Happenings of an INTJ

Myth #1 – Introverts don’t like to talk. This is not true. Introverts just don’t talk unless they have something to say. They hate small talk. Get an introvert talking about  something they are interested in, and they won’t shut up for days. Myth #2 – Introverts are shy. Shyness has nothing to do with being an Introvert. Introverts are not necessarily afraid of people. What they need is a reason to interact. They don’t interact for the sake of interacting. If you want to talk to an Introvert, just start talking. Don’t worry about being polite. Myth #3 – Introverts are rude. Introverts often don’t see a reason for beating around the bush with social pleasantries. They want everyone to just be real and honest. Unfortunately, this is not acceptable in most settings, so Introverts can feel a lot of pressure to fit in, which they find exhausting. Myth #4 – Introverts don’t like people. On the contrary, Introverts intensely value the few friends they have. They can count the

That isn't really the case...  When reading through several different INTJ descriptions online, I sometimes come across a few points in how INTJ's are described that I disagree on.  One of the points that I used to disagree with was this: INTJ often would rather enjoy a quiet evening reading a book than attend a crowed party.  Being at university, I sometimes find myself invited to parties. Three out of four times I will likely accept the invitation. I usually only stay at the party for a brief time and then thank the host and leave - often under the notion that I have some school project or homework to complete. The other fourth of the time I have university or employment matters to attend and politely decline.  However, it has been of late that I decline invitations and instead opt for reading. Being in university, I don't have to search far for a reading assignment. However, since the break is approaching, reading assignments have become less freq

Yes! INTJs have Standards! Writing on one of my other blogs I came across a topic that somewhat relates to my INTJ lifestyle. I will paste the first paragraph of the post here. If you like what you see you can go to the full article linked here . Of note, this article primarily addresses just one aspect of my standards pertaining to relationships, but seems to be the more prevalent problem area I have encountered.  "I want to take some time to address an issue that I have been exposed to more and more as of late. Since attending my new college as of this past August, I have been approached both directly and indirectly with comments about my appearance and or propositions for a relationship.  Some of these women are what some may call "hot" or "attractive." However, in every instance to date, I have politely declined their advances. When the topic of girls or relationships is brought up (which seems to be quite often) when I am with my friends th

80 Signs You're An INTJ While browsing through my Facebook news feed, I stumbled upon a buzzfeed article I wanted to share with you all. I don't agree with all of them, but I did found most of the gifs entertaining.

ENTP Humor Seeing that my two previous postings on Meyers-Briggs personality memes and humor were so popular, I have decided to construct a page on ENTPs. ENTPs and ENFP are known to some as being potentially more compatible to the INTJ personality. Putting these pages together, I hope to not only gain a better insight into the workings of the ENTP mind, but only to share my findings with others. Most of my postings here will be somewhat humorous and thought-provoking in nature. Enjoy! Robert Downey Jr. - "Listen, smile, agree, and then do whatever the fuck you were going to do anyway."
