Ask an INTJ

[Engineer]

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

Here, go here and pour your heart out: http://www.typologycentral.com/forum...ter-intjs.html

Have fun with that.

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.

INTJs, what are your thoughts on having a hobby?

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

Had there been more than one solid INFP endorsement it might have seemed worth it. I nominate you to start it Coriolis.

Because he's a real INTJ.
