Because I spent some time figuring out if I am actually INTJ or INFJ. Now I am quite sure I am INFJ but I still remember this "funny" list of typical stereotypes INTJs are connected with. To be honest I relate to most of them except 11.
what about my other fellow INFJs? (you might think this list is bullshit and everyone connect with most things on the list too)
1. Yes. I think this is just an IxxJ thing in general. It kind of bugs me when INxJs act "so special" because of things they have in common with ISxJs, who are literally the most common personality types.
2. I don't mind having decisions made for me if I don't care that much/don't feel very knowledgeable about whatever it is. I think that the difference between INFJs and INTJs in this instance is that INTJs generally dislike the idea that they aren't knowledgeable about something, regardless of what it is. INFJs typically don't care about that as much. I know I don't, at least.
2a (seriously? This list really was made by a Te-user) Lmao, no. That sounds like the pettiest thing I've ever heard. Why would you let other people dictate your actions that much? That's the fast track to being pissed all the time.
3. No? You have the option of just not reciprocating. The present police isn't going to book you for it.
4. Hahahahaha, my gracious, the guy who wrote this list. Anyone who unironically uses the phrase "beneath me/us" is, well, beneath me. :laughing:
5. Who doesn't? Again with the attributing normal human behavior to "uniqueness." Ugh.
5a. (read above)
6. Don't really care in most cases. It depends on what sort of manipulation we're talking about (i.e.: manipulation doesn't have to be malevolent), and if I have a ready means of working around it. Repeat offenders do get annoying -- especially if they're not very good at it. I actually have admiration for people who can be competently manipulative.
7. Insincerity and lying is everywhere. If you let that bother you all the time, you're always going to be bothered. You gotta let some stuff roll off of you.
8. Getting interrupted during anything is annoying, but there is such a thing as handling these moments like an adult.
8a. "Wasting time" is a matter of perspective. I suppose that if you see most people as "beneath you," then you'll see them as wasting your time. Bet you're fun at parties.
9. Yep, but that's a cultural standard. e.g.: I've worked with a lot of Latinos, and being late is the norm. You just have to deal with it.
10. Shut your filthy INTJ mouth.
You talk incessantly when you feel like you have a willing (or captive. Probably captive. Like the little INFJ chick who's too darn polite to make it clear that she's not all that interested in your monologue) audience, and don't pretend for a split second that you don't have a picture of your ENxP crush hidden under your mattress. They talk a lot, and you like it. You know you do.
11. You know what annoys me, INTJ who wrote this? Tediously formatted lists. Guess that's my Ti.
Phew. That was cathartic. I swear, I need to go to therapy just to address all of this pent up angst against INTJs. :laughing:
and #5, is the difference between INFJ and INTJ in this list, otherwise it pretty much all applies. INFJs may hate small talk and mundane topics, but talk about relationships/people is often the norm, as long as said people/relationships being discussed are interesting!
