Two major types of INTJ

One of the most interesting things I read in relation to personality theory was Cognitive Styles. It is completely separate personality profiling system, but it can be used in conjunction with MBTI. And when you combine the two, you find out that there are two major types of INTJs

The ones that don’t wear a ‘social mask’ (perceiver INTJs)

The ones that do wear a social mask (contributor INTJs)

There are other variations, but these are the most common. Out of the two, the perceiver INTJ’s are the most common. Contributor INTJ’s (I am one of these) often feel out-of-step within the community, because they are always wearing some form of public mask, and always playing the social game, whereas their INTJ perceiver peers denounce such things.

Perceiver INTJs

Hate social games, and usual rebel when possible and do their best to not comply.

They don’t respect authority at all unless its proven itself, and even then, they are forever skeptical.

They have a strong moral compass, and they follow it. They have a very, very strong sense of justice. Pretending to be someone else, i.e. wearing the “social mask” feels dirty, because it is deceptive and not who they really are.

While most like things, they are less concerned with material matters.

They do not care what society thinks of them.

Contributor INTJs

Contributor INTJ’s do care about what society thinks of them. They wear lots of social masks, and they usually wear them well. They play the social game, and they usually do this without being bitter about it (even if it makes them tired).

They key to understand why they do this, is that they are inherently pragmatic. Socializing is often not natural for them but they learn the skills because it pragmatically assists them in achieving their abstract goals. They don’t have an inherent drive to be liked for the sake of being liked, but they want to achieve their goals.

They care more about possessions because things help them get other things; contributor INTJ’s do well in sales and business.

Respect authority more because they take-on social roles when it is necessary.

Because they are incredibly goal-based, their morals tend to be weaker. They are more likely to blur the lines. They will do things to get ahead. Unlike the perceiver INTJ who doesn’t like to lie about who they are (even if it means achieving their goals will be harder), the contributor will “wear the mask”.

MBTI Flavored Advice

One of the main downsides of typing is that many people, once they read about their type, stop developing upwards. They use their type to excuse bad behavior. Don’t take the stereotype that INTJs are often sarcastic or blunt as a reason to freely make mean comments, or put people down. It’s important to remember to always stay on the up-and-up, keep improving yourself, recognize and work on your flaws, regardless of whatever negative trait your type is listed to naturally have. Take the best qualities of every type and work hard to meet them to become the best version of yourself you can be. So, this advice is for everyone.

ESTP: Exercise until you sweat out the bad feelings. Run until there’s no negativity left in you, and channel frustration into sports. It’s cathartic.

ISFJ: Go out of your way to remember the little things. Remember more birthdays, more favorite foods, more little details about people that they would expect you to forget. Put the effort in.

ISTJ: Write things down. Write things down even when you think you’ll remember. Get a little notebook, get a pack of different color highlighters, and make a list. Prioritize. Keep it tidy.

ESTJ: Set goals, but make them actionable. Make a step-by-step plan, then actually follow through. Determination and discipline is key.

ISTP: Depend on people less. Know that you are an entire person by yourself, and you have all the tools you need to get the job done. Talk less, think more, listen to music, work with your hands, stay mysterious.

INTP: Stay inquisitve. Approach everything with keen eyes and an open mind, and never take things at face value. Everything’s a puzzle, and you want to leave with the biggest knowledge base you can get. Absorb everything.

ENTP: Try everything once. Approach life like a game, and you’ve only got a short time to play, have the best time you can, before it ends too soon. Don’t take anything too seriously, don’t let anything weigh too heavily on you. When bad things happen, and they always do, sometimes the best thing you can do is shrug and say, “Fuck that.” and move on.

ENFP: Don’t be ashamed of enthusiasm. Don’t let negative people make you feel like you’re being silly or childish for liking the things you like. Be as radiant and as energetic as you are, love things unabashedly, and never water yourself down to please wet-blanket people who don’t matter at all.

INFP: Stay soft. A tender heart is the most underappreciated and wonderful quality you can have, and don’t buy into people who think it’s cool to be emotionally detatched and cold. Feel things completely and intensely, cry when you have to, and know that it’ll never make you weak. Protect yourself, but don’t shut people out.

INFJ: Be objective. Approach problems from all perspectives, and always look for the bigger picture. Don’t get caught on pettiness, don’t let others get caught on pettiness. Help people where you can, offer insight where you can, and ultimately let things go.

ISFP: Be present. Notice the small things. You only live in this exact moment right now, so take a second here and there to stop and look around. Find comfort and beauty in how warm your mug is in your hand, how nice the light looks on your friend’s face, and how lucky you are to exist in peace at this very point in time.

ESFP: Friends are the most valuable commodity you can have. Befriend everyone. Build your network. Nobody thinks you’re lame. Let people be drawn to the energy you give out. Embrace the spotlight when it comes around, but don’t push people aside to get in it.

INTJ: Stay cerebral. Your mind is your most important tool, and it’s awesome. Take it out for a spin as often as you can. Seek intellectual challenges, embrace chances to prove yourself, don’t dumb yourself down to accomodate other. If you know a billion facts about sharks, and it happens to be Shark Trivia Night at this restaurant you’re at with your friends, don’t turn it down for fear of seeming weird. Get your shark on, but remember: there’s a fine line between pride and arrogance. Stay on the right side of it.

ENTJ: Don’t be afraid of your own potential. Know you’re smart enough, strong enough, tough enough to attain absolutely any goal. Ambition is not a bad thing to have. Embrace your ambition, and do what it takes to get where you need to be.

ESFJ: Don’t underestimate the value of people. It’s tempting to cut yourself off from the world because it’s comfortable there, but teach yourself that when you extend a hand to others, you’ll get many hands back when you yourself need help. Remain socially conscious, remain respectful, and remember that “what goes around, comes around” applies to both cruelty, and kindness.

ENFJ: Balance working smart with working hard. Don’t treat other people like tools, but don’t let other people walk over you. Find the midpoint in everything, and build your house there. Be diligent, but don’t be obsessive. Be friendly, but don’t be passive. Get what you deserve.

Fate surprises you sometimes. I just think you can have a plan in life, a good one, but that plan isn’t necessarily what fate has in store for you. Sometimes what fate thinks you need is so much better than what you had planned.

Laughing because

Here we have

• Sherlock texting Irene back

image

•  Flying halfway across the world to take on armed terrorists to save her 

image

• “Oh, but I will have the cameraphone, though.”

image

•  “The Woman. THE Woman.”

image

• Just him imagining her in an extremely intimate and sentimental manner in the middle of a life-or-death situation, NBD. (And it’s made clear that this is not unusual.)

image

•  “The Woman Will Cry”

image

• Irene as the very first of Sherlock’s pressure points:

Laughing Because

• The red rose she sent or left Sherlock in his hospital room (red roses are symbols of ‘one true love’). The fact that he took it with him when he snuck out.

image

• Sherlock having a conversation with John about Irene’s importance to him in his Mind Palace, including the fact that he kept a picture of her in his pocket watch:

image

• Every single person involved with the show to any significant degree giving numerous quotes supporting Adlock.

image

• And of course, The Lying Detective, where it becomes canon that Sherlock kept her moan text alert five years and several phones later, and that he does indeed reply to her.

image

People who ship That Other Ship in her tags:

• “WhY is this ADlock being forced down our throats out of NOwhere?!?!?”

I am seriously torn between two good things. Which one should I choose?

“In The End, Fate And destiny do Not Just Happen Out Of Coincidence. They Are Products Of Earnest,
“In The End, Fate And destiny do Not Just Happen Out Of Coincidence. They Are Products Of Earnest,
“In The End, Fate And destiny do Not Just Happen Out Of Coincidence. They Are Products Of Earnest,
“In The End, Fate And destiny do Not Just Happen Out Of Coincidence. They Are Products Of Earnest,

“In the end, fate and destiny do not just happen out of coincidence. They are products of earnest, simple choices, that make up miraculous moments. Being resolute, making decisions without hesitation, that is what makes timing. He wanted her more than I did, and I should have been more courageous. It was not the traffic light’s fault. It was not timing. It was my many hesitations.”

make that 1441

1440 followers ....OMG!!... I’M OVERWHELMED

I joined tumblr a couple weeks after the first trailer for season 7 released, the one with Cersei saying “Enemies to the east…” I never checked how many people were following me because the APP on my phone somehow was stuck at 10 and though I would get notifications as time went by I assumed I had somewhere about 100 - 200 followers. My obsession with the posts and the metas never really gave me the opportunity or the inclination to check how many followers I have. 

I don’t know why I never thought of checking from my Laptop before because I don’t use it very often unless I want to make a very long post but I did today and I was truly shocked to discover that I have 1400 plus followers. 

A BIG THANK YOU TO EACH ONE OF YOU FOR THINKING THAT THIS BLOG IS WORTHY OF FOLLOWING. I’M TRULY HUMBLED AND EXTREMELY OVERWHELMED!! 

There are a few people I have to thank and I have to use this opportunity to do that. 

Thank you @fedonciadale!! If not for you, I would’ve probably run in the opposite direction after what happened on my first day. You are one of the sweetest person I’ve ever met and I’m glad our friendship has extended beyond the fandom. I love you and you will continue to inspire me always. You are the reason why I stuck around and discovered this beautiful community and I promise you, I shall never ever forget that!!

Dearest @jonsasnow!! Thanks for being my friend, philosopher and guide on tumblr when I was so ignorant about it’s various ways and etiquette and never ever failing to respond to my queries however stupid or insignificant they were. I’m a fan of your writing and will always be. 

 Thank you @amymel86 for sending all the positive messages and I simply love your FICS!!!

@lookingatyousideways @rinsin68  @a-baleful-howl @natty86 @occupyvenus @stuckincinemascope @thenutofroyalty @geekprincess26 

I’ve enjoyed all our discussions and will always look forward to forward to more!!

Dear @thewesterwoman how I love your well thought out metas and logical reasoning!! I’ve enjoyed every single one of our conversations. 

Thank you @scullylikesscience for being the constant voice of reason in this fandom. 

I know I am missing many wonderful people, please forgive me and don’t hate me!!

And Finally @kitten1618x. My Jonsa soul sister!!  I SHARE “EVERYTHING JONSA” with you and more. When I need to discuss, when I need to vent, when I need to share, when i need to flail .. you are always there. Your concern for me moves me and I absolutely LOVE YOU to pieces!! Your well written metas continue to inspire. Thank you for BEING YOU!! 

Thank you @normadcisba for faithfully reblogging each one of my posts. Thank you @knives78 for all the interactive asks.  

Now I’m going to take a little time to say something that I should’ve probably said very long ago. When I first joined Tumblr on the very first day, I was misunderstood by a few bloggers. I won’t name anyone and I don’t want to get into the details of what happened because it doesn’t really matter anymore. I just want to tell all of them that I understand that a misunderstanding is really just that - A MISUNDERSTANDING.

I hold no grudges against anyone. I didn’t then, I don’t now and I won’t ever. This is me taking a step forward and saying earnestly with an open heart that if you are a fellow shipper and do not like to spread hate just like me, I’ll welcome you with a broad smile, always. 

Since I can’t tag each one of my followers, my mutuals and the blogs I follow, this is me thanking everyone of you from the very bottom of my heart for making my journey in this fandom a beautiful and a wonderful one and I’m sincerely looking forward to continuing this beautiful journey.

Intj and travel

I am now questioning my self proclaimed love for travelling. I am on a business-ish trip and all I want to do is stay holed up in my hotel room.
