[INTJ] Fun and humorous INTJs?

[skylights]

I think it works one of two ways with INTP's. We're either going to be a homer for life, or we're so freaking independent that we can't fathom being under someone else's roof.

this.


as for INTJs - i think it happens with all Ni-ers that they just get a bit tunnel-visioned sometimes and so into their Ni envisioning and Te doing that they have to be poked out of it occasionally. i think they usually have a lovely sense of humor, it can just be a bit hidden by The Mission sometimes.

We are very funny. It's the ISTJs who lack humor.

I wasn't saying it was true. I was simply asking how 'fun' people consider you to be. How am I supposed to know if I haven't met and identified them?

I'm just screwing with you. Wasn't trying to be an ass. Unfortunately, it's hard to tell over the internet.

We're all INT's, brethren, we're all INT's.

If my INTJ friend(who is never serious) is not fun and humorous, what am i(who is hardcore serious)?

You are one of a kind.

 

[Little Linguist]

And the INTJ/INTP love/hate rivalry rages on.

We're all INT's, brethren, we're all INT's.

I'm not INT, but I love you guys!!!! Does that count?

I can't say I disagree with this, based on my experience with them.

 

[Such Irony]

Hey! I don't smoke!

I don't smoke or wear glasses.

 

[strawberries]

many intjs are fun to laugh with and all of them are fun to laugh at.

Yeah, until you are mysteriously murdered.

 

[strawberries]

see they can be funny... [looks behind back, nervously]

 

[Thalassa]

Yeah, I've found through the very few that I've known IRL and more so through the ones I've talked to in vent that they're pretty darkly funny...but it's a type of humor that isn't for everybody, that sort of thing.

I think a lot of dry wit that is portrayed in literature and film can be attributed to INTJ authors and/or characters.

Can someone please give me a fictional example of a non-serious INTJ. I'm finding it hard to imagine without them being more of a P or E.

 

[Rainne]

INTJ humor makes you feel stupid =(

Only thing that comes to mind is Al Bundy from Married With Children, but I'm pretty sure that character was NOT INTJ. But, their humor can seem *kind of* like that. I know an INTJ who would laugh hysterically at the things Bundy said and I used to think it was ironic because Bundy's humor reminded me of the INTJ.

 

[Ghost of the dead horse]

I know quite many INTJs, and one of them is really fun and humorous, for sure.

hm....I was gonna say House but he is EP'ish, which really stresses that idea of EP= humorous. so, hm....

My brother tested as an ISTJ and I find him extremely funny. His humor is pretty much sarcasm. Delicious sarcasm.

Yes, my grandfather was ISTJ and very funny - in sort of the way that INTJs are funny. His jokes primarily consisted of being very quiet or gruff to frighten strangers, making even keeled level-voiced comments about never being wrong-always right-in charge-dominating/hurting people, or saying darkly offensive things with a little light his eyes (he'd often open his eyes really wide and try his damnedest to surpress a smile) and then say "how does that grab you?"

Even when he was 80 years old, he sent me a photograph in the mail of him chasing my then 6-to-8-year-old nephews around shaking his cane at them. I kept it up on my mirror for almost a year after he died, because it TOTALLY personified the man I knew.

I think INTJ humor is too dry, mean, or creepy for some people and that's why they don't think it's funny. I think they can be VERY silly, but it's different from the way an ExxP would be silly...it's silly with a touch of sadistic glee. Or something.
