Thank you everybody for watching my video, I am EXspecially glad you liked it (number one most frequent comment haha). If you liked this video I encourage you to check out some of my other content as well. This channel has grown substantially in the past few months and I have plans in the works to start releasing more psychology/MBTI videos. If you have any suggestions or requests feel free to leave them as a response to this comment. Thank you again for enjoying my content and supporting my channel!

It's not that we* hate rules. We hate bad rules. Good rules are fine and, in fact, welcome. Trouble is that most people have no idea which rules are bad and which rules are good. *"We" as in a very large majority of INTJs. I can't speak for ALL of them, but I'm fairly confident that a vast majority would agree about this.

[@DinaStrange]

We just want rules that make sense. Not some nonsense that makes zero sense.

[@bowz_of_oshu]

I've never heard a more INTJ statement in my life

[@Uijjhcfee]

I, as a INTJ, calculate the risk of consequences to the benefit of breaking a rule.

[@orpheus9282]

I hate exceptions to rules. I would rather things be re-categorized than something be an exception to a rule.

[@Discordian42]

I think it is more about hating the dogmatic interpretation of rules. Rules generally exist as a simplification of reality to force *mostly* rightful behavior without having to question and to understand the big picture. We want (or even need) to understand the big picture and draw our own, superior conclusions that take situational factors into account for an adaptive, ultimately better result. If you understand a rule and do not just blindly obey it, you can modify it to changed parameters and overcome its limitations.

(they assumed I was faking, lying when I offered input, my thoughts, my feelings, even my recollection of events then they said I was being difficult or not social etc) to my mom one teacher literally said she didn't understand me, I was an enigma for her. I didn't act like other kids my age. it went so bad I was sent to a psychiatrist to once and for all determine what 'mental problem' I had, doing many tests including IQ and just talks. her conclusion what that I was a perfectly normal young man, just ahead of my age in a number of areas. years of mental abuse because they didn't bother to understand me. to actually listen to me, give me room to breathe. when I finally discovered this INTJ-T concept decades later I figured out they were attacking my very personality. and I'm left with an emotional scar because of it, sometimes I wish I wasn't an INTJ-T.

[@anonygent]

I understand what you mean. Nothing feels quite as good as reaching a goal you've been trying to reach, but then nothing feels quite as empty as coming down from that high. And I agree with you that it's a mistake to define yourself in terms of your job, but unfortunately, most of us (males, me included) buy into that formulation and we feel like "nothing" when we don't have a job. INTJ's in particular (I've known a few others like myself) tend to get bored after having mastered a particular career and look for a new one that will challenge them. Other types don't do that. Anyway, I was advised to find "process" goals rather than "end" goals, find something that you can work to reach on a daily or weekly basis rather than a grand scheme that will leave you feeling elated but only temporarily before you have to pick another grand scheme. I have both now since I'm not willing to give up on the grand world-changing goals.

[@prodigalson6166]

Andrew Province I get accused of having an ego problem before people really get to know me. My perception in these patterns and that I see as an intj lead me to have a very Taoist perspective of existence. The difference might be because I am a grunt by Nature I often see myself as expendable. I have been working on a holistic approach to fixing our country for nearly 40 years now and I don't expect to be remembered for my work: what's important to me is the implementation of my ideas which involve natural law declarationism constitutionalism and a tribalist economy similar to what is used on reservations. And that's just the tip of the iceberg. It is essentially the Tao of Americanism® I have spent so long on this I'm convinced I figured it out and I value feedback very much. It's nice to have someone listen but it is so much better when they look at the idea and are blown away and inspired. It's not me that is important it's the idea. I have decided that my talents, intj and all, are there to serve my community my country Humanity and all life. Since I fully realized this I have noticed people are not being pushed away buy my ideas because it isn't about me it's about them it's about our children our future. It's about interpersonal relationships. I highly recommend The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz And deep and simple Bo Lozoff Native science by Gregory Cajete: I think intjs are Naturals in Native science. Perhaps this contains the solution to Ego that you are looking for. Blessings🙏🇺🇸w

[@Hybe123]

It's not a problem really. You push people away 'cause they suck. It's better to be alone than to be surrounded by morons. I've had similar thoughts, tried to change and be nicer to people, but I felt miserable instead. Just be who you are and if that involves you pushing too many people away, so be it. There will be people who you'll get along with, eventually. Just don't be too much of a nazi, give people the benefit of the doubt.

[@louise2172]

Andrew, don't worry about it. People are just misunderstanding you. Someone below mentions that this perception changes once people get to know you well - and I have experienced that also. The people who are worth it will stick around to find out, without judging you so quickly. You can't be somebody you are not in the long-term. I have to dumb myself down when around certain people (mainly my family), but that's through necessity. In general, you have to let people go who are quick to judge you or take offence - it is their own limitations and/or self-esteem. Seek out people who think in a similar way to you, and who you have things in common with.

[@michaelc5386]

My Biggest problems as an INTJ: - Showing any emotion at a funeral - Intense necessity for a strict morning routine... dont... fucking ... mess it up... I'll murder... - Talking with people who react based on emotion.

[@sonicmaths8285]

1. yes, but not out of a lack of emotions. I just don't know how to respond and what would be appropiate, so, I just shut my mouth and keep everything to myself 2. absolutely. I feel sometimes too restricted in my behavior and possibilities, but in the end I'm glad that I have a morning routine, because this gives stability, happiness and there is also a reason for having exactly this morning routine and not another one 3. also, yes. It's kinda annoying, because their's no reationality in there. People just seem to loose their thinking ability

[@jaydee1389]

The morning routine is huge for me. I feel like if I don't plan it right things just don't go right.

[@arnavranka4510]

8:14 I am INTJ. Whenever there is a group project, in the beginning few days I let another person be the leader. I just see what they are doing, how are they doing. And most of the times, I end up taking the leadership without asking them, since they are not upto the mark in efficiency.

[@bangtanbangtan4989]

last part is so true about intj’s in love. why bother starting when you can already see the unfavourable end? why bother when you can already detect the type of things that are going to cause conflict between you and the other person? just a complete waste of time. best to invest in those who are worth it / have a foreseeable future together as it’s easier to find a suitable person than to change another person (which you should not aim to do in the first place).

This is honestly the best way to describe how I feel, and it is difficult for me to keep friends, because I am able to make them, but I do not understand the point of having them. I can do perfectly fine with me and my brain. I can just sit and think all day. A few years ago I did that a little too much, and ended up having suicidal thoughts, and figured that I need a distraction from myself. Is this similar to anyone else?

I’m a 37 years old INTJ woman and I’ve discovered MBTI just few months ago... and now I understand why I’ve always feel an alien through my entire life

[@ozorasokorai9529]

This is real. Being an intj, it’s hard and lonely. It’s so lonely because you constantly see things more deeply and differently. People never understand the emotional burden of being a contrarian - it kinda sucks in practicality. Ni repression with Se overload - really real and dangerous. I just feel like I cannot be a “normal” person. But I don’t want to be either. I think the intj’s only real shot at self-fulfillment is large scale disruption and building a new system on top. Nobody wants that, people want the world to stay in status quo so they reject these alternative perspectives. I think Te is basically the intj’s only real road to salvation - to realise those unique perspectives in the external world. It’s hard though, we lead by Ni. Being an intj - the potential payoff is huge but the journey is so treacherous and because of that the probability of realization low. Can be done though. But takes real courage and real skill in emotional and self-management.

[@siddarts]

Well put :)

[@meinungabundance7696]

I know, it is hard and lonely. But here you see that there are many of us - you are not alone! Hang in there!

[@darrenwang8879]

As a fellow INTJ myself with strong sensing, extraversion and perception tendencies , I would say that normal is something that doesn't actually exist because everyone is a minority of one in personality. However, this is a blessing in disguise because you need people who are different from you to understand you, give you compliments and complaints and do other things so that the world keeps going round. I hope I have not stepped on anyone's toes by now.

[@RitamBuchwald]

The thing that doesn't quite sit right with me about this typology thing is that people might start trying to behave consistently with their type in order to feel secure about who they are, instead of growing as a human being and allowing for the their personality to be nuanced and dynamic. When I was a teenager I tested as an INTP later as an INFJ and now that I'm 31 I tested as an INTJ, so obviously people change with the various encounters they go through in life. Though it's fun to believe for a second that there is a system that could help me identify myself and explain some things. Anyway cheers, nice video.

[@dann12031992]

Great point!

[@matbmp8996]

Me too! First INTP and now INTJ, working consistently and trying to adapt to circumstances and fulfill my ideas, who knows what I'll be in the next years? I feel like I've got a lot of capacity to change while on the way.

[@pikachuiswatchingyou]

[@pikachuiswatchingyou]

I'm exactly like you. I learned to act my extraversion even though it is tiring over time, and my introversion can show up when I'm not feeling well. It is actually quite fun to act like an extrovert because I see it like an exercise or an experiment. And because INTJs are perfectionists and can hide their emotions very well, it is very believable... plus I kinda enjoy it.

[@sred937]

What is it that you modified? I feel like I'm getting close to that answer

I also have to modify my behaviour; it takes quite a bit of mental energy sometimes, and can even inhibit my ability to use my full brain capacity on learning or doing tasks. Which is really annoying. But it does help others feel more at ease around you, and sometimes come in handy in professional situations. :)

[@batman9512]

I'm in my late-40's, and even though I've made some changes, my personality still drives me crazy at times. I say "stop" outloud to prevent over-analyzing and drifting into analysis paralysis. Minor errors in home projects I worked on years ago still annoy me, while others don't even notice the errors or don't think they're a big deal. I have a hard time connecting with other people (I don't have any close friends), including family, and I have to force myself to send an occasional text message or make a phone call. At work, my lead is a bit sloppy and is constantly late for meetings - UGH! I actually played her same role for about 15 years prior to my current position, so I'm constantly reorganizing her documents and hinting at improvements. Inside, I'm gritting my teeth the whole time, but I try to remind myself that we're all different and to be patient.

As a result of this developing idea, and before i knew there were others who possess the kind of depth as myself, i felt as if i was the only player in a game full of NPCs as crazy as that sounds. When you said that all INTJs see the world like a spider web it gave me goosebumps and made me feel so understood.

Thank you in particular for providing these two things: 1. A proper reasoning beyond my weird periodic flashes of sudden desire to drown my thoughts away in unreasonable amounts of alcohol, and 2. A peace of mind about “casual romance” (aka “normal” dating) not sitting right with me. I was beating myself up for “not being open enough/seizing the moment”, but it seems like my brain just isn’t able to start the whole attraction mechanism unless I’m 100.0% into the person and would like to be with them forever. Good to know it’s not me being “shy” or “prudish” but something with a more solid reason.

[@rayhoodoo847]

I personally try to live in the present as well as possible, because I know it will benefit me in the long term. I sleep at least 8 hours every day, eat balanced meals + take necessary vitamins, don't smoke, limit use of alcohol and drugs, exercise regularly and so on, because it literally helps me achieve everything else I want to. Practicing a healthy lifestyle raises your level of content, increases productivity, confidence. It's a strategic move for your own good to win over your short term unnecessary desires.

[@hollyfortenberry5509]

I don't know how you do it. I"m 51 and STILL can't stop being a night-owl. I don't smoke or drink or do drugs though. But I should be more active and definitely should get more sleep.

[@theinstruction1]

Extremely accurate as a 38 year old INTJ. The older you get, the more defined, clear, and easily identified these traits become. I have naturally been more empathetic than how INTJs are typically described most of my life. I also believe if you are truly an intelligent INTJ, you will begin to teach yourself how to be more tolerable of others that do not think or process information like you do. In doing this, your patience for others as well as your ability to increase the amount of empathy and compassion you have for others will begin to increase. If you can do this as you gain wisdom with age as an INTJ, along with your natural strengths, you can become an extremely powerful force to be reckoned with in a positive and uplifting way for humanity. @theinstructionband @blakesakalmusic

"especially in relationships" 🧠True that. I'm in love with a girl, but can't tell her that I like her, because I have no idea if she is the 1 for me. 🙄Rationally I know & understand that the only way to find out is through experience, but emotionally I can't accept this, cauz I don't like gettin' hurt emotionally. 😎Outside a relationship I'm confident & independant, cauz nothin' can hurt me emotionally since I know who I am, so a simple rejection wouldn't hurt me at all. 🤓The complete opposite is true in havin' a relationship, where who I am also depends on my significant other and a rejection by her will hurt me deeply & emotionally.

"Rules hold you back, leave them for someone who needs them" Any fellow INTJ's who recognise this quote?

I think one of the most INTJ things I've ever done, was when I was a kid (around 13 or 14), I had a board game I liked that had 2 ways to play it, with respective stories and goals and rules. I decided I didn't like either of them, so I went and made a 3rd way to play. Got on my computer and typed up a whole paper on it. Made up a whole storyline, new objectives and rules. Always played it that way from then on because it was a more interesting way to play the game. Found that game again up in my closet in a box recently. Took a look at it again. I may have come up with it as a kid, but it still checks out. I covered all the bases, none of the rules conflict, the objectives make sense with the storyline.. all in all pretty solid. 😂👌

I am an INTJ too but I was on my own and studying the Bardo under Dr. Timothy Leary at age 13. I never went home again. My childhood was complete.

How very INTJ. I did the same/.

INTJ artist here 🎨 I don’t believe in “everything happens for a reason” but I like to search connections, actual causes of things that happened. I tend to feel lonely and like nobody is seeing everything that surrounds us. I feel like this type of personality fits me because I tend to strategise a lot but then easily get distracted in the middle of the plan, so I make another strategy to adjust to the time I have left. I relate to the feeling of spending hours drawing while my mind drifts away from reality. If anyone reads this, I want to recommend the movie “Perfect Blue”, it displays a mix between reality and illusion and it’s one of my favourites.

This appeared on my list as a suggested video, and I'm certainly thankful I made the choice to watch it! As a relative newbie to all things MBTI, I've been watching videos by a wide variety of KZbinrs on the INTJ. Yours, by far, has been the most informative, and your presentation was clear, well thought out, and easy to understand. You''re a superb teacher -- you seem to have a natural inclination. Looking very forward to more of your videos!! Thanks!!

This video is a gem fr me coz every information is on to the point and not naive like other videos.... 1:43 different insight about world 2:11 thats so true even my youtube id baner is same.....im an INTJ 2:26 the reason i dont like small talk like Hw r u?....rather i like to share my described options to the person having interest to hear me.....i found none till now 3:20 pattern 4:34 intuition 5:17 exactly the reason why i sometimes get repulsed with salesman i understand their purpose of being so enthusiastic.... 7:08 thats true but every INTJ have the intention to be interested in various subjects.... connecting dots.....after sometimes it seems boring....but a true mastermind can raise when one would focus gathering information on one subject and apply intuition.... 8:33 introverted feeling 9:24 lone wolves 11:01 so true 11:14 if it wasn't mentioned i would add some advise in last of comment..... I encountered it during whole lockdown 12:52✊ 13:12 14:12 damn Thanks mate

I’m an INFP but I’m still watching this because I genuinely love INTJs.

This is so crazy to me! 100% this checks out with me and it even reflects my family: I have 5 uncles and they’re all different but yet, they definitely have this, they’re all the same : -one ended up rich in a sky scraper with a beautiful wife, no job and a close to non existent social life -one became a playboy; fancy cars and many women -one got happy by supporting his daughters and getting his joy out of helping the people around him -one looks like a homeless guy, drinks, but still is like the others. -one never got a traditional well paying job, but always had money on the bank and got his joy out of luxury It’s sooo striking to me to finally see where everything fits into the bigger picture, this video was great thanks!

"it is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it", in another video i heard that this quote was belonging to einstein, interesting..
