Happenings of an INTJ

INTJ Sarcasm As you may know from reading this blog, I have a question and answer section. One of the questions I received on the system I believe requires its separate post.  Question:  Hello, I am a female INTJ. What I'm curious about is why is it when I meet another INTJ, we rarely get along?

The INTJ "Death Stare" I am going to keep this answer short and sweet. I have had a significant number of people ask me about the INTJ "Death Stare." So below is a brief overview of the INTJ death stare. The INTJ death stare is a look that some individuals observe when they look at an INTJ. In my personal experience, when I catch myself or see other INTJs presenting a look that could be thought to be a death stare style look, the prevailing cause is typical because we are in deep thought or are trying to solve something in our mind. Here is an example of what may be going through an INTJ's head when he/she is displaying the "Death Stare." "A thought process might go like this: (Sitting at a bar with some friends, they're talking about something I find boring) Someone asks someone else if they're going to order food. I notice the menu.
