INTJ Personality: How to Change the World (with resourcefulness and rebellion!) 

Dude, are your INTJ?

I’m working on making my bed in the morning.

Also valid. :D

Making healthy living easier and more affordable/accessible to the population in an easy to use manner to steer humans in a better direction. Making the earth and everyone's lives better/easier/healthier passively. Because I believe humans and the lazy consumer are more prone to make good decisions if there is personal gain and benefits with ease of use. Trying to make healthy living and good decisions add up and build a good passive income foundation making Everyone's lives easier/healthier and benefit the planet and all living things in the long run. Or i'm just trying to take over the world.

Amber Melanie Smith Thanks for sharing. nice video and great to finally see someone align INTJ personality type with good causes especially focused on empowering people to help themselves.

Makes total sense!

In fact, I've read on a website that it is the complete opposite, being Introverted Thinkers makes them Extroverted Feelers, and they tend to be the most excitable of all! There are many different things that will get an INTJ extremely passionate and excited, a successful plan that works out, getting hired for that job they wanted, etc... The least excitable people and therefore least emotional people are actually ISTJ. They are all the way at the bottom, and are focused on intellectual mastery. Administrator ISTJ, is extremely focused, and from personal experience, almost never loses their temper, and I have never once seen her cry. They can typically handle almost anything in life, and nothing seems to really phase an ISTJ, from a large dog barking right in her ear from 1 inch away, etc... On the other hand, INTJs can usually be found ranting vehemently against some wrong they have witnessed, and can always be found helping out other people (deep empathy). My female INTJ friend works well with children at a daycare center, and is a mother/wife with children, so she is very high on emotional investment in her life.

This is what actually confuses people the most, that ISTJ and INTJ are only 1 letter different, and yet, act completely different. INTP is closer to INTJ, and INFJ is the closest to INTJ of all, because of how the functions work, ISTJs and ISTPs are so far removed from emotion...

Perfect explanations! You have managed to sum up something I have been misinterpreted about on so many occasions.

Think an intj is after truth. Humble and meek.

I don't know that not liking authority is just a guy thing! I don't like authority either, ha ha. I'm an ENFJ though.

I am also an INTJ, and as such, am absolutely anti-Religion. Do you feel the same? I find myself arguing with supposed INTJs, telling them they CAN'T be IN TJs because there's no logic to religion, that all religions were created to control people thru fear. All religious people are followers...

@@suncrystalLove yes I agree but from what I've learnt, most religions start genuine, many have started from humans unintentially tripping on a drug and mistaking the experience for a higher power. I think the religions in many cases are then converted to institutions to control it's followers, e.g. Catholicism, or Islamism in the middle ages

Awesome. What do you do / want to do?

Amber Melanie Smith Conquer it!!! Just kidding. - With the way my life is going. I feel very blessed. I’ve dealt with some pretty devastating life events. I now know how I was able to come back from the ashes. Success is in our blood. Stay safe and thanks for the note.

Fiction + grantwriting - what a great combo! :)

Glad to hear there's an INTJ fiction writer out there! I'm an aspiring writer and because of the society's emphasis on intjs being robotically logical, I'm always worried that my emotions aren't enough for writing fiction (although I know I have a lot of emotions).

That's how it goes eh? But, everyone makes an impact in their own way - that's why I wanted to highlight different personality types and how they change the world. Keep the fire!

That's a positive way to look at it!

Or, you're an INFJ/ENFJ/ISFJ who just loves everyone...

Better yet. When you realize that every common saying you've heard that gets passed around like it's ultimate wisdom (you always ought to worry about the solidity of something that the fake news will use), such as "He who forgets history, is DOOMED to repeat it" and that you can rather easily deflate such things. Sure, they can be good outlooks for a very surface level observation, but to believe it like dogma? Pfft. I sometimes think that what passes for wisdom with a lot of people, is simply that somebody once said it, and it's popular, so it's got to be true and unshakeable. In a way, I think we may be saying the same thing, only I've elaborated more. I think we're both saying is "Most things aren't what they first seem", or "Surface level is frequently deceptive".

*you're (Agree) - by an INTJ

Yes, they are

:D

As an ENFJ :) my thought would be to try to understand what is at the core of the other person's response and beliefs. We are all very complex as humans and carry with us so many influences on our lives and upbringing as we move through the world. I truly believe everyone at their core just wants to belong, be loved, connect, and play a meaningful role in their community. And, that that desire can explain a lot of peoples' behaviors - from being individualistic to wanting to conform, even to believing in misinformation.

​@@AmberMelanieSmith Oh hey, my older sister is an ENFJ too and she's one of my favorite people precisely because of that optimism that you just expressed. I actually agree with you on that because I'm eternally optimistic too, but I'm also realistic. A good metaphor would be like if you had a friend whose boyfriend was physically abusive and constantly cheating on them and you provided concrete and objective proof of this but your well intentioned friend continued to stay in the relationship because of their feelings towards the other person. Is your friend a bad person? Nope. Do you wish she would be open to having her mind changed and wish she would see the bigger picture and take your advice? Yes. Both things can be simultaneously true. If you're the friend who sees the truth but is constantly ignored and even resented for your advice, then eventually you stop giving advice and just mind your own business because you already know how everything will play out.

Wow, thank you!

Yay!

Nice! What's your book about (other than changing the world :))?

Makes sense!

Nice to feel validated, ha ha!

There you go!

Awesome! Thank you :)

That makes sense. It's definitely a hard lesson to learn!

Yay!

Nice! Yes! I believe all personality types can make an impact in the world with their unique talents - so I thought it would be interesting to take a look at how!

Yay! Glad it was helpful!

Glad it was helpful!

That sounds like a great combo!

:D

Ha ha, I got you. I'm an ENFJ but I hate bureaucracy and rules blocking the path to making an impact faster!

Awesome! Do you have other INTJs on your team?

Thanks :)

You're welcome! Hope it helps!

😮 😎

I assume you agree with the results? :)

@@AmberMelanieSmith yes, I do 100%

As long as you're doing what you love :)

:D

Great perspective!

Yeah, I might have gotten a verbal reprimand for writing a detailed email to an exec higher up the chain about how the book they suggested we read and the organization they created weren't aligned. Hey, I had all the facts, diagrams, and a well laid out solution; even had it reviewed by some well respected peers. Wasn't my fault they didn't understand the book. They passed it out. I just read it. 🤷‍♂️😂

Yes! I am an ENFJ personally but the social impact world called to me for sure.

Glad you liked it!

Awesome! How did you get interested in that?

@@AmberMelanieSmith I think I was inclined towards environment since childhood...I used to love these subjects in school...And since there are so many people who don't have resources , I think wastage of any kind should be avoided...I don't take part in any NGO work right now because I don't have much time...but I do donate to local ngos and do my part. So yeah that's my view :)

:)

That's a really good approach, then you can figure out how to help based on what you learned!

MINIPRO27 don’t worry buddy your third eye will let you know

Limitless resources would solve a lot of problems... :)

Batman. Awesome. 😍

Thanks for sharing, Andrew!

Cool! ENFJ here :)

Changing the world is definitely complicated and a long-term thing! Looking at ways to change the world based on Myers Briggs personality types is just an exercise for fun and because I found it interesting. :)

Hope it was helpful :)

@@AmberMelanieSmith yes your work and videos are great. INTJ and autism and ADHD, the anhedonia and lack of emotion is a physical coping mechanism of the body, the ASD can also be a super power and observational awareness and understanding and empathy. Loneliness and isolation, work from home is a coping mechanism. My personal journey has been a struggle and steep learning curve and often fraught with analysis paralysis

Awesome!

It's a myers briggs personality type! You can take an online assessment to figure out what your "type" is.

Could you try one and research the other to see what you like best?

Lots of musicians have changed the world!

Maybe because in a weird way villains are rebels and people are attracted to rebels? 🤓

@@AmberMelanieSmith I think it's not my case xdxd but thanks for answering

For sure! Humans are really complex overall. :) No one personality type can sum up any human completely. It's fun to explore them though.

@@AmberMelanieSmith way to not answer the question. Way to annoy an intj: ignore their question and hope they won't notice.

But it wouldn't matter bc you may be vastly different than me, just for one example( and you know the BASICS/main traits which are the quintessential INTJ ARE BORING SO YOU ARE LIKELY here in search of deeper niche qualities we have, except the further we go in that direction the more likely we are to not meet parameters or stand in agreement of these things..bc variables are all over the place ) I'm an athlete and love sports which isn't typical according to most information- but occurs perhaps in response to how I was raised(1 possible reason) so then let's say she meets me and learns all about tge less typically intj traits i have (clarified- its stupid hard to get me to actually be in a scenario to play anything at all... bc id rather be doing the things which ARE VERY quintessential Intj LIKE RESEARCHING ETC. ** this is dead honest full truth, and worth mentioning for context **)what should she / what do you expect she do with this info? Exactly nothing ito further defining intj with greater accuracy. If she meets 1000 my argument stands. The only value is awareness of intricacies so maybe a claim such as, "this intj possess this while over here this intj has this thingy", so now we have more depth but actually lose similarities . So I'm not saying it's best this way but I definitely am not saying I your point is valid. It's not, - bc you want personal assets described or or you deem invalid while I say her research on us ,of broad ranging enough, will provide sufficient arguments as a lack of bias is present. Not being smarmy just wondering why you would not see that angle.

@@SuperSpecies tldr- she's correct. Her answer is as accurate as pi. To rewrite ito numbers to decimal places is less precise than short sweet pi. So I hope this angle squares up any confusion

:D

:D

😎

Ha ha

Would that be the worst?

Welcome

@@AmberMelanieSmith ;)

I'm sure there are different types of people within each group. :)

I agree with you but i belive that it is because we want the freedom that wealth is supposed to give us. Complete freedom i mean to not depend of anybody

🙂

I don’t know how many hours of volunteer work, it would be better measured in years.

😮

I think INTJs (and any personality type) can be kind and help others! Are you an INTJ?

@@AmberMelanieSmith Yes I am, I found that I wont do anything for somebody unless its really benefit me ~
