(5g) What She Said -- INTJ cognitive functional analysis 

Another great series! It took me a while to watch it all because I'm studying abroad right now and free time is scarce, but it was worth the time and effort! I love all your observations and it was incredibly interesting and fun to see the little nuances that make this personality type unique. It was very entertaining to see the many similarities and the large differences between the INTJ and my type and I have a better understanding of what it is that makes them different and the motivations and quirks that make them them. Thank you again and thanks for sharing!

Enid, I love this video. As you know I have watched many of your earlier videos and the first thing I noticed is that you have grown (so have I ) and second that your audio and video quality is much better (it is really good). You really get INTJs now. Not that you didn't before,but just much better now. I couldn't agree more that intuitive doms can't go 3 minutes (I wish I could go that long, hehe) without showing their intuition influence. Actually in day to day interactions I suppress that (it is too deep for most people and they look at me like I am weird). I can't speak for all INTJs,but everything I say about them is based on a combination of my own analysis of myself and the many INTJs I have watched whom are eerily similar in so many ways and come to the same conclusions (independently) on near every topic. It isn't often,but I do occasionally get stuck in an Ni Fi loop (I think I have figured out how to not let that happen again) and it causes extreme anxiety. Some INTJs might suppress their feelings so much that they never experience this loop,but I think they are missing out if they can't realize the importance of emotions. I am just starting to realize this and it is a huge wake up call. Emotions govern all of us and they are the spice of life. Emotions are what make us "feel" conscious. You mentioned that INTJs think (long and hard) about these deep ideas or incite,but I don't think it is like that at all. Ni is a "free lunch" and it is about "realizing things",rather than thinking about things. As long as an INTJ can allow their mind to be at peace (emotions are needed for that),their intuition will be on fire (feeding them everything their conscious mind focuses on). INTJs just need to take in plenty of (rational) info and Ni will do all the dirty work. I think this is why INTJs often don't know "sources" (it is irrelevant in a constructivist mindset). So many times when delving into a new topic of interest,I would go back the next day to read more and realize that I already knew much of the "new" info. That is the way Ni works (everything is connected),seeking patterns 24/7 in the background. The broader the knowledge an INTJ has (and I am sure an INFJ) will carry over to related topics (with Ni we are taking the slightest nuance is related). I think Ni really is an unbiased processor of pattern recognition,however it's focus is dictated by the conscious mind's focus (bias)and it is limited to the depth and accuracy of the information allowed to be stored in the data bank from which it draws big picture conclusions. The more info I add gives me more inner clarity,but the added complexity makes it even harder to explain to others. It is like a web of connections (a linear progression isn't necessary) where I can start from any position and forever branch out with tangents. I could type a novels worth of text regarding the incite you inspired with your video and still not feel satisfied that I explained all relevant connections. If any INTJs read this,they should consider the importance of their feelings.because it will open up a whole new can of worms,but a beautiful can of worms. Can you even "feel" proud of your intellect without emotions? Enid,I really appreciate your incite and what you spark in my own incite. I think INTJs should be more grateful to all those that spark their incite,because everything feeds that web (of answers)that they love so much. I missed you Enid,but I can't spend too much time on a single focus of interest, otherwise I get too (narrow)focused and sometimes I see the biases creep in. I have lost track of time watching your videos(I find you very interesting) only to realize that it was 4 in the morning and I had to get up for work in 2 hours. Thanks for the work you put into your videos,it is much appreciated, Gord.

I'm trying to borrow the intj rule making thing so thank you for pointing out that subtle nuance. I love the idea of being able to take pieces from the other types "playbook s" and incorporate them into my experience (modifying it sometimes). When I remember to set a rule before doing something that would normally take me a really long time or be emotionally draining it helps me make decisions faster and pivot when necessary so I don't get stuck for as long as I use to.... Great Insights!

Hi, thanks for your video, amazing analysis. It’s pleasure to have amazing person like you in RU-vid. I agree that often INTJ can’t explain things of their logic it’s because of their Fi underneath that creates the logic. We know that innermost feeling is very hard to explain in short amount of time. We have to think hard alone to explain things more deliverately. Also grown up INTJ cares about audiences in the context, we like to even consider next step for audiences when we say things. But i guess most of amazing analysis comes from negatives perspectives, but conclude in positive intention to fix it. So what’s next? I love your videos, i’m huge fan of you! Please keep going, i would probably makes some videos as well. Much thanks
