INTJ Personality Inside & Out...

[@tgs5725]

The funny this is that INTJs are so self analyzing that we dont need to watch videos like this because we already know all of these things about ourselves. But our deep thirst for knowledge has us watching these videos nonstop because it helps us self analyze even deeper. Its such a contradiction lol.

[@youur_di]

Not really

[@Joodles243]

@@youur_di We have this innate sense of self understanding when something is being asked of us outside of what we are, but generally, I agree with you bro.

[@prnobbs3262]

Actually, this video is so wordy and repetituve that My INTJ judgement function is wicked irritated and chafed. I have to turn it off or chance being left pissed off for the next hour. Calm yourself, girl. Your message would be better received by the audience your trying to describe.

[@kayonnasmith9339]

​@@prnobbs3262Hold on... Let's not be rash. There are variations in this thinking. However, I agree. The size and complexity of these charts are irritating me. It's redundant. But I did watch it cuz I really wanted to know. All I'm saying is you're both right. It's a wide range of possible conclusions one could come to.... Which makes it interesting.

[@drkatz1192]

I hope you keep going with your MBTI content. As a fellow INTJ going through some dark times - some of your content has really helped me! I also appreciate the deadpan expression you have in your still images for your videos! Always puts a smile on my face. Keep it up!

[@ilovetruthserum]

Bodybuilding/gym culture is underrated for INTJs... Allows you to build a system and routinely engage with SE + it's a passive show of aesthetics after a certain point where you don't have to consciously put on a performance. Of course, there's a balance. I've been stuck in Ni and Fi most of my life, with a surprising amount of SE - at the expense of almost entirely avoiding TE outside of work.

[@YouTuber-2077]

I do mma , and I am also a counter puncher type of a fighter . I don’t know why but I don’t like to win fights( sparring 😂) by imposing my will on my friends , but by techniques , making them fool/miss , technical flow etc. if you know what I mean .

[@tgs5725]

Agreed. I don't like the stigma that INTJs don't care about health or nutrition... we believe efficiency reigns Supreme above all. And staying alive longer is the most important thing you could do. If I die early then I lose out on more time I get to hangout with the most interesting person in the world... myself

[@cillabentebent]

@@tgs5725 exacly, this is game of life and i aim to get the high score and level up til i die.

[@firebirdwillgaming4193]

Love how organized you are making these videos. And like you said that INTJ´s have a little ESFP inside them, I definetly agree as an INTJ myself. And acourding to people such as C.S.Joseph there is a thing called the subcouncious which is when you flip your type upside down. You get in it through your Se-grip or you aspire to it. I like and agree to all of the information you said but, I would like if you talked more of how funtion 3 and 4 can be positive and vice versa for 1 and 2. And it would be extra helpfull if you talked a little about the unconcious (ENTP shadow). So the 5-8 funtions. Anyways love your content, keep up the good work!

[@AlexisKingsley]

Thank you! After several years of experimenting with the 4 sides theory, I ascribe to a few parts, but not the whole thing... this prompts me that maybe I should make a video about it! I get asked about this theory a lot so I have a FAQ section in my description box, but it may warrant a full video as to why I don't go into that type of thing (based on its conflict with Jung's writing, Beebe saying that the theory has been taken too far, and also my anecdotal experience of its results, or lack thereof). A pros/cons video could be interesting

[@PowerRedBullTypology]

@@AlexisKingsley I always like hearing people's reasoning why they believe certain parts of such theories are right or not, so I'd be looking forward!

It’s never too late to start something novel .

[@ALifeFullofJoyce]

One thing that helps me process my feelings is the cognitivist approach which suggests that emotions come from thoughts. So I usually analyze my emotions and figure out the thoughts and events that caused them and it helps me understand more how I interact with the world. For anyone who still wants to find ways to process their feelings.

[@glrbuildersinc.8666]

18:20 whoaaaa. Wild. I gather sooo much info and it just sits in here until someone calls on it and I recite it like my lines in a 5th grade Christmas play.

[@StrangeXP]

Killing it! ❤ On point and very insightful! Definitely a save and keep for reference type of video. Keep up the great work 💪🏼

[@user-ji7xq7ci9f]

Once an INTJ told me that his worst nightmare is to have to go to an event that he qualified as "organised fun" (some sort of party I guessed). I thought his comment was hilarious but I think it perfectly illustrates SE in 4th function

[@allisonrich5061]

"Organized fun" is one term for that. I call it "Enforced merriment". Regardless, it's hell.

[@gmr9265]

As an INTJ, Getting Things Done was very helpful in putting a system in place for managing day to day tasks.. what made a profound difference in my professional career as a graphic designer was Making Ideas Happen by Scott Belsky. It would be one of the things I'd take on a desert island if I had to choose..

Is anyone else taking note and trying to figure out the best way to help improve themselves? Because I will rewatching this.

[@allisonrich5061]

I find Ni-Te to be a superpower and they are difficult to separate for me as they feed off of and support one another in such a harmonious way.

[@enfieldjohn101]

This is great! It is more like a college class lecture than something for entertainment. It is presented in an engaging way that makes me want to keep listening though. I like your description of NI and Te. An example of how they work together in my own life is that when I am pruning a tree or shrub because it needs to be pruned (I never prune unless it is absolutely necessary), I can imagine in my mind what the plant will look like before I even start. I see something like a vision of what the plant should look like in order to still look balanced, natural and healthy yet no longer have growth on it that is causing a problem for itself or something else. I know I'm done when I step back (I step back and walk around the plant between one cut and the next) and what I see in front of me matches that vision. Same way with arranging flowers or planting a flowerbed. I already know what it will look like before I start, even if I don't have a plan drawn out for it ahead of time. I only draw out planting plans and landscape designs for clients when I need to try to express what I'm seeing in my mind so that they can understand it. At my own house, I don't need written or drawn plans because it is in my mind. Yes, my parents say that when I was a little kid, I was an 'old soul'. I spent a lot of time sitting and just thinking about things, even when I was a toddler. I wasn't a rambunctious kid. I would sit for a long time at my little desk in my room with a blank piece of paper that I had taped to it with the roll of masking tape that my mom let me keep in my room. Then, she says, all of a sudden, I'd grab a pencil or crayon and start drawing something that doesn't seem to relate to anything in the room, or any book she's read to me, or any TV show etc. It would be something that seemed to come from out of nowhere, yet it would be packed with detail. She'd ask me what I drew and instead of just saying that it's a tree, or a car, etc. I'd tell her a whole story about it. The picture would be an illustration of a story that I'd told myself in my mind. People are part of my systems only when necessary. Most are not predictable, efficient, logical and sensible enough for me to enjoy working with them. Being around other people stresses me out. This is partly because I'm not only an INTJ, but also autistic. When my Fi is in charge, I am highly critical and dogmatic. The only positive way I can think of for using it is when I write fantasy stories or RPG campaigns. I channel all of my Fi into it so my fantasy stories are full of arch villains, idealistic heroes, battles of good vs evil, etc. My fantasy worlds are illustrations of how I feel about things. The good guys live by what I consider to be right and just while my villains embody everything that I think is wrong with society. My main characters are often clerics and paladins whose power comes from their righteous connection to their deity. Se is certainly my most underused and underdeveloped function. Both as an INTJ and as an autistic person, Se is almost like my enemy. I really struggle with sensations and the outside world. I think that gardening, decorating, painting, drawing etc. are the Se things that help me make what little I use of Se more pleasant. When I make myself focus on the sights, smells, sounds etc. of gardens and try to ignore the thoughts that are spinning in my head, it is a nice break from my Ni. Otherwise, my Se is a mess. I don't care what I look like or sound like. I avoid spending time with people as much as I can. If it wasn't for social media, I would practically be a hermit. I'd say 90% of the interactions I have with people is through typing out my thoughts and sharing them with others on Facebook, KZbin etc. It's way too stressful to spend time with people in person while typed expressions are something I can control and carefully craft before I share it. Speaking out loud, on the other hand, is a mess. Great video! Thanks!

[@JJ-rp2df]

100% love your practical and empowering levers of Jung, led by Te parenting of systems, projects, results, grit, solutions and outcomes over Fi's internal sabotage. So easy to choose the moody, critical, insecure excuses and defiant arrogance of the Fi child at great opportunity cost to Te. Also as you say, others see Se's external image blindspot as boring, conceited, withdrawn unappreciative and rigid with poor communication, social cues and relationships.

[@JoMiSee]

Oooof!! Wow, this is my first time watching one of this type of video from you. And i feel completely exposed on the 2nd and 3rd functons. I mean, 100% nailed. I use GTD (although i LOVE an adapted version of it from the April Perry at LearnDoBecome). And my biggest weakness is that I'm educated beyond my capacity to implement. This video is so exceptionally/excruciatingly? helpful. Thanks!

[@Jan-kf7bt]

Love this series and the consistency!🥰❤️❤️

[@astronumerologybyangeli]

👏👏👏👏 loved how concise your explanation is especially when describing the roles of the 2nd versus 3rd function

[@PowerRedBullTypology]

I often hear high Te people indeed taking systems from others. Like, let's say they want to be successful (since a lot them are interested in doing that) ..then they typically gravitate towards sort of copying from the people they see as being successful. "oh what you believe works? Then I'll adapt that thinking style". "oh what action you take, then I'll copy that". Also, I find they can sometimes (too) easily respect people higher than them and can look down on those lower, since they can be prone to seek some mentor like person. If the higher people say stuff, they more easily believe it and if the lower people say something they very easily reject it. It's so different from my own Ti thinking which both makes it fascinating as a phenomenon, yet at the same time it can annoy me. It's often indeed effective short term, but does not look like an effective long term solution. ? However, it seems like especially Te dominant are so interested in what works now and gets the boat moving. Also, they can be (or appear) super confident till right before whatever they do stops working. Then there is Ti being super careful and serious about such matters, and trying to prevent any mistake and then there's them just using system pre made system and then often get somewhere, even if it's just with trial and error.

[@user-uo9cy2ep2h]

I have tested several times and several ways, including on line self administered to administered by a professional. INTJ, every time. Safe to say, I'm probably that? Anyway, I have struggled my entire life! I hate being around people, they are absolutely exhausting. I struggle with employment because of this, severe anxiety doesn't help. I am happiest alone, doing things, to learn new things. So last year I learned to grow tobacco, successfully. This year I built, not bought a still and ran my first batch, happily alone in the woods last weekend. I need help, I'm drowning in human disgust and introvertion.

[@jaredvaughan1665]

Socionics Model G shows INTJs are more into Ti on the job and Te off the job. Dimensionality (D) (strength) of Beebe 2nd vs 6th function in Socionics Model A and G: Information: 2nd : 3 D (Not always on.) 6th: 4D (always on in the backround) Perceived value: 2nd: 3 D 6th: 2 D Energy (effort) put into each: 2nd: 4 D (preferred on the job) 6th: 3 D (Dipped into on the job but especially used for creativity purposes off the job)

[@bbjudyfit]

As an INTP, this has been torture waiting for the INTP video to learn more about myself.. 🙃

[@PowerRedBullTypology]

if you're correctly typed, having Ti at the top should provide a decent amount of information about yourself already. However, I do understand the hunger for more!

Socionics shows Ni is intuition of time and perceives the future and past. INTJ (ILI) has - Ni. Meaning they look to the past to avoid future mistakes.

[@timl8302]

I myself is a paradoxical Enigma. Sigma, INTJ, ADHD, Libra & dragon. It is easier now that I'm older it is easier to let which side to use. From flirty to Spock mode. (IMHO- trait matching trend. Hypothesis.) Sigmas seem to be = INTJ //// Sigma Empath = INFJ However, YMMV Also, not all INTJs are Sigmas. Food for thought🤔: "If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away." Henry David Thoreau FWIW - The 'All Seeing Eye ' is a sigh of the "The omnipresent 'Eye of Providence' (GOD. Which some people also, is in the form of a Vesica Pices. It is the over lap in a Vin Diagrahm Or the 'Flower of Life'. Also, the Jesus Fish Symbol.

The part about bringing Ni/Se from 95/5% to 80/20% is very interesting. I`ve been working on that for many years (martial arts, medtitaton, drifting, etc) and had a bit of a breaktrough lately.. things look sound and feel better now.. can`t stop myself from dancing on the tables in my lab.. have I gone above 20% Se and turning into an entertainer? 😂 (if I follow impulses in the moment (physically) rather than adding them to the visionary Ni vector.. am I activating Ne rather than Se tho? hmm)

[@neko-sh2io]

Thank you Alexis. You mentioned isolating and training the second function in many of your videos. I get the idea, but how exactly do you “isolate” it and “train” it?

[@AlexisKingsley]

Good question! I'm going to do a series about training each function in the future because you're not the first to ask this. In the case of Te like in this video it could be things like but is not limited to or required to be: read the book GTD mentioned in the video and put into practice, read non-fiction business books in general and then act on the pertinent information, get into leadership, get a money management system, task management system, time management system, a project/outcome/goal, measure results, get around Te-doms and try to imitate the good Te things they do. This is over the course of many years.

My critique: Don’t let it hurt your Fi😊 because I am saying this as a regular viewer of your content. The way you have sequenced and patterned this series is highly monotonous. It’s like you took a template and filled in the boxes for each of the MBTI types you’re covering. On the plus side, it makes comparisons being drawn more dissectible, but at the same time, it has also made all the videos too predictable. I can literally tell what you're going to do or say next. 😊
