#intj?

sometimes when i try to keep my guard up against others i imagine a shell around me. Like one of those mario kart items. I imagine it has spikes. It's impenetrable and snug, and it keeps me closed in and invulnerable, and it keeps me safe until it smothers me alive

"I suspect INTJ, as unlikely as it sounds." <- I do too. I think INTJ 395, actually. I see a lot of chronic 3 frustration, but it feels like you're being held back by 9/5 avoidance of conflict and 'giving up.'

This might explain why I'm so inactive physically, being low-energy and have a hard time grasping what sensing type could in hours (like riding a bike, I still can't figure out how to do it ... or playing guitar, what takes my uncle hours to get take me weeks and I still don't really get it). And a feeling that my hands can't go where and how my head want them to (strumming guitar while changing chords, for example).

But I still can't relate to 'predicting enemy's every moves' or planning out master plan and never anticipate the unpredictable changes (which are bound to happen) and address them. Or detailing exactly how I want everything to look like. For me it's like knowing this is what I will make happen, but it's not a full and absolute picture. It's like a flash of insight telling me "oh I'm on a right path". I can't predict the future and that's just what it is. Nobody can predict the future, because things are bound to change and changes are like ripples in water. It'll affect the outcome.

I figure it out as I go, I know what I want and that everything will fall in to place, one way or another, I just have to be patient and let it play out, tapping it here and there to make sure me and the situation I'm in stay on the right course. It's like navigating a boat, you know the destination, but there is no road sign in the sea. All you have to do is put a faith in your conscience, read the stars and waves and guide the boat to its destination. Sure, storms might come crashing down, bad weathers, unsuitable waves will disrupt the trip but you have to solve it to make sure you get to the destination safely. It's like a beacon in your head.

Oh, and my ETP old friends often asked me 'where the heck did your absolute goals come from?' which I don't know. It just happens and before I know it, it has become my life.

Which sounds -P like to me. I thought ITJs would be more ... controlling? of the outcome? I know one INTJ 5w6, he's a lot more ... isolated and quieter than I am. But here I am outsourcing myself again. I'll research a bit more and see what will be.

The only INTJ I can relate to is Voldemort (minus the psychopathic side). And that's not his great ability to predict the future (like Dumbledore's too), no, but I can understand how he crafts his personal symbolism into his Horcruxes and the implications in his defenses (the Locket, it's the reflection of Voldemort's pride and vanity, majestic but treacherous). I unintentionally do that too, many times.

ETA: I forgot Amon (INTJ 1w2 so/sp) from Legend of Korra. I kind of 'get' his thinking, especially how he let Korra go, knowing he has shaken her to her core already and her potential as a psychological weapon aimed toward the benders in the city.

I’ve been analyzing myself, like you do, and I’ve realized that there are some days when I’m just out of it and other days I’m extremely motivated and productive. In these days, I’ve realized that I don’t always act different to different people. Like, I still act my normal way. My out-of-it-ness only really affects how I interact in groups, I tend to reach for a connection and fail horribly. Anyway, it’s just that the difference between these different types of days isn’t how I act, but how I absorb information. On days when I’m out of it, I can’t focus and I can’t action absorb information. But on days when I am focused, I can, not only absorb information, but understand it perfectly. There’s probably an in-depth reason for this that is somehow linked to my personality type (INTJ), but this is what I have found out so now I can like, you know, plan for it. What to do on these unproductive days.

Ford seem more like an intj. He absorbs information like a machine and spews the result out in form of complete works (like the journals). You can see this tendency very well in ep. 12. His motivation behind this is to gain knowledge which he can connect into a single theory, which is typical Ni. Si is more conserved with idealization and gripping on to the past, which seem like something F couldn't care less about. But tertiary Fi is very much present.

INTJ is another type I am pondering with Ford. Need to watch more and analyze him intently. Thanks for your analysis.

fun fact in high school my class once took a myers briggs test and I got 100% on introvert.
