This is all fun and games until your life doesn't play out the way you expected or saw it happening. When Ni fails, depression. Or even sometimes when it succeeds and you realize your motives were crap, also depression. Ni can be an effing curse as a savior function.

"I recognized the chameleon and no longer want to crawl on the earth and change colors
and be reborn; instead I want to exist from my own force,
like the sun which gives light and does not suck light."
C.G. Jung, The Red Book: Liber Novus

Thank you so much for this video. It helped me clarify I am an INxJ. Everyone at school sees me as this tough, popular, ESTP kind of person but nobody knows that when I go home I just watch mbti videos and have an existential crisis. I think this is why so many INxJs are into MBTI. They don’t understand themselves. They have conflicting identities. They manipulate but not necessarily in a bad way. They’re faking it till they make it but don’t even realize it. This is an aspect of Ni that I never heard about before, and it’s definitely very interesting. Btw, I really like the way you ended the explanation. It was really cinematic. It’s nice to finally feel so understood. Once again, thank you so much.

This is why everyone thinks I’m intelligent, but I’m not really. I just learnt enough to appear competent, although I give the impression of being an expert.

Dressing like a homeless person for the whole month going to the gym and groceries, but if you're going out with the friends/dating once every full moon looking like a super model...and that's just one example lol

[Lordschwabell]

You just explained why INTJs can do everthing. No matter what needed we focus on the goal.

[gnomeschmaltzky]

I wonder if this isn’t why so many folks who use Ni as a first function have such a hard time typing themselves? Perhaps they’ve become so good at “portraying” an <insert your favorite MBTI type or function here> in order to manifest whatever they’ve been trying to bring into being over time that their essential self has gotten kind of…lost. This was inspired!

LiJo that is such a beautiful Thumbnail 🥺 I clicked before reading the title

This video deserve an Oscar for explaining INTJs brain in such a metaphoric but yet
Poetical way. Fake it until you make it. It is like becoming superman for a few moment
Until the prophecy is accomplished like being habited by a force driving you to push over
your real weight because of this goal that need to come from spirit world to physical one
using you as a channel. You don't even need to search for motivation you become the motivator.
And it look so natural to behave like that : imagine my suprise discovering that only few people
operate like this instead of everyone as i was assuming before psychology & MBTi.
Well done Lijo such a beautifull Brain hmmm.

If you don't have Ni, you can't understand Ni. If you have Ni, you don't need an explanation. 😊

[southwife]

yes....and Ni turns, and walks silently off the back stage....you hear the quiet click of a door
Thanks Lindsay....

[GaryKlineCA]

This is what I admired about my wife, a teacher. She could be in front of people all day, day after day, and make it work. I can be "on stage" for a day at most, and then I just don't have the capacity to do that again for a while. Pretending to be a social person is a lot of work.

when you're an intj filmmaker: 👁👄👁

[rocknrollfawn]

This characteristic is exactly why I deeply enjoyed owning a dance studio...choreography, scenery, programs, and the whole recital process was right up my alley.

[ben.ny_si.ms]

started mentally chanting “fake it till you make it” when the scenario was presented and was almost instantly humbled 😅 no one like an INTJ to do that, i suppose - INFJ

[AntonyReed]

So true. And do this for 20-30 years and you actually build skills that make you seem to some like an ES type if you forget to take your mask off.

[BehindThe]

your ability to take abstract ideas and articulate them in the most understandable and concise way is pretty incredible. literally every video i’m like “wow that was so well said and explains my entire life” lol. I’m sure it helps to have time to plan out the videos and talking points, but thanks for doing the hard work of bringing it all down to the sensory world and making it accessible for others :) I relate to this video a lot - learning certain skills just enough in order to achieve an end goal, then taking what I’ve learned for another situation in the future. all the time!!

[lliw]

Thank you really thank you for this information Ni can be a trickster at times !!!

[DanGoodman-nb]

As an older INTJ who has lived my movie most of my life, working with deep 99th percentile intellectual and physical gifts. But time & tide wait for no man. But I see this incessant focused directing rampant throughout my life.

But I made my choices & had a good run. I have known about MBTI for most of my adult life but only really looked deeper.

Great content LiJo.

[isaaliz]

this explains why I used to act like an infj (without even knowing) and after the social events I'd feel like I was faking something lmao. now I know I'm actually an intj (even though sometimes I think I feel like I'm not similar to other intjs in some topics, but that's probably because I'm young and my cognitive functions are still in development, and also bc now im getting more comfortable with being who I am). thanks for the video! you're always helping me to understand my personality better
