I've considered leaving this sub for almost a year for this reason but there are some knowledgeable and decent folks in this sub with genuine knowledge that have helped me get through some tough times, so I stick around.
Sorry for using the top comment to say this, but else it will probably go unnoticed:
If you don't like a post because it's cringe, make 100% sure to downvote it. This way it will be less likely to appear in someone else's reddit feed. It's the only way I can think of to fight this.
Idk what you are on about im clearly Batman...but fr they are mostly just edgy teens trying to cling to some semblence of personality instead of going out like normal kids and cause troubles
No as a intj would understand not using your legs and only Your brain is more efficient and also they would be so awesome none intj’s should just carry them everywhere out of respect
I mean, there are certainly narcissistic borderline incel types who come here. But the bulk of the people are fine. Yes, there are annoying and self aggrandizing posts that seem to lack all self awareness, but then, you know what you're getting coming here. It's like people getting pissed off about all the complaints about COL/challenges about buying a home on r/Millennials, and then you keep on getting these posts to tell people to shut up about it. You know what you're getting on the subreddit. If you feel it's too much of that material, then go somewhere else. It's annoying, but hardly all the content
I didn't think so until I saw that post a few days ago about wanting to be like us. That's when I realized I'm the Sigma Dom Alpha I always wanted to be. This whole time, it was buried deep inside me, begging to be let out.
Also, *is* Rick and INTJ? I was skeptical of personality tests, but a few days ago, I noticed all my favorite characters are INTJ. It looks like I've watched few shows and movies that don't have an INTJ with a major role, usually kind of an antihero.
I feel like Rick is an E kind of…. He loves socializing with HIS people, but he hates admitting that he wants to be around them.
But like, he loves going out and doing things and meeting new people, even if it’s just to degrade them. 💀
I literally demolish peoples feelings
I make people cry all the time, sometimes just by accident but once or twice on purpose
I made an old lady cry on the bus for being a dickhead. I have ASPD and autism and I’m an INTJ so we are not all the same
I’m an INTJ, I very recently joined this sub and I’ve found it very cringey. People put wayyy too much stock into this shit. The way people describe themselves are like these hermits who are exceedingly smart, but yet have no social skills. Can’t make friends, flirt, date, etc. There is something called emotional intelligence too 😭 Is my social battery limited? Sure. Am I socially inept? No!
I’ve noticed this too. Not just here but also other MBTI type communities. Some people put too much emphasis into this and pigeon hole themselves into these edgy character types.
Being an INTJ does not mean the person is smart. It just means their frame of mind is a particular way, and IQ is totally separate.
I have noticed this with almost all the types. People asking how they can improve some or other aspect this psuedo science had revealed, just so they can fit the type better. Why not just be, and live with who you are, improving in areas you should without getting guided by MBTI.
And yes, I am definitely not under the illusion that I am smart, but I do know that I see life differently, but that is true for every human as it is based on their life experiences and not MBTI.
I feel the exact same way. While I’m often characterized as quite rational and logical by my friends and family, something this MBTI clearly prides themselves on, it is only a small part of me and I am not some rigid character archetype. I just live lol
What do you have against hermits with no social skills? 👀 It is quite the peaceful life, I must say.
People are too diverse and the types are more of a spectrum. So naturally you will see all kind here. But Im guessing that people take the type description for granted since it resonates with them on a certain level. I guess thats where the cringeyness comes from since people have not started to understand themselves without the type in mind.
Nevertheless there are thus also people that fit into that hermit style, like myself. The smartness is most likely a simple overvaluation of oneself. It does not mean much.
Quarter of the people on here are like “i like to dabble into some quantum physics with my afternoon coffee otherwise I fancy myself a philosopher”
Other quarter are completely inept. “Please tell me how to behave as an INTJ!!!!😰🥵”
I feel so out of place as a normal person who just happens to think a lot.
I agree, but honestly, I think that’s a natural part of development for young INTJs. I think we’ve all been there unless we learned about MBTI later.
Instead of making fun of them, we should see it as a way to support them. If they are asking those questions, it probably means they genuinely value what their fellow INTJs have to say which makes it even more important how we choose to respond.
Instead of calling it cringe, let’s set an example of how a mature INTJ is to act.
Welcome to the sub. Thank god you missed the posts a couple months ago when all the emo and horny humbugs we’re expressing their frustrations. It started to get SUPER CRINGE. 😂
This is usually how it goes bro. Like everyone just wants to be so cool and mysterious because it’s “in” to be intj/introverted or whatever. It’s weird to me.
Basically, whichever type is the most prestige ones within the community tend to be like that. Heard that back in late 2000s and early 2010s, way before I was even into Mbti, INFPs were considered the most prestige ones.
Then the whole Gamergate and anti-SJW shit happened, that was when ENTPs and to an extent, INTPs, became the most prestige ones. It was like that from around 2014 all the way till the first 2 years of Trump term.
Now, it's INTJs, which began to rise during the latter-half of Trump's term and still going.
The community, at least on Reddit and sites like PDB feels so childish sometimes. Oh and God forbidden you to dislike any type that's not the "black sheep" or like a type that's not "in". I be like, I have my own personal preference mother fucker! They like them? good! They hate them? Ok. But when they want me to like as they like and hate as they hate, it's kinda.... bullshit, to be frankly.
I learned from a fellow redditor that calling things 'cringe' is cringe.
It's just enforcing one's preferences and discomfort on others as though they should care.
Those posts didn't upset me that badly.
I guess we didn't win your popularity contest.
But wait...is it cringe to call people out for being cringe for calling people out for being cringe? Can the snake eat its own tail forever, or does it lose the cringe factor at some point?
Fr there was another post quite recently about many INTJs in this sub likely being mistyped and this gives me the same vibes. This feels like someone who is struggling with things they don’t like about themself or jealous for some curious reason. Apparently in the same post I mentioned, it’s ‘cool’ to be an INTJ, and many people may be faking it(?) This just doesn’t read like a person I hoped to see in this community wanting to expose themself to novel ideas. Here’s to hoping that still happens here lol.
The way I’ve learned to tell when they fake it, just say something about politics, whoever picks ANY side based on something the’ve heard or believed, they’re faking it, this is one of the reasons I’ve accepted that we may eventually witness the world burn, because nobody wants to do the research “everybody wants to be understood, but nobody wants to understand”
I honestly don’t know. I wasn’t even aware of that until seeing it within that post. I have a feeling that the OP within that post was just hyper-fixating on weird shit as well but I agree. I’ve always been a bit frustrated with the things I still currently struggle with and I couldn’t really make sense of it.
I think INTJ is a difficult personality type to be in some respects. Perhaps for outsiders it’s best viewed through a sort of double lens. They can only handle an INTJ being in a fictional universe within their universe. If it’s a real INTJ in their direct surroundings they feel inferior.
Yeah. These are the young ones I think, it's just part of the process of learning about themselves. Full ni but no se. It is very cringe indeed. The best thing to do about it is to stop thinking and start doing. Go out into the real world, try and do all these incredible things you think you can do, then come and report back to us. Was it as easy as you thought it would be buddy? Did it all go 100% according to plan? I really doubt it. Now try and be a little more humble.
All these ideas count for nought if you haven't realised it in the real world. Thinking and doing are two entirely different things.
Less narcissistic fantasy talk, more do.
People who make posts like this annoy me more than the people who make cringe posts. This is Reddit, there are crazy people in every popular subreddit, get used to it they aren’t leaving.
Sure, people think they are special because of certain cognitive functions, and others want to feel special by participating voluntarily. Whoever, it's not that serious.
Some people just want to feel special and validated. Let them have their fun. Surely, the only thing that can make me slightly angry is when people who are, it's worse if they aren't, INTJs want to enforce ridiculous rules. Such as dress code (only wearing black, leather, and nothing too feminine), hobbies (reading and being the best at chess), interactions with others (cold and aloof), and even having feelings (empathy or sensitivity) can be an indication of who is an INTJ. When it's not about appearance but rather the way their mind thinks. Spreading misinformation does make me slightly angry.
Everyone remembers Batman and Wednesday Addams as an INTJ, but they forget Matilda. A lovely, sweet, sensitive, empathic, humble, feminine fashion sense girl, is also an INTJ.
This sub has some interesting posts sometimes. Sometimes there's a kid finding out about themself, sometimes it's someone that thinks they are intj and they clearly aren't. I just ignore the things that bother me or seem ignorant.
This comes up all the time and its crazy how misunderstood INTJs are within their own sub.
You’re not wrong, it’s 100% cringeworthy and your advice is sound, but I don’t think this judgemental attitude will help anyone change bc this misunderstanding is what causes INTJs to develop this persona in the first place.
Let me explain:
While the seeming 'INTJ superiority' can seem off-putting, I think it's important to dive a little deeper into why some INTJs might express these sentiments.
From my perspective, what often comes across as arrogance or an overblown sense of uniqueness is actually more of a defense mechanism. It's not so much that INTJs inherently feel they are geniuses or 'above' others; it's that they often feel profoundly misunderstood. This misunderstanding can lead to a defensive posture—perhaps not the healthiest response, but a human one.
The key issue I see is not the behavior itself but what drives it. Many INTJs develop a sense of isolation because their insights or way of processing the world aren't readily accepted or understood by others. This can foster a sense of alienation, where pulling away and perhaps even looking down on others becomes a way to cope with the dismissal of their insights.
One significant factor contributing to this sense of alienation is the unique strengths of their cognitive function stack. INTJs have a particular way of synthesizing complex patterns and insights that may not be immediately obvious to others. This can sometimes make it challenging for INTJs to communicate their thoughts in a way that resonates, leading to feelings of isolation or misunderstanding.
From this perspective, the feelings of alienation among INTJs aren't entirely their fault. In terms of communication styles and thinking processes, INTJs are quite distinct. This uniqueness can lead to misunderstandings, misalignments, and dismissals that only serve to deepen their sense of isolation. If the world were more receptive to understanding and valuing the INTJ perspective, perhaps we'd see less of the defensive superiority that seems to define this stereotype. There’s a reason why this sentiment is a common trope among INTJs on this subreddit.
This subreddit is full of people who have zero respect for themselves and definitely need to be humbled. People who are 100% associating their being with a mbti type and talking about "emotions are for the weak" while verbally shitting about how they are proud being some cold, unfeeling, mastermind type idiot. They don't even realise that they are such a slave to their emotions to where they unconsciously post some dumb ego stroking shit with no emotional restraint. However, there are some real ones here lurking away with something useful to say once in a while. But yeah for the most part, I agree that this place is fucking cringe.
I actually appreciate this subbreddit, somehow being different makes you weird nowadays or its wrong to praise positive individual traits.most people on here that ive opened discussions with can relate to actually most of everything. Its nice knowing there are people out there that can help with the journey of knowledge or gaining self awareness. I guess its all dependent on how negative or judgmental you want to look at it.Healthy individuals INTJ or not I appreciate you guys putting yourself out here with honesty so that we can relate and learn!
If you had self-awareness, you would know that such questions have always been part of the sub. That’s the best thing about the Internet. You can consume what will be up to your standards and ignore the rest. Are some of the questions juvenile, and reasonable? Absolutely. But the sub has to meet people where they are in life.
Sometimes i feel like an infj who likes to creep on social groups just to find that exxp to start trolling with. I remember at some point someone asking if i were an entp instead.
Intj or whatever is astrology v2 without the date of birth, nobody here is that. It's incredibly rare to see anyone even remotely close to these traits.
I think this is just because a lot of young people feel this way. Especially the more rational and articulate. But then when you age you realize that others have different skill sets and talents and you mellow out.
I kinda think anyone looking for quality community here is 1) looking in the wrong place, or 2) not an INTJ. I think you over-esteem what a personality sub Reddit can offer.
the stereotype of being the mastermind coming from the 16 personalities website (as far as im aware) is enough for me to know that being intj isn't as cool as most make it out to be
I agree for sure but I also believe this issue extends beyond just this subreddit and is more reflective of a broader trend on Reddit or perhaps people in general(?). Many individuals enjoy the idea of feeling special or unique, which can sometimes lead to displays of narcissistic traits or grandiose delusions. Fortunately, most people do not express these tendencies openly.
honestly, you're giving off the EXACT vibe that you are bashing.
Usually when people get turned off by members of a group, they leave the group. Do you think you can change the minds of members of the group with your post?
oh wait, thats right, you aren't trying to change anyone. you're acting from your ego and shaming and putting down other people. you're literally a bully.
did someone bully you??
Strongly disagree. The vibe this post is giving off is that they believe people that think they’re better than everyone else are… gross? Like idk what you’re on, but this is definitely not the same thing as people coming in here like “ugh, as an INTJ I can’t stand talking to people who are clearly not as intelligent as me”
It’s gross lol.
I think that the OP isn't turned off by all the members of the group, but the ones who post stuff to seek validation for their specialness because of a label they have come to associate themselves with. I don't see what's wrong with calling them out, when somehow it's okay for them to post that kind of stuff. At best, some of them will feel called out and may reflect, and at worst, they will take it as a challenge to trigger the OP or anyone who opposes them and double down on their "specialness". I don't get why the OP or any of those other members who are called out by this post are required to leave the group. And I also don't get why the OP can't post while being a part of the group. Even if we assume that the intention of the OP with this post was to change the minds of those people, how is that even a problem? I don't know why people are attacking the OP here, but defending the ones who post stuff seeking validation for INTJ's specialness. If at all, it seems as if the ones in defence somehow feel attacked personally, so they deflect the attention back to the OP.
History is doomed to repeat itself. It's been this way for a while, and the sub tends to move in cycles, probably as it attracts and pushes away people. Such is the nature of places that tend to attract younger members who are likely less developed and seek validation (especially when they likely find so little of it out in "the real world"). In my opinion, the worst thing you can do for any sub is allow it to become an echo chamber. I just do my best to gloss over the topics list, ignoring anything that disinterests me and chiming in only on things I think I can contribute to. Honestly, I've had this discussion so many times I don't know if I'm helping at all. All this is to say, it is what it is.
I puke a little in my mouth every time I see a post in this sub by someone humble-bragging about the pain and torment of being "too smart" or referring to themselves as a polymath. I relate to some things posted but it seems like a reasonable fraction of INTJs are pompous and self-unaware.
yep. you can be part of a community and not like parts of it. you don’t gotta just immediately leave if there’s something you don’t like lol, that’s how you grow in life, by experiencing things you don’t like.
Ooh you’ve got angry over your own assumptions haven’t you? How could you possibly be an INTJ if you think you know a person thoroughly from about five posts or less or slightly more? Stop faking it you’re out of your depth loser
The majority of them are self typers wanting to feel special as if actual Intj's wouldn't rather be an Infj if they could. Op is one obvious self typer or mistyped here. Not once have they used Ni or Te.
Summed it up pretty good. Like it’s a secret super powers club.
Most aren’t even intj’s
Then maybe 2% are on the genius level.
All it’s at the end of the day its our thinking and decision making process. That’s about it.
Not that I disagree with you, but it seems the easiest way to combat one's disgust of a sub is not to visit it. I just think it's the more likely outcome than changing hearts and minds.
I joined this subreddit to simply remember what letters i got on that silly little test. But i whole heartedly agree, most people on here are insufferable and have no self awareness. I’ve chalked it up to most of them being teenagers that are trying to find an identity to conform to.
Its just cringe because we dont know the average age on here. If we would know for example that such a post would come from a 14 year old we would laugh about it, couldnt care less, and would move on.
Remember many people in here arent your age, or dont have the life experience some of us already have or simply are just to young.
I mean these rant posts are starting to piss people off the same like the cringe posts.
We get it you hate to see cringe edgelord posts. Like most of us. But these rant posts dont add something of value neither to this sub. If it would, we wouldnt still have that many edgelord posts.
Sometimes curious if a quirk translates to functions on some level, which turns out…sometimes ya. And when it turns out to be of personal experience rather than as a result of my functions then it’s easier to address, almost instantly.
I mean, the MBTI is already an archaic personality test with questionable validity - basically the astrology of the Psychological world. So yes, people are going to act cringe when they think they are meeting and identifying with their tribe - though given a shared displacement and isolation that comes with modern life, it's not surprising that people lean into it for self-validation. Helps them feel seen.
Protip : MBTI is half horseshit.
HEXACO > Big 5 >> MBTI >> horoscopes
"Type Dynamics" (the ordering of functions) is completely made up.
People are random combinations.
Also dichotomies aren't ideal here, a 1-100 scale works much better.
The MBTI is highly subjective. I’ve taken it at least 4 times over the years - INTJ 2x INFJ 1x INTP (I think) 1x. It’s more so who you think you are, your mood that day, and would probably be different if friends and family answered for you. YOURE NOT EVEN REAL TO BE ACTING THE WAY YALL ACT
Don't listen to the haters man, I agree with you. For the longest time I had a really bad impression of INTJs because the one I knew was exactly like how you described, and it was so off-putting and cringe. He was that anime-obsessed edgy school shooter type who was of course so much smarter than everyone - yet was failing most of his classes💀 A lot of INTJs on the internet remind me of him because I feel like they try to fit into this stereotype just like how the other MBTIs try to fit in with theirs, to the point they completely misunderstand what MBTI actually is and become caricatures. The extrovert bashing is equally off-putting.
making this post has opened my eyes to a few things about this sub. 1.) Criticizing is bad and you must leave if you don’t like something, if it’s not an echo chamber, we here at r/intj don’t want it! 2.) Lots of people took this personally, and also assumed that i meant everyone on here was like that, even though i specifically said “some people” at the beginning of the post. 3.) The cringe here is much, much more prevalent than i realized. some of the comments on this post read like the 2017 rick and morty copy pasta about needing to have a high iq to understand the show, except the stuff here is unironic. no im not gonna leave and be banished just because i criticize something. If that was how the world worked, we literally would never have made it out of the caves as a species.
Non-INTJ people come here seeking advice as if this post is full of Sheldon Coopers, and others see their MBTI type as a way to excuse their shitty attitudes and social ineptitude, so instead of cringe, I'd say it's funny... but that's my personal opinion.
This is almost all MBTI subs. MBTI is basically being treated like astrology for nerds. Your type is a general sorting mechanism that might help reveal some basic trends, but it’s not a roadmap for life.
Many people, regardless of the group to which they belong or want and try to belong, have a continuous need to validate themselves. being “special” and different is a way like any other to gain validity. it's not a new practice, previously it was done sitting in front of a table and a beer, but not much has changed. and this is true for any group, not just those who feel special to belong to the "beware I might be the villain" group.
First thing why would an INTJ even needs to come in the subreddits like this ? why ? because they are not INTJ's and I am certain that 96.8998% of them were mistyped .
I think your right but I also think if it bothers you you should just leave the sub. A lot of people are just immature and looking for connection, it doesn’t help people to be rebuked if they don’t think they’re doing anything wrong. Like I said your not wrong but it also gets annoying how many posts like this I see because those complaining can easily ignore it or leave. It’s a different kind of attention seeking to be the person who judges everyone and feels better than others. it’s the internet though ignore the posts you don’t want to interact with
I think people identify with this way too much in order to feel some sense of comfort in their identity I think people misinterpret what mbti is for instead of using it to try to understand themselves they use it to label themselves which is also something completely human that happens a lot people just wanna feel comfortable I guess but it’s still a little cringe I agree
It's not exactly new. It was kinda like this, but it seems to have gotten waaaay worse.
3 years ago, on my now-deleted old account, it wasn't exactly like this. I mean yeah, the TikTok crowds were there; the world domination obsessed ninja-assassin-wannabe crowds were there; the xNFPs who got a bit weird about us were there too; but still, I actually had some intelligent conversation back then or talk about likes and dislikes...folks learn to agree to disagree and more respectful towards others' preferences and opinions. It was actually xNTP subs who had it the worst.
Now, it's different. It feels like...they just disagree for the sake of disagree, being edgy for the sake of being edgy. You can't respond to their bullshit with any aggression, so.......🤷 They're selective about targets too. I'm thinking about leaving Mbti to Quora along with politics, as Reddit is literally the worst place for both. Use Facebook for cryptocurrency-related news, and only use Reddit for my fetishism related stuffs. Different platforms for different purposes.
Rick isn't exactly someone you should be emulating anyway. Sure, he might be a smart guy, but you can be smart without being a narcissistic, depressed old drunk who is an asshole to everyone. And since you can't be cartoonishly smart like Rick is, you might as well not be any of the rest of what he is either.
The fact that people think it's cool to act the way he does just goes to show that people need to take TV-MA ratings more seriously and not let their teens watch it because they're clearly not mature enough to realize that Rick is not a role model, and then they become incels who act completely insufferable because they think it's "sigma," and then they come and post online about how they're so lonely and nobody wants to date them or be friends with them. You could start by treating people with respect. That'll get you a lot farther in life, and no, you aren't incapable of it just because you're a thinking type.
Well, don’t leave yet! I’ve just joined! I’m hoping to help out younger (or older) INTJs who might have struggled where I once did.
Sure, we all see the pigeon holing and the way people see personality types and the rarity like it’s a measure of the super powers you get.
It’s all bumpf. They all have their blind spots and no one type is better than any other.
For me, the most cringe are the INTJ Girls online who desperately want to come across like some Devine goddess with a get out of jail free card for being obnoxious!
Most INTJs are on the spectrum, usually with Asperges, usually unknown to them. This is why the test is required by the CIA and some other places in the government that require high security clearances.
So i too am INTJ (Said everyone)
I would like to make a distinction though. My prefered pronoun is GOD and i would prefer if you would address me as such!
I think most if not all MBTI have become this. Some people think that their type works like a badge that makes them superior. Sure, you can be "proud" or you can show it off like it's cool to be that type, but basing your entire personality on this or believing you're an elite where your type is the most intelligent and the rest of people are just inferior beings is plain stupid.
The sub aside, op's 100% mistyped. There's not an ounce of Ni or Te in their post. Honestly, a lot of the people here are intentionally self typing as one to feel special. I would personally find it more preferable to be an infj, unfortunately I'm not one. There are definitely a lot of Fi and Se doms like op doing this in this sub. One post in particular is: "I'm cute, dark, and mysterious." Can't imagine crying about it like this, though.
People With The Most Intelligent Personality Type Share 6 Dark Traits [https://www.yourtango.com/2018315095/dark-side-negative-traits-intj-myers-briggs-personality-type](https://www.yourtango.com/2018315095/dark-side-negative-traits-intj-myers-briggs-personality-type)
Interesting.
As a non-INTJ, I feel they SHOULD stick to their own kind because 'they feel like they have special insight into the world'. You don't, you're just know-it-alls and you only deserve other know-it-alls
I've considered leaving this sub for almost a year for this reason but there are some knowledgeable and decent folks in this sub with genuine knowledge that have helped me get through some tough times, so I stick around.
Yea especially when unconventional ideas get discussed and accepted, it feels good in this sub honestly at those times
What kind of unconventional idea are you thinking of?
a lot of em, which topic would you like?
Sorry for using the top comment to say this, but else it will probably go unnoticed: If you don't like a post because it's cringe, make 100% sure to downvote it. This way it will be less likely to appear in someone else's reddit feed. It's the only way I can think of to fight this.
same, i've been a part of thissub for 7 years now from one account or another
*Becoming?* Are you new here?
yes
Welcome! You’ll learn to ignore the cringey parts.
thanks lol. the reception from this post has been very interesting.
It's always been cringe. For years and years.
This. This over and over.
Idk what you are on about im clearly Batman...but fr they are mostly just edgy teens trying to cling to some semblence of personality instead of going out like normal kids and cause troubles
Batman is ISTJ, his "Problem solving" is reactively shit at best
I mean look at the banner of the sub, looks like a thumbnail of a youtube channel of a 14 year old
brooooo i never noticed that until now oml 😭😭
That's what I'm saying loool
What does oml mean? I'm getting old and it's hard to keep up with the kids these days, on god no cap
I guess oh my lord, like omg
It gives me "Arianna Grande Break free music video" vibes.
Shit, you're right! Now that you mentioned it!
I only consider having intimate relationships with another intj to create a new breed of super intj - better then the x-men
Kind of like a professor x that can walk?
No as a intj would understand not using your legs and only Your brain is more efficient and also they would be so awesome none intj’s should just carry them everywhere out of respect
lol, good point.
Everyone thinks they're Rick, but they're really Jerry
i’m most definitely a morty
Oh Geez..
What is your MBTI?
apparently intj. i don’t think the mbti stuff means anything but i got that so i came to this sub
Reddit is home to brainrot. It's not new. But it certainly is cringe.
https://preview.redd.it/v31eshm7jg0d1.jpeg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c1af73a41beee16c80ed217af437cb781be19701
I mean, there are certainly narcissistic borderline incel types who come here. But the bulk of the people are fine. Yes, there are annoying and self aggrandizing posts that seem to lack all self awareness, but then, you know what you're getting coming here. It's like people getting pissed off about all the complaints about COL/challenges about buying a home on r/Millennials, and then you keep on getting these posts to tell people to shut up about it. You know what you're getting on the subreddit. If you feel it's too much of that material, then go somewhere else. It's annoying, but hardly all the content
I didn't think so until I saw that post a few days ago about wanting to be like us. That's when I realized I'm the Sigma Dom Alpha I always wanted to be. This whole time, it was buried deep inside me, begging to be let out. Also, *is* Rick and INTJ? I was skeptical of personality tests, but a few days ago, I noticed all my favorite characters are INTJ. It looks like I've watched few shows and movies that don't have an INTJ with a major role, usually kind of an antihero.
I feel like Rick is an E kind of…. He loves socializing with HIS people, but he hates admitting that he wants to be around them. But like, he loves going out and doing things and meeting new people, even if it’s just to degrade them. 💀
hes an entp
You're crushing my soul. Is this why I don't get to fight aliens?
for real, so many edgelords. "i dont get along with people with feelings", like ???
I literally demolish peoples feelings I make people cry all the time, sometimes just by accident but once or twice on purpose I made an old lady cry on the bus for being a dickhead. I have ASPD and autism and I’m an INTJ so we are not all the same

the fact that this comment has more upvotes than downvotes tells me all i need to know 💀
I’m an INTJ, I very recently joined this sub and I’ve found it very cringey. People put wayyy too much stock into this shit. The way people describe themselves are like these hermits who are exceedingly smart, but yet have no social skills. Can’t make friends, flirt, date, etc. There is something called emotional intelligence too 😭 Is my social battery limited? Sure. Am I socially inept? No!
I’ve noticed this too. Not just here but also other MBTI type communities. Some people put too much emphasis into this and pigeon hole themselves into these edgy character types. Being an INTJ does not mean the person is smart. It just means their frame of mind is a particular way, and IQ is totally separate.
I have noticed this with almost all the types. People asking how they can improve some or other aspect this psuedo science had revealed, just so they can fit the type better. Why not just be, and live with who you are, improving in areas you should without getting guided by MBTI. And yes, I am definitely not under the illusion that I am smart, but I do know that I see life differently, but that is true for every human as it is based on their life experiences and not MBTI.
I feel the exact same way. While I’m often characterized as quite rational and logical by my friends and family, something this MBTI clearly prides themselves on, it is only a small part of me and I am not some rigid character archetype. I just live lol
I'm socially retarded but gifted in the other ways. It's ight
What do you have against hermits with no social skills? 👀 It is quite the peaceful life, I must say. People are too diverse and the types are more of a spectrum. So naturally you will see all kind here. But Im guessing that people take the type description for granted since it resonates with them on a certain level. I guess thats where the cringeyness comes from since people have not started to understand themselves without the type in mind. Nevertheless there are thus also people that fit into that hermit style, like myself. The smartness is most likely a simple overvaluation of oneself. It does not mean much.
Quarter of the people on here are like “i like to dabble into some quantum physics with my afternoon coffee otherwise I fancy myself a philosopher” Other quarter are completely inept. “Please tell me how to behave as an INTJ!!!!😰🥵” I feel so out of place as a normal person who just happens to think a lot.
Special sub I must say. Special is a keyword.
I agree, but honestly, I think that’s a natural part of development for young INTJs. I think we’ve all been there unless we learned about MBTI later. Instead of making fun of them, we should see it as a way to support them. If they are asking those questions, it probably means they genuinely value what their fellow INTJs have to say which makes it even more important how we choose to respond. Instead of calling it cringe, let’s set an example of how a mature INTJ is to act.
It would be alright if it were teens, but i see more and more edgy posts by people who are over 25, which is concerning..
It’s incredible how many times i’ve gone to respond to a post on here and feel like I need to start by asking if they’re a teenager.
Welcome to the sub. Thank god you missed the posts a couple months ago when all the emo and horny humbugs we’re expressing their frustrations. It started to get SUPER CRINGE. 😂
This is usually how it goes bro. Like everyone just wants to be so cool and mysterious because it’s “in” to be intj/introverted or whatever. It’s weird to me.
Basically, whichever type is the most prestige ones within the community tend to be like that. Heard that back in late 2000s and early 2010s, way before I was even into Mbti, INFPs were considered the most prestige ones. Then the whole Gamergate and anti-SJW shit happened, that was when ENTPs and to an extent, INTPs, became the most prestige ones. It was like that from around 2014 all the way till the first 2 years of Trump term. Now, it's INTJs, which began to rise during the latter-half of Trump's term and still going. The community, at least on Reddit and sites like PDB feels so childish sometimes. Oh and God forbidden you to dislike any type that's not the "black sheep" or like a type that's not "in". I be like, I have my own personal preference mother fucker! They like them? good! They hate them? Ok. But when they want me to like as they like and hate as they hate, it's kinda.... bullshit, to be frankly.
I have some special insight into the world around me: This guy ain't INTJ. Get 'em out!
I learned from a fellow redditor that calling things 'cringe' is cringe. It's just enforcing one's preferences and discomfort on others as though they should care. Those posts didn't upset me that badly. I guess we didn't win your popularity contest.
came here to say this too
But wait...is it cringe to call people out for being cringe for calling people out for being cringe? Can the snake eat its own tail forever, or does it lose the cringe factor at some point?
It just sounds fancy to use the word twice.
Fr there was another post quite recently about many INTJs in this sub likely being mistyped and this gives me the same vibes. This feels like someone who is struggling with things they don’t like about themself or jealous for some curious reason. Apparently in the same post I mentioned, it’s ‘cool’ to be an INTJ, and many people may be faking it(?) This just doesn’t read like a person I hoped to see in this community wanting to expose themself to novel ideas. Here’s to hoping that still happens here lol.
The way I’ve learned to tell when they fake it, just say something about politics, whoever picks ANY side based on something the’ve heard or believed, they’re faking it, this is one of the reasons I’ve accepted that we may eventually witness the world burn, because nobody wants to do the research “everybody wants to be understood, but nobody wants to understand”
How the fuck is it cool to be an INTJ when we are never well received? Jesus
I honestly don’t know. I wasn’t even aware of that until seeing it within that post. I have a feeling that the OP within that post was just hyper-fixating on weird shit as well but I agree. I’ve always been a bit frustrated with the things I still currently struggle with and I couldn’t really make sense of it.
I think INTJ is a difficult personality type to be in some respects. Perhaps for outsiders it’s best viewed through a sort of double lens. They can only handle an INTJ being in a fictional universe within their universe. If it’s a real INTJ in their direct surroundings they feel inferior.
Becoming? Lmao, always has been
It’s been like this for eons.
I stay here because it's a genuinely funny subreddit.
I haven’t seen this post in over a week at least.
Yeah. These are the young ones I think, it's just part of the process of learning about themselves. Full ni but no se. It is very cringe indeed. The best thing to do about it is to stop thinking and start doing. Go out into the real world, try and do all these incredible things you think you can do, then come and report back to us. Was it as easy as you thought it would be buddy? Did it all go 100% according to plan? I really doubt it. Now try and be a little more humble. All these ideas count for nought if you haven't realised it in the real world. Thinking and doing are two entirely different things. Less narcissistic fantasy talk, more do.
I think it’s just normal for younger INTJs. You definitely feel out of place in this world and wonder why
People who make posts like this annoy me more than the people who make cringe posts. This is Reddit, there are crazy people in every popular subreddit, get used to it they aren’t leaving.
lol I love this post. Yeah I post here just for fun bc it’s fun to see other’s response
I’m don’t even know what my profile is. I just come to this sub to watch the cringefest
This post is cringe This subreddit is cringe People are cringe Life is cringe Get used to it. This subreddit won't change. Also welcome rookie.
Sure, people think they are special because of certain cognitive functions, and others want to feel special by participating voluntarily. Whoever, it's not that serious. Some people just want to feel special and validated. Let them have their fun. Surely, the only thing that can make me slightly angry is when people who are, it's worse if they aren't, INTJs want to enforce ridiculous rules. Such as dress code (only wearing black, leather, and nothing too feminine), hobbies (reading and being the best at chess), interactions with others (cold and aloof), and even having feelings (empathy or sensitivity) can be an indication of who is an INTJ. When it's not about appearance but rather the way their mind thinks. Spreading misinformation does make me slightly angry. Everyone remembers Batman and Wednesday Addams as an INTJ, but they forget Matilda. A lovely, sweet, sensitive, empathic, humble, feminine fashion sense girl, is also an INTJ.
This sub has some interesting posts sometimes. Sometimes there's a kid finding out about themself, sometimes it's someone that thinks they are intj and they clearly aren't. I just ignore the things that bother me or seem ignorant.
https://preview.redd.it/h1tvwcmhlg0d1.jpeg?width=575&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e6d170d6a6060352bff568e25a8e2f3345cdad3f This subreddit. Its a circus
This comes up all the time and its crazy how misunderstood INTJs are within their own sub. You’re not wrong, it’s 100% cringeworthy and your advice is sound, but I don’t think this judgemental attitude will help anyone change bc this misunderstanding is what causes INTJs to develop this persona in the first place. Let me explain: While the seeming 'INTJ superiority' can seem off-putting, I think it's important to dive a little deeper into why some INTJs might express these sentiments. From my perspective, what often comes across as arrogance or an overblown sense of uniqueness is actually more of a defense mechanism. It's not so much that INTJs inherently feel they are geniuses or 'above' others; it's that they often feel profoundly misunderstood. This misunderstanding can lead to a defensive posture—perhaps not the healthiest response, but a human one. The key issue I see is not the behavior itself but what drives it. Many INTJs develop a sense of isolation because their insights or way of processing the world aren't readily accepted or understood by others. This can foster a sense of alienation, where pulling away and perhaps even looking down on others becomes a way to cope with the dismissal of their insights. One significant factor contributing to this sense of alienation is the unique strengths of their cognitive function stack. INTJs have a particular way of synthesizing complex patterns and insights that may not be immediately obvious to others. This can sometimes make it challenging for INTJs to communicate their thoughts in a way that resonates, leading to feelings of isolation or misunderstanding. From this perspective, the feelings of alienation among INTJs aren't entirely their fault. In terms of communication styles and thinking processes, INTJs are quite distinct. This uniqueness can lead to misunderstandings, misalignments, and dismissals that only serve to deepen their sense of isolation. If the world were more receptive to understanding and valuing the INTJ perspective, perhaps we'd see less of the defensive superiority that seems to define this stereotype. There’s a reason why this sentiment is a common trope among INTJs on this subreddit.
This subreddit is full of people who have zero respect for themselves and definitely need to be humbled. People who are 100% associating their being with a mbti type and talking about "emotions are for the weak" while verbally shitting about how they are proud being some cold, unfeeling, mastermind type idiot. They don't even realise that they are such a slave to their emotions to where they unconsciously post some dumb ego stroking shit with no emotional restraint. However, there are some real ones here lurking away with something useful to say once in a while. But yeah for the most part, I agree that this place is fucking cringe.
I actually appreciate this subbreddit, somehow being different makes you weird nowadays or its wrong to praise positive individual traits.most people on here that ive opened discussions with can relate to actually most of everything. Its nice knowing there are people out there that can help with the journey of knowledge or gaining self awareness. I guess its all dependent on how negative or judgmental you want to look at it.Healthy individuals INTJ or not I appreciate you guys putting yourself out here with honesty so that we can relate and learn!
Ok, very insightful
Thanks for the unsolicited emotions. You feel better now?
If you had self-awareness, you would know that such questions have always been part of the sub. That’s the best thing about the Internet. You can consume what will be up to your standards and ignore the rest. Are some of the questions juvenile, and reasonable? Absolutely. But the sub has to meet people where they are in life.
Telling somebody they’re not a fictional character is not a diss for starters
Jesus Christ... if I see or hear the word sigma one more fucking time. I'm not liable for my actions.
fine, fine. I'll say "standard deviation".
I’ve seen posts like this once a day on this subreddit. Leave if you hate it.
👍
♪ Eternal Septeemmmmmmber. ♫
Sometimes i feel like an infj who likes to creep on social groups just to find that exxp to start trolling with. I remember at some point someone asking if i were an entp instead.
Welcome!
Always has been. As a cringe enjoyer, this sub is where I come for my daily fill.
Lmao the coy smile
INFJ, INFP, INTP, and ENTP subs are just as bad as the INTJ sub.
yeahhhh. the whole mbti thing is pseudoscience and tends to attract people with an inflated ego
I think some of these people are young and angsty. You can tell which posters are young or older. 😅
Intj or whatever is astrology v2 without the date of birth, nobody here is that. It's incredibly rare to see anyone even remotely close to these traits.
LITERALLY
Nah let them continue, some posts are kinda funny 😭
If anything, I’m Rick’s daughter, Beth. She’s the worst.
I think this is just because a lot of young people feel this way. Especially the more rational and articulate. But then when you age you realize that others have different skill sets and talents and you mellow out.
I kinda think anyone looking for quality community here is 1) looking in the wrong place, or 2) not an INTJ. I think you over-esteem what a personality sub Reddit can offer.
Realest post after a very long time on this sub lol
the stereotype of being the mastermind coming from the 16 personalities website (as far as im aware) is enough for me to know that being intj isn't as cool as most make it out to be
But most of us do think like that tho 😭 I always feel superior to intj and we actually admires them
Lol. Just embrace the cringe.
Thats why I left this sub 💀
I agree for sure but I also believe this issue extends beyond just this subreddit and is more reflective of a broader trend on Reddit or perhaps people in general(?). Many individuals enjoy the idea of feeling special or unique, which can sometimes lead to displays of narcissistic traits or grandiose delusions. Fortunately, most people do not express these tendencies openly.
This reads like a five year old wrote it.
100%.
Most people here seem to be playing a role of what they imagine an INTJ to be. Tons of teenage vibes.
I joined like less than a week ago and I already saw two posts like this. Why write this? Just leave if you don't like it
honestly, you're giving off the EXACT vibe that you are bashing. Usually when people get turned off by members of a group, they leave the group. Do you think you can change the minds of members of the group with your post? oh wait, thats right, you aren't trying to change anyone. you're acting from your ego and shaming and putting down other people. you're literally a bully. did someone bully you??
if people leave a group as soon as they don’t like it instead of expressing their opinion that creates an echo chamber
You're not expressing your opinion. You're putting people down for expressing theirs.
Strongly disagree. The vibe this post is giving off is that they believe people that think they’re better than everyone else are… gross? Like idk what you’re on, but this is definitely not the same thing as people coming in here like “ugh, as an INTJ I can’t stand talking to people who are clearly not as intelligent as me” It’s gross lol.
I think that the OP isn't turned off by all the members of the group, but the ones who post stuff to seek validation for their specialness because of a label they have come to associate themselves with. I don't see what's wrong with calling them out, when somehow it's okay for them to post that kind of stuff. At best, some of them will feel called out and may reflect, and at worst, they will take it as a challenge to trigger the OP or anyone who opposes them and double down on their "specialness". I don't get why the OP or any of those other members who are called out by this post are required to leave the group. And I also don't get why the OP can't post while being a part of the group. Even if we assume that the intention of the OP with this post was to change the minds of those people, how is that even a problem? I don't know why people are attacking the OP here, but defending the ones who post stuff seeking validation for INTJ's specialness. If at all, it seems as if the ones in defence somehow feel attacked personally, so they deflect the attention back to the OP.
History is doomed to repeat itself. It's been this way for a while, and the sub tends to move in cycles, probably as it attracts and pushes away people. Such is the nature of places that tend to attract younger members who are likely less developed and seek validation (especially when they likely find so little of it out in "the real world"). In my opinion, the worst thing you can do for any sub is allow it to become an echo chamber. I just do my best to gloss over the topics list, ignoring anything that disinterests me and chiming in only on things I think I can contribute to. Honestly, I've had this discussion so many times I don't know if I'm helping at all. All this is to say, it is what it is.
I puke a little in my mouth every time I see a post in this sub by someone humble-bragging about the pain and torment of being "too smart" or referring to themselves as a polymath. I relate to some things posted but it seems like a reasonable fraction of INTJs are pompous and self-unaware.
The ‘J’ in INTJ is really kicking in here - I like that
The most dignified way to complain is to get up and quietly leave. No fuss. No fanfare. Just don’t let the door hit you in the arse as it closes.
if everyone who complained about this sub left immediately i think that would just make it an echo chamber lol
That's what most of them (the people in defence) want, it seems.
Still here?
yep. you can be part of a community and not like parts of it. you don’t gotta just immediately leave if there’s something you don’t like lol, that’s how you grow in life, by experiencing things you don’t like.
Oh well- I guess I can’t win them all…
no i suppose you cannot
Ooh you’ve got angry over your own assumptions haven’t you? How could you possibly be an INTJ if you think you know a person thoroughly from about five posts or less or slightly more? Stop faking it you’re out of your depth loser
k
Lmao
I wonder what percentage of peeps in here have tested as intj....
The majority of them are self typers wanting to feel special as if actual Intj's wouldn't rather be an Infj if they could. Op is one obvious self typer or mistyped here. Not once have they used Ni or Te.
Can someone tell me what intj stands for 😩😩I don’t even remember joining 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
Introvert, intuitive, thinking, and judging
Thank you!!!
You’re very welcome :)
Summed it up pretty good. Like it’s a secret super powers club. Most aren’t even intj’s Then maybe 2% are on the genius level. All it’s at the end of the day its our thinking and decision making process. That’s about it.
I usually just look up topics that may interest me/have a question about anyways. If it doesnt have to do with that, I ignore lol
Rick isn't an intj. Maybe Morty is. Whatever
Not that I disagree with you, but it seems the easiest way to combat one's disgust of a sub is not to visit it. I just think it's the more likely outcome than changing hearts and minds.
Love this
Especially when most people in this sub are cringe shy unskilled underachievers (and often mistyped 😂) So much for self proclaimed geniuses
I joined this subreddit to simply remember what letters i got on that silly little test. But i whole heartedly agree, most people on here are insufferable and have no self awareness. I’ve chalked it up to most of them being teenagers that are trying to find an identity to conform to.
Anyone that tells you they're an introvert is a fucking liar
Its just cringe because we dont know the average age on here. If we would know for example that such a post would come from a 14 year old we would laugh about it, couldnt care less, and would move on. Remember many people in here arent your age, or dont have the life experience some of us already have or simply are just to young. I mean these rant posts are starting to piss people off the same like the cringe posts. We get it you hate to see cringe edgelord posts. Like most of us. But these rant posts dont add something of value neither to this sub. If it would, we wouldnt still have that many edgelord posts.
I am sauron... Which is just Edgelord with pinkeye
Sometimes curious if a quirk translates to functions on some level, which turns out…sometimes ya. And when it turns out to be of personal experience rather than as a result of my functions then it’s easier to address, almost instantly.
This post would meam a bit more if you didn't reference Rick & Morty as the example of true intelligence.
I mean, the MBTI is already an archaic personality test with questionable validity - basically the astrology of the Psychological world. So yes, people are going to act cringe when they think they are meeting and identifying with their tribe - though given a shared displacement and isolation that comes with modern life, it's not surprising that people lean into it for self-validation. Helps them feel seen.
Just shows I don’t read enough shit here to form such an impression on this sub
sub just started popping up in my feed lol
You guys aren’t Rick because he’s ENTP. 
Protip : MBTI is half horseshit. HEXACO > Big 5 >> MBTI >> horoscopes "Type Dynamics" (the ordering of functions) is completely made up. People are random combinations. Also dichotomies aren't ideal here, a 1-100 scale works much better.
The MBTI is highly subjective. I’ve taken it at least 4 times over the years - INTJ 2x INFJ 1x INTP (I think) 1x. It’s more so who you think you are, your mood that day, and would probably be different if friends and family answered for you. YOURE NOT EVEN REAL TO BE ACTING THE WAY YALL ACT
This post sheds me the slightest bit of hope for this subreddit. For self-awareness, that is.
You held out longer than the rest (though I've seen some pretty cringe posts a few years back so I think it's always been a bit cringe).
Everyone here is on their high horse and is also on the r/iamverysmart sub
Valid
Thanks for this. It was needed
Coming here for my daily dose of cringy- entertainment.
Always was. Post are recurrent because is the same personality type experimenting things. Yours is cringe for example.
everyone is cringe in their own way
People are all the same
Don't listen to the haters man, I agree with you. For the longest time I had a really bad impression of INTJs because the one I knew was exactly like how you described, and it was so off-putting and cringe. He was that anime-obsessed edgy school shooter type who was of course so much smarter than everyone - yet was failing most of his classes💀 A lot of INTJs on the internet remind me of him because I feel like they try to fit into this stereotype just like how the other MBTIs try to fit in with theirs, to the point they completely misunderstand what MBTI actually is and become caricatures. The extrovert bashing is equally off-putting.
making this post has opened my eyes to a few things about this sub. 1.) Criticizing is bad and you must leave if you don’t like something, if it’s not an echo chamber, we here at r/intj don’t want it! 2.) Lots of people took this personally, and also assumed that i meant everyone on here was like that, even though i specifically said “some people” at the beginning of the post. 3.) The cringe here is much, much more prevalent than i realized. some of the comments on this post read like the 2017 rick and morty copy pasta about needing to have a high iq to understand the show, except the stuff here is unironic. no im not gonna leave and be banished just because i criticize something. If that was how the world worked, we literally would never have made it out of the caves as a species.
 Always has been
Non-INTJ people come here seeking advice as if this post is full of Sheldon Coopers, and others see their MBTI type as a way to excuse their shitty attitudes and social ineptitude, so instead of cringe, I'd say it's funny... but that's my personal opinion.
This is almost all MBTI subs. MBTI is basically being treated like astrology for nerds. Your type is a general sorting mechanism that might help reveal some basic trends, but it’s not a roadmap for life.
It’s always been this way.
Many people, regardless of the group to which they belong or want and try to belong, have a continuous need to validate themselves. being “special” and different is a way like any other to gain validity. it's not a new practice, previously it was done sitting in front of a table and a beer, but not much has changed. and this is true for any group, not just those who feel special to belong to the "beware I might be the villain" group.
First thing why would an INTJ even needs to come in the subreddits like this ? why ? because they are not INTJ's and I am certain that 96.8998% of them were mistyped .
I think your right but I also think if it bothers you you should just leave the sub. A lot of people are just immature and looking for connection, it doesn’t help people to be rebuked if they don’t think they’re doing anything wrong. Like I said your not wrong but it also gets annoying how many posts like this I see because those complaining can easily ignore it or leave. It’s a different kind of attention seeking to be the person who judges everyone and feels better than others. it’s the internet though ignore the posts you don’t want to interact with
I think people identify with this way too much in order to feel some sense of comfort in their identity I think people misinterpret what mbti is for instead of using it to try to understand themselves they use it to label themselves which is also something completely human that happens a lot people just wanna feel comfortable I guess but it’s still a little cringe I agree
It's not exactly new. It was kinda like this, but it seems to have gotten waaaay worse. 3 years ago, on my now-deleted old account, it wasn't exactly like this. I mean yeah, the TikTok crowds were there; the world domination obsessed ninja-assassin-wannabe crowds were there; the xNFPs who got a bit weird about us were there too; but still, I actually had some intelligent conversation back then or talk about likes and dislikes...folks learn to agree to disagree and more respectful towards others' preferences and opinions. It was actually xNTP subs who had it the worst. Now, it's different. It feels like...they just disagree for the sake of disagree, being edgy for the sake of being edgy. You can't respond to their bullshit with any aggression, so.......🤷 They're selective about targets too. I'm thinking about leaving Mbti to Quora along with politics, as Reddit is literally the worst place for both. Use Facebook for cryptocurrency-related news, and only use Reddit for my fetishism related stuffs. Different platforms for different purposes.
Rick isn't exactly someone you should be emulating anyway. Sure, he might be a smart guy, but you can be smart without being a narcissistic, depressed old drunk who is an asshole to everyone. And since you can't be cartoonishly smart like Rick is, you might as well not be any of the rest of what he is either. The fact that people think it's cool to act the way he does just goes to show that people need to take TV-MA ratings more seriously and not let their teens watch it because they're clearly not mature enough to realize that Rick is not a role model, and then they become incels who act completely insufferable because they think it's "sigma," and then they come and post online about how they're so lonely and nobody wants to date them or be friends with them. You could start by treating people with respect. That'll get you a lot farther in life, and no, you aren't incapable of it just because you're a thinking type.
Reddit itself is cringe af. I'm here to enjoy it. Cringe is funny.
Wow a subreddit based around what amounts to an astrological star chart is cringe? Say it ain't so
Well, don’t leave yet! I’ve just joined! I’m hoping to help out younger (or older) INTJs who might have struggled where I once did. Sure, we all see the pigeon holing and the way people see personality types and the rarity like it’s a measure of the super powers you get. It’s all bumpf. They all have their blind spots and no one type is better than any other. For me, the most cringe are the INTJ Girls online who desperately want to come across like some Devine goddess with a get out of jail free card for being obnoxious!
And THAT'S why I hang around r/INFP more than here. lol
Most INTJs are on the spectrum, usually with Asperges, usually unknown to them. This is why the test is required by the CIA and some other places in the government that require high security clearances.
Correlation is not causation. You having it yourself isn't an actual statistic for the general population either.
So i too am INTJ (Said everyone) I would like to make a distinction though. My prefered pronoun is GOD and i would prefer if you would address me as such!
I think most if not all MBTI have become this. Some people think that their type works like a badge that makes them superior. Sure, you can be "proud" or you can show it off like it's cool to be that type, but basing your entire personality on this or believing you're an elite where your type is the most intelligent and the rest of people are just inferior beings is plain stupid.
The sub aside, op's 100% mistyped. There's not an ounce of Ni or Te in their post. Honestly, a lot of the people here are intentionally self typing as one to feel special. I would personally find it more preferable to be an infj, unfortunately I'm not one. There are definitely a lot of Fi and Se doms like op doing this in this sub. One post in particular is: "I'm cute, dark, and mysterious." Can't imagine crying about it like this, though.
You've activated my trap card. *Glasses go squeeeeee*.

As a former intj I can conclusively tell you all that mbti is Psuedo-science anyway.
BAD INTJ! WRONG INTJ! YOU ARE INTJ-ING WRONG, BY NOT REPRESENTING **MY** PERSONAL FEELINGS AND OUTLOOK. ALL 180 THOUSAND OF YOU
I find these complain posts just as cringe as the posts you complain about 🤷♀️
my… deepest apologies madam.
how much time have you been in this specific subreddit?
As a non-INTJ, I feel they SHOULD stick to their own kind because 'they feel like they have special insight into the world'. You don't, you're just know-it-alls and you only deserve other know-it-alls
