I hope this video makes you either, more sure of your type as an INTJ, or gives you the freedom to embrace your actual type, whatever that is.
#INTJ #MBTI #personality
Typing disclaimer: Hi my name is Lindsay, I'm an actual INTJ typed by actual professionals using the scientific method on a 512 scale. I didn't choose this profile, it chose me. Official type is: FM Ni/Te BPSC
lol the other day I told someone "I can be spontaneous, but I have to plan on being spontaneous"
Omg I’ve said the same thing lmao
hahaha I sometimes do that 😂🤣
C K
I have assorted an entire week every year to let all emotions out, no valve but again this is done in a very remote area so I can shout,screams and cry and mourn and be sad and insecure and all those emotions that impede decision making.
C K TRUE!!
Hahaha help yeah!
You're not an INTJ if you're not obsessed with time. Like if you want to scare an INTJ sneak out behind them and instead of "boo" say "you're losing time".
SO MUCH TRUTH
Hilariously true
This explains why I count in my head while running. I don’t listen to music or watch TV. Just count.
@@brandy3887 yep, I find music and TV incredibly distracting while I work out.
What about assertive intj's? I understand that case being true for the turbulent ones, but I am not sure for the assertive ones.
"Number 4: it's hard for you to finish things"
*laughs in ADHD*
*cries in ADHD*
INTJ with adhd lmao
kind of like me being, an enfp but with social anxiety 💀
*cries in bipolar*
*laughs in Ni-Fi loop*
Signs you're not an intj:
0:49 you hate planning
2:14 you like trying new things
3:50 you consume more for enjoyment, than for purpose
5:25 it's hard for you to finish things
6:46 you're spontaneous
I like trying new foods and im a procrastinator, guess im not an INTJ 5w6 Mel-Chol anymore, time for my ESFP era
This is so hard to tell
yeah do all these so im an INTJ
I'm literally planning all of the time.
I can't live without planning.
There will always be outliers; non-uniform individuals. Then, there are contextual variables. Some people, who are intjs, struggle to act as a uniform intj due to mental health issues (such as depression or adhd). Some like learning new things because these "new things" are already included in a category that intjs have subscribed their basic interests to -such as the arts. Some have learned to alter their outward behavior in order to benefit from unavoidable social interactions, because it will work towards the pursuit of their own goals. The list could go on. But, as an intj myself, this is just my perspective.
Being INTJ is thinking that the only true INTJ is yourself.
💀
That was deep, like ocean level deep
yikes
And at the same time being skeptical you’re an INTJ
it is getting pisssed off when seeing so many people in the comments section on tiktok for example saying "omg, same, i am also an intj"
Do you guys ever be like "I hate being the only one doing this task everyday, but I am the only one who does it right"
That may be most mums with teen-aged kids though... 😆
Always, I can't pass some tasks to somebody cause I'm absolutely sure they are gonna mess it up
@@iona6286 not really.
I'm not even an intj but this is so relatable, can't really let others do the thing because they might mess up and i only trust myself, even if i hate doing that certain something.
@@MartynaXD4774 AGREED.
#2: "You aren't an INTJ if you like trying new things"
Me: I love trying new things. Just as I suspected, I'm not an INTJ :)
#3: "You're not an INTJ if you enjoy doing things on their own, not as part of a larger plan to achieve something"
Me, who decided to enjoy trying new things as part of a larger long-term plan: *surprised Pikachu face*
Who cares if you're an intj? You're funny, being open to new is better than being stuck in your ways
I think INTJs are open to trying new things and ideas... I think they crave them.. As long as those things or ideas seem to have a purpose in their life... It could be a personal reason or a necessity. Self improvement or improving their systems is an inherent trait in INTJs..
INxJs in general aren't open to unnecessary stimuli but it doesn't mean that they dislike all stimuli. They just like to filter what they entertain.
They like trying new things but not if it doesn't benefits them. That point is kinda controversial.
New things... After a research to be sure those "new things" are worth it xD
Cringe. I can tell you’re 12
One thing I noticed about INTJ is that we tend to be a paradox but it's makes sense to ourselves, it clashes yet makes perfect sense. Unless you try to describe it. Then it's different.
🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯
you know you’re an INTJ if someone tells you that they were just cheated on instead of coming up with some sympathetic phrase to calm their nerves, your brain blanks out and you search online “what to say to someone who was cheated on”
Lmao relatable
I just ask, "Why?"
absolutely. and i thought i had some kind of problem in reacting to such things lol.
my friend once told me he was depressed, I had to google a response because people say I'm harsh whenever I try giving solutions
Omg same I also googled what to say to a friend who just ended her relationship. She was sad about it but I don't really know what to tell her? I'd probably say be sad and then get over it 🤷🏻♀️
.“I am the laziest non lazy person on the world” Basically, the way that an INTJ loses his time is searching ways of how not to lose his time Xd
Absolutely
It's not un common getting to my work monday morning exhausted by what I did those 2 last days
That’s so true.
yes, this is true.
I choked
Lol thank you
As an INTJ I unconsciously can determine if something is a waste of time or not.
The more time I spend with people the better I can be at explaining that. I loved when you broke the meta to make the distinction that we don’t read for fun, we read because there is something in it for us to have.
I literally plan when I want to be spontaneous if I think it will benefit me in the long run😂 Love this vid!
Me too
Yes!
Honestly the spontaneous feelier side of INTJs needs to be coddled like it's a child lol. I can be spontaneous as in, "Lets go on a bike trip, and just wing lunch" not "lets wing an international trip to paris right now, get the credit card" but I could probably go to paris spontaneously if we had been thinking about it for a while.
I also get surprisingly go with the flow when it's somebody else's base plan. Traveling to the "Great Wolf Lodge" with my nieces and nephews, just go with the flow and do what the kids want, their mother has the broad strokes down.
if I don't have other plans, I usually plan to be spontaneous, sometimes that's good, it calms my brain down a bit
I feel that the description of INTJ is written too optimistic. It sounds like all of us are elon musks or something.
Lol true
we have the same name and are also female INTJs :0 OMG what are the statistical chances of this happening?!
EXACTLY they say we're visionaries like wtf I just want to be productive and socially awkward leave me be
1st of all mayer briggs model is pseudoscience that accidently works and everyone love it. And the way how positively they depict each personalty is part of why it was beloved. It just found it ammusing.
@@RePhantomz yeah, pseudoscience, but...accidently??? 🤔🤔🤔
"I am the laziest non-lazy person on the planet." Me too girl.. - Fellow female INTJ
Haha right on Lianna :)
Resonates so deeply.
Same
"on the planet" that's a religious belief
With you. Gives more time to daydream. ;p
I am an INTJ artist and found this fascinating. I had a conversation with someone who wasn't sure that INTJs could be artists because this is usually considered a feeling discipline. But your conversation on reading holds true. I don't enjoy making art which is still valid. I enjoy having solved the puzzle in a visual format that demonstrated the desired outcome and assessing what tools were gained to move forward into the next phase of planning.
Another INTJ artist here. It was a very difficult jorney to become one. But when you are there it's much easier to build a functional system to earn some income comparing to my more talented and emotional coligues.
As a fellow INTJ that has used art as a means for desired outcomes in other areas, I agree with everything you stated. I hate the process, creation and having to share it, however it has proven to be very helpful for monetary gain and communicating engineering ideas. I enjoy the quiet time of reflection once it is finished.
INTJ artist too! I love to do realism because I get to dissect the subject into a bunch of pieces and put it together again. It is a problem to be solved.
i am too a INTJ artist, very weird experience in college with all those social stars XD. Art helps me visualize the things i have in my mind, the things i look for, the ones that haunt me, the things that i am. I find pleasure into fitting myself into an aesthethic way by using knowledge on colors, perspective light etc. Each drawing is a new puzzle to test my knowledge and mastery on the rules of optics, making them bend for my purposes. Success means feeling in control of my own world, it means i can. If i can, i must reach people with my ideas. That has always been the plan.
Im an artist intj too i feel the same way
As an INTJ, I finally realized from the third sign why it's easy for me to convince myself to do something that I don't want to before. I agree that most of what I do, I do because of a specific goal. Even my time for entertainment like watching video memes is planned for reasons like getting creativity and motivation. But the one thing that shocks me the most is finally understanding why people mistype me as an extrovert; it's because I see it necessary to be confident and assertive to manage something especially in group works. It becomes difficult to achieve my vision if I stay quiet in my group and I feel bothered when I'm not completely aware of what's happening in our work (tho most of the time I do most of the work). But being more spoken about my ideas, It becomes easier for me to be in control and assure that we can deliver the best output.
Exactly. I had an extremely severe social anxiety my whole life. But I knew that I would never achieve my goals if I didn't learn how to be confident around others and have the balls to take opportunities.
So now I'm actually quite social and happily engage in small talk, for one, because I know it's building a bond over time with that person, whether my coworker or a boss. They will remember me as someone who cares and is competent which can lead to being offered more opportunities down the line.
I think we are the same person
Me too！
@@7860hassan7860 I think this is all part of growth as your type. Trying new things adds to my future.
Ti- that's why you're so concerned with logical consistency
Ne - that's why you see every possible outcome (not because you're a wizard as you're inclined to believe
Si - that's why you don't like trying new things
Fe - that's why most of your problems were people related
INTj in socionics has INTP's functions :( and I wouldn't be so obstinate in telling you if you weren't so deeply arrogant. Your whole INTJ beliefs upon which you created this whole channel are actually... wrong. you're not an Ni user. you completely misinterpreted everything INTP, and with your arrogance you've fed your ego and plagiarised people
"If there is no logical reason to do something new we don't do it"
I felt that.
EXACTLY.
Yes like listening to justin beiber
@@kaushy 😭
So true
me too😭
You don’t know the true agony of an INTJ until someone tells you they need “emotional support” over a problem that can easily be fixed. Idk why and I know it’s shitty, but I get internally pissed when someone shows weakness or will refuse to acknowledge a solution to their problem...
I've come to learn to deal with it. Just makes you balance out your weaknesses, and unless your going to live solo you inevitable have to deal with people and emotinal issues, especially in romantic relationships.
Tried to console my friend over her trash ex. I told her everything I thought multiple times, and yet she only acknowledged it after he ended up cheating on her. I didn’t say anything about it to her after that, it absolutely infuriated me.
Tywin Lannister I am so glad I am not the only one who feels like that.
Yes!
And you get even more pissed when you take a little out of your precious time to actually advise someone and your advice is discarded at the end
INTJ with ADHD: Yes, we love planning but then shit happens and suffering for not reaching milestones we had planned every 2 hours begins and better not to think how next week milestone could not be delayed because it's an once a year opportunity and this will delay me one full year.
SAME i don’t enjoy reading just to read, i like to read but i LOVE learning
yeah. I read just for knowledge, if it doesn't give me knowledge idc.
Sure many people have said a phrase that I had to repeat a lot "I don't read fiction". Also looking for ways that my parents can give me one of the right book, and not one of not useful ones. I usually make wishlists but I really prefer other people choosing the book because if you choose the book you already have that knowledge at hand but if they chose it they can transfer knowledge they have that you don't know how to find
Lots of people read for fun to learn, but it depends on the topic
INTJ: “Work smarter not harder”
IM DYING OF PROCRASTINATION, i always plan things but procrastination looses it i wanna kill myself :(
@@astrielle446 what do you procrastinate with? For example, with apps like tik tok you can uninstall them until you finish your task. Make procrastinating harder than working, make the productive zone THE NEW COMFORT ZONE
@@astrielle446 if you spend most of your time on social media,try deleting the apps!I used to struggle with the same thing,until I thought that the people on social media were getting too stupid and it was draining me,so I deleted them.I also started sleeping and waking up early and my productivity increased so much.You can download them back again when you're completely sure you won't get sidetracked
This is literally on my business cards lol
The official motto of the intj.
As an INTJ, my biggest fears are the unknown and failure. That is why I resist trying new things.
Failures and criticisms are my sustenance which made me so obsessed of improving myself. Definitely made me NOT an INTJ xD
INTJerk then you're not one
INTJerk yep
@Willie A I don't get what you are trying to say. My old username used to be a reference to a line in a stupid Hulk Hogan movie. Does that mean my very existence can be reduced to being a fan of bad movies?
@Willie A Or, or, hold on...maybe I just found it rather amusing and catchy. Yet somehow it got into the realm of obsession apparently.
You sure have a way of blowing things out of proportion.
So what do you suppose would make for an appropriate (non-obsessive) moniker?
As an INFJ I find you INTJ's so fascinating. Probably because we share the same first function introverted intuition, the lense how we see the world. I relate so much with being able/wanting to look at something from 10000 different angles to understand it and not getting bored. Also the seeing every possible outcome ahead of time looking into the future, I struggle to make decisions
I'm a male INTJ, and I just feel like I'm destined to be alone romantically and/or otherwise. The few friends I have just can't wrap their head around the idea of me being okay alone but also being okay around people like once in 1-2 months 😥 I have many things to do and that includes doing absolutely nothing but thinking about what I'm gonna do eventually and also doing them according to daily plans. Someone tries to interrupt and I just turn off social media for hours.
This>> it feels like I'm wasting time on small talks but people expect me to spend my share of social connection everyday but i can't.. i prefer to check on everyone monthly or sthg lol
Hmm... I would recommend the book Models, the author is probably an ENTJ but it's a very pragmatic approach to dating (he has a great chapter on "don't go to a nightclub" if you are a software engineer). Intoverted Alpha also has a really good INTJ man specific article.
When I went to college I focused a lot on how to improve the conversations I was having, small talk is boring so I just jump directly into interesting questions. I would also play a bit of a game where I would go as long as possible without giving them my name, "What is your name? doesn't really matter, what is your favorite disney character?" Match + 1 is a good psychological technique for building intimacy. I became incredibly flirty with everyone, and then if somebody responded I could follow up. Everybody has some iNtuition try to dig it out of them try to figure out what makes them tick. Thinking back a huge amount of women weren't interested in me at all (SFs mostly), but that's great I can move onto other people. I learned to Palm Read and a couple Introspective Imagination things but really that type of "gamey" stuff crashes immediately when you run out of them and the ESFP you are talking to wants to go back to the nightclub.
I have found that if you want to talk about Nietzsche philosophy you just volunteer that information. "I read a book about Nihilism yesterday" is in fact a way to start a conversation and skips the small talk, just make sure they are also volunteering information about themselves. I personally like to try and get them talking as much as possible since it saves my energy, I just get the giddiest smile on my face when I am successful in getting them to talk forever (hopefully they think it's because I am interested).
INTJs are extremely attractive, you just need to start displaying your best traits and making sure they are the best they can be. Some women are incredibly attracted to blunt honesty, if you just open with your blunt honesty authentically those that aren't leave you alone and those that do flock to you. I tend to open with unconventional dialogue when I meet people and then settle into a more small-talky conversations if we continue to interact.
So be an INTJ come up with a plan/template: "express direct romantic interest until someone responds, banter about something or other (maybe just volunteer information about life), first date at art gallery, make sure to show emotions to foster connection, follow up in a few days or immediately if that is what you feel, evaluate and be honest with them about the situation, and keep open to possibilities." and master it and iterate on it until it works. Get the reps in and master the social realm like it's a game.
I felt the same way until I had a guy who kept pursuing me. I gave him a chance to just hang out as friends and he was willing to play 1,000,000 questions (as I do to get to know anyone if I think you are even worth my time and/or trust), surprisingly he stuck around and didn't run away in fear.😆 Along with being a tomboy I am also a very intimidating INTJ which I found it odd such a calm even tempered ISTP (possible ISTJ?) could/would stick around. He's now my boyfriend, bless his patient optimistic heart.😂
When she said "I am the laziest non lazy person on the planet", I felt that on a spiritual level because I'm a female INTJ who is pretty lazy but also not at the same time.✊😔
Haha YES on a spiritual level.
Hi, could you give an example? Because I don't really get the phrase.
chrioni dalida - I can only say how I relate to the statement. At work I’m like a machine. I’m extremely efficient and very good at my job. I can get tasks done faster and better than anyone else. I have a coworker who is a narcissist. I’ll get fixated on something she did. So, when I get home I start researching narcissism. 8 hours later I’m still reading about narcissism. I didn’t actually do anything productive while at home. I didn’t have a purpose except to read about why my coworker is a manipulative twat. I’m a lazy turd while at home and a beast while at work. 🤷🏻♀️
Also, my job allows me to leave as soon as my work is finished so I frequently only work 30 hours a week. Literally every other person in the building will play on the computer while trying to get in their 40 hours. I crush it and then peace out so that I can be alone with my intrusive thoughts.
Mood
@@tweetyangel19 For me it's like because I work so efficiently and am so goal-oriented, I end up burning out easily. I under-promise constantly at work because I don't want people to rush me, I don't like to feel stressed out.
I get bored with my work a lot and find myself needing to take mental breaks where my mind gets to wander off on whatever topic has interested me recently.
THen when I go home I'm constantly researching things, "for fun" I guess you would say. ..So I'm lazy in the sense that I don't have a lot of energy for things that don't interest me.
I watch this because I doubt myself to be an INTJ, turn out that I'm a hardcore INTJ
Same.
😅😅 Same
Or probably ISTJ. ISTJ is so similar to INTJ
@@Vi-pv3xi cognitive functions are different
Yep. Just to make sure
summary =
1. if you don’t like planning ( you like going with the flow)
2. You like to try new things (trying new things for no reason or with nothing to gain)
3. You consume more core enjoyment than consuming for purpose (doing something that won’t inform you of something or with nothing to learn)
4. It’s hard for you to finish things (you get lost and don’t know where to start or what to finish first)
5. you’re spontaneous (you do things in random burst, no system or planning)
how you have that much self trust that you are an intj . and i can say that i wasted 8:17 min of my life in empty space
Me before video: "Of course I am INTJ"
Still watched it though.
Me after: "Yeah, still an INTJ"

Yes, you're all very special.
What do INTJs do when they are getting tired of researching a topic and need to take a break?
They go and research the 2nd topic!
Brilliant!
Spot On!
Yep
As I have a couple CZcams videos half finished... Why do I do this.
WarsOfate this is so funny, but so true!!!! So not normal!
It’s like my brain can get tired of specific information, but can never get tired of information, generally. As long as it’s information I consider worthy of... unraveling.
Your video is amazing,and it is very helpful. And let me compliment you real quick, you are gorgeous. Have a nice day
Hi LindSay, I'm just here to tell, this video is fantastic. I'm an ISTP and I've never felt so focused in my life, such a clear logical explanation and I understood ever single bit of it. No detail was missed, I absorbed everything, GREAT JOB!
I know this is just random info about INTJs but I am just, impressed by your explanation!
If you are planning 5 different things in you head at the same time, then you are an INTJ.
Too real. I'm more of a "refine the concepts to find the truth" type myself, but there's a hell of a lot of planning for the next five minutes, five hours, five days, etc. going on in the background.
@@AlastorTheNPDemon This is more like a curse , right?
@@Ahmet-fg4ul My brain won't shut the hell up, so I suppose so.
yeah and doing none :D
oh god so true 😂 like idk how even
"You're not an INTJ if you're not obsessed with time" Me looking at all my alarms for laundry, study time, break time, shower time having so many reminders on my phone and planner. I thought I had an issue lol.
Also, I only enjoy reading books if they benefit me in some way like self-improvement books, psychology books, or fiction books only because it improves my vocabulary and it's a good distraction away from electronics.
I actually feel extremely understood and validated on this channel. Thank you
hi, what books do you recommend me? I want to read something new
@@anaisscarleth6011 yesssss I wanna know. Did you read any? Suggestions plz. INTJ suggestions only lolll
@@ENZERYN i read the art of loving, and i liked it, women who run with the wolves is good too, and im reading another book but it is in spanish "el cielo está abierto" it talks about the Pineal gland (sorry for my bad english)
@@anaisscarleth6011 Ouhh. Thank you sm. I'll surely search about all of them. And, the English was good, it's k (:
Ikr i feel pressured everytime the day ends and reflect on what I had done with the day. I also do time management and plan for the day so I would not waste my time unproductive.
I really appreciated the points you made in this video; everything was explained so well. My only issue was the use of several absolutes, which can detract from an argument. That aside, your dives into components of INTJ behavior were super interesting and informative!
Excellent video! Thanks!
You know you're an intj when you watch this video at 1.5x to consume the info and get to the point faster.
you got me xdd
I’m literally doing this now 😂😂 but actually x1.75
I sped it up too. Lol. I just need to k ow the bullet points and maybe 1 to 2 sentence explanations. This could have been done in 2 minutes.
On 2x here
Lmaooo why are you reading my mind
“I love to read when I know the information I need is in the content.” 100% accuracy
I got goosebumps and started laughing when she Said that because it resonates so much 😂
yes so true
😭 true
Yessssss
How about this. If you’re an INTJ and you search for something online, expecting it to be educational, but upon watching the content you find out that it’s just gatekeeping identity jargon and socially polarizing instead. I cringed both from the video and this comment section. Goodbye.
Thank you for making this video, it clarified something for me in a new light about why I choose what I do for reading, which is always for a larger purpose.
I think the second topic should actually be "intjs don't like trying new things if it's not worth it" being an intj i love trying new things, but I easily get bored if the result isn't as fast as I imagined or if it isn't following the path i planned.
this fits perfectly with the third topic, I do like reading and I do like trying new books, but the books must be useful for something or I must aready enjoy that kind of books, and even when I read "just" for entertaining, I like to put a deeper meaning to that reading, i like to try to learn anything from that book.
Totally agree. I try new things to keep optimizing my time, of course after the adapting it to my system
Me too, I love trying new things if it satisfies a curiosity of mine and after researching it with a 70% chance I'm going to like the results 😁.
I actually try new things for a very logical reason. Since INTJs operate off intuition, the more reserve information and patterns we can draw from the more accurate we can plan and predict the future in order to create efficient and functional response to achieve our goals.
There are many useful parallels between various subjects and topics and personally I find that knowing as many different things and experiences as I can, while overwhelming, provides me with much more intuitive insight about the world than most people, as well as most INTJs.
For example, art and IT. Not related. Understanding how artists think and what their objectives are allow me to better create systems that support artists and their needs, which allows me to maximize my value in a professional capacity, which allows me to enjoy more opportunity and aids in being lazy later on when an obscure art application isnt working right.
I took on gardening, because I believe its a required life skill to create and maintain my own food supply.
So INTJs, while they may not like the newness of something, will like the challenge pf creating new systems to overcome the new topic, and so long as the new topic has utility, it should be a useful experience which while might not bring enjoyment, should bring deep satisfaction and add to the confidence our type innately carries through life.
I have a plan for my future which will involve trying new things, siffting through what works and does not. I think long and hard about the best path to succeed ,like someone else said if it doesn't work within the allotted time I drop it and look for something else to take it's place, it's not i don't like trying new things it's more of a gaining the right skills to get the job done attitude .
Yeah Exactly! when she said they don't like trying new things I was so astonished, bc I personally feel (as an INTJ) to satisfy curiosity and thirst for more knowledge we will go anywhere and everywhere to get what we want
I am fun, I’m fcking hilarious, people just don’t appreciate it.
i know how it feels unu
YES!
As an ENTP I find INTJs fun. (even tho I know only 2)
YESS OMG NO ONE GETS IT
only those who are compatible to us (may it be the same personalities or other certain personalities) will appreciate our humor. while those that didn't probably has a different type of humor (and personality) than us that's why they couldn't understand our humor.
Sorry I'm not good at explaining stuffs plus my english is not really good 😂 but i hope u understand what my point is
I share most of same thoughts and experiences as you do, that's why I visit your channel so much, keep going. Good job.
This was cathartic. So many things you mentioned go against the stereotype which had me questioning my type for so long. Happy to finally relate.
I’m either an extreme planner or I just don’t plan whatsoever, no in between. I rely on my intuition to get through an unplanned task.
That’s a good plan too 😉
@@InternetLiJo - Only an intj would want to put themselves into a classification box.
M W Yeah I’m a procrastinator and the Ni is the reason why I can continue to get away with it.
intj is all about effiency so whatever gets the job done will do
@M W Same. I plan religiously when I think the stakes are high, but in general I just use Ni and F to solve abstract problems on the spot or circumvent them using my understanding of the people involved.
"I love to read when I know the answer I need is in the content" I never felt so related to an intj phrase
It's hard to take these anecdotal examples as gospel because I relate to this as an ENxP.
@@wearejungians certified bruh moment
Also relatable for consume last!
@@InternetLiJo That makes sense. I've got to dive deeper into the animals as that part's still fairly confusing for me.
Ay. So true..
This video has helped me A LOT! Now I'm sure I'm not INTJ but actually INTP! Also I love the purple color of your hair and wall as it matches the NT color on 16personalities. Despite the test being not really accurate, I still love the colorful avatars!
I like the sentence ,,I am the laziest non lazy person on this planet” I can really relate to this. I usually don’t do anything if I don’t have any logical and good reason. When I find a logical reason to do it I always do it as fast as I can, to be effective and not waste my time. That’s way I rarely put things off until later. People often call me lazy because of my energy-saving lifestyle, which doesn’t include doing useless and meaningless things, but I don’t see it that way.
I'm an INTJ and I like to try new things because it gives me wider knowledge. Then I can be more accurate with efficiency maximising.
Same here 👋
Hear hear.!
Yeah bro!🙊
According to this video, u r not unfortunately, so, farewell :(
Same.
INTJ- "I love to read" - proceeds to open huge nonfiction book crammed with all the knowledge.
I prefer to read textbooks rather than fiction. I guess that is boring to some people but fiction bores me. I prefer documentaries to movies.
Once someone pulled out a first aid kit because someone needed bandages and I saw the little first aid manual and immediately started reading it. Like this knowledge may come in handy someday...!
don't forget "War and Peace" by Leo Tolstoy
This woman freaked me the FUCK OUT talking about the reading thing. Thats literally me.
1. Doesn’t like planing
2. Like to try new things
3. You consume more for enjoyment instead of purpose
4. It’s hard for you to finish things
5. Your spontaneous
"I can't get bored" that's why I'm staying always alone in my room.. 😐🙂

Indeed pal. I really want other people to understand this. There's a difference b/w staying alone because you like it and actually feeling lonely.
for real sometimes I don't even need electronics, just the solace of my own mind is good enough.
im an intj. i stay up all night reading and im quick to critique a book even way before it started.
My gf is freaking out that I can do things and do more things and find more things to do until I fall asleep. I can feel you.
oh god i thought i was fake , i can rest in peace now that im actually an intj
Me too
You are fake if u think she is one.
@@georgea.4125 Intj does not like to fit in a box; and all the intj the way they are depicted, give impression to people that they are the type which no one wanted to or talked to ( for example ) at school, who will be vaguely dressed up like a homeless, or did not take a shower for months, it's actually the complete opposite. Well, the INTJ is more likely the guy who is not bullied by his pairs nor he is bullying, not friend with everyone yet friend with everyone, passable in all school fields, yet astonishingly excellent and brilliant in some fields where every other pairs have failed. The INTJ is not the guy with glasses, unattractive fashion, and blue moody ambiance, they have quiet high bubbly personalities when they want to #defyingodds #stereotypes he is quite a stand out.

Oh my , sorry to hear that , but are you sad because you are an introvert , or is it because you are actually an INTJ ? , also for those who copy the INTJ’s are just to show off , like you know most of the tv character’s MBTI’s INTJ , I mean thats my opinion , also i hope you don’t regret being an INTJ
Baggelis Iwannou i will take it as compliment
This was great! Now I know why I can never move away from my hometown. I can look at my city in so many different ways and patterns, and I have such a deep love & connection with my roots. It makes so much sense now. Thank you!
it seems like you are pretty happy to know and understand your type, which is good 4 you. congrats. i'm still not sure of my beast but it has some of that.
I never EVER comment on youtube vids, but i have to say, you hit the spot on "INTJ never do things just bc they are doing it for enjoyment." I was frowning when you said it, cuz i read books, all kinds of types of books on my spare time, and thought i was simply enjoying it. then i realized, i was only reading to learn how to write better and how to phrase things in better ways. damn. the "doing things only for a purpose" happens to subconsciously, i even fooled myself.
Thank you Skye 👽
being an intj means sleeping 5 hours/night because despite liking it, you feel like it is a waste of time, so therefore you prefer doing whatever you have to do instead of sleeping
I am a kid and somehow I survive with 6 hours of sleep everyday, I just convinced my brain that time is important and i will die anyways so i need to wake up early, and wake up at 5am everyday idk I need 9 hours sleep but I survive with 6. Well if you get problems just suck it up and go your way because time is EVERYTHING.
I thought I was the only one who thought this way. I would love to not need to sleep so I could use the 24 hours of the day and when I told this to someone, they said "oh, so you want to have insomnia" and I was like no??? I just want to use the whole day without my human being necessities getting on the way
@@camilaperez8385 EXACTLY. people look at me in a weird way and tell me i am talking bullshit / i am "workaholic" for wanting to use all 24h of the day, instead of sleeping a quarter of them
Sleeping is a waste of time!
Yesterday I slept a total of an hour and thirty five min when I realized I wouldn't be able to get my full eight hours of sleep and opted to do todays work because in my mind it wasn't worth it to waste that time sleeping when I could clear my schedule from important tasks in less time than I anticipated. Though I am very sleep deprived right now and might suffer, I can now squeeze those 8 hours this afternoon.
(Please excuse if some of the things I wrote were grammatically incorrect english is not my first or second language)
I kept researching stuff about my type because the stereotypes seem too mean and so unlike me (especially intjs a work). I have no idea how many times I took tests. Thanks for this video. I can now think about how true the stuff you said were and how it can affect my future so I shall now use all the info I can get about intjs to create my masterplan
As an ENTP who spent a lot of time of my life in my shadow (INTJ), I cannot agree more 🤣. Doing the same thing everytime and grinding that way in a better way is definitely one of the best.
QUICK SUMMARY:
1 You don’t like planning
2 You like to try new things
3 You consume for enjoyment, not purpose
4 It’s tough for u to finish things.
5 Spontaneous + fun.
Wait I think I wrote it wrong..
Thank you. I was searching for this exact piece.
@@Just1Independent1 2 You like to try new things.
How can you be spontaneous if you do not like new things? INTJs get bored of the same things also?
So basically an ESFP 😂

Don't mind me, I'm just here for science

I’m glad this is short and concise. It’s confirmed I’m not an istj… I’m shocked 😳 😂 ✌🏼
Thank you for a video! Your video thanks to I had been understanding that I'm truly INTJ. When I wrote the MBTI test, I was shocked that have very rare type of personality, specially among women.
Who else gets scared whenever she says “You’re not and INTJ if you...” like sis
then you are not really an intj
@@ateneacastillo8887 Why? I was like that as well while watching the video and after watching I'm even more sure that I'm an INTJ, becaues none of these points applied to me. It's just that I've already accepted myself as an INTJ and it would be burdensome to search for my "true" type again and my hours of research on INTJs would be wasted. It has nothing to do with being or not being an INTJ.
@@ateneacastillo8887 if you think this video is a great example of what an intj actually is I have bad news for you, this girl got herself mistyped so bad
@@duda7801 what's her actual mbti?
@@angelzitos I see strong Te. Ni is super abstract and I don't see it in her. I believe she's ESTJ. Ironically, there's tons of people who types her as ESFP, but I think it has to do with some old videos of her showing lots of Se-Fi and some reddit posts she used to make. So basically she supposably is playing a character, but I don't know much about it. I'd stick with ESTJ or maybe ENTJ with underdeveloped Ni.
If you feel like you learn faster than others...
If you feel pressured when something goes wrong with your expectations and predictions...
We are not competitive, we don’t always want to win, we just don’t want to be wrong...
You know your limits and potentials...
You literally can shut your self in a room for a good whole month unless something went wrong or some idea popout giving you a purpose for going out...
Plan, plan, plan, plan,,,,,.....
YUP, you're an INTJ.
...I never related to something so much
One of my friends taught me how to play a piano duet and she was impressed how I picked it up in minutes. She's taught people who needed all morning to get it down.
Yes
get out of my head sir
Excellent.....! Very nice job always at describing the INTJ temperament. Strong INTJ here....for better or worse... Ha......
Omg, the last one almost made me break a tear. Well said!

I think that it’s fit to the ‘T’, because the word fit end in T.
@@thedarknessherself3454 Oh my goodness shut up hahaha 😂🤣

I never realized how much of an INTJ I was until I discovered the power of Excel. I have a spreadsheet for literally everything. EVERYTHING.
I knowww! I love visualizing everything on excel
Honey, I've done VBA programs in Excel so I auto-fill records in a table by entering data into the top row (most fields defaulting to the most common value) and clicking a button!
Oh I love Excel and Google Drive. My Excel documents tend to be a giant mess though (Te on spot 7)
Notion is amazing
Do you register your data on sleep, hours awake and procrastination?
I collect all sorts of this kind of data, but with dear paper and writing
I will took the idea of excel
I thought about it before, but for other subjects
Being an INTJ hit me when I realized I had 5 different plans for "What to do after high school" at the age 15, when I wasn't even in high school. 2 of those plans were actually options for "If all failed". I was so confused when my friends didn't know which subject they wanna choose for their high school while I had university and college already planned.
Hello, I’m fifteen and I took the personality test, bringing me to this video and then your comment. Thank you for calling me out.
Yes i have like many options created. It's just the EXECUTION
Oh my god. I remember planning my life since I was 9. I changed my route at 12 though. My 9 year old selfs plan is now my backup!
SO RELATABLEEE!!!!
LMAOO same im a 15 year old intj and i have like 4 college backup plans
Spot on my friend👀
Videos such as this are mildly entertaining on the informative side of things. Definitely either an INTJ or an ENTJ... having a hard time finding which fits me more...
My brain: OPTIMIZE! OPTIMIZE EVERYTHING THEN RELAX!
Other people: We are going to do it the only way we know how, the hard way!
Hahaha it’s the truth
I love this comment so much!
It makes me frustrated when they do that. Especially if I offer an idea to to it easier and they don't accept it.
@@zjaivoncole7269 relateable!
I actually can relate to this. I tried to speak out a better and possibly the fastest way for our group project once (I had no choice if I want grades) I was literally pissed off at the fact that they just ignored it and continued on what they know how which is the long and painful one and then complain later on on how we still have so much stuff to do cuz everything is just too slow.
EDIT:
After that, I've never spoken nor suggested my ideas to them anymore because people just won't listen to me and prefer to be stupid.
“You consume more for entertainment, rather than purpose.”
Me, and ENTP: wait, those things are different?
Lmao excellent ENTP comment
Lebecc The Computer same ISFP. Love ENTP though. They are everything i’m not and aspire too.
Exactly!! Entertainment is the purpose!
Jon-Robert Corasanti - or, the purpose is entertaining.
So am I right to say INTJ don't consume random knowledge? for example, intjs don't like to watch animal planet unless they plan on being a zookeep or something similar in the future? I'm trying to figure out whether I'm an INTP or INTJ, I like watching random stuff that I don't have a plan to use any of that information in the future, but in stuff such as work/school I only learn the bare necessities to get the job done. It seems like I have 2 different personalities type and being leisure and work is pretty much taking up equal amounts of time, I'm not sure which personality I'm "using" more. Also, a lot of this tend to rely on the intj having a plan, what if an intj does not have a main goal or plan for the future (ie. doesn't know what he/she wants to do)
“The best type to be, is the type that you actually are.” This is a very upfront yet caring statement from an intj. -an infj appreciating
Signs you’re not an INTJ:
1. You hate planning
2.
3.
Never mind I don’t have time for this
Loool
What if you make a plan but don't stick to it completely? (INTJ - plegmatic optimist)
@@khygvnnjnn4301 haha thats my life, i love planning things, but never stick to it, and yet I also don’t rly procrastinate
I can relate - I just looked for time stamps for half of the video, it's definetly too long for me
INTJ : pick usefull knowledge to reach goals
INTP : add anything to the head as the goal itself
Beautifully said
Cheers for the insight. My mindset has recently started to flit between INTP and INTJ, ever since I stopped pursuing music in school after 3 years to do computing, mostly because I want to program indie games and have a vision for one that't been inspired by everything I've experienced. Sometimes, I sit in my head to ponder everything and go on long tangents, other times, I have a clear and concise plan to get me through a project like clockwork, with no wasted energy. Sometimes, I pay no heed to the outer world so that I can focus on what I'm doing, other times, I could be be making wild speculations about current events drawn from my own observations and understanding of the situation. It might be that I'm a slightly more conscientious INTP with a more developed Si or an INTJ who can spare some time with Ti and Ne after doing everything that needs doing. Or literally anything I've just said right now makes me a through and through INTP.
I came into this video expecting to roll my eyes at the content... but MAN DID YOU NAIL IT! I totally feel you in regards to the 2nd section, "You like to try new things". I have zero qualms with the idea behind trying new things... but I'm not going to try anything new or go out of my bubble unless I'm looking for a more effective method/option that is better catered to my preferences/goals. Something as simple as shopping around for a product, take for example earphones. I will scour the earth and try new earphones until I find the pair that I am in love with because it meets my desired criteria, and once I find it I will go out of my way to purchase a minimum of two to three pairs of the same head phones because the Task of finding my earphones is complete, and the next issue that I'm going to run into is that item becoming discontinued and then I'll have to hunt AGAIN for another pair of ear phones that don't piss me off because my current ear phones are now going to be impossible to find new. I will be able to scrutinize every single pair that I try out and will absolutely tear them apart, but once I find my pair I will ABSOLUTELY CHAMPION THEM. Once I'm done making my selection - the process is done and now on to the next task...
The part about reading is so true!!! I’m an INTJ and I don’t love to read just because. I read about a subject or topic that I am currently into. I don’t read just for the sake of reading. LoL.
Haha YES!!
Relatable 100%
Yup! I have a huge difficulty in reading about things that I don't care about even if it's for the sake of completing my degree. Like, for medical school, I need to read a lot of literature but I have no interest. Now give me a history book that explores ancient traditions? I'll finish the book in half an hour.
I don't necessarily love the action of reading. I like the outcome of reading. My goal is to learn new things. This doesn't mean that I only read non-fiction though. Even when I read novels my goal is to understand people better by reading about their emotions.
Excuse me if there is a spelling or grammer mistake, English is not my first language.
I’m literally the same way unless it’s manga. But I like to analyze the characters of a story so I guess it’s the same lol
Watching this video, I realized.......
That I'm definitely an INTJ
Hahah yes 👽
Same here))
Same lol
haa same!!!
same
Infj here! I Totally disagree, you are SO MUCH FUN!!! Love the way you think, great sense of humor!!
I always see that INTJ stare in most of your vids lol. One of the indicators for me to identify an INTJ.
Facts about intj:
We always use at least a few couple of high vocabulary in our speech. Its not for trying to look intelligent, it just INTJ is really intelligent.
Sometimes the best word is just the best word lol
It is more efficient to use 1 word to describe any complex idea. Rather than describe the forest I'm walking through as being in a temperate climate with trees of oak, hickory etc and broad leaves that fall off at maturity, you could just say "deciduous".
@@ChrisTheAdMan I feel the need to chime in. I often believe in using specific words to describe certain concepts and fully subscribe to the notion of operationalization, but more recently, I've found myself questioning whether language truly has the capacity to describe everything. For example, can justice or love truly be defined by mere words? I feel as if there are many limitations on what can be adequately described with words.
I don't deal well with ignorance, and much of my problem with videos about INTJ types is that many of them assume too much. For example, I push myself to learn new things all the time, even if they don't seem immediately useful. How can anyone assume that learning something new won't give them access to a new perspective and open a new realm to knowledge? While I prefer being alone, I have no trouble talking to others. They are also a source of potential information. However small the input most people have at least something useful to teach you. Additionally, I find myself constantly looking to change parameters in the way I do things, so that I can challenge myself to come up with better methods. I think regardless of your personality type it is paramount to become comfortable with living in some level of discomfort as that's what is required for maximum growth.
It really frustrates me if I can't use a word that is unfamiliar because I may appear that I'm trying to look "superior"("smart" shaming is rlly prevalent from where I'm from) and the audience may not understand what I'm trying to say which then might lead to misunderstanding, but it is the perfect word to use to convey a message. This is why I don't like people who whine about " you could have used a simpler word, why chose the unfamiliar one?" Well maybe you should try to put some effort in your knowledge about vocabulary cuz I don't like to dumb everything down for you.
Shah Stereo yes, I have to say the exact word that will be perfect for the situation too
I used to hate a lot of myself being an intj when I didn't know I was an intj, I hate the fact that I don't like to try new things or meet new people. I admire those who like explorations. I hate that I couldn't be spontaneous and live in the moments like others. I hate that I couldn't finish reading a book. because once I find the answers I am done. so basically, I hate myself and didn't accept myself as who I am. I grew up in a family and culture where I was seen as weird and I was discouraged a lot. But I never gave up the deep desire to be true to myself. Now I realize who I am and feel like Oh shit, I have one of the most gifted minds amount people. So that was why. I feel so much stable and comfortable with myself now.
Yes!
Find you an ENFP to date. They bring us fun and you give them stability
“Gifted mind”? This comment section is one big joke.
@@georgea.4125 Sounds like somebody is insecure...
I really don't think not liking to try new things is an actual INTJ staple. That's Si, not Ni. Introverted intuition may not be as "jumping from one concept to another" as Ne or as adventurous as Se, but it's a very conceptual and abstract way of perceiving reality. In many ways, Ni is by itself "different" enough to freak many sensors, so there isn't much an Ni dominant type would consider too weird to even think about. In my opinion, INTJs may be perceived as somewhat resistant to change because they structure long range plans around quite particular visions, which means they are indeed very invested in what they decide to do. Even then, though, that resistance will be about *doing* something, not about considering it or thinking about it. They may be resistant to put time and assets into something else because they'll want to use them to pursue their vision, but they are quite open and fond of exploring new ideas, which are also new things.
Omg, this is pretty much what I was thinking and it made me doubt wether I actually was an intj.
But why do I switch from one personality to another? for months I am very methodical, active, motivated, very rigid with my schedule and I feel like I can do anything and then I become lazy, unmotivated "self destructive" and impulsive for a long period of time. is it perhaps a form of burn-out?
"5 Signs You’re Not an INTJ" aka, "5 reasons people think you're weird"
Dead.
True
ENTP here, and i dont think youre weird :D
I can see why you only want to put effort into something when you see a chance of it teaching you in the right way :D What is wrong with wanting to be efficient? :D
Also it takes away a lot decision fatigue, when 60% of your days are made up of habits, right? (Although i personallyy LOVE to have the freedom to decide again, every single day, because that makes every day a different and new experience :D and nothing is set yet, and i still have all this possibilities

@@Lyllie_ I'm amazed about ENTPs. I mean, why they tend to love us, the most boring and akward MBTI type? Every ENTP I met wanted to know more of me. Even my fiancé, who really worked hard to made himself a place in my life, is one and is completely in love with me and my female INTJ personality.
All my life I felt misunderstood by everyone. Reading this chat gives me so much comfort
sameee!!
Thanks for sharing that, it really helps clarify. Confirms I’m an INTJ. I always said I’d rather learn something then be entertained.
Do any other INTJs enjoy doing paperwork? Everyone always hates paperwork but I find it so fun. It’s relaxing. It’s not mentally challenging but just something simple you can do. It’s satisfying filling it in and even more fun when there’s maths involved.
