Why do people Pretend to be INTJ's?

Dominicus Griswold · 08-27-2008, 02:00 AM

Through my travels, experiences and what not, I have seen many a man and woman putting off the Image of an INTJ. I do not know if it is because Intj’s are “cool” or “badass” or because society demands people to be colder nowadays…I was wondering whether or not I was the only who has pondered this.

I think you might be mistaken.

Mistaken...how so?

I haven't noticed, unless you mean on forums.

There are people who actually choose to be INTJ's?

I joke, I jest.

Thats really strange, during high-school, it was very obvious to me...guess I looked to deep. (and also, I have noticed it on the internet as well.)

Actually, I see your point. Why the hell would anybody actually choose to be an INTJ?

You know, I really appreciate INTJ's, but I noticed, especially with one close friend of mine, that it seems like a personality that's a bit of a torture internally. At least, I know how much he struggles sometimes, having to be polite when he doesn't want to be, social niceties and all. He really needs for people to make sense as much as possible.

It confuses me as well..it seems to be most rampant amongst the otaku..I see it as a curse, more or less....but oddly enough I would not trade it for the world.

I didnt understand that. Do you mean people that are not iNTj's behaving like one. Or people telling they are one, though they are not ?
