I think there's a lot of assholes in the comments. Why see virtue in saying things like you hate people and everyone but yourself is an idiot. It's not true. Not everyone is an idiot and I actually can't believe these comments, there's just too much to even go over. You people think you're special but you've been taken over by a trend. You see this shit on pajamas and mugs along with the love for cats ect. You're narcissists so you want to be so different and and coat your dickhead personalities in a rare personality type which again adds more to your egos. I see this shit in infj comment sections too.
@Bookworm it's genuinely really fucking hard to read this comment section xD .....oh wait intj's wouldn't have made that face, I should shut up because I'm not an intj and everyone else in this comment section is
you are most likely an authentic intj, narcissists like to mistype themselves as intj because it makes them sound like their offensiveness is justifiable, they have a vast storehouse of knowledge an intj has and can pass swift judgement on others, which isn't really what judging means. i learned this from a guy that types for govt intelligence, its a good way to discover how people lie about who they are, how people present themselves vs reality, and in the case of a narcissist its extreme.
Same here, i am bad at talking to people so doing so takes a lot of energy and hanging around people just isn't the most important thing to me. I do aprecciate my friends and the people close to me though, i just don't like how even talking to them is draining, they have to be super understanding or similar to me for me to want to be around them and as i said i preffer focusing on other things.
@@Gee-xb7rt for some reason there is the belief we're sociopaths. People who just classify themselves as INTJ without even bothering to check the test and are like "I AM AN INTJ, I HAVE NO FEELINGS, I HATE EVERYONE LOL". I took the test 3 times, all got INTJ, i have feelings and i aprecciate the small group of people i talk to on an almost daily basis, wich according to what i said before wouldn't make me an INTJ, oh well ... i guess i am just a perfectionist who values alone time, honesty, fairness, logic and effiency, thinks of longterm and shorterm plans for everything and is open minded unless an idea has no logic behind it, who is not an INTJ according to them. what?
I'm not an INTJ, but I know a lot of INTJs irl, and they're very humble and quiet, like veeery quiet. (Ni doms are the quietest types i think). Extremely intelligent but generous. Tertiary Fi makes them romantic and artistic. You'll find some INTJ who interested or even have a career in music or poetry. They're patient and cold-headed thinkers. People on the internet who call themselves intj mAstERmINDs are the ones that gave this type a bad reputation. But this is just my opinion.
@@scarletfever3086 I'm an INFP type 4w5, so i have that kind of mindset as well. I think all of the INxx types have the same tendencies to feel like they're lowkey superior to everyone especially the 4 and 5 (elitist 4 and "observe without doing anything" 5). Also, a lot of them have social blindspot. They're always in their head, but if once they realize they have to grow as a person, they'll try to improve their tertiary and inferior functions.
@@Mandombb yes! you seem to know a lot about personalities so thanks for helping me understand better. but everything you said is exactly what I’m like.
Yes, it takes me a while to build up the confidence to ask help, I think it’s because we would rather do things by our selves instead of being a burden to someone else.
That will to defy pain that Arnold Schwarzenegger was talking about is an underrated quality of the INTJ. Most people seem to get caught up with the aloofness and confidence (they call it arrogance often) to really see that, yes- a healthy INTJ will be more than willing to experience pain, stress and discomfort in long intervals if they believe it is worth it.
I mean also, I don't think throwing up is a sign you should continue exercising. We tend to neglect our own bodily needs (Se inferior lol). At the same time, I've noticed in myself and I think it's true for a lot of us, that we're immediately willing to give up something if we believe it would be better in the long run for the whole (like when we're working on something in a group), we don't really think about it not being pleasant, aren't really aware of it a lot, we're just certain it's the right thing so we go and do it. Empathy has a lot of forms and I think this can be much more empathetic than some Fe doms' tendency to shower you with affirmations and sweet gestures that don't really mean anything at core, just because they're trying to make you feel better immediately without considering the long-term impact. People express emotions differently and it's a pity we still haven't learned to communicate them with each other instead of assuming and accusations.
"Statistically speaking 1 out of the 5 has a good chance of being unhappy at any given point" - Haha. I break situations into probabilistic summaries all the time.
I think the stereotypical INTJ of "Everyone around me is an idiot" is an inner satire that runs throughout our thoughts. At times we forget to keep this in check. But as INTJs mature, it really becomes evident that we want the best for everyone. Without being people-pleasers, we want the best for everyone. Without being totally blinded by bias, we are fiercely loyal. Without being arrogant, we want to relate and communicate with people of all walks. Just like with all personality types, or just 'individuals' if you're uncomfortable thinking of 'The Types', there are strengths and weaknesses in all of us. Some of us welcome knowledge and understanding of another's strengths without feeling the need to attack their weaknesses. Others...
"Everyone around me is an idiot" should be INTP, I have intp friends, one basically told me he sometimes thinks he's a god and felt frustrated that people around him didn't concern about global warming and stuff, and why they're so stupid.... As an INTJ, I don't care what the others are doing or thinking, I would never want to control others, it's exhausting.
@@SemanthaJen I agree with this. My INTP is so much more into people problems. I just keep my distance and am very selective with the humans I allow in.
Hi there,ummm I don't whether I'm too late to join the comment section,but just let you know that what you told is carbon copy of my thoughts. I thought I was weird and stand out everywhere I go,so your comment made my day. Thank you mate😊
People do realise that INTJs (like me) are very much capable of being emotionally mature and considerate, right? As much as I relate to being an INTJ, being a personality type is not my whole world. Also, miss the time when interviews were like these, you know? Real questions and answers and not just some joke show.
As the daughter of an INTJ and INTP, I say that's because he's INTP. Dat inferior Fe! INTPs can be a bit emotionally distant, but endlessly fascinated by the chaos of children! 😂
@@HelloHi-hp6sn You are the one being impolite. Intjs are smart enough how to handle all types of people such as yourself. Thank you for cementing my point precisely.
INTJ eating Nutella. Starts questioning why is this product too expensive? Is it worth my money? Get's up,went to the grocery store and starts picking up ingredients to create a Nutella. INTJ loves to challenge the norms, rather than just accepting things just because it's whats accepted by society. Normal is boring to INTJ.
Well as an intj I would just buy another product similar to Nutella and buy that, because making sth like that is not really efficient, in the time I make this Nutella I could just do so many other things (stereotypically planning)
I tend to touch behind my ears, nose, and scratch my hair a lot when I'm nervous. Same for my dad who i suspect is an INTJ. Unrelated, but these things somehow irks my mom to no end - she views them as "insincerity" or "guilt" from the person. Haha. (Idk her type, suspect she's ExFJ)
This was a really good selection of interviews. Arnold showing his strong comfort with goals and believing strongly that the end goal is satisfying enough to justify all the pain he goes through is a good mark of Te i would say. Jodie saying she's comfortable criticizing and directing things from the background but hating too much attention is a good match, a good description of what INTJs are like too. Elon Musk immediately pointing out to the logical side of things by talking about "resource conflicts"... tbh i thought that was funny hehe.
A bodybuilder with inferior Se? That bird don't fly. I'd guess ENTJ if he isnt a sensor based on his Napoleonic sense of purpose combined with strong tertiary Se.
Janet Williams a celebrity who I feel I really relate to as an INTJ is Paul Simon, though I can't say with 100% certainty that he is one (though I can never be certain in typing anyone besides myself). Might want to watch some of his interviews.
One of the ways one can find out if someone is INTJ is based on their need to be around competence. One thing that triggers us more than anything is incompetence. Jodie nailed it it in her interview. Elon is not an INTJ although I think he’s well developed for an INTP from all the other interviews I’ve seen.
well also every time i see elon musk on a thumbnail of an intj video, i get the urge to defenestrate my computer. if i got a nickel every time someone assumed we're super successful mastermind geniuses, i'd have enough money to make people think i actually am one. not to mention that he's a pretty shitty person and even though he kind of prides himself in having "asperger's" (the term hasn't been used anymore for years), he's wasting his money on colonising mars and coming up with a cure for autism instead of trying to fix this dump we call our planet. i couldn't care less about his type honestly. by the way, this "mastermind genius" mostly has his employees to thank for his fame and family for the money. truly the epitome of humanity.
Thank you. People confuse avoiding social interaction with actively hating others. INTJs process their ideas and emotions differently, but they are quite deep and intense. When I finally let my passion out people confuse the intensity with rage or anger... Just adds to the armor I guess.
I avoid social interactions because i’m socially awkward af and it’s easier avoiding them than doing something embarassing. Like in social situations i tend to do what others do because i have no clue how am i supposed to act
Xochitl Sandoval sadly with feelers taking over the world, they pollute their emotions and drama that is becoming the new normal, by eliminating logic and reason, which kind of sucks.😥
Kevin Fuk The Token Evil Teammate Without emotion, we would cease to be human. Robotic, cold, distant. I’m glad we have actually people “polluting” our world capable of warmth, kindness and genuine compassion.
Kevin Fuk The Token Evil Teammate I agree to an extent, but taking other peoples emotions into account when making decisions is important as well. Everyone should learn to use both logic and emotion, using only logic all the time sucks just as much as only using your emotions.
People see INTJ's as extremely intelligent people who are always on top of their class and spend most of their time planning mvrder. As an INTJ, I'm pretty sure I'm not "Extremely intelligent". I love reading stories and stuff but I'm not into studying books related to my syllabus. But I still study when exams are near only cause I like getting good grades, also cause getting good grades is very important for my second career option. We are definitely not naturally intelligent, We gotta work hard to achieve our goals just like any other normal person. And we DO NOT spend most of our time planning mvrders cause it's troublesome and waste of our time. If you think about mvrdering ppl all the time... you're a psychopaths not an INTJ
I don't get involved in everything they have in this world. I give it a lot of thought as if it does not come natural to just join in with this place/earth.
Exact the opposite in my case, I never found a single fictional character relatable. And I am a typical normie who roots for the good guys instead of the bad guy. I love pragmatic antiheroes though and am a sucker for the evil for the sake of being evil kind of villain like Darkseid.
Is it okay that I am a religious INTJ who actually totally agrees with that guy on theocracies? The idea of forcing anyone else to function as though they agree with me just drives me nuts.
I somewhat agree with him in some ways. I'm a Christian and I teach Sunday school. I'm more into teaching the kids how to think rather than indoctrinating them, so they make their own choices. Although, I wouldn't want to push my ideology on anyone, I also can't dismiss the fact that the Western world was founded on Judeo Christian values. The free will to choose, is perhaps one of the reasons we are able to say what we think here. But when humans see that opportunity and freedom we abuse it and then start to remove that freedom from others. Which is starting to happen slowly in the Western world.
Intjs are so interesting... there is something familiar about them to me...I'm an infp and i find we can relate, but they are also refreshingly rebellious and independent Edit: (May 16th 2020) I didnt know this got over 100 likes :3 I never got that many likes before hehe yay!
A boyfriend is an INTJ, I'm INFP . 8 years of relationship together. It can be very frustrating but it was very harmonious. Learning about MBTI makes our clash /conflict make sense.
2:37 "did you just take that from your brother " ....lol ...we as intj's have a tendency to sarcastically ask what another person just did if it's wrong or stupid . I do it all the time with my kids . It's to make them realize what they just did ...accuracy ...you get an A.
Foster is so point - so accurate - exhausted needing to *explain* WHY something is not a good idea - (yes, I HAVE thought about that - considered, rejected - wont work...) - how can other people not think about *consquences* of given action - not just that - ALL the ramifactions after that - exhausting
As a chaotic directionless INFP, It would be nice to have a structural, strict, goal-oriented INTJ in my life...They fascinate me with their deep intellect.
I'm married to an intj and except for the thing they hyper focus on they pretty much fail at real life. I'm an isfj and hold everything else together in our family. I'm not complaining, my husband and I make a great team but somehow we put INTJs on a pedestal but they are humans just like anyone else with a ton of shortcomings.
@@annacbrown1986 yes, I agree. I believe that everybody has many flaws and mistakes to work on and learn from. Even INTJs, like myself, need to grow and learn. We can still be idiots and be more sensitive to others feelings.
Some INTJ's are impossible, it's like they make their mind up about you within 10 seconds of meeting you and if they categorize you into the "not helpful to me" bracket you're as good as dead to them. Maybe I've just had bad experiences but I've had that feeling with more than 1 male INTJ. I do have a female INTJ friend who is absolutely lovey though, she wasn't like that at all. And I'm an INTP so it's not like I'm sensitive, it's just struck me as odd how the INTJ males I've met have been so quick to judge and discount others.
I find that males are more easily cynical than females. And intjs are more easily cynical than all other types. So intj males are real special boys lol.
im intp and 1st of all i do the same exept i wouldnt put whole 10 seconds of my attention into it lmao, also its hard for intp for to fit into unhelpful so im sorry
A personnality type is a spectrum, there are infinite possibilities of behaviours, habits and reactions within a single type, it's perfectly normal to not relate to many of the INTJ stereotypes (especially because they are stereotypes), an example would be an INTJ loving kids and wanting them. I am an INTJ, and I wouldn't mind one or two children, i like them.
Ironically I am very much INTJ, and a very devout, born-again Christian. It just goes to show the great variety even within the INTJ community. Having said this, I realize the traps of theocracies and believe they should never be implemented. The Framers of the U.S. Constitution recognized this pitfall too, ergo the establishment clause prohibiting any state-sponsored religion and/or denomination.
Xochitl Sandoval looks and sounds like Richard Branson but I’m not sure. It would make sense given the story of his life. There’s a documentary on it it’s very good.
She (the first girl) looks and acts so much like someone I know, and I think that person an IxTJ. These two types always look reserved to the very core. :)
From the clip alone, Russel came off as more of an xSTP to me. Sort of a smug coolness, plus being in a band like that... And the way he described things was more Fe than Te to me.
The only video I mostly felt more than just understood based on Myers briggs since it resembles me hahaha I really value your talent at picking these up.
Btw. ...Arnold is an ENTJ ....just a different sub type . Julia on the other hand is a perfect example of an female INTJ . it's more difficult for female INTJs because of social stereotypes to be themselves. They come off as being "bitchy" or "snobby" . Another example of an INTJ ....Robert Deniro
DeNiro is not an INTJ. He is way too externally emotional and passionate. Just look at his reaction to Donald Trump. He has made it his platform and mission to tell the world just what he thinks about DT. Most INTJs I know wouldn't make a public declaration about hating someone. They would if asked directly, but not initiate it. If and INTJ hated Donald Trump they would just be like, "He (Trump's) an asshole. And have nothing to do with him. They wouldn't even waste their energy hating him. Now if Trump got in his face, then that's another story. INFJs on the other hand, great kind people, but if you piss them-off.. watch out. haha. INTJs only if you directly are doing something to them or their family. They are pretty much-mind their own business type. Any INTJs have an opinion on this?
@INTJ-Scorpio-Sigma-Male since INTJ tend to hate fashion, it's difficult as an INTJ female to use them to properly signal receptivity to males who want to approach. Plus, the attention received by the males can be too much for INTJ females because like Jodie Foster said we don't want to be the center of attention.
What subtype are you talking about? He seems like a solid INTJ, have you seen his documentaries? He talks about his visions all the time. Perhaps the video shown here wasn't that good of a example.
@INTJ-Scorpio-Sigma-Male not to make it a pissing contest about who has it harder ......but i really do believe that females have it harder for the following reasons: 1.Intj males can pull off the whole mysterious aura better than intj females (because it is a desired trait in males not so much in females for many reasons that i am not getting into here ) 2. Males have a better time being percieved as assholes(some even think its manly) 3. Females are supposed to be nurturing and kind and emotional .(when you defy those expectations something MUST be wrong with you ) . 4. As a male you are allowed to not want to marry and can dedicate your life to whatever cause you choose . But as a female the social pressure on you to find yourself a suitable husband and bare children is excessive and the more you push back the more the backlash is .whenever you hear the word spinster you automatically think of a woman and the word in it self is not fluttering. And even if you are a middle aged very successful female it all comes down to whether you succeeded in nailing down a husband . There are more reasons but then i would be writing a book not a comment on youtube. Men and women are more alike than they think and the reason why you can't find a suitable woman is because you have been chasing the wrong kind . Personality wise the ones you have been after just don't fit you . If you were a woman you still wouldn't have gotten along with them . Birds of feather and all that.
@INTJ-Scorpio-Sigma-Male i honestly think you were mistyped as an intj(because online tests seem to overlap traits with other psych. Groups) . Do a real person to person test with a psychologist next time . I sense serious issues ,frustrations and obbsessions just from your writing , deal with them and stop blaming society for your short comings .
I really appreciated this video. It was really nice to see people similar to me since I rarely meet them. Part of the problem being an introvert. I like how they all have a very similar calm and thoughtful vibe. I really relate to and appreciate them. I especially liked Judy Foster’s interview. Even as a man, I felt like I could relate so much to her energy. Thanks for the video cheers
Roger is actually an INFJ, he has a higher sense of Introverted Thinking which he can communicate so efficiently that it looks like Te. It's the side of him that build The Wall.
"I'm kind of like a positive *cheerleading straightforward* person." Jodie Foster summing up the two words I use the most frequently to describe myself. Sometimes I don't feel like an INTJ.🤷♀️
This is a serious question: how accurate is the MBTI? I always test as INTJ and I see a lot of similarities, but I don't know if I can trust the MBTI to accurately describe my character traits.
Fair question. I always test INTJ - shade toward INTP -- and in academia, where we apparently thrive, I know several INTJs with my background (Ivy League, PhD, 1500 old scale GREs). BUt people are complex , there are other possible approaches. I just happen to admire Jung
You need to just be honest to yourself at think whether you really relate to the type description or not. Even then, the descriptions are quite general and sometimes not all of them apply to you.
The descriptions are very good. But I think that a personality exists on a spectrum, so there will definitely be similarities with other personality types.
I really really agree with the religion part. I cannot understand how someone can just follow something or some idea without questioning the already laid out rules and restrictions.
I'm catholic and I absolutely question everything about religion. To question something is not the same as disregarding something. In fact, disregarding something can be a sign of not questioning your own ideas related to that issue.
I used to think i’m ESFP/ISFP. But after watching more CS Joseph videos and yours about MBTI i came to the conclusion i might be an INTJ. Like i used to doubt it since i’m very artistic and dreamy but i’m certainly too socially awkward and i wouldn’t say uncaring but i do find it hard to empathize at times to be an ESFP. Like INTJ and ESFP share the same functions and they’re each others subconscious and can act like each other at times
Jodi Foster and Elon musk yes. Julia Styles, I can see it. The others I'm not so sure about. I also can see Richard Ayoade as INTJ. He just seems so introverted and authentic. Also Neil Peart strikes me as INTJ.
Indian INTJ here. I feel extreme frustration when trying to get even trivial things done through our government system here in India. I just can't believe their insufficiency. Like how long does it take you to forward a single file a day. It appears as these people have a habit of delaying the shortest time consuming tasks... Ughhh!!!
As an INTJ, I don't look down on people but rather see the potential of who they could be. If they aren't taking steps to fulfill their potential, then I get somewhat disappointed. But who I am to judge someone for who they can become.
It's weird when people said Elon is not an INTJ because out of all INTJ's famous person, he's the only one I felt connected or relatable with. I took this test around 4-5 years ago and been taking the same test every year just in case I've changed. But nope...always an INTJ.
There's a lot to be said for putting lampshades, cones, handbags, and seeing how many you can pile on your head, making hats from paper cups taped together to make a flower hat, ad nauseum, Jodie Foster. I'm an INTJ, and I have a facet of my personality that is very ludicrous, spontaneous, childlike and hilarious! I suppose I'm closest to Russell Crowe in this lot, I like a laugh and have a dry, sarcastic humour, but I have that persistence and grit of Arnie.
Laura Parra I am not sure about that. I am surrounded by intjs and istjs in my life. He reminds me a lot of intjs I know. But tnx for commenting. It is nice to hear somebody elses perspective:)
I feel like I’m a machine, a computer, and a robot. I observe at people and things. I study patterns. At a party, I go to parties and public places just to study people, life, behaviors, and society and carry out informal researches and studies. I’m always qualifying, quantifying, analyzing, tabulating, cross referencing, even emotions, and sex. I analyze my sexual experiences so deeply, from foreplay to orgasm. I feel like I have a mandate to know. I must know. I must understand the underlying principles of anything I come across and have interest in. People find me boring. Haha. To myself, I’m the most fun person on earth because I walk around taking note and predicting their demise. Haha. Who gets the last laugh now?
