Analysts INTJ

Imaginative and strategic thinkers, with a plan for everything

'I want to add that I hate people that feel the need to respond in forums such as these in the form of a wall of text so long that it could reasonably be considered a junior college essay. Make your...

I also don't believe in the existence of an emotional shield. I simply believe that our feelings are only shared when a true, deep connection has been reached. As far as flirting goes, I think our...

If I have any, I'm completely unaware of it. I do however know of one my INTJ s.o. has. She can't eat potato/corn chips that are folded over. She has to break them apart out of fear of the folded...

When I'm posing for a photo, I've been told you can only see the happiness from the smile my mouth portrays. The rest of my face and composure looks completely forced and uncomfortable. I don't...

As an INTJ, I already keep conversation to a minimum. When bitten by the love bug, conversation becomes vastly more scarce. Don't mistake my meaning, conversation isn't less because of nervousness...

INTJs definitely don't flirt, at least I don't. The concept is so foreign and seemingly stupid/useless. However, I too found myself an INTJ female and have been with her for 7 years. It has honestly...

Honestly, I'd go through my extensive checklist of things I must do, in order, before she knows I'm interested. After that, I grab hold and never let go, unless, of course, it was all a ruse. Then...

If I were you, I'd make sure she knows you're available for support if she wants/needs it then just leave it alone. She'll come to you if/when she wants to but until that time, she'll be busy trying...

I am majorly self-confident. Because I was always a great student and the type of student that didn't need to study to get the good grades, I had my own ego stroking from that alone. I also had...

Personally, I truly hate maybe one or two people. I often get very annoyed at a lot of things, situations, and people which mostly stems from stupidity or a lack of self-discipline or lack of...

I didn't read the article but those points you listed don't sound like me at all, except maybe the first one. I actually don't feel those points describe an INTJ at all. In my opinion, the reason we...

I don't see the point in this question. If I didn't think like an INTJ, then I obviously wouldn't be an INTJ. Speculation is therefore worthless to me because you can't know what you'd be like,...

I don't know if this counts, but I often have some highly detailed and lengthy conversations with myself where questions are being asked and answers are being given as if the side of me asking the...

Personally, I would say yes. I think my own temper/behavior is pretty controlled, or at least what I consider to be controlled. I get very irritated at a lot of things all the time. It quite often...

Snapple, buddy, that is a very good question. I have often pondered the same thing in regards to my own relationship. I love her completely, but at times I've caught myself asking myself, do I...

I feel no threat with people that are genuinely smarter or seemingly more intelligent than myself. I'm usually taken aback by it because I've personally met so few people that are actually smarter...

To answer the question, absolutely not. The convictions of the heart for an INTJ are of the highest sincerity. That is because our emotions are most often hidden and kept to ourselves that if/when we...

I'd have to disagree with you there on a matter of fact basis. Generally, INTJs are the ones most likely to wait for INTPs or any other type to screw up before offering any ideas and/or solutions...

How do you present yourself in a social setting? I don't really present myself. I'm just there. I don't like attention at all with new people so I do what I can to avoid it. I prefer to sit back and...

I'm speechless.....(in a good way)

Well for my relationship in particular, together time usually means to simply be in the same room as the other, most of the time sitting together. We could be doing 2 completely different things...

I also am not very lyrically driven in my musical taste. However if there were any one specific band and genre that I find lyrically amusing and interesting I would have to go with nearly any song...

Same here, being with an INTJ allows me to have to do little to no work when it comes to emotions. We both always seem to be on the same page on absolutely everything. No emotional drama, no...

I enjoy subtle things from my S.O. such as her head on my shoulder, her holding my arm, or something of the like. As Blue Ocean said, I like the idea that someone feels safe and comfortable with me....

Only recently have I made my girlfriend of 4 years take the Jung typology test. I was only half shocked to find out she too was an INTJ. The shocking part of it was just that there are so few of us...

I also recently was just thinking about this. I'm into Jazz, Symphonic/Power/Fantasy metal, punk (late 70s early 80s), and Classical. I'm very specific in my tastes and I don't really like too much...

.....or do we?

I was and still am a fan of math and history. They came so easily for me and they continued to pique my interest every year.

I run numbers in my head in various ways fairly consistently. I see patterns in dates, phone numbers, and addresses. I do A LOT of math in my head, even when the problem doesn't pertain to me or...

I'm an INTJ and I too believe in the God of the Bible. I had a lot I wanted to say, but rather than have any illogical or uncaring people read and pick apart my comments, I'm going to keep it...

I'd love to if there was a local conference/gathering/etc.

I could not stop laughing at that video ^^^^ hahaha

Yeah maybe, I'll have to float around a few sites and see.

Haha indeed. You said it oh so well.

1 was 100% and 9 was 30% maybe it was a bad site?

I suppose you're right. I often have the outcomes you describe but I do fortunately have a couple people that I can have a real discussion with from time to time.

No my 1 was top and 9 was 3rd from the bottom. It said I was a 1 with a wing 9. It makes no sense.

this! ^^^^^^^^ hahahaa

You missed one little thing there. INTJs aren't fond of hugging because they have a reputation to uphold. Its just simply uncomfortable and seemingly pointless. That is unless its from very close...

wait wait wait, people, you all forget, we're INTJs. If a light bulb went out, all we'd have to do is have a quick scientific breakthrough/epiphany (as they come rather natural for us) and a newly...

I'm a 1w9. Apparently I don't have a wing so my 1 balanced out with 9. Still don't quite understand how that works.

Afghanistan- Send more troops Military spending- Give them more money so we can finish these pesky disturbances already The UN- needs an overhaul Foreign Aid- Definitely needs to be...

How about these: Why are you always right?! (said by those who repeatedly debate a topic with me and fail) Where did you get that statistic from, your asshole? (said by one friend in...

Gees, thanks for taking all of them.

Can't dance, could learn easily, but won't because there is no practical use for dancing other than to entertain others, in my opinion.

I too felt normal seemingly for the first time. Also upon reading the results, I couldn't help but feel like I just had the biggest ego stroking of all time. Any other INTJs feel that way or just me?

I would have to go with flying simply because of the extra amount of money you'd be saving on fuel. Also as a few of you pointed out, the lucrative opportunities are just as endless in my opinion as...

I quietly laughed. I can't even begin to count the number of times I've used this same argument with many of my friends (mostly female) and through it all, as obstinate as can be, they refuse every...

Well I'd say I got really lucky with my girlfriend. It only took about 2 weeks to transcend the friendship barrier simply because she was intelligent and low-maintenance which allowed me to do things...

I've had similar experiences. I'll debate with friends who have polar opposite views on the subject matter and they get so irritated when I make a point they can't refuse. In the words of one of my...'
