I graduated high school in 1970. My oldest son turned 46 the day you made this video. I can so relate to what you said. I tend to be more physical with my wife, but she is an ESTP and what can I say? Other than that I am right in sync with how you describe INTJs. I only wish they had online classes when I was younger. No people and learning. It hardly gets any better than that. 🙂 I have gone through the poor student/excellent student thing as well. When I an INTJ wants it, he gets it. Best of luck!
The point you make about free time at 7:57 is so true. If I've set my mind toward a goal, every bit of energy I have left over from normal responsibilities is happily directed toward the realization of that goal.
When you get too stressed too many months in a row the "do my comfort thing and ignore the problem" starts happening before "fix the problem" and then you reaaaaallllyyy have a problem.
When I'm stressed I try to just push through until it's done, which at times can go for a very long time. I've discovered that I have an incredible amount of endurance when I need it. I can go for months or years if need be with little time off, although there is a trade off as once I'm through the stress I then crash. Like for days or weeks crash. It's almost easier for me to just keep going. From someone who took 7 years, 4 states, and 4 different colleges to graduate (& 4 different majors), I'm all for taking time off to find what you want to do. Otherwise you're just wasting your time. Once I got focused my GPA shot up as well, but I feel as though that my time was wasted. Now I prefer learning things on my own as things catch my interest. I can learn much faster on my own now.
As an INTJ female, I can say that if my stress is under a manageable threshold, then additional stressors are dealt with swiftly. Example (animal trigger warning): While working at a vet hospital, I would spring into action when a "hit-by-car" would come in unexpectedly. But once I am alone in the car driving home from work or am at home, I remember the poor animal and I start crying, and I start thinking how terrible it is that innocent things suffer. Then I resolve to be the best person I can to alleviate suffering in the world. Enter "stress headaches."
What happened to me ast year : The hot water tank leaked, I went back and forth with container and seal, between the water heater and the bathroom to empty the water. Contacted the rental agency, which probably contacted the owner and companies, to replace the water heater. It took 1 month, 1 month without hot water, fortunately at this time it was summer. At beginning it stressed me, and make me nervous internally. This period was strange, this situation made me laugh, I thought it was funny. I was calm, I told myself that there is worse in life. After a breakup, depression, anxiety, many situations to resolve, after all the things happened in life... What can be worse ? XD I knew an INFJ, last year at a temporary job, she told me about one of her disasters, laughing. We laugh of the catastrophes happen to us... weird ? I don't know. Maybe the best reaction to have. Same as you : My free time is most often dedicated to a goal, work and plan on something. During a period I play much video games, I didn't know what to do in life. How I see it : When a problem, an inconsistency, something wrong happen or is here (Ni) it's stay in mind, (Ni stock/keep it in memory) (Ni keep what is essential and tend to reject what is not good, not true and not useful) (Ni happy with the essential) until this is resolved (Te : Get things done/resolve) If it's not resolved it can cause us stress. It's important for us to stay who we are, calm, patient, take action, do what it's possible for us to do, be aware we can't control everything, every chaotic/random things in life. And during this time we can be in our tunnel vision, to analyse, plan, process. I understand why we call INTJ the problem solver : Ni-Te. It's how we function. Somewhere maybe we see the life as everything is a problem to solve, or a goal we want to reach/done. Thanks again for the sharing, very helpful content.
These vlog type videos are fine. I only watch them for the content anyway. But if you have time to make it pretty and well edited et cetera, that's always appreciated. My point is that even though well edited videos are nice, these vlog type videos are fine because they still teach me more about my type and that is all I really care about. ~Just another INTJ
Thank you! I must admit I'm no expert on enneagram sadly. I've taken the paid official enneagram and scored as 5w4 myself. 5w4 INTJ is a pretty common combo if memory serves me right, 5w6 being a little more common.
no worries! I do have a few other suggestions that you might be able to make a video about. 1. how western astrology may have some influences on the Intjs ( your thoughts whether or not may play some role) 2. Intjs thoughts on religion and traditions 3. how an intj may interact with-in the workplaces (people, work and etc)
Yes to online learning! I will contrast the awareness of stuff, like the water shutoff to my experience as a mom. When the maternal instinct kicks in, as in my personal experience, I was much more aware. Good for raising kids! 😉 😂 So enjoy the relatable videos even when I can’t it two years later. 👍🏼
I find a lot of commonalities. Prioritizing and directionalizing free time. When I decide to do something, that becomes my world. And I have fun in the process of it because the process is in the direction of my imminent goal. I would like to see more on what books interest you and why. I would also like an analysis/insight on the idea or concept of money because that is my current life mini-crisis at the moment. I'm a full time student and abhor the thought of asking anyone for direct help.
Can you please make a video about intj and entp and how they work together because I heard they are the best combination for business or personal growth
hello Cris, I notice you move excessively in this (old) video. I am an INTJ as well and I got criticized on a job interview that I move excessively and I believe I just need to fix this. Could you please give some tips on how to deal with this because you improved in this in your newer videos? I noticed that when I focus on being too static, I just cannot think clearly about what I want to say and it feels unnatural. But the fun fact is that it probably looks more natural when I am not moving, and it looks unnatural when I am naturally moving.
I can't eat at all when I am stressed. And It's true that Intj's wants physical comfort when in stress. Can you make a video how to exit from that comfort zone that extraverted sensing demands? I am really in that zone for a long time. My peers are doing great while I am just kind of procrastinating with my life. I don't even feel that fire inside me anymore. I don't want to leave my room or talk to anyone. I am wondering is it depression or something else. Because apparently I keep myself distracted and suffer with guilt. I was the brightest and now I don't even know where I am.
I was the same but I found that I want to make games. I still procrastinate alot in the middle of trying to achieve it but when deadlines and pressure comes into play, I somehow find the reason to force myself to action. So my advice would probabbly to find something you want to achieve, and make that something put you under pressure so you are forced to go out of comfort or fail at it. Of course, a healthy amount of pressure. Though I understand that finding that goal is more of the hard part.
Celebrity_rooster Not a bad observation. The thing that would most likely cause this judgement is the fact that my form of communication and expression of thought is through Te. The persona expressed on camera is essentially the articulation of already formed thoughts and insights, therefore not really requiring any immediate use of Ni based perceptions. Thanks for watching.
Hes too movement hes intj. Entjs are control and slower paced. Intjs are direct responding movement. For example hes moving and fidgeting all through out this video so yeah
