'I'm usually a pretty lazy person, so I usually eat things that I can heat up in 5-10 minutes, or sometimes I just don't eat at all because I can't be bothered to figure out what to eat and then...
I'll be spending it with my parents and four siblings. I'll be happy to spend the break with them, although I do wish the break were shorter--being at home makes me anxious after about a week or so.
I look for at least one of several criteria: -Interesting musical qualities-- harmony, melody, timbre, rhythm, etc. (I'm a musician myself) -Melody or lyrics that appeal to me emotionally. Music...
I have a friend that I work with pretty frequently who is ENFP. I like her quite well for the most part, although she's not the kind of person I could see myself developing a deeper kind of...
I generally prefer a neutral emotional state-- this is why I tend to come across as unemotional and even callous. But there are times when I experience emotions of such depth and intensity that it...
This. Please note: semicolons are only used to set off independent clauses. :wink:
Oh, I see how it is. :dry: Just kidding! lol-- it's still a good question, as far as it goes for us cold, socially inept INTJs. Only one person has ever been romantically attracted to me (to...
Kvothe Kingkiller from The Name of the Wind (a new-ish fantasy novel by Patrick Rothfuss that is ridiculously awesome). We share a lot of similarities, and I'm fairly sure he's an INTJ. He's...
I relate to people so rarely that I don't think I can really choose one or the other. I generally have difficulty relating to most people. In fact, I can count on one hand the number of people that...
I agree-- function theory seems to me to be a much more effective system than MBTI per se. I see MBTI tests as a springboard, a starting point. It's best if you do more research into the system, how...
The other night, I dreamed I was home from school, living with my parents, with no job and nothing to do. That was a nightmare. Also (probably since so many of the people I grew up with are in...
I've always felt different from other people. I was extremely awkward as a child. As a teenager, I was able to manage, and I had a handful of good friends that I felt like I could be myself...
I tend to be pretty clumsy when expressing appreciation, as well. Sometimes I'm overly formal, and the other person seems to feel like I'm only doing what I'm obligated to. Other times I worry that I...
Are you stricken with such an obsession that I am plagued with? How do you interact with those who show my traits? How do you balance interests? Yes, I tend to obsess over things. I'll spend...
Dagny Taggart (Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged) Kvothe (Patrick Rothfuss, The Name of the Wind) Mr. Darcy (Pride & Prejudice) Gandalf Possibly Dumbledore-- not sure if he's INTJ or INFJ
I never did understand why the US is so backwards as to insist on retaining the English measurement system. All it does is make it so that we have to do cumbersome conversions between US and metric,...
I can be sensitive sometimes. I appreciate constructive criticism, and I can take a well-grounded counterargument just fine. But I find personal attacks very hurtful or frustrating at times,...
This kind of attitude is precisely why I most likely won't change my name in the event of marriage. The expectation for a woman to change her name to her husband's is a vestige of an era in which a...
Nope. I don't own a single pair. :unsure: ETA: my screenname was actually a derogatory term for an intellectual female inthe 18th century. It has nothing to do with my sense of style, lol.
I'm usually at home, on my computer or reading. I frequently go for long walks at dusk. I can often be found in a practice room or at the library. Sometimes, when I have a need for solitude and can't...
When I decline an invitation to a large social gathering and the inviter asks, WHY??? and puts on a sad pouty face like I'm some sad, forlorn being. :angry:
I wear a lot of black. What isn't black is mostly brown or white. When I wear colors, they tend to be darker-- reds, purples, etc. I try to keep it classy, but comfortable and understated. When I am...
My beliefs are constantly evolving and morphing. I clicked atheist, because it seemed to fit best, but in retrospect I should have chosen agnostic or other. If I HAD to pick a label, I'd say...
I don't know what your situation is like, and I would never presume to pretend that I know what is best for you or how to solve your problems. That said, if you're anything like me, then I would try...
My mom is INFJ, and this describes her really well. It irritates me to no end. Mind you, she knows me quite well (being my mother and all), but it still pisses me off! lol In many things, my mom...
Spring: Spring is my least favorite season. In March and April I tend to be quite pensive and moody. I can force myself to be productive school-wise, but I'm not driven like I am in the fall. By...
My ENFJ roommate makes me laugh all the time. She gets ridiculously excited and hyper over pretty much anything, but especially things related to romance. I don't really date guys very much, and the...
I don't care much about celebrities. If I really, really like someone's work, I might Google them and read their Wikipedia page. I'm much more interested in historical figures, great writers and...
Same here. High five!!!:laughing:
World Civilization since 1500 (major) Writing and Research in History (major) Science of Light and Sound (generals) Piano Ensemble (minor) Library Research (elective/required to work in the...
Do you get good grades? Yes; I'm like Hermione Granger in that respect. I got my final grades back a couple weeks ago, and got five As, an A-, and a B. I was sad. But then, the B was in a stupid...
Yes, whenever my feelings get too strong, I try to get rid of them. When I'm feeling negative emotions, I always analyze them and ask, why am I feeling sad/depressed/angry/stressed/etc.? Oh, it's...
Are you different from typical INTJs? (by typical I mean scientific) I've never really gotten deeply into science, mostly because all the little details and intricate processes annoy me. I'm...
Nope, none here.
I've been called a nerd quite frequently. I also take it as a compliment. It's not an insult; it's a statement of fact. I am a nerd.
I wouldn't say I'm rebellious as much as I'm independent. I see other people's opinions (including those of authority) as simply irrelevant. When my ability to think and act as I see fit is impinged...
Personal ~ * Name - What do you preferred to be called? - Any nicknames? bluestocking or bluestocking girl-- I prefer to keep my RL name private * Male/Female/Trans? F Location - Where...
I've never taken an official IQ test, so I have no idea where mine is. I've had other people tell me things like you must have a high IQ, but that's not a great indicator, is it? :tongue: When...
Like someone else mentioned, everybody has elements of all personality types in them, and we act differently depending on the situation. I've gotten pretty good at pretending to be an extrovert when...
I cry occasionally, but only in private. I have cried in front of others a few times-- all family members-- and I HATED it. I hate feeling out of control of myself (which crying is). And it seldom...
I'm majoring in history because I'm headed for law school :laughing: How's that for active? lol
So I was wondering what types of things other INTJs major/minor in. For me, I'm currently a History major with a minor in Music, and I'm LOVING it-- I have plans to go to law school, but I've been...
-someone open and that shows their love by their actions-- doing things for me or spending time with me. Not overly sentimental or touchy-feely, because that makes me uncomfortable. I like to be able...
I thought of another one: When entering a new group of people, you calculate how you are going to behave based on how you want to be perceived.
You know you are an INTJ when . . . You are told that you take things too literally People get annoyed with you on Facebook Chat when your response is longer than two lines You dislike group...
I feel the same way! I quickly get bored with small talk and gossip. I don't CARE who so-and-so's new boyfriend is. I like girls fine, but I don't really connect with most girls very well. I tend...'
