INTJs often don't like praise because other people's standards are rarely, if ever, as high as their own. So to hear "good job" from someone, even someone in a position of authority, is relatively meaningless to an INTJ. "Yep, I know," is our internal (and sometimes external) response. It's actually MUCH more endearing to be critical of our work, because if we actually haven't thought of something or have made a mistake, we want to know that so that we do not make that mistake again. You gain much more respect from an INTJ by pointing out something they've missed, because it happens to us so rarely.

I've been berated by people so many times who say thank you to me and I either nod or I say no problem. They expected, "you're welcome" as is custom, but I hate customs to begin with. If you didn't challenge me, then I really don't care that I solved your problem, I think even at 38 I still give people more credit than they deserve. If you present a problem that I have to think about and solve, then when you say thank you, I say no, thank you. I know this comment looks condescending to most people, but this is how my brain processes that type of interaction. Just to add to the condescension, if you berate me, I don't even care. If you ever ask for help again, I will consider whether solving the problem is worth putting up with you again, but most of the time I just like solving problems anyway.

What really SUCKS is that in America the whole ‘do you get along in a team?’ question is DEATH to an INTJ (especially female like myself). It’s really unfair to us as INTJs that we basically have to force ourselves to be “likeable” in order to make it in the work world. Especially if you’re like me and want to be in the Human Services fields. Now I have learned over time to just fake it and pretend I’m interested when I’m not necessarily into the person. It takes a lot of mental real estate to make sure everyone else around me is emotionally okay and I ‘get along’ with everyone. This is likely why INTJs end up needing our own stuff and careers so we don’t have to force ourselves to be in a group that we don’t want to be in. We like groups but only if we choose to BE in the group. Being forced to be in a group for the sake of it is a problem.

Great point. Doubt is our kryptonite. Everyone (INTJs included) see everyone else through their own cognitive process order. We all think everyone else should think just like us and we all try to make others be just like us. From the INTJ perspective (and introverts in general) extroverted feelers tend to shout the loudest which can leave the INTJ questioning why we can't just fit into the "non-thinking" world majority. And to the point the co-host continues to press, many people do like to work for us once they figure out we can help them fill their gaps just like the extroverted feeler (MC and SME) helps us (by doing work like this podcast). We are reluctant leaders because we know most people say they want to improve, but would rather talk about how the problem makes them feel than the solution which requires rational processing.

This is quite the ironic response, don't you think? Not rigid at all (tongue placed firmly in cheek). My statement is mostly embedded in the way INTJ's are perceived, as you have eloquently displayed here. I find that many INTJ's are quite rigid in their thinking (as compared to other personality types). Not, because they are not open to finding new solutions, but because they believe they have already considered all the solutions. So, when someone brings new information the source can sometimes be considered before the content. Therefore the idea of someone who has been erratic, emotionally charged, or nonsensical in the past, might very well be discounted before being considered. I acknowledge that this is a broad generalization. While you are correct that they open to new information, that information goes through a lot of rigor and scrutiny (as maybe it should) before being justly considered. Meanwhile content can be overlooked. There is a light and dark side to every personality type. Once we embrace both we can find the healthiest versions of ourselves.

It's sad how many employers equate being introverted as being unassertive, incompetent or simply a wild beast who doesn't understand social dynamics. Funny how they talk about diversity so much and yet in terms of personality they're all the same (E's and F's in my profession) and self select. They don't realise that other types could add a lot of value to the process and decision making. A little bit of strategic thinking and logic could hell them out. Needless to say I am experienced in group work and I know how to successfully collaborate

Dennis, unfortunately I have to agree with you. Too often leaders are looking for people that make them feel comfortable and encouraging towards their agenda. "Yes-people" as I call them are too often not who you need in a crisis. Moreover, those who are willing to thoughtfully tell the truth, without jumping over one another may very well help keep you out of a crisis. Thank you for your response.

Thank you for your podcast! This was pretty spot on in a lot of areas. Just need to correct something said here. In several of the descriptions, it seems like the speaker is describing an immature or young INTJ. For example, it's pretty obvious that to get the best out of our team we are going to need to learn how to explain the plan well to them and take their feelings into account out of respect for them as human beings. I am actually extremely good at explaining, teaching and training and am often called upon to do so at work (and back in college as well). I have conducted several trainings over new software to various teams and I have always thought this was one of the skills that INTJs do best, being able to take the complex and help others understand it. Just yesterday I was told that I am the "nicest and easiest person to work with". She is a colleague a level above me (she's a manager and I'm not) and had been asking for my advice in composing a business process document. The other members on our team have been more impatient with her but I saw no point in that. I just wanted to help her so we could get the job done and get it done well. The other 2 members of the team are my managers (her peers) and are an ENTP and an ISFJ and they have had a TON of frustration working with her. But I have actually been the one who succeeded in smoothing some things over and try to help everyone not get too worked up but instead stay focused on getting the best product possible and not underestimating her or questioning her motives. And it paid off because she came out finally with a good product that she just needed a little explanation and encouragement to achieve. The INTJ DOES recognize that it is important to try to understand people's feelings. Not only do we CARE about the feelings of others, but we recognize that is just part of achieving the goal which is usually to make the world a better place in one way or another. And the world includes people who have feelings so it's stupid of an INTJ to ignore that variable. Now, granted, it's not our first go-to thought when we are in the middle of our "zone". But when we are acting deliberately, we DO take people's feelings into account, at least I do as a 51-year old female INTJ. I studied psychology in college and have continued to do so my entire life because I was driven and desired to understand people and improve my relationships. Granted, I did not have a clue about people's feelings when I was younger simply because it just wasn't on my radar nor would I have ever expected people to walk on eggshells around me. That never would have crossed my mind. But a mature INTJ will definitely have learned the value of feelings, their own and those of others. If we find out we've hurt someone, it DOES make us feel bad because we are always trying to do good in the world and the last thing we want is to hurt somebody. We just get oblivious to people's feelings sometimes simply because our focus is on solving some problem and we get that tunnel vision there.

INTJ here, for me it's not so much about success. It's about that long shot, from an idea to a physical result, such a long shot with so many variables and possibilities, yet somehow I made it happen. What a beautiful journey. I am obsessed with time. From movies, to physics, and how I make decisions is based on this concept of time. My favorite character would be Dr. Manhattan from "Watchmen". What an absolutely breath taking ability, to see not only into the future but also all of the possibilities that lead up to it.

INTJ here. I dislike being in teams because I don't care about formalities and being friends, I want the job done as well as possible so I can go home. I expect you to play your role and get your job done without any management. If I feel you are dragging behind, my first inclination is to leave you. I trust in my own ability to move ahead and figure things out as I go along. I'm open-minded to change as long as the person giving me that opinion is intelligent and has a track record of being consistent and dependable. I loathe incompetent people giving advice and opinions.I also dislike middle management and politics. Prove to me that you deserve my most valuable resource, my time, and I will pay attention to you. If you have a history of fucking up, I won't say anything mean or seek revenge, but you're now a ghost to me. I don't care where you went to school, your years of experience, or even your intelligence. I have this thing where people need to prove their merit through their actions to get my full attention and involvement. If they fail in this regard, I simply ignore them or I leave.

"I have forgotten more than you will ever know" that's a really good quote. We INTJs are constantly learning things, more so than probably any other type just because of the fact that we're introverted combined with our cynical minds where we don't like people. We put great value on how competent we are and how much we know, but because of this and not liking most people, we get the idea that we are better than most people. The reason being is that even though we're egotistical, we make objective observations and decisions rather than being a sheep like the mass of people are who are easily manipulated and value their social life and living in the moment more than their inner identify. They're not driven to learn to improve like we are.

I've tested as an INTJ-A twice out of 2 times taking the test in the past 3 years. I identify with every single characteristic of this type. I'd like to know, do any other INTJ's feel like they are the best actor/actress in the world, just out of survival, in situations like work, social gatherings and phone calls? Also, how do you cope with being divided in 2 essentially between being an analyst and being creative? Early in my work life I began to realize that in jobs, I always feel like one side of me is severely neglected. I've settled on appealing to the strategist side in my career but feel like my creative side is suffocated, to the point that it's nearly soul-crushing.
@malcolmdmuir54085 жыл бұрын
A little correction to a descriptive comment about INTJ folks. It's not that we are purely 'creative' in our thought processing in a particular area or on a particular item, as we rarely invent anything brand new. What we excel at, is the great ability to take what already exists, be it an object or theory, and to dissect and analyse what ever it is, and make it better. That is, much more efficient and practical for OTHERS with-in society, to use. This is, if you like, our (INTJ's) function, within that same society.

I didn’t say that because I think that others can’t challenge my intellect, but rather the opposite. I said that because I seriously just want them to tell me how I can be wrong.

The purpose of feelings never made much sense to me -- in fact, they often seemed like a distraction from getting anything worthwhile done -- but I have to accept that people navigate through life more by their emotions than their reasoning. I want to better understand myself and how I relate to others.

Great title for your video. :-) I never use that line about forgetting more than you will ever know, because as my wife tells me, "You never forget anything!" I wish it were true, though. She bought a coffee mug that says, "I don't need Google, I have my husband." I can't tell you how many times she has told me, "Where do you have room for all that stuff in your head?" We were watching a movie the evening before last and I pointed out an error in the movie and why it was wrong, and it generated one of those comments. I find that one of the biggest hurdles I have with getting past the "believability barrier" that must be passed through in order to enjoy fiction, is the unfortunate lack of research that many authors are guilty of. I came to MBTI late in life, unfortunately. What it has given me is an explanation of why my life was the way it turned out to be. Looking back I now know why I was on the outside, and why didn't care that I was. (When I was a teenager there was a song on the billboard top 10, called "I'm in with the In Crowd," all about some socially hip moron who drew his value from the "cool" people who let him tag along like a sheep. I never understood that song, or why anyone would care about such a silly goal.) We can't choose how we were born, but I am glad I turned out to be an INTJ. I fully understand the state of being alone, and not being lonely. Only an introvert can properly appreciate that to the fullest. I also have been gifted with love, for I have an amazing ESTP wife of nearly 43 years and through her I have found the meaning of loneliness, whenever life has separated us (primarily through my job in the Navy). In the Navy, I took a Leadership and Management course. That was a terrible mistake for the Navy in my opinion, because when I then checked onboard my next command, I found that all the things that the course taught were being devoutly ignored. But at the close of the course, the class was divided up into 4 groups and each group had to work together to create some form of presentation. INTJs do not like group activities generally, but I have found a work around that I applied to this event. I told the others in the group that I would do the entire thing, ALONE, if it was okay with them. They didn't want to do it anyway, and so it was all good. I took the 12 pillars of leadership that they put out during the course and I set them all to music (the theme from M*A*S*H, Suicide is painless) and I called it "Leadership is Painless." I brought my guitar in and performed the song for the class. For me it was the perfect solution. I didn't have to work with others. I could guarantee a good product for the presentation. I didn't have to socialize. I got up, did the song, and it worked just as I expected. The teacher wanted a copy of my lyrics, our group got top prize. My group was happy but the other 3 groups were whining because I did all the work. But that is what INTJs usually will do if you give them a chance. We love ideas and systems, but people, unfortunately tend to get in the way. So, we are viewed as weird, or anti-social, cold and unfeeling. It is well that they don't know what INTJs think in return I suppose. :-) Your point about how an INTJ will react to a suggestion you might make was incomplete. I will even listen to a child, if he has a good suggestion. The reality is that usually your suggestion was already visualized and evaluated as being lacking for some reason or another. Therefore, rather than wasting time on explaining the idea's deficiencies, we will blow by it and keep moving. (People skills are not our forte.) We want information and we want truth. If you want to slam the door between you and an INTJ, just lie to him. You're done. When I was teaching I exhaustively went over my lecture before giving it, trying to come up with any and every question I could think of that a student might pose. And then I ran a good answer down for each of them. Then I was ready for more than most classes could come up with on their own. :-) INTJs do not view themselves as superior, just self-contained. We evaluate our performance based upon our own standards, not other people's standards. People all to often look for that extroverted feeling caring from INTJs and are disappointed. But our allegiance to truth, and devotion to competence, still provides them what they want at the job. If an INTJ says he will do something, it will be done, it will be done well, and it will be done on time. We don't fit the extroverted norm, and we seldom act or react in the way "normal" people would. But how we act is logical and rational usually. I think that says more about the "normal" than it does about us. :-) One final point, the redeeming grace about how INTJs are viewed by others, is that INTJs don't care, and so to us it really doesn't matter. :-) Thanks for sharing this video!

To the part of the discussion about feelings, I’ve actually been able to identify emotional patterns and discover roots in people to leverage situations and move them to desired outcomes. I can’t speak for other INTJ’s, but I think a large part of avoiding/minimizing emotions is that they’re difficult to quantify. But this is where developing empathy can help bridge communication barriers between INTJ’s and other types. Of course- this only works when people are actually willing to take an honest look at themselves. But it helps me identify who is emotionally stable enough to interact with and who to avoid.

INTJ's like to have a team, but we don't often like to participate "with" the team because the team is hung up in theatrics and emotions while we can be in the background solving problems. We thrive on thoughtful appreciation, especially when someone notices a detail that most people wouldn't. Don't just point out our flaws, tell us how to fix them and we will be forever in your debt.

Two months ago I walked out of my receptionist job bc I couldn’t understand why ppl were so sensitive and whiny.. (literally journaled, & tried to bring new ideas for me to ‘be better w ppl’ in order to solve the issue ppl b having) And Im in love w a guy who I sabotaged everything w bc I can’t let myself b w someone I can’t see myself eventually bringing home to my parents. So ya yay me

“INTJ: the genius” It's kind of saying that all grapes are purple.

If you try to take exactness meaning from some words, you might find wrongness from mostly all words. How smart you are. Great.

Nah, its more of saying that all grapes have powerful antioxidants but they come in different colours green, black, purple, etc...

It sure was exciting to have that INTJ logo glaring at me for 30 minutes, especially since this was supposedly taken from a podcast...

Podcast Guy: [shares INTJ perception/situation] Me (Female INTJ): Yeah, that makes sense. Podcast Female: Who’d want to work with THAT??? Me: Thanks… 😔😂😂😂🤦♀️ I think though part of being an INTJ is figuring out things that work, so knowing people need things phrased more gently or finessed, is part of it too. I think we’re not all ENTIRELY socially awkward and rude. If you’re an INTJ that doesn’t want to be rude and wants to win people over, especially to your idea, you figure out the right social things to do (most of the time… 😂). Most people at work would not believe I was an INTJ given things listed here (people think I’m friendly, outgoing, etc.) but it’s a mask I’ve learned to put up to play the game. And I am TIRED at the end of the day… 😂🤣😭

I really like the "mask"( its more of a change of actions Not of thinking) . They ussually like i can make pretty funny jokes . Im still a child so that might gave smth to do with me trying to be sozial with my friends. I think everyone does that .but from my expierence (im also an intj) hanging around the true friends is ussually fun.

Am an intj, and i can say that intjs have feelings but are "expressed" when they are alone, when their thinking and processing about whats going on in their life, (or when they are with someone very close to them, but in specific situations ). As an i intj i do that, almost everyday night, but the next day, feelings off. Intj way of thinking is, analyzing and thinking all the consequences and results about a specific choice. They are doing that, because they believe that everything has a connection with everything. Thats make them great problem solvers. As far as their relationship with feellers, i "feel" akward, when the feeller is in the unstable-feeling state, and i even dont know how to respond or say, lol.! (Especially if the reason is idiotic and nonsense). As an intj my classic and only response is to exlpain them, the facts in a logical way, and try to find a solution!

Yes! If there was another way (better way), I would have told you. If it comes out of my mouth, it's the truth, the final answer. If I dont speak on it, I dont know of it. And I might admit to it 🙈

I think intj's collect knowledge that pertains to a certain subject. Intp's like to collect as much knowledge as possible.
