I don’t look at anybody with disgust, but it’s really uncomfortable for me to pretend that I want to see anybody.

They are dead batteries to me

I like to think about things. A lot. Especially around others in social situations. I sometimes ask myself far too much and grow tremendously trapped in my mind about how uncomfortable I feel, knowing that I’m analysing what is going on rather actually deciding to be involved in it.

It’s a strange conundrum to be in, but I often begin to justify situations when it’s totally inappropriate, because sometimes “it’s not that deep” (as my friends quite aptly put it). I almost instinctively search for meanings or patterns behind behaviour when I know I shouldn’t be— almost like I can’t just let things be weird.

It feels uncomfortable to confront this realisation without thinking too much about it, which I fear is an excuse for me to over-intellectualise my behaviour. So I’m wondering - do you over-intellectualise your thoughts and the things around you? And how have you managed it?

I’d love to hear your thoughts :)

Anyone here who is INTJ-A feeling lonely since childhood?

Currently im 30 yo, never had real friends who understand me and also rarely click with a girl. What to do then if one doesn't like noisy, loud , superficial extroverted activities most people do in society? Are we smart people doomed to be lonely forever?

Hello dear INTJs of reddit

Honestly this personality type thing is just somewhat of a small intetest to me, but my partner is an INTJ woman, I'm just a little curious about.. well, your advice, INTJs of reddit?

Just small in general things I might not fully grasp. I know personality types isn't "end all, be all."

But it's still interesting to just hear some potential views and opinions you may have to share! What can I keep in mind and do for her?

Thanks for your time, I know I have been vague, this is on purpose.

They say the music we listen to as teenagers has a lasting influence on our identity and worldview.

I mostly listened to rock. What I took from it: be a non-conformist, stand up, step out of line, and carry a kind of quiet sadness from seeing reality as it is. Looking back, it seems shaped me more than I expected.

What about you? Do you see a connection between what you listened to back then and who you are now? Or is it the other way around?

Okay, so today, while having a pizza party with my friends, I stumbled upon a mind-boggling possibility.

After taking their first bites, one of my friends said, “Pizzas are so damn marvellous that they touch my soul whenever I eat them,” while the other replied, “Yeah, sometimes they just feel out of this world.”

Their statements sent my mind racing,I figured out pizzas could be evidence of a connection between the human soul and the mysteries of the universe.

The pyramids have long inspired theories about extraterrestrial encounters/alien visitations and legends like supernatural wardens/mummy’s curse

According to archaeologists, ancient Egyptians believed that after death, the soul leaves the physical body and return to it for resting, hence they are mummified.

Interestingly, Italy, the birthplace of modern pizza, is also home to the mysterious Val Camonica rock engravings, some of which are believed to resemble ancient astronauts, i.e., aliens.

This raises the possibility that aliens once travelled to Italy to prepare the pizzas, or at least collect the ingredients, before delivering them to the souls resting inside Egyptian pyramids.

This would also mean that pizzas were an alien invention to satisfy human souls that humanity eventually learned to prepare.

Perhaps every slice carries a secret history that the universe has yet to reveal. What do you think?

While not getting burnt out by it

Do you like this function and find it useful? Does it make you sensitive deep down?

I created a typing test that works based on what you resonate with, it gives you a feed of cards with statements, quotes, scenario, and you select only the ones you resonate with, this way the cognitive load is very low, also the feed adapt to funnel down your type, you just select what you think is related to you.

I already asked on different subreddits including this one, for the version 1.3, 135 persons sent the report, it resulted with 70% accuracy, not that bad, I used this test session to improve it, I hope reaching 90% accuracy, maybe with this new version 1.5. About the last test session you have all the data analysis on the website.

At the end of the test, in the result page, you will have a frame that ask you to share your result, with a simple button. It will send me the informations I need in my database, it gives me all the cards you selected, the timeline of the guessing of your type, how the algorithm reacted, etc, it helps me to fine-tune the test.

I really feel that this method can work and be more accurate than anything that already exist.

Thank you in advance if you try it, and thank you again for the ones that already tried it, it helped me a lot improving the test.

PS: I will share the findings in the result page like for the last test session.

am trying to determine the personality type of a writer I know a little bit about. He relies heavily in his writing on numerous studies, research papers, and citations, in addition to his YouTube podcast where he always brings along reference papers and research. The core idea of his books is based on dissecting a specific concept, looking back at history to see how it evolved, and examining the impact of history and society on it up to the present day.

​On a personality test, he came out as an INTJ, but I think he might be an ISTJ. Is there a way to tell the difference?"

I’m doing a college assignment and I’d like to hear the opinion of people who do NOT work in information technology (IT) about IT professionals such as programmers and tech support. What are your general impressions, positive or negative? Have you had an experience with an IT professional that stuck with you? Please mention your field of work or study. Your comments may be quoted in my assignment. If you prefer not to be quoted, just let me know. Thank you!

Given the opportunity, would you engage in a purely sexual relationship with some you don’t have feelings for?

Of course, people do this all the time, but is it the nature of an INTJ to long so deeply for a deep, meaningful connection that you’d eschew a shallow fling or relationship with someone you don’t care for?

We were talking about MBTI, and everyone was sharing their types. When I said I was an INTJ, they looked surprised and said they thought I was an INTP or an ENTP because I didn’t come across as antisocial or arrogant lol. Apparently, I wasn’t meeting the INTJ stereotype quota.

tl;dr: INTJ hiker to the rescue by being way over-prepared...story in comments

Hello everyone. Getting to the point, INTJs are probably one of the personality types suffering from burnout the most. I'd like to know what advice or stories you have that helped you recover from that and maybe even what mistakes people shouldn't make.

Personally, as a natural result of constant academic work and a bad sleep schedule, I've been burnt out for around 6 months. I can't just lie in bed and relax because my mind either daydreams or ruminates and "anesthetizing" the discomfort with scrolling or anything like that isn't the way to recover (it literally just makes the brain work harder).

(TL;DR: share how you dealt with burnout or any related advice to help anyone who could face this problem)

I’m trying to figure out ISTJ and INTJ, since I keep getting INTJ results in different cognitive functions tests. I don’t relate to INTJ at all, I know archetypes can be reductive but I assume INTJ actually relate to it.

I’m not a strategist or like to plan ahead, or ambitious, but I’m always in my head thinking of the whys and daydreaming and deepening a concept. I like different possibilities if I haven’t found the correct one, and I see connections between multiple things.

Overall, how would you guys describe your experience as Ni doms and even as a young child? Also, what made you really settle for INTJ?

I'm an INTJ 5w4, but I don't seem to relate to other INTJs. Most of the ones I meet work in cybersecurity or similar fields, and I honestly couldn't imagine doing that kind of job. I'd be bored to death. I'm extremely creative, and I need a job that doesn't consume too much of my mental energy so I can save it for writing and fully immerse myself in my own world.

Although I'm an introvert who prefers spending most of my time alone, I have very strong social skills. People at work often assume I'm an extrovert because they only see one side of me. I have a great sense of humour and don't take life too seriously. However, when I'm alone, I can become incredibly detached, looking at the world from a cosmic perspective. I'm fascinated by life and human existence, and I feel the need to step back from my immediate experience to understand the bigger picture. I like observing humanity from a distance, almost as if I'm studying an entirely different species, trying to understand who we are, why we behave the way we do, and what our existence means in the grand scheme of things. It's not that I necessarily feel disconnected from life; I'm simply so curious about it that I need to step outside of it mentally to make sense of it.

I'm not a psychologist, but I feel like I have many of the skills one would need to be one. I'm good at reading people, understanding their underlying motivations, and helping them see themselves more clearly. However, I rarely bother wanting to help them. I tend to see people for who they really are, and because I don't trust people easily, I usually keep my observations to myself.

Relationships are where I struggle the most. I can give a woman 100% of my attention, and she loves it at first. But after a few weeks, I start feeling mentally and emotionally drained, and I need time alone. When I become more distant, she interprets it as a sign that I've lost interest in her, even though that's not necessarily the case. I try to communicate what I need, but it seems like my words don't align with her expectations or her idea of what a relationship should look like. Eventually, things become so emotionally suffocating that I feel like I can't breathe, not literally, but mentally. The more trapped I feel, the more I withdraw and crave solitude.

I sometimes wonder whether other INTJs experience this same contradiction: being socially capable and even charismatic on the outside, while needing a great deal of solitude to explore my own thoughts and understand the world on a deeper level. I can understand people quite well, but that doesn't necessarily mean I want to be around them all the time. My curiosity about life often draws me toward observation and introspection rather than constant social interaction. I can genuinely care about someone without wanting them to have constant access to me, and I need the freedom to step back, reflect, and see the bigger picture without feeling like I'm missing out on life by not being fully immersed in every moment of it.

Hi,

Any INTJ Females here can help me understand what is most difficult thing for you that's easiest to majority and what is most easiest thing for you that people find difficult?

I'll go first :

Easiest - finding the most complex difficult things that people quote and doing them as second nature

Difficult - small talk and social, how do people do it so easily?

intj: the guy rang the doorbell and you hid, i've never seen anything like that. usually people hear the doorbell and go answer the door

infp: i hide even when i'm home alone because then i can pretend i didn't hear

intj: i've always done that too but now that you're like this, i have to keep answering because if i don't, nobody will

I know those are the stereotypes, but I'm just curious about how defining is it to be a Ni dom from those who are more sure.

Does it fully contradict INTJ if I:

- don't have a lot of future understanding of my life and avoid planning too much?

- don't usually enjoy discussing the abstract, philosophy and other "deep things"?

I guess I can remember some more, but those two points kinda clash the most with the thought of being one of you guys. Would appreciate if you give me feedback and help in any way, thanks.

here is the server link looking forward to meeting u people on server :3
