'No, because being able to make love to my mind is a prerequisite to make love to my body. Therefore, I guess I am incapable of having one night stands.
From my experience I've known that I lacked the social skills my peers did when I was a teenager, and I was determined to change that. Such is the case when I was doing my 'A'-Levels in the UK I...
I don't like writing by itself. From my marketing background, I like writing as a challenge as a test that I can deliver my message/points clearly across to my target audience. Many people don't...
I think Heidi Priebe sums it up well.
The most important six inches on the battlefield is between your ears. - General James Mattis USMC
What is the one advice on life you'll give to your fellow INTJ? Mine would be: Don't decide on something based only on one good reason. The more profound your decision is in life, the more...
OP: A few pointers that maybe able to assist you in your quest: 1. Identify your critical values (For what I mean values that you will not compromise in any way). In my opinion, no relationship...
INTJs are generally not interested in surface level relationships. We strive for something deeper, more meaningful. I would like to offer you some insight on what worked for me. In every kind...
There are two answers to your questions. Personal social situation: Never quite managed to get there. And don't feel a need to really. Professional social situation: When I started working. ...
I think in general, INTJs have a significantly older mental age than most other types. When people guesstimate your age based on mental attributes, inevitably they will think you're older than your...
I came across this image in the web: 485418 Which made me wonder about INTJ-INTJ relationships. Anyone who experienced this would like to share their views?
I have not been accused of lying, but instead withholding my thoughts/ideas/feelings .. etc because I want to avoid any trouble being too direct to other people, especially someone senior to me. And...
This probably could well be your first big test on how to best use your INTJ abilities in an interpersonal setting. INTJs are strategist. In younger life (like where you're at now), we create...
Audur, at any point in time, if you're feeling suicidal, you should contact the local Samaritan hotline or any organization that could listen to your problems, and offer you assistance. I have...
Thank you kindly nikisan. You can count on me when that day comes, I'll let you know without delay. In the meantime, we should all cherish with all we've been blessed with and make the best out...
No need to be ashamed of anything nikisan, no need at all. Love with a pure heart is a beautiful thing, a thing that you should be proud of. Good luck and all the best in the future, wish you...
Yes, very much so as I don't like to squander my energy and time on someone I don't see having a future, whether friendship or relationship. Besides, for me it is a severe form of torture that I...
As a middle age INTJ I never experience such a hobby of over consumption. I never had an urge to buy something impulsively, since my youth until now I have treated spending money as a test on...
I found that the major obstacle during my work life is that I am a better strategist than tactician, the latter more appealing to people as it is shorter term and results are more readily noticeable....
Through A Glass Darkly - General George S. Patton Jr. Perhaps I stabbed our Savior In His sacred helpless side. Yet I've called His name in blessing When in after times I died. Through the...
Great thoughts from smart people don't necessarily impact your life more than their more average joe thoughts. Ask people around you, how Einstein's mass-energy equivalence formula (E=mc2)...
Quite a few sites have classified President Eisenhower as an INTJ. I think most would agree he is not dumb. TV Dinner, from today's standard would definitely be considered a dumb food. ...
No. If that's the case, people would pretend to be INFJs as they are rarer. I can't speak for others but I know I was different and out of place when I was young but didn't really understand why....
Again thank you for your response. Let's take a look at the reports for the Greater Vancouver real estate from the Canadian Housing and Mortgage Corporation, the Credit Union and the British...
You said people wrote hurtful things to you. What would a family of non-white Americans think of what you wrote? They aren't 100% American? What would a non-white INTJ think of what you wrote? ...
Thanks for the post again and the tips ... I am just too old to begin with another investment strategy now ... But I am sure fellow INTJs here can have some new ideas on the subject matter. IMHO...
Thank you for your response. Many experts opined that the Greater Vancouver real estate market is subject to a price slump over the past five years. It didn't happen. Since you've put in so much...
Canada is a large country but most of it's population is concentrated in three metropolitan areas: Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver. Do you know what % of Canadian population resided in these three...
I do not claim I have knowledge of whole of the properties market in Canada. But I do know in Vancouver it is not falling, so if you say ALL OF CANADA the price is falling, please let me know if...
Excellent post indeed. I have almost zero knowledge on stocks and funds. But I appreciate you post so our fellow INTJs could have a wider spectrum of choice in terms of investment. Thank you! ...
I beg to differ. Which part of Canada are you referring to? Fort McMurray? Calgary? Edmonton? Alberta may be affected by the dropping of oil prices but in Vancouver, that's another story.
Please don't misunderstand I am some properties big shot or something, which I am NOT. To answer your question, I have 3 units each in the three places I've mentioned. And, I only manage the...
Appreciate the feedback from your perspectives. And I admire you can do what you choose to. For me, financial freedom does not necessarily mean that I go buy this or do that, it means I can have...
Sorry I missed your post earlier. Sounded like you have a solid plan on hand. I would just want to give you a bit of advice: 1. Do diversify. Don't just invest locally, but local, I consider...
You may not believe it but I truly believe that your military service will provide you with one formidable tool to achieve financial freedom, which is self discipline. Good luck and all the best!
What is your age range? When you do stocks and funds, do you go high/moderate/low risk? Perhaps a huge factor for me not going into stocks and funds was the Asian Financial crisis back in 1997 (I...
Trust me, as long as you have this it's to late to ..... thought, you are way ahead of many people. Don't feel odd having that thought, for us INTJs time is the most precious commodity.
Jobs are prerequisite of a career. You are still young and should invest some time in exploring different career paths. Hate to sound repetitive, but I guess the three general financial goals...
I can only speak for myself. The two condensed advice I could give you are: 1. What you excel at as an occupation is not necessarily related to what you're interested in. 2. Use your INTJ...
IMHO, you are definitely on the right track beginning with this statement. If you explain your circumstances a bit in depth, I am sure your fellow INTJs will be able to give you some advice on...
I trust that you're in good hands with our many fashion experts in this INTJ forum! Good luck!
Thank you for the recommendation. I'll try to read the PDF once I have some time to do so.
Much appreciated for the feedback from your perspective. I guess that's why I am still waiting for my hell-bent ENFP. 432306
This I remember from my younger days (keep in mind, this was the mid 90s). Usually when that happens, conflicting thoughts came to mind: Ego: Yay! You know how to pick a great catch! ...
I think this report says a lot of what I think.
Thank you all for your responses. I created this thread with the aim to provide fellow INTJs on their insights and strategies in creating financial freedom. There's certainly no quick way to...
I have the following advice to people who would like to give rental properties investment a try: First, think global. Don't focus your investment in just one place. I said I chose properties but...
Sometimes, your logic and rationality annoys me.
Thanks bluekitdon, I created this thread to share ideas with fellow INTJs on making financial freedom a reality. Thanks for your opinion and resource recommendations. I am a fan of Dr. Stanley's...
Thanks again for everyone's reply especially Countryboy. All I have ever done is rental property. I started this when I was in my late twenties. I save up for a deposit, I research on the places...'
