel comfortable enough to explain when I get caught laughing. Often the thought is so absurd I just can't explain why it's funny. You will also hear a lot of Fi being funneled through Te in the form of personal anecdotes and observations that lead to value statements or opinions. Fi is the motivational force for INTJ. If something doesn't align with personal values, an INTJ will at best be unhappy engaging with it. When they go to explain this using Te, you will understand crystal clearly that they feel a valid reason exists for them to complain or walk away. All that the world sees of INTJs goes through Te. They will come off very formal, well-thought-out, and probably a bit egotistical to the uninitiated. Finding an INTJ is simple. Go to places where introverts congregate. Basically, niche subjects or hobbies where the emphasis is more on thinking than on sensing will arouse the interest of an INTJ. Chess, board games, library groups, academia of any type, orchestras or anything that is engaging with thought really. Personally, I can't stand more than a small amount of time existing in Se, like playing a sport or the like. It's tiring, but also gets boring quickly. I prefer living in my head and have been known to spend literal days doing this with minimal real world interaction. I'm not saying it's healthy, per se, but it a thing. It's why I can go a week or two without talking with friends or family. I just forget the world exists, frankly.
You drew a giggle out of me when you were describing the INTJ stare. I developed the same habit. During lunches at work I would find a quite corner and eat and allow myself to get lost in the comfort of my own thoughts. From my perspective, I am focusing inwardly and not really "seeing" what I am looking at. A few times I would be approached by someone my eyes had inadvertently settled on. They would ask me if I was "all right?" or why I was so angry. For me it was completely startling, I hadn't even noticed their approach. The number of times I have had to say "Im not upset, I was only thinking" lol
I would definitely agree INTJ women are hard to find, but I have yet to have a guy in the dating world tell me they were looking for one 😅 when I tell them I more feel like I am warning them 😂
Ahh, yes--the INTJ 'uniform': very simple and basic. :) Like you, my clothing items are all very similar and I tend to stick to black and white. I think at its core, we see it as more efficient.
There is a blueprint for everything, including human interaction. Also I've always thought that wearing colour was inefficient but if it helps me blend in better then I may just try it.
(Enfp) I haven't met any real life INTJ's... but I find the extraverted NT's easy to spot at gatherings - when they try to angle the conversation into a preset debate, in order to display their knowledge. By the time they discover that a "bubbly girl" CAN have a brain, I'm already drained, & wondering if the introverted NT"s might possess a lot more humility & insightfulness... If the INTJ's live up to the hype, I plan to hire a whole team of them, to organise my life!
Yes Extroverts or always more easy to spot, and there always appears to be more of them as they are more vocal. Our society encourages extroversion. But extroverted xNTx types tend to be less knowledgeable than the introverted xNTx. This is simply because talking to people takes up way more of their time. Introverts however spend this precious time learning. Because of this INTJs can usually get the better of their extroverted types. But you've probably bumped into a few INTJ types and never new it. Many if my ENFP friends have no idea I'm an INTJ. But yes INTJs are the best at organization and sorting things out, both with tasks and ideas.
It's so sweet that people are looking for us #INTJs! But men seem to think I'm odd (I'm not, I'm just very focused on my projects and picking up new skills/info...). I'm also probably a bit annoying because I want to know how you're doing on your own projects and you're probably attracted to me because....you don't have any,...
Uhmm I think J typed start out with the plain wardrobe and they can optimize it through systems if they want. As a female INTJ myself I never follow trends although I intuively subconsciously gather Se data about what's trendy. I don't read the blogs or magazines but I can just Ni know what's cool and it happens to be lol. What I did was, two years ago I decided that I wanted to look my personal best for me so I took the systematic approach. I taught myself color theory and body geometry- the same way I taught myself mbti. Turns out I had been intuitively doing what Te worked for me all along without knowing the matter of fact principle. I like bold colors like red, cobalt blue, royal purple and fuschia. If I'm not in a bold color, I'm always in black. Those colors work for me because contrast works for me. Also a bold lip is the efficient way to look done up without doing much to your face. INTJs can truly master anything.
Thats about how I went about things. But its a bit different for men. I mean with men's fashion its too extremes, either t-shirt and jeans or full on suit. The trick for me was finding the middle ground. But I started much as you did with skin tone color matching and the amount of detail and contrast, though I lean more towards retro stuff in general. But women have a lot more wiggle room for creativity I think, but it makes sense what you say.
"Subconscious" (and "subconsciously") is a deprecated term and a misnomer. Pedantry aside, it's the first thing I noticed when reading Jung and Freud -- that they said "unconscious" rather than "subconscious" -- and finding out why was actually really interesting and extremely helpful on my psych journey. The old disproven idea of "subconscious" creates a model in the mind of the listener that is in opposition to its actual form, where people think the mind starts with the conscious, and then there's this "sub" bit tacked on the back as a kind of extension. Really, it's the other way around: from out of the body grows the unconscious, and from out of the unconscious grows the conscious ego. The conscious mind is like the mere tip of an iceberg, while the unconscious forms the overwhelming bulk of the psyche, and is entirely capable of dissolving the conscious ego under certain circumstances. IIRC, Jung used a really interesting illustration, likening the disproven "subconscious" model to the old idea of the Earth being at the centre of the solar system (with the Earth representing consciousness), while everything else revolved around it, when really the Earth is not at the centre, and is merely a small part orbiting around a much bigger whole.
Most people don't have the....stamina...to listen to our theories on the topics of our passion. I will say if you find an INTJ and get them to talk about their interest, and are genuinely invested in what they have to say- you will make them a very happy person. It is a rare pleasure for us to be able to express this to a willing participant. :)
The J and P (Judging and Perceiving) refers more to the axes of N vs S, and T vs F, and which functions you prefer to use first and where. It's slightly confusing with introverts, because the letter tells which is your first extroverted function, so T for us -- our second function. Either way, in an INTJ, value of J gives a rough guide as to the balance between thinking and intuition.
Omg! I say Top of the morning to you and created the best metaphor yesterday…being an INTJ is kinda like being an alien in a world of normies!! I’m older now and I had to work on emotions and being tactful when speaking with people. I also have a Tech degree. Great Video!
Oh boy, the part when you were talking about how we stare off into space when we are thinking. And sometimes we may be looking at someone without knowing it... This was something very bad when I would accompany someone into Victoria Secret. I learned to stare at the floor haha
@@theintjperspective2958 All in all, I found this to be very relatable. I often find a lot of other types trying to tell you how to find an INTJ out and about... and there may be one or two things that I'm like okay, that is sort of true, but this was good!
I never thought the formal/antiquated speech was related to this. I have been experimenting with slang, and its very funny for you and your friends to mix slang from 200 years ago with words like "lit" jajajajajaja, Great videos
I recently realized that maybe not everyone have that focus. But if you really wanna do something at your best you need that focus. Why would anyone not wanting that? Do you ever see an elite athlete that dont have that focus for example? It gives result. But I admit it can be drain my energy and make me exhausted after a days work when I focused so much on one problem.
You will find INTJs in the places that relate to their interests, if they like learning languages then you will find them in a language forum or website. We are INTJs like to upgrade our skills and want to be really good at it, so you will find INTJs easily at the place that can help them to elevate their skills and meet their interests.
Just discovered your channel, what a delight! Love the way you talk about interacting with"normal people", I can hear the eyeroll in your tone of voice. Have you done/could you plesee do a video on your take on the different personality types, particularly on the difficulties they each cause for INTJ 's when interacting with them (and how to handle them, if pssoible)?
As you've mentioned in another video that you like reading, I'd recommend to you CG Jung's book about the Typology. As you know, MBTI has developped on the basis of CG Jung's theories. In his books you will find a profound knowledge of all the types, which is missing in the MBTI descriptions.
S types are very detail oriented. My family is all S types. Lol, your thoughts about S types talking that’s me, when I don’t even care about how many oranges you got, even at work people kind of bore me and I know I have to “act” kind of like them (bare minimum) so I don’t exert much energy and then disappear from the face of the earth and it’s great bc they don’t even realize I’m gone. Or maybe the do, idk actually.
Sarcasm: I used it quite a lot in the past. But later realised that it is just a form of putting others down. I care a lot about fairness and honesty. I deserve respecful behavior towards me, so I respectfully behave to others (assertive communication works well). It's cool to learn how to knock off people who direct sarcasm at you (backhanded compliments, "jokes", passive-agressive gestures and expressions,..). I love dark humor when it is not targetting a person directly. It is a lot of idiotic things in this world to laugh about.
I know an INTJ-T female, that's in my age range, single, childless and attractive. We're friends for now but I'm trying to figure out if I should take it further. So, i'm watching your videos as "research"... I'm one those weird ENFP's lol... also yes, I'm the same guy from the comment section on your other video -devintrent88
Yea the INTJ ENFP pull is very real. I have a couple of videos on it that you may like. But its a good fit. INFJs can have the same pull, but to a lesser extent. The main thin though is just finding a way to spend more time together.
@theintjperspective2958 Exactly! I also have an INFJ that I'm actually more interested in but maybe that's only because ive spent more time with her. Do you think that INTJ's love deep like INFJ's? Do you think that an INTJ's love can be as intense as an INFJ? Lastly I've heard that INFJ's can be "intense" when it comes to "intimacy". Do you think it's the same for INTJ's?
Yes! I’m ENFP and I’ll spend 30 mins picking an outfit just to throw on whatever cause I’m probably late to be somewhere. My INTJ boyfriend loves fashion but doesnt take part in flashy trends. He keeps it minimal and basic but makes sure he looks good and proper!
@@fidgetykoala Or a lonely intj female who is excited to find someone she likes? ;) I find it cool that she expresses it (courage). You can not know what you do not know😶🌫️ The amount of information you have about this person is too limited to make accurate conclusions 🤐
9:25 as an entp hearing this, i can fully agree with the intp. Those boxes are arbitrary, but i get it that it helps the intp. I was getting almost offended by boxes before cpt, but i do recognise the validity of these boxes. These seem to be the only True boxes, but there needs to be just a amendment on the definitions.
I actually went on Amazon and bought a shirt that says, "INTJ. One of the 2%" in bold letters. I figure it's a way to strike conversation with people who are into MBTI. Plus, if they're drawn to INTJ's they can approach me, but if they're not, they can steer far away from me. Lol! Another VERY interesting tidbit; When I'm at the gym and my testosterone is spiking, my usual intense INTJ death gaze will truly become an actual Alpha male predatory type gaze. It becomes so intense, that other men will become visibly uncomfortable even seeing me in the mirror, and most will feel an intense sharp pain in their chest or huge tingle down their neck if they make direct eye contact with me. On the flip side, if a female see's me she will immediately get a huge sex flush (red on her entire body). And they will immediately display attracted body language (playing with jewelry, fixing their hair, opening up their legs, etc.) It's just strange because since I'm also a male, I tend to think that I look like a serial killer when I see myself in the mirror and I'm lifting weights, but apparently it turns on the ladies.
Let me just add that, as a gay male INTJ, that stare has the same effect on same sex attraction, it’s definitely not just the ladies. In point of fact, I’m not even close to the hottest guy in the gym, and hotter guys are drawn to me 😂. It makes us feel so freaking awesome when we’re THE alpha, but don’t feed that ego, stay humble.
Interesting video, however, I am going to put this out there. Why on earth would there be anyone who is looking for us INTJs? We are as weird as it can get. If other types would provide their opinion I would be grateful.
You'd be surprised. Most logical types respect as as being some the best people with logic. But for some reason ENFP types adore us. There is an amazing chemistry.
Finding an ENFP is easy, just put yourself in mingle friendly location and they'll usually sniff you out. I recently had one do this at a party. It helps to know what to look for but usually they'll find you, the trick is getting out there.
17:07 " I can" and yes, you can, Tango India Papa. you are an effective speaker and interesting. You mentioned INTJs and the color black appearing in our closet. During my high school years, I took a sociology class. In this class, at the end of the semester, each student in the class fi*lled out a questionnaire about the other students in our sociology class. When I read what the other students thought, or felt about me, they all wanted to know one thing about me. They asked why I wore black clothing so often. This was Florida and the disco ducks ruled, and my black clothing stood out as diffe*rent. My theory now is that until we know how we are suppose to 'mask' ourselves in our clothing because of either a mission or a party (shudder) or during an event for business, we si*mply revert to the color black which is the color of the ni*ght. “If you are the intuitive, you need to observe the following rules: First, say explicitly, at the start, what you are talking about. (Otherwise, you are requiring your sensing listeners to hold what you say in mind until they can figure out what you are referring to, which they seldom think is worth doing.) Second, finish your sentences; you know what the rest of the sentence is, but your listeners do not. Third, give notice when changing the subject. And last, don’t switch back and forth between subjects. Your listeners cannot see the parentheses. Finish one point and move explicitly to the next.” ― Isabel Briggs Myers, Gifts Differing: Understanding Personality Type
18:37 "Target Locked On" I realized I did this once during a party when someone asked me why I was staring at them 'like that'. I did not know I was staring at them so intensely but I had become fascinated with them and was thinking about what they were saying and I was listening so intensely that they became uncomfortable. I checked mystef and tried not to do this again but life* would have been si*mpler had I had the words. and INTJs, watch out for the ESTPs. Their SuperPower is the ability to read a micro mini facial expression and this 'Lock On' of ours may be their kryptoni*te.
23:24 Dark Humor and the INTJ A man walks into a rooftop bar and takes a seat next to another guy. “What are you drinking?” he asks the guy. “Magic beer,” he says. “Oh, yeah? What’s so magical about it?” Then he shows him: He swigs some beer, dives off the roof, flies around the building, then finally returns to his seat with a triumphant smile. “Amazing!” the man says. “Lemme try some of that!” The man grabs the beer. He downs it, leaps off the roof-and plummets 15 stories to the ground. The bartender shakes his head. “You know, you’re a real $#*% when you’re drunk, Superman.”
28:24 "When people consider the trolley problem, here’s what brain imaging reveals: In the footbridge scenario, areas involved in motor planning and emotion become active. In contrast, in the track-switch scenario, only lateral areas involved in rational thinking become active. People register emotionally when they have to push someone; when they only have to tip a lever, their brain behaves like Star Trek’s Mr. Spock." - David Eagleman (Incognito: The Secret Lives of the Brain)
You know, the intj stare is very similar to the entp stare. Just we think of different things when we stare. This only happens in our introverted state though. When i’m socializing, i cant
thx for the insightful video, it was a pleasure to watch I didn´t really appreciate you drinking that red wine from a whisky? glass tho, it is disturbing to me. I am sure you will find it much more delicate to drink from a proper classy wine glass. I´m not gonna start about the cluttered background on your wall but that would be amazing to see, yk show some love to the wine. Thx for reading.
No, no - you can never learn "intuition" if you are an S-type, it is not like a muscle and you can train it. CG Jung is very explicit about that. With a great effort you can improve your minor function - usually in your older age.
Yes, small talk by S-types is unbearable. It is not really "a small talk" like at a party, they just talk about trivia, totally unimportant things, not adequate to situation, real b...it.
Well a path in engineering or the sciences can be very rewarding. That being said if you're committed to being in law there isn't as much opportunity but there is still some. I mean finding loopholes and ways to win a case is in effect, finding a strategy or using tactics, something INTJs excel at. That being said, I knew one technical friend that went into law and double majored in chem engineering as well. He went on to technology patents and their analysis, he was one of the few lawyers out there who could actually understand the technical aspects of the patents, this gave him and advantage over his peers.
Do you have a plan for your life ? What are your big goals and why ? I know you are right but my God its a sad thing for ENFPs. Because most other types can if they want to have that match. (for example an ESFJ with an ISFP or even a ENTP with an INFJ) because of the numbers.. I find INFJ are easier to find. Maybe cause I am really into art atm. I see this is the one downfall to having my cognitive stacks, otherwise ENFP is the best type to be for a lot of reasons. Enfp can do anything they want to because Te in the third slot is powerful , but they have to master si in order to reach their potential.
In my experience, ENFPs meet lots of different types real easily and can form good bonds with INFJs. Though I don't click real well with INFJs. Well goals and plans are a whole other video. I have short term goals and long term ones. I try to be realistic in my goals and have one help the others. Maybe I'll make a video about it some day.
@@theintjperspective2958 Also I watched a Majorie Crawford video about Ni and Ne dominates needing to share ideas - her argument is that society values our oppositie order. She says society values sensing first, then thinking then feeling and then intuition. The exact opposite order of the ENFP and INFJ. It can be hard sometimes when others don't value intuition and I am not always able to explain my points in a way that others can understand or appreciate.
Anything that minimizes social interaction while rewarding analytical abilities. Science and technology fields are a good idea generally. But if an INTJ applies themselves, they can do just about anything they set their minds to.
If you’re a young INTJ and wondering how you can monetize your natural interests & talents (and you’re starting from a place of SELF-AWARENESS & 💯 accuracy in your self-perception), note what you find interesting and makes your brain tingle & body perk up. If you have to talk yourself into something, you’re manipulating yourself, and will lead yourself on a detour, though you’ll eventually find your way back, and hopefully have learned some valuable life lessons along the way. I’m now 47, and have been fortunate to have known who I was and what I naturally love from the time I was a wee little girl. And I should note that I’ve always been around Sensors and have never once been asked what I want to be/do in life, or what my interests are (I’ve been around people really high on the narcissistic spectrum, and they’re only interested in thinking & talking about themselves, the irony being that they’re the most boring people because they’re not curious, and the world is literally never any bigger than their World of One). Watch/listen to a lot of in-depth interviews, and you’ll find people in the public realm who you notice have the same thoughts and thought-patterns as you. Though INTJs aren’t the only type in these industries or fields, I’ve found them in: - science & engineering (i.e., STEM subjects) - journalism - design (industrial design & engineering, graphic design, interior design, professional organizing) - innovative or modern cooking - consulting / coaching / teaching (we give great advice, and know how to break it down into little how-to steps-but to avoid monotony, it’s best to put out products or services where you record/document your solutions ONCE, then charge clients/customers for it, unless you’ve got a customized solution that someone is willing to pay a lot for, since your time, energy & expertise are invaluable) - author / writer/ podcaster /TH-camr (related to item above, where you get to monetize your thoughts & knowledge as intellectual property, though you’re free to provide as much of it as you want for free, as a public service) - CEOs / leaders (not the micromanaging type, but rather big-picture leader who recognizes people’s interests & talents, and allows them to manifest their greatest potential) - entrepreneurs (INTJs love solving real-life problems) We INTJs like to research & experiment, and not do the same thing day-after-day. Repetition bores us, and we want to die from the mind-numbingness of a Groundhog Day-like a existence. Whatever & however you like to experience continuous growth & evolution is a prospect for what’ll be a worthwhile effort. And remember, you don’t have to stick with any ONE thing, since you can be good at a lot of varied areas of interest.
How did you find so many? And does it bring you some advantage? What I mean is that I'm (an INTJ) not sure if I meet another INTJ in person or had someone as a friend. Also I'm uncertain if that would be something to 'desire' or if it's 'better' if people are from different types.
@@SeraphimZero I'm in computer science background(lots of intjs go for engineering,so the probability distribution is huge ) and don't actually approach a person for friendship unless i see them doing interesting feats. And usually i go into "INTJ talks " right from the beginning and if they can keep up , our relationship grows . That's how I'm basically surrounded by other intj's .
I have - logically - to oppose to this number: 2% of population. HOW was it measured, since MBTI test has never been done with the whole of the population?? what kind of "projection" is this?
As with all studies, you take a large enough sample pool an extrapolate proportionally. I think the bigger problem is "self reporting." At the end of the day its not about an exact number, more of an idea that there are few of us.
My two biggest relationships were with INFP women and we generally complimented each other really well. But when you INFPs go dark, *no one* is pulling you back from the abyss, even if we INTJs will go to the ends of the Earth to do so, and probably hurt ourselves in the process. :-/
I know a couple / four - five INTJ that went to bars and online to date... they just left their profile up and waited for the women to message them. And we ENFP found them. I can tell them by their face, but just put INTJ in the profile line and don’t make us search so hard. Lol. And so ... you all are as salty as every other type so stop pretending your not. 🤨🤔✔️ All jokes aside, quitting current job and applying for IT field with no experience. 🥳🎉😬🤦♀️🤔🤷♀️ ⬅️ jkjk
I believe that of people like us have bad relations ships, usually with xSxx types. Up until we find another xNxx type. This usually blows our minds. You might be surprised to learn that ENTPs tend to be drawn to your type, ENFPs like your type alot to. It can be kinda magical actually these kind of matches. That being said just about any xNxx will work well with you. But INTJs can be kinda rare, usually we hang out with other logic types. Good luck

He is VERY organized, methodical and productive, which seems very Te, and his novels endings are well planned from the beginning so that its endings have big revelations and close every plot line.

@@theintjperspective2958 Yes, the difference lies - in my humble opinion- in the fact that you can rely on pure logic - but can you really? Psychology is very complex and the main question is still WHY? You have to extract the answer from the whole fabric of symptoms and history of the patient - similar to the medical diagnosis. Have you noticed that there are also 2 types of doctors: those who diagnose and those who perform the surgery. In order to diagnose well, you need intuition.
@@theintjperspective2958 Your channel is very comforting for me - just to hear someone who thinks similar to myself.
Thats one thing I think a lot of INTJs experience, is that they feel alone. And very good point about using pure logic and intuition in psychology.
I find many intj seem to project being more extroverted in social settings as of they've weighed up and analysed the pros and cons and have gone with the 'social norm' and by all means do it so quite effectively... But as a enfp 4w5 I get it and it's rarely noticed the undertone of this behaviour of "here I am, but I'd rather be..." I tend to recognise this small detail and give them a smile knowing that it's those types that really melt my heart. So sweet and sometimes rarely noticed, but I see you INTJs :-) And you're absolutely adorable
You're very right. I feel most INTJs can accomplish anything they set their minds to, even being good at being social. It's just that so few actually think it's worth it.
Fucking true
Agreed. Many more introverted type appear more social than some extroverts socially - just drains energy faster.
Yea but our social interaction skills are learned through careful analysis and replication which can make us painfully awkward in many unfamiliar situations.
You melt my heart too syndi enfp 4w5 that you took time to leave a sweet comment like that in intjs video,
Go to robotics exhibitions. Go to engineering companies. Go to lectures on advanced technologies. Go to university engineering class rooms. Lots of INTJs lurking in those places.
“And if you’re watching this you’re probably not an INTJ but maybe a weird one like an ENFP that’s trying to find us” 😂Omgggg why as an ENFP do I feel exposed? Love it.
😆
Ive learned to talk “normal” to “normal” people because i don’t wanna stand out more than i already do… so true. I had a big problem with this because i just don’t get why they don’t get me. I’ve had to analyze myself objectively through the eyes of other people to realize I’m weird. I can’t easily connect with others but i “go with the flow “ because most times it’s just convenient and “easier”.
Thank you for your videos. They are jewels :).
Dating an INTJ, nah! I just want an INTJ BFF I can have midnight drives with while discussing psychology at red lights. 😂
Well, excellent. You've come to the right place :)
“I don’t know this car just speaks to me.” I died laughing, I felt so attacked -ENFP
Identifying what people value in conversion is a pretty reliable way to guess functions. I often try to identify what function is someone's top extroverted function, as the introverted functions can be harder to read. For INTJ, that's Te. It's extremely easy to see Te, as the way things get explained through Te is in a very, concise, structured argument that is nearly always after a point. It's rarely for chatting's sake and if there is a bit of polite chat going on, there will still be insights on what is talked on that pop up. This is because of Ni for the INTJ, a thematically concerned function. An INTJ doesn't care if the car is red. They care that it's odd that red cars appear to be going faster than other cars and will look to exploit this when speeding. An INTJ doesn't care if it's sunny out. They care that the humidity level is up and probably chuckle because they realize that hair care product sales are gonna be up that day. In fact, I chuckle to myself all the time with these silly insights that I often don't feel comfortable enough to explain when I get caught laughing. Often the thought is so absurd I just can't explain why it's funny. You will also hear a lot of Fi being funneled through Te in the form of personal anecdotes and observations that lead to value statements or opinions. Fi is the motivational force for INTJ. If something doesn't align with personal values, an INTJ will at best be unhappy engaging with it. When they go to explain this using Te, you will understand crystal clearly that they feel a valid reason exists for them to complain or walk away. All that the world sees of INTJs goes through Te. They will come off very formal, well-thought-out, and probably a bit egotistical to the uninitiated.
Finding an INTJ is simple. Go to places where introverts congregate. Basically, niche subjects or hobbies where the emphasis is more on thinking than on sensing will arouse the interest of an INTJ. Chess, board games, library groups, academia of any type, orchestras or anything that is engaging with thought really. Personally, I can't stand more than a small amount of time existing in Se, like playing a sport or the like. It's tiring, but also gets boring quickly. I prefer living in my head and have been known to spend literal days doing this with minimal real world interaction. I'm not saying it's healthy, per se, but it a thing. It's why I can go a week or two without talking with friends or family. I just forget the world exists, frankly.
Yes, this is pretty good.
Holy crow I’ve never felt so among my people
You drew a giggle out of me when you were describing the INTJ stare. I developed the same habit. During lunches at work I would find a quite corner and eat and allow myself to get lost in the comfort of my own thoughts. From my perspective, I am focusing inwardly and not really "seeing" what I am looking at. A few times I would be approached by someone my eyes had inadvertently settled on. They would ask me if I was "all right?" or why I was so angry. For me it was completely startling, I hadn't even noticed their approach. The number of times I have had to say "Im not upset, I was only thinking" lol
Yes, this something a lot of INTJs can relate to LOL
Once I got myself a boyfriend accidentally thanks to that stare 😅
I would definitely agree INTJ women are hard to find, but I have yet to have a guy in the dating world tell me they were looking for one 😅 when I tell them I more feel like I am warning them 😂
intj women are awesome. Least it what I think. :)
Ahh, yes--the INTJ 'uniform': very simple and basic. :) Like you, my clothing items are all very similar and I tend to stick to black and white. I think at its core, we see it as more efficient.
There is a blueprint for everything, including human interaction. Also I've always thought that wearing colour was inefficient but if it helps me blend in better then I may just try it.
Yes very much so, I think wearing all black is kinda amateurish and I use it sparingly.
(Enfp) I haven't met any real life INTJ's... but I find the extraverted NT's easy to spot at gatherings - when they try to angle the conversation into a preset debate, in order to display their knowledge. By the time they discover that a "bubbly girl" CAN have a brain, I'm already drained, & wondering if the introverted NT"s might possess a lot more humility & insightfulness... If the INTJ's live up to the hype, I plan to hire a whole team of them, to organise my life!
Yes Extroverts or always more easy to spot, and there always appears to be more of them as they are more vocal. Our society encourages extroversion. But extroverted xNTx types tend to be less knowledgeable than the introverted xNTx. This is simply because talking to people takes up way more of their time. Introverts however spend this precious time learning. Because of this INTJs can usually get the better of their extroverted types. But you've probably bumped into a few INTJ types and never new it. Many if my ENFP friends have no idea I'm an INTJ. But yes INTJs are the best at organization and sorting things out, both with tasks and ideas.
It's so sweet that people are looking for us #INTJs! But men seem to think I'm odd (I'm not, I'm just very focused on my projects and picking up new skills/info...). I'm also probably a bit annoying because I want to know how you're doing on your own projects and you're probably attracted to me because....you don't have any,...
Stupid unconfident guys are undoubtingly scared off. But ENFPs will be drawn to you.
Uhmm I think J typed start out with the plain wardrobe and they can optimize it through systems if they want. As a female INTJ myself I never follow trends although I intuively subconsciously gather Se data about what's trendy. I don't read the blogs or magazines but I can just Ni know what's cool and it happens to be lol. What I did was, two years ago I decided that I wanted to look my personal best for me so I took the systematic approach. I taught myself color theory and body geometry- the same way I taught myself mbti. Turns out I had been intuitively doing what Te worked for me all along without knowing the matter of fact principle. I like bold colors like red, cobalt blue, royal purple and fuschia. If I'm not in a bold color, I'm always in black. Those colors work for me because contrast works for me. Also a bold lip is the efficient way to look done up without doing much to your face. INTJs can truly master anything.
Thats about how I went about things. But its a bit different for men. I mean with men's fashion its too extremes, either t-shirt and jeans or full on suit. The trick for me was finding the middle ground. But I started much as you did with skin tone color matching and the amount of detail and contrast, though I lean more towards retro stuff in general. But women have a lot more wiggle room for creativity I think, but it makes sense what you say.
"Subconscious" (and "subconsciously") is a deprecated term and a misnomer. Pedantry aside, it's the first thing I noticed when reading Jung and Freud -- that they said "unconscious" rather than "subconscious" -- and finding out why was actually really interesting and extremely helpful on my psych journey.
The old disproven idea of "subconscious" creates a model in the mind of the listener that is in opposition to its actual form, where people think the mind starts with the conscious, and then there's this "sub" bit tacked on the back as a kind of extension. Really, it's the other way around: from out of the body grows the unconscious, and from out of the unconscious grows the conscious ego. The conscious mind is like the mere tip of an iceberg, while the unconscious forms the overwhelming bulk of the psyche, and is entirely capable of dissolving the conscious ego under certain circumstances.
IIRC, Jung used a really interesting illustration, likening the disproven "subconscious" model to the old idea of the Earth being at the centre of the solar system (with the Earth representing consciousness), while everything else revolved around it, when really the Earth is not at the centre, and is merely a small part orbiting around a much bigger whole.
I’m probably the most fashionable INTJ. It’s the best way to express oneself without saying a single word! 😉
Yes I agree it's important to express yourself without ever having to say a word.
I really admire you guys. Im a ENFP and I would love to talk to an INTJ about things there interested in.
Thats great, well this little is a great place for some of that :)
Most people don't have the....stamina...to listen to our theories on the topics of our passion. I will say if you find an INTJ and get them to talk about their interest, and are genuinely invested in what they have to say- you will make them a very happy person. It is a rare pleasure for us to be able to express this to a willing participant. :)
The J and P (Judging and Perceiving) refers more to the axes of N vs S, and T vs F, and which functions you prefer to use first and where. It's slightly confusing with introverts, because the letter tells which is your first extroverted function, so T for us -- our second function. Either way, in an INTJ, value of J gives a rough guide as to the balance between thinking and intuition.
I giggled when you mentioned "if you're watching this you're probably another weird ENFP trying to find us." Got completely busted. :D
We're always one step ahead 😆
Hey, please do a video on INTJ women! 🙋🏻♀️
You have good insights. Would like to hear more about your thoughts on that.
I've had more than a few INTJ female friends so I guess I can 🙂
@@theintjperspective2958 Great, thanks!😊 Looking forward to it.
Omg! I say Top of the morning to you and created the best metaphor yesterday…being an INTJ is kinda like being an alien in a world of normies!! I’m older now and I had to work on emotions and being tactful when speaking with people. I also have a Tech degree. Great Video!
Oh boy, the part when you were talking about how we stare off into space when we are thinking. And sometimes we may be looking at someone without knowing it... This was something very bad when I would accompany someone into Victoria Secret. I learned to stare at the floor haha
Oh yes I've had similar experiences. You learn to pick "innocent" parts of the room to stare at lol.
@@theintjperspective2958 All in all, I found this to be very relatable. I often find a lot of other types trying to tell you how to find an INTJ out and about... and there may be one or two things that I'm like okay, that is sort of true, but this was good!
I never thought the formal/antiquated speech was related to this. I have been experimenting with slang, and its very funny for you and your friends to mix slang from 200 years ago with words like "lit" jajajajajaja, Great videos
it is very out of place but with say with confidence it will bring everyone to tears
I recently realized that maybe not everyone have that focus.
But if you really wanna do something at your best you need that focus. Why would anyone not wanting that? Do you ever see an elite athlete that dont have that focus for example? It gives result.
But I admit it can be drain my energy and make me exhausted after a days work when I focused so much on one problem.
You will find INTJs in the places that relate to their interests, if they like learning languages then you will find them in a language forum or website. We are INTJs like to upgrade our skills and want to be really good at it, so you will find INTJs easily at the place that can help them to elevate their skills and meet their interests.
INTJ-T female here, watching things I'd say myself and receiving comforting experience of "belonging". Thank you.
Yea INTJs always feel like outsiders
Just discovered your channel, what a delight! Love the way you talk about interacting with"normal people", I can hear the eyeroll in your tone of voice. Have you done/could you plesee do a video on your take on the different personality types, particularly on the difficulties they each cause for INTJ 's when interacting with them (and how to handle them, if pssoible)?
Sure, I've had some others ask this. I may break down some of the interesting interactions and general advice about xSxx types jn the future.
I can't believe you've precisely defined intuition in a 100% logical way 😂 "Coming to a conclusion with a small amount of data"
Thanks, I struggled a while with the concept but after reading Carl Jung it inspired me.
As you've mentioned in another video that you like reading, I'd recommend to you CG Jung's book about the Typology. As you know, MBTI has developped on the basis of CG Jung's theories. In his books you will find a profound knowledge of all the types, which is missing in the MBTI descriptions.
S types are very detail oriented. My family is all S types. Lol, your thoughts about S types talking that’s me, when I don’t even care about how many oranges you got, even at work people kind of bore me and I know I have to “act” kind of like them (bare minimum) so I don’t exert much energy and then disappear from the face of the earth and it’s great bc they don’t even realize I’m gone. Or maybe the do, idk actually.
Sarcasm: I used it quite a lot in the past. But later realised that it is just a form of putting others down. I care a lot about fairness and honesty. I deserve respecful behavior towards me, so I respectfully behave to others (assertive communication works well).
It's cool to learn how to knock off people who direct sarcasm at you (backhanded compliments, "jokes", passive-agressive gestures and expressions,..).
I love dark humor when it is not targetting a person directly. It is a lot of idiotic things in this world to laugh about.
I know an INTJ-T female, that's in my age range, single, childless and attractive. We're friends for now but I'm trying to figure out if I should take it further. So, i'm watching your videos as "research"... I'm one those weird ENFP's lol... also yes, I'm the same guy from the comment section on your other video -devintrent88
Yea the INTJ ENFP pull is very real. I have a couple of videos on it that you may like. But its a good fit. INFJs can have the same pull, but to a lesser extent. The main thin though is just finding a way to spend more time together.
@theintjperspective2958 Exactly! I also have an INFJ that I'm actually more interested in but maybe that's only because ive spent more time with her. Do you think that INTJ's love deep like INFJ's? Do you think that an INTJ's love can be as intense as an INFJ? Lastly I've heard that INFJ's can be "intense" when it comes to "intimacy". Do you think it's the same for INTJ's?
It's soo funny :D
I'm INTJ too and all things are common, especially to stare into an empty point and focuse
Yes! I’m ENFP and I’ll spend 30 mins picking an outfit just to throw on whatever cause I’m probably late to be somewhere. My INTJ boyfriend loves fashion but doesnt take part in flashy trends. He keeps it minimal and basic but makes sure he looks good and proper!
Thanks for confirming this theory 😁
I'm Enfp and I never met intj in my life but I would love to have a intj friend
You may have met one and not have known it. Odds are you'll find one, ENFPs usually do.
How to tell if you are talking to an INTJ:
1. We use words like “loquacious” in regular conversation.
Author: Female INTJ
Its not just a big vocabulary, but an obscure one that sets the INTJs apart ;)
We are hard to find on purpose. 😄
At the risk of being "politically incorrect", I have to tell you that you are so charming and so cute.... (and smart, obviously).
ENFP?
@@johnknight9150 she pretended to be an INTJ then dropped about 25 comments, and finally she came out.

You can not know what you do not know😶🌫️
The amount of information you have about this person is too limited to make accurate conclusions 🤐
9:25 as an entp hearing this, i can fully agree with the intp. Those boxes are arbitrary, but i get it that it helps the intp. I was getting almost offended by boxes before cpt, but i do recognise the validity of these boxes. These seem to be the only True boxes, but there needs to be just a amendment on the definitions.
16:20 - Wow! You have so many great analogies lol... typical "N" type lol
then you said exactly what I said a few seconds later lol... gotta love it!
Thanks man 😎
I actually went on Amazon and bought a shirt that says, "INTJ. One of the 2%" in bold letters. I figure it's a way to strike conversation with people who are into MBTI. Plus, if they're drawn to INTJ's they can approach me, but if they're not, they can steer far away from me. Lol!
Another VERY interesting tidbit; When I'm at the gym and my testosterone is spiking, my usual intense INTJ death gaze will truly become an actual Alpha male predatory type gaze. It becomes so intense, that other men will become visibly uncomfortable even seeing me in the mirror, and most will feel an intense sharp pain in their chest or huge tingle down their neck if they make direct eye contact with me.
On the flip side, if a female see's me she will immediately get a huge sex flush (red on her entire body). And they will immediately display attracted body language (playing with jewelry, fixing their hair, opening up their legs, etc.) It's just strange because since I'm also a male, I tend to think that I look like a serial killer when I see myself in the mirror and I'm lifting weights, but apparently it turns on the ladies.
Yes that makes sense, I've had similar experiences in the gym now that I think of it.
@@theintjperspective2958 Crazy right?
...no they don't.
Let me just add that, as a gay male INTJ, that stare has the same effect on same sex attraction, it’s definitely not just the ladies. In point of fact, I’m not even close to the hottest guy in the gym, and hotter guys are drawn to me 😂. It makes us feel so freaking awesome when we’re THE alpha, but don’t feed that ego, stay humble.
Subscribed I'm an INTJ too
Interesting video, however, I am going to put this out there. Why on earth would there be anyone who is looking for us INTJs? We are as weird as it can get. If other types would provide their opinion I would be grateful.
You'd be surprised. Most logical types respect as as being some the best people with logic. But for some reason ENFP types adore us. There is an amazing chemistry.
Because anyone wants to be understood and we ENFP are at the most misinterpreted beings.
NTs look for other NTs.
How about, how to meet older ENFPs women (35-45ish) Just throwing that out into the universe and TH-cam. Good content sir. New subscriber
Finding an ENFP is easy, just put yourself in mingle friendly location and they'll usually sniff you out. I recently had one do this at a party. It helps to know what to look for but usually they'll find you, the trick is getting out there.
17:07 " I can" and yes, you can, Tango India Papa. you are an effective speaker
and interesting.
You mentioned INTJs and the color black appearing in our closet.
During my high school years, I took a sociology class. In this class, at the end
of the semester, each student in the class fi*lled out a questionnaire about the other students in our sociology class. When I read what the other students thought, or felt about
me, they all wanted to know one thing about me.
They asked why I wore black clothing so often. This was Florida and the disco ducks ruled, and my black clothing stood out as diffe*rent. My theory now is that until we know how
we are suppose to 'mask' ourselves in our clothing because of either a mission or a party (shudder) or during an event for business, we si*mply revert to the color black which is the
color of the ni*ght.
“If you are the intuitive, you need to observe the following rules:
First, say explicitly, at the start, what you are talking about. (Otherwise, you are requiring your sensing listeners to hold what you say in mind until they can figure out what you are referring to, which they seldom think is worth doing.)
Second, finish your sentences; you know what the rest of the sentence is, but your listeners do not. Third, give notice when changing the subject.
And last, don’t switch back and forth between subjects. Your listeners cannot see the parentheses.
Finish one point and move explicitly to the next.”
― Isabel Briggs Myers, Gifts Differing: Understanding Personality Type
18:37 "Target Locked On"
I realized I did this once during a party when someone asked me why
I was staring at them 'like that'. I did not know I was staring at them so intensely
but I had become fascinated with them and was thinking about what they
were saying and I was listening so intensely
that they became uncomfortable. I checked mystef and tried not to do this
again but life* would have been si*mpler had I had the words.

read a micro mini facial expression and this 'Lock On' of ours may be
their kryptoni*te.
23:24 Dark Humor and the INTJ
A man walks into a rooftop bar and takes a seat next to another guy. “What are you drinking?” he asks the guy.
“Magic beer,” he says.
“Oh, yeah? What’s so magical about it?”
Then he shows him: He swigs some beer, dives off the roof, flies around the building, then finally returns to his seat with a triumphant smile.
“Amazing!” the man says. “Lemme try some of that!” The man grabs the beer. He downs it, leaps off the roof-and plummets 15 stories to the ground.
The bartender shakes his head.
“You know, you’re a real $#*% when you’re drunk, Superman.”

"When people consider the trolley problem, here’s what brain imaging reveals:
In the footbridge scenario, areas involved in motor planning and emotion become active.
In contrast, in the track-switch scenario, only lateral areas involved in rational thinking become active.
People register emotionally when they have to push someone;
when they only have to tip a lever, their brain behaves like Star Trek’s Mr. Spock."

You know, the intj stare is very similar to the entp stare. Just we think of different things when we stare. This only happens in our introverted state though. When i’m socializing, i cant

No, no - you can never learn "intuition" if you are an S-type, it is not like a muscle and you can train it. CG Jung is very explicit about that.
With a great effort you can improve your minor function - usually in your older age.
Yes, small talk by S-types is unbearable. It is not really "a small talk" like at a party, they just talk about trivia, totally unimportant things, not adequate to situation, real b...it.
Yes and cover everything so much detail lol
But I am drawn to invent innovate or discover of course most intjs are so what do you think i should approach the problem
Well a path in engineering or the sciences can be very rewarding. That being said if you're committed to being in law there isn't as much opportunity but there is still some. I mean finding loopholes and ways to win a case is in effect, finding a strategy or using tactics, something INTJs excel at. That being said, I knew one technical friend that went into law and double majored in chem engineering as well. He went on to technology patents and their analysis, he was one of the few lawyers out there who could actually understand the technical aspects of the patents, this gave him and advantage over his peers.
@@theintjperspective2958 i don't find it interesting at all can an intj induce interest in something that is boring
Quiet confidence, or scary quiet, or idk if your scary or not 😂 is what people used to say lol.
Do you have a plan for your life ? What are your big goals and why ?
I know you are right but my God its a sad thing for ENFPs. Because most other types can if they want to have that match. (for example an ESFJ with an ISFP or even a ENTP with an INFJ) because of the numbers.. I find INFJ are easier to find. Maybe cause I am really into art atm. I see this is the one downfall to having my cognitive stacks, otherwise ENFP is the best type to be for a lot of reasons. Enfp can do anything they want to because Te in the third slot is powerful , but they have to master si in order to reach their potential.
In my experience, ENFPs meet lots of different types real easily and can form good bonds with INFJs. Though I don't click real well with INFJs. Well goals and plans are a whole other video. I have short term goals and long term ones. I try to be realistic in my goals and have one help the others. Maybe I'll make a video about it some day.

watching this as an INFP
Welcome to the channel
I am ENFP - would be interested in having INTJ "pen pals" to share ideas and learn from.
What careers would you recommend to an intj
Anything that minimizes social interaction while rewarding analytical abilities. Science and technology fields are a good idea generally. But if an INTJ applies themselves, they can do just about anything they set their minds to.
If you’re a young INTJ and wondering how you can monetize your natural interests & talents (and you’re starting from a place of SELF-AWARENESS & 💯 accuracy in your self-perception), note what you find interesting and makes your brain tingle & body perk up. If you have to talk yourself into something, you’re manipulating yourself, and will lead yourself on a detour, though you’ll eventually find your way back, and hopefully have learned some valuable life lessons along the way.
I’m now 47, and have been fortunate to have known who I was and what I naturally love from the time I was a wee little girl. And I should note that I’ve always been around Sensors and have never once been asked what I want to be/do in life, or what my interests are (I’ve been around people really high on the narcissistic spectrum, and they’re only interested in thinking & talking about themselves, the irony being that they’re the most boring people because they’re not curious, and the world is literally never any bigger than their World of One).
Watch/listen to a lot of in-depth interviews, and you’ll find people in the public realm who you notice have the same thoughts and thought-patterns as you. Though INTJs aren’t the only type in these industries or fields, I’ve found them in:
- science & engineering (i.e., STEM subjects)
- journalism
- design (industrial design & engineering, graphic design, interior design, professional organizing)
- innovative or modern cooking
- consulting / coaching / teaching (we give great advice, and know how to break it down into little how-to steps-but to avoid monotony, it’s best to put out products or services where you record/document your solutions ONCE, then charge clients/customers for it, unless you’ve got a customized solution that someone is willing to pay a lot for, since your time, energy & expertise are invaluable)
- author / writer/ podcaster /TH-camr (related to item above, where you get to monetize your thoughts & knowledge as intellectual property, though you’re free to provide as much of it as you want for free, as a public service)
- CEOs / leaders (not the micromanaging type, but rather big-picture leader who recognizes people’s interests & talents, and allows them to manifest their greatest potential)
- entrepreneurs (INTJs love solving real-life problems)
We INTJs like to research & experiment, and not do the same thing day-after-day. Repetition bores us, and we want to die from the mind-numbingness of a Groundhog Day-like a existence. Whatever & however you like to experience continuous growth & evolution is a prospect for what’ll be a worthwhile effort. And remember, you don’t have to stick with any ONE thing, since you can be good at a lot of varied areas of interest.

my entire friend base is 90% intj, I myself am one. Anyone wants to rent my friend base on an hourly basis?
How did you find so many? And does it bring you some advantage?
What I mean is that I'm (an INTJ) not sure if I meet another INTJ in person or had someone as a friend. Also I'm uncertain if that would be something to 'desire' or if it's 'better' if people are from different types.
@@SeraphimZero I'm in computer science background(lots of intjs go for engineering,so the probability distribution is huge ) and don't actually approach a person for friendship unless i see them doing interesting feats. And usually i go into "INTJ talks " right from the beginning and if they can keep up , our relationship grows .
That's how I'm basically surrounded by other intj's .
So INTJ male and ENTJ female can date and be together successfully?...asking for a friend.
Not the best pairing lol
Any personality type can get along, it depends purely upon the person's personal development, or lack of.
- intj male
@@theintjperspective2958What about intj isfp? Asking for myself...😩
@@Lynn-ip9sh Not the worst paring, but not the best. (in my opinion)
You want to fight every day on any topic?😂
I have - logically - to oppose to this number: 2% of population. HOW was it measured, since MBTI test has never been done with the whole of the population?? what kind of "projection" is this?
As with all studies, you take a large enough sample pool an extrapolate proportionally. I think the bigger problem is "self reporting." At the end of the day its not about an exact number, more of an idea that there are few of us.

22:40 leg version is better
I am infp. Not a big fan of intj tbh. Ego battles
Fair enough
My two biggest relationships were with INFP women and we generally complimented each other really well. But when you INFPs go dark, *no one* is pulling you back from the abyss, even if we INTJs will go to the ends of the Earth to do so, and probably hurt ourselves in the process. :-/
I know a couple / four - five INTJ that went to bars and online to date... they just left their profile up and waited for the women to message them. And we ENFP found them. I can tell them by their face, but just put INTJ in the profile line and don’t make us search so hard. Lol. And so ... you all are as salty as every other type so stop pretending your not. 🤨🤔✔️
All jokes aside, quitting current job and applying for IT field with no experience. 🥳🎉😬🤦♀️🤔🤷♀️ ⬅️ jkjk
I've put INTJ on my dating profiles, most people don't even know what it means.
@@theintjperspective2958 if they don't know what it means and they don't go search it then they're not for you lol 😁
My infj ass landed here to find out how to find an intj ❤
I believe that of people like us have bad relations ships, usually with xSxx types. Up until we find another xNxx type. This usually blows our minds. You might be surprised to learn that ENTPs tend to be drawn to your type, ENFPs like your type alot to. It can be kinda magical actually these kind of matches. That being said just about any xNxx will work well with you. But INTJs can be kinda rare, usually we hang out with other logic types. Good luck
Again, come to Europe! We love sarcasm and irony....
Is Brandon Sanderson INTP or INTJ? 🧐
Sorry I'm not familiar to is work, but generally xSxx types aren't known for science fiction/fantasy genres so he's most likely an xNxx type.
@@theintjperspective2958 yeah, definitely! He is VERY organized, methodical and productive, which seems very Te, and his novels endings are well planned from the beginning so that its endings have big revelations and close every plot line. But some people say that he's Ti-Ne because of the fact that he spends most of his time writing stories that have very creative ideas, well developed arguments and systems. He has said that he gets INTJ on tests, but at least atm people have voted him as INTP x) he's a tough one to type.
I want one 🥺
Why? I'm just curious why someone would look esp for an INTJ.
@@SeraphimZero I've always been attracted to this type even before knowing what MBTI was. For me it's because they're the opposite of mine (ENFP, opposites attract?), plus the mysterious aspect/representing what I am not makes them so attractive for me.
@@fatmahalsalem8226 I'm an INTJ and still try to figure some things out. That's why I ask what other ppl see positive. Also (not all friends are typted) at the moment I don't know of any ENFPs in my friend group, so I don't know what to expect. ^^
@@SeraphimZero haha it might just be a personal thing tbh but I'm sure many ENFPs agree. I think you'll get an idea when you see my type and I think I'll get yours, unfortunately I haven't met one irl but I seem to be attracting lots of INFJs. (In TV Shows I can easily type INTJs, intense stare,intelligence, mysterious) I find it fascinating your way of thinking, irl still haven't found one. Hope I do >.
@@fatmahalsalem8226 Than good luck to you. :-)

✨✨✨
Haha I’ve found plenty. Didn’t even have to talk to 5. Forget 50
In fact even INTJ born on the same day. What are the odds?
Ive hired intj
And all before I even knew they were iNTj !!!
Must be that ENFP radar
@@theintjperspective2958 hmm I think ur right. I wrote something on the intj Reddit about my perception ans I got 100 comments lol. And 300 likes. I think that is a thumbs up from the intj
INTJs are very talkative that is a lie lol
We just got ta get you around the right people is all ;)
You THINK it is a lie. It is your opinion and an opinion is not a fact.
I am an INTJ and i love to talk a lot about things that are interesting to me. But i need a huge amount of time to process and recharge while being alone.
INTJs will be INTJs about different things. = hate each other.
On the contrary, INTJs are some of the few types that actually get along with each other fairly well. I have a lot of INTJ friends that click exceptionally well with.
@@theintjperspective2958 Like Stalin and Hitler
@@infdox9051 not quite, Hitler is considered to be an INFJ and Stalin an ENTJ. But their backgrounds explain more of who they are than does the MBTI. Though Lenin is considered to be an INTJ ;)
@@theintjperspective2958 One sun in the sky.
"Are you okay?"
I feel great, why?
::please stop talking, I've derived all the data i need from this interaction::
How to tell an INTJ is being nice but wants you to stop talking: "thats wild, thats nuts, thats gnarly, thats wild"
