Thank you again for enjoying my content and supporting my channel!
@Jay Jay Hey there. its called repressed because it is opposing to the main function, not only fourth. Like a weighted see saw, one must weigh more.
Your video is extremely quiet, and I’m wearing in ear ear buds
😮
I am an INTJ as well, many thanks to breaking apart all given meanings of those traits for a more deep conscious understanding it was fairly helpful, continue creating beneficial educational content!
Intuition/Pattern Recognition in a book: Blink (Malcolm Gladwell).
INTJ's leadership: " Fine, I'll do it myself"
Purple INTJ
Yeah, takes conscious effort to correct that. Even when I outwardly “do that” I secretly do the things I know won’t get done in time or the correct way.
Thanos is an INTJ!
Exactly what I think to my self all the time when school can't teach me what I want.
So true
How to torture INTJs? : Have them work for incompetent and dumb bosses with messed up bound to fail planning and unorganized workspace.
That's how I became manager tbh. Couldn't take it anymore, now I am responsible for a bunch of idiots and I kinda hate and love it.
@@valvicious13 That's why managing one idiot is way easier than managing a bunch of them :)
You can organize your boss if you don't mind doing something you don't get paid for :)
@@aammssaamm If my pay is already low and my opinion is not welcome then I wont even bother. Heck, I enjoy seeing them drown when I told them their was flawed and they refused to listen to me. (Just my rant from previous job I quit since it was pure disaster)
@@dragonarch0 Try stocks :) why wasting your talent on idiots :)
INTJ problems:
1. Forgetting thougts that you just had 1 minute ago.
2. Being a contrarian even in subjects you actually agree on.
3. Randomly remembering cringe moments from 5-10 years ago.
YES JESUS FUCKING CHRIST
Everybody does that fuck off you’re not special
@@leiffreed5999 Barnum effect my friend...
Accurate
‘Contrarian’ my ass.
I’m an INTJ and I always have that creepy moment when I say the line of a movie I haven’t seen just before the characters say it.
Same , it's hard to enjoy most movies cause i know what's going to happen
@Pamelia Ferreira try bladerunner 2049, The Lighthouse , Joker , hannibal series these didn't disapoint
same i'm glad that I"m not the only one.
Oh god i have this problem
LOL.... it’s annoying when I say it out loud and it’s not verbatim because I used a synonym
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.
We just want rules that make sense. Not some nonsense that makes zero sense.
I've never heard a more INTJ statement in my life
I, as a INTJ, calculate the risk of consequences to the benefit of breaking a rule.
I hate exceptions to rules. I would rather things be re-categorized than something be an exception to a rule.
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.
I’m the kid in a group project that is happy to do all of the work because I can’t stand when someone doesn’t do it the way I do things
Yep. OR I'll try to teach everybody the best way to do it because I so passionately want them to have the amazing knowledge that makes me so happy and could make them happy too, if only they understood. But alas, they just don't care.
So true. Im not even stressed about doing all the work as long as the project is done in the most efficient way possible.
J Pa Yep, I’ll happily do all of the work if it means I won’t have to go back and fix everyone’s errors, which takes longer than me just doing it in the first place.
I was the kid who’d never show up to school because I everything there annoyed me.
I thought i was weird and unsociable!!!
Comforting to know at least someone like me is out there. Hey y'all
You know you're a true INTJ when you did Myers Briggs 10 minutes ago and now you're 5 video's deep into INTJ's.
Make sure you're not mistyped
G. Henckens holy shit yes
Try 3 hours of research
no not true my whole me won't take me 10 minutes to know me
to prove it 100% I will dig more and more and no videos will tell me who I'm I, i don't even know if the people in the videos are efficient enough to tell and determine who you are
You caught me
I love being INTJ but what bugs me is that it’s so hard to find people you really vibe with
Luckily on the internet you can find your type of people, but IRL?
Rarely
The thing is we can't like people that easily 😂
@@melamr0017 tru haha
yeah...
Preaching. I have very few high quality friends.
an intj wants to be a leader if he masterd all of the proccess
an intj does not like to lead unless he knows everything thats going on, so he can think of every possible situation and if at this stage he will want to lead
Alex Sander I was at a company for 5 years until I decided I knew enough about several areas in the company to start applying for leadership positions. Then I saw people with little knowledge achieve those positions as I was starting to apply and lost interest in pursuing them.
@@rayray2096 yeh once u see what ever ur worked ur ass of for turned out to be worthless ul lose intrest
If you have your own plan it might stil work
For example intj starts mastering making cookies afther 5 year he finaly gets it starts selling them, notices other guys makin cookies 2that arent that experienced itd basicly the same thing hed lose intrest
If he has a plan like oke but im gonne make my cookies like this and do different marketting
He could stil feel like its worth it else it would feel like wasted time
Alex Sander 100% NAILED IT!!
I started in deepwater drilling in 99 - after 3 years i learned the rig and operating parameters and was ready to do the damn thang, SUPERVISORS HATE WHEN YOU KNOW MORE ABOUT THINGS THAN THEY DO!! THEY CANNOT CONTROL WHAT IS MORE INTELLIGENT THAN THEM!!
This comment is a great insight on my own persona. Thank you
"Even when I'm in a crowded room I feel by myself. Everybody's fake I guess I'll keep it real by myself."
You need to meet some INFPs, INFJs and ENTJs. They are not fake. I especially love INFPs.
I, a focused INTJ, (Rational Mastermind) have been very happily married to a wonderful ESFP lady, for 50 happy years. 'sk8er'.... Never met a less 'fake' person in my long life :)
It may feel lonely at times but I bet you like being your unique self no matter where you are.
I like staying in the corner thinking about stuff
INFJ🖐
INTJs also welcome disagreement, as long as it is well presented/logical. They are best suited to learn from these encounters, as opposed to being defensive like most other personality types.
I'm more INFJ in that department 😉
Not that I'm defensive. I can sense when others are defensive towards me.
You aren't entitled to your opinion, you're entitled to your informed opinion.
key words..."well presented/logical". fucking can not stand people who debate through emotions. mental nails on a chalk board
Up until the point that someone mistakes feelings for facts. At that point, the conversation is over.
YES. Unfortunately, my area of interest is politics, where logic doesnt seem to matter. It's incredibly frustrating.
INTJs are tortured souls in a lot of ways.
I feel this statement very much.
Greatest gift with side effects
Honestly I'm getting so used to it that it's hard to imagine life can be less lonely and mentaly painful, i feel like it playing the victim and moaning about it is useless, better focuss on the positive ! ;)
A gift and a curse.
i find that hardest part was learning how to deal with the taunts and mocking remarks of coworkers and supervisors who do shit intentionally to get a rise out of me, yet when they need a hardass i consistently have been the one they look to. they have attempted to "reassure" me that their jokes on my behalf are meant in good fun and it would irritate me more if they were worth concerning myself with
I am an INTJ and no one can understand why I didn’t mind being completely isolated during covid lockdown. It was absolutely the most relaxing time of my life.
I joked with a friend about how I had already been "social distancing" for over a decade.
Mate I feel you. Lockdown was basically the best period of my life. Got so much done, never felt alone, just a lot of time for myself without distraction of any kind from the messy outside world. Then we came back to normal and I enjoy normal life, but my productivity and efficiency was at the top during lockdown.
I remember it so much
I got a lot of thinking done!
But f the govt for telling me what to do.
I remember a moment in my childhood when the concept of being put into prison as a punishment was explained to me. I never told anyone what my thoughts were: "this is not so bad as long as books are being handed to me..."
"INTJ's want to know what is causing what, and the rest of the world doesn't seem to be interested in this"
I feel that in my soul.
I still remember my parent's akward smile whenever I tell them something interesting when I was young.
I don't know what is wrong with the rest of them. How could you not want to know what is causing what ??!! I have to know, but then I'm weird when I start talking about some obscure thing no one gets.
I have a coworker that got a little hung up on how I'm full of information. I told him I'm very curious, I don't like being confused and I like to be right. He is also impressed how I am okay with being alone.

Your profile image is especially annoying in this comment section 😂
@@harrycrosswell2844 yes my body just hurt me when I saw it😂
I feel like an idiot smacking my phone 😂😂
@@harrycrosswell2844 as an intj I am laughing but so annoyed by that bug xD
Yessss 😂
INTJ's are a walking paradox of contradictions.
I can argue against the argument of my original argument that argued against the first argument.
Omg same... Every time I argue with a person in my head I think of 10 ways they could contradict what I’m saying.
I do this all in my head to make sure my argument is correct BEFORE stating my argument.
Same here
@@nickpastorino5370 Absolutely, Nick !!! Totally agree; me too :)
Same and it confuses the heck out of people. I just don't see things in simplistic black and white terms.
How many INTJ's find it nearly unfathomable and unbelievably annoying that others will make a decision about a person or situation without ever getting all sides of the story? Particularly, if it involves the INTJ themselves. Isn't this the greatest of insults? Like and/or comment if you find this to be true.
Kent Wilke but if a person is like that, maybe it's best to disregard that person in future interactions
To be projected upon is the worst
.
I agree, I'm an INTJ and I also find that annoying, it also enrages me.
@Sabbidiwi That sir, is why I shave my head, so people can't pull that shit on me.
As an INTJ-T, this video provides so much peace. I have found that INTJs don't really care if others agree with them, they just desire for others to have the cognition to understand. It's relieving to know there are others out there.
Anna Box as a kid, I always thought I was different...to the point where I thought there was something wrong with me. I pulled it together and went my own way...although I turned out to be quite successful, it would have been nice to know there were others like me. This video is right on. I just wished I could have seen it as a teenager
Anna Box
I've never met a fellow INTJ-T before let alone a woman with this personality type. perhaps not surprising when supposedly only 2% of men and 0.8% of women are INTJ-T. very exclusive club. so high five ;)
Gary Downing
likewise, save that I was told something was wrong with me. treated poorly because of this by teachers. (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.
I'm an INTJ as well; however, what does the T (INTJ-T) mean?
Rodrico Blackman
the 'T' stands for 'Turbulent'
You can see that there are a lot of INTJs here because the comment section is filled with very detailed stories/explanations and a very melancholic feel
Very analytical
Enfps tooo
@@inyshel7018 Yep, they can't get enough of us. lol
This is the most peaceful I have felt since the pandemic.
I am an INTJ, but I am so indecisive, this is because I am a perfectionist and I always want to know that I made the best possible decision. Anyone else?
Yes, me too
Yeah
Me too, it drives my husband nuts because I have to have everythign so organised and planned out in advance but when it comes to making a decision I cant because i panic that it wasnt the right one.
It is particulraly difficult when I need to decide fast (hesitation -> slow response time -> "there was time before I hesitate, but is there still enough time" -> hesitation -> slow response time
Yep and I'm also a Virgo, so I think it makes more of a perfectionist?
I prefer strategist, not mastermind.
metronamebelle Yep, INTP's are more likely to learn anything about any topic, I as an INTJ would only like to know what's necessary.
I like mastermind. It makes my ego bigger.
i like architect
@@sethrankin5319 it's the most accurate one.
@@sethrankin5319 thats intp?
I am an INTJ and I feel like I'm an island.
Sherwin Cutamora we're out here
I am too, and so do I. I am very different to other people. Not caring what other people think about you and pursuing whatever it is you want to do, regardless of how it looks (even little things), is a big difference I think. Also, having the willpower to follow big things through, when most other people give up - it creates a lot of envy and some people don't like to be around achievers. I've decide to have a radar out for people who build-up others, not try to pull them down. Can you relate to this?
I'm an INTJ and I am an island.
To be honest, I feel more like a "black sheep" because most other students my age (17-19) are not as cognitive as INTJ's are. However it is comforting to know I'm not the only one
@Laura's Piano...I am an ENFP and I think the same.
I was genuinely wondering if I was a psychic when it just turns out I subconsciously recognise patterns. How anticlimactic.
😂
Exactly
No. We're psychic
Sorry but I'm still not going to rule out that I don't have psychic abilities.
I literally have a story I wrote once on Wattpad called my psychic ability, now I understand why I thought so
Im an intj and there's been times I've been so intuitive it felt like I was psychic at that moment.
Definitely!
Same!
No I think I’m actually psychic lol
Same
Ha! Same for me.
how many other intj's can't remember where they set their coffee, but can remember being small enough to take a bath in the kitchen sink? or almost the exact layout of every place they've lived even after going to nearly a dozen different schools growing up, or anything like that.
Jason Sanders
Amazing isn't. What do you do with this.
Fred Blankly I just had a great idea.....never mind, I forgot, lol.
Jason Sanders
Ha ha I just remembered this.
I was thinking about time travel.
I've come back to the future. Now.
mind =/> blown
Wow. I can never remember where I set my coffee in the morning. My mind is so elsewhere. My memories of childhood are so very clear, I can see not only places where l’ve lived 40 years ago, but situations with friends and relatives as if they happened yesterday.
We do play out relationships before they happen with potential partners. I do this all the time. Everyone should.
But the problem is romantic relationships rarely play out the way we initially imagine. Making strategies about how to approach and maintain a romantic relationship is not exactly our (or rather my) strong-suit.
Sorry what do you mean?
Hannie Banannie That is true. We have a rough plan of a relationship an ideal. But problem is the person to fit that ideal doesn’t exist
@@EnigmeDeLaVie We are human. Confirmation bias is very strong when trying to simulate relationships.
Well, yes and no. The problem is that even if you think the relationship is doomed, you're not flawless. Taking a risk isn't always bad. A calculated risk, of course, don't jump into a relationship with someone clearly toxic. But when it's uncertain, try it anyway. Even if it fails, it's an experience to learn from. I know, not exactly easy, but not every trait of an INTJ is necessarily one you should reinforce.
I'm an INTJ and I can't remember what I had for breakfast, but I can give you a detailed explanation of alexander hamilton's life after reading a biography.
Same here. One minute I am thinking something the next I forget what I was thinking about. But if you were to ask me about the formation of a black hole, or other stuff of astro physics I could tell you pretty much everything important to know without any issue
I am also an intj but i can give you the description of breakfast , dinner which i ate from last one month and also i could do tell biographies
this is the most relatable youtube comment i ever seen
@@theakiwar9118 after I forget what complex thought I had, I just start a new one.
For a long time, I thought I had short-term memory loss because I always forget about simple things. But after watching the video and reading the comments, now I know why.
What I like about being INTJ is that I can have a lot of fun in my head imagining different scenarios and arguing with myself, which on the other hand adds up to my introvercy and reduces the need in social interaction.
It's our way to meditate. Empty our minds? Bah! No, fill it with more things!
I love being alone cuz I'm my own best company. If I ever allow anyone into my life again, they better not disturb my peace.
So true about not remembering faces and names. I have to force myself to memorize when at a gathering and then it’s a 50/50.
joe vargas I force myself to make connections & it helps.
For example, if a last name is Hamilton, then I remember "A Founding Father"
Pam Markusson I am going to do this next time. Thank you.
I remember names much better if I see the name written.
Following for solutions, I have the same problem! I tend to connect names to other features, such as hair color/style, clothing style, voice, posture/body language, etc. But never the face. If two people have roughly the same height, hair colour, and face shape, I can see they are different people, but I will have trouble remembering who is who, or if they change their hair.
I always say their name when j see them as part of my greeting , repetition works for me.
“It’s my type. Of course I know the most about it.” Spoken like a true INTJ 😂
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.
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
The morning routine is huge for me. I feel like if I don't plan it right things just don't go right.
I don't eat when I'm stressed. I had no idea it had anything to do with my personality.
Same here. But when you plan something well, there's no need to rush.
I eat a lot when stressed.
lucky...i straight up forget to eat when im in the zone. food, water, sleep...all become secondary and no I am not manic. like the video put it, i see it as just driven. still not smart to do or allow
Tf same
Wtff is this rly true? Xd
INTJ Artist here. Good music, glass of wine and I'm lost in my subconscious.
Terri Campbell Campbelll lmao same. I don’t do visual art as much, but storytelling is so good. And it gives me even more to think about.
Wine? Yuk. Give me whisky.
INTJ photographer .. from how i setup my shot to how to run my studio, im always thinking about how to setup systems to make my work easier
Ooh exactly
INTJ writer here
Hello fellow INTJ people.
Hello
Yooo wus good
Greetings Brethren
Ok
hey
In reading all of these comments, I can genuinely say that this is one of the only times in my life that I feel UNDERSTOOD. Everyone one I'm around never ceases to leave my feeling disconnected from the blindfold most people hold over their own eyes.
my INTJ-problem is that I dont identify with my projects as it seems others do. "I am a fireman", "I am an accountant who loves aquariums", "I am a father of two" ... I always end up reaching my goals and spending a few years figuring out they are pointless, picking everything apart then falling into a depression and repeating the cycle after 2-5 years.
Go on! Anything else?
Practice Jiu-Jitsu. Trust me on this.
I love aquariums TOO!! But I decided after several years of debating the decision to give up the hobby in favor of my other hobby, web design and development, because the latter is more suited to earning an income and less likely to be hindered by my tendency to have problems sustaining Se for long periods of time, which is required to maintain a fish room optimally. I simply don't have that high-level Sensing to do all the maintenance. Yet, I still have all my fish stuff packed up in about 15 of those big Rubbermaid tubs in my garage. I just can't bear to get rid of that stuff. I was really into planted tanks, biotope tanks and cichlids (American and African).
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.
So accurate, the story of my life
I always think ahead... like I would be super psyched about buying and reading a particular book, but once I buy and start reading it, I immediately start to think about the next book that I am gonna buy.
Do you read the book? I am an INFJ and have the same issue!
Lol me today 😂
Me (an intj): can’t remember what I ate for dinner last night, doesn’t know where my family went, cant find my front door.
Also me: I can tell you every medical condition that starts with the letter P, including the longest word in the English language, pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis.
I think we do that because we don't think those little things are worthy of being in our long term memory.
& that ($49973 long word) would be good for...what?
That sounds like an INTP.
@@saraha.1336 I think that's the olnly way it makes sense, because otherwise my memory is really good. My brain just decides on a lot of socially related things that they are irrelevant
INTJ here. Main current interests and studies are Psychology, Philosophy, Spirituality, Personal Growth & Development, Health and Nutrition, History Current & Ancient, Alternative News/Media, Language
Currently in a Relationship. Is easy to manage if you've studied (Game related material) Female & Male Psychology, Social Dynamics & Personal Development
Highly adaptable, able to blend into any social group and 'Act' like them. Capable of being the Leader and Extrovert of any social group through the use of the Flow-State development in PD
Wow, you really developed your extroverted thinking very well! And I’m here just “following my heart” to get through life lol, I’m an infj btw it’s funny how we’re so different but similar at the same time
Most INTJ will walk this path.
act like them???? lol I've decided I don't want to act like them
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.
History? this might be your individual thing. INTJ's are not into history, this is for Feeling types.
Bruh sometimes being an intj sucks like when even a small problem arises on my master plan sometimes i just get anxiety and deep depression
And here I was thinking I was God because I could predict almost everything and practically crawl straight through peoples heads lol Thanks for this closure on our complex personality type.
INTJ's are the ultimate roasters, but best keep your observations to your self, peoples feelings are at stake.
S D LMAO
Ozzman 2112 I had the same feeling so often...
Geez, yeah one has to be sure to not talk too much :'/
Yea, it is literally so easy for me to see through people and catch when they are being fake, and what their next moves are (especially at work!). I have been on big corporate projects and EVERY, SINGLE, TIME I have called something out to my manager about the direction, within 2 months it happens. lol
Has anyone been able to solve the 'ego problem'?
I'm pushing too many people away...
Andrew Province
find people that are interested in similar things. then only talk about those things with them so you never feel like they can't keep up. it's like compartmentalising conversations.
ex- I only talk about history with one of my friends, rap with another, and then I have some friends with whom I just joke around and we mutually roast each other
Andrew Province same , I'm trying to find a solution to this
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
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.
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.
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).
that's why people misunderstand us as pessimistic when in fact we are realistic.
bangtan paved the way ;-)
There must be a INTJ dating site somewhere lol
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?
Being INTJ people really do not understand me at all.
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.
Great point!
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.
Agree. I was an ENTJ, super bossy and very upset to be wrong when I was a teen, now I'm more contained INTJ, very calm. I don't have the social issues mentioned in this video though (as an ex-extrovert).
Dimitri Swords used to be an ENFP then transformed to INTJ in my late teens i sometimes shift from INTJ to ENTJ though
i used to be infp and now im intj
I have watched dozens upon dozens of videos about INTJs, and this is by far the most informative and yet easiest to understand. Can't wait to hear the other types, awesome work!
+Jammie Dodger Thanks so much! After I earn my MBTI practitioners certification I plan to keep making videos for each type ^^
i am both an intj and an empath with great psychic abilities that shocked me when i came to realisation of what was actually hap[pening to me....my intuitive nature of wanting to know whats below the surface is a living soul inside me...what u say is sopt on
It is the only one that really speaks to me. For a while I thought that it was just that Mayers-Biggs methodoly just simply sucked but now with better explanations I can appreciate why we are classified in these specific categories.
Trying to know everything about a subject, typical intj behavior here ;) doing the same myself right now, this personality stuff fascinates me
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.
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.
Well put :)
I know, it is hard and lonely. But here you see that there are many of us - you are not alone! Hang in there!
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.
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
INTJ and love........ Impossible..... :(
+Jose A I have a video on INTJ relationships. INTJs are fully capable of love, it's just not always the desire for INTJs.
I have been married 17 years to a patience and understanding woman, but before we married I gave her a book on INTJs and explained how I am and told her that I was worth the effort and she bought it. We compromise in things that we want to do and so far so good..... love not impossible, improbable maybe... hahahaha
As an INTJ woman, a rare bird so to speak, I think that the right relationship is worth waiting for.
It can be done. I'm in the fifteenth year of marriage and 18 years overall, dating since we were teenagers. My wife is an incredibly patient and compromising woman. It's just her nature. I make every effort to be aware of my words and actions. That I'm not actively manipulating for my own interests. She's the only person on this planet I do that for, lol.
I think relationship/marriage will be easier for the INTJ male than the female. Women tend to be more patient, compromising and tolerant than men in relationships
I’m not rude, I’m just a brutally honest 😂😂😂 I always end up in charge of group projects somehow not because I want to because everyone else is stupid and and I absolutely cannot stand it 😂😂😂 INTJ squad
Never have I ever related so haaaaard to something in the entirety of my existence, honestly I almost even cried at some points of the video because I was like "I am not alone and I am not weird".
Thank you for the very informative video.
Holy shit dude me too! Well not cried but this really made me feel like I am not alone and like I am being understood without me saying a word
You're wrong, we are psychic. #INTJ
夢星Social Kid 🔮
😂
Indeed
夢星Social Kid we are the heirs of the earth
Well said sir.
I've tried "new" things like going to parties and go out with someone new... and I (dont really, but kinda) regret it. I definetly learned that I am not fot those thing... and I should really trust my intuition (and stay at home with my video games).
I dont crave for that things anymore, even though I'm young still. I accept with my weirdness and I love that .
Nothing wrong with that at all haha. I often find myself craving new experiences but then they stress me out when I engage in them. My goal is to train my repressed Se to a point where it doesn't stress me so much one day ^^ thanks for watching
I am the same right from when i was little my parents constantly were saying to me go out with the other kids stop staying in home doing nothing, fast forward couple of years and i was one of the best in my english class without even studying it i was watching discovery channel non stop when i was a little kid so that turned out to be a good decision.
Same. Every once in a while, i go out on a limb. When i am good and ready and prepared lol
I am INFJ and always felt the same way. I always hated being on parties and trying to fit in. That wasn't me. I'd rather stay at home watching Netflix or just meet a few friends at the café and have a nice talk.
Try traveling with your close people. Best and most enjoyable way to train your Se.
Thank you for this. This describes me to a T. I especially like the line: I am not addicted to alcohol or drugs, I'm addicted to escaping from reality. I've been trying to escape from reality for decades. When I was a little kid I would watch TV and then books - reading books over and over and over again.
Thank you for this!
I like to be refered to as Architect or philosopher, and on a darker side... Puppet master.
Mastermind the one and only! :D (INTJ/INFJ mix here xD)
David Bar I prefer Architect as well my friend
😂
my brother calls me manipulator
never heard puppet master before but i can dig it
I find it kinda relaxing that other INTJ's can struggle with the whole drug and alcohol abuse thing. I used to often do drugs cause it felt like my brain was always constantly thinking and analyzing and often I just wanted to escape. While i'm an exceptional student, leader, thinker, and worker, I've always struggled with abusing stuff so Its just nice knowing that other people like me can struggle like this
No shame in that c.jowle
Yo instead of drugs and alcohol try movies and games and musics which have a world for themselves
This helps me get my mind of constantly thinking about important stuff
Its good until I start thinking about what is actually beyond that movie or game or music
thats when I quit it
I am a female INTJ and enjoyed the video a lot :D
I am also a female INTJ and young one at that- I'm 17. And it is really hard for me to interact with my peers because I truly don't understand the way they think and their closed view of the world. But this video was very validating about why I have certain traits that no else I know has- and slightly creepy about how much I could relate to the things mentioned in the video. It was also very fascinating as learning about personality types has become on of my interests and something I've been researching lately.
@Steve Knight neither but I can see where you're comming from. Thank you for your comment.
Another female INTJ here. Nice to know there are others! :)
@@christalphelps6186 Don't worry. Make a lot of money and do whatever you like. If you do not stick to your personality other similar people will never be able to recognize you. There are no a lot of them, but you'll definitely meet some of them.
I am a female INTJ
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/.
You hit it spot on with the romantic relationships. I'm very afraid to get involved with anyone who wouldn't fit into a lifelong plan or that would confuse me emotionally if I thought I had a doubt if I could fully commit to wanting them down the line.
Scarily accurate...especially the romance part lol. Spot on. I'm a high school senior and I cant tell you how many potential relationships I've avoided. The part that creeped me out was when you spoke about the "What of" scenario because it happens every single time. Extremely accurate video...at least for me😁
The avoiding relationships I’m still doing it now at age 40 only 4 times ha e I pushed past the fear and gine for it . 2 of the times it turned out great ( for a good few years ) back in my own now ( avoiding relationships until something clicks again ) it’s what we do
I have 54 years of experience being an INTJ, I enjoy every minute of my personality but I've had to modify some of the behaviors that makes me an INTJ and life has since simplified therefore I am enjoying retirement life more. But well made video and a great explanation of INTJs.
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. :)
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.
Can you give some advice for me i am 18 years old intj and have somany emotional problems that i cant understand
I spent 15 years in the military including a combat tour in Afghanistan as an INTJ. It was very difficult.
A LOT of things don't make sense, bro.
Only did 1 term and it was very difficult dealing with the military lifestyle and stupid people but I love them 😂
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.
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. My diet is pretty good. I'd say I'm better at caring for my emotional/mental health than my physical needs. But I try because like you said, my Te KNOWS that it's going to better help me fulfill my goals if I am healthy.
The Romance part at the end blew my away. I have always thought everyone plays out lifelong scenarios about how a could-be relationship plays out. now I know all INTJ's do this to some degree
"Rules hold you back, leave them for someone who needs them" Any fellow INTJ's who recognise this quote?
Reading the comments on this video and I have finally found my people.
what you said about the relationship part at the end really got me. As a 19 year old I can tell you that this has been torture to me over my teenage years and has had unhealthy effects on my mental heath as a result :/ Always so damn lonely but I know why i've done this to myself
Interesting, I love being an INTJ.
Therealmlw Me too.
I agree. It has its perks when working on projects...
I do enjoy it mainly because people are always whining and needing other people and I enjoy the fact while I enjoy interactions with a decent human being I don't feel the need to incessantly talk to people about nothing and waste my time.
Me too. :-)
I love being an INTJ too, even with the relationship difficulties
You know that you're an INTJ when you cringe at him saying "expecially" at 1:38.
+Hannah Willow W I've had a few comments about that haha. It's a weird verbal habit I acquired. Trying my best to be aware of it now lol
Hannah Willow W seriously. Lol
Pretending to be an INTJ that is
PRESENT.......
this has nothing to do with being an intj. sounds like your just another mistyped INXJ smh
I have an INTJ personality.
First, I resented being pigeon-holed with a label.
Second, I had to laugh at myself because it fits too well.
Third, I got a quantitative result on why I've been such an oddball!
My entire life i’ve always had this abstract theory in the back of my head that everything in our perceivable reality was connected, over the course of years ive tried to put it together in my subconscious and somehow find a way to put it into words so that i may share it with others. 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.
The npc theory is exactly how I've always felt as if everyone else had been programmed. I never comment on videos but this comment just describes that feeling. Damn.
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.
I'm an INTJ female. I did enjoy this video. I've learned to balance life, marriage and friendships over time. You'll find a few great friends and great partner. It's a learning curve. We are rare and awesome. Since I was a toddler (I could read and say my alphabet since I was two), I wanted to learn about different things. I also have an introvert husband and we've been together and married for the last 16 years.
"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..
Me: *breathes*
Everyone: “I’m an INTJ”
Lmaooo fr. Many ppl fake their personality
As an actual INTJ, it’s easy to see when someone isn’t really an INTJ
@@klm2fm4, I notice a lot of people want to be "unique" and "rare" and hence self-identify as INTJs when they're not; honestly, online tests aren't accurate. Only inventories administered and interpreted by specially trained and licensed psychometrists or psychologists are really valid.
@@Skeptigal1 True
And I guess technically typing yourself with Cognitive Functions while staying true to yourself helps
I did a crap ton of tests that said I was an INTJ, but I didn't resonate with it so I compared functions and found out I was an INFJ
After that I found out I was an INFJ 5w6, so that's probably why I was said to be an INTJ a lot
I took the test and came up INTJ. Had to chuckle about each of the points like someone was peaking into my brain. My Dad told me when I was little ,that I never stopped asking questions. I still don't understand why people don't want to know why about everything. It's like breathing for me. Comes naturally.
By far this is the most accurate explanation of the INTJ i've ever seen.
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.
The "looks behind the scene" aspect is soooo true. My circle gets tired of hearing me say "But what does that mean?"
That's what I say to my Snapchat friends! What is the meaning behind this meaningless picture of you?
The answer to the pattern at 4:11 is b)
Sorry, kind of beside the point.
lol I was thinking the same thing.
The yellow gave it away for me
MrInconspicuous yes after blue red get it way lol
Lmao I did the same thing.
MrInconspicuous yeah I used the red one too lol
I research neural networks and AI. It never stops to amaze me that Ni works very similarly to how a neural network learns subjective concepts and patterns. Neural networks follow a non-linear process and they reach an answer somewhat out of the blue - just like how Ni leads tap into their unconscious. Ni is the most in touch function to our biological information processing structure.
Being intj is like being born blessed knowing you can do whatever you put your mind to allows you to have confidence in anything you do
as an INTJ, i will give it to you straight that this is the best and most helpful video i’ve seen on our personality type. thank you.
I have lots of déjà vu.
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.

❤true
It feels so good knowing someone actually sees that everything is related like me
I never fail, I only have lessons I already know and some I still need to learn
Thank you for this video. I felt everything you were describing. Being an INTJ is not easy, and there arent many around us who are similar or even understand what it's like, especially in relationships
"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.
Hands down the best interpretation of INTJ functions - coming from an INTJ. Thanks for this video.
I, as an INTJ myself, really enjoyed listening to this. The reasoning behind why I am this way makes a lot of sense to me, and I feel enlightened by this insight. Thank you for taking the time to thoroughly investigate us.
I’m an INFP but I’m still watching this because I genuinely love INTJs.
This was really great! I appreciate how you emphasized that these are only guidelines and there will be a lot of variance within these lines.
Wow what an incredible video, extremely well thought out and nailed aspects that I often wondered about, such as my tendency toward some self-destructive behaviors at times. Well done.
It gave me chills on how well you explained this. I've been trying to put the way my mind works into words, but I couldn't find the right ones. Thank you.
15 minutes of my life well spent. Thank you.
That was an amazing analysis. You nailed it for me and I feel a little normal now.
This video is so accurate to my personality to the point where I was waiting for my name to be mentioned.
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 CZcamsrs 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!!
INTJ here and this is why I do Filmmaking, ya know it's fun to create stories of others and how you can view the story in so many perspectives, that you will naturally know what people will wanna see the most
When people say they get bored with Christopher Nolan's Memento
Me: COME ON PLS THAT'S MASTERPIECE
