Yes it is kind of strange to be posting this in the INTJ forum, but I figured I'd have a shot anyways.
According to online descriptions, INTJs are thick-skinned, unemotional androids that do not easily grasp social rituals. Fair enough, but there's one point that kind of stands out..unemotional androids?
INTJs can be extremely sensitive. It's surprising, considering the descriptions. But since INTJs have Fi and not Fe, I would think that according to MBTI theory they'd take MORE things personally..hence "sensitive." After all, the feeling function is introverted.
What do you guys think? Can INTJs be too sensitive or is it not generally a trait that one would associate with INTJs?
I know for me the empathy part is highly dependent on the situation..like if a murder occurs in the news or something I don't feel anything because I've heard it so many times. But if someone says something that has a huge impact on the way I feel then I CAN get..sensitive.
