Analysts INTJ

Imaginative and strategic thinkers, with a plan for everything

'In the recent Ukraine crisis I've had a hard time deciding whose propaganda has been more blatant, that of the russian TV or that of the western TV and newspapers. I've decided that they are lying...

Mhmmm...it's either having sex with my chemistry teacher or standing on the seat of my motorbike at 60 mph, take your pick. Both events happened A LONG time ago.

My female INTJ friend plays piano, dances ballet, likes to go hiking and loves classic german poetry. Sounds more like the hobbies of an INFP...LOL.

Besides my usual two dozen hobbies and interests I'm currently obsessing about the history of the american west. I've almost finished one book and already ordered the next. I've also started to read...

If my longest relationship would have been 1 1/2 years I would also say that I would never ever cheat and it's incomprehensible for me how somebody could cheat. I don't want to offend anybody but...

There should be a law demanding that everybody who rants publicly against cheating must disclose the length of his/her longest relationship.

Knowledge, love, friendship, freedom, loyalty, peace, silence, health, good food and wine.

My female INTJ friend used to be my superior at work for 8 years and she's definitely not intimidating. But her bluntness and her tendency to fight for her opinion in meetings didn't make her very...

Reading your post I almost got the impression you don't like ISTJs ;-) My girlfriend is an ISTJ and I love her dependabilty, honesty and dedication to everything she does and to the people she...

Yes but then most people younger than...let's say 40 have a ridiculously short attention span. Maybe I feel like that because I grew up in the pre-digital age.

I don't know anybody who is LESS controlling than I am in a relationship.

I eat alone most of the time at work. I need some quiet time to recharge my batteries. Also I like to read in my lunch break.

In my adult life I never met anybody who made me HATE him/her. Dislike sure... but not hate. I usually feel that somebody who is doing something bad is inferior. How can I hate somebody who is...

Who says INTJs don't know how to get girls? Speak about yourself, bro.

I've known an INTJ woman for about 10 years. At least she tests as INTJ but sometimes I think she might be an INTP. Anyway for about 8 years she was my superior at work. We had a very good...

The thread title reminds me of this penpal I had (for a short time) who was always explaining to me why I REALLY did or said something and how she is so empathic that she always understands people...

I certainly have a scientific approach to life. My main goal in life is to learn how everything works. As a kid I wanted to know why some stars are moving while others are stationary, where the...

Well...I'm shocked!! Not by the article but by the fucking virus that the website the OP has linked to was trying to send me.

I've met three INTJs (two females, one male) and I like all of them. Two are pretty close friends. I have ALWAYS something interesting to talk about with them.

A best friend must be loyal, dependable, inspiring, intelligent, honest and willing to share his/her thoughts and feelings with me. I feel blessed that in my life I have met two great friends who...

My female INFP best friend and I have been fans of the same rock band and we used to chat on their website. Then we met in Berlin, spend a Before Sunrise-like weekend together, decided to stay best...

It's not that strange. I click with other INTJs. They may be rare but IF I meet them there is a good chance that we'll become friends. One of my childhood friends is an INTJ. I've known him for...

I agree with lilysocks. Everybody gets boring if I'm around them too long or meet them too often. Some people bore me after a minute and some after spending a week with them. Even my SO begins to...

Very well observed.

I know three other INTJs. One has been confirmed by multiple tests. The two others have done only one test each but I know them well enough that I can type them without any test. In fact I think...

I'm very touchy-feely with my girlfriend and with my female best friend. I also consider myself romantic. The other 3 INTJs I know in real life are not much different. The stereotypical ice cold...

So we are only allowed to talk about ourselves here? LOL That's pretty silly. You don't know me and you certainly don't know my best friend so I can't talk about whatever I feel like here. That's...

It's not like that. She does put on very nice clothes and she puts on quite a bit of make-up. She WANTS to look attractive, she just thinks that she looks like an ugly duck when in fact she's as...

My INFP best friend also can do this. I find it extremely weird. She can describe the colours of all the people she knows in detail.

Isn't it strange that sometimes the most beautiful people hate their bodies and faces? My female best friend looks absolutely stunning. A lot of heads are turning when she enters a pub. Her body is...

Some of my strategies for coping with stress, anger and sadness: Going out and having long walks in parks or nature. Going jogging or work out. Writing long mails to friends and penpals. Talk...

I CAN'T carry it for you but I CAN carry you! from The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King plus about half of the dialogs in Casablanca.

According to David Keirsey INTJs are very good in maintaining relationships IF they have finally found somebody who meets their standards. My relationship has now lasted for more than 28 years and...

I like hugging close friends. Unfortunately most guys feel really uncomfortable with it. So most of the time I only hug my female friends. I don't like to be hugged by mere acquaintances and...

I have to say I understand the annoyance of the OP. I also think that anybody should be able to answer a text in a reasonable time (say 24 hours) but I have to live with the fact that many people...

It obviously depends on the other persons personality type. Trying to covince an INFP with stating facts and explaining the rationality of the thing you desire is a strategy that is doomed to fail....

I'm more easily hurt by criticism that is completely undeserved. It makes me think How in hell could he/she think THAT about me!!? In the office I sometimes take extra efforts to please a...

Then get ready for a wild ride if you ever get close to one, especially a female one ;-) Nobody can twist and shake your brain cells like an INFP you care a lot about. You'll desperately try to...

I'm like you, I'm usually trying to find out why somebody who used to be friendly to me is suddenly acting like an ass or giving me the silent treatment. However sometimes people are just to scared...

Well, I only really know ONE INFP in person. I'm attracted to her because we can talk for hours and hours about wild concepts, philosophies, psychology, cosmology, the meaning and the subtexts of a...

I was born in 1967 so I was 25 in 1992. Yet I hate most music that was made in the late 80s and early 90s. I love rock and pop music that was produced from the 60s to the early 80s and then some...

My INFP best friend is exactly like you.

Yeah, it sounds crazy but if INFPs strongly criticize somebody and get angry with him/her it means they DO have strong feelings for that person. For people they don't care much about they usually...

I know exactly what you are talking about: Does your date know about MBTI? If not my recommendation would be to introduce him to it and give him David Keirsey's Please Understand Me II as a...

Ah....ok. I see. English is not my first language so sorry if some of my wording is a bit awkward. I'm happy if I can express at least 70% of what I truly mean. LOL.

I completely agree. It always annoys me when anti-social INTJs blame their lack of social skills to their personality type. Yes, I don't like to go out too often, especially not to big parties or...

BTW my profile picture was painted my my INFP friend :-)

I couldn't agree more. Only by learning about MBTI have I understood that every personality type is dogmatic in his/her own way. INTJs and INFPs are certainly among the most dogmatic. But don't let...

Bago, I think you have misunderstood me. I did not say my friend wants to marry me! I said that she wants to have a relationship with another guy that is comparable to my relationship with my...'
