Sooo.... Are INTJs not very tolerant of things or not? My experience with my dad and bro has been...more "professional" than anything else. Honestly, it's impossible talking to them without getting educated about something. Of course, it's my experience as someone who likes a more laid back take on communicating.

I guess we like to pass on our knowledge to the uneducated masses ;) We're so giving :eek:

^ ... to the masses we percieve as "uneducated" (meaning everybody except for ourselves).

My deepest condolences to the Op.

It's not impossible, but it's definitely true that INTJs are not laid-back when it comes to the way in which we communicate.

I actually ask a lot of people about their area of expertise too - prefer that to educating others, although if you say something incorrect (especially in a discussion) I will react (this is fun with my INTJ dad because he often won't admit he's wrong and I don't back down). And I keep asking questions until I understand. Yesterday my mother saved my muffins by thinking practically and I was in awe and kept asking her questions. This works particularly well with my father because he likes the educating thing and I love learning about the workings of the most obscure phenomena...we can go on for a long time. My ESTP brother doesn't seem to understand that I'm genuinely interested in learning how the water-filtering in the dunes works. He thinks I'm sucking up to my father.

Oh, I'm not worthy. haha But thanks for the feedback. I choose to continue to defy them with my subtle and genuine form of perkiness...until they kill my buzz. Cheers

My mother and father are both INTJs. I can relate to having a more 'professional' relationship than having an actual love-y/feel-y relationship with them.
I don't mind it, really, though we do probably tend to debate/argue more so than other families.
