INTJ: Insensitive, Neurological, Thinking, Judges

We are not antagonists.

INTJ: Insensitive, Neurological, Thinking, Judges

Come your first Psychology, theology, science, and maybe even business class of college or high school - the infamous Myers-Briggs Personality Test will sooner or later find its way on your desk presenting you with a serious of questions, head-scratching moments, and sudden soul-searching quests. This questionnaire was specifically designed to categorize different people into 16 personality types. In a world preaching 'different' and sayings such as "out of the norm," one might combat against this system of personality classification. However, it is not meant to shackle any one into a predetermined personality - it is meant to better aid that person in understanding themselves, their vices and virtues, so that he or she may become a better person.

Each letter of the MBTI results stand for a characteristic: (E) for extraverted; (I) for introverted; (S) for sensing; (N) for intuition; (T) for thinking; (F) for feeling; (J) for judging; (P) for perspective. As previously stated, there are 16, four letter combinations to categorize people in, and if you are curious - you can simply find and take two or three exams from various sites online to see which one you accurately fit in.

However, if you already have prevailing knowledge about this and are reading this because a) you are an INTJ, or b) you are curious, then read on to see that INTJ's, the cold, rare personality types - are not as mean as they come out to be. Some famous INTJ's are actually Mark Zuckerburg, Karl Marx, Nikola Tesla, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jay-Z, and Sherlock Holmes.

Now, if you have any inkling of knowledge about the infamous INTJ's, then you know them to be cold, blunt, sarcastic, intelligent, quiet, and overall - the antagonist to the ENFJ protagonist. However, I would like to counter that. While we are not wholly social human beings, we are not the antagonist we can seem to be.

We are not consciously mean. We speak the truth, because we respect you and believe in nothing else but the truth. If you like the dress, don't let our comments hinder your decision on buying it; we merely say what we think, because we despise sugar-coated words, or long-winding sentences that can be surmised into three words.

It is a, "it's me, not you," kind of friendship with us. Our over-analytical minds have created walls too high for the average person to breach, and chances are - if you are looking for a close-knit friendship with us - it really may not happen. We treasure your efforts, but we have probably analyzed whether or not a deeper friendship with us is possible. So few exist that can tolerate us, and in the long-run - we are saving you the pain.

We are also not arrogant, or anti-social, we are just selective, and less socially-knowledgable than others. We prize mind over anything else, we dwell in our thoughts. Overtime our social skills will improve, yes, but know that we do not decline invitations or avoid gatherings on the basis that we think we are supremely above others. No, we only decline because we are soundly confident that our social inefficiencies are better left unpublicized and that forcing friendships and/or interactions is just an equation for disaster.

So we are not outright antagonists. We see you as equals and will treat you as we would want to be treated, and understand that not everyone can relate or deal with our brand of madness.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
