[INTJ] INTJs: If you get angry you lose

[DigitalMethod]

Any INTJs relate?

 

[violaine]

Not INTJ but I relate to this.

 

[ceecee]

Yep.

 

[Matthew_Z]

I'm not an INTJ, but I definitely hold that principle dearly. You'd be simply amazed how much anger impairs judgment. Inducing anger is a relatively effective interrogation technique.

 

[Jaguar]

Some people think passion is anger.
It's not.

 

[Kra]

"If your opponent is of choleric temper, seek to irritate him. Pretend to be weak, that he may grow arrogant."

Sun Tzu, Art of War Chapter 1

Yes I relate, though the only person who can really lead me into this predicament is my best friend. And only on very few topics.

 

[Synarch]

What if the anger is instrumental?

 

[Kra]

What if the anger is instrumental?

I'm not sure I understand. If you mean that you use anger to further some other response within yourself (ie. anger as motivation), then I suppose that would be an exception.

In the context of a debate or discussion, I'm inclined to agree with Jaguar. We see many of the same mannerisms from anger exhibited in passion, so it's only natural that they be somewhat confusing. Passion however, doesn't always cloud judgment and mental facilities like anger generally does.

 

[Uytuun]

Yeah, I relate.

 

[Jaguar]

Passion however, doesn't always cloud judgment and mental facilities like anger generally does.

Very astute.

 

[INA]

INTJs: if you lose you get angry.

 

[Jaguar]

INTPs: Get angry every time they lose to an INTJ.

 

[INA]

No such thing!
We're usually in cahoots.

 

[Jaguar]

^ LOL

 

[Matthew_Z]

INTPs: Get angry every time they lose to an INTJ.

The anger is really just a guise so they think we're not coming up with a coherent revenge plot of any sort.

 

[sade]

^ A revenge that suffers from all the procrastination is no real revenge. And you'll just end up angry again. Sigh.

Ever been in a fight? Anger can sometimes amplify your strength.

 

[Kra]

Ever been in a fight? Anger can sometimes amplify your strength.

In a physical sense yes. I guess I was thinking on a purely debate-based scenario.

From the very few fights that I've been in, anger does cause adrenaline to pump, but the delirium it causes isn't to be underestimated either.

 

[DaRick]

In many ways, yes.

Although sometimes getting angry is perfectly natural (like when people threaten to kill you and your family, for instance).

 

[colourscientist]

you can use your anger in several ways:
to provoke defensive and antagonistic attitudes in others
to make friends, family and uppers feel disrespected
to scare and repulse the general public :[
