CHAT The INTJ critter

[Profit of Doom]

I found myself wondering (of course) if our little subspecies tends to be,
A. Conservative
2. Highly intelligent
Or are we A. because we are 2.
Perhaps we are 2. because we are A.
Getting a headache now.

 

[SwampMom]

Thanks for that. Now I find myself switching back and forth from wondering to wandering and back again.

 

[packyderms_wife]

I know plenty of INTJ's that are liberals.

 

[Grumphau]

It is an interesting question but impossible to know the answer without data across the political spectrum.

 

[Profit of Doom]

Do you know any liberals that are intelligent?

 

[WalknTrot]

Just a gut guess, but I doubt there's any political connection.

Here’s How Each Personality Type Feels About Politics - Personality Growth

Here’s How Each Personality Type Feels About Politics While this is always a bit of a sensitive topic, some people find it much more exhausting than others. Here is how each personality type feels about politics in general. INFJ INFJs can become surprisingly exhausted with politics, especially...

INTJs can become extremely frustrated with politics, since most of the politicians they see are completely idiots to them.

Do you know any liberals that are intelligent?

Unfortunately, yes. They are family. Genius IQ's but IQ does not equate with common sense or politics. They have many talents, but they have been swayed by the dark side of politics.

Any of them Luke's father?

Seems unlikely. Liberals are illogical, therefore can't be INTJ. They either lie on the test or lie to themselves...or to you.

INTJ Males 3.3%, females .9% of population. You must know a tremendous number of people to know "plenty of INTJ that are liberal" or even just "plenty of INTJ" period.

If you want to call me a liar I'm good with that.

That said, at the end of the day I live in a rather large rural university town filled with all sorts of researcher types, the majority of which are INTJ's. We tend to gravitate to university towns because they tend to be filled with people like ourselves who have an overwhelming dislike for extroverts. Yeah there are extroverts here, I mean after all the sports teams have cheerleaders. So when I say I know quite a few INTJ's that are liberals, you can take that to the bank.

This^^^ This is what I learned living in a university town for the past 28 years, genius, being an INTJ, doesn't always mean they have common sense, or can even drive a vehicle properly.

 

[packyderms_wife]

Do you know any liberals that are intelligent?

Intelligent? Yes. Do they have common sense? Nope.

 

[Tristan]

Define 'Intelligent'.

 

[Fake Shemp]

Intelligent? Yes. Do they have common sense? Nope.

I would take a bucket of common sense over a barrel of book smarts any day.

 

[Telescope Steve]

I am very fortunate because I married another INTJ before either of us knew what that meant. We give each other plenty of space to be ourselves. And our home does not have drama to stir the pot.

Well, you are my queen.

I know some very book smart people who have less common sense than a gnat.

I don't think it has anything to do with your alphabet standing, i don't think you can be A without being 2. You must be 2 to be A.

This INTJ basically shuns people if at all possible.

The amount of people I know is very small - and I have zero interest in interacting with others to find out what profile they have.

 

[Oreally]

all well and good, but this begs the question, why are there so many INTJs here?

 

[33dInd]

Thanks for that. Now I find myself switching back and forth from wondering to wandering and back again.

Are you saying your a switch hitter

 

[patriotgal]

all well and good, but this begs the question, why are there so many INTJs here?

Because we are home hiding from people.

Please pay particular attention to #11

My revision, excuse my language. Damn I miss periot and so much.

I shouldn’t have to tell you to tuck off you ****ing stupid idiot!

 

[Walrus Whisperer]

I thought that just the INFJs

 

[Ragnarok]

I gotta tell ya... This Myers-Briggs fellow has me pegged pretty well.


ISTJ
ISTJs often have their own personal beliefs when it comes to politics, ones that come from plenty of research and facts. ISTJs aren’t afraid to debate certain political topics with others, especially if those people are receptive and intelligent. Someone who the ISTJ can actually learn from, is truly intriguing for them. They don’t want to simply argue over something if the other person is lacking in information and completely obnoxious about it. ISTJs would rather not waste their time, and will likely shut that person down fairly quickly.

But I have to mansplain it anyway.

 

[Dennis Olson]

I believe all Asperger’s sufferers are ISTJs.

Just sayin

Please pay particular attention to #11

For me #11 is people who can't write or read electrical schematics, or draw and or can't see/understand complex 3 dimensional drawings.

It really annoys me, especially when they're in my trade.

Right there with you. Besides everyone should know their trees! They are the answer!

Instead of being annoyed/frustrated, I had to come to the realization years ago that many other people's brains are wired differently. There might possibly be a use for them in advancing the culture/knowledge base/human condition that I have yet to discover. Otherwise, I can't see the economy and natural selection value in so many of them being so spatially handicapped.
