20+ Things An INTJ Would Like You To Know About Them

ADVERTISEMENT

You may see INTJs as aloof, arrogant, and over-analytical (there may be some truth to that) and most likely they will find no reason why they have to explain themselves. This time though, to set things straight, I will explain why.

Illustration style inspired by Yu Nagaba and Sena Doi.

INTJ – In Life. At Work. In Love

We like to be moving to the kind of life that we always imagined

We like to learn so we can do things our way

ADVERTISEMENT

Our curiosity arises from anything. We become immersed with our own thoughts

When ideas are formed, we want to see it through. It excites us to work on those ideas

ADVERTISEMENT

If our plans end up just as ideas, we get frustrated

We approach problems methodically, even with emotions

ADVERTISEMENT

It’s draining to have constant social interactions

Bullies get the surprise of their life when they try to bully us

All we really want is some space

To create life long connections we need to get past small talk

ADVERTISEMENT

We only allow limited number of people in our lives

ADVERTISEMENT

When you are in, you’re IN

And being IN means you get to see the part where not a lot of people get to see

We just don’t understand why people hate doing things alone

Without the prying eyes, we get to be ourselves

Titles are just labels

ADVERTISEMENT

Forgive our (hurtful) bluntness

The Achilles heel of INTJs – romance

Waiting for your INTJ to make a move? You will need patience..lots of it

I suggest telling them what you want to say directly. They will appreciate your guts

If one is already hard enough, what’s the sense of making it twice as hard?

Isn’t it great to find someone who finds comfort in silence and you can do nothing with?

This article described me to a T in almost all aspects. The illustrations and section titles are great. Thanks for writing, drawing and posting this.

Hopefully this provided a glimpse of our personality and showed our perspective to the people who matter to us.

Right in the feels... Its so hard to make ppl understand when we don't want to explain ourselves but we want them to understand the true essence of our complicated personality.

Thanks! Yeah, I feel you. Sometimes I just wish they get why we do, think, act, express things in our own way.

the worst part for love for me as an intj is that when i try i always fail at getting the girl or they end up backing out on the date, but when i don't try the ones i know absolutely nothing about come pouring in. I always have to put them off lightly to morally not seem desperate but then I start think-they're-thinking im playing hard to get (im not making this up) and it just feels awkward right after when im doing daily stuff then constantly think about what if i went out with them and if im being a hypocrite because thats basically the same thing girls i seek do to me. It baffles me everytime because im not even attractive (plus im a guy).

Ha! So relevant to me! But, what I really hard to find is how to explain if I am an INTJ but I love cute and simple things 😂😂😂 Like I am an INTJ and Hufflepuff.
