Ask an INTJ

[Nicodemus]

...

Just tell him that you cannot give him/her the money because you need it to feel secure. So only if he knows a way to have a cake and eat it too, he can have it; otherwise he can stop arguing. Also, switch the blame: "I have made up my mind. Please stop making me feel so miserable about it."

He is not a good baker so that is a good point.

I have taken your advice on my reply text to him, pulling the sad INFP card into the mix: "Yes, I would appreciate that as it makes me feel bad."

Excellent advice.

It's the equivalent to the senza smiley:

That is very senzaesque.

My true emotion is more: than but I supposed will counter his more effectively.

We wait for the sigh of relief, then constrict after you exhale. Oldest technique in the book.

The sad INFP card... the counterpart to the INTJ constriction. Hehehe.

Just be sure to use the force only for true good, young padawan.

so true...

although, i think this kinda goes for manipulation in general...

we just have our own brand/flavor...

(also, sometimes they have no idea...)

i enjoy getting people going on something, so that they don't really know the purpose/what's going to come of it, but i use their desires/end goals to get them to do it anyway, and they can just kinda tell that there's something else going on too, something fishy, but they can't put their mind around it, and then, so long as they trusted me and did as i requested, not only do they get what they wanted, but i get what i wanted, and they get something they didn't necessarily realize they wanted before, but, now, having it, they would not want to give it up.

there is, admittedly, probably something perverse about enjoying that, but i consider it an important trust-building exercise, and i don't think i've ever used it for anything other than my and the other person's mutual benefit.

And also because I know that if I did I would have none of the clever subtext that NiTe yields and instead it will be a mace blow to the face delivered from the Witch King.

I know this is the "Ask an INTJ" thread, so this is kinda in reverse, but would you mind expanding on this?

INTP's and INTJ's seem to brush against each other the wrong way more often than not. Every encounter I've had, or seen, seems to spiral into some sort of conflict, however fluffy or well meant it may be. And although the setting is often saved by some form of mutual respect, it seems almost impossible to fully reach the same consensus on any issue, even though our seperate opinions are actual not that different from eachother. But it's often the subtle differences that seem to be of utmost importance in defending each owns perpectives on things. It's like there is a certain unspoken rivalry between the two types.

Have you noticed/experienced this as well, and if so, what is your take on it?

Yes.

...and if so, what is your take on it?

You guys suck.

(actually, not you; I kinda like you.)

Why is it that (male) INTJ's seem to have greater difficulty typing their (female) ladiez?
Esp when they seem so certain with typing others. Hmm?
