Sup.
You root for the smart villain rather than the dumb hero.
You have more books that you call friends than actual people.
Before every situation you think out every possible outcome and work your way towards the ideal one.
People think you’re angry or upset when really you are just thinking.
You can do the INTJ stare, that look of pure analysis coupled with a slightly sardonic smile that makes people feel uneasy.
Nothing is ever done efficiently enough.
Other peoples’ incompetence slows you down through your day and it happens far too often.
“What do you mean you don’t have a plan?”
You always forget if you locked your car because you always space out when you do it.
You also forget where you parked your car for the same reason - you were too focused on what you were going to do next.
You have a fairly organised room but you have little piles of crap in various corners and shelves. These are your ideas that you are still waiting to get around to. Some are in pieces, some are half made.
You walk out of romance movies in disgust, laugh through horror flicks and pick to pieces unrealistic ‘Hollywood’ movies.
You go onto a discussion board of ‘like-minded’ people and don’t agree with any of them.
You silently listen to people trying to figure out how to do something, then chime in with the correct way while they stare at you stunned because they didn’t think you where paying attention.
You look at every conflict situation as an interesting idea, and it pisses off the person you’re in a conflict with.
Someone tries to hurt you with words and you don’t feel a thing, in fact, you kind of find it funny.
You have 3-10 different conversations in your head with the person you’re actually talking to.
You have a favourite type of agenda book.
You never leave your house without some kind of list.
You constantly get asked WHY and HOW you think your life plan will work out, and have trouble explaining the number of contingency plans you have built in.
A ‘life plan’ is irrelevant because you know anything could happen that is out of your control and you have to stay flexible and work out various scenarios.
There is no one answer.
You have actually thought out ways in which you could escape a prison if you were ever locked up, and have serious plans for events such as tidal waves, zombie uprisings, nuclear war, etc…
You can better explain and understand things like time travel, alternate realities and fringe sciences than you can members of popular bands, reality TV shows or flirting.
You greet a person with “I’ve been thinking about..”
You constantly watch the way people do things and create more efficient ways of doing them.
You upset people by telling them “The way you’re doing [this and this] is interesting, but you should do it [in this more efficient manner].”
Assessing flaws in a security system is second nature to you.
You just finished explaining something profound and interesting and the person who are talking to goes “Huh?”
People say you always look like you are planning/plotting something; the association then often makes them conclude that you look evil.
You’re listening to someone and you quickly jump ahead to their point while multi-processing their motive for telling you, how they jumped to that topic, what level of response will be adequate (verbal, head nod, etc.), and planning whatever it is you’d rather be doing…all before they even finish their sentence.
Everyone expects you to give a lengthy speech on a subject in class debate you are indifferent to and give said speech in five or six sentences and still trump the opposition.
People tell you “You know, your music is really really odd.” Whereupon you turn to them and say “Huh, interesting drum pattern here on track 10.”
You get called out in class for excessive daydreaming but still get top marks somehow to the annoyance of most present.
You really, honestly don’t care what most other people think about you, and are perfectly fine doing things your own way.
You have a large mess but know exactly where everything is and people are amazed that you can find anything.
You also go through cycles of neat-messy-neat-messy-neat.You are never rigidly neat, you are never overwhelmingly messy. You are fine without shopping for new clothes for a year or two.
In a debate, your most commonly used phrase is “Could I get some proof for that?”
You can effectively argue both sides of a debate, and you just pick one for fun.
You are having a conversation with someone and you use adverbs such as “however’, ‘yet’ and ‘on the other hand” more often than you should, because that is the break between different view points about the subject being conversed. The recipient then stares at you blankly.”

This entire thing is so true. Story of my whole damn life. My god.
“Personal relationships, particularly romantic ones, can be the INTJ’s Achilles heel. While they are capable of caring deeply for others (usually a select few), and are willing to spend a great deal of time and effort on a relationship, the knowledge and self-confidence that make them so...successful in other areas can suddenly abandon or mislead them in interpersonal situations. This happens in part because many INTJs do not readily grasp the social rituals; for instance, they tend to have little patience and less understanding of such things as small talk and flirtation (which most types consider half the fun of a relationship). To complicate matters, INTJs are usually extremely private people, and can often be naturally impassive as well, which makes them easy to misread and misunderstand. Perhaps the most fundamental problem, however, is that INTJs really want people to make sense. This sometimes results in a peculiar naivete’, paralleling that of many Fs — only instead of expecting inexhaustible affection and empathy from a romantic relationship, the INTJ will expect inexhaustible reasonability and directness."
This is sort of like what I dream about everynight. The thing I want always floats away from me and I can never catch it.
