INTJ: Rants, Realizations, and Revelations

Watch me describe my Meyers Briggs type, vastly over-exaggerate my impatience with and intolerance of people who ask too many questions, and be an ass in general :)

I'm a INTJ bartender. My guests get very fast and efficient service, but I hate talking to them. I have more regulars than the "talkers", because I have "perfected" the drink recipes. I tend to attract people that like to be left alone. Win win.

Ha that's fun(ny) - an INTJ bartender. I bet you've got some pretty unique special drinks too. I'm no bartender, but we spend a lot of time mixing things here at school too so I know what you mean about "perfecting."

Awesome vid. I'm also INTJ and am pretty much exactly how you describe yourself. I love what you said about INTJs actually having feelings because this is absolutely true - I have very strong emotions personally, I just don't use them for decision making.

@Schischmischrox

Thanks. I'm glad to hear you agree about the emotions condition. It's a "strange" type of emotion and definitely difficult to explain to those who don't experience it, leading many of us to believe that it is not emotion at all. But, as you say, they are actually quite strong.

Thanks for sharing I'm an INTJ and can definitely relate to thinking constantly to the extent that sometimes I find it difficult to sleep due to racing thoughts.

@kh884488

Do you too? Yes, it's frequent and almost more intense (for me at least?) at night. It's interesting that you describe them as "racing," as they do seem to flit from one subject to another along some bizarre common plane that ultimately leads to a universal realization. Cool stuff.

I'd like to "verbally chainsaw" lots of people. Great video!

F*** this..it's mind-reading live on youtube :O

I find this very interesting. The way of abstract thought you mentioned is what my art teacher calls "right brain thinking" where you do not actually think in words but instead you think... Well differently. I am an INTJ and can relate to almost every thing you said in the video. Good job and good luck!

5:00 fitting in, or standing out...

I would say neither; if fitting in severed a logical purpose, than sure; but if I had to stand out, I'd do it in a manner of "why am I here? don't gawk at me, why aren't you here? what's wrong with you! ... dumb ass."

Always the black and white question, "fit in or stand out?"; we're INTJs, we manipulate/advise the throne, and if we can do so without anyone even knowing our name, then all the better. Fit in? hell, were we even there???

Wow, your whole thought process bears a striking resemblance to my own. I didn't know what it meant to be an INTJ until I found MBTI a year ago. I have to say you are very efficient with word usage : D

It's true about mimicking behavior- there are a lot of people who want to be our personality type but don't fully understand with an INTJ really is. I'll say you can't really "act" like one- you just are. People with INTJ traits will likely see most other types very transparently, IMO.

@isolabella88  haha Im also a bartender but at the place that i work is a very high class place, therefore i dont have to talk to them moch which is a win win. and the very few regulars i have are just like me or very smart people.....

Hey what's your name on Perc?

[ohsocool101]

I love INTJs -fellow ENFP

[CiaoBello21]

You are also right that when INTJ's think in such an abstract way that its hard to actually delineate it in words. I think about the the abstract future a lot.
