INTJ- The Anti - Hero

Ser Jorah Friendzone should really learn something from Petyr “littlefinger” Baelish…

why intjs are super cute

They are the biggest nerds. Super cute nerds. Talk with an intj about something they really are interested in or something they really love and watch their eyes come alive. The sparks of passion ignite their pupils. The subtle underlying emotion in their voice. Some of them even rush to talk, their lips barely keeping up with their rampaging brain. It’s beautiful and extremely cute.

They are lowkey softies. Every single one of them (that I have met) has that one thing that turns them into this super cute cooing baby. Usually, its their pets or animals. My dad is a very serious and intimidating man (thanks to the Ni-dom stare™) but get him my dog and he’ll be reduced to a cooing pile of cuteness. An old female intj friend of mine used to be like that with her cat too, she baby-talked to it and all.

They crave a little love and attention sometimes. Believe me when I tell you deep down they are softies, even if they don’t acknowledge it. Even if they may not  know how to respond to open displays of affection, nevertheless it’s important that people very close to them express their love for them every now and then. You wouldn’t believe how needy and clingy my dad gets sometimes. I’m a feeler and more often than not I get overwhelmed by him. Thinkers, as independent as they seem, need a lot of reassurance too, sometimes even more than Feelers.

Their love/hate humanity complex. As much as they may want to make implode half the population of this planet, they are very connected to humanity as a whole. They always lowkey hang on to the little string of hope in their hearts, that maybe, just maybe… there may be something redeemable about humans after all.

Dating Guide for your INTJ Part 1

1. A place where they can hold puppy dogs or kittens…OR BOTH. Also where they don’t need to feel like they have to talk to you as a social obligation. Their joy in playing with puppies will bring you joy later. 2. A book store that carries antique and leather bound books. Be prepared to follow them around while they inspect everything.  3. Take them to a screening of an old Indie Film related around one of their many varied interests.  4. Unleash them at a Museum.  5. Go to a hipster coffee shop, sit in a corner and quietly judge all the people with your INTJ. 6. Take your coffee to a park, sit on a bench and quietly judge all the people walking by.  7. Go to antique stores.  8. Take them to a lecture based on their area of study or an area of interest.  9. Teach them a new hobby that you’re really into. * 10. Sit next to them and watch really dumb tv. Judge all the reality tv stars together.  11. Buy them a cheap disposable camera. Take them on a hike. Let them take pictures of everything. Develop the film.  12. Take them on a road trip with stops along the way that deal with the historical significance of the area you are in. Bonus points if you read ahead and can teach* your INTJ new things. *INTJ’s become easily frustrated by people who are not good teachers, if you are not a good teacher do not try and teach your INTJ.

Reblog with other ideas. :)

When you go to an interview and your brain is like figuring out every answer to every question and you think you’re so confident you’re gonna get that job then the manager asks you a question but you’re like “uhm, uhm, I uhh”.!! Like why can’t I just deal with other people. Seriously!!?

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”.

Rate my squad: INTJ, ESFP x 3

I have been told a few times (well, so many times really) that I have a kind of "blunt affect" face. It's just my face gdmit! Why do people think it's a problem?

‘Finding yourself’ consists of peeling off years of social conditioning to find a self as it existed during childhood, un-masked.
