Thus far I've found about 60% or more of the people on this board are hamfisting themselves into an INTJ box and it's unfortunate.
But given how many people either don't really know themselves to begin with, either due to being young and still figuring things out or being obnoxious edge Lords trying to conform to an idea of themselves, I supposed it's to be expected. INTJ is a rather tricky subgroup because observers often fail to understand the nuances behind our motivations and ways of thinking (there are a few types who are far more adept at reading us and those tend to be the ones we resonate with the most.)
I consistently type as an ENTP because that's my public persona (partially due to neurodivergence). I've recently begun actually typing my functions myself and going through every individual types stack and possible ways of thinking and came to this conclusion. It adds up with my life lol.
I get so annoyed when people say that I don’t know myself that well, or that people don’t know themselves well. Speaking for yourself exists for a reason. I understand that people are trying to get for walking dunning Krueger effects or people that just don’t introspection. But I find that I have a deep level of self-understanding, one that isn’t going to be questioned just because some troll says that I “can’t be sure”. At some point the sum of your experience and knowledge will tell you if you truly know yourself.
cant tell if its because im woozy off my meds but i have no idea what youre talking about? did you take my comments personally?
i was saying that people do know themselves, mbti tests fail in comparison to peoples own ability to introspect, research and discern for themselves what type they are, since they are.. yk, Themselves. thats all there is to it man
Oh no sorry😂 I was awake for about 30 hours by the time I wrote that so obviously it didn’t make any sense. I was agreeing with your point and extrapolating from my personal experience. Yes, I agree that we do know ourselves better than limited tests and arbitrary metrics. It just annoys me when people try to undermine that, you know? Obviously, there are people who think they know themselves yet don’t, e.g. the Dunning Krueger effect. But the fact that I know what that is and can see it in other people suggests that I am not a victim of it. So yeah, I hope that made a little more sense😂
LMAO yeah i can see how the exhaustion caused you to jumble your words together, but to your defense i did see your point there! it was just a little foggy. glad to see you got some rest since you write much more coherently now lol
but yea, i wish people trusted themselves more with this whole typology stuff instead of taking a 1000 personality tests, even if some do fall victim to the dunning krueger effect (you didnt), i believe researching and reflecting with a broad-minded attitude is its best remedy :D
That's what I have tried say all along it's more based
How much you know you like your preference experiences troubles etc. Your post made my day ❤ thank you. I agree with your statement.
Although I like the saying let's agree to disagree it's a mutual way of saying to give others space understand their own problems rather than you sort there problems and feel a sense false security do to the fact you do everything for you rely on them to much however it's also foolish be to independent because yo unforgettable how to rely on eachother which can affect the people around you have a sweet day ;).
Hi everyone, I’m a young and (not to sound conceited) very attractive INTJ woman, but I find it incredibly hard to open up to people or trust them. It’s not that I’m antisocial—I love meaningful conversations—but it feels like so few people truly understand me or match my depth. On top of that, I find very few people sexually attractive, which makes dating even harder. Lately, I’ve been struggling with happiness and feeling like I might need some inner healing or growth before I can connect with others. Has anyone else dealt with this? How do you work on yourself while balancing relationships, or even decide when you’re ready to let someone in? Would love to hear your thoughts.
Addition - I think my trust issues are compounded by the fact that many men with girlfriends or wives will openly flirt with me, which makes it hard to feel secure in people’s intentions. I also find that most people will change who they are to fit what they think I like, rather than showing me their authentic selves. It’s difficult to find someone who truly values me for who I am at my core
I understand her. I go through the same thing. I've always had doubts about my mbti, but I go through the same things. What do I do? I isolate myself. It's not healthy at all
Pretty sure subconsciously you know you know you’re not where you want to be at in life to feel like you’re ready for a relationship. I would’ve theorize you fell for the romanticism of the common portrayal of relationships. I also theorize that you create subconsciously these relationship problems you are having when you know because you stated in your question you are the one having these problems which is great you realized it but when it came to the why it seems the focus isn’t on you as much as others (not in a bad way, as things can be on you and others and that’s just the way it is) but definitely self reflect more would be my advice.
I have the same problem but with women, and to top it all off I’m a cynical asshole. Glad to see I’m not the only one who suffers with the modern bullshit that is the current dating world.
I’m seventy. You will never escape thinking and speaking about things that are so intelligent and in-depth you will lose Most people you will ever meet. We are so rare, I’ve not found another to befriend in my entire life.
So we learn to keep quiet to keep others from thinking we are arrogant. They think we believe we know an important aspect of everything; because we do. You won’t get a response that, clearly, you are a polymath, which you will eventually become.
How do I dish my poop out without using any objects or my hands? Or my mouth actually cause last time it was yucky yucky doo doo splish splash and I got it all over my face. I had poo poo stuck in my eye cry
You invent a toilet motion detector that activates the toilet if you move enough (It probably already exists).
Absurd paranormal activities such as creating portals through motion sensors or brain neurochips or genetic remodeling on steroids or the power to rewrite reality.
By different you mean separate individuals with dry humor, the inability to have casual small talk with random people for no reason whatsoever and the judge for better utilizing our time? Maybe I'm only speaking for myself? I highly doubt it and rarely am I wrong....
Even for an INTJ female and her questionable existence still being explored by few.
Well I was really on the verge of converting but now that you're pressuring me I'll probably get cold feet and go back to fun shit like porn and booze and premarital sex with multiple women.
And bacon. God I love bacon.
Alright, you've talked me out of it. No way can I convert to islam. Thanks friend.
Your question might have been solved by now (since it has been, you know 4yrs) but I'm still going to answer. Normal mobile Reddit users don't get previews but there are certain different apps that give previews.
Thank you sir. I know this comment is 152 days old, but it satiated my curiosity that would have quickly grown to a ravenous covetous rage had it not been quickly quenched. It is not an over exaggeration to say you quite literally saved my life, because this would have made me stay up all night researching why, leading to sleep deprivation that would lead to my death in a car accident when I drove for the day.
What🤠
How do I get flare (INTJ male - 30s)
I see your dreams have come true.
How did you get?
If on the desktop, the right side of the screen here. Under "About Community" below "create post" there is a "user flair preview" click the pen.
70
8 5
I don't know. I think I am just doing it the way I have always done it.
why these motherlovers delete my post. why in the hell sake am joining this platform? are they kidding?
Yay
Searching intj 5w6 as ia recommended for me because i'm too much for others
From an INTJ to an INTJ, I would say, Just stop being right forehead.
😆👌
Wait tho the 2nd rule is no pictures of text which is what this post consists of so is this post breaking the rules already?
Lol - I missed that. Though, a link to a picture is maybe not the same thing?
I was going to comment this, too.
You have talked my mind in this very moment.
Just tell automod to remove every post or comment with emojis, problem solved.
The automoderator does remove many posts that break the rules.
This post is to help mobile users, who don't see the sidebar and may be unaware of the sub rules, FAQ, and Wiki.
Boring..
What
😆😆😆 u guys and gals just don't know.
Can I please have flair (INTP)
INTJ dont request, they conquer what s theirs.
May I ask why are posts not allowed?
Because it's off topic for this forum.
I'm new here and apparently old... What does INTJ mean?
INTJ life is a blessing and curse.
I expected nothing less from my people.
Really? No memes? Lame.
Same thoughts😣.
INTP has sweet memes
Even four years later, this is still true.
sadly
Wait... Is it an INTJ thing to hate memes? Is that why I'm like this? lol.
no it’s not.. that doesn’t make any sense
This community goes by the stereotypical INTJ lol
No
Do Gifs count?
I think so 😐
Rules must be made by an INTP
the INTP's Se blindness didn't prevent them from using Memes and Images
you are fun to make me happy not sad at you if you make me mad I go to hit you if you do not make I mad at you
Do you think also that nobody understand you ?
Dammit, i cant speak like a normal INTJ beacuse the people is going to think: you are crazy man...
Why the fuck intj board have rules ?
some semblance of order is necessary for proper discussion, and they are pretty loose rules
But u a dark lord u should prefer chaos
ok
How do I flair myself as INTJ-Female on mobile?
there are no intj females
Booooo
INTJ personality type is too mascilune to exist in a female
they all must be mistyped INFJs or INTPs
(joking obviously)
Yooooo Happy cake day my dude :D
I'm a female INTJ-A.
You must be trolling me
it comes from my guts, that it is against the very nature of females to have a soul
,inb4 b&
There are INTJ females but not alot 🙃
just replying to say that I am one of them idk what this guy was on about
Same
He was talkin wumbo talk. I am an INTJ female person as well. unfortunately 🫣 happy halloween 👻
im way late but how did u do it
Shouldn’t you be on the side of self problem solvers ? Isn’t that what this is all about, and you could not solve a posting problem ?
huh?
Clicked on my own profile from a comment and there was an option to change my flair
Been looking for this advice, thank you
damn 3 months old comment and u responded almost immediately, W person
i still havent figured it out yet tho (on pc)
edit: i found it nvm it was on a sidebar or smthn
Wait how do you do it Im kinda stupid with apps on phones. I know this comment is old. Can you dm please 🥺
click on ur name so like not ur pfp but ur name thingy and there should be a bar that says change user flair and that’s it
thank you kind person and happy halloween. stay safe and take care
Thank you so much
ent
ive been working out with two men on irc today
So did all of us just skip reading this? (intj)
scoring INTJ on mbti tests does not necessarily mean you are actually an INTJ
tests dont know you like you know yourself
Damn I really needed this because I've been soo confused oml

Same, I’ve done the test and either get INTP or INTJ, so I see the nuance in the test results as a weird problem.
Yeah, I've also typed as like - ESFJ INFP a few times
Chances are you don't know yourself too
how are those the chances im gone 💀💀
What i mean is there is a possibility you don't know yourself too Humans are very self deceiving
of course theres a possibility i could be wrong, however, its much more reasonable to assume i know myself better than some tests
I get so annoyed when people say that I don’t know myself that well, or that people don’t know themselves well. Speaking for yourself exists for a reason.

Not exactly sure how I found myself back here at 5:26am when I should be sleeping, but I just realised that your name is baguette. That’s hilarious.

This gal is a dude yall
Heal yourself buddy, remember how people treat you is more a reflection of them.
I understand her. I go through the same thing. I've always had doubts about my mbti, but I go through the same things. What do I do? I isolate myself. It's not healthy at all

I feel intjs do that. Fascinated in the image of an intj as a thinker in a room
Guess what? Major struggle with trust issues here too. But it's almost always related to childhood traumas. Sorry. , 😟
Understandable, I think you can pretend as you trust them and think of a strategy to protect yourself when they stab you in the back
I can relate with it,i m an INTJ too
I have the same problem but with women, and to top it all off I’m a cynical asshole. Glad to see I’m not the only one who suffers with the modern bullshit that is the current dating world.

i wanna flare myself
How do I dish my poop out without using any objects or my hands? Or my mouth actually cause last time it was yucky yucky doo doo splish splash and I got it all over my face. I had poo poo stuck in my eye cry
What the fuck? I accept the challenge:
Why isn’t this community allowing posts wtf
Because the rules were written by some boring fucknut who has opted to be the fun police.
How do I get a cool flair that says I’m an INTJ - Femme ?
If you are on mobile, please read the sidebar

Wdym?
He means he is in awe of your personality traits which are quite different from the 'others'
These are the most unnecessary rules 😂
Nah I fk with them pretty hard
For some reason I cannot post. Was I removed?
Just kidding I think it’s my phone I blame!
!! I’m so sorry to hear that. I hope you’ll get to post again soon. I think you’re awesome!
Thanks

This helps with a question I just asked — The links I will use! Thanks
How dare this sub not make me put my custom flair?!
Sadly this subreddit rules gives off ESTJ vibes more than unhealthy ESTJs themselves
INTJ L sadly :(

Your "No Memes" example leads to a dead link. Might I suggest replacing it with this?
I happily got rick rolled🤣.

Marry me
I think this will work!
Fell right into that trap...
Lol 😂😂😂 I cackled
Ah, so INTJs don't all have same humor.
Lol we're on mobile. We get a preview
still counts
We do? I don't.

I'm still gonna stay up all night anyway.
You still up? Find out anything new?
I'm so tired...
No time for sleep. We gotta keep typing.

My key takeaway from that video is that a human being born genetically identical to you is more likely than shuffling a predetermined deck of cards.
In case you needed to know how to turn a sphere inside out
As my brain glitches out in response to pure logical befuddlement, I think to myself, “Who do I know that might be interested in such a thing?”
Oh my god you are soooo sexy
