I like finding gifts that are perfect for the receiver, so seeing any indication that my choice was well-made is usually enough beyond the basic verbalized gratitude.

INTJs may like to spend a lot of time thinking about and planning world domination, but I believe the ENTJs are the ones who are actually out there doing it.
I fear not being understood, but at the same time I also fear being understood yet not being accepted for who I am. When I was younger that second fear tended to win out, so I would keep bits of my...
I've never been in a relationship, but I can say that it wouldn't be a reason for me to break up with someone. I think the biggest reasons I'd think about ending a relationship would be significant...
I feel like I've had something similar. People I know tend to look up to me or idolize me as this amazing person, but on the inside I don't feel that special or extraordinary. It's a reputation I...
Hopefully you'll run into more mature and well-adjusted INTJs in the future. I think the main point of contention between ENTJs and INTJs is the stubborn streak. It can be a competition of egos and...
I agree with yet another intj. The problem with these quick initial judgments is that we're susceptible to confirmation bias. I used to be pretty judgmental based on first impressions, but over time...
It can be amusing to play along with at times, but ultimately I find it annoying because too often the people I expect to know better still project that stereotype onto me, so I get unjustly vilified.
-Suggesting a solution to a problem instead of sympathizing. -Alternatively, pointing out why some feeling of theirs is unreasonable. ^I think it's worth noting that how well these two things are...
-Only care about winning -Actively manipulate people to get what they want -Treat relationships very clinically or like business transactions -Misanthropic, antisocial -Ruthlessly ambitious ...
The guy I liked rejected me, and while that did hurt (especially since I'd been so sure that he reciprocated the feelings), what hurt more was that our friendship, which I thought would last even if...
1. What do you appreciate most about ENFP's? They're generally open to discussing new ideas. They're usually very accepting of people, so you don't really feel judged by them most of the time. ...
For me, it depends on the exact scene and situation. I don't cry at every scene that's supposedly emotionally touching. I really only cry at the ones that speak to me on a more personal level in some...
For me unhealthy behavior encompasses: -stress eating (inferior Se) -reckless impulsiveness (also Se) -neglecting to eat and sleep enough (when Se falls off the radar in favor of Ni) -elitism...
For me, awkwardness in a social situation usually stems from a) making a mistake of some sort, b) not knowing what to do/say, or c) knowing what's expected of me but being unable to fulfill that...
A Disney princess who's an engineer who constructs her own HQ in the mountains and refuses to marry the prince unless he can get past her booby-traps and into her inner lair...
Looking at my friends whose types I know, I seem to get along well with xNFPs, xNFJs, and xSTJs. But type aside, my friends are determined more by common interests than anything else.
Reading is a hobby and a form of stress relief for me. I suppose it does serve as an escape from reality as well. However, I wouldn't necessarily say that I'd like to live in any of those imagined...
Reading (fiction and nonfiction), writing, listening to music, thinking about random things, going on the occasional mini adventure that usually involves food and movies, lurking on the Internet.
I'm an engineering major, and I love science (astronomy and biology in particular), but my hobbies and interests are mostly in the humanities (visual art, literature, psychology, foreign languages,...
Hmm, good point. I'm much more forthcoming and generous with facts about myself, but the emotions surrounding the facts stay private unless I feel comfortable enough with my audience to share them.
Ni can feel like a blessing, but at times it can be a curse. The paranoia thing is sadly true. I can get hung up on the multitude of possible negative outcomes for a situation. Ni can also lead to...
I think part of this inclination toward privacy is just a result of being introverted. Extraverts tend to conceive of their identity based on their place in the external world, whereas introverts...
Personally, definitely not. In general, probably not. However, it still varies by individual. There are a number of INTJs, who, for whatever reason (grew up with it, adapted to it, etc.), are more...
The few times people have explicitly stated reasons they enjoy my company, they've pinpointed the following things: honesty, saying what I believe is truly right rather than what is convenient or...
Personally, I'd say imagination itself. It's what gives us the capacity to think ahead, beyond the tangible here and now, which is what differentiates us from other animals. Language complements...
As much as people like to rag on INTPs for being useless, they definitely have made their contributions in the theoretical fields. My problem is that I seek tangible results and accomplishments,...
In my opinion, thinking and feeling aren't mutually exclusive. Sometimes they may be at odds with each other, but they are also capable of complementing each other. One can inform the other. Looking...
Funny that someone should ask this since I once made it a point to identify and define my four major personas while trying to explain how I conceive of my identity to some friends. None of these...
I take notes for my university classes, but it often feels very perfunctory to me. The frequency and extent to which I actually use those notes is pretty low, but I write them down anyway just in...
I find that my Fi keeps me grounded and helps me maintain my authenticity and integrity as an individual in the face of external pressures. While I'm no good with Fe, Fi at least helps me remember...
I think I'm in the same boat. Although there are some people that I've referred to as my best friends, I feel as if I've never had a true best friend in the sense of the term as I've always imagined...
^This sums things up pretty nicely. I'm currently in the middle of a situation that more or less looks like this. On top of simply rejecting me, the person I liked hurt me in the midst of an...
If you can find a way to make the mundane interesting, then I'm sure your INTJ won't mind at all. Plus, there's the fact that when you enjoy someone's company enough, the particular activity you're...
It really depends on the particular INTJ since different INTJs have different interests and hobbies. If you're planning a date, it's best to just ask the particular INTJ directly what he/she wants to...
Reread this, and found something to add: The fact that he's not even giving you the benefit of the doubt that you weren't intending to provoke him with that statement sounds a little worrisome. And...
Sounds like a typical INTJ thing. We tend not to trust people easily, so if we trust someone and that person hurts us, things can turn ugly fairly quickly. If I were in that kind of situation, I'd...
I can definitely relate. I'm currently in the midst of an argument with someone who keeps reading an emotional component (namely, aggression, condescension, etc.) in what I intend to be neutral...
I can relate to this. I tend to spend a large amount of time on research and creating realism for things that are obviously not real. People always tell me my worldbuilding and conceptual development...
The thing I have been better about maintaining is creative writing (well, not in the past six months, but over the past few years, yes). I write a lot of fantasy type stories, which is always fun...
I was more artistically prolific before I started college. My artistic productivity has stagnated into nonexistence these past few years. But for whatever it's worth, I did realism, surrealism, and...
I think I was a bit ESFP-like as a kid (at the very least, I was more extraverted), and now as a young adult I think I kind of leak ESFP whenever I feel like I have zero inhibitions, for better or...
Like what someone else said, I have a variety of subjects and skills that I have a hand at, but I wouldn't consider myself absolutely amazing or extraordinarily talented at any of them. I'm good at...
I actually just went through this process. I was going to ask someone out but then decided not to based on a lengthy personal/emotional argument we had about a month ago. I saw him in person about a...
In general I'm pretty frugal due to a combination of my upbringing and my own more pragmatic inclinations. While I can enjoy looking and admiring at extravagant, expensive things, I tend not to covet...
If you're trying to amass an INTJ army, I'd suggest you reconsider because your INTJs will probably get into arguments that will impede all progress toward accomplishing any of your devious plans. :P...
It's nowhere near being a regular thing for us, but it certainly happens. Actually, I won't presume to speak for everyone, but it's happened to me. I feel emotionally neutral about the vast majority...'
