Took the MBTI years ago and recently the report resurfaced because I was in the midst of springcleaning. I took emergenetics before as well, and rather than to compare both tests, I would say they complement each other to help you find ways to improve yourself.
So, the report aside.. Let me tell you more first-hand about INTJ. Actually it is just about being me. (Because the first instinct for INTJ is to doubt the accuracy of such tests that try to fit us into stereotypes, nobody can fit INTJs into anything except us. Get it?)
So growing up was a hell lot of self-exploration because...
1. cannot stand conversing with people who talks slowly
2. why don't they understand what i'm talking about, it's simple things.
3. i don't feel like talking to you. but when i do, you better not do the same to me.
4. me time is more important than together time and none shall disturb
5. i can give you advice, but you better take it. if not, don't ask.
6. the mind is forever on something, thinking about things. i've actually wondered what goes in others' minds, is it the same?
7. the life plan is real. you know i've actually charted out my almost 15 years modest financial plan, and when the salary increment fell short by 2% last year, it felt like my whole life is ruined. (Yes, ruined! Hahaha) nahh but INTJs bounce back and replan.
8. similarly, when i plan to head out with you for a rare gathering (because you must be important to me that i actually agree to attend), and you cancel on me? my whole day is ruined.
9. only like to read fiction books, don't like TV.
10. being weird and like weird things (like recently i'm into sichuan face changing act. so cultural.)
11. Curious. (How did they perform the face changing act? but after knowing the secret, the interest dies down a lil)
12. Don't like to talk to strangers (i could stay in group camp for five days and still not be friends with some mates)
13. But when i talk, i make sure you have to hear the complete tale.
14. Trust has to be earned, but once on, you have to be ready to hear me out. A lot. But once you are deemed unreliable, sorry that's it.
15. If something happens, i need solution, not deliberation. So don't talk nonsense, anything you have to say, tell me after the problem is solved. And if you can't solve, i will find a way somehow.
16. It takes you three days to work on an essay? Me too. Just that i take 2.5 days to plan, and 0.5 days to write. Planning is everything. That's why better grades. (my flatmates used to say that i always do last minute work and still get good grades. no, even thinking in the head is planning)
17. Needs to look at all the factors before coming to any decision. Therefore, don't appreciate micro-management.
18. Enjoys learning. Learning is everything to me.
19. Sometimes i wonder how the mind fits in such a lot of information, and when did i acquire those mini bits of info!?
20. Sometimes i forget. I forget to tell you important things because in my mind it has already been classified as logical action.
But of course being an INTJ, I have my likes on being one too.
1. Super independent. Even going to Africa alone for the first time wasn't an issue. In fact, just leave it to me.
2. You need work done? I will do it for you as long as you are the one. Because we enjoy work.
3. I need my sleep. i've figured five hours is enough to keep me functional eventhough more is def better.
4. We are good at certain things that we are passionate about. Or rather, we make sure we become good. I can go on the whole day about Internet Governance and Social Issues of the Internet. Or about my work.
5. We don't really work just for the sake of working. It has to be of our interest, challenging and have an appreciative environment.
6. I want the logo shifted 1mm to the right means just that. 1mm to the right, no more no less, must do. don't like to play games.
7. Being rational and logical works. Can't deal with emo stuff, absolutely.
8. Not enough. What i'm doing is not enough. How can I do better.
9. Loyalty.
10. Easy on fashion. As long as i like the cutting, i'll just buy the same :) the same tailor has been making my shirts since my first job 😂
Ahh well. Sometimes i attribute my weirdness to being an INTJ, but i know it's just me being weird la! ;) plus im a Libran wahahaa
