Analysts INTJ

Imaginative and strategic thinkers, with a plan for everything

'It's a long story. No it isn't. You just don't feel like telling me. So say that. Commitment team industry-wide infrastructure, enterprise-grade solution, leveraging management increase...

I'll listen to a lot of different music, but the stuff that I always come back to is classic rock and hard rock. Bowie, Queen, McCartney, Aerosmith, Clapton, GnR... Hearing's my primary sense,...

My synthetic friend: - Looks like Captain Jack Sparrow - Is an authorized, functional U.S. Mint - Is fully functional and programmed in multiple techniques - Comes with an Iron Man suit -...

Got that one out of the way pretty early in life. Every subsequent instance of unrequited lust, I think, has been one-sided. :proud:

You are now free to work on whatever pet projects you feel like at work. Your boss doesn't like your new direction but is too passive-aggressive to recommend that he'd/she'd rather you work on a...

It depends on at least two things: how much she wants you and how confident she is. Women range from being traumatized by everything, to not afraid of anything, and of course, that'll color how...

Whatever the chemicals are (dopamine, perhaps?)... That person has become a drug and needs to be treated as such. Cut yourself off from them cold turkey. Don't think, don't look, don't talk, don't...

If you knew Star Trek lore, you'd know that even Vulcans have to force themselves to be Vulcans--they also go batshit crazy when their emotion dam cracks. (It was used as a plot device several...

When it happens to me, it's fear that keeps me from talking to him. I'm either (a) afraid he'll reject me, or (b) afraid I'll find out that even though I'm his friend, he's not mine. (a) is...

That's a rational fear--we can see it. :tongue: Guilty! LMAO. I am SO trying this with the next INTJ co-worker I find.

When I was 4-5 years old, I couldn't get enough of building, fixing, or learning. I had my own personal library (mostly classic literature and reference books), all sorts of building blocks, a...

The way I'm put together is at odds with pretty much all of religion's goals and tenets. I don't think I could choose to be religious, any more than I could choose to be a man.

This one? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nj1O_-P67pY I love that movie! They're not husband and wife in the movie, though. I think the scene's relatively realistic--I've had romantic...

I see being married as financially and socially advantageous. Not advantageous enough to seek it out for its own sake, though. I don't understand the draw of the actual ceremony, though, with all...

When (guys in particular) know they're INTJs, and use lame excuses like I don't have any emotions for not even trying to interact socially as an adult. I've run into a couple of those so far.

Tim Minchin can... Ha ha. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rrgFIlnmrGk

I think Blue Ocean's explanation is more likely than photographic memory in this instance... especially since photographic memory wouldn't help you remember a lecture. ;-) This sums up pretty...

I think in words. I don't really ever visualize anything. My visual memory is near-useless, so for me, of all the ways there are of recognizing things and people, visual is dead last. Of...

Seconded. There was one that reached out and grabbed me with lyrics, though: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OOgpT5rEKIU

I've met lots of people who are about to finish a game-changing self-help book. Prove to us that you're not a statistic by linking the Amazon page to it, and we'll talk. Even then, what's a...

Mac OS X Server: Cannot authenticate to SMB shares when bound to Windows Server 2008 Active Directory The article refers to SMB shares on domain-attached OS X servers, but it apparently also...

Disclaimer: I'm not a guy, but being that I seem to get along better with guys, I sometimes wonder whether I'm actually from Mars and not Venus. Your mileage may vary. People who have...

The interactions between the characters, and the characters' reactions to extraordinary circumstances, is always my favorite part of every dramatic TV show. I think I liked SGU the best, closely...

Get along with: ENTJ, INFP, INTP, some INTJs. Get irritated by: High-maintenance drama queens. (Whatever type that is.) Ugh. Also, the other INTJs that aren't included above. :laughing:

Disclaimer: I'm a Windows Server admin by trade. I use whichever one has the software or features I need to accomplish a task in the least amount of time. If the software I need is available...

I was in the Navy for 2 years of a 4 year contract, and hated every moment of it. At my command, appearances trumped job performance, and punishments were intended to demoralize instead of change...

Extend your awareness outward from yourself to include that other person. You're so focused on how those other people are making you feel (confused), that you're not trying to understand why they...

I can't hear plethora without this scene popping into my head: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-mTUmczVdik I think you know you're an INTJ when all your ex-boyfriends call you for help with...

I always had plenty of frilly girly-stuff, thanks to extended family who didn't know any better, and it didn't take my ENTJ mom very long to pick up on the fact that her kid liked building blocks,...

Let's see, fifteen... fifteen... About the same as now, with some movies weighted more because I wasn't as familiar with classic themes as I am now, so they seemed much more profound than they do...

Sure seems like that, doesn't it? I've met a few of them--I seem to be an INTJ magnet. (Even so, it seems like there aren't enough of us.) If you want confirmation of her type, just bring up some...

It depends on the other person--How shy is he? How aggressive is he? How confident is he? How he acts around me will dictate how I flirt with him. It can end up being anything from laughing at his...

Dave Barry. <-- click!

I'm not Asperger's--I'm INTJ. I can be gracious, empathetic, and even girly when I need to be. The fact that you can't find me means I'm probably pretending to be someone else. That person...

I do. What I don't have the capacity for is to let love (or any other emotion) rule me. I do slip up, from time to time, and throw caution to the wind, and do something completely over-the-top in...

My favorites: Don't worry, you'll want kids someday. Must you argue with everything? (Hey, I thought we were brainstorming. F-types, sheesh.)

Why don't you just ask him? And by ask him, I mean, Are you avoiding me? (The biggest complaint I hear from guys in general is that girls won't get to the point.) By not asking him, you're...

Man, being a 17-year-old INTJ girl was tough. The really cute guys aren't interested in you, and mostly you're not interested in them either; and your interesting geeky guy friends from the computer...

Oh, yeah I will. Particularly if it's a guy, and I want him to know that I'm totally interested. Or maybe if I think someone hasn't been getting the recognition they deserve and needs championing. ...

1. Johnny Depp. 2. Love Potion #9. 3. Solar-powered laptop with satellite internet connectivity. If I had those... F@#$ civilization. :tongue: (Aww, someone else beat me to the punch with...

What pisses me off? People (especially other INTJs) with no sense of humor. INTJs that I meet that want me to believe that the reason they don't have a sense of humor is because they're an INTJ....

http://www.metacafe.com/watch/2738528/stop_smoking_with_nicotrel/ My friends and I threaten each other with Nicotrel every time we think someone needs an intervention because they're doing...

I took the MBTI for the first time in high school. I wished I'd seen it in first grade, so I could have skipped all the years between where I was trying (and failing), on bad advice from my family...

I don't think that a religion that you make up is really a religion. Wait... I may have stumbled onto something here... What pisses me off? Well, aside from everything Lewis Black mentioned last...

The only ENFJ I know is my grandmother, and she drives me insane. She lives to show off her emotions to the rest of the world. She's always offended, or despondent, or afraid, or ecstatic. She...

When I draw a portrait, the person's soul ends up on the paper, as experienced by me. When I write a program or a script, that program tries to infer what the person wants, with the least amount of...

Inside every cynic, there is a disappointed idealist. --George Carlin

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ak6iEPkcHfs Bow down before the epicness that is Queen.

Love the Carlin clip. That's my religion, you know--I'm a Carlinist. Or... Carlinitarian. Carlintologist? Personally, I just don't get war. I don't get how someone can be such a failure, or...

It changes over time, but some of my current favorites are: The Princess Bride (Of course, right?) Idiocracy History of the World Part I (and a bunch of other Mel Brooks movies) How to Train...'
