What is the first thing that comes to mind when recalling a memory/experience? Do you remember feelings/events/sensory details/people/things you've said/a train of thought? Is it completely random?
Well, we as human beings are all pretty inconsistent and in flux so I don't think you can ever 'figure' a type out. (especially me; not sure about other INTJs. I'm the most contradictory person...
I'm so happy for you. This isn't constructive at all but yeah.
Maybe. I do admit that I'm very socially inept. But I'm often open to new experiences that can help me grow/improve myself. Also, I don't really not like dealing with people's emotions, they just...
Oh no I wasn't offended in any way. I just think it's interesting that you came to that conclusion through a text post.
How do you even gauge social awkwardness through a text post?
Basically, I hear everywhere that INTJs are the masterminds that just love solving problems. I do if it's academic in nature (say, when I don't understand something or if I take in new...
But if this person has no known difficulties or impairments, then doesn't it invalidate his claim? Perhaps it might be more difficult for him then for someone with genius IQ, but it's high school...
Yeah I read about this experiment done by Rosenzweig and Bennett. Rats that were put in impoverished environments (no toys/isolated) had a much thinner layer of neurons in their cortex while those in...
Can you please explain what you mean by I think your reasoning is a bit off? I get what you mean by how interests can be naturally inclined but what does that have anything to do with having an...
Yeah, I know that intelligence is hereditary in some ways, but do you think it's reasonable to live your whole life think that you should resign from learning specific things just because of your...
Personally, I've always viewed expertise/competence in a subject area as mostly a reflection of hard work and passion. It would be a bit reductionistic to say that social conditions/ the...
Curious about the general consensus.
You need to stop overthinking things. YES
I get criticised for not knowing how to follow 'social protocol'. For instance, I wanted to know what the scholarship benchmark for our grade was. (I'm still in high school) I asked the Head of...
I love how externally passionate (about the things they like) and sort of whimsical they are. They're like the caricature of intuitive types that have an avid interest in something. My...
Isn't it because you expressed interest in her in April 2016? That's why her ESFP friend said she's protective of her (cause she knows that the INTJ doesn't really like you?) I wouldn't know...

Do you observe them more? Talk to them more? Stare at them? Do you think about that person? Become uncomfortable? I'm an INTJ too. Was just wondering.
I'm currently 16 and I go to high school. I realise that my teachers often don't really like me personally, but they still give me the best grades and comments about how driven I am/distinct, etc. ...
Really like your mentality. I just don't appreciate the black and white approach where cheating is just wrong. End of story.
I guess I have to realise that not everyone thinks the same way I do. I try to find a reason for everything I do but I guess it's not the same for everyone.
True I guess I'm just an asexual who doesn't understand the idea of trust. I find it hard to trust anyone. Even myself. Maybe I'm indifferent towards the idea because I don't trust the person in the...
Well like I said, I wouldn't know cause I've never been cheated on. I'm just incapable of thinking that things are wrong just because it's the way it is.
Fellow INTJs, what are your opinions on cheating? Personally, I think that the most important thing is whether or not it meant anything to the person. I don't get it when people overreact and say...
Muse-I belong to you, neutron star collision
I've always had gut feelings that told me how a person is like but they're not very focused on the future. For example, instead of suspecting what a certain person would do, it's more that I can...
I retook the cognitive functions quiz and found out that I use Ni mostly (figured). (And this has happened before but) I had Ti as my second. But this time, I had Fi as my third and then Te, Ne, Fe,...

I don't why people often associate low self-esteem with what people think. I've never really cared what people think of me, I just doubt myself because of the uncertainty of some events. (for...
36 INTJ Not diagnosed
I'm actually 16. Not sure if I should say this on a forum (in fear of getting my account banned) but I figured to hell with it cause I can always make another account if there is an age limit on...
I guess the only reason why my INTP friend laughs along generally is because she knows where I'm coming from. Maybe I can choose to be self-deprecating only when I've become closer to someone or...
But isn't self-deprecation owning up to your flaws?
Ok well at least my comments are less whiny. I never sound like I want people's pity (my best friend is an INTP and she always laughs at my self-deprecating jokes, she never complains that they're...
It's actually quite paradoxical. I have anxiety and also what I would class as low self-esteem. I have quite a self-defeatist attitude but then I still never give up and try my best in all...
What if it was 'constantly saying negative things about myself' for humour? I don't know, sometimes I just like laughing when I fuck stuff up because it's so funny to think that I tried so hard...
I know I'm an INTJ and many MBTI sources describe the INTJ to be arrogant/confident (though the MBTI description honestly doesn't mean that much---that's really a discussion for another time) but I...
Do you find first impressions to be lasting/indicative of a person? Have you ever changed your opinion about someone after a first impression? Do you make first impressions based on how people...
I'm an INTJ and I have a tendency to overanalyze and almost magnify small things (to a neurotic extent) when I'm anxious or bothered by them. Is this common or uncommon among INTJs? My dad is...
Not saying that thinking equates to attraction or anything but when you find out that someone has a crush on you, do you sense it and become highly uncomfortable? Or do you think about the person and...
Oh my god, my parents are also unhealthy ESxJs and it makes me feel a subconscious aversion towards similar types in respect to pursuing romance. I thought I was the only one. I often go for IxxJs
I've never been outwardly masculine. I never dressed like a guy when I was a kid. But I guess you can say that I'm quite oblivious to gender roles. I just do what I want. I see it more as an art...
No I meant that I know enough that I don't need a 'lecture'. I'll never know enough. The world is limitless and our capacities for knowledge will never be fulfilled. I just said that because I was...
wtf no. i was talking about an article i wrote abut nietzsche a while back. i intend to write more about nietzsche in the future. and about marx, i think i know enough about him to say that i...
wait what do you mean by probably shouldn't've posted here, you think he'll google it?? maybe i'll delete it later. and unfortunately, i think we'll still have to talk in the future because...
OH FUCK. Well, no one on this forum replied yesterday (2 people did but then they said that he rejected me) so I already sent the message. I just thought, screw it, there's nothing to lose. I'm the...
LOLOL. I just have no knowledge of this kind of stuff and have no one to talk to about it for rational advice.'
