First post, been lurking for some time and decided to go ahead and make an account. Took a few different of the personality inventory tests a few weeks ago and came out as INTJ each time. Its been pretty interesting to learn more about the defined INTJ "type". I think I know maybe one other INTJ from at work..I don't think I've run into any others before (or just didn't notice them lol).

The community here intrigues me as I can relate to many of the posts here. I have a select few friends who tolerate my need for my "incognito mode" as they call it, but don't necessarily understand why I disappear into my own little world for weeks at a time. I have found my tribe of fellow introverts!

Thanks-I've only been lurking in the INTJ sub forum and overlooked the intro section lol.

I'll have to check out the other personality types.

I did notice the ENFPs deal though. It seems they like to poke the INTJs for their own personal amusement. Is there a survival guide for interacting with ENFPs? lol.

Sounds like this should be interesting...

Kin is more of what I meant, it wasn't my intent to imply ownership lol.

Also, I'd imagine someone attempting to be king of the INTJ's would be comparable to someone attempting to herd cats.

Not yet... Mr. Malias, you will take off your coat, shoes, and stockings, also your vest and cravat; and now your pantaloons; here is a pair of drawers for you. You will now slip your left arm out of your shirt-sleeve, and put it through the bosom of your shirt, that your arm and breast may be naked. The Deacon now ties a handkerchief or hoodwink over his eyes, places a slipper on his right foot, and after-wards puts a rope, called a cable-tow, once round his neck, letting it drag behind.

And how am I to know that Mr yet another INTJ is said Deacon of the INTJ tribe, and not just enslaving newcomers for his plot of world domination? *resists said submission ritual*

Very glad you've come to join us in this niche! Welcome. We've yet to find an antidote for ENFPs, though I sometimes wonder if they'd comply with being chained up like little circus monkeys while we say, "dance monkey, dance"... for our own amusement. I've seen them wander in, prodding and pushing buttons around here, haha.

That sounds like an amusing experiment. It seems it would be easier to learn more about the ENFP specimen in this manner. How would this be done-scattering shiny objects about and waiting for them to wander in?
