'Two years into the practice of law my personality has continue to change, and I have continued to adapt to my environment and professional demands. My Myers-Brigg has continued to shift and be more...
I was an atheist for most of my adult life, in no small part as a reaction to the irrationality, bigotry, and hate I encountered in the Christian traditions I grew up with in the south. As an...
While feelings and hormones do most of the ground work for other types, INTJs tend to rely on a foundation of trust and reason. When you have two INTJs doing this to one another the process can...
I recently started dating an INTJ female. She is hot, nerdy and psychotic in all the right ways. One would think it would be boring to date someone who is like you to the point of having the same...
Speaking only for myself, I would not agree with this assessment. When I go feel something it is rarely deeply or intensely. Rather it is almost like something I witness from a third person...
I tend to go for the feminine ice queen...think Bree Vandekamp from Desperate Housewives. However, I am really attracted to confident, intelligent and professional women, so don't be thrown off by...
I have met several INTJs who I regard as comparatively emotional. Though they are still probably less emotional than the average person, next to me they are veritable Fs. I see very little utility...
In the time I have spent in the forums I have come to to note the wide range of emotionality or responsiveness I have seen in other INTJs. I tend to be at the extreme end of the T spectrum to the...
I use to be really bad for this sort of thing when I was younger, but have pushed myself to develop my Se more. Though I am funatmentally an INTJ, on occasion I test as an ISTJ. I still go blurry...
I feel I should warn you, such a course of action may result in hugging. If that is a risk you are willing to take, so be it.
I'm not sure if I love my mother or lot - but I am use to her, and she loves me more than anyone else...for whatever that may be worth. However, I cannot remember a time in my life when I did not...
In the words of my Grandmother, Put that down before you break it! Speaking from experience this is solid advice. I have either broken or emotionally maimed every XNFP I have ever met, sometimes...
Flakes. I allow people to cancel plans or flake on me three times, after that they lose the privilege of making plans with me. For me making any sort of recreational plans requires the moving around...
I would have to take issue with the OP's assessment of Lilith, because she is a classic INTJ. ENTJs tend to be charismatic and express emotions fairly easily in addition to being decisive and...
When strangers try to engage me in small talk I usually tell them that I don't speak English.
I can identify with this a great deal. When stressed I shut down emotionally and socially and focus on the job at hand. During finals in law school I usually disappeared the month and a half before...
I have noticed here and elsewhere INTJs referring to themselves as shy. I know this is common in introverts, and I myself was on the shy side when I was a kid. However, as I got older and my...
As soon as my Grandmother dies I will be spending the holidays in the Bahamas.
I have used this technique before, and usually grit my teeth as soon as they aren't looking. However, as I said I have no problem with pretending, I can be a consummate actor. What I lack is...
I can certainly empathize. Few things make me more angry than disrespect. Though I am generally slow to anger in most situations, my reaction to this can be quite primal. Bookish as I can be at...
I have seen this used to describe INTJs that tend to be more aggressive and assertive than most, and was wondering if any were lurking about. I generally believe I would fit into this category....
Though I have learned to employ some tricks of my own in order to appear more sociable, the bane of my social life remains my complete lack of interest in other people. When people do not annoy me...
Have you tried psychological exploitation? This has worked for me in that past when I care to do it. I study the subject and her past relationships. I find the common thread or characteristic that...
Blackberry? That may be a deal breaker. I am a Mac user.
For me loyalty and trust are things that must be earned. My trust can be earned if the persons is consistently reliable over a long period of time, and my loyalty can be gained if it is mutually...
haha Well lets see, there are two major schools of thought on the human brain and *identity/soul. The dualist position as explicated by Descartes contends that identity or as he called it the soul is...
That is understandable. When someone annoys or angers me excessively I first try to ignore them, and if that doesn't work I start plotting their demise. Generally my ability to internalize and...
This is a spot on analysis of the arguments being made about tact - and goes a long way in explaining why they were starting to make me nauseous. To clarify for the non-INTJs this is not meant...
Ok. At this point I should probably reluctantly make out with you, and then date you for a few weeks...after which time you will accuse me of secretly being a serial killer (Dexter has really...
I just don't have much tolerance for people's emotions, and so that is rarely a factor I consider. I tend to view the over-sensitivity of others as a handicap which I am reluctant to accommodate.
I workout compulsively and am in great shape. I decided a long time ago I wasn't going to attract many women with my personality, so I decided I would distract them with my body. bahaha But yeah,...
I find it interesting that some people have found the posts here somehow offensive. To me they seem like truthful and straight forward responses for the most part. I am only commenting on this...
Off the top of my head I think one of the problems you had is that you assumed INTJs have a lot of feelings that we just aren't showing you, and that the frosty exterior was just a veneer you could...
Perfection. The defining of it, and the constant drive to achieve it. The fact that it is unattainable only means I'll never run out of things to keep me going.
Nice signature. haha
I am extremely regimented in my food intake. I eat 6 small meals a day, one every three hours (to ensure my blood glucose levels don't fluctuate, and to promote an ideal anabolic environment in my...
I'm in the gym five days a week 10-13 hours a week. I'm 5'10, and weigh 190 with 10% body fat. So while I am certainly not a fat INTJ, I don't fit into the lanky category either. I was fat as a kid,...
I often don't bother to learn people's names even after an embarrassingly long time of having known them (sometimes years)...So I use You in place of their name.
I tend to be a bit of Hobbesian when it comes to social contract theory. I will play by the rules of a civilized social order because most of the time it is in my best interest to do so....However,...
Refrain from anthropomorphizing me please. :) haha
I think the ISTJs differ somewhat from INTJs in that we rarely let any hint of our anger or madness bubble to the surface - at least in adulthood. To be certain I could be rather eccentric as a...
This has quickly degenerated.
But the point of genetic modification is that those less desirable genes cease to be. No longer will they be passed on to the next generation.
Who exactly does this rewarding again? Something is or is not, I place no moral judgment upon it for being less capable or less fit. Some traits are more or less desirable than others because they...
I'm afraid you have lost me. Genetic engineering is something that would have to occur at the time of fertilization or before. Once the egg is fertilized and begins gestation I don't know that one...
I am always hesitant to proclaim things are broad moral obligations. If I were to make that claim here, I would in effect be saying that everyone has an obligation to genetically modify their...
I feel a straw man argument has been built and attacked in place of the one I originally proposed. However, I suspect this is largely a result of people only reading one or two select posts in this...
It is the ultimate solution to nearly any trouble some bothersome person may cause you. I obey the rules of society so long as it is beneficial, and I can be seemingly selfless with friends and...
For some reason people automatically go to genocide anytime one mentions eugenics (damn Hitler). Henceforth I am referring to it as strategic genetic modification. What I am suggesting is more akin...
I just vomited in my mouth a little. haha'
