[INTJ] Proof that INTJ's can be silly

[thescientist]

I just launched my website and had so much fun creating this blog post I had to share. Proof that INTJ's can indeed let loose and be silly:

It’s Official—I’m a Mac!

That's what happens when you grow up with an INFP sister. I heart her

Only watch the first few seconds but I'm afraid any NF at least will be able to tell these tasks are being preformed by a cyborg (don't worry ISTJs, the term robot is still reserved for you guys ) without a real soul per se.

Congrats on the Mac though. Welcome to the dark side. With no blueness involved.

Excellent! There are definitely a few of us INTJs on this board that can be silly.

 

[Oaky]

A silly INTJ!? Preposterous!

Now you just need to convince us that you're actually an INTJ.

What do you hope to gain by proving that INTJs can be silly?

Nice horses! My dad has some clydesdales at his place in Glasgow. Nice blog too.

Nothing at all. Just wanted to share the fun with other NTs and show a side that's not stereotypical of INTJs. Does everything have to have a definite purpose?

Thank you! The horse is not mine. It was a friend's but we had a blast.

Did you not see my INTJ concentration face at the end of the vid? *Edit* The vid got cut off a bit at the end. No INTJ concentration face grr

I'm 100% sure I'm INTJ...very weak on the J. I took the test years ago in high school, not knowing or caring too much about it. Years later, I am still INTJ. I've just chilled out over the years.

Proof that INTJs can be hot and silly. cool vid...it's still got a bit of that INTJ reluctance to it, though

No, this video is proof that said "INTJ" is mistyped.

INTJs cannot be silly.

hey there forum sister! thank you your perception is very good. I guess an INTJ can't ever FULLY let go?

Are you sure you're not ENTP?

Wrong.

 

[Metamorphosis]

Wrong.

Pfft, don't be silly. "Everyone" knows it's true.

There is no way I'm extroverted. I need LOTS of alone time. I can appear very extroverted in social situations, but ultimately people exhaust me.

I'm borderline P, but was previously a stronger J for the majority of my life. I've probably just learned to balance the J/P in the recent years.

Is that a challenge?

Well, ENTPs often test as borderline INTP/INTJ. The reason for an ENTP to think they are introverted is pretty straightforward: Ns are more detached, Ts aren't as personable, and Ps prefer to watch rather than do.

But, ENTPs tend to be more pragmatic than INTPs and are motivated by other people (social obligations etc.) more than INTJs.

The 'time with people' description always bothers me because I have pretty severe social anxiety which makes rl social situations draining regardless of introversion/extroversion. But when I feel safe and validated within a group of people, I get really outgoing. Jung defined introversion/extroversion as focus on internal/external objects, is all. Nothing to do with other people whatsoever.

Classics in the History of Psychology -- Jung (1921/1923) Chapter 10

Then again, if you come up as introverted on MBTI, then your MBTI type is Introvert. *shrug*

Lord no, she's not an ENTP. An INTP, maybe. But ENTP is too far-fetched. The dangers of typing a person from one video segment is that the entire context of who they are can easily be overlooked, or minimized. It's more accurate to type people based on their reasoning/approach for doing things, because essentially more than one MB type can do the same X/Y action, yet from a different perspective.

I'm not basing this on the video segment.
