Analysts INTJ

Imaginative and strategic thinkers, with a plan for everything

'The concept of the functions, that means in theory Introverted Intuition (Ni) and Extroverted Thinking (Te) for INTJs seems somewhat broken in my case. That means: I am very likely a J, that means...

Thank you - in the simplest form: Keep your eyes open, if you see something interesting imagine it on a photograph (a frame with four fingers is really helpful sometimes) and take the picture....

The good thing about photography is that it comes in a broad range of different styles ranging from on-the-fly street photography to carefully arranged studio work. On the one side it is looking for...

Wunderlist very useful tool. But in the end, there are somewhat around 100 positions on my different lists so I am free enough to pick something at my leisure.

As far as I know, it depends on the people involved. Let's say around 10-15% of the INFJs actually like INTJs and surely it's more or less the same the other way round. Like every difference, the...

For that, you have to define boredom. If it means: you don't know what to do next and cannot motivate yourself to do anything - that situation simply doesn't exist. My ToDo- and project lists...

Back to the first pages: There is much of what was written which is true for INTJ males too. The feeling to not belonging - perhaps not as extreme as a female, but nevertheless ... perhaps I...

For Enneagramm I don't get reliable results. I can relate to that because most likely I'm a five with balanced wings and One comes next. That means exactly that: I want to do things the correct way...

I can relate to that too. But I also want to explain some more facets of the problem. Knowledge comes in two flavors: One is knowledge because you want to know it, simply because it is interesting....

You are perhaps right that feelings are incomprehensible, but that is much more correct about my own feelings. As you say, my Fi is tertiary and when they surface, I cannot control or use them, they...

Really? I try to give an example. It might a little bit extreme, but that are examples. A few weeks ago, there was the incident in London at Westminster Bridge and a few days ago in Stockholm. At...

Who says that INTJs and Feelings doesn't belong together? Okay, we function foremost on a very logical and rational basis. But the big but is that we have Fi, and at least for me its something I...

There are different versions of that test around on the net. This is the second one i took, the results of the first are in my signature. The nature of the test, based in questions about your...

Me too! I'm also the kind of INTJ who likes INFJs. Ideally those who are not that far on the F side (damn Fi - I didn't chose that on purpose). But unfortunately, there are two problems in...

I think it's a useful tool. As hardcore INTJ, obviously the description fits me very well. I also believe in the importance of multiple intelligences, and because I'm terrible in interpersonal...

I think that is the core of the matter in my case. As Jack-of-all-Trades-Type, I know that I cannot get the ultimate perfect solution because that is usually reserved for those who dedicate their...

Seems like I'm not the only one terrorizing the neighborhood. Which kind of art you are in depends a lot on your talents, mean which of the multiple intelligences. MBTI is more on the how you pursue...

Fortunately, i was never short on self-esteem. Unfortunately, that means that it is so damn hard to meet someone your equal. Even if you have something to do with upper tier people, you realize...

Without lists the risk is much too great you're going to forget something essential. So, i noted it on sticky notes on my desktop and in simple text files labeled to-do-list. If it were only my...

That question boils down to multiple intelligences. My test result is in my signature and that explains a lot. Logical is a given for INTJs, perhaps visual too, but after that it depends. So,...

People I talk to often say that I don't complete my sentences, especially when in a brainstorming session. Because my mind is several steps ahead, I often abandon a thought and jump to the next...

Thank you for the tip - I'm listening to the Isle of the Dead atm. From Rachmaninov, previously I only knew the first three piano concertos. My personal favourite is Beethoven with some extensions -...

At my work environment, I am surrounded by ISTJs and am INTJ myself, so I know both sides of the coin. The major difference is that the S version does need a lot more guidance and strict boundaries...

If you are an INTJ with high morals, forget politics. That is a thoroughly dirty business and I couldn't stand it. INTJs would make good leaders, but that doesn't count. In a democracy, you need to...

You remind me .. now I'm thinking how I was when i was young (long time ago). My Conclusion: That is a normal function of coming of age. In school, I reduced my efforts to the absolute minimum to...

Mostly true, but because of the differences Android uses its own branch of Java with a lot of native classes. Atm I get crazy trying to generate PDF thumbnails and on one side it is not so simple to...

I have one ... some years ago I went to a destination by train, some changes are needed. But already the first train had delay and my watch said that it would be very hard to catch the next one on...

I do my programming not really professionally, just stuff I need for my small company and I don't want to hire outside services. So, I'm going with the languages needed for the job, FreeBasic for...

No, I think I can imagine the black side very well. Basically, the bad side character is not very different from an INTJs bad side. And the stare, too. So, while I am quite lost in a social event and...

Okay, interesting results. It seems that INFJs are really hard to spot because they're very good at hiding. For the most strong members of a type I can guess pretty well by feel now at least for...

I am just wondering - because it seems to be impossible to meet one of you in reality. But to start at the beginning: INTJs and INFJs are the two Ni-Dominant types. As I understand it, that means to...

I think it depends on the teacher and the how. My approach was always to understand how it works, that is a typical Ni thing. A good teacher will teach the how first and then deduce the applications....

Perhaps that is another point where I am different than everyone else. Perhaps my testosterone level is not that high, but if you ask what I am missing most it's not the sex, but being together with...

My sigpic illustrates that somewhat ... the world is definively easier if all these values are a lot lower.

purpleviolet: If you are so open and honest about something what is a bit frowned upon, so I'm contributing as well: I'm 39 now and my experience in love is zero, too. That sounds not very hopeful,...

Back as a child, i was of course different from now, but not so much and in the same way different from the majority of my peers. Primary school was very much influenced by me the youngest and...

In the time of videoblogs on YouTube, it's easy to look how different types act and which are symphatic. I'm surrounded with S-Types and unfortunately, they are more or less boring to me. No visions,...

From my stack of fantasy literature i have two favorites: One is Kahlan from the Sword of Truth by Terry Goodkind ( together with Richard a very nice example of an INFJ/INTJ pair) and Marci from the...

That is very interesting ... because I also tried to find out for which types the Jack-of-all-Trades thing is true. ENTPs, i know, but INFJs ... never guessed. So, don't forget there're also...

I think being an INTJ is sharing only a part of this. I'm mostly an creator of sorts and when I create something, I expect nothing less than the best result I can accomplish in a reasonable amount of...

I don't think the descriptions are somewhat angelic. After all, you are INJs and basically, not so much different from INTJs, which are famous for their assholism. I've studied INFJs and how they...

I think it has a lot more worth if you look at the picture from the other side. I spent decades with the feel that I'm very different, but I couldn't explain it. So, discovering that I'm an INTJ was...

After reading this thread, I can answer one question clearly: Is that different for the male side? No. As far as I could analyze, I'm stuck in the same trap and the numbers don't look very good...

Why not INTJ? Nearly everything you work with your hands on is mechanical and thus absolutely deterministic. That means it follows the same logical rules what makes it easy to understand with an INTJ...

I really like to build something first in my head or as drawing, make it work theoretically and then proceed to built it real and work on the problems I haven't foreseen and perfect it. But I think...

It really, really depends on the definition of cold. INTJ's appear cold, that may be correct. But that is only a facade. I'm surrounded with ISTJs, and they are the true egoists. They don't appear...

intjonn: For an IQ > 140, you just made a major logical error. Your calculation requires that the various probabilties are independent, but that's not correct. AFAIK while IQ > 130 is 1%, but for...

Generally, all of the four-letter-stuff helped me to understand me and my relation to others much better. At the moment, I don't look at the functions but more in a simplified matter to what the...

That is so sad ... I often try to look nice on photos, but it's sooo hard. Then I tried just for fun the thinks you are the worst s** ever lived on earth stare and I got excellent results on the...

Probably it needs an INTJ to find out that the result programming is buggy. I tried changing the input, but I didn't get consistent results. In the text, the pairs I vs E N vs S F vs T and J...'
