INTJ: my childhood psych tests 

I could only imagine how I was seen as a kid. I would go unnoticed since I was quiet and did my work. No one would really what was going on with me cause I would never verbalize what was going on in my head

As an INTJ I had a tough childhood full of misunderstanding , bullying and bla bla bla and I'm pretty sure that my problem is common with other INTJs

As an INFj I find it interesting how you talk about stuff and how your Ni manifests when trying to conjure up and form coherent coherence (...whatever that is).When you INTJs talk, it is like a cloud with sharp edges.. When we talk it is a cloud with soft edges, less defined but both are still abstarctish and fluidy. About the last part of the video: Sometimes when writing sentences I just forget writing a word that is esential for the sentence to be whole.. But when writing the sentence, I feelt like I didn't make a mistake.. I only notice it when doublechecking what I wrote... I am like "dude, a word is missing.."

It seems 12-year old Lindsay had herself discovered the core of Stoicism...

This totally resonates with me. As a younger kid the adult really didn't know how to deal with me. I was considered one of the smartest students in school, but I was also considered very aloof and not great at communicating. I vexed many of my teachers by giving them the right answer, or what they considered a well thought out answer, but I couldn't be bothered to tell them how I got there.

I never got tested like this but all I remember being told is that as a really young child, I was noticeably more intelligent than the other kids. One funny story I only vaguely remember is that apparently in nursery I would go and get milk from the fridge myself instead of waiting for the staff to get milk for me. I wasn't stealing it to be clear, because I only took what I'd get, but I got it in my own time and on my own terms. A lot of what is described in this video is also very akin to my own experience. I think the main difference was I was actually good at spelling and sound systems but I think that's because I figured out ways of putting the sounds together and sort of constructing them. Once I understood the systems it became easy and I wouldn't even need to revise (I hardly ever revised, was just draining). But yeah, as a kid, I was also very much the more obedient kind of child but I'd get annoyed if my parents screwed up my plans with incompetence because then I'd have no control over the situation.

I did psych tests this year at 33 years old. By connecting the dots, I find it correspond well to my type too. Objective personality : MM-INTJ-Ni/Fi-SCBP Rational typology : INTJ subtype 2 Achiever (Solide Te Se, fluid Fi Ni, which match perfectly with my OP type Masculine Te Se, Feminine Fi Ni) My results are not totally signifiants because after a certain time, my processing speed and working memory have decreased, suspicions of disorders. (I suppose it correspond very well with Asperger, Sensory processing disorder, Se inferior) I was anxious this day (fear to spend money for no results), and stressed during timed tests. At the end of the tests, I was fed up, I didn't want to think, and find it boring, whereas I loved the first tests. XD I have great short term memory (I don't know where does it come from), knowledge in many areas (high Consume ?) Good with puzzle and patterns (correspond well with the ability of problem solving INTJ, and Asperger) Hypersensitive (both sensory and emotional), hyper-empathetic, impostor syndrome, justice and respect are very important for me. I was lucky the psychologist was INFJ and also gifted, I think she knew I was too, before I do the tests, and she know MBTI (which is not common in France). I told her :"I always have been very calm", she anshewer : "but inside it's boiling" "I don't know, I didn't really need anything" It's what I often said to my parents. I find theses tests very helpful and important in particular for Intuitives types.

Thank you for sharing. This was interesting and mind triggering. I love how you speak as a 3rd person of Little Lindsey. *edit: this is also showing how a session w/ you could look like if I bring a material for you. Hmmm...

How many times did I get told: you have to talk more! Get out of your head!

(ISTP) It's fascinating how there are different metrics to quantify and categorize the same human condition. Witnessing them overlap and cross connect is even more interesting. Very cool share.

INTJ and former Mensa member here. I wonder how close of a correlation there is between IQ and type. (I too scored highest on visual/spatial learning measures)

Interesting! I had/have a large vocabulary, but I scored high in spelling and grammar to the point that I wanted to be an editor, and I consider myself to have high Si.

As a kid, I was quiet and kept to myself. As a child, I kept to myself and loved taking things (radios, speakers, anything) apart. I've studied medical sciences, finance and now master of business law and am bored. I have been fired from every sales job and, most recently, this investor relations job where all I did was redo the same presentation over and over.... 73 times to be exact. I'm done.

Very interesting and relatable. Visual spatial acuity and awareness is also my strength. Language and vocabulary I also score high in, but I fall short in the same areas as yourself there. Memory leaves much to be desired 😅 Thank you for sharing 😊🙏

Had the same problem at school. Put in top set for everything, bored in maths , loved physics , hated English lit as we had Thomas Hardy (10 pages of description before plot) So had to remedial lit and found Nevil Shute who saved me. Now a cloud big data architect.

I found there are 22 types of memory, my location memory is poor, but speaking in different language fluency? Just how many? lol- entp me, i dont need anything- so stoic!! love this intj persona always❤

You look, sound and look exactly like how I would imagine an INTJ female.

I think you mentioned in a video once that your mom has lead Se, right? Would you be willing to make a video about what worked and what didn't in that scenario? I understand that you might not want to do that video due to the potential to offend your mom, but I think that video would be very helpful for me as a mother.

Cool video. Contemplating on why will we ever get into the unlimited ways to fail that life is offering us. But either way, we leave the NI to choose for us before starting anything. It decides often that what we will start doing will be a thing that is in our competency or not. Either way our NI can fail too. But speaking of, have you tried to throw your content into other ponds, like tik tok, IG with more of a summaries, more funny short clips?

10:00 This. I strongly dislike when I am directly reliant on another in a way that is unavoidable. And this can be something as small as a person who I know is a temporary hindrance and it should be fine. I would give a specific example but I generally don't like saying specific things I don't like publicly

How did you get professionally tested for MBTI? I did the self test as a teen and i was INTJ. Im 32 now and i wamna get it done. Ive done Cam Hogan for jobs and my "social ability" was low 🤣

Being a perfectionist and obeying your parents also make me think you're an Enneagram type 1.

What's this psych test called? I want one!

What made you take this test?

U seem more like an istj. I know an istj and she acts just like you.

Iam I an intj?

Prob today you'd prob get an adhd or spectrum. Inconsistent performance like you described/rushing, spelling ect. + high volcabulary. Women/girls esp smart ones get missed sometimes.

13:10 I was and still am a mumbler! Lmaoooo, I think it has to do mainly with my temperance though, I'm phlegmatic/melancholic

1:54 is more rational vs irrational and your would be the irrational or P lead

Good morning Lindsay, how is your face?

I always liked to make fun of these tests.

Idk, sending a child to get psych tests at an early age raises a brow for me. I'm not saying it is negative, and there are many explanations... but it just seems a bit odd. School placement tests allocated me in advanced classes and .1% levels etc. (humble brag), but I never was given a psych test; or at least my parents never pushed for it. Have you ever asked your parents why they had you take them? They clearly care and love you enough to try to understand you more, so don't take this as a slight.
