General Impressions of the INTJ

I realize that I'm generalizing here, but the 4-letter MBTI pattern is one big generalization, anyway.

My ESTJ girlfriend tend to give too much detail and take a while to get to the point where I find myself guilty of this too.

I find it interesting that you feel the need to disparage my relevant plugging for my thread. This is unnecessary and tells the reader that the writer is still hurting from the stab I once took at your closed-minded certitude (see posts 41-64).

Their "attacks" are over a month old. (fripping, at least...)

I can't imagine they'd care enough to offer a defense.

Cute.

Well, in short.

Positive: When you're arguing with one, they're not going to go: "You suck!", they're going to tell you why you do, and what it is that you do wrong, and they'll have arguments to back everything up.

Negative: Identical.

I positively ADORE INTJ's, you people are such great partners for discussions, you always give me such a wonderful 45 degree angle skewed view of things :D

Furthermore, you're not offended when your theories are put under scrutiny and you can accurately defend said theories without being an obnoxious prick about it, AND.. you can admit that you're WRONG! But hey this goes both ways too as I'm told, as I can reach brilliant deductive heights together with my INTJ friends who are as amazed by our synergy as I am

So yes INTJ's are great people to be with!

Yes... Sometimes, I find myself over-analytical, and my scientific analysis tends to not be something many people want to hear. When they deal with emotional matters, they do it the emotional way.
