Where we decide to be present is key, though, like being present for a meal, or for the sunrise. Refusing to be present *anywhere* in our lives is more a defense mechanism that developed over time and often causes destructive results, rather than being a well-reasoned preference.

This is related perhaps, but the thing I (an INTJ) hate most of all is someone using their authority to make me do something for my work that I KNOW is stupid, and despite my logical arguments to the contrary. The fact that I had felt some ownership over the work and am forced to relinquish control in that way makes it incredibly infuriating. The only way I've been able to survive this type of experience (which has happened all too many times) is emotional detachment from the work, and reveling in very, very dark humor.

Hell, neither did i understand myself completely until i found out i'm an INTJ recently, after taking some tests. I've never even realized there was such a thing. And since finding this channel, it's scary seeing someone describe my experiences so accurately, to the point of even using the same words and sentences the i use in my own head for years. But at the same time is such a relief, finally realizing i'm not the only very specific type of "weirdo" lmao! And having someone explaining things and validating things about myself that i learned through much mental pain and frustration and other things that finally "clicked" about my personality. Thank you for all these videos man. I've been finding a lot of peace and self-love through them.

The two things I hate most both come from my time in the air force. 1, "Blanket Punishments": if you're unfamiliar with the term, it's when an entire group is punished for the mistake of a single (or maybe 2 - 3) people. That's right; you can follow the rules and do your job perfectly...but you're going to get punished just like that one lazy, incompetent jack-ass that barely puts any effort in. 2, "Mandatory Fun": Events, paid for by the military, where everyone not on duty is required to attend (even if you just got off a 12-hour night shift). To their credit, they actually do put some work into choosing things that people might actually enjoy. As an INTJ, however, I was conspicuously the least happy person at the event in question-every time. Forced socialization, with a lot of people I don't really like, during my limited free time? Hell. No. Honestly, the military is a REALLY rough place for INTJs. Conformity, uniformity, obeying authority without question, doing things that don't make any sense...ah, memories.

Yes!. Efficiency and planning ahead often give the impression of laziness. One summer, I worked as an assistant stage manager at a theatre company. Over the course of being trained to take over running 'Lend Me a Tenor', I followed around the experienced ASM for a few nights, taking notes as we went along. She seemed stressed as she rushed around backstage preparing this and that, hurrying back and forth behind the set multiple times in the dark. Several times, we passed actors poised to re-enter their scenes, making them nervous. On the surface, the ASM appeared to be working hard to ensure the show ran smoothly, but I instantly saw the flaws in her approach. When I took over, my aim was to be the calm, unseen hand behind the scenes. I optimized the positioning of every prop and every movement I made backstage. I was there to facilitate the show and avoid distracting or interfering with the actors. After I had everything rearranged, I actually had long periods of time to read between cues. It surprised the actors at first, but they came to trust me and appreciate the changes. One night an actor came to me in a panic with mere seconds to re-enter a scene, but I calmly pulled out an invisible bandage and handed it to him. Doing the mental work of optimizing effort upfront and preparing for every eventuality saves time and energy in the long run as well as improving performance. The only downside of this approach is that it is rarely recognized or appreciated by those around us because, on the surface, it looks like you're doing next to nothing. It makes it tough to compete against less-competent employees who seem to be working harder, but aren't working smarter. Only an INTJ boss can fully appreciate and value our unique skills.

Dead on! And I have to say, what I think bothers me more than incompetent individuals is when everyone goes along with a flawed system. Something related to solving problems far down the line and the future-focus for me is, I know what I do and don't want to experience in the future. I want to prevent problems at work, for example, because I really, REALLY don't want to experience what's coming if it goes wrong. As one INTJ You-Tuber explained, we can vividly imagine and pre-live a future experience many times, over and over, before it's even happened, the way some people re-live past bad experiences. Like our own personal premonition hell. It's bad enough in my head; I don't want to ACTUALLY experience the real deal. Like having to deal with irate people on the phone or things breaking down because nobody took a negative possibility seriously. I'll go out of my way to prevent it so I don't have to deal with it. I don't mind if someone doesn't want to go along with my prevention plans as long as they're willing to take responsibility for all the crap that follows and let me off the hook 🙂

I'm INTJ. Throughout my 57 years of life, I have developed a deep feeling that if you want to get something done right, you have to do it yourself. I am a thinker, a schemer, and a part of me wishes that I could be king of the universe, but the better part of me knows that God is the only one suited for that job. As I age, and wizen with each passing day, I understand more and more just how little I really know about anything. I do know this, however. God gave us life and individuality so that we could live free. Free to make our own decisions in life, whether they be for good or bad. Free to experience the outcomes that arise from the actions that we take, based on our decisions with the opportunity to better ourselves because of this. I beg of you all to be ever vigilant against people who would take a political office of power over you, promising security to you in exchange for some of your freedom. These are people that you must beware of because their ultimate goal is to enslave you. These people are the deceivers. They will accuse their political opponents of high crimes while, they themselves, are truly the ones who are criminal.

@@xkenny-personalitydatabase5604 I (INTP) agree with your points, but does this necessarily dispute OP's claim that INTJs "need to analyze everything"? Although an INTJ's only explicitly analytical function is Fi, INTJs still rely on analysis in order to store and categorize information as "objective fact" instead of just an experience. Te will take an experience and make a rational judgement about it, or analyze it, in order to understand the structure of it / "big picture". So, although INTJs may analyze things less, that (to my understanding) does not necessarily mean that an INTJ analyzes less things than an INTP or ENTP does. INTJs may spend less time pondering over each individual piece of information, but the way they store information means that they still analyze everything that they perceive. Keep in mind that this is coming from an INTP. This is all based on my understanding of the functions and function stacks; I don't have the personal experience necessary to know exactly what it's like to be in an INTJs head. Just throwing some thoughts out there.

The moment you add trust issues to the equation, it suddenly makes sense--the moment you become suspicious of any and all sources, removing any actual possibility of verification, then the pursuit of the truth has to fall into the realm of deduction and intuition. This makes it extremely easy to stumble places that are probably nonsense, since you no longer have trustworthy facts to ground yourself in. Add to this the INTJ's objective-oriented nature, and suddenly you're using all of your time and resources to find an answer or fix a problem that may not even exist, because it's become your primary objective thanks to good-old NE screaming in terror of a potential threat.

Its not always easy though. I noticed in the workplace that people see my advantages of being naturally efficient and driven, and that sometimes comes with jealousy and distrust from those people. Especially gossip heavy work environments are a nightmare for me as an INTJ as I will, a lot of times, be painted as the bad guy. But it's just on the basis of perception, not on the actual truth of taken moral actions. In fact, I would say that my moral integrity is actually comfortably above average. Certainly above the people who systematically engage in gossip and baseless judging of other people.

As an INTJ, I’ve spent hours upon hours working with my psychologist about how to deal with the incompetence of others. I’m really bad at dealing with those people. When a pharmacist accidentally gave me the wrong medication, I lectured her about how her incompetence was so severe that she could kill people. Had I taken the medication she gave me, I would most likely have ended up hospitalized. I didn’t stop until she was crying, and even then I was on the phone with the corporate office telling them to replace her with someone who could read. Like I said, I don’t deal well with incompetence.

I don't know how you know INTJs so well but the things you listed are all pretty much the source of my frustration. & the efficiency/conserving energy thing is definitely number 1 on my list too. My family calls me lazy because I hate to do chores, but really I just like to do things that require more brain power & conserve my energy than doing chores which will immediately drain my energy lol. Also, I once worked under someone whom I found really incompetent & I really really really hated it. I'm not greedy for power, I prefer to stand on the side & manage things without the responsibility of a leader (so I still can have my freedom), but if that means incompetent ppl are going to be leaders then ....

@xkenny-personalitydatabase56043 жыл бұрын
Rand is an ISxP. She's a strong Ji dom; her Se comes first and her Ni lacks complexity (deep fixation blind to Ne). Both Ti and Fi are analytical functions which can be confused with "reason," which she clearly prefers in her writing. I haven't read enough to differentiate. How she trusts and defends the senses is highly unlikely for a sensing inferior. Also, projecting her own moral philosophy onto others and thinking it objective is the most improbable conclusion for Fe blind INTJs. Funnily, I'm leaning ISFP, which is also Dave Powers likely type, and they both insist on misusing language in labeling their system of belief the indirect implication of "objective," instead of using a more dry, technical term. This shows a rudimentary value of Te. Mervyn Peake is an INTJ author. It is easy to like books of other types, reguardless.

@charles22412 жыл бұрын
That sounds quite true to me (INTJ/INFJ). In a very limited way, I'm the other way around though. For example, I like playing basketball by myself, and will play somebody else if they ask, most likely, but as I play alone a great deal, I also actually sort of thrive on somebody watching me play it, because it helps my concentration. It's not that I can't concentrate alone, it's just easier when somebody is there. I know I used to actually hate it when somebody would be watching, and it would make me nervous, but nowadays, with a more polished game, it can really help with the concentration, which is key. Playing alone can get awfully boring, especially when you're having a bad day and can't just seem to find the focus to make the difference. I have always had a fear of speaking in public, say on a stage, as well, but these days I imagine I could actually pull it off with a bit of practice. If we had the net when I was young, I probably never could had wrote much of anything just due to not wanting to stick out at all. Problem is, as I've found, not wanting to stick out, makes you stick out often enough, at least among the extroverts, so you're probably better off not being quite so much that way. There's a fine line somewhere where you can achieve not sticking out in it's most efficient way, but going out of your way to not stick out, isn't that precise place. It would seem having something of a chameleon adaptive ability to the people you're around would be in order, and, of course, INTJs aren't two-faced. Yes, I recall as a youth, that was one of the things I did regularly, adapting my mode of operation to the people I was around, and it really is a sign of an immature lack of knowledge of one's self - and yes, I had no idea what I was.

As an ISTP with an INTJ brother, I'd like to say that INTJs and ISTPs are radically different personalities even with only two letter changes and that we constantly butt heads over those differences. As you already pointed out, my brother like most INTJs are very much future oriented and excellent planners, whereas I as an ISTP am very much present oriented and prefer an open-ended approach. Oftentimes he views me as an impulsive and stubborn smartass, and oftentimes I in turn view him as an inflexible know-it-all with a superiority complex. It's like trying to compare Clint Eastwood and Albert Einstein, both hugely influential in their own rights but they're entirely different from each other and there's probably going to be a fistfight if you leave them alone together long enough.

1.) Wouldn't it be nice if, after you've subscribed, you don't have to listen to the spiel about subscribing? Efficiency please! 2.) I'm curious how many of us came by this personality type 'honestly' and how many came to it via circumstances. Myself, growing up in an abusive household and having health problems since birth, I think I came to it somewhat out of necessity. That part about expending a lot of energy up front to avoid needing to later is one of the traits I had to develop early... I never knew how things would be later on so I had to do what I could when I could get away with it - either because my body happened to be cooperating or because the adults could be loopy/unavailable/angry/who-knows-what at any time. Thoughts? 3) I've definitely felt a lack of femininity all my life. To the point where I've always wanted to be male and was extremely upset when I got boobs and periods. It's only in the last few months I finally accepted that my way of thinking doesn't define my gender and man is it freeing. It's allowing me to just act, to just be, without filtering it through acceptability filters... most INTJs censor in public but this voice was in my soul. I don't know if this is an INTJ thing or not but when I realize a big picture truth it's like a switch being turned on and, once illuminated, what is seen can't be unseen - you just aren't capable of thinking the prior way anymore. This is thankfully one of those changes and holy snikies it is wonderful! I like what I like. I dislike what I dislike. It doesn't make me any more or less of any one thing or another, it just makes me me. So simple!

Certainly seems true in my case. I am an INTJ and I often say that due to lack of parents I raised myself to be who I am. I didn't worry about being feminine and sensitive (F) I didn't worry about acceptable societal structures and traditions (SJ) I didn't worry about people (E). I simply had to take care of myself and guide my own way into the world to make it. This made my Ni-Te combo strong while making my Fi the thing that I hide the most for self protection.

Then they have the audacity to push people (INTJs), who don't see the value in wasting their time, to speak and join in. Stating that they aren't comfortable with silence, which is clearly brought upon by the need to get back to doing something that actually has value instead yapping about for the sake of using all the time allocated for the meeting. ...
