INTJs, what are your thoughts on having a hobby?

My hobby as a non-INTJ is annoying INTJs, because they are always super logical about everything, and it is funny to get them to lighten up and start being more fun-loving like ESFPs!

See, it worked, I bothered you unnecessarily and made you read nothing of logical value :D

Everything has its value Raptorwizard. You've just got to see the interesting things you can learn within it. No worries though Raptor, I haven't fallen annoyed.

I have hobbies, I enjoy them. I have little time or money for them currently, but I will again in time.

As an INFP I'd like to ask, why do I like you so much? I admire INTJs so hard.
Threads abound on the forum already which extol the virtues (and vices) of INTJs. Really, only you can answer this question, but if you do, I would be curious to hear what you come up with

A hobby is a great way to learn, to be creative, to broaden your horizons, and to meet people. It can provide a welcome contrast to your "day job" and a way to explore and develop additional dimensions of yourself as an individual. Occasionally hobbies can even bring financial gain.

That should count for something, yes... but the memo stated no dice.

Here, go here and pour your heart out: http://www.typologycentral.com/forums/nf-idyllic/55712-enfps-infps-better-intjs.html

Have fun with that. :coffee:

Eh. That's just Zarathustra making broad, sweeping generalizations about all INTJs again. For cereal, that's the entire thread.
Apparently, that's the type of INTJ that he is... "I am this way, therefore everyone must also be this way too!"

It's an interesting flaw, one that I get the sense that more than a few INTJs likely struggle with. I know I have in the past.

I play video games and workout. I guess those count as hobbies? I'm rather boring.

Hehe, well I didn't notice anyone except [MENTION=10757]Nicodemus[/MENTION] exactly rolling out the red carpet for us, or running to start the resulting "INTJ/INFP Fetishists Thread" man. :D

Are you kidding me? Those are awesome. :happy2: How are you at Dr. Mario?.... :newwink:

As a general rule of thumb, I usually stay away from Zarathustra threads because:
a) He talks about really high-concept portions of typology that aren't really practical in day to day life, or, to me, help out with being a better person.
b) He usually ignores the majority of the stuff I post in reply unless he finds it wrong or it meshes with his previous points.
c) His threads attract Kalach. Kalach gives me headaches.

Are you kidding me? Those are awesome. :happy2: How are you at Dr. Mario?.... :newwink:

Many will rage against me for saying this, but I hate Nintendo...

My best friend is an INTJ. I enjoy extrapolating what his Ni+Te provides, and sorting it with my Fi. I have a lot of rapport with my particular INTJ and we share a lot of common interests. As for the type as a whole, you're very admirable. You all seem so put-together, and exemplify the traits that I wish I had. Personally I think INTJ and INFP partnerships can be particularly beneficial on each end, with the INFP providing understanding and a competent ear/interactive idea bounce-board.

Nothing is stopping you from starting such a thread.

How the hell can I tell if an INTJ is trolling?? (In real life or on the forum.)

Well, it's really just not that simple.

See, from one perspective, you could say that we're always trolling.

But, from another, you could say that we're never trolling.

The truth lies somewhere in between.

And the truth lies in what I said.

You just have to learn to read those multiple perspectives that we're riffing.

We literally play them like an instrument.

You just have to learn to hear it.

Suddenly, a wild chess game appears.
