What People REALLY think about INTJ Personalities 

So true. I went to a concert and I loved it, but was asked why I wasn't having a good time.

Or they ask “Are you good? You look mad”

My bro who's an INTJ always has a poker face, looks like he was seeing inside ya soul.

As an intp, I can confirm I sound harsh without meaning to. Always offending people with my words.

How I think I look: 😁 How people say I look: You are intimidating and disagreeable. 😁

infj+intj mix here, people hates me because i take out the hidden agenda they are planning in each action they does XD

Honestly same.

Time and energy wasted on explaining myself to others should be used for betterment of myself. Much more to learn there is.

Bro assumes that he's efficient and intellectual after some random youtube video says that he is 😂

Hard to answer that, but thank for sharing this!

Use your brain.

It's because you guys tend not to follow social norms and tend to be too assertive and focused on yourself. That's the main reasons I noticed.

Presumably, your an INTJ? If so, maybe these are 2 reasons: I will add a few more later if you are a INTJ number 1 on the list: you are not shy or timid about telling the brutal undiluted truth. That is something I've found in myself that intimidates pretty much everyone who is not a part of my inner circle of friends. They think they are always the target of brutal honest truth when I talk to them even if what I said doesn't necessarily apply to themand seem to feel like I am attacking them personally. As far as that goes, all I say to that is "if the shoe fits, wear it" Number 2: you likely use sarcastic comments to call out crap, mock people who are stupid or foolish, or whatever the case may be, but at the same time you have a good sense of humor, but it is sarcastic as well I have said things sarcastically in different contexts many times while keeping a poker face attempting to be lighthearted or easygoing in my way, and then afterwards found from a mutual friend that they thought I was dead serious and that I was unbelievably rude, cold-hearted, and callus! My friend told me when we were discussing the matter that when we first met and started doing things together, he was often blown away and shocked by things I'd say until he learned to look for the underlying meaning of what I said; only then did he find my sarcasm, jokes, and comments to be humorous like I intended. Another point that I could elaborate on that is a huge factor there is "arguing" properly termed "debating" if it comes from a INTJ, OR INTP but I'll cut this short for now.

More please!

I recently realised how much I obsses over the smaller things, I really hate it and catch myself doing it way more than I should. Also the self isolation is so true, we already have limited energy couldn't be bothered with people anymore

Alright!

Bro this is so true

Yes, I can relate to that with my friends! I'm not insecure in my beliefs or opinions, so what others think of me usually don't bother me at all. I had a older brother that always had a big insincere cheezy smile everywhere he went; some people said that I was apparently "always pizzed off about something, and that he looked like he was grinning about whatever I was upset about" LOL! I was never mad as they thought, I was just absorbed in my own thoughts.

I'm an intj and I like to look at it as showing my strengths and weaknesses. So I make an effort to restain these natural impulses that people find off-putting, while still staying rational and convicted.

Interesting comment!

I knew it you're an INFP after reading just a first few sentences! 😄 Us INFPs love our INTJs 😊❤ A hug to you my INFP friend 🤗

It is very true that I only go out of my way to spend time with someone if I genuinely like them or attracted to them. I value my privacy and personal time very highly and will only spend my personal time with someone I really like. I live alone and prefer the quiet of my own house in the country most of the time.

are you infj? lol

😂 while I can relate to that with my best friend who is an INTP, I realize that I have my faults and am not blind to them, so if he will overlook mine, I will definitely overlook his. I think we both think that of each other, so we get along very well! I think he is the only one alive who knows "the real me" or at any rate he is the only person who I dare to be myself around.

😂😂😂 Sadly true…

:)

Of course "we'll try" :)

@@lonelygamer8836 😂😂😂

Indeed!

Stuff em. We are what we are. The wimps get nothing done. Without the movers and shakers, the sookynanas would still be living in caves.

Oh… intj and high eq here….

I just tell them that I cant be arrogant because arrogance means "having or revealing an exaggerated sense of one's own importance or abilities." and I don't exaggerate. 😉

@@jimmywoolever798 lol. I think the real reason it happens with me is I say something sarcastically with a straight face and they never realized I was joking. [Edit, a friend of mine told me one time that if he didn't know me very well that he would think that I was serious when I made dry sarcastic comments, and that at first he thought I was trying to be offensive. ]

@@jimmywoolever798 another reason I think that some say I am arrogant is because when anyone tries to flatter me, my standard answer is "Yes, I am wonderful!🙃" Many people have thought I was speaking seriously

H8rs are going to h8.

It can!

life is fun because everything is fucked :P

🙂🙂

Omg, same problem with the ESFJs. I call them the "mean girls club". From, an INTJ female.

Yes. I went to frank someone, was told I was too subjective and blocked me.

Thanks for sharing!

Great personality type!

@Kapoy If you are referencing INTJ-A and INTJ-T by the 16personalities... I have bad news for you...

@Kapoy Yes I have the same experience as you. I'm an INTJ-A and 2 of my coworkers are INTJ-T. True enough like you said I act more like an ENTJ (better Te and Se) versus those two INTJ-T who are more reserved. I don't dispute the Assertive vs Turbulent idea perse but its just that I refuse to use it as part of the 16 personalities. Reason being the theory about mbti (or cognitive functions) is that its supposed to be your personality since birth and it does not change by the environment and transformations in your life (developing cognitive functions are different from the base personality and can be affected by the environment but your orignal personality stays the same). Now the turbulent and assertive are actually you can say maturity levels such that if you gather enough experience you can become assertive from turbulent in the future and vice versa. That's why you can say you are an INFP-T now and then 10 years has passed and you have become INFP-A. That's why I don't like the A vs T attribute as its changeable according to your current state in life (young, old, rich, poor, etc) and doesn't define your personality but instead you define it according to your current mood in the present. I hope that make sense, I usually lost people with a lot of words.

Why do you think is that?

I was told to be a "mind floating". But they do not know I have been thinking so many things.

;)

friends are dumb, they dont plan, they just wing it, They are loud mouth, they make the same mistakes again and again.

Sensors do thing about the future as well!

😐

😐

Why?

@@PsychologyRefresh to me they seem so smart and serious at so many times 😅

Lol I’m an INTJ Taurus sun, Scorpio moon. Literally a tempest in a teacup unless I’m actively moderating myself

It's our death stare.

intimidation is a tool which we use to shoo away people who we think might cause distraction from what we are currently doing. Also nobody wants to be a jerk, but if we put a good face on, people take that privilege for granted, I would rather loose a person than loose a fantastic idea

I often am told I'm abrasive.

There will be other types as well!

We watch a lot of INTJ videos, so it makes sense to cater to the audience. The ESFP's probably watch the fewest videos, so it wouldn't make a lot of sense to make a lot of videos on that personality type.
