When listening to type descriptions, remember that "type portraits" can never accurately describe all people of a given type. Descriptions and portraits like these can only describe the types as they typically are.
INTJs are introverts that know how to act like extroverts
Yea that’s us lol
So true. I was shocked at my own results. It explained alot.
True, I myself was confused if I was an ENTJ but I’m truly an INTJ
Im that lol im all extro until i meet an real extrovert
Bro so true, I thought I was the alone one to think that until I took a test and found out that I’m an INTJ
"I'm surrounded by idiots."
The INTJ struggle is real
I say this to myself almost every day.
LOL so true
YES
Scarred Hero So true, it’s quite frustrating & exhausting when no one ever understands what I mean with my words.
“No no I’m not insulting you, I’m describing you! Why are you upset?”
"It's an observation not a judgment"
@@eyes0nyu oh my god i've said this so many times
"I'm only stating facts "
Yessssss
@@eyes0nyu oh to deal with this everytime
I am an INTJ and I just realized it during the test that I am physically emotionless (show less emotions) but I have too much feelings and emotions deep inside.
Try again maybe you are an Infj
Saaaaaaaame
Just me g Intjs aren't emotionless, being more emotional doesn't make you an Infj, idiot..

Omg sameee
As an INTJ, I feel as though I could lock myself away from people for dangerous amounts of time. What scares me is I might not miss anyone.
It's not scary. It's who you are.
I've been quarantined for 8 months and don't miss interaction
I'm really enjoying the lockdown.
@@ohjessica6813 Me too~ I live for it especially when I stay up late night when everyone is asleep. (The nocturnal animal within me)
I feel like that. I'm a university student and i love it when I'm away from my family, not because i hate them but because they often get in the way but at university i can lock myself in a room for days and work on projects i like for ages. I hated lockdown because i had to move back home as my tenancy contract ended. 6 months away from people would have been amazing
I remember I legitimately thought I was a psychopath, it turns out I'm just and INTJ
That’s so me
Me too.
Same, tho who knows, maybe I'm both 🙃
Psychopaths are rare, so is an INTJ. Maybe there's a correlation?
By that logic, Elizabeth Holmes is an INTJ, but you’re also narcissistic if you’re trying to put adjectives to your name.
“Don’t talk to me I’m thinking“- I relate to this way too much😭
Ikr
Lol same I laughed when I saw your comment 🤣
It's like my catch phrase "shut up. I'm thinking"
This. I find it so infuriating to be interrupted for some reason
All the time. Every moment.
I'm an INTJ with anxiety. So I'm constantly like "why am I so emotional?" and I assure you it's exhausting
Same 😐
@@sereenalhabsi533 I'm working on that, it can be solved :)
So relatable is this comment section
Oh god, same, it's super exhausting
Same here! It makes me think that I'm an INFJ when in fact I'm just an INTJ with an anxiety.
My motto: Feelings are not arguments.
Robots don't have feelings.
Facts doesn't care about your feelings!
Edit: Feelings doesn't care about your facts!
@@jomergubaton3214 Ben Shapiro is actually an INTJ
I would argue with you because most arguments are subjective and not factual (obviously) or else it wouldn't be an argument
INTP here
I actually disagree with that because feelings, though intangible, still can have very impactful influences through influencing the way people act. Of course, feelings are not fact to anyone but the person who is emoting, but to disregard it as a factor in the way things work would be a grievous oversight.
People are exhausting.
if you combat it with absurdist humor it usually helps to bring them out of their own absurdity
The problem is that people never speak what's on their mind, but talk in unnecessary hints. They read tons of absurd stuff into each word you say. They expect you to read their minds. And they are loud.
Precisely because they're emotional, they are constituted in that way, emotions takes a relevant place in the decision making of those types, therefore and due to the lack of analytical thinking they also are very attached to what inspires certainty, meaning tradition, religion, family values, certain forms of communication or communion with their pears (that often include over reaction) and to live life as "it is".
Everything changes, that's a fact, people that are too emotional or attach to much to the past or the present as if it were constituted by absolute and immutable truths are living the life "as it is" in my opinion. People with empathy not only call for peace and wisdom, they work very hard to seek peace and wisdom in a logical manner, with vision, subordinating feeling to reason and detaching themselves from the current trends when the situation demand it in order to shape a more peaceful future.
MBTI does not shape us at all, as you said we're far more complex, each of us is a unique cocktail, but certainly MBTI describes roughly some predominant aspects in each of us pretty well.
Otherwise I never said that be a particular type is guaranty of success.
You're supposing to much and trying hear tones and read thing between lines that I never said.
I'm not implying nothing, if a person is hopeless or not time will say it not me.
Otherwise yes I tend to be analytical and I'm happy with the results of that in my life.
I'm not attached to certainties, meaning I never close circles, but I seek certainties in life as anybody else, that's the way we define reality, in my case any conclusion to which I arrived can be reevaluated if a better argument came.
The world is indeed beautiful in many aspects and we as humans are far better than in the past so in that regard I'm very optimistic.
Regarding to be subject of influences, I think I'm not or at least I try to not as I suppose you do too.
“Common sense is not a gift, it’s a curs, because you have to deal with all the people that don’t have it”
curse*
"common sense" is the least common of all senses
I understand your pain.
Tell me about it🙁
Common sense isn't common because what you call common is based on your own repetitive actions. Everyone lives different lives with different experiences and varied standards of what is normal.
I'm an INTJ, but am extremely interested in philosophy and human behavior. An analytical mind does not always translate to working with numbers.
Same.
because those topics still have real-life implications.
Same, but interested in literature and languages
Me too
I love psychology as an INTJ, learning more about behavior and better social interaction 😂😂
“Why are they so emotional?” Me every day...
Same
Yes.
Rin 880
*Overly emotional* or reactive. That's what I look at as a little odd, but I'm ok with emotional
Same here. I don’t understand it
We are bad at dealing with our emotions. That's a weakness of architect personality
A true INTJ would question the system itself, as Meyer's Briggs is highly flawed.
Mish. Michelle well not necessarily. I mean, every system, for the most part, is “highly flawed” in that you can’t prove pretty much any underlying assumption. You’ll have to be more specific here than just it’s “highly flawed”. Stating that by itself is not presenting a relevant scale of “flawed-ness”, and therefore just sort of renders your statement moot. What exactly do you mean by that?
I do that
Question all but remember to question yourself.
Edit: Also remember that a flaw is within perfection because perfection is based on an individual perception of said concept. An opinion of a fact more or less. So person A may not like the smell of the flowers but persons B and C do and so its both perfect and flawed merely because ones opinion to anothers. My depiction of the perfect life might be totally different from yours but it doesn't make them any less true or false.
I can’t help wanting it to be updated to include ambivert.
A true INTJ would understand the system and then propose a better system if it was better on some metric. A true INTJ accepts flaws if there's no better alternative and the output is cost benefit better than no systematic assessment.
You know your an INTJ when you have been planning your graphic novel series since 2nd Grade
r/imsosmart
Thats me!
Well not second grade, but starting a year ago!
I've planned it out enough and will begin drawing it in November through February so yep
Not a graphic novel, but just planning a novel, for the last 7 years. It's nothing like it was even a year ago.
No since kindergarden
Me every time I see people: "Why are they so emotional while it won't solve the problem?"
also "why they're so stupid?"

I'm an INTJ and i call in sick to work just to have the entire house/day to myself.
I'll spend the weekend in my house all by myself at times, studying, reading and watching Joe Rogan prodcasts (whenever he has a legitimate scientist on). Step out on Monday feeling 1000%.
This one is so true
So totally true. My line of work requires constant social interaction with clients (which tires me greatly) so I will do so just to recharge: by reading and watching movies and treating myself to a string of things for a full day every once in a while.
I'll reschedule appointments sometimes if I can get the house to myself.
BABAHAHSHAHAHSHAHAAHAH SAME
As an INTJ, I questioned my religion at a very young age and my parents did not like it lol
same i questioned it often, thankfully my parents always answered my questions and told me to come to them when i had any lol
Ah yes, cults. Good luck with that.
@@philippezevenberg1332 religion aren't cults like those satan worshippers.

Facts, it never made sense to me
I'm ENFP. I LOVE this personality type! They can be excellent listeners, I love discussing ideas with them. I have gotten into heated arguments with INTJ's without realizing they thought I sounded crazy because I was emotional, but I thought they sounded psychopathic because they were emotionless xD But there is a healthy, reasonable version of all personalities, and we all have room to grow(me especially) :) Best of luck INTJ's! You're awesome! (Btw this comment sections is other-wordly and terrifying to me but I digress) xD
Your writing looks so 'ENFP'
@@user-m1n3s0t4 true
I am ENFP and my 18-yo son is INTJ.... I really really struggle. He seems to loathe me and all I want to do is be silly and joke around and ask him about his day. I get the worst eye rolling ever! I'm learning...but wow... How do I reach that heart layer of an INTJ?
@@bluemoonyogabecca well
1. Stop joking around bc intjs don’t like if you joke around a lot
@@kateri7404 Maybe INTJs need to lighten up a bit.
"But more or less just detached..." as an INTJ, this 'detachment' was interpreted as sociopathy by some of my friends 😂😂
I've been called narcisist multiple times and robot. Man, I'm just a little bit harsh when giving my opinion!
Mary Ann Nabokov same
They'll understand after we take over the world and everything is in order...
@@TecnocraciaDev Coincidentely, it happened to me too. I've been shamed by a teacher for giving a straight-foward, honest opinion about her class, through a private writing, when she asked it that day in the first place. She then proceeded to accuse me of not having any evidence to back it up and to categorize it as a non-objective opinion, waving the paper somewhat angered back and forth (showing my calligraphy) and telling the entire class that we would learn about that in next year's Psychology class. I decided not to say anything in front of my classmates and again, respecting her job as a teacher, speak to her in private.
She thought I was simply being harsh and angry because I didn't get a good grade in a group exposition (when in reality, I was describing how the lack of opportunities given after these unclear instructions and unpresented student in our group affected all of our performance; and how she didn't even want to take into consideration an important part of the job the latter didn't show that day), whilist justifying herself with my use of 'tone in writing'. I think she didn't realize that an objective opinion (although it can be entirely subjective, who cares if after all it's just an opinion), requieres anything but a sugar-covered use of words. It was simply sincere, had constructive and respectful criticism, and I even clarified on the paper that I still appreciated her job; When I write, I'm very direct, especially being a woman makes it comes of as a little bit harsh...
I was very harsh, of course. I even cried after speaking to her in private and tolerating her cutting me off mid-sentence, angrily saying 'I think you're disrespecting me' and walking away. She excused herself before that by stating, I quote, 'You're a very good student, but you fucked up ('ts actually a similar informal expression in spanish) at some points.'
Weird experience indeed, sorry about the length
@@pulilinda Oh god, I identify with you completely. Not all people are prepared fot listening to the truth, but thanks there are other people that will.
Good video. Not all INTJs are scientist though. Art isn't as subjective as one might think.
Philosophy and theoretical literature can be implemented through self practice.
This is true, but they explicitly use terms like "tend to", or "often", to make sure that it doesn't come across that way, so I'd say they've done all they could to ensure there's no misunderstandings.
True
Edited for better readablility and understanding: When I get stuck on a problem in mathematics or computer science. I take a break and start to draw. Drawing something real (life drawing) , concept or abstract it makes my mind detach from the usual systematic way things are taught and use my own way. So when I go back to finding a solution, I am thinking about it in a totally different perspective. I've noticed that for me at least, using some time drawing somehow helps me learn other material even though I am not interacting with it. The solutions I think about when drawing something like snow falling at night and the street light illuminating it, helps me get my mind into a strong creative state. I have to mentally put myself in the scene to recreate the feel on a paper. It has to give others that same feeling or at least something close to it. This is why I have the highest respect for artist. It took me a while to see what they truly do when they recreate a scene or create concept art. The best example is the artist FZD. When you get a small realization of ( I have yet to fully understand it) what his brain is doing to create a scene from scratch. The thought process he went through to get to that state required pure genius. At the end, in my head what artist, physicists do are pretty much the same. They just have different methods in doing so. I feel as if data science might be the key to bringing the two together if Data Science is used for.. the sciences... and not profits.
+Ratus Cool story, bro.
I read the cool story bro some two weeks ago. I decided not to reply because there is pretty much no way to explain in detail how I learn new things. (I wrote it out but only few would understand it.) You'll have the people who understand and people who don't understand. That's ok because we all have different ways we use our brain to come up with a solution. Like how I had to find a way that I was in a dream to stop myself from bedwetting. The last time I stopped bedwetting was when I was in a dream and there was a toilet in the middle of the desert. It felt so real but then I started to question the scenario I was in. That's when I noticed some inconsistencies in the dream. Noticing I am in a dream came to my advantage because it enabled me to remember my dreams. It also allowed me to dream about what I read before I go to sleep and improve on it. So it's nice going to sleep on a problem and waking up the next day knowing how to do it. My brother on the other hand claims he can't even remember any of his dreams. He even tries to state he doesn't dream at all but that is something I won't believe.
Very good and pretty accurate although I'm personally much more attracted to the arts and design rather then scientific pursuits.
That's how I feel. I could survive in a science, tech, or engineering field, but I'd rather be a writer.
Same!
Followed scientific path but art is in my heart haha
Yes! Me too
Same
intj here, i think idk if i have social anxiety or am just VERY introverted because dealing with people is exhausting but i often find myself taking leader roles - mostly to avoid the hassle of someone telling me what to do or following inefficient plans.. sometimes i avoid looking too "bossy" by "suggesting" ideas to someone who is trying to take a leader role and make them think they're making the decisions :p. also a secondary math ed major lol
As an older INTJ, I realise for the most part of my life I have acted quite insane when it comes to dating. When I was young, I think I was quite naive. I was being too honest and direct with the girls I wanted to date. And even more regrettably, I rejected too many girls whom I thought I didn't like. As I grow older, I have started to value people a lot more and realise what I have missed for not embracing the potential relationships I could have experienced. I hope some younger INTJs may learn from my past.
I'm a INTJ too and I've had a similar experience, but I have no regret over it. If me and a girl in my past ain't compatible, we simply ain't compatible. It doesn't matter what either of our subjective perception of the events is; nothing was lost and there was never potential.
@@devildogkogg8353 Thanks for your reply. I have many regrets though. My mind opened over the years and now I can appreciate the girls I missed. I think you only understand it in retrospect and with age.
eyes of spirit opens when the eyes of the body are closed
You described me perfectly. Ive come to regret how I acted back then. I was always in my own world and purposely isolated or excluded myself. And now that I’m older I value people much more but, theirs hardly any one left in my life to value. I’m more empathetic to people I try to be less cold. But, I dwell on all the missed opportunities I avoided for simply being myself.
I am 48 and I can seriously relate to this. I have recently 'liked' a post for two girls on LinkedIn as a way of reaching out to them. I have thought about sending them a message to apologise.
INTJ are very skeptical people... Just not in this comment section
Hmmmm I doubt that (lol)
I think most INTJs would pass thinking of the right words to make a decent comment that they wouldn't regret and would just not comment, i guess. You know what...forget what I just said, i'm not sure it makes sense.
@@WillMauer you made sense, and your comment deff could've been worded better but you put it up anyway to prove the theory so 👍🏼
What evidence can you provide to back up your idea?
Well, I think there are a lot of fake INTJs here, so I don't really care about the comment section or take it seriously. I'm a female INTJ. I took many different tests a while ago just for curiosity and I found it was quite rare and all. It made sense to me, since being rare has always been a problem to me. To make friends, to "survive the system"... It just feels like I don't fit and it was a serious issue when I was a teenager. Meanwhile I'm seeing a lot of "look at me, I'm rare and original" attitude (that a real INTJ defenitly wouldn't have). Attention whores who just want to feel exclusive.
When you're the only stupid INTJ..
lol
The most stupid INTJ I know is more intelligent than the average population
Self doubt and criticism is normal for a young INTJ.
@Lethal_Trilogy Royale Young INTJ's can behave like an INTP.
Don't act like you know them or their personality type.
Elizabeth Read I personally hate INTP’s they’re nothing compared to our INTJ knowledge. They may challenge us but in the long run INTJs always win against INTPs.
@@venxera They are fun to conversate with at times. We can learn from them like anyone else. They are useful to us even if we are superior.
"You are not entitled to your opinion. You are entitled to your informed opinion. No one is entitled to be ignorant."
Any INTJ should understand this quote on a personal level.
"Death must be so beautiful. To lie in the soft brown earth, with the grasses waving above one's head, and listen to silence. To have no yesterday, and no tomorrow. To forget time, to forgive life, to be at peace."
Oscar Wilde.
Sweet sweet release of death
where are INTJ artists?
search for Theo Jansen on RUclips. that's what INTJ art looks like.
INTJ art is basically engineering.
i can draw realistic but its not as fun as exercising my imagination
Hello. I love drawing cartoons.
INTJ “artists” are basically your creative engineers
I find myself preferring to write more. Also, I try fixing the arts industry instead, creating systems instead.
Obviously all INTJs have differences in their personalities but at a base level, we're all the same. We're all at least one or more of these things at any given time. I used to be exceedingly horrible at expressing myself (I still am), but I've learned to fake it very well. Just adapting to situations as necessary, which is what I think everyone does, which causes deviations in the personality types. But at the end of the day, I'm still logical with a limited emotional spectrum, as are most.
Fuzzy Wuzzy Angels thank goodness I'm not the only one that has to fake...I thought I was a sociopath until I saw this
I don't think we lack emotions, we just understand they are not the solution to any problem. Lacking emotion sounds more like what psychopaths feel, it's just that people are too exaggerated about their own hearts, really, emotions are not something we can't control... just people being exaggerated and giving it more importance than it should have.
7 I couldn't agree more.
Lazy Eye Jones I feel the same, there where times I was worried.
Even though all INTJ differ, deep down we know that we *are* the best... 😉
I consider myself the least emotional person, as well as the softest and most emotional person at the same time.
as an INTJ i wave and smile at people but it's not to make them feel good, it's for me to refine my social skills
INTJ here studying science and philosophy double major-you got the science right not the philosophy. Philosophy questions everything and I, an INTJ, question everything.
Maybe, but they explicitly use terms like "tend to", or "often", to make sure that it doesn't come across that way, so I'd say they've done all they could to ensure there's no misunderstandings.
Are you sure?
I agree with you on the philosophy. .
Skye blue16 What he’s saying is, An INTJ wouldn’t choose Philosophy as a major because INTJs are smart enough to know that a Bachelors in philosophy will do nothing for them career wise. INTJs are supposed to be smart, how did you not understand that? Maybe you’re not a INTJ after all
Skye blue16 I was just thinking that! As an INTJ through and through, I have found quite a bit of enjoyment in my philosophical pursuits (I would hope so, given that I earned a B.A. of Philosophy and am currently pursuing an M.A.). That said, I do have an inescapable attraction toward Science. In fact, my Master's Thesis is concerning the Philosophy of Science from an Epistemological standpoint. Basically, I analyzing/critiquing the Scientific Method (basically empiricism) as a means of producing "knowledge".
Basically its the best of both worlds, by my book!
That said, everything else in this video is accurate.
For those of us INTJs who are not technology or science nerds but tend towards the visual arts (we're rare), I would venture a guess that classical art and architecture is the prevailing preference. You can't get more objectively beautiful than classical aesthetics, since it's governed by mathematics. The same goes for Baroque music.
sorry mate ill have to disagree, i aspire to be a networking specialist, classical art is cool and all but it ain't ma style, anime like characters is the way (my anime character aren't cute or creepy, they're tough lean and mean brouhaha)
I am an INTJ
An Electrical Engineer. . .
I am into both art and science. But not math. Anatomy and fine arts are my thing.
t3331157
Are you sure we're rare. Art feels pretty natural to me. As far as the classical art stuff you're wrong. I'd like to think I can sh*t on all of them, I don't admire it too much. The more realistic they look the more I like it though, but that's about all I appreciate from "classical art". I like every other type of visual art that's out there as long as it's appealing.
I'm an INTJ photographer, and what interests me most, unlike many other photogs, is not stories, or emotions, or moments, but pure aesthetics. Composition, contrast, visual balance, among other things. And also that every technical aspect of the photo is as perfect as possible, such as white balance, focus, motion blur or lack thereof, little to no noise... Make sure there are no obvious mistakes in the framing, and so on... I really really like photography, and I do also find interesting to study science (especially physics, and more so if they relate to optics) on a conceptual level, but as soon as numbers and formulas are involved I lose interest.
When you're an INTJ that likes philosophy 😂
Yeah that one threw me, taking any topic to think through deeply enough, always ends up in philosophy. So I think this part of the vid wrong. Philosophy is deeply abstract and problem solving.
ye same i love philosophy
sameeeee
5w4?
I like history and geography
I have an INTJ personality and I work as a security technician. I like classical architecture, economics, and history. I also enjoy target shooting, exercising, and cycling. I think it is good to remember that personalities are not rigid and people are more a shade of grey rather than black or white.
_Do you know that feeling, when your thoughts surrounds your busy mind, orbiting you, while you are going thru each single thought, diving slowly, reading all the possibilities..._

INTPs also have this trait, they both have tendencies to have a non-stop thought process which is almost impossible to shut down. It's only possible if what's happening outside your head is much more interesting that what's inside, and that happens rarely. Most of the time, even when talking to someone or watching a film, there's some kind of wheel that is rolling endlessly. The speed of that wheel is inversely proportional to the amusement of the outside stimulation, that means that even if the conversation is interesting you will still have a fade thought process in the background. Only something that is extremely interesting, requires full attention, or sheer willpower can stop it for a brief moment. Hell, I even daydream or have random thoughts during sex.
@@EuroukrX yup.. I started think about my person analysis of teachers when I was performing a dance on stage. I realised after the dance that I did some blunders.
Yes, loss of connect to the reality is a huge problem for us and I'm trying hard to find a solution to it but end up doing the same
I take the Myers-Briggs test every year. Have gotten INTJ as a result everytime. I account for 0.8% of the population as a woman and I'm proud of it!👍
It's weird with me. Sometimes I'm INTJ, Sometimes INFJ, and once INFP!
As an INTJ myself it is weird to see you say that you are proud of being an INTJ or any other Myers-Briggs personality type for that matter, you can not be proud of something you did not achieve, you can be thankful or grateful for your genetic composition and the way your neurological connection are but in no way proud.
@@ComradeChams right! You can be glad that you have the personality that you have, but it is in no way an achievement. You have to put in effort to achieve something.
INTJ women mostly have no friends and will die along, right?
@@madamcurieonfire female INTJ here. Few friends but I was once married and I have two adult kids I am very close to
I like the part where he mentioned the planning far into the future to make the environment they want to live and work in. I have a pretty detailed life plan up until 2038. Most of it is work, finances, and real-estate. Literally calculated the different paths I could take to hit my goals as fast as possible, then setup my plan. Only part that I can't plan is a relationship, because I struggle to connect with anyone and can't see it in my future. Instead I just focus on my hobbies and my life goals.
Wow!!!! Sooo me😂😂😂😂 I'm always asking myself, how do people plan to be in relationships?
I've always felt like it's something that'll sort itself out, if that soulmate is out there..🤷🏾♀️
same as you my life literally hobbies then work thats all 😩 dont have relationship w either both fem or male 🤣
Yupp, planned the next 15 years out but forgot that my SO sees things differently.
“Still don’t care bout their feelings” I felt that
Good explanation. Although I should caution that not every INTJ is a genius. I've gone on to personality forums where a disproportionate number of people labeled themselves as INTJs because that personality was the "coolest" and the most "elite" of the personalities. None of the MBTI personalities are necessarily any better than any of the others, though, and just because you think that one personality _sounds_ cool, that doesn't mean that _you_ are that personality. I think that INTJs are awesome, and I have some surface-level similarities with them (highly analytic, trying to devise perfect systems and processes), but I'm definitely not an INTJ.
John Hooyer I’m a INTJ & I hate it .. I can’t relate to people.
Thanks for the reply. I'm an ENTP, and it has its perks. There are many times when it's convenient to analyze a fully argued point of view and get a holistic sense of all of the approaches people can take for solving a problem (I like write stories that paint broad portraits of society and get all of its complexities). However, I also have Asperger's. As an extrovert with Asperger's, life sucks a _looooot._ I also have a hard time committing to things because I become more of a jack-of-all-trades, so it hurts me when I try to get a skilled job. It's also hard to complete a story that I start writing because I get so many different ideas for other stories, and then I get ideas for things that I can research. It's frustrating. I'm just happy that my type isn't particularly fetishized on Personality Cafe.
Very true. Intelligence tends to "waver around" so to speak as well (brain is currently lacking better wording). It's usually based on things like what we know (learned), how quickly our minds operate in things like problem solving and resourcefulness, how open minded we are, how willing to learn we are, and how willing we are to admit we don't know everything. And strangely this can all be effected by how strong our emotions are, as well, and nobody regardless of personality type is truly immune to that. Another thing about the INTJ type, for those who feel they want to learn how to identify it, or even to better understand it, is that one should never rely solely on what they read or hear online (as stereotypes can blind one's mind, and are literally a joke). Not all INTJs will hide their emotions all the time, nor be "grammar nazis". In every aspect of life, there are "typical" things/people, and there are exceptions. For some examples, there's good cops and bad cops everywhere, smart people and dumb people everywhere, and good people and bad people everywhere. A bit simple on that last, but I'm hoping it makes the part before it less confusing, as I tend to have that effect on people
This video didn’t really say all INTJ’s are super intelligent. They just all share a similar thinking pattern
John Hooyer Exactly. I love going on the INTJ forums just to read. Some of them are so arrogant, it's embarrassing. Haha It seems like most of them try really hard to fit the typical INTJ description. Boooring. I've taken the Myer Briggs test several times and always get INTJ. I only half agree with my result because I'm definitely not book smart as INTJs are made out to be. I am "cold" and "analytical" though.
I don't see why some INTJs NEED to brag about being one. 🤮
the creators of this video seem to not understand philosophy when saying the INTJ's seem not to prefer it. as an INTJ, I have tried so many things in my life while ultimately coming to the conclusion that my goals where pointless in all of them, so there is only philosophy in the end game of a true INTJ.
Roger Syversen TRUE.
Elon Musk (an INTJ) was a fan of Philosophy. Even I.
Philosophy gave me a framework to classify the "rest of the bumbling morons" I'm stuck living with in this life... I still look for the "Mother Ship" to circle back around because _this test pattern_ became mute looooooong ago...
You described an existential nihilist, not philosophy or INTJ's. That branch of philosophy might appeal to us, but that does not mean we're all existential nihilists or that we all have an interest in philosophy. I fit into those and I'm an INTJ but two examples does not a rule make
Nihilism sucks. The ubermench shall be the meaning of the earth.
As an INTJ, I usually hate socializing. I only care about my grades. I always felt that socializing is a waste of time. I mean, hypothetically, I enjoy alone time and self care.
that's me lol I would rather stay home.
As an INTJ, I found this analysis hit-or-miss. Some things definitely apply; others, not so much. I suppose it's all in the realm of intra-type variability.
Well, most people are a mix of different personality traits. I think it's rare to find someone who fits 1:1 to a very specific personality type.
4 mins and still one of the best videos on INTJs
I know there’s no “best” type, but can we all just agree this is the best type? 😂
As an INTJ, I agree
no it isn't. i don't think there's anything to take pride in strong Te or Ni because everyone's level on these scales vary drastically. (also gives me anxiety). no 2 INTJs are same so how is a type "best" if it can't be standardised. ;)
Yes, coming from an INTJ myself
Of course we can't.
You’re right, I don’t think any type is best. Not even on relative level as you meant. I am INTJ and I am good at certain things but many aspects I am poor at.
Bro you literally just explained me. I’m definitely one of these. The science, thought processes, not fitting in etc, you showed it perfectly which I’ve never been able to put into words. I feel better knowing I have an answer to why my brain works the way it works
I'm an INTJ and while I did study engineering, I'm more interested in music and philosophy. Because I'm an atheist, I struggle with creating purpose knowing there isn't one. The only thing keeping this issue from swallowing me whole is studying philosophy and having creative outlets.
Edit: Wow, I completely forgot this post was a thing. I want to address some of the replies that are now too old to reply to directly.
*Hi A.J. I studied Psychology. I want to recommend you to watch The Case for Christ movie...*
I've been down that rabbit hole already. Was raised Christian, and I believed until I had my wits about me (around age 16). Learned as much as I could about religion and the arguments against it (I already had the arguments for). I've been an atheist for about 13 years now. There's nothing that a human being could say to me to convince me the Christian (or any other man-made) god exists. There may be some kind of entity out there, but I don't think something of that kind of unimaginable capability would need us to inflate its ego through worship. Not to mention how narcissistic that god would have to be to have literally invented us for the purpose of worshiping it. Let's also not mention the literally insane threat of eternal torment if we didn't partake in its narcissistic games...
*You don't know there isn't one, you assume there isn't one.*
That's accurate, technically. I think it's a safe assumption, considering I've seen precisely zero indication that any objective purpose exists. After thousands of years, humans haven't been able to locate it.
*...I respect the values religions bring though.*
Fair enough. I don't at this point. It's one of those things where it's totally cool with me as long as they keep it to themselves. Unfortunately, that's not how it works on the whole. It will always leak into public policy. I'm not sure what positive values come out of religion that couldn't have been arrived at otherwise. They are man-made values after all. The best parts of Christianity in my opinion come out of Stoic thought. Best to just read the Stoics.
*I used to wonder why the idea of a christian INTJ seemed so absurd to some people (I have had people question me quite a lot). From my understanding it can partially be traced to the fact that there is so much in religion that goes unexplained. Would you say that's true, or am I just blowing hot air?*
INTJs tend to be analytical. They tend to need proof that supports a claim before they adopt that claim as true (or at least the closest thing to the truth they've found so far). There is not only no proof that a god exists, there are plenty of reasons to believe the panoply of modern gods that humans worship doesn't exist. Obviously, the claim that a god exists isn't falsifiable. So really it's a waste of time to argue the point if you value the scientific method as a means to make sense of our experience of reality.
*I hope the philosophy takes, because "knowing" there is no purpose has been explored by the finest minds. It seems you are emotionally attached to the idea you know there is no purpose, but please use your intellect and passion to be humble enough to accept there are a lot of possibilities. Too many people mistake their unhealthy detachment for being intj, wanting what they see as power, because they are afraid of vulnerability that comes with intimacy. If a person has healthy attachments and connections they are less likely to experience these things. You may have depression. Take care.*
I absolutely was emotionally attached to the idea at the time. I still, of course, assumeeeee there's no objective purpose. But I've realized that the idea of being yoked to an objective purpose from birth would be some form of fatalistic slavery. Seems to me that if one values freedom as I do, we kind of have it made. There's absolutely nothing about an objective purpose that makes death more tolerable, unless you believe in the afterlife. I wish I did. The intimacy stuff wasn't incorrect. I'm in a place now where I feel very free to express everything openly. The big thing there was learning about mindfulness and detaching from that old fiction, the ego.
*When people around you start talking about religion and your just so confused because your agnostic*
Classically, agnosticism itself isn't a position you can take on a particular topic except for knowledge in general. Colloquially, people think it means you don't know either way so you kinda stay out of the mix. Frankly, the only SANE position regarding religion is agnosticism. Anyone who can claim to KNOW there is a god is deluding themselves. That's why faith is seen as so important: it's all ya got when your god has a frustrating hands-off policy with his peons or when he simply doesn't exist. The question is are you an agnostic atheist or an agnostic theist? There's no middle ground. Either you believe in something or you don't. And I'll go a step further to mention that to be an atheist, you only have to lack a belief in a god. It doesn't necessarily mean your claim is that there isn't one.
Hi A.J. I studied Psychology. I want to recommend you to watch The Case for Christ movie... a story of former atheist. You may also read the book "Life.. How did it get here? By evolution or creation?
My purpose in life (as an atheist) is achieving fulfillment for myself.
You don't know there isn't one, you assume there isn't one.
The purpose of life is to live it.
I'm an INTJ and was raised in a pretty religious family (not strict) but went to catholic school pretty much from 1st grade to high school. I believe there is a higher "deity" or entity but I don't believe in worshipping thus I prefer philosophies more because I think religion is a breeding ground for extremism and for people to find a reason to do bad things. I respect the values religions bring though.
I took the MBTI test several times throughout the years and I always result being an INTJ, at the beginning I thought it was meaningless, but the more I grow up the more I see that the description of this personality fits me perfectly.
This was incredibly informative. It really helped me create my intj character and gain more of an insight into the way he thinks. Thank you so much!!
This was the most accurate video I have seen on the type. At least in how I use those functions. Almost every point you made I have specifically thought about or mentioned to someone else in response to them questioning me on motive etc. I especially agreed with the format you gave for planning of top down as that’s how contingencies are prepared. Overall great analysis and breakdown!
-INTJ
Great job! A lot better than the last video that kind of portray us to be scheming jerks.
Don't say "us", it's not like you've suddenly entered some sort of club. :/
So what word would you use that will get the same point across so I can claim that you're trying to enter a club
"INTJs" seems like the way to go, chief. Alternatively, how about "them"? I dunno, seems like those might work.
Don't say "INTJ", it's not like you've suddenly entered some sort of club. :/
And I did not want to use "them" because I'm an INTJ. Which is why I used "us" :/
I'm very sorry, Brian, but it looks like you're slightly missing the point, there. The reason I originally commented, was because I have a problem with people including themselves into a large body of millions and millions of people, who, despite having scored the same type, are bound to be different and in some cases, very different from each other, just as a matter of probability. Due to these differences, it's not legitimate to do this, it's analogous to saying _"as an atheist"_ , or _"as a black man"_ or something along those lines and it's done when people say "us", so as to suggest that they're part of or represent a group. This is also why, when you change the word to "INTJ" or "them", instead of "us", this criticism no longer applies.
INTJ here. My ability to devise systems borders on Autism, but it's made me successful in life.
Very nice! I presume you are an INTJ-T? Until I got to college I was also very good at intuiting science-related things, however now it’s just endless studying that gets the concepts in my head.😐
I’m an INTJ with autism my dude.

How dare you bring out Spock he is an istj
I truly detest when people assume personality types of others. Personality types can't be observed, this is why they have personality tests. There may be moments of their lives which contradict your guesses. If someone took the test and announced it one way or the other, that's fine, but people who were born and died before Jung was born is ridiculous to label. At least say "May be an INTJ (or whatever personality type you suspect)" and "confirmed INTJ (or other)" when it isn't supposition.
Yes, I'm an INTJ.
@@Leon-wz1js Lol, whatever. I type people all the time. WHY do you think MBTI exists? In part, to tell someone's communication style. Why do you think that might be useful? I also like knowing when someone's an ENFP, INFP or INTP (some of my favorite types), or is an ISFJ: the type that can (and does) cause a lot of grief for others. I also like knowing when someone's "N" last, so I can avoid them if possible, as we won't connect. These are all useful things.
INTJ
I loved the part about INTJ’s being interested in theoretical aspects of science, but not necessarily philosophy. I spend a great deal of time questioning the “bigger picture” of what the universe really is, and tend to shy away from philosophy. The nature of reality and consciousness also interests me greatly.
It’s nice to see other INTJ females as well. 🤗
I am an INTJ and this video described me and the way I function PERFECTLY. Well done :)
I can solve problems and build complex things with logic. Emotions are the polar opposite. The more logical, the more stable and reliable the outcome. The more emotional the less stable and reliable the outcome.
CJ Lamprecht how do you explain complex relationships between people with logic? Or the complex emotional patterns that exist within you? Even if you don’t feel them strongly, they are likely somewhere within you, just being suppressed. Emotions are highly useful in both self-psychoanalysis, and analysis of other people. It’s a fascinating “plane” of life to explore, in my opinion.
You're speaking in puzzle pieces.
@@renjaecks1522 yes, your words sounds right. Emotions are necessary to understand others although logic can offer more stable solution to some problems.
Yet you fail to understand that there is no such thing as an emotion-logic-dichotomy.
@@renjaecks1522 throwing complex around is a way for people to escape reality. Emotions are not complex at all. That's why as a writer, you can make people feel lots of things. You cannot manipulate something that is complex because it's a waste of time. You can only do that with the simple things that emotions and feelings really are.
as an intj myself, this ABSOLUTELY IS THE MOST DEAD ON video on my cognitive processes AND how they operate in most social environments.
it is like you know me without even knowing/meeting me.
AMAZING.
ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL work on your assessment here.
BRAVO.
Yes, I am emotionally detached from others, but I understand their perspectives. I feel deep, but I don't trust other people's intentions, hence why I am emotionally detached to protect myself. I love figuring out problems and I am very much inside my head. I prefer to be the lead because I don't trust anyone else is as detail oriented as I am. I think ahead about consequences before action, down to the minute detail. I am observant to my environment. I am in the medical and legal field, which requires scrutiny to divulge an answer to a problem. I am very much an INTJ, deep down to the core. Only downside is that I have a difficult time finding friends who understand me. My honesty is uncompromising, which might be insensitive. But the truth is what matters. Objective over subjective. Although, I understand people have emotions, which I tread carefully, but at the same time, am I supposed to hold back my complete honesty for the sake of the greater good? I'll try, but don't count on it ;D
We need y’all for progress! Thanks guys!
Intx123 Every personality is good at somethings and bad at other stuff. We are not so good with our own emotions for example...
intx123 to teach you too not get full of yourself, and let you know saying stuff like that is wrong. Balance
intx123 Your last comment is fantastic, second to last? Not so much. You need a little more finesse, stop giving us INTJ'S a bad name. I can be blunt to but Jesus. Tone it down a little.
But yeah I agree; we're bad at expressing emotions but that's not necessarily a negative thing. Not expressing mine DOES make me feel more mature, as emotions distort your sense of reality. Emotions are sometimes irrational. They make things messy.
intx123 your right, I was just trying to be nice.
We appreciate the comment. I'm currently starting a political podcast so more people can be informed on current issues happening in my country and around the world. I also want to inform people of certain ideas I have dealing with things such as gun control. People think I'm cold at first but they eventually find out that I'm much more caring than they initially believed.
Well you are absolutely an intj ,when you are thinking about investing in stock market from high school!!
The stock market is volatile
OMG same! I was recently thinking about investing in stocks and real-estates.
The audio quality is phenomenal.
The information is equally good.
As an Aquarian/INTJ This perfectly describes me. Wow. I have a rubix cube literally sitting in my work bag. Lol. On top of books. Lol. Im obsessed with learning about philosophy, history, science, religion and anything else substantive. I love being an INTJ and I love anything associated with growth and improvement. Growth physically, spiritually and mentally. I love writing short stories and creating music as well. Awesome vid. Thanks!
Much smoother animation than before. Nice.
I agree, the voice is more lively as well :-)
I recently found out my boss is this personality type, and it makes SO much sense. As an INFJ, I am so very different to him and never understood him. I felt he lacked empathy and thought him selfish and cold. After talking to him a little more, and after reading about his type, I've started to see things a bit differently. He's actually really witty and cares deeply about his job, something I can admire. I will never fully grasp his personality because he is also a bit of a douche but at least I know a little more and can find some common ground with him
As an INFP, I actually find INTJ extremely interesting. I have a friend who's an INTJ and I was searching for something that could help me understand her a little bit more. This helped me a lot, thanks!
Same
Funny how INTJs are always depicted as men in suits with glasses and not women studying in sweat pants (me atm)
Caroline Soares well, INTJ females are about 50% rather than INTJ males. However you are right that it’s weird that there aren’t many depictions of INTJ females. There should be imo as well.🤷♂️
I get what you mean but that is almost always how people will depict smart people. It's also good to note that an INTJ personality type is one of the rarest (about 2-3% of the population while women are about .8%) personality types so they don't have a lot to go off of even when there are literally billions of people in the world.
Hope this helped even if I'm not the most knowledgeable person one the subject
A true INTJ wouldn't care how they are portrayed
@@renjaecks1522 Female INTJs aren't the 50% of INTJ population. In fact, the entire total of INTJs are the 2% of the people, being females only the 0.8%. So yeah, INTJs are usually portrayed males because of facts. Also, as a female INTJ myself I don't find the portrait important. It's just an icon.
@@B14cken Naaah fuck that, a lot of smart people don't make money at all, especially there in America's crappy economy. Do you know how much astrophycists are literally starving? These despictions are simply convenient.
For many years I thought I was an INTP or ISTP. However I never actually knew, I would spend hours reading MBTI to try to figure out my type. I read every type description including INTJ, but I could relate to almost every one, some more than others. How I had an epiphany I was an INTJ when I realized for years I had considered every possible type and done as much research as possible, exactly what an INTJ does. I confused my introverted intuition for introverted think, because I really do spend most of my time in my head while simultaneously interacting with the environment.
The Myers Briggs test should be given to every child so that they might have insight into why they are " different ' .
I deeply admire INTJs. The way they are able to think analytically, and control their emotions.
I’m more of a creative/imaginative thinker, and I often despise systems and standardized environments. It makes me feel trapped, in a weird way. I never thrived in school because I can’t stay focused on topics for a long time. I was the kid who doodled in the back of their notebooks. It was the only I could avoid feeling like a slave to my school work.
I've done this test 2 years ago and got INTJ.I couldn't really believe it since it's so rare especially for women,but then I took the test again a few days ago and I got the same result.Its actually very scary how accurate this is.
I love being an INTJ
[AX]Oblivion Guard This clearly shows u aren't one.
+Stranger surge +sof This clearly shows that both of you dumbshits, as well as the person who made the original post, are not psychologists and should shut the fuck up. :)
+sof Wow, well, I sure didn't think I'd be saying this, but I actually agree with you, in the sense that people who are into this MBTI stuff, particularly on RUclips, take it way too seriously, viewing everything through the lens of their test results. As for the types, as unbelievable as it might sound, there actually is a substantial amount of evidence to prove their validity, which isn't to say that their significance, again, isn't _hugely_ overstated by people who like to make these little RUclips videos about them.
We are the master race
Not me, because everyone seems to be happy while you aren't.
Spot on, I would love nothing more than to ponder upon a technical discussion and delve into the different approaches through careful thought with that being said, technical advancements in humanity would never advance without the humane aspect of our knowledge such as history and art which are our means of documentation and would certainly improve the ability to provide more effective technical solutions. Keep up the good work!

Aww you INTJs 😂
Hurts😂
I just took the tests and am INTJ. Found this link and listened. My 1st thought is how can this be so accurate? This is actually a pretty perfect description of me. I'm in Engineering and own my own company. Pretty much fit exactly all the other traits mentioned. Showed all of this to my grown children and they laughed about how accurate it was giving me examples over our lifetimes together which made us all laugh. Really interesting. It's nice to finally be understood. :)
Im not really "emotionless" but i think it's just too "cheesy" or "corny" idk
In making a decision I choose to not put to much emotion in to it but iv been told that need to
Feeling that something is cheesy or corny is emotional in itself
Pretty accurate. "Why are people so illogical!?"
I'm so glad there's a channel like IDR Labs around, a source that is _at least_ likely to be reliable, with real, true information to back up their claims and no vague guesses or anecdotal evidence, like what is often presented by MBTI lovers on RUclips, as conclusive, established data about their own type, while, in reality, it often amounts to little more than arbitrarily selected traits that they may see in themselves, or in others and have decided to assign to their type. This is what I personally find very frustrating about these RUclipsrs, so I really appreciate a channel like this one!
LMFAO! I did this four letter personality test a few times, years ago. I had to do it more than once because I had a friends who had a hard time with me being allowed to be a "mastermind". It was just a title of a group so I spent that time laughing at her jealousy and not really thinking about the test. I just thought of this today and decided to find what RUclips has to say on it and this video is pretty spot on :D. Im a nurse because I liked the science and I have not pursued becoming a doctor because I see much of it as a waste of time getting societal approval. The work comes first (haha "does it work?" could be a mantra of mine). It's really amazing how accurate this can be. Thanks :)
This captures me perfectly. Thank you.
wonderful video for the intj especially when putting guys like nietzsche and heraclitus into the video who are also intjs

@Mistorin You? You don't even make sense
@Mistorin I think Fi users are more edgy than INTJs
(Fi dominant users)
People always say to me
"Are u angry?"
Mostly i am lost in my thoughts with straight face.
This is all 1 million percent true. Wow, I feel so understood by this video. You really nailed it. Great job.
This is super accurate for me.
Makes sense as to my general existence as an INTJ. Now if only I weren't so depressed...I might actually get things done.
Very depressed. When you venture to understand the world, and you actually learn so much about it, sometimes you wish you hadn't.
Your video has been transformational.
People often asked me why am I not smiling,I told them that it's exhausting
This was very well done and explained!
... after they messed it up the last time.
I think the rising numbers of INTJ's is due to things such as the internet. Knowledge is more widespread, so this will naturally cause some individuals to become obsessive over it. The biggest weakness in this is that it will develop large egos, which is why INTJ's need to calm the superior attitude and replace it with pure ambition for a purpose. Ego is always an enemy, but it could harm INTJ's in an extreme as it would cloud the logic and understanding they have.
Have you read "Hard Times" by Charles Dickens? The father essentially conditions the kids to be emotionless and rational. So as much it is a result of society, family can heavily influence it as well. I can relate since my dad just stripped me of all colors, so for the past few years I've been in a phase of INTJ.
I become INTJ before internet just because of books and curiosity to learn something. And to be in good terms with other people I must act as if I am not so smart and more like they, but after some years I sincerely sick of it and not gonna push me down just to give them feeling we are all normal
Yodeling Muppet
I've always been objective never about "superiority". If I feel like I'm smarter than someone I might be tempted to say just that if the topic is intelligence, mainly for the fact that its true and nothing else. Objectivity. A lot of the people going on with this "superiority" stuff and people being "feelers" just sound like psychopaths to me. Being arrogant usually doesn't end well and I think most intj's know that or eventually they learn that at some point in their lives
Trust me, even though the Internet is full of great knowledge, it is also very full of BS
MBTI types are established by the early teens. They are unchanging in the course of your life.
INTJs are very good at determining what they know and don't know. That isn't arrogance and it certainly isn't ego. It's a repudiation of nonsense in favor of fact.
As an INTJ, we are weird creatues. We're introverted, but we can turn on our extroverted side when it benefits us. We also spend way too much time in our heads either planning things out or just thinking about things that interest us.
I would argue that many INTJs love philosophy sort of as a way of understanding why we are like this or understanding other people. Some things can’t be proven with straightforward sciences. Most INTJs (including myself) use philosophy as a tool to use to better question things (like when you used the face of nietzche in the video). This video was very accurate almost creepily so
As an ENFJ, there's so much to learn from INTJs 🙏
As an ESFP... I think I’ve found my opposite
Well you know what they say....opposites attract and all that ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I'm an ENFJ-T, my best friend is an INTJ-T. I'm beginning to understand her much better! We've known each other since 2nd grade and we were so inseparable as kids, but she moved away for a few years and since then, we've been a bit more distant while remaining very good friends. As an extrovert, I love talking about surface level things AND emotions, but I also greatly value deep conversation. She has walls up and I don't necessarily know how to get closer, but I try every now and then to discuss deeper things with her. I'm glad that I'm getting a better grasp of how she thinks and feels now
This is INSANE how accurate this is!!!!!! I get INTJ every time I take the test and this gives me chills from start to finish as it describes me perfectly. I think this personality test is the one single most interesting and accurate thing to even come out of psychology
I'm an INTJ but I enjoy philosophy or sociology more than natural sciences. Even my college major is Law and I adore my major. Besides that I do agree with other characteristics they have shown.
Especially the thing with emotions. People amazes me every day.
