This is the first video I made without filtering Te and just as expected it's also the video where I lost the most subscribers. INTJs, don't ever be ashamed of your strengths even when the world tries to silence you. People are going to hate us no matter what we do, even if it doesn't concern them. This video was made for us and They Not Like Us 🎶

"When an INTJ masters the top four functions we are everyone and we are everywhere."
This is a very positive vision of the INTJ.

This might be one of my favorites, if not my favorite video you have made so far. I loved it. I felt it in me bones!! I cackled, I clapped, I shared with my two INTJ friends and the parent of an INTJ child I know. Well done, Jon. And I dug your poem, man. 5 stars!

Thank you for speaking of the type that almost no one care about in real life, who can be ignored, rejected, truly underestimated, and is invisible. (Even by others INTJ)

Hey John, just want to thank you for the efforts you put into your videos.

I really look forward to them. I get a sense of relieve as it makes me feel like I am not alone and I too deserve a spot on earth.

Thank you for making me appreciate myself! 💙

[CRlifeisgood]

I feel like I wrote this myself. Especially the i can do ANYTHING but I have to WANT it.
I also totally get the never bored part... i don't know what that is..Fi is definitely a moral compass. I think people are lucky we have that large moral compass because imagine how much of a villain we could become if we didn't !!

[radovicimihai]

40 years of living and I barely found someone to think like me, and now i find "some guy" on YouTube who thinks and speak exactly like me...(No 5 is scary but i have one rule ..only in self defense or else i can do really bad stuff) . Thank you for your videos.

[shannapeterson]

This video is THE best Jon ! Thank you 🙏🏼 🥰

2:43 concerning this aspect of us, a great quote I found from someone talking about an INTJ (can’t remember sorry) goes along the lines of
“Our mind is in the clouds, but our hands are in the dirt”

[xxsometeawouldbenicexx]

LMAO thanks for the boost in confidence!
Recently subscribed because everything you say is actually so relatable

[lalc]

It´s awesome how different people but with the same cognitive functions can have the same thoughs for many topics. It´s so relatable. Your ideas are so relatable. A fellow INTJ here =)

Being supposedly an INTJ I will say this much - when it comes to interacting with people I'm quite adept at first impression reading. What I mean by that? I mean that I'm detecting bullshit when I meet somebody for the first time. This is very practical because I know when I absolutely don't want somebody in my life. A useful talent when you don't have a lot of time and don't want to waste what little time you have.

Second thing is what you mentioned about never being bored. I practically don't stop thinking and I'm very aware of that. There is always some thought marinating in the background that I can use in the future after it's been analysed or thought through. This is incredibly valuable to me especially because of my passion for TTRPGs as I can use that trait of mine to think inbetween sessions what to do next and still do something else at the same time. This is closely related to our obsession with future.

[sonicmaths]

go deeper! I think that'd be a great idea
I fully agree that INTJs can learn stuff quite fast since they are like machines doin' stuff all the time unlike INTPs (like me) who are inclined to think that thinking is an activity. It is, but it doesn't get stuff done even if an arbitrary INTP has solved the problem in his mind; not doing anything with the solution is so Ti and so incredibly bad to the degree that it can lead to frustration and (irreversible) procrastination xD
A great INTJ friend of mine is productive throughout the day; he does so very efficiently and gets a lot of stuff done while I'm sometimes way too lazy to do anything other than thinking abt stuff. INTJs have the eminent advantage of Ni as their apex function which is sheer willpower. This means they can will themselves through almost anything (in order to achieve their goals/visions/whatever). It's just that we abstract (intuition as a primary or auxiliary function) ppl are way too uncommon (~30% of the population) and therefore must appear extraterrestrial to the concrete ppl

So, I have great respect for INTJs in general. They'd make great politicians, way better than any INTP ever could be

Once again... Spot on!
Great video!
If you ever end up in Belgium you've got a place to crash...
👍

[shillout]

Once again I wish I was one of you, you guys are awesome in so many ways /INFJ

[tinarodriguez]

Awesome young man. Keep up the good work. Do what makes you happy.

As I'm sure you already do with any youtube comment, take this with a grain of salt.

That said, this video sounds like it was mostly sourced from memes.

Since we can't change our type, and since every type suffers from the same basic issue of one-sidedness anyway, we may as well each enjoy being whatever type we are. And for those who struggle to see something good in themselves, it can be a useful starting point to recognize certain advantages (and the corresponding disadvantages) of having certain cognitive preferences.

But far more important than our wiring is our choices. Even if we (falsely) pretend like we just flat-out have more potential than any other type, it means jack squat if we don't learn how to steward it in a productive and positive way. I understand we all need a starting point, so things like this video can be legitimately helpful in getting some basic validation for how we might stereotypically appear externally or feel internally. I guess I'd just like to add that it's only a very basic starting point, and not a ticket to a worthwhile life.

I wish I could show this to my father.

[NugrahaNedi]

When an INTJ isn't manipulating and just being straightforward, in situations at the office, people and the officials end up accusing the INTJ of being the mastermind behind the issue.

[wangshiyao]

Aura is just an abstraction of all the little details we consciously and subconsciously notice about a person and process in our brain. In Te speak it's just 'profile'. Mixed with a bit of hocus pocus and gen z language, aura is a perfectly valid word choice XD
