Yes, INTJs are foxy :D It's also the perfect middle-ground between catlike
and doglike tendencies that we'd fit. Never thought of that animal to
describe it before but I think it's perfect. I like cats and hate loud dogs
and pack tendencies even though I don't dislike dogs and don't lack all
attributes of them.
+Rob Trindade I agree. I'm probably somewhere between a tiger and a lone wolf, which could only be a fox.The older I've gotten, though, the more I've grown fond of socializing with friends of value.
Enneagram 8s are like the Hulk and 6s are like General Ross's army. Someone
pisses off the 8 who becomes this angry, wild creature. The response of the
terrified 6s is to throw everything they have against the 8 who becomes
angrier and more destructive. This continues until everything is destroyed.
The 8 only calms down when someone who genuinely likes them kindly asks
them to stop. The 6s on the other hand remain on high alert waiting for the
8 to lash out again, only to aggravate him further.
I'm hoping anyone here (particularly NTJs) can give me advice.
My older brother is an INTJ. I am INTP. He is a CEO for a very successful
engineering business and I work in Research and Development of a company
that makes algorithms for data mining. He's about 30 and I'm 20 (I know,
huge age gap)
I find it hard to have conversations/hang out with him. He usually won't
talk about stuff. So I'll ask him about work, and he won't really respond
(he'll say, "It's good"). I know since he is pretty interested in technical
stuff, sometimes I'll talk about things like articles I read about
environmental science or physics. He will just nod his head but won't
really say anything. Sometimes when I will say something he finds deep he
will say one or two things and I can see on his eyes he found it
enlightening and he is emotional but he still won't talk.
I feel like he's always in his head. I really respect him and want to be
able to connect to him. But I have no idea what to talk about. Other people
ask me if he doesn't like them. That's not the case, he just doesn't
communicate unless he's at work. Even his wife feels like he's always in
his head.
The only time my brother will talk to me is when he wants to tell me to do
something. I just graduated last year. He is looking out for me. He will
tell me things like go to this bank, invest your salary here, etc. He will
also make plans for me (they are very intense, like a plan for how I will
make 20 million dollars in five years, etc.) I'm not even sure if his plans
will work (but he is absolutely certain they will), but when he makes one
he starts planning out every little detail and I think he gets confused and
surprised and offended when I try to tell him I don't want to do it.
How do I get my brother to be more engaged and out of his head? What are
things I (an INTP) can do to have a conversation with an INTJ?
+freedomsszs then my advice to him as a follow Ti user is to tell his brother that he is an independent thinker who uses his own methods to get what he wants and there is no need for his brother to step in unless there are gaps in his knowledge that he needs filled, and he will let his brother know exactly what those gaps are so he can provide relevant information.
+TheSlavicShuffler But he is offended because he doesn't get it not because he think the intp is wrong. So it is the intp's job to explain himself in order for this to actually be solved.
+freedomsszs he clearly said that his brother gets offended when his help is refused, so until his brother learns to respect his individual choices the relationship will not improve. Perhaps he could try giving advice when asked.
+TheSlavicShuffler Then he should tell him exactly that because i am sure his brother is not trying to insult him and is only trying to be beneficial rather than thinking he is stupid and can't plan for himself. He needs to know that that is what it looks like to the intp because there is no other way for him to know except if the intp chooses to tell him.
+TheSlavicShuffler that is called insecurity actually (to think asking for advise as a lack of intelligence) and is not a Ti thing. The guy asked for advise from NTJ's and I am happy to help him
+Mark Smith Lol an intp will only care about a human-being when that human is worse than them emotionally (INTJ) hahaha I am just joking. I am an INTJ and I think your brother turned to be this way because it WORKS. So in his head, being like that got him to where he is (which is true) and he DEFINITELY loves you a lot but he genuinely thinks you know and that he doesn't need to show anything. I know if I plan for someone their life, it means I consider them as important as my own self. It is the way an INTJ shows the ultimate care, trust me. Accept that this is his way of communicating care. He probably gets hurt when you reject his help and probably thinks you don't appreciate it. I would say the best approach is honesty. The thing with Fe users is that they rather shower you with love and be very political and take a curved smoother road to get to you to do what they want. But if you really want to reach to your brother, get comfortable with using Te. i mean be honest, direct, logical and to the point. He'll listen and (((He won't be hurt))) He'll actually admire you a lot more for being straightforward. Tell him ( and you don't need to be like 'hey let's talk' just start talking whenever) that you would like him to talk to you more rather than plan for you. That you rather have a day together to sit down and chill than to constantly be working. He won't be offended. He'll be glad you told him what makes you happy because he WANTS to make you happy. That is the problem with dominante Ni users with inferior Se. They live in their head for the future. and living in the moment and enjoying life is difficult.
+ImaginaryMdA Until your world is so slow you can't build anything else. (Well, if you make industrial choices - if you just draw things with blocks, almost infinite)
I've actually seen a type of game that sometimes could use a little more of
these. Certain visual novels for example show what can happen when you
don't use the illusion of choice enough. Small insignificant choices that
don't branch back can end up tripping up other more significant choices
leading to a different ending entirely (possibly a very bad one) thus
leading to more people needing to use strategy guides.
For example, I once played a game where it gave you the choice of what your
character was going to drink (and I'm not talking alcoholic drinks) and you
had to know which one to chose or the next couple of choices changed
leading to a chain reaction causing you to eventually not get the ending
you wanted.
And this is true with other games of different genres entirely.
+Yukari Yakumo The reason why it's even like that though is because the cost of that game might as well be the same as making a reeeeeally long picture book. The cost of making all these different storylines is NOTHING compared to multi million dollar game. One that costs millions before the choices can even be programmed. In fact most visual novels probably doesn't even reach 10,000 dollars to make and if it does that has to be a REALLY REALLY BIG visual novel, with sequels and voice acting...maybe some professional animation for cutscenes or intros and outros (unless you count something like Phoenix Wright as a visual novel due to it having those elements, but the cost is due to numerous other things that don't count towards normal visual novels).Visual novels are cheap, in fact you could make one right now for really cheap and even free if you can manage to do everything by yourself.
You know, the first thing I thought of with the example given at 2:37 was
Telltale's The Walking Dead game. Oftentimes, you'll make decisions that
tend to diverge the gameplay slightly depending on who you side with. And
having the "_*_* will remember that," was a surprisingly good way to let
the player know that their decision actually had some form of impact.
Characters would often tend to bring up these points in future arguments,
especially if you decided to side with one character after siding with the
one they just argued with. But on a second playthrough, you would normally
go back through, doing the opposite of what you did the previous
playthrough, and realize that most of your decisions had little to impact
at all, with most outcomes mostly being the same no matter what decision
you made.
+Christian Ingham (Dazurak) What I think is powerful about The Walking Dead vs. Mass Effect, is that TWD did not bother trying to tell you that your choices ultimately mattered to anyone but you. Hell, they put the comparison of different pathways for yours vs. others' choices right in the end of the chapter. Then, TWD is an experience utterly different than ME. The former is a horror game, and for the reasons they've given here and in other movies, is a great example of a game. For me, it was a really hard-hitting, powerful experience. ME was similar, but it was empowerment fantasy up to the last 15 or so minutes, in which the entire curtain and curtain rod is ripped down and out of the wall. You're forced into a place where, for all the hours you spent leveling, building relationships, and in my case, spending quite a lot of time online getting the numbers up for the war, you are utterly powerless. This wouldn't have been an issue in TWD because that's expected because of the genre and the expectations the game builds right from the beginning. Hell, when I started the game and tried to save Hershel's kid, because I'd never played a Telltale Game before I reloaded my save and tried a different dialogue option, thought maybe I was being too slow, reloaded again, then finally got the idea of "Oh. This is a fixed point in time. The only thing that matters is my response" that the game was already operating under. In ME not only are our choices supposed to narratively matter (whole parts of dialogue trees change depending on how you crafted your backstory, some subtle, some not; same goes for whoever your romantic partner was) but you are empowered by the game to affect deep change on the whole of the universe. Granted, the Reavers have been saying this whole time "You can't understand us," and "Your feelings/reactions/etc. are irrelevant" but then you start kicking Reaver ass in ME3 and winning big time only to have all of that really swept away in the last 5-10 minutes of the story. The DLC they added in to retcon some of the ending did mollify the anger I held, but I did have quite a bit of anger for awhile for sinking 100 hours into a powerful experience only for the ending to fall as flat as it did.
Mirrors edge is a master at making levels that feel much bigger through
visual clues to hint at your direction, especially early in the game. In
those parts, you're running at full speed, improvising your escape route to
find a way to safety, and by having the visual style of the game mostly
barren whites with individual bold colours (bright red) the designers
constantly show where the 'right' path is, even though that's the only one,
a feature that is only complemented by the fact that the whole game takes
place on rooftops, and a wrong path leads you plummeting to your death.
The illusion of choice was amazing in Mirrors Edge, much like how it was in the PS3-4 exclusive Infamous series. The choices in those games really only saw that you either get new powers or characters get new dialogue relating to that choice, but the amazing thing that makes it feel like a choice is how the characters personalities change and shift with everything you do. Npcs are running scared/cheering for you, you're friends are more harsh about the things you've done/care about you (the character) and ask if you have gotten past everything that has happened, relationships with other characters can crumble and be completely destroyed/you're love interest reconciles with you or you're close friend acts like a brother ("love can bloom on the battlefield" Otacon - Metal Gear Solid PS1)
Ugh. The topic "The Illusion of Choice" always end up inspiring such *whiny*
conversations.
I'm so bored of seeing people bitch about how their choices are not
"meaningful" enough, when what they really mean is they're hurt that the
consequences of their choices aren't 100% *unique* and different from
everyone else's consequences.
This is video is dedicated to discussing and introducing Carl Jung to anyone who may not know or have limited knowledge of who he was and his substantial ...
Yeah, I got a new understanding of some people after I learnt the MBTI. However Dario Nardi said only jung matched his theory about the brain, so I am a little confused... :)
Good asmr. I got interested in Jung from doing ayahuasca which basically
dips you right into the world of archytpes and symbols on the way through
to other realms. Jungs Red Book seems to describe a similar kind of
journey.
I've smoked dmt sooo many times, I have to agree about the archetypes. I usually sense this maternal loving mom energy during my dmt trips... Its fucking crazy, more research and attention should be on DMT :)
i see u r into the softie science - my main message to u has been to abide by the biological deterministic pathways, the hardwiring, the imprint vulnerability and programming built in before all these socially constructed and enviro influences can have even the slightest effect
Is his low talking intended to be evidence of his introvertedness? I
thought he was going to say "ive recently had my.... larynx cut out".
Waste of time.
+sortedtales ASMR isn't supposed to be arousing, haha. I mean, some people might get off on it, but it really is a phenomenon. It just doesn't have that much scientific research or understanding.
So you're racist, homophobic, and under the delusion that your childish ranting somehow amounts to 'destroying' people. Good luck with that there, tiger.
+SylorinnisI find the low talking creepy and irritating as hell. As for this ASMR, when I hear it, far from arousing me, it makes me want to smack the person for being a phony manipulative fuck.
holy shit, Se blows my fucking mind! I am so detached from my environment,
it blows my mind that some people can feel a force coming from inanimate
objects. -- INFP
I'm an INTJ and although I use Se last, I can totally relate to what you're
saying. I remember that once I was at a carnival and had one chance at the
dunk tank, and when I threw a tennis ball at the circle connected to a
lever of sorts and the guy fell into the water, I just realized that I had
even thrown it. I'd completely detached.
Im an INTJ and me too im able to work with the Se. My theory is that some INTJ are able to develop their Se to balance their Ni. I don't know if im right but thats what I think.
