While studying engineering at a university a long time ago, I was astonished to find that I failed an exam. Why? I knew I did well. When investigated, I was told that I cheated, because I supplied the final figures without the sheet showing how I got to the result. I told them, the maths were so simple, I did them in my head! Then, I had an idea: I told them "give me a similar exercise, a sheet of paper and a pen, I will prove it to you now". I did. I excelled.
Even though we intjs are capable to control our emotions and exclude them from our process of thought and decision making we must not forget that above all else we are human beings with physiological, intellectual and social needs, therefore we are bound to the human condition and neglecting ourselves from our humanly needs will end up in us doing ourselves more harm that good. WE intjs tend to be arrogant about our "Superior" understanding of reality and underestimate other peoples advice and points of view, specially when it does not align with ours. Remember that intjs tend to narrow down our perspective of reality so much that it may only suit our own fabricated reality which in the end may blindfold us blocking our path to truly understand the mechanics on which reality truly unwraps. Remember: "The eyes are useless when the mind is blind." Not acknowledging a certain field of knowledge wont make it go away and our refusal to learn more about it will only lead us to ignorance. So instead of discarding the use of emotions completely challenge yourself to try to understand it and how this new tool can help you to better understand the reality that surrounds us.
My wife and I are fighting over her reading my messages between my guy friends complaining about her. I'm listening to your video and hear 'Undwr stress you might find yourself breeding to clean the house' Literally as I've been cleaning the house for an hour... Spooksie!
INTJ's see things as necessary or unnecessary. Stressing out or panicking is unnecessary because it gets in the way of our thinking. Thats not to say the wont but we know how to deal with it better and faster.
How can i improve myself so that when i'm overwhelmd i don't start watching movie or procatinate cause it's a real strugle and i need to do my chores and get the job done but i fall in a loop of over thinking and under eating and many other things that are realy not healthy for me it's driving me nuts that i'm this way and not efficent enough.
My boyfriend is an INTJ and I’m an INFJ. I can definitely see these traits in him. I think this is all fascinating to hear because most of these points are spot on with him
I don't agree that we, as INTJ have to be good at maths or economics; I think that we can be good at anything we want. We have to WANT to be good at it to master it.
I'm intj-t who didnt like math but i got a bachelor mathematic of science for some reason. I found that i'm good at understand deep concept i can conect it together even my processor didnt see the connection but i still don't like it.
does anyone have a link or the name of a website where I can take a more accurate test to find out my personality type? since I heard the one I took isn't very accurate
You explained the different cognitive functions better than anyone I've seen, and I've seen a LOT, lol! You didn't rattle off a bunch of letters, talk a million miles an hour, and really make it even more confusing, probably because most of them *are* INFP's, and have trouble expressing themselves verbally (me). You just make it clear, and straightforward and orderly. And yes, what everybody else said. The visuals helped tremendously! I really like that, especially since I'm fairly new in this. I totally could be your mother, *totally* lol! Everything! Crafts, changing styles every other month, even job wise. Maybe she's my long lost twin, separated at birth! 🤔 Thanks so much! Loved this! New sub. 👍🏻😁
Maybe the website is wrong but I see on peoples Myers Briggs videos saying that (s) stands for sensing which according to the website is wrong as there it instead says observation, also as an infp I think he might be getting us a lil mixed with infjs aka advocates, as he said we speak out and advocate for causes or people that get walked over but that’s more of an infj thing aka the advocates while instead we as infps are more centered around creativity and individuality keeping ourselves, our true selves to ourselves. Myers Briggs describes us as peace keepers aka mediators but advocators I we aren’t necessarily as that’s the infj also our last letter isn’t perceiving rather instead it’s called prospecting, aka searching I’ve come to find types with this letter more open to new unexplored stuff and ideas
Reading the comments... Am I the only one who doesn't clean while stressed? I mean I might do that, but usually I avoid cleaning at all cost, until it becomes necessary. I thought stress cleaning was an ISFJ thing honestly. And I have an IXFJ friend who does stuff like cleaning the bathroom to avoid doing other stuff. I actually just avoid doing anything and just feel anxious lmao
If I'm stressed or anxious I usually just sit on front of my computer doing absolutely nothing until I calm down, cleaning is usually something I do when it becomes a necessity like you
intj, but my family makes me want to back away. i grew up in a family that dismissed most of my thoughts and feelings so i dont feel particularly close, but i want them to understand me, and possibly like me as ia am, and not feel like i am the black sheep for having different aspirations than living in a set box. sadly i know they wont really. and im not a math person(im really bad at that) but i do actually go towards the design and art domains. i feel alien to this country tbh, but if i achieve my professional goals i think i'll be more relaxed. independence and financial stability are crucial to me, as materialistic other people perceive me for this.
