Caring for your INTJ

What are some of the things you wish people in your life understood about INTJs?

From an observer of the INTJ, probably their space and to not ask stupid questions?

Don't ask how we are feeling every two minutes....perpetually annoying

If you insist on buying us something as a gift do NOT make it a teddy bear or a cutesy toy

food is always good

I cut your post off at the exact point for my tastes. I really really hate people's attempts at buying me gifts. It's such failure.

And I agree... I would much rather someone impress me with a meal than something I will throw out.

was trying to be diplomatic

I fucking hate those toys though...feel pressured to keep them around and they stare at you..... mockingly.

Make your INTJ comfortable. Do not attempt to do things which you think your INTJ needs to do; such as own certain items; socialize more or have your interests. Your INTJ is likely well aware of these issues and has already decided what they are going to do about it. Insisting simply will cause the INTJ to decide that you do not value their individuality and they will go all awkward and stubborn.

Bolded for truth.

If we're not being total whiny bitches, we're very easy to please if given enough space.

Caring For Your INTJ - 101

1. Feed the INTJ
2. Entertain the INTJ
3. Love the INTJ

So, this is all that INTJ's require, right?

Sounds simple enough! Off to fetch me an INTJ...

*Note that 'love' may include excessive cuddling and affection.

Then you have to open up the gift in front of them, and try to put on a convincing act of feeling some positive emotion. Really, it would be so much more practical to just give your INTJ money if you feel you must give them something.

INTJ 101: If you ask us a question, expect us to take you seriously and approach it analytically.

Above all, what we want is independence. um, I like cutesy gifts.

oh, and always be to-the-point with us. We get annoyed at people hinting at things. That doesn't come intuitively and we have to analyze every possible meaning. remember that we have low-feeling needs, so if there is a problem, we may not even be aware of it unless it is clearly pointed out and explained logically.
