You sir, are a wizard. ;) I can't speak for all INTJs but I personally felt very understood and appreciated. Thank you Erik.

[@Elviriela]

I think this is perfect. I am married to an INTJ. If all INTJs are like him, I would say that if an INTJ has decided to marry you, he will do anything in the world to make this work. He does not do anything half heartedly. Trustworthy, smart, deep, wonderful type ❤️

[@dianacryder7523]

Wow. Your videos have always impressed me but now I'm really wowed. I've never felt so understood!

[@BethanyLowe8773]

I feel understood!

[@gordthor5351]

Eric,I would like to see more people watch your video and forget about the stereotypical MBTI INTJ description.I have studied MBTI very little (I don't like to have to unlearn things because it is very hard to forget),because from the beginning I realized the utility,but also saw the blatant flaws. MBTI gave me a framework to watch people and come to my own conclusions independently. I must be a constructivist,because I was a constuctivist before I even knew the meaning of the word. I trust my system because it works and I need shit to work. I am always looking to refine my system and brilliant INFJs like you help me see from a different focus. I see INFJs and INTJs with equal insight,but different focus. That's not to say that each type can't do a pretty damn good job out of the realm of their dominant focus. INFJs don't just focus on people 24/7 and INTJs certainly realize that people are a very big part of reality.

[@shortycareface9678]

I sincerely appreciate your explanation of the MBTI concept and how you take the cognitive functions into account, and not merely the four-letter codes. As an INTJ I can relate to this.

Enfp here who is married to an intj and I see these awesome qualities in my intj husband too! Intj’s are awesome! I agree intj’s aren’t cold 😁taking longer to warm up to some isn’t cold and not warming up to some people is healthy and is something that I struggle with and i have a deep respect for how my husband can use wisdom to not get too attached to anyone who isn’t worth the time (emotionally draining people) because I struggle with that and end up getting hurt. My intj husband loves me as I am and balances me out and I love how we are our authentic selves together without judgment, we love each other as we are! Sorry I love saying good things about him whenever I get the chance 😁he’s really awesome like that and he is my best friend on earth

"they can be sweet and caring but it's reserved for one specific person" aka my various cats

[@count7340]

I have a cat.

[@guhapranavpalanisamy1006]

Superb video. keep going...

[@babyrahool]

Wow my father recently told me that he has learned so much from me: Him and my mom were teenage parents & I feel as if I've grown with them through my 19 years.

[@seraphyde7058]

My ego feels boosted, thank you! Great video. Also, I like your accent! Makes me miss Sweden.

[@ErikThor]

Where do you live now? :)

[@seraphyde7058]

Finland. I haven't ever lived in Sweden, but I used to visit quite often. :)

[@ErikThor]

Awesome! I have been in finland a dozen of times too, oulo, kemi, places like that lol, used to live on the border of haparanda on the summers so was an easy trip.

[@ErikThor]

love your licorice

[@okrascotum]

Cool, engaged and engaging

[@chrisnelmerard9540]

Erik, you pretty much got it down. I am interested to hear you talk about mediation use by INTJs and others as a way of dealing with weaknesses and maintaining flow.

[@chrisnelmerard9540]

I am not chrisnel merard from one sec ago...am Mike Henault [e-mail]

[@ErikThor]

many intjs have asked for this, maybe i'll make a guide to intj zen

[@bcnrocks1427]

Brillant

[@count7340]

Here's an 'i' for you to use how you see fit.

[@mchalst]

very accurate

[@waykee33]

Is Ni related to lucid dreams?

[@ErikThor]

Anyone can learn to lucid dream.. First step is to learn to remember your dreams and then to remember themes and things in the dream that will remind you that you're dreaming. :) Heightened consciousness during sleep = Lucid dreams

[@gordthor5351]

Eric, I have experience many lucid dreams,but lately I had a dream where I was clearly using logical thought. Which is widely considered to be impossible since dreams come from the subconscious. I have also waken up (on 3 occasions) from falling asleep on the couch and although very tired,seemingly entirely conscious,yet for the life of me I didn't know how to brush my teeth. I found myself almost putting shaving cream on my tooth brush,or toothpaste on my razor. I would struggle for at least 10 minutes knowing full well that I "know this" and it really bothered me that I didn't (obviously) know what to do. Clearly one side of my brain was still asleep and thus I know how frustrating it must be for split brain people (severed corpus callosum ). Everything seems cognitively normal,but you don't know how to put knowingly simply things together. I am about 50/50 left/right brain split,so I don't know if a person with a more dominant hemisphere preference would struggle to brush their teeth in the same instance i experienced. I think a strong connection in the corpus callosum might aid in stronger insight.

[@kayannefernandes8245]

+Erik Thor I once remembered most of my dreams as a single one, as many lifetimes parallel to this one, almost identical and very premonitory. Sometimes I remember more pieces and it happened out of sudden doing something mundane I don't remember, I just sit down and grasped for hours the memory. I wanted to know the neurological core to this... I meditate a lot and some other things related. As I understand the Calabi-Yau manifold structure in quantum mechanics this is a 5D or 6D (when physics break out) layer structure... fold and many infinite verses of the multiverse or omniverse 7D layer structure. Remember the tesseract 4D is time, time is manipulable as a spatial dimension on a higher 5th dimensional layer structure fold. Now, the brain is interesting... hahaha! lobes... and lobes...
