Analysts INTJ

Imaginative and strategic thinkers, with a plan for everything

'Clickbait thread titles and David Wolfe in the psychology section of the forum....it begins.

My guess is, not really. I'm typically respectful, so people tend to not hate me, but they find me hard to relate to and think there's something a bit off about me because they don't understand me...

The Wire. Several times.

Don't worry about it, if you'd have to go out of your way. Thanks, though. Mostly I'm just hoping there's someone on here who has a pretty good understanding and mental framework of the topic so that...

Has anyone here studied sociology? I'm learning about Erving Goffman's theory of dramaturgy in The Presentation of Self in Everyday Life for an essay (relating the concepts to online interaction)...

Interest groups for sure. Common ground and mutuality is the way to go. I have several different social circles of friends for each social interest I have, music, gaming, martial arts, studying...

The term 'holding a grudge' implies actively thinking about it, which is a bit much.... but otherwise, I'd easily say yes, to be honest. I discriminate against people over how they've behaved around...

Gi. I do have my elements of Ge, but along the spectrum, I would be closest to Gi. Maybe an amalgamation somewhere between Sonny from A Bronx Tale, Silvio Dante from The Sopranos, and Slim...

If we're talking about intimate relationships, then yes, of course. It helps to better understand the social dynamics of your situation if you explain the context of how you're feeling, what you're...

Any ENFPs here who were raised in collectivist (more-so than individualistic) cultures?

Live-streaming the 'Chillhop Music' youtube channel for instrumentals to study to. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OpIQNxiKJoE

Reading up altruism in a chapter about social psychology in one of my psych textbooks lately. Overall, these findings [J.G. Miller & Bersoff 1998, J.G. Miller, Bersoff & Harwood 1990, D.T. Miller...

Gotta be Andy McKee's 'Rylynn' for me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JsD6uEZsIsU Could give honorable mentions to a couple different pieces by Nujabes, but the non-stop expanding of the...

I expect she's right, to a degree. Be careful with self-fulfilling prophecies. It's easy for pessimism to turn into defeatism in situations and create bad results unnecessarily.

Honestly, I would stop trying to find a grand reason or purpose. I believe perceptions should be a factor in your judgments (decisions based on acknowledgments), but judgments should never be a...

My inclination towards organic food (and even towards non-GMO food) isn't based so much in science as it is based in distrust of the ethics of large corporations like Monsanto. I know GMO technology...

Any ENFPs here have experience with polyamorous relationships? If so, how did you find it?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QS6E0hu52Rk Lmao ffs

I can flirt very well with people who like me back, as in a mutual, back-and-forward interaction of exchanges. I suck at flirting with people I don't know, though. The occasional gaze a little longer...

There's a pretty amazing ENFP in my life. I don't know why I felt like other ENFPs would appreciate knowing this, but it seemed plausible in my head.

Him also being an asshole doesn't stop me from agreeing with him, to be honest. A lot of INTJs are assholes. Go hang out on INTJ forum and wait for the toxic attitudes to set in. It's considerably...

Please change my username to 'Wartime Consigliere'. Many thanks in advance.

I know it's vain to proclaim this about ourselves...but I'm curious. Are there very many INTJs here who are considered by their peers (as far as you can tell), to be charismatic and/or charming?

I think there's a simple realization that you have to accept: There are some really stupid INTJs out there. I'm not necessarily saying those attitudes towards specific issues are stupid...

C'mon everyone. I see a distinct lack of memes on this meme thread lately. https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcREb9hRcYAZ6mK4N44YAg_eOylm2lcDmc3xmnICZQhawFKailg-

I'm arguably more art orientated than science orientated, but I'm still very science orientated and am looking for a career in STEM (something relating to cognitive psychology and social psychology...

Man there are some seriously defeatist sounding threads in here sometimes. C'mon man. To answer your question, of course INFJs males are some people's first choices. Quite a lot, actually. That's...

Maybe Se isn't the cause, but there's probably a correlation to be made with Se being inferior and slower development of the skills associated with trades like carpentry. It's stereotyped for Ns in...

I'm not really surprised at all to find disagreement. Many people seem adamant that Itachi too, is an INFJ. Without trying to derail the thread too much into semantics of typing accuracy, I think...

As I see it, Itachi Uchiha (Naruto), Lelouch vi Britannia (Code Geaass), Wyman Manderly & Doran Martell (Game of Thrones), Andy Dufresne (Shawshank Redemption) and maybe Lester Freamon (The Wire) all...

Are dichotomies more scientifically valid than cognitive functions?

The Wire. Easily the best show I've seen so far in my opinion. The writing is genius and the setting is incredibly gritty and realistic. I'd rate it above Breaking Bad and The Sopranos, both of which...

If you ever do try it, be sure to design your environment very carefully in terms of eliminating any pressures or responsibilities you might feel, the people you have around you etc. You'll need...

Anyone else tried DMT? I'd be curious about comparing experiences with other INTJs. PM if it's too personal/anyone can be bothered.

Just gonna leave this here for future reference.

I'll drink to that.  http://cdn.styleforum.net/f/fb/350x700px-LL-fbb57fc0_Obamathumbsup.jpeg

You should put a bottle of water next to your bed. You might need it when you're hungover. 'cause fuck moving when you're hungover.

This morning, actually. It caught me really off-guard. I was coming to grips with the fact that I'm moving away shortly and how many people I won't be able to see anymore. To some level, I sort of...

I got accepted to start a Bachelor of Science degree next year majoring in Psychology. Any advice? Also, any links to good psych resources would be appreciated. I'm kind of oblivious to what...

My competitive nature makes me inclined to ask them questions and try to learn from them. Growth-focused mindstate. I think having other people around who are smarter than myself is a goddamn...

Check out this teacher's funeral tribute by a boys high school here in New Zealand. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M6Qtc_zlGhc I love atmosphere and crowd energy. At the very least, there's...

The purpose of life is a life with a purpose, So I'd rather die for a cause, than live a life that is worthless

Probably weird as hell. Special, maybe. I think I did have a reputation for being smart/nerdy though, among whatever else kids were saying about me at the time. Quite possibly 'book-smart'...

Brilliant as they may be, an intelligent person who is excessively selfish is still a piece of shit. Just look at politicians, Wall Street bankers, the military-industrial complex and cult leaders...

Autonomy to all.

I voted agree, even though I acknowledge full is an exaggeration.

Some more context would help our ability to answer the question... but I'll give it a shot: Don't over-express your curiosity by filling in silences without first checking the cues. Probe his/her...'
