joe shmoe It’s not feeding our egos, it’s simply gathering a variety of information on a topic to make sure we have it right. We can’t help we’re great
Bro- literally. I’ve been trying to get better at this. I feel justified to be this freaking narcissistic, but I’ve at least managed to keep myself in check lately by practicing self consciousness...You guys should give it a go lol, you guys be sounding a lil’ cringe.
The Joker i think of my narcissism as being the best for myself and not necessarily as better or entitled and just overall kinda like self love but more than that
Friend: "What should I do?" INTJ: "Here're five things you need to do." Friend: *Did only two and failed* "I shouldn't have listened to your worthless advice." INTJ: 🙄
@@fayssal7655 I was thinking about this the other day. I was trying to give a brief explanation about quantum mechanics, and my first inclination was to start with Newton. It reminded me of that episode in The Big Bang Theory where Sheldon tries to teach Penny about physics - and keeps starting with, "It was a warm summer's evening in Ancient Greece..." TBBT is kind of crap, but I do have a lot of Sheldon-esque tendencies.
It's okay. It's not always accurate. There are 7 billion people in the world and not all those 16 personalities fit accurately and certainly. There's bound to be a difference.
@@marythr2617 where do you get your information from? And how often/ how many people take their time to think/ speak of personality types? Let's get real.
You are right on with the stresses part and how we can indulge in this. Also, it's hard to get out of my own head while I'm around a lot of people or when I'm bored.
@Dragonic Overlord the End have you read about your type on the internet, and thought: "that's exactly me". Even if the tests aren't very accurate, you can just read about the types and find yours
The older an INTJ gets, the more differentiated & focused we become... I find emotions to be a primary distraction & essentially ignore them. I actively AVOID anything social, as it embodies emotional tags... wholly illogical & tend to "muddy" trajectories. I am content to burrow into a targeted topic, whether that be through research or engaging in intelligent exchanges with individuals who can carry their side of the conversation. Those who attach "derogatory descriptors" to my conduct, make me smirk as I check them off my list!!!💜
Even though I was replying to you after 2 years, everything you mentioned here is incredibly correct. I can score higher and better grades and pointers respectively with an emotionless state.
Even though we intjs are more 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. In the end we are humans beings therefore we are bound to the human condition and neglecting ourselves from our humanly needs we 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 people 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. P.S: Pardon me if i made any kind of typo English is my third language.
@@danielio87 While you bring valid points to the foreground that few even recognize, I wholeheartedly DISAGREE w/your insistence in driving the human points home; my humanness is a DRAG... You can have my helping with my blessings!!! I'll steep in my Vulcan-ness... ALONE.🖤
Excellent video, in my opinion. The point I liked most, even though you didn’t come right out and say it, is that INTJs are successful in what THEY are interested in so each INTJs true intelligence is based in their own personal interests. So, yeah, I score in the 90th percentile but I could give a crap about computer science. It’s just another tool to me. More expensive than a hammer but still a tool. Thanks!
If INTJs are doing something that they are not interested in, they won't give 100% effort. I find myself doing that all the time. My college gpa was a reflection of how interested I was in the class. I would say half my classes were interesting and half were not.
welll I'm an INTJ woman; I don't know If I"m crazy but I can read people intentions just watching their gestures and even If they don't say a word; I read their behaviour and their intentions like If It was reflected into a mirror. But believe me sometimes it's A CURSE cuz I feel so mad about how much people are so fake. I see intentions as smell. I know what I said is crazy but YES I SMELL INTENTIONS.
I'm male, but It's funny I always took that "ability" (?) for granted when I was younger. The things I would pick up on seemed so obvious to me, and I'd be floored when other people wouldn't notice the things that were screaming in my face. I just attributed it to the fact that I generally observed more than I spoke/interacted, so I was able to catch the little things. I'm not staring people down or "trying to read them"... I just notice what I notice. Sometimes I'm wrong in my assumptions and judgement, but a LOT of times, I'm spot on. It's the little details (as you'd already mentioned, gestures, facial expressions, vocal inflections, etc) that either put me at ease, or make an eyebrow shoot up, draw me in, or make it clear I need to keep my distance... Rough...
I'm also an INTJ woman (inlc HSP) and read ppls intentions too. I can smell it too, Maybe wee smell the chemical reaction from their body ?! I also can see and feel ppls aura. I felt like a freak for a long time, but now i'm ok with it.
You smell their 'energy'. :) I don't smell it, but I 'feel' it--my brain can read a room or a person in a heartbeat. I'm not even conscious of it--it just 'is'---and it just does. I get instant feedback from my senses that 'make me feel a certain way'. It's something like our gut feeling(s), but amped-up and more specific.
@@s_yash No, he's saying you're not yet a mature INTJ. If you truly desire the ability to succeed at math you will see the patterns. It will take time, but it will come to you.
I’m INTJ and I hate math and I hate math because it is senseless. Why do we need to sit around in a classroom doing math? It’s a waste of time. On the other hand I love engineering because engineering has a point. So maybe you’re not bad at math but bored. Something will catch your attention and it will more then likely involve math!
Ken Fannin I feel you man I cheated my way thru highs cool math because I felt that i was bad at it and thought it was useless , but once I hit college and knew that I needed to learn fucking accounting the numbers were just making sense in my head
INTJ here. I too thought I was bad at math, especially as a younger person. Turns out, I just had poor teachers who put me in the back of the room in elementary school because I wasn’t “getting it” as quickly as others. Keep in mind this was the late 70’s / early 80’s. My struggles carried through high school as well. Once I got to college though, it seems that math somewhat opened up for me and my struggles ceased. If you’re an INTJ and struggling with math, don’t lose hope or accept your own bullshit false narrative, as it is likely not true.
Good vid. Excellent observation regarding music. It has saved my ass in so many ways, as an INTJ, and just as a human, in general . I hadn't considered how it relates to Se but your explanation makes sense. Thank you for making this.
Music has always been my "escape- decompression chamber"... Varied styles that I select from relative to my mood. I can be perplexed with a biochemistry dilemma, withdraw into a ride in my roadster, cranking Stevie Ray, come back 2 hours later... & BAM!!! THERE'S THE SOLUTION!!! Superb!!!💜
Rules in my house... Living Room and Kitchen must stay clean and orderly. My kids room? Shut the door so I can't see it. Of course my room is tidy and neat, cause I'm a nut about that stuff.
I took a test about a month ago and figured out that I am an INTJ-A. I've never looked into or thought about personality types before and only took the test because my boyfriend suggested it to me so he could learn more about me. When I started learning about this personality I was shocked at how painfully accurate this was and has been throughout my life. My boyfriend was shocked as well. This has explained so much about me and why I do some of the things I do. Before I looked into it I always thought something was wrong with me and I was even diagnosed with a rare type of ADHD but now I feel so reassured knowing there are more people out there with this and now I can better explain myself.
This is why INTJs love MBTI. We usually feel we are very different to other people. Once you understand why, it's a burden off your back. I think more common types don't get the same epiphany and so don't get as excited about MBTI.
It's fascinating how INTJs can be good or totally miss out at something. When I look back I realize that no one was able to even explain why I had to learn a certain subject, so I concluded it was a formality and treated it as such. However, when I needed to get into a university it turned out I had to have certain knowledge. Then in 6-9 months I got the high school course, learned a foreign language, then another (next year) and I'm quite confident that if it had to be maths I would have to learn that, too. At the university it was more of the same, very few professors could explain why I needed their course.
There are so many intj videos on RU-vid which makes sense since there are so many of us intjs on RU-vid trying to either understand ourselves or boost our egos. Smart move appeal to us.
A lot of people in the comments saying that they have the lowest grades in their class and how they are hardly passing, lets be real we all have moments like that but we know that if we really want something we will get it. I was one of the worst in my class but then I decided I wanted to be better. I had a motivation rush, and got to the highest in class. I stayed there for 2 weeks or so. Now I'm avarage at class but I know that if I wanna get really high grades, with effort I can.
I really value this deeper look to enhance understanding of the INTJ as well as use of references. Presentation above exhibits real talent in this MBTI field and is excellent.
Intj and I've never been a numbers person. I mean, I can do math, and I'm very careful with it. But I prefer analyzing data than making major calculations.
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

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.
My “Se” remedy: “Rubbing, Walk in nature, Going for long rides on the highway, going to the mall @ enter most stores to look around at the design, lay outs, customer service, and beautiful things.” This remedy also engages my “Te”. Afterwards, I feel as renewed & recharged as I do when isolated, thinking; “Ni “.
I have a new FB friend that is an INTJ and I like him a lot. BTW I'm INFJ. He is rather outspoken and has FB friended people who are politically his opposite. This astonished me, that he would welcome personal attacks for the opportunity to debate with these trolls. He also has been suspended by FB for being too suggestive of things that FB wants to regulate for their protection against governmental action. He intrigues me and the only function that we have in common is that we both are introverted intuitives.
I am a professional photographer and videographer who is an INTJ I tend to combine all of the best parts of me to connect with people emotionally (fi) and do it visually (se) and keep the science in the forefront of my mind (te) while doing most of it alone (ni)
I suck with numbers for the most part, and names but I have an exceptional spatial awareness, a hawk’s eye for detail and insane recall from conversations. I am addicted to theoretical physics and being a math whiz would be fantastic! I can’t watch tv and get irritated with pop culture. I will jump off a skyscraper to avoid small talk and gossip. I may even throw someone else off a building to avoid small talk and gossip. Just helping evolution along, that’s all! You’re welcome.
Wow, this described me perfectly. I obviously expected most of it to, as it is my personality type, but the not eating part caught me off guard -- I often completely forget to eat, sometimes for days on end, simply because I'm caught up in a project or a series of tasks.
I'm not really sure if I'm more judging or perceiving. Cause I'm not honest about my thoughts to people. Of course I judge them in my mind but I tell them the otherwise just because I want to avoid problems. I just don't want to have problems with anyone. So it's more like "I'm protecting myself from other people's anger"
Music dosent have anything to do with being in the moment. When I'm playing or singing time dosent exist. Only the music is going on. It is an experience that transcends the moment. Same thing with sewing and sculpting my fingers are interfacing with the medium and my mind has conceptualized how things are going to go and I have no experience of time. I become the sewing or the clay just as I am the ideas that have nothing corporial to them. Just because an intj is physically a clumsy and awkward thing compared to other types when it comes to skiing or gymnastics doesnt mean we cannot react with physical things on our own terms as effectively as other types. The medium's we interact with most effectively will be the ones our bodies mind body connection is most comfort with which would be an individual case by case preference. But it is possible and of benifit to intjs to find an intellectually stimulating physical outlet in what appears to be the present to other people.
Hypocrites would label intj as melancholy ,phlegmatic and Choleric sanguine or Melancholy phlegmatic sanguine Choleric in that order . melancholy is the geniius of abstract thought
Yes you nailed it .melancholy is the geniius behind abstract thought . Intj s are melancholy dominant and phlegmatic secondary ,sanguine tertiary and Choleric . you cannot be just melancholy no more than a negative can be active with out a positive. Where is the hypocrisy geniius
@@iamjayprakash i was talking to an infj, she have a hard time to open up to me, she clearly showed her big interest but she couldn't push the talk more deeply on a personal level so i can build some connection from it. so if that your case, i tell you as an intj, try to show your interest then open up a bit, test the reaction (without lot of overthinking), then open more and so on, not only after 7 months of talk but from start.
@@fayssal7655 you guys are workaholics like us .productivity efficiency .hahaha..I have shown my emotions .I said her you are the most amazing I ever know she asked reason and replied I guess she is taking time more to decide .
That's all nice and everything... So basically you're telling me that as an INTJ I should be kinda successful. In this case I really don't understand why I am a failure that has no talent whatsoever...
Not necessarily successful as that depend on your environment and what you do about it, but INTJ HAVE the potential for success. If you are an intj i doubt you have no talent at all, maybe just think about your real interests and practice on them. I hope you find the best path for your personalty
Yeah dont do visual math well dysgraphia gets in the way but I do really well with music which is math with your ears and sculpting and sewing which is tactile geometry.
I don't think I'll ever be happy with non INTJs describing us. The other 15 personality types view the world completely different, so trying to "science" it out with psychology always comes across as disingenuous, no matter how familiar their generic material might feel.
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.
very inteligent man! real recognise real but i can illustrate how that theory doesn't apply to all of us.. INTJ's.. not all INTJs recognise their our we usually clash.
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.
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.
As for me, it’s hard to work regularly for a long period of time.. cause after a while the same work seems boring for me and I just need to rest and to learn something new and unusual a little bit. And then I can return to my work 😄
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.
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.
I plan on starting a business. I'm very protected to my family and my parents and my siblings my Circle of Friends are extroverts. They are fun to hang out I don't like going out to party's to me there pointless and I'm 19 to be honest yeah I get high because I think way to much and I have adhd and I have a learning disability but i really don't care I'm not going to let that stop me. I love exercise working out it's fun doing it with my best friend Yeah he's a ass hole some times but he been there for me since grade school
Hey great video I just wanted to ask am I am INTJ I like wearing blazers and all things blue I always beat my self up if I fail my I look up to are Albert Einstein and Steven Hawkings I love school and always do my homework and follow the rules my worst fear is failure I always have a plan even which thing on my plate to eat first but I like being with my friend and family but never answer calls and always keep my phone on silent I also dream up big crazy ideas
You mentioned an INTJ "in your church." As an INTJ teenager, many years ago, my LOGIC took over and decided church is a crock. I can't figure out how an INTJ can possibly be religious since religion is all about blind belief and following, like a sheep. Where's the logic in believing someone died on a cross so YOU can go to Heaven??? To a legitimate INTJ, this makes no sense, so I think that all supposed INTJs who claim to be religious aren't INTJs at all. Religion simply isn't logical and requires victim mentality based on believing in a devil and hell and the ability to say things like, "The devil made me do it." No personal responsibility there, just victimization, an inability to be responsible for everything you do. INTJs aren't subject to fear porn and do not wear stupid masks (2020) and find those who do stupid since they believe in the govt's goodness (!!!) and want to FOLLOW the govt, who will tell them what to do. I'm pretty sure INTJs are LEADERS...
As a fellow intj, I can assure you that when you realize that God is the Author of all life, the logic of Christianity becomes apparent. “Religion “ is man reaching for God; Christianity is God reaching man. There’s quite a huge difference. Vaya con Dios, amigo!
Not surprising that an INTJ would abhor the more surface and seemingly manipulative practice of religion and I did read somewhere that INTJs are often the least represented as believers, but that is not the same thing as determining there is no god for oneself. INTJ here, and it is absolutely possible to use logic to assess the high likelihood of a creator. Example: understanding genes are information or programming code, and programming is indicative of an intelligence. An INTJ will not accept someone else's renditoin of the divine but will want to figure it out for themselves. But you miss the fact that logic is not the sole way of dealing with information for the INTJ. Intuition is the most prominent function; the 6th sense can make an INTJ more open to spirituality when they see life connected in a pattern and imagine/interpret that not all things are explained by the material world. They know things that cannot be explained easily by logic, when they are open to intuition to search out the deeper things in life. Once explore, the conviction is strong, just like any other area of life an INTJ examines in detail.

benny hinn, not sure where you got this but i had no issue talking to women (one on one only mind you) and can start easily with any topic. What i suggest is to be pay attention on what people value or what gets them tick. Focus on question that lets people talk more. Then simply glide the conversation along. Of course if your goal is to be attractive, im pretty sure there are lots of videos on that subject in RU-vid. INTJ have a different type of wavelength so we tend to only talk with interesting people we can learn and exchange ideas from so getting laid is usually not in a table because it can also be a hassle and be regarded as a player easily which is bad in many ways. Relationships happen if they happen but we don't really care that much on that.
