Relatable, as an INTJ the work that I hate the most is group work because people are incompetent

[@PsychologyRefresh]

Good to hear!

[@2012International]

Word.

[@aalyadeorari2760]

exactly, and the worst part is we end up doing nearly all of the work and they still get the credit from the teacher

[@shellabai8539]

Same 😂

[@ryuzuou]

I can relate to that. Some of my group mates are quite incompetent, so I ended up finishing the project all by myself.

[@flannelpillowcase6475]

living life as an INTJ in the US (can't attest to other countries) is like living life as an involuntary villain. especially if you're female and even more especially if you had a traumatic childhood. people will either love you or hate you, but more often will hate you and will go out of their way to make your life a living hell, and ultimately ruin your life directly and/or indirectly. so yeah, wonderful experience all around.

[@Siyah-px2uy]

why? it might be because of jealousy ? Entjs are also hated

[@jessegarnertheopinionated544]

It really is a weird feeling when you have felt like no one understands you and then find out that you fit the textbook definition of this personality type. Whoever designed these groups clearly knew what they were doing.

[@Luminesce07]

As an INTJ, I hate it when people think I’m shy or “try to bring me out of my shell”, it’s almost as if society sees being quiet and shy as synonymous with each other which is very false. If I’m minding my business please don’t talk to me. I’ve notice that as an INTJ I attract people at times when I don’t want to, like when I’m alone on my phone at work for example. Also small talk pisses me off. I work retail and it’s trash. Not staying at that job for long because I fake laugh at a good 90% of my customers jokes and not to mention the small talk is aggravating as hell.

[@moxie5302]

YES. exactly the same with me, i understand and relate to you completely. i HATE small talk and especially in situations like that. especially when i’m minding my own business, doing something where I CLEARLY do not want to be bothered and then people gather around me like a flock and try to have a conversation and so i’m like 😄👹👺.

[@heibai1173]

I think the people around me at work have just accepted that I won’t laugh at everything they say or just to “be nice”. If they speak to me, telling me something that I can tell they find humorous, I’ll give a small polite smile, then continue with my tasks. The trick is to give answers that are as short and vague as possible. That makes people uncomfortable and then, soon enough, you’ve trained them to stay away from you… mostly. I do not hate people, but I hate being AROUND people, and speaking to them? I do not exaggerate when I say I avoid it AT ALL COSTS. I only speak when it absolutely, 100%, cannot be avoided.

[@sylviaowega3839]

As an INTP, I always find small talk irritating as hell. Also most people due to ignorance think that being shy and hating people are synonymous with each other, whilst they couldn’t be further from the truth. For starters, there are many extroverts who are shy; and many introverts like myself whom are not shy. I also don’t hate people, only that the vast majority of them are boring.

[@CatCat-tm2cg]

i try to avoid conversations but sometimes people come to my desk at school and ask me why i sit at my desk for the whole recess and draw. Than i say that i enjoy it and get back to whatever i was doing. After that, they call me shy, introverted, and depressed. I ignore them, than they don’t leave me alone. JUST LEAVE ME ALONE I WOULD RATHER SPEND MY TIME DRAWING THAN TO START THE DUMBEST ARGUMENT WITH THE DUMBEST PERSON EVER

[@kaiisnot4u]

5:29 As an INTJ myself, this is very true. Just because you are older/higher in position than me, doesn't make you 'superior' automatically than I am. If you want my respect, earn it.

[@kaiisnot4u]

@@LordPepe-jh5dt You did the right thing bae! Hell yeah, Respect goes both ways.

I’m an INTJ, and I struggle with dealing with the incompetence of others. It gets in the way of my relationships sometimes and it’s good to try and be strict on myself, and forgiving with others, as what they do is outside of my control. I prefer to spend my time alone, expanding my knowledge, and this helps me keep improving.

[@apextroll]

You are better off assuming incompetence and corruption due to humans being human, and be pleasantly surprised when not.

As an INTJ I really agreed with the video and one of the things I hate is when one of my plans doesn't go as expected or my routine is interrupted, it's a feeling that leaves me in a bad mood.

[@FocusedFighter777]

I have many of these traits but doesnt mean i am intj. People want to fit in in a category so much. I scored intj all the time and yet the definition changes depending on who says it.

[@schnitzelhd3844]

The problem for me (an INTJ) is that I need to have things done this way but feel miserable when I don't, which sadly happens a lot. I would also comment on "doing things efficiently", many times I can be such a perfectionist that I begin to do unnecessary stuff to make something I care about the best way as possible which consumes a lot of time and energy thus creating tasks I am not able to fulfil.

I'm an intj University student. I stopped going to lectures because I feel like the lecturers can't teach me something that I can't learn by myself. So I really resonated with the independence part of the video. I have actually found that I get much higher grades when I teach myself. It might also be because I was taught in a homeschooling setting and thus I had to be independent and manage my time efficiently. Now I genuinely cannot stand going to lectures I find them mind numbing especially if lecture slides are provided before hand..

As an Intj, I do have a good amount of empathy, or at least I try my best to do so. The problem is that not everyone nowadays does and thus go off of present-nows instead of thinking how this will effect the things around them. No one wants to listen anymore and I see that as the major downfall in everything, thus why I try to get myself in an area of respect so others are more willing to listen: people will not listen to those they seem less to them but they will to those they follow, or that is what they see it as.

I'm learning that they think that they are bringing us back to reality by giving us a since of community.

What I do is find ways to keep my mind engaged. Over the summer I had a job servicing defibrillators, and managed to hit record numbers by changing the order of the process and by using things like a second battery to allow me to do two things at once. After you reach that stage where the rules coalesce and telescope into one act - an art - look for ways to make it harder without effecting performance. In my case, I tried memorizing the defibrillator ID, and then date, and then battery date, to grow in some way (my memory in this case). Just keep pushing yourself, but try to not be too hard on yourself. Otherwise you fall into a habit of worrying about anything that MIGHT be counterproductive/ineffective.

[@pamelajohnson4011]

As an INTJ personality, I like to see a video about the dark side of the personality. I had this big group of friends. I hung around with about 20 people. There was a person I really thought was a friend. I was very surprised when he betrayed me. Usually I can tell when's someone not really your friend and I usually avoid them. I did not overreact. Just move on with life. I was like screw it. But then that person who betrayed me started attacking my other friends because they were my friends. This crossed a line for me. Then I retelled. Not violently, I just whispered in people's ears and allowed the seed to grow. Manipulating people allowing them to believe that the idea was their own. I did not directly tell people what to do. I just simply said watch him do this. Then when he did it in front of them. Because they were paying attention to it, they came up with their own conclusion. Of course, I told them what I thought. But I let the thought grow in their own head. No one is this person's friend in my town they hated his guts. No one really knows what I did, nor do I ever need to take the responsibility or take credit for it. I don't need to win a popularity contest. I know people I know what they're going to do before they know they're going to do something, and I allowed for this to work in my favor. Has this happened to any other INTJ ???

Well played. Once, I casually warned one of my enemies that I don’t tolerate bull crap from other people and that I will get physical if needed. I said this in front of my group of friends on purpose knowing that this guy would aggravate me again in front of them. (He liked to show off). He finally did and I got physical as promised. I did get in trouble with a few people except those that heard me say what I said. They defended me by saying, “Well, he did say that he retaliates and the guy should’ve taken that as a warning.” In the end, I got back at my enemy, made a statement and kept my friends.

Now I see why ENFPs and INTJs fit together that well. The INTJ works quite fine where the ENFP fails and the other way around even though they could have the same thought at the same moment. And they share some things. I'm ENFP and one of the few things that would enrage me are inefficiency and incompetence. I may have more patience when people are in a position in which I don't expect them to know of the things in front of them, but if they are in a position in which they should know what to do and I'm facing plain incompetence and inefficieny, my blood starts boiling quite fast while being overly sarcastic and direct. I even understand the "hate to work on autopilot". I need challenges, I love knowledge. Independency is also a big thing for me, but I want to achieve it with someone together, since I absolutely love to see others succeed, too. I love lone strolls through woods and fields, too, even though I enjoy having people around me most times.

As an INTJ who grew up home schooled in a family of 8... I do, in fact, absolutely, NOT need a plan. We would literally make things up as we go and that was that. Because I was home schooled if we wanted/needed to go somewhere we left "as soon as we were ready" at any time of the day. Day trips and mini-vacations were like that too. Dad comes home from work and decides "time for a bike ride" or we finish our homework in the morning and mom decides "Oh? well...who wants to go to the park!". Do I like having a plan? Yes. Do I hate it when the plan is derailed? Also yes. But I do not need a plan, I am a very go-with-the-flow INTJ *so long as a plan has not already been established.*

I thought that i am the weird one. My husband always told me so. Sometimes i show no emotion. I hate when my someone blabbering on trivial matter or emotional one. Just look at the logical and reasonable method men! And i dont give respect to people based on their seniority or superiority. But now I realize INTJ is my personality. Yes, the rare INTJ women. Thank you for your video. Done subscribed.

[@moxie5302]

woah, i haven’t even finished the video yet but #2 describes me perfectly. so far i relate highly with all of them.

I honestly don’t relate as much to the feeling misunderstood part that much because I have an INTJ father as well and we have an identical sense of humor and think similarly. I’m lucky, there are a few things though, like our inner world is different, we have different ways of accomplishing a problem, but they are always the most efficient ways we can think of. I just finished it, the autopilot description was astoundingly accurate.

[@PsychologyRefresh]

Interesting approach!

[@ariel23175]

I have a twin with the same personality type too!

[@joghaella9500]

Man, this is so relatable. I left 2 jobs literally because the manager and the colleagues were absolutely incompetent. Not even because they were stupid, but they just refused to put in the effort. Or when management is one decision away from setting up a structured work environment with everyone knowing their roles, but instead they just talk about how it should be done, but don’t do it, as if waiting for some magic to happen or for someone else to create the thing they want. It’s extremely frustrating. I can’t even say that I know everything, but everyone’s just so unserious and careless.

[@MikeScott55]

My motto that my wife now has adopted is “backups for backups”. Everything I do has to have a second and third option by design.

[@PsychologyRefresh]

Great motto!

[@tsalazar9223]

All correct. One point, I'll elaborate on. I prefer to work alone, but do well in a team setting. If my boss isn't competent, I'm heading home. If he/she is hard on me, they'd better be intelligent. If i don't see smarts or leadership qualities, I'm taking charge or quiting. Sorry, not sorry. Oh, did i mention? I have ADHD as well.

[@tylamartin5143]

My ex-step mom thought I had a type of autism that makes it difficult for me to feel and display emotions or feel empathy for others. But I’m just a INTJ lol.

[@heibai1173]

Yes to everything. Except, I COULD complete my work tasks quicker, but I have to strategically stall and time my tasks in order to make it last till the last hour, cause I need money. 😑

[@PsychologyRefresh]

Thank you for bringing up your perspective!

[@Jane93meow]

I’m an INTJ but as a strong intuitive I do end up “going with the flow” at times when I logically decide to follow my intuition.

[@the-LeoKnightus]

I bounce back and forth between introverted and extroverted. But definitely an intuitive, thinker, judger. Biggest advice I can give is to not take life so seriously.

[@nakamuraasuka7561]

I'm an INTJ, but I think that I lucked out with the way I turned out. I have a lot more patience compared to most INTJs. I accepted that perfection is a concept that does not truly exist, and I learned never to have expectations for anything positive. This may sound bad or unlucky to others, but not to me. Thanks to this, I have a strong sense of realism. I can change up the plan during a change in a situation, meaning that I can be easily flexible. I have blocked out all possible chances for an emotional decision. I can maintain a face that will provide me with connections to people who are helpful to me and my future. I can easily not get attached to anyone, not get hurt by their words, not get caught up with the emotional drama. I can accept turning in work that isn't perfect. I can take a slower pace. Finally, I have a better feeling of independence. I'm alone, and that might sound bad, but it's heavenly! Sure, I live with other people, and I'm constantly interacting with people during my days, but I'm alone. It's only me, myself, and I. It's like I'm playing a decision based game. I can see a tree of possible consequences, and even when I don't, I can still change my initial plan when needed and still end up at my initial outcome. It's sort of freeing in a way. I'm not winning the game of life, most likely, but I'm playing my own game in my own way. And it's fun. Anyways, that's my railing done. Seeya

I didn't believe before in this personality types but when it showed itself how useful it is I tried to take a test. I am INTJ so I thought what is so special that I am rare. And when I saw this video it's all coming together from these facts to my experience. About predicting future is surely true for me. I am a guy who doesn't like that much teamwork and likes to ask myself questions and being alone to refresh my mind. Others thought being alone is bad for me but I see it like peacful time with myself.

[@Jack_howard_mayer]

Very relatable and logical it sums my life up pretty well I hate incompetence and ineffiecncy and especially laziness but in my life I am unstructured and quite lazy I hate laziness but I end up being a bit lazy its hard to explain I do things lazy and then end up efficient it's weird but it works I think the word I'm looking for is methodical

[@AribellaAC]

I tell you, people would get so confused when I tell them that I’m energized, and I have a lot of things to do, and absolutely exhausted when I have nothing to do. I’m a workaholic, and I crave intellectual stimulation… But I absolutely shun overt social interaction. I’ve been this way for as long as I can remember, even since a child.

[@graceamsterdam5404]

Wowwwww you nailed it with the career and the incompetent bosses!!! Nightmare-ish career in corporate… what a waste of my time and talent. My first reaction at my first job: ‘huhhh do people gat paid this much to do this little’ 😂. Should have been a huge red flag for me.

Man, being an INTJ was terrible for school until college… so many small town teachers on power trips did not earn the respect of a future chemical engineer🤦‍♂️ there were a few that were truly intelligent, and I was the favorite student in those classes. Was sent to the office too often in all the others lol. Still got all A’s though 🤷‍♂️ engineering profs on the other hand, there were maybe 2 in my whole career I didn’t respect in some way. No problem with authority, the authority just has to be right🤷‍♂️

To work well with incompetence is considered being a good team player but so hard to do as an INTJ

I always tested as INTP in my 20s, now testing as INTJ. I think that it seems like I grew up a little bit, and that's the difference. I am more focused on being good at work.

[@skip123davis]

usaf told me i'm an intj around 20 as part of my security clearance, and told me it's very rare. i've been told that twice since by counselors. i agree with everything you said. we're a tough lot.

[@steveunwin830]

Totally disagree with the need for detailed plans. The INTJ has the overarching big picture that may span decades and is constantly gathering data on which to make the next step, but this is a dynamic process of making each step intentional. Being tied to a fixed plan would drive an INTJ crazy. Indeed they are often happy calculating the next step and moving on without the tedium of actually having to implement it. As you said, INTJ's are focused on the future. A plan is just a part of the past that hasn't happened yet.
