Ask an INTJ

[Anew Leaf]

Dear INTJs:

Where can I find one of you?

<3 Just an innocent NFP.

The ether holds many secrets.

True, but a full-length Friday the 13th screenplay I wrote in middle school is also thankfully in the ether. Sometimes the right stuff ends up in purgatory.

I'm in Walmart a lot.

I'd written a long, deeply thought-out answer to your questions (which were excellent, btw), but my browser crashed and it was lost to the ether.

i share your pain... huxley you are doomed to have an unanswered question

If I'm not at work, I'm usually at home, which by the virtues of GPS/googlemaps errors, cannot easily be found.

I'm sorry that this is a stupid question, but it relates to Si vs. Ni, I think.

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

Part of the reason why I have such a hard time with it, is that there never seems to be the wink-and-smirk tone that NTPs have when they troll -- i.e. letting their troll flag fly, and declaring "So what if I'm trolling? Let's see you try and do something about it! Let the games begin!" Whereas INTJs will be ambiguous, and sometimes very thorough. I've seen INTJs mimic their own behavior were they to be in shadow mode, or an Ni-Fi loop, and I've seen them maintain very subtle tones for pages upon pages on the forum, never losing the mask.

But the thing is... other xNTJs seem to have a very easy time telling when they're trolling. It's like another language.

Teach me that language, please!

Hmmm...

All I can really tell you is that it's about holding as many possibilities (i.e., perspectives) in one's mind as one can.

Our joy literally comes from playing these multiple possibilities off one another, because, in reality, we probably have a fully array of complex opinions about each one of them, and expressing the entirety of our opinions would be inconvenient, as, to do so would require pages, essays, books even, and so, rather than express them in full, we just play around with them by referring to them rather obliquely, and allowing our dear readers to either figure it out on their own, or not. Those who can, we let into our inner circle. Those who cannot, well...

Yes, what he said.
