Analysts INTJ

Imaginative and strategic thinkers, with a plan for everything

'I was reading through Personality Types by Jung, and he mentioned that Ni dominants often grow towards two paths. One where Ni colors the judgement of the individual, and they begin to see everything...

It's not even a question of good or bad, but people always judge. You did what you did in life. Even if it was a regret, it happened and that's the only way you grow, nobody has the right to say that...

It's okay if somebody has their own preference. I've seen too many women whose self esteem is ruined because of their natural desires. I've seen too many men who think alcohol is what you need to...

Girls like sex. I used to doubt it in my youth, but by god it's true. Women want and need casual encounters as much as any man, and they shoot for it. They want a night of fun, an experience to...

Is intolerance justified? Or should we be intolerant only of intolerance?

But as an Fi user, my natural instinct is to claim, My emotions are my own, stay away from them and I'll decide for myself how to feel. It's tempting to believe that when somebody is influencing me...

Might I direct you two to... this thread? Fe's insincere (misunderstood) displays of emotion - INTJ Forum

Don't take it personally. He's got the urge to experience the world and grow. Happened with my ENFP friend who travels without a clue where he's headed. Listening to their emotions leads them to...

Maybe when people are confused, and they earnestly need to know, it turns to despair. What about things we don't understand about the things we deal with daily in life? Can one be confused about...

I don't know too many ENTPs, but never really got to the point in which I realized how 'deep' an ENTP is. I'm a little curious as to if this has something to do with how you guys think, (or more...

I've always wondered what facet of my personality places such a strong association with genuineness, this deep desire to see unbridled expressions of one's feelings, opinions, thoughts, or ideas. ...

I have the feeling that many people who feel as if they're not understood are, in a sense, not understood. They don't have somebody they can share their thoughts and feelings with in a way that they...

I don't intend to be critical... but this worldview is closed minded. People do things for a reason, and though it may often be difficult to relate, it does not make it a bad thing. I agree...

Ts are constantly wrong about the facts. Temperament doesn't really dictate how much idiocy somebody has. There've been people who really aren't pleasant from every walk of life.

Which book/series would you absolutely recommend to anybody who has remotely similar interests to your own? Mine would certainly be the LotR series, though if their interests are similar to...

Another note about war: It's not entirely accurate to despise war as bad when you condone all other sorts of hostile actions and effects. The state of the economy of any single country governs the...

Absolutely. Vegetarianism, mostly as a result of my Fi. Honestly, I don't believe I'm actually making a difference. I realize that true improvement will only come from a top down change or...

lol Sorry to hear we're frightening. Unfortunately, many INTJs don't know the value of subtlety when it relates to logical and scientific accuracy, so an interpretation of logical inconsistency is...

Self awareness isn't about being aware of one's own actions. It's about understanding how you come across to others, understanding how you affect the world. Self awareness comes from having a goal...

He's using you.

INFJs (some upon learning that they're INFJs) sometimes say they get things right when they know it can't really be possible... Dreaming about things before hand, Feeling something bad when you're...

I also have a friend who I am certain is an INFP, but this individual absolutely refuses to believe it; he convinces himself that he is an ENFP. It sort of fits, because he tries to be spontaneous...

Ni as an auxiliary is an incredible tool for making your life much easier, efficient, smarter, faster, stronger, whatever the hell. I would never give up my Ni unless I had it as an auxiliary. (If...

I'm asking about those errors in judgment about perspectives, things we think about. Like seeing the world from darwinian eyes after you learn the theory of evolution. It's not wrong; it's just maybe...

As an INTJ, I must say that my Ni leads me to believe some pretty weird stuff (They're completely accurate, I assure you. It's just that it might not be the best way of seeing things). Looking at...

The Nausea... The Existence! This sounds like a pretty common complaint with INTJs as well. Usually a nap helps. If it seems more of a long term thing, then sometimes it helps just to do...

Live fast, Die young, and leave a pretty body. Just hope you actually die. Some scars never quite disappear.

If I were in a romantic relationship with an INFP, what might I do to help alleviate some of these concerns?

Say the preferred gender came up to you, moderately acquainted, and said to you Stop looking at me with that silly grin? with a similar expression? Do people often compliment your figure? ...

I think, in a moment, I'll update my footer to say: Since you discovered MBTI, how many of you use it as a drunk man uses a light post?

That becomes the only interesting thing to consider when somebody makes such a statement.

I think most introverts find themselves to be in some semi-emotionless state. Frankly, most people aren't terribly happy, but extroverts love distraction. The impression is that most people...

I take great consideration to my emotions, but if you have something that doesn't work, then it DOESN'T WORK. That's kind of important. People often make the statement, Well, people are dumb......

I find I enjoy music the most that deals with negative emotions. APC, Tool, (some) Death Cab, Evanescence, Mogwai, Porcupine Tree, This Mortal Coil, ect. Blues is the best Jazz. Really, minor key...

Doesn't anybody else think that this might be the source of the problem? That you're supposed to be attracted to a certain type? I for one find that those traits that I admire in the opposite...

You must understand that, as an INTJ, I can't agree with this. After all, I can't expect that all my friends will be completely objective and consider all possible alternatives, and it would be...

How would you deal with people who manipulate your friends into hating you?

I'd describe Ni as a network, like an enormous flow chart, hidden in a dark encompass. (Excuse my incorrect grammar). Each node consists of concepts and objects, but what you really see is what you...

Cloud - FF7 And, of course, many of my own imagination. I remember when I was young, and it was vivid enough to have odysseys in. I borrowed a lot, but I imagined enough story to fill another...

Don't you worry, I've heard how good you ENFPs are in bed.:wink: Care to share anyways?

It's purely for logical, scientific, INTJ-like concerns. :wink:

Whats the x96 ehm x96 kinkiest you'd consider doing? Ever just lose it and pounce on the one you love? What's the craziest thing you're willing to share? Does my outfit reveal too much?

These kids grew up on Fern Gully. They know leftovers when they're being spoon-fed the scraped off sides of a microwave oven.

I always look the person dead in the eyes and say to them, Thank you. Especially when I know they're being facetious.

Have you ever thought – society was actually working fine up until some brilliant jerkoff decided that it was better to plant food... and ever since then, as a species, we've been careening...

INTJ perspective here, but I'm sure I've got some to add. I've always felt a little bit misplaced. In my youth, I was completely baffled as to why people did what they did, and why I didn't do...

Ready Set Go.

INTJ, to be exact :happy:. I'm surprised how well his personality was written. I've heard that Jane Austen was an INTJ herself, which would explain the otherwise idiosyncratic appearing tendencies...

Nah, I'm over it, gone and past. If anything else, I just would liked to have known her better, but, perhaps, it's not a bad thing that it wasn't so, as it couldn't be so. I suppose the hardest...

Just try it out. It's not a skill like knowing how to photoshop or do a J-turn in your car. It's more of a habit. A lot of my Fi friends tend to 'people watch', where they stare at other people...'
