I think INTJ women have additional internal struggles because we often are viewed as more "masculine," so many of us feel the need to overcompensate by going out of our way to be nice. It gets exhausting sometimes.
sea bunny Us infj men appreciate your efforts and understand your struggle.
Violet 1998 But I don’t see intj females like a man amongst females. Of course, I can see a masculine quality or attributes, but no worries ladies, you are all still very feminine to me. I think perhaps you just see the masculine attributes in yourself, and it is kind of amplified in your mind.
As an ENTP woman I have a similar struggle, women aren’t usually the dry-humored, sharp jokers of the group, so you tend to be viewed as eccentric.
Violet 1998 love to be your friend. Thank you.
Let's all be friends!
At the core of every Intj is an extremely lazy individual. We want to optimize our lives so greatly to the point where we don’t have to ever worry or think. We’d rather put in an insane amount of planning and energy into something now so that it pays dividend for us in the future.
This is very true. As an INTJ, this quote from Bill Gates always resonated with me: “I choose a lazy person to do a hard job. Because a lazy person will find an easy way to do it.”
Lazy is one of my core values. Why would I waste my time otherwise?
A weird example for this is me during exams.
6 hour exam
= 3,5 hours of highlighting and Notes
2,5 hours of actual writing
That way I don’t even have to think when actually writing, I’m just copying and formulating
Eric Calhoun totally agree
Factorio in a nutshell.
It's funny because INTJ's are mostly described as these supervillain robots, but in reality I've come to know they're actually really kind, intelligent people whom I get along with very well.
Thank you for that sweet compliment! I hope you feel “seen” as well ;)
I completely agree! They can be really warmhearted and helpfull, although they may express their warmth through deeds instead of words.
INTJ doesn't think for themselves (Te) so they can literally become whatever their feelings decide. If an INTJ is born with evil feelings then it's very difficult to get them to change by using logic.
@@savvageorge
Projection? I grudgingly wear the INTJ label as a matter of convenience because it's the closest fit, but I think we would need a separate category for every individual before we all fit neatly into little boxes. The theory says that I will have much in common with other INTJs, but I find this to be true only in the broadest sense. The differences are great enough that I do not find the categorizations very useful at all. "INTJ doesn't think for themselves?" That is ridiculous. We all think for ourselves. We just process information differently. And no one is "born with evil feelings." We are all products of our circumstances and how we *choose* to react to them.
@@michaellovell2518 I think people who are born with evil feelings definitely exist. There are numerous documentaries on TH-cam about real-life teenagers who became cannibals. These types of instincts don't come from the environment. There's no logical or environmental reason why a well fed teenager should kill and eat a fellow human.
It's worth pointing out that INTJs are the most likely of all types to get interested in the MBTI. We want (perhaps even NEED) to understand everything...including ourselves.
Our Fi makes our emotions and inner workings somewhat enigmatic to us, but then we hear someone else explain it and the light clicks on. To a personality type that is not used to being understood, by themselves or others, it can be illuminating--and somewhat creepy--to hear someone explain the way their mind works.
yes! very well put! our "inner workings somewhat enigmatic to us, but then we hear someone else explain it and the light clicks on"
"To a personality type that is not used to being understood, by themselves or others, it can be illuminating--and somewhat creepy--to hear someone explain the way their mind works." Yes!!!
This is what I needed, thx for saving my time.
Now go join an INTJ group on FB and it's a great way to see out ugly side. You'll know what I mean after about a week in one of those groups. I learned a ton about how I don't want to conduct myself haha.
That's so spot on. I've never been as interested in a personality study as I have been in the MBTI, mainly because it FINALLY helps me understand how my mind works. Especially the intuition and thinking parts. I've always struggled with that, but now I have a better sense of what's going on. And also about how other people think and why. It really helps my communication skills
"My surroundings are boring but I gotta fake reactions so that I look normal in the eyes of other people."
~INTJ
Edit- Boring not in a narcissistic way but boring as in finding it difficult to mingle with people and situations. It's always disappointing to people when I don't react in the way they expect me to be. And it's considered weird and sometimes abnormal and sociopathic, right? We can't be straightforward as well because the truth always hurts to people and we know that very well. But we are also mostly the ones to tell someone bad news and that makes us look like a person with less emotions and weird. I also know when to say sorry but because I'm often right people get annoyed. My surroundings are always predictable so I know when to fake just to look "normal" because that's what the society wants you to be, isn't it?? SO, IF YOU'RE SOMEONE WHO GOT IRRITATED BY MY COMMENT, THEN JUST IGNORE IT. NO NEED TO RETORT. I GET IT!
Yes
YEP
I don t even have to fake it anymore. I always say i am bored. Maybe people are tired of hearing that. I thought my boredom was a type of psychological disorder. Guess is just my personality. I feel i am too intense for people. I am on a different speed. When i feel ,i do with all the intensity. If i could, i d spend all my time searching for solutions to problems. When times come to test my own strategies it gets boring because i already know how is gonna come up. I like developing strategies ,i don t need them.
This entire mbti community is corny as fuck its like the astrology community only with a little bit of atheism.
Can say the same as an INTP
'I'm surrounded by idiots' -Me.
I’ve said that multiple times today
I always feel like that. I'm surrounded by idiots.
Your environment is your choise. If you friendship an idiot which i highly doubt if you're an intj then you'll attract other idiots with you and so on and so on and so on. And soon enough if you get easily influencable which i hope not you may become like those idiots. This is why us INTJ's always tend to be precaucious about our friends and look up on the value of each individual. We dont want to put ourselves in such situations.
Take it like this if we (intj's) cant see your value for our own specific goal in the long term,you just don't exist
Same with me besides me I've never seen an INTJ in my surroundings
🤣
"An INTJ has two choices, become the villian, or become the guide."
Heard it from somewhere, and I'm holding onto it ever since. (Ik it's highly stereotype but it's a thing for sure.)
Bruce wayne / Hannibal Lecter
My friend who is an INTJ had a fortune teller said something very similar to him once. Lol
@@thedirtbag7 Bruce Wayne / Patrick Bateman 😂 same actor but if Bruce Wayne still had his parents and money would turn into Patrick Bateman
@@BIGGELATO Patrick is ESTJ
Or just stay away from people and live in your head.
"They are happy about the future of mankind, as long as they are the ones in charge."
I couldn't agree more. Give me the power, I will create a global Utopia.
the funny part is that utopia is so subjective, it's basically impossible. the perfection that intj's often strive for is many times, simply impossible (which can be really disheartening lol)
Give me the power and I will make everything pastel
Utopia is impossible but go on.
Read Altlas Shrugged
What does this global utopia look like?
INTJs: Assemble!
Please provide the mission statement of the group and suggest sub-teams to deploy on particular components of the mission. Then we'll see if it's worth getting dressed in our outdoor clothing.
I honestly think we should hold yearly meetings. We can call them conventions so people don't think we're a cult or terrorist organization, but yea, they're messing up and we need to come together to make actionable plans that we can get some ENTJs and ESFPs to carryout for us. So many broken systems, so little time!!!
@@jacksonnorth5360 I dunno man... Sounds like a terrorist cult convention to me, even the indoctrination of extroverts to carry out the plans seems extreme.
But sign me up anyway.
Reporting for duty.
You all up for curing a disease or would you rather take nap? I am going to go lie down to give you some time to think about it .
INTJ: “I could listen to you talk (and repeatedly pause the video to deconstruct and consider the implications) for hours” 👏👏👏👏
It’s literally impossible for me to not pause videos or TV series I like to ponder (and make a cup of tea) ~ Nathan
Amen!
True huhu
Least female friendly apartment, sure, unless the female in question is INTJ. 😉
Well I have my room organized by piles of clutter. To most people it's a giant untidy mess...to me it's efficient and organized.
@@micmccond7 They are called ORGANIZED PILES not clutter.
@@micmccond7 As an INFJ, this statement is so me :=p. INTPs apparently can't understand! ~
I know where most things are! ~
In fact, out of sight is out of mind for me, my mind is so wierd, that if I can't see it, I will forget that I own it, and never use it again.
Putting anything away where I can't see it, or heaven's forbid the attic, is death. I will rebuy the same item forgetting that I already own it, or simply forget it exists entirely.
I'm already only 10% here as an INFJ anyway, with 90% of my head trapped in the spiritual higher realms of clouds! ~
Lunastaria SpiritDiva Huuuuuhhhhh?
I don't know ANYONE who understands the concept of an organized pile like an INTP. And I'm a *female* INTP.
Like, if I know I'm gonna have guests I might organize in a way where OTHERS would also use that descriptor, that could be the differencebetween INTP and INTJ, but if you were to see my room in its, ah, "natural state"?
…
😂 you might only know where my bed is because the pile is higher and there's space for a body 😂
The moment he said the in-sync devices in that house I was like, oh that’s cool! M an INTJ😂
Oh yes. Female INTJ here. I especially resonated with the technology part. I see technology as being wonderful but I always foresee it being used badly. So am I a technophile or a technophobe? *L*
You are a rare technophobophile :)
Me too
I'm INFP but I came to the same conclusion, I like technology but some of it is unnecessary or more detrimental than useful to improving humanity. I think most people don't look at technology in a rational way in the modern world.
It sounds like you’re more afraid of people than you are of technology.
Ok boomer
When you said that INTJs despise having to react to something in a specific way. That is so true. When I was little I despised birthdays simply because there would be presents and I would feel pressure to be happy and excited about presents I didn't know if I would be excited about and that gave me so much stress I decided to not have birthday parties. Even now I only enjoy receiving gifts if I can be authentic. If I hate the gift I wanna say it and have the person not be upset. I have to really trust the person for them to give me a gift.
Good we have 'that' common on birthdays, but if a friend insist of gifting something I usually tell them that I get to choose what gift should be and I get what I need.
I don't know how to accept and react someone's goodwill but I will do anything to help my close ones (but from behind the scenes without making them know that I help them bc they will somehow feel they owe me ) 🤭
Very true. I always insist on having no birthday parties coz it's such a pressure to thank each and everyone every other minute.
I actually hate receiving gifts for this reason. I'd rather people just write me a check for my birthday or Christmas or whatever else.

haha i have
I for a good while thought about carving the moon into the shape of a toilet; a constant reminder of where all great ideas are made.
I have
because that would be utterly useless... rather ingraving an eye so that people feel subconsciously reminded that their every action could be monitored so they would finally start thinking about their actions ( -᷅_-᷄) at least in a clear night (⊼⌔⊼ )
Feelings are controlling and irrational. They don't follow reality, nor morality. You cannot see what's real if you're angry, sad, happy or scared. They create illusions. But I realize, there is no mind without heart. If you didn't feel, you wouldn't care to think. There is a time and place for opening your heart. We usually do it in a comfortable environment. That is why we value home so much. You are more likely to catch your irrationality when you are alone. I've chosen to live for morality. What I've noticed is the ignorance of people. Choosing to step into peoples lives constantly is dangerous, every action you choose in your life is out of control, you're bound to affect someone negatively. The one thing I'm still unsure of. Is it better for people to live blissful ignorant, or hopelessly aware?
Feelings are irrational. Emotions can be rational and thus useful in motivation. I don’t become more feeling at home, I become more emotional at home, because home is where I find motivation. It is best suited towards any long term goal to be aware, but if it’s hopeless awareness, and the prospect of reaching the goal is none, there’s no goal driven reason not to be ignorant.
@@ohboy1113 It seems more often than not that emotions come with feelings. Maybe not as much for fe inferior. But when something hits you hard it's probably safe to assume your minds going to be affected. I'm pretty sure it has something to do with instincts, which aren't controlled consciously. Wouldn't really be adept at controlling that if we were to assume INTJ's "Feel" less. Actually no I'd definitely be able to control it if I didn't deem it less than rare. Really depends on if I'm focusing on something else. I don't think it would be hard to catch yourself feeling rage(though the unlikely circumstances).
What I mean about aware or ignorant: most people you talk to are not IN and therefore would not be used to knowing the secrets of existence or life. If you came across an ignorant believer in Christianity, would it be more moral to let them live on in their happy world or, somehow manage to convince them what's real? Just an example.
Nightcrawler GAP If they deem their goal not to be understanding the universe, they won’t understand it even if you endeavor to explain it, so either way is fine, you’re just waisting your breath.
I just assume I can't trust anyone except those I know on a good day, a bad day, and a very bad day. It's important to listen and the less you share with people you're unsure you can trust...the less vunerable you will be.
@@nightcrawlergap1733 absolutely I'd leave the Christian to believe what they believe. I don't think convincing people about faith and beliefs is the point of an intj. But I find myself often to provoke and stimulate people to think outside the societal boundaries, especially those who struggle in that boundary.
As an INTJ, I always think about how to achieve my dreams in the most righteous way possible. But when I try to work over something, I always observe what happens around me. Through my observations, I always come up to the same conclusion - everything we do for this thing called life is fake, dictated by the society. Freedom is not real because since you were a newborn, the society has embedded unto you a certain way of thinking and behaving. Heck, I think I'm not an INTJ because I'm an INTJ. Becoming an INTJ has been influences by things I've learned and experienced. That means I am an INTJ because the society made me to become one. I dont know if that makes sense but yeah.
makes perfect sense to a fellow INTJ
What freedom has society taken from you?
Hell yes i think about this all the time, ENTP here
I was raised in an extremely catholic family, yet i was an atheist by the age of 10. I'm me not because of what society wants me to think, but because of my personal way of looking at things with my own brain, and i think the same goes for everyone (at least for every overthinker).
JAJAJAJAJAJA...😁
"Happy with the future of mankind, as long as they're in charge"
Basically, yeah.
Amen ~ Nathan
See, it's a very simple answer, if you're confused whether you're an INTJ or not. :-
You're different, so much different. You feel like An alien, people think you're, but also you have a confidence that you can do something great other than just being a thinking statue all the time. Keep improving.
Me as an intj reminding my self to smile so I don’t scare others off
same - intj
I think we INTJs need to project our will into the environment/external world
That’s just a means to an end, however. I would phrase it more like ‘we sculpt the external world for our purpose’.

This is brilliantly put! Thank you for this comment and I hope you enjoyed the video ~ Nathan
This is so beautiful. I'm INTJ and my boyfriend ENFP. It's so cute to know how it feels like from your point of view
I'm an ENFP and my ex is an INTJ. Though we didn't work out, I have immense respect for him and his intellect. A moderate and healthy INTJ will value deep thoughts and far-flung reasonings or ideas, something that ENFP thrives on. Our conversations are usually very deep and meaningful. INTJs can sometimes give the "reality check" that ENFPs need.
With Fi function in the third slot also makes INTJ pretty compassionate beings once you get to be close to them.
Definitely one of my most favorite personality type!
I'm an INTJ and you just made my day. It's nice to know that someone sees beyond our no-emotion shell
I'm ENFP with INTJ partner.
He keeps me on balance, he is very calm, down to earth, rational, methodical. A very good listener. He gives me the stability I need, never had any reason to doubt his commitment and devotion.
On the other end, I keep him lively and open to possibilities. I'm passionate, a free spirit, talkative, adventurous and curious. I make sure he has a social life as well, although I also have a need to retire from social life, so I'm not too pushy.
I'm true and sincere, the open-book type with hidden chapters he always loves to explore.
We share many hobbies, we love to discuss about anything, and he told me I "opened his eyes and expanded his world". Thanks to me he is more in touch with his emotions, while thank to him I find a safe place when my emotions take over. I really saw a transformation in both of us during the years; we both became more stable, lovely, health and overall better people. We have our differences but our communication and chemistry is so good, they are not a problem for us. His pet name for me is "my little ray of sunshine" and I absolutely love it.
Best relationship ever, can't wait to spend my life with him.
Very nice description of your relationship :)! I was very delighted and empowered as INTJ :) Enjoy each other and your lifes together :)!
I can't agree more with this video being an INTJ myself. It feels nice to be recognised as a personality type rather than a weirdo.
Potato 👁❤️☝️🥔

Maybe you’re also a weirdo? 🤔
This explains my need for world domination.
It also makes sense you have an INTJ friend being an ENTP.
Yea, until you get toppled down by the next best thing. Efficiency.

Hi INTJ gang, female here
Long story short of my experience grown up like this: “bookworm weirdo who tries to correct and teach everyone the right way to do things just to realize they are surrounded by idiots”
All my life I've been feeling quite bad for thinking of myself as superiorly intellectual lol, but it is really nice to know it's not as bad as I thought and of course, as well as fictional characters (which I love), THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE LIKE ME
It's comforting
And yes we are lazy (I read some other comments saying this)
I rather work with my mind than doing stuff involving humans
Oh my god I am only 16 and I never related to anyone like this.
@@angeliinxa You make me feel so old omg 🤣 I'm 28 now

"The project he's been working on, every day, for years...." >_>
I'll finish it eventually...
Yes, one of my weaknesses used to be “not knowing how to jumpstart my big ideas”. But, at 40 now, I’ve learned to be my own “motive power”. I create the vision, put together the plans, gather the resources (human or capital), and start and get going. What comes across as “procrastination” is really a high level, “unconscious processing & gathering” of information. We run “tests” for possible flaws in our mind way before we even disclose our plan to others. Once the plan is revealed, trust me, it’s perfecto. I guarantee it. Although, we don’t make “B plans”, but if our current plan runs into a wall, we automatically recognize the “variables” at play and we did consider those too and no worries, HER IS A NEW PLAN. Wow, you say! How do you do that? Well, I ask myself the same question. Those who know me either fear me or have reverence for me, not that it’s even necessary. It’s something I’ve noticed. I will always have the last laugh, if you mess with me. WE ALWAYS HAVE THE LAST LAUGH because we know and shit coming across the Atlantic Ocean. 😂🤣. It’s kinda “uncanny”. My mind makes its own plans to save me and help me without my conscious involvement. It’s like having an “omniscient/omnipotent” mentor/bodyguard. I always feel safe no matter what is going on around me.
Absolutely spot on! I'm a female INTJ here. 😂

Another spot on video, continues to fuel my fond for the INTJs. Being the chaos that I am, I'm fascinated with their ways of setting order to their environment. I also find them quite gentle and caring despite the bluntness (I'm INTP)

Funny you find intjs amusing as being the "chaos" that you are, they would probably consider you a nuisance.
@@glennn6386 lol they actually do, but that doesn't mean they are not chaos themselves, I have fun observing

(INFP) An ex-partner of mine was INTJ. We shared this dynamic of otherworldly foresight/accomplishment. She would devise a plan to the end but struggle to execute it when things didn't go as such. I on the other hand, could not decide my way out of a wet paper bag...
It's as if I would help her off of the ground by the hand and she would begin walking forward holding onto it.
@@NathanJGlass I'm an intj and my older sister is an infp. I'm ambitious and like quick results. When we work together she's just daydreams, while I stress over getting my ideal result. We don't arrange( or however you spell it) but I always in up p*$$

My partner is indecisive too but for me that is just really frustrating lol
“The least female-friendly apartment,” that is, unless she’s an INTJ herself! 😆
Using Fe to mock-compliment narcissists (to troll them, if they’re being assholes)is a LOT of fun! It’s a productive way of using this much-maligned tool w/o ever feeling gross about it. 👌
I'm an INTJ architect currently learning how to implement augmented reality into urban areas...so it checks out.
Really?
You sound suspiciously like a guy I dated he’s a software engineer who is transforming 3 d virtual reality. Intj are very similar with their interests. How do you win an intj heart?
@@goddessravenlovelife7452 Consider asking the person to coffee/lunch, etc. After coffee, the person will be analyzing the interaction for around 30 hrs and come up with a plan for you.
You can ease things along by negotiating a date/time for the next encounter by the end of the current event. The next meeting should be after one weekend at least so there is time to consider the perfect shirt/pants/socks combination.
During the next date, at some point directly say something like "I like you. Think about it and let me know if you feel the same some time this week."
Asking "would you like to hold hands?" will cause your hand to stay held outside of extreme circumstances.
In a relationship, always keep your partner informed. If you forget or mess something up, DO NOT hide it. If you want/like something, mention it off handed. Remember to give your partner space to contemplate.
😀
@@goddessravenlovelife7452 Do research on tech and ideas and present those to INTJ in a plate. Nothing pleases INTJs more than ideas and tech.
@@goddessravenlovelife7452 you try to cut his heart out of his chest and then realize that he doesn't have one
The intuition part is quite accurate.
When I work in a group project, I formulate everything but somehow, I don't really know how... It sounds like a cumbersome job to some of the people in the group or sometimes they enter the state of utter bewilderment. When in reality they hadn't been listening to the actual plan with any signs of seriousness.
After systematically planning I don't ever double doubt myself. The only time I double doubt myself after planning is when others are questioning my way of thinking and repeatedly stating that, "Planning is unnecessary." Even if we have got ample time in our hands! (It's because they don't tend to think analytically. In my opinion obviously.) Which isn't really helpful, it builds a lack of coordination within the group. So in such cases, I start making prompt decisions. Nonetheless, my precise initiation does what it's meant to do and I find it to be absolutely delightful! I love to see other people's faces when I prove them wrong and then they also realize that I was right the whole time! Thanks for reading this far! Have a fabulous day fellow INTJ.
Excellent points and very informative! Thank you! ~ Nathan

INTJs should read "The Fountainhead" by Ahn Rand. Howard Roark, the main character, is (in my opinion) the embodiment and success of an INTJ.
@@NathanJGlass She is a famous INTJ, indeed.
oof 😬
For those who want a summary:
Howard Roark is an architect with radical designs for buildings. Society shuns him, is appalled by his creations, and the story focuses on the world constantly antagonizing him. However, Howard is stern and persistent in living his life in his way and not the way others' want him to live. He loves his craft.
Its theme is very powerful and focuses on how one strives for an objective despite whatever the world/society thinks.

This, my man, is the best ever INTJ description I've ever seen.... You just said everything on point. And that guitar point drove it home for me. It was almost like somebody took what I'm thinking of how to explain why I'm like I am and just vocalised it to perfection. Big thumbs up. 👍👍🤘
I think we can all take a lesson from ants (efficiency being priority) and have less emotional baggage. Man to I wish I had an INTJ partner in crime.

I have been retaking the Myers Briggs test every 2 years for 12 years. I started as a logician and as I got older I shifted firmly to intj. Personalities aren't always constant we are shaped by our experiences.
your personality type changes because you are using myers Briggs, you should be using cognitive functions. Sakinorva is an accurate test u could use
When I first discovered MBTI as a teenager about a decade ago, my result would be INTP, however as I grew older I've been moving further towards INTJ. It seems to have settled however, as I took the test again a couple of days ago having next to no changes since last time, at 51% judging. These days, I'm frankly not certain whether I can classify myself as either or; I see myself a lot in both.
I just started watching his INTJ playlist. I would usually just watch his tier list, INTP, and STJ videos, but there's something vague around his descriptions for INTJs that shooked myself who is so used to the INTP manual. This is def interesting 🤔
Six monitors? I have three and am planning on a fourth. Might have to rethink that.
FYI, best explanation of an INTJ by a non-INTJ.
This is so true😂
Uh yeah you can...
What is the cost to benefit ratio...it's not efficient to have a really beefy computer...just to run 6 monitors...when windows 10 has built in functionality for you to have multiple desktop screens with their own windows.... seriously...I guess some intj's have lower standards of efficiency than others....
@@micmccond7 Or they have lower standards of capability. Windows 10 is shit, so play on your tablet PC experience. I still use Windows 7 because I have a lot more control. K. Cost Benefit has zero to do with how an INTJ operates. It's Cost Time. But you're not an INTJ, so take care.
@@witHonor1 so what am I then? If I plan to get somewhere in traffic I have 4 alternative paths I can think of to get to my destination....and I think about how to improve that every single day. intj is still a few million...and your bias is stiflingly.
@@micmccond7 How is it this is the first time I'm learning about virtual desktops in Win10?!?!? This INTJ thanks you ^_^
This was pleasant. Please do content on INTJ females, the rare unicorns
i wish my familiy and friends considered me an unicorn as well =/
I love intjs, I have a ton of intj friends and my dad is intj. I'm an enfp and it's like we even each other out like enfp is chaos and intj is organization. So like enfp can bring intj out of their shell and have fun. And intj can help enfp be more structured and organized.
Hi INTJ here, I'm new to MBTI, and I really want to understand my friends and people's close to me but of course I don't know everyone's MBTI, so I wanted to ask How did you know that your dad and friends are INTJ I mean did they themselves tell you like you discuss about it and all........?
@@catchurtrainb4its2l82 I just asked them
@@vg2324 oh ok Ty😊
@@catchurtrainb4its2l82 no worries
As an intj i constantly find the agreeable personality trait in people to be excessively annoying. Agreeable people are not willing to become better or challenge things in ways that would doubtlessly improve them. They in general are just inefficient people who simply will not work for improvement. Furthermore i truly enjoy intellectual challenges and trying to have an argument with a hyper agreeable person is a painful experience. Even if they are intelligent they are unwilling to let it show and their pure lack of self is something that i sincerely disrespect.
"They're happy for the future of mankind as long they're the ones in charge" so accurate 😂
I totally get it." style is the gateway to substance" reminds me of those Scriptures that say " be all things to all men(2 Corinthians 9:22). And Colossians 4:6 "Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt".... We can't be hard on people.
Yes.
„This is the least female friendly apartment“ xD
I'm an INTP and your description of your friend's apartment makes me wanna date him.
I'm not even going to try to speak to whether it's "generally" female friendly- I mean some women would want to change it and like a challenge so I don't know about an absolute like that- but THIS female's eyes would light up at the idea of not having to stop gaming to take a 💩
😂🤣
Lordly lord... you guys sound like you're made for each other ~ Nathan
"Knocking him down won the first fight. I wanted to win all the next ones, too. So they'd leave me alone." ~ Ender Wiggin
Elon musk has INTJ personality type. It makes sense.
I doubt that as everything he makes explodes.
0:00 - 0:43 The conclusion before going further (“… as long as they’re in charge”) had me spilling my tea; I don’t do that. Never did. That’s how hard that truth hit.
I laughed unconscious at that part and then i thought 'wow when did i become a psycho'
Female INTJ here struggling with “delivery” of criticism. I often am called aggressive or condescending when in my eyes I am telling the truth in the most professional way possible. I also have no regard for “structure,” especially a work hierarchy. I hyper-focus on problem solving; certainly if it’s in my benefit or in the benefit of something I am passionate about.
You philosophy is probably that the truth is inherently a good thing, not everyone agrees with that philosophy (crazy right?). Analyse what works over time, experiment with altering your delivery and see if it gets you better results! ~ Nathan
I don’t understand that personally, so it’s hard to empathize with those that do not appreciate honest feedback. But if there is not a happy staff there is not an efficient staff so, I do understand that part is necessary. It doesn’t make it easier! Oh well!
I've been called heartless, cold, creepy, I'm a INFP BTW.
I've been going through these videos and it feels so good to know there's people who understand what we are
as an INFP, i often have rly good chemistry with INTJs and admire them for their logic and ambition, but sometimes they can be dismissive or even condescending without realizing, and it can hurt.
Ex: my mom is an INTJ and although we get along usually, sometimes she doesn't get my interests.
I feel like INTJs can be both very progressive but also adverse to new perspectives, if they're convinced their way is right. Which makes sense, considering their Ni.
In general though, i really like them! Their teritiary Fi seems to always be present in the background, which is nice-esp compared to their ENTJ counterparts.
I think that INTJs and INFPs are actually better suited for each other than INFPs and ENTJs, or INTJs and ENFPs, because you're not trying to mash two opposites together. The INFPs Ne compliments the INTJ Ni, they have in common the Fi function, and they both value their individuality.
stereotypical infp rant over lmfao
as an INFP with an INTJ partner, your videos, such as this one, give me an insight into my partner's worldview that is simply invaluable. I feel like our relationship has gotten better once I came to understand some of his traits better, too. So thank you!
Most of the time I feel bored or rarely ever feel any positive emotions. So I just spend time playing video games or reading to entertain myself. I just can’t seem to feel emotions except negative ones.
Thats depression.
"Style is the gateway to substance." That was very good, I will incorporate this into my thought processes from now on.
I have really enjoyed your videos since you started making appearances on this channel. Looking forward to the next one.
INTJ is by far my favorite type!
As an INFJ, firstly I began looking into them out of curiosity; "what would I be like if Thinking dominated instead of Feeling?". And the more I read about them, the more similaires I see between us. My dear friend who is more like an older brother to me is an INTP and I think him being such a big part of my life shaped me into being more logical or at least made me value rationality a lot; perhaps, that's the reason why even as a Feeling type, I still find INTJ-s pretty relatable with the main difference them being rather discreet in comparison (which I respect). Too bad this type is perceived as villainous when they are just more honest, straightforward and aren't afraid to question "the norms".
But anyway, thanks to all the admirable INTJ-s, you're amazing! (even though I don't have to tell you that for you to know it, lmao)
Loving to hear your ideas!
Please keep up! :)
Awesome insight! Subscribed! Anyway thanks squad for making me feel normal and there are people having the same struggles I face daily.
3:30 I fear no man but that thing.. it scares me
We're not that bad. :)
@@missbored8710 NiFi loop is scary when its triggered. I always end up doing things I wouldnt do in my right mind.
As an INTJ and a musician, what you said about learning an instrument (and basically any skill I try to learn) is really really true. It finally made sense to me.
U should do a video about personality pairs ones that pair well and onse that are polar opposite
@@NathanJGlass ur doing God's work brother
Great video, love your channel. Thanks for amazing content.
So well said!!
I agree about the style/substance speech. I've reached that point. I spent 2 years not worrying about clothes and going to work dressing the same clothes but I understood that I can influence people better with the right clothes in this visual world. I can't deny it. Some people will believe me better if I look like someone reliable.
But I have to admit that it's tiring to keep that. Most of times I'm just lazy and t-shirt and blue jeans and flats, ponytail wash face and go. 🤷🏼♀️
Let's make it practical.
@@NathanJGlass yeah I know, and I imagined someone would answer that haha.
I've taken tests at least 5 time over the last 8 years, all results say INTJ. I have some of the qualities described in this video, but, holy crap! the computer guy? No way! Not me. I see computer and AI technology and most definitely, our dependence on it as placing our civilization in a very dangerous place. I also like to drink beer, tell dirty jokes, and cuss like a sailor when I'm not engaged in my nerdy hobbies.
I just started a job...and it gave me so much anxiety that the managers didn't want me to learn the way the systems work first and wanted me to be thrown into completing these assessments/the actual work and then she got upset that I didn't present it correctly and called me out in front of my co-worker and the "customer"..when I wasn't shown or trained how to do it...I explained to her that I really need manuals to read through, things explained in steps, so that I can be alone to process it, complete it and do it. Very frustrating to work with people that are not into following processes to train someone and just throw you into the work. I survived and nailed the last 2 of the 6 that I had to do...but it still frustrates me. I like clear systems.
"Style is the gateway to substance" :( sadly. still my biggest struggle.
Think it as packaging/camouflage to gain the trust of the herd. If they accept you as one of their own, they may follow where you lead.
Everyone here has spoken out all my thoughts.. The video has satisfied my curiosity immensely. I'll continue delving into this personality type as often as I can ~
Feel free to check out the other videos on INTJs on this channel. There’s plenty of them and they go in depth! ~ Nathan
INTJs ... i.e. The problem solvers who are content to let others figure out the details. I mean, we already gave you the end solution, now you go make it happen because I have other things to think about ... in this corner ... by myself.
Wow. I feel SEEN. This is an impressive display of empathy to inhabit the minds of INTJs so seamlessly.
Had to look up "iconoclastic".... seems pretty accurate for me lol
I'm an INTJ (29, female) and recently got my master's in public health concentrating in global health. I am a nonfiction junkie. And it includes a broad range of categories. I have read about half a dozen books on AI. When doing research for a nutrition policy group I ended up bringing in the use of algorithms and machine learning in the topic I was researching. And the effort efficiency thing is true as well. I also love my electronic gadgets.
Inferior Se and polar Fe sound familiar. I often get annoyed with what I view as arbitrary social norms and have been described as blunt by some but refreshingly honest by others. My personal version of the 9th circle of hell is a crowded night club with extremely loud music and being cold.
@@NathanJGlass I'm quite the unicorn :P
INTJ here. I actually like clubs. The flickering lights, the loud music, and the people are sensory overload for me - in a good way. I am like a child ooh-ing at the lights and other decorations on a Christmas tree. It is certainly not good for me every day, or even every weekend, but I appreciate that little shock to my system from time to time (once a month or so). It reminds me I am still alive.
Also, I never love my quiet apartment more than after a night out at a club (or coming home from conferences or seminars as well). :)
@4:47 It's not hard to have a universal way to live. What's impossible is getting the majority of people to actually understand it let alone DO it.
Very good description!! This was great. I feel understood for the first time :D.
Its funny when people want to say they dont see me as Ni dom (all that Se aspirational distracts them)
because literally EVERYTHING I do in my life is BECAUSE of my Ni and in service of manifesting everything I am working on.
The companies I am working on have 40+ year projections, everything I am doing is leading up to something that is
connected to something else I am doing.
I saw a meme once calling INTJ's collectors.. but one of the things about us it said was:
"Will low key become a billionaire building a company no one has even heard of"
and seriously..... its true.
These videos are all really accurate, why have you been hiding behind the scenes for so long!
Jess Britvec
Why are you hiding, Jess 😌😌
Nathan Glass
I’m not hiding! I’m right here
Hannah Mathilda 😂 I’ve seriously though about it, but I don’t have the time, especially now with my new job.
Jess Britvec
Same....i just got a new job, but I’ll get creative with the time. 🧐I wonder if Nathan ever has bloopers in his videos. He seems like some programmed robot spitting facts out
Hannah Mathilda I feel like he is the gatekeeper of bloopers and will never show any compromising footage of himself, only of everyone else.
Intj woman here.I would say that expressing the emotions is much hard for me.I wanted to cry but I can't.Nothing make me feel better.2 months later,I've this guy and become closed to her.I know how to express the feelings easily but she betrayed me trust and feeling broken for the first time.
Solutions:I decided to walk away from her and not to meet with her.If she need me,The thing I could do is stare.just state and nothing else
I’m an esfp who’s married to an intj going on 14 years, together for 20. I came across an mbti expert on TH-cam who brushed off this pairing as a fluke. I was insulted because, unlike my husband, I care about convention and what other’s think. Don’t extroverts need introverts? I feel we’re a pretty balanced couple, both empathetic to each other’s needs.
As long as you both are putting in the effort to understand and empathize with eachother, any contradicting traits in personality can be overcome. 💫 The fact that you are seeking to understand your husband on a deeper level, and gain insight into his personality, is already evidence that the relationship has the underlying motivations in making it work.
Chantal X I retested and found out I am enfp.
@@cgarcia660 That is good news. ENFPs and INTJs are the ideal match, so there's a greater likelihood that you'll be able to understand your husband on an intuitive level, and hence easier to achieve harmony. This could be an interesting source to read on the INTJ-ENFP dynamic: www.personality-central.com/relationships/intj-enfp-relationship . Let me know if you were able to relate to any of the parts 😊
That “finding the best method that works for me” just shocked me!
Thanks for the horoscope.
Anytime, make to watch it each day so it stays up to date! ~ Nathan
My partner is an INTJ (in an infj). He has one of the most interesting and brilliant minds I’ve ever met. I absolutely love learning his every little thought.
Yes. I have found myself most relateable to the INTJ and have had the results come up as INTJ many times. However after learning the dynamics of the personalities I can manipulate the test to get the results I want now. Btw, I like what you said about how we try to work through things with an ultimate introverted goal of making things "better". Its kind of why I went to med school to become a psychiatrist. Haha. Thank you for this video.
strategically , logically out maneuvering the opponent and attaining irrational goals .Could'nt have been more truer
I figured INTJs would like that ~ Nathan
I fundamentally reject that style & substance are equal.
For some reason I will never comprehend, a great many people think theses things are equal.
Yes, at times, to not be a total failure in life, we are required to display the completely arbitrary and meaningless styles society requires.
That does NOT mean we believe it. I just means the ignorant masses do.
Agreed as well, however if you're implying that he said they are equal, he didn't. He said it is teh "gateway" to substance, and I can see why for me(being an INTP), and probably for many others, our system 1 is often making these kinds of judgments before we(what we usually see as we, being system 2) have any say in it.
That's true but when the goal is to present substance to emotionally driven person then style is just another important obstacle that needs to be solved and therefore in that situation, they are equal.
Style & substance-or form & function-are two ways of saying the same thing.
I don’t think one has to be sacrificed for the other. They’re NOT mutually-exclusive. I think of this from a design standpoint. Let’s say that an engineer designs something that works, but is ugly AF, and a designer creates a pretty object that’s admired and coveted for its beauty, but it either doesn’t do anything, or does it poorly. It doesn’t have to be one or the other. The right mind, or MINDS, can fulfill all aspects of design & engineering.
We’re wired to want both-at least, some of us. Do you remember when trash cans has to be hidden away because they were so hideously utilitarian and dirty-looking? When the company Simple Human came along and created these high-quality designer trash cans, people were willing to pay $200 for a garbage receptacle. They can leave these out to be admired for their timeless and versatile beauty.
In other words, they ARE equal because we value both equally, when done well.
Style being the gateway to substance is one of the best pieces of advice I've ever received as an INTJ. The sky is the limit now. Thanks!
Yet this information could fall into the wrong INTJ hands; that's scary. Talk about an evil mastermind.
Probably the most underrated channel I’ve come across. Not exaggerating either.
Style. Is the Gateway to Substance.
I love your channel.
This has given me an idea for my Smart Home setup i am working on talking about computers in Bathrooms. I wonder if Alexa can flush a toilet, I need to watch some more TH-cam now.
omg i read you can but it costs alot and i am wanting to do my Alexa setup on a budget lol it will be a small fortune by the looks of this Alexa stuff that you can get.
@@elonmust8859 As far as I know Alexa just can listen, watch, record and save what is happening in the bathroom, not flush the toilet yet. But you´ll figure out a way to make this happen, I am sure about that, and btw. you can add a feature to directly livestream each session on yt and twitch. To monetize this you just need to mix in a computer generated voice that speaks the text: Please support us via Patreon and get very special insights.
