YOU KNOW YOU ARE AN INTJ:
if by age 15 you have found at last one fatal flaw, or know you could find it, in every philosophical system ever designed by man or God;
if your friends say to you: ‘I share everything about me with you, but I don’t know anything about you’ and then they go on talking…;
if having watched a good movie or read a classic book you have already determined how you yourself could have done it better;
if you think of fishing as a waste of time as it gets a person nowhere;
if your friends tell you they were intimidated by you for three years before they got to know you and you regard it as a compliment;
if your kid’s friends say to them “.. why does your dad hate me?”;
if when in a group and someone suggests ‘hey, lets go dancing’ or ‘lets go do some karoake’; you immediately plot your exit;
if your wife has asked you, maybe more than once, “you don't really believe it when you say you may be the smartest person alive, right?”;
if you are always bored by small talk – and you just assume the other person is probably not going to be interested in discussing the theoretical implications of quantum mechanics;
if you read the first 20 pages of this thread and found it funny;
if you can quickly and accurately size up another’s personality profile type, but understand that over 80% of the world is not the least bit interested so you don’t bring it up, pretty much ever;
If you don't get how other people can think that the movie ‘Social Network’ portrayed Facebook founder Mark Zuckerman in any sort of negative way;
if you ask your few good friends why some people might find you distant or arrogant and they always seem to reply ‘because you are..’ ;
if you have to purposely dumb down your satirical posts so at least half the people might pick up on the fact that it is satire..;
if you’re just way too comfortable with cost benefit ratios (and excel spreadsheets)
if you routinely feel lonely in a group of people;
if, when sitting in the bathroom, you analyze the floor for patterns (and possible life theories);
if girls say they are attracted to your “mind";
if you have explained it to others that you are 'pretty funny', given the the right audience;
if you look up at others and say this (a lot): “what was it you just said?”
I was guilty of not dumbing down my satire to a fellow intuitive and soon received a profile infraction for it. I was annoyed and amused at the same time. Annoyed that you can't make satirical jokes to even those few who understand it without having to listen less intelligent to whine about it, and amused that the moment I stop dumbing down my jokes someone is instantly insulted.
