#19: INTJ - The Genius 

INTJs often don't like praise because other people's standards are rarely, if ever, as high as their own. So to hear "good job" from someone, even someone in a position of authority, is relatively meaningless to an INTJ. "Yep, I know," is our internal (and sometimes external) response. It's actually MUCH more endearing to be critical of our work, because if we actually haven't thought of something or have made a mistake, we want to know that so that we do not make that mistake again. You gain much more respect from an INTJ by pointing out something they've missed, because it happens to us so rarely.

I'm here for an EGO boost.

An immature intj will face many challenges. A mature intj is unstoppable.

Interesting how the INTJ video has wayyy more views than the other types. Here we all are lol

We're not rigid. You just have to use logic or show a better way of doing things in order to convince us to change direction. We are quite open minded. 🙄

"I have forgotten more than you will ever know" - INTJ

As a female of this personality type, this is so spot on... and nice to know other people can see past the fact that we may come off arrogant but it’s really just that we know what the hell we are doing and talking about.

I’m an INTJ who was raised in a feeler family, Guys be careful of using your feeling function too much it can lead to you doubting your Ni and cause depression. Be aware of Fi but don’t trade Te to satisfy other people who expect you to speak their language but won’t return the favour. My point being that a lot of feeler will ask why you can’t be more considerate but they won’t do the same for you and be more rational.

We INTJs love to listen to anything and everything about INTJs. A bit narcissistic, perhaps, but oh well. lol Great take on the type, I have to say. Thank for this.

What really SUCKS is that in America the whole ‘do you get along in a team?’ question is DEATH to an INTJ (especially female like myself). It’s really unfair to us as INTJs that we basically have to force ourselves to be “likeable” in order to make it in the work world. Especially if you’re like me and want to be in the Human Services fields. Now I have learned over time to just fake it and pretend I’m interested when I’m not necessarily into the person. It takes a lot of mental real estate to make sure everyone else around me is emotionally okay and I ‘get along’ with everyone. This is likely why INTJs end up needing our own stuff and careers so we don’t have to force ourselves to be in a group that we don’t want to be in. We like groups but only if we choose to BE in the group. Being forced to be in a group for the sake of it is a problem.

As an INTJ, I have struggled to understand why people make things in the work place personal by bringing their feelings into it. Now I remind myself, that everyone is different and can bring value, even when their feelings get on my nerves and they take forever to grasp certain things. 😂🤣

All us INTJs need to know each other. It's a real need for our world. Hook us up.

I forget poeple s names 2 min after they interduce themselves

This video really hit home for me. I am a female high school science teacher. It confuses the young men when they try to flatter me or change the subject to get out of some assignment, and it never works. The greatest compliment I hear about me is, "She ain't playing about her work! Don't even try it!" 😄 I love my students but had a hard time years ago trying to connect until I realized most people thrive on their feelings. I have since learned to make a personal connection so that students will perform. If they like you, they do well. I think this is sad, but it's true. Most don't have internal motivation and want to know what they will get out of it. I thought learning just to know was a reward in itself. Stupid me.

I have no problem with my feelings, there is just a time and place for that.

The INTJ is not a genuis, we just think harder on things

INTJ - the most misunderstood personality type. I am, at least... it’s the most frustrating thing ever.

We're not rigid, we are open to your other way of doing things but unless they're better than our way of doing things (Which, most of the time they aren't) then why would we follow a less effective/efficient way?

"They're rigid..." and "...frustratingly...they tend to be right...". Yes, see how that works?

I don't like to receive praise. It makes me very uncomfortable. I do like a simple "thank you" or to have my qualities and/or skills acknowledged in a concise manner. I hate it when I'm doubted on my ideas. People often assume that I haven't looked at all the options when I have. As you said, typically the only time I haven't considered a better solution is because I'm lacking information, which frustrates me. Then, I'm left with the thought, "well, why the hell didn't you tell me that?!" I do quickly lose trust and respect quite easily when I know someone is withholding information from me, or even worse, lying to me. This is unfortunate when I receive this treatment from someone at a higher position. It makes it harder for me to perform well and interact with them.

I forget a lot too sometimes I forget to eat meals

I think the reason so many InTJs like to learn about themselves is because they are so misunderstood and even maligned. Though we don't need as much attention, it can still be a little lonely. You have to be your own validation because the world will withhold it.

I'm an INTJ and I can see myself buying a car for my assistant if that same scenario happened. We really do have hearts of gold though. Our love and care run deep. But we have to be the originator of showing our love. If you try to manipulate it out of us it WILL BACKFIRE ON YOU.

I am not a genius but I am a genius. Only a genius will understand that

Different from INTPs, when you put two INTJs together they'll try very very hard to kill each other.

We are not rigid! This is incorrect, we are among the most open minded of all types when it comes to finding solutions. If we are presented with new information that makes our plan infeasible we will immediately change our plan to accommodate the new information and or facts! You need to correct your video. Best regards. Sincerely A concerned and open minded INTJ.

I worked in the HR department for a big company. when I left, i got replaced by 2 people to keep up with the workload. Then I worked for a startup company and guess what?! When I left, I got replaced by at least 3 people!!! NEVER underestimate an INTJ - We are willing to give literally 300% in work but if we don't get the necessary reward, we will lose our respect to what we believe and leave 👐

I have never heard myself described so well. Both blessings and curses. I feel like most people I know think I'm quirky or even just weird. Of course, I work with primarily extroverted personality types which exhaust me most days. This is me in 17 minutes. Thank you for this.

Yes we are EXTREMELY PASSIONATE about the issues we are passionate about.

Don't praise me, Raise me! THAT will make me enjoy the praises, otherwise it's just annoying. -an INTJ

I'm an INTJ. I would say I'm open minded most of the time. However, We tend to be firm on what we believe that we're deemed as arrogant. Other people misjudge being frank/straightforward as being rude. Being too logical means we tend to be void of emotion. And I think most people perceive differently our actions in a negative way. And I get that. We based our decisions on facts rather than emotion and some mistook it as lack of empathy. Sure it's hard to be an INTJ.

Well, OK, I'll come down the mountain. Just don't think my 'friendly' approach means we are now truly friends. 👿

Exactly, well said. We are NOT condescending on purpose. It’s how we are.

Not bad. Here's some unsolicited advice from a former know-it-all....... - Be careful of the ideas you cultivate and nurture. - Expecting others to live up to your capabilities/standards is unreasonable. - Explore the 'I'dentity. Are you the mind? Body? .............. - Be brave. Have courage. Allow those profound emotions to be experienced. - Enjoy the moment. The mind can be regulated peaceably. It is a tool with a function. - 'You' have always been perfect. Sort it out. Remember. Doing so is easier than it seems. - Love y'all. Namaste.

Internal feelings about the outside, greater world drive INTJ processing and creativity. I just want other people to make sense, and get out of my way to help the company, its employees, and the world function more effectively, efficiently, and happily. We don't need much praise, just acknowledge our ideas and work.

Thank you for your podcast! This was pretty spot on in a lot of areas. Just need to correct something said here. In several of the descriptions, it seems like the speaker is describing an immature or young INTJ. For example, it's pretty obvious that to get the best out of our team we are going to need to learn how to explain the plan well to them and take their feelings into account out of respect for them as human beings. I am actually extremely good at explaining, teaching and training and am often called upon to do so at work (and back in college as well). I have conducted several trainings over new software to various teams and I have always thought this was one of the skills that INTJs do best, being able to take the complex and help others understand it. Just yesterday I was told that I am the "nicest and easiest person to work with". She is a colleague a level above me (she's a manager and I'm not) and had been asking for my advice in composing a business process document. The other members on our team have been more impatient with her but I saw no point in that. I just wanted to help her so we could get the job done and get it done well. The other 2 members of the team are my managers (her peers) and are an ENTP and an ISFJ and they have had a TON of frustration working with her. But I have actually been the one who succeeded in smoothing some things over and try to help everyone not get too worked up but instead stay focused on getting the best product possible and not underestimating her or questioning her motives. And it paid off because she came out finally with a good product that she just needed a little explanation and encouragement to achieve. The INTJ DOES recognize that it is important to try to understand people's feelings. Not only do we CARE about the feelings of others, but we recognize that is just part of achieving the goal which is usually to make the world a better place in one way or another. And the world includes people who have feelings so it's stupid of an INTJ to ignore that variable. Now, granted, it's not our first go-to thought when we are in the middle of our "zone". But when we are acting deliberately, we DO take people's feelings into account, at least I do as a 51-year old female INTJ. I studied psychology in college and have continued to do so my entire life because I was driven and desired to understand people and improve my relationships. Granted, I did not have a clue about people's feelings when I was younger simply because it just wasn't on my radar nor would I have ever expected people to walk on eggshells around me. That never would have crossed my mind. But a mature INTJ will definitely have learned the value of feelings, their own and those of others. If we find out we've hurt someone, it DOES make us feel bad because we are always trying to do good in the world and the last thing we want is to hurt somebody. We just get oblivious to people's feelings sometimes simply because our focus is on solving some problem and we get that tunnel vision there.

It's sad how many employers equate being introverted as being unassertive, incompetent or simply a wild beast who doesn't understand social dynamics. Funny how they talk about diversity so much and yet in terms of personality they're all the same (E's and F's in my profession) and self select. They don't realise that other types could add a lot of value to the process and decision making. A little bit of strategic thinking and logic could hell them out. Needless to say I am experienced in group work and I know how to successfully collaborate

It can be difficult for an intj in the workplace, frustrating. We have the answer to fix an issue, while the others on the team are still just at the start. So we have to sit through all of their conversations instead of getting the thing fixed. I already have the correct answer, you all can sit here and discuss it, I'll be over here fixing it for you.

Einstein said, "if you can't explain a complicated issue, to a small child in a way that they can understand it, You don't understand the issue." (Not word for word but very close)

INTJ here. I dislike being in teams because I don't care about formalities and being friends, I want the job done as well as possible so I can go home. I expect you to play your role and get your job done without any management. If I feel you are dragging behind, my first inclination is to leave you. I trust in my own ability to move ahead and figure things out as I go along. I'm open-minded to change as long as the person giving me that opinion is intelligent and has a track record of being consistent and dependable. I loathe incompetent people giving advice and opinions.I also dislike middle management and politics. Prove to me that you deserve my most valuable resource, my time, and I will pay attention to you. If you have a history of fucking up, I won't say anything mean or seek revenge, but you're now a ghost to me. I don't care where you went to school, your years of experience, or even your intelligence. I have this thing where people need to prove their merit through their actions to get my full attention and involvement. If they fail in this regard, I simply ignore them or I leave.

The n is not capitalized.

If an INTJ is fortunate enough to have somebody who understands them and happens to be a great communicator with great people skills, that person becomes extremely valuable to the INTJ. With that person, the INTJ now has a conduit with which to effectively communicate their plans and instructions to the world.

we'll ɡet our hands dirty, we do work just fine, but we can be dismissive and seeminɡly disinterested in people, also people sometimes think we are manipulitive. We are stronɡly independent and need to maintain are ideas as are own which is why we are seen as controllinɡ. We also have a tendency to do work ourselves. We can be ɡood leaders but we aren't the natural leaders ENTJs are.

I think the quote is along the lines of, "If you can't explain something simply, you don't understand it well enough."

knowing others is strength knowing yourself is true power Lao Tzu

INTJ here, for me it's not so much about success. It's about that long shot, from an idea to a physical result, such a long shot with so many variables and possibilities, yet somehow I made it happen. What a beautiful journey. I am obsessed with time. From movies, to physics, and how I make decisions is based on this concept of time. My favorite character would be Dr. Manhattan from "Watchmen". What an absolutely breath taking ability, to see not only into the future but also all of the possibilities that lead up to it.

That “take care of your machines for maximum utilization” thing was very good. 👍

Are there any INTJ’s out there who wished they were ENTJ? Think about it, if you were E you could conquer the world and live forever like Napoleon, Caesar or Otto von Bismarck instead of being a hermit :) Just kidding, I’m an INTJ myself, but sometimes I wish talking with people isn’t so damn energy draining for me, especially in the morning.

INTJ's dont need praise, we want & sometimes need recognition.

I'm no genius but I have an amazing intuition and discernment.

My response to someone giving me praise is to question their sincerity and identify their true ulterior motive.

The best way I can describe an INTJ is imagine a serial killer pretending to care and putting on a mask. Not that we don't care, just EXTREMELY selective about who and why we should care. We are more like a hive mind computer/AI, thinking about things from every angle/objectively/coldly.

the last remark about other people saying "thank you" is all i needed. it makes me almost barf hearing "genius" over and over. almost as if to the point of mockery

INTJ here. One of the most accurately described videos I’ve seen in describing me. While there are some miss conceptions I believe my thoughts have been properly generalized in this video. Good job 👏

I hate when people refer to our type as things like "The genius". Like, you're not a genius for having a personality. That's only something someone could maybe say about you if you achieve something significant.

This is probably one of the best descriptions I've heard. Thank you.

Lol I got fired from a job for telling my boss I could do 10x better a job than he would ever be able to do...then going into detail explaining how the company should be doing things I was fed up at that point Later on I found out they had actually implemented the majority of my ideas into company practice...well well

I am an INTJ but it really should be called an INTD with the D = Discerning It's far more accurate and less negative

Here’s something I thought of that I hate as an intj. When you have years of knowledge on a subject and you say something out loud and some one shoots from the hip and tries to solve your problem with a fast twitch response. Then you say no that’s not gonna work. Then they shoot from the hip again. You shoot them down again and then you get frustrated and they don’t understand why you are frustrated. They think the problem you have is solvable by shooting from the hip. Like I’ve been working on this for years in my head and you think you’re just gonna solve it like that? What kind of problems do you think I’m working on here? Some quick response Solvable problems? What a low blow that is to your intelligence. Absolutely infuriating XD

Namaste! Being an INTJ as a wonen spells lots of trouble. Most men hate us and end up trying to control us with awful results. It also does not help to be attractive and well-spoken!!!!!

Instead of socializing I am constantly learning and improving my skillsets, most of the things I hear from others I have already learnt, long ago.

I am the smartest person in the room, and I never make mistakes. Prove me wrong and you will earn my respect for a lifetime. That's the kind of person I am, the INTJ.

"I have forgotten more than you will ever know" that's a really good quote. We INTJs are constantly learning things, more so than probably any other type just because of the fact that we're introverted combined with our cynical minds where we don't like people. We put great value on how competent we are and how much we know, but because of this and not liking most people, we get the idea that we are better than most people. The reason being is that even though we're egotistical, we make objective observations and decisions rather than being a sheep like the mass of people are who are easily manipulated and value their social life and living in the moment more than their inner identify. They're not driven to learn to improve like we are.

Any other INTJs here also have Asperger's?

I've tested as an INTJ-A twice out of 2 times taking the test in the past 3 years. I identify with every single characteristic of this type. I'd like to know, do any other INTJ's feel like they are the best actor/actress in the world, just out of survival, in situations like work, social gatherings and phone calls? Also, how do you cope with being divided in 2 essentially between being an analyst and being creative? Early in my work life I began to realize that in jobs, I always feel like one side of me is severely neglected. I've settled on appealing to the strategist side in my career but feel like my creative side is suffocated, to the point that it's nearly soul-crushing.

INTJ, INTP, INFP, INFJ, ENTJ, ENTP, ENFJ, ENFP are all capable of being geniuses with the right levels of intelligence and are most likely to be creative geniuses than other personality types.

One problem I have as an INTJ is that a lot people think of me as arrogant, when I’m really just painfully blunt. For example, when someone questions a claim I make, I always ask "Well, how can I be wrong?". This is not a rhetorical question to assert my intellectual dominance. I didn’t say that because I think that others can’t challenge my intellect, but rather the opposite. I said that because I seriously just want them to tell me how I can be wrong. I want them to tell me where I’ve made mistakes so I can fix them asap

As an INTJ I want to say this video would be more pleasant with less laughter

A little correction to a descriptive comment about INTJ folks. It's not that we are purely 'creative' in our thought processing in a particular area or on a particular item, as we rarely invent anything brand new. What we excel at, is the great ability to take what already exists, be it an object or theory, and to dissect and analyse what ever it is, and make it better. That is, much more efficient and practical for OTHERS with-in society, to use. This is, if you like, our (INTJ's) function, within that same society.

I don't give a FIG about others opinions. When someone says "good job", I think 'no kidding - don't bother me'. With an idea, I am a 'Bull Dog' at the gate, I won't let go.

Its called "PREMEDITATED THINKING"!!!!

Person #1.."How do you know that?" INTJ, "How come you don't?"

I am a hard INTJ, but I apply my scalpels to emotions and have been able to be an excellent counselor and wear the mask of a sweet mother nurturing my teammates and staying out of the spotlight and propping up a figurehead. It works.

The title "The Genius" and I just push LIKE irrationally... 🤣

Great title for your video. :-) I never use that line about forgetting more than you will ever know, because as my wife tells me, "You never forget anything!" I wish it were true, though. She bought a coffee mug that says, "I don't need Google, I have my husband." I can't tell you how many times she has told me, "Where do you have room for all that stuff in your head?" We were watching a movie the evening before last and I pointed out an error in the movie and why it was wrong, and it generated one of those comments. I find that one of the biggest hurdles I have with getting past the "believability barrier" that must be passed through in order to enjoy fiction, is the unfortunate lack of research that many authors are guilty of. I came to MBTI late in life, unfortunately. What it has given me is an explanation of why my life was the way it turned out to be. Looking back I now know why I was on the outside, and why didn't care that I was. (When I was a teenager there was a song on the billboard top 10, called "I'm in with the In Crowd," all about some socially hip moron who drew his value from the "cool" people who let him tag along like a sheep. I never understood that song, or why anyone would care about such a silly goal.) We can't choose how we were born, but I am glad I turned out to be an INTJ. I fully understand the state of being alone, and not being lonely. Only an introvert can properly appreciate that to the fullest. I also have been gifted with love, for I have an amazing ESTP wife of nearly 43 years and through her I have found the meaning of loneliness, whenever life has separated us (primarily through my job in the Navy). In the Navy, I took a Leadership and Management course. That was a terrible mistake for the Navy in my opinion, because when I then checked onboard my next command, I found that all the things that the course taught were being devoutly ignored. But at the close of the course, the class was divided up into 4 groups and each group had to work together to create some form of presentation. INTJs do not like group activities generally, but I have found a work around that I applied to this event. I told the others in the group that I would do the entire thing, ALONE, if it was okay with them. They didn't want to do it anyway, and so it was all good. I took the 12 pillars of leadership that they put out during the course and I set them all to music (the theme from M*A*S*H, Suicide is painless) and I called it "Leadership is Painless." I brought my guitar in and performed the song for the class. For me it was the perfect solution. I didn't have to work with others. I could guarantee a good product for the presentation. I didn't have to socialize. I got up, did the song, and it worked just as I expected. The teacher wanted a copy of my lyrics, our group got top prize. My group was happy but the other 3 groups were whining because I did all the work. But that is what INTJs usually will do if you give them a chance. We love ideas and systems, but people, unfortunately tend to get in the way. So, we are viewed as weird, or anti-social, cold and unfeeling. It is well that they don't know what INTJs think in return I suppose. :-) Your point about how an INTJ will react to a suggestion you might make was incomplete. I will even listen to a child, if he has a good suggestion. The reality is that usually your suggestion was already visualized and evaluated as being lacking for some reason or another. Therefore, rather than wasting time on explaining the idea's deficiencies, we will blow by it and keep moving. (People skills are not our forte.) We want information and we want truth. If you want to slam the door between you and an INTJ, just lie to him. You're done. When I was teaching I exhaustively went over my lecture before giving it, trying to come up with any and every question I could think of that a student might pose. And then I ran a good answer down for each of them. Then I was ready for more than most classes could come up with on their own. :-) INTJs do not view themselves as superior, just self-contained. We evaluate our performance based upon our own standards, not other people's standards. People all to often look for that extroverted feeling caring from INTJs and are disappointed. But our allegiance to truth, and devotion to competence, still provides them what they want at the job. If an INTJ says he will do something, it will be done, it will be done well, and it will be done on time. We don't fit the extroverted norm, and we seldom act or react in the way "normal" people would. But how we act is logical and rational usually. I think that says more about the "normal" than it does about us. :-) One final point, the redeeming grace about how INTJs are viewed by others, is that INTJs don't care, and so to us it really doesn't matter. :-) Thanks for sharing this video!

Although we are often considered ‘know-it-alls’ we will easily update/change our direction if better info is supplied. We are the chief of SOLUTIONS. You want to get from point A to B, ask an INTJ. INTJs need to learn to ask questions when dealing with others even if we have it all figured out, questions like.... Why do you think that will work best?... or How do you see that playing out?... etc.

This was very insightful and useful. Most INTJ analyses paint us as supervillains for some reason. I especially appreciated the comparison of checking in with people emotionally to keeping a machine well-oiled. I've always believed that we're better off being guided by our heads rather than our hearts. The purpose of feelings never made much sense to me -- in fact, they often seemed like a distraction from getting anything worthwhile done -- but I have to accept that people navigate through life more by their emotions than their reasoning. I want to better understand myself and how I relate to others.

We think and see the problem in all angles, find solutions to future problems, basically have plans abcd and so on, and then create the optimized system that lasts.

To the part of the discussion about feelings, I’ve actually been able to identify emotional patterns and discover roots in people to leverage situations and move them to desired outcomes. I can’t speak for other INTJ’s, but I think a large part of avoiding/minimizing emotions is that they’re difficult to quantify. But this is where developing empathy can help bridge communication barriers between INTJ’s and other types. Of course- this only works when people are actually willing to take an honest look at themselves. But it helps me identify who is emotionally stable enough to interact with and who to avoid.

Podcast Guy: [shares INTJ perception/situation] Me (Female INTJ): Yeah, that makes sense. Podcast Female: Who’d want to work with THAT??? Me: Thanks… 😔😂😂😂🤦‍♀️ I think though part of being an INTJ is figuring out things that work, so knowing people need things phrased more gently or finessed, is part of it too. I think we’re not all ENTIRELY socially awkward and rude. If you’re an INTJ that doesn’t want to be rude and wants to win people over, especially to your idea, you figure out the right social things to do (most of the time… 😂). Most people at work would not believe I was an INTJ given things listed here (people think I’m friendly, outgoing, etc.) but it’s a mask I’ve learned to put up to play the game. And I am TIRED at the end of the day… 😂🤣😭

My boss has no idea. He's clueless and has no idea how many times I've caught him in a lie. He doesn't give the appearance of someone who is aware of half of the things I study, do, see and take time to learn or keep track of. He's very uneducated about so many things.

“INTJ: the genius” It's kind of saying that all grapes are purple.

Am an intj, and i can say that intjs have feelings but are "expressed" when they are alone, when their thinking and processing about whats going on in their life, (or when they are with someone very close to them, but in specific situations ). As an i intj i do that, almost everyday night, but the next day, feelings off. Intj way of thinking is, analyzing and thinking all the consequences and results about a specific choice. They are doing that, because they believe that everything has a connection with everything. Thats make them great problem solvers. As far as their relationship with feellers, i "feel" akward, when the feeller is in the unstable-feeling state, and i even dont know how to respond or say, lol.! (Especially if the reason is idiotic and nonsense). As an intj my classic and only response is to exlpain them, the facts in a logical way, and try to find a solution!

Yep, there has to be a reason why we do something. If there is no reason, then it's pointless. And I don't want to waste my time doing something pointless.

Yes! If there was another way (better way), I would have told you. If it comes out of my mouth, it's the truth, the final answer. If I dont speak on it, I dont know of it. And I might admit to it 🙈

Yes yes yes that is what i think all the time ,does any one cares about these issues as much I care a bout these issues

My good old friend Jules Winfield once said: "I thought so" after looking at the title

INTJ female here: everyone else just needs to listen to us. World hunger solved. You are welcome! *Sarcasm, people, sarcasm.

"If there was a better way I would have thought of it already" --- this pisses people off like no other.... but so often it's true, and so often I can prove it. We don't "run" the maze, we step back and visualize the solution from a wider angle than most. INTJ's like to have a team, but we don't often like to participate "with" the team because the team is hung up in theatrics and emotions while we can be in the background solving problems. We thrive on thoughtful appreciation, especially when someone notices a detail that most people wouldn't. Don't just point out our flaws, tell us how to fix them and we will be forever in your debt. Be loyal to us and we will never betray you.

My life makes sense rn listening to this and in the most “I hate it” way possible. I changed my major from nursing to business/ accounting 2 yrs ago. Two months ago I walked out of my receptionist job bc I couldn’t understand why ppl were so sensitive and whiny.. (literally journaled, & tried to bring new ideas for me to ‘be better w ppl’ in order to solve the issue ppl b having) And Im in love w a guy who I sabotaged everything w bc I can’t let myself b w someone I can’t see myself eventually bringing home to my parents. So ya yay me

>Be INTJ >Read title >Get ego boost

I am your 1000th subscriber - INTJ

Very INTENTIONAL.

It sure was exciting to have that INTJ logo glaring at me for 30 minutes, especially since this was supposedly taken from a podcast...

Chuck Taylor... love your tennis shoes. The "oil" analogy was a great idea.

Does anyone else care about these issues as much as I care about these issues_ Sounds familiar!

'Genius' - so hyperbolic.

"I've forgotten more than you'll ever know." I have said something like this since high school, out of frustration mostly. I forget things three times before you even pick it up for the first time. In school, classes are designed terribly. They're designed to teach someone who doesn't think logically how to do math. Why? Can we teach them logic first? The first five chapters in a Calculus book aren't even what you need to know. It's stages in a process to get you to understanding the equation that is applicable. I went to college when I was 15 with 14th grade level understanding. I'm not saying this to brag, this is a testament to how low our standards are with education.

Good info! INTJ here. Totally agree to this video. Subscribed to you just now bro.

I think intj's collect knowledge that pertains to a certain subject. Intp's like to collect as much knowledge as possible.
