name is Ben and welcome to today's video
where we're going to be discussing the
intj archetype also known as the ranger
intjs are passionate talented types who
are capable of mastering any skill they
see their entire life as a performance
often fearing the spotlight is always on
them often seeing themselves as managers
of systems injs take the ideas of other
people and refine them until they are
perfect injs balance being the most
independent of all the types with having
gratitude for the people who have helped
them get to their position in life some
examples of famous injs you may know
include Arnold Schwarzenegger Beyonce
Madonna Magnus Carlson Scarlett
Johansson and Tiger Woods as is the case
with all personality types the inj lies
at the intersection between a specific
interaction style and a specific
temperament they are one of the four
finisher types meaning that their
communication style is direct responding
and progression they are direct all
sides of their mind besides their ego
are informative though additionally
their desire to not always be taken at
their word coupled with their quick
speaking voices makes inj is the most
half and half of all the types when it
comes to direct versus informative still
an inj prefers to choose their role in a
conversation they're responding injs
much prefer to be approached by others
with information as it eases their
inferior performance anxiety they can be
so afraid of initiating that they do not
even get out of the house they are
progression intjs are triple progression
in fact so they are one of the quickest
types they have an all-in full steam
ahead mentality where they stop at
nothing to arrive at their goals once
they get going they do not mind being in
a rush often preferring to wait until
the last minute to complete a task the
inj is part of the intellectual
temperament also known as the NT
temperament meaning that they are
abstract pragmatic and systematic AB
ract meaning that injs are at high risk
of having too much hope such that they
fail to actually realize their dreams
they're so passionate and driven but
they need to balance that with concrete
evidence of their abilities or else they
become fake they're pragmatic injs are
the most independent of all the types
they impose their own belief systems on
to other people often disregarding That
Others May care about doing the right
thing they often find themselves
unaccepted by Society at large resulting
in them forming their own Inner Circle
instead of belonging to a larger group
they're systematic intjs are looking for
Best Practices to apply to all facets of
Life they like to streamline processes
because it prevents them from stagnating
their Relentless pursuit of efficiency
may come off to others as uncaring when
it is applied to human interaction but
that is showing care from an inj
perspective the cognitive functions of
the inj are introverted intuition hero
extroverted thinking parent introverted
feeling child extroverted sensing
inferior extroverted intuition Nemesis
introverted thinking critics
extroverted feeling trickster and
introverted sensing demon an i hero an
Hero has the ability to will its way
through any situation injs consider
their future before their past often
getting tunnel vision they have the
hardest time letting go once they have
decided they want something they're
stubborn about releasing it from their
grasp this applies to relationships as
well where injs are at risk of being
possessive of their partners and they
struggle to move on after a breakup
intjs are chiefly aware of their own
options they exercise their freedom
because they impulsively know what they
want almost all of the time injs develop
an Hero by taking risks for the sake of
constant Improvement having too much
hope for their own future can cause them
to procrastinate te parent te parent is
responsible with rationale because it is
skeptical of The credibility of data
sources without te parent to keep them
in check injs would be gullible to
following institutions that use
statistics to push an agenda injs can
pursue data very quickly which enables
them to pick up new skills in a brief
amount of time they find themselves
becoming experts before having the
credentials which would make them look
trustworthy so they chase titles to make
sure people listen to them their
reputation is very important to them
injs are considered to be some of the
shallowest people for the facade that
they put up people will think more
highly of them if they are willing to
risk being raw and real fi child fi
child is very innocent about its moral
compass it is the purest form of good
injs are capable of being good people
without needing the emotional reactions
of others to inspire them an inj who
takes their fi child too far has a
superiority complex where they believe
they are entitled to things without
having to show gratitude in return in
this case they see themselves as the
ultimate judge of good and bad where
nobody else gets to say quality of life
is very important to injs they bring
this to Fe users in their lives who do
not have the sense of self-worth to get
it for themselves they spend their
sympathy on others and seek to bring
them along on their journey of
improvement SC inferior injs are afraid
of of Abandonment they may push others
away to test if they will remain loyal
but it is more likely that they will not
push people at all out of fear that they
will lose Faith injs try to trade
performance for loyalty they seek to
give other people the best experiences
so they will want to stick around
sometimes they fail to State this as an
expectation thus forming a covert
contract intjs are the most talented
people on the planet nobody can out
compete in inj when they humble
themselves and aspire to perform for
their own satisfaction they have the
capacity to Master any skill and do it
the quickest the downside is they forget
those skills if they do not continue to
practice them NE Nemesis injs worry
about other people's intentions they are
the most paranoid of all the types as
they often consider that other people
might be looking to backstab they would
usually be better off giving people
their trust in the first place intjs are
the epitome of Murphy's Law they project
their own willpower on to other people
and cause their own fears to enter
Reality by observing undesirable
possibilities an enem is what challenges
the intj to never give up they need to
be certain they have a future even if
other people get in the way TI critic TI
critic causes injs to doubt what they
know they often work tirelessly to prove
or disprove things they're the biggest
overthinkers of all the types and this
is one of the reasons they struggle to
fall asleep at night this problem can be
alleviated bya conversation with ti
users injs want to solve problems more
than any other fit user they have the
potential to possess Mastery over
thinking and this prowess of gets
directed toward Innovative or
intellectual Pursuits the knowledge of
an intj decays over time without
consistent challenge though they are at
a high risk of assuming things to be
true without verifying Fe trickster the
one thing intjs really struggle is to
master social skills Effy trickster
coupled with triple pragmatism makes
injs socially inept from their
perspective anything could be ethical in
order to save them from making social
faux paw they need to be briefed on any
event before it happen happens since
this is not realistic the best solution
for them is to create a system of how
people react whenever they do inevitably
break social rules otherwise they will
forget and repeat the same mistakes injs
often use humor to make people feel good
this is generally an effective shortcut
but they might want to consider that
this is not always appropriate SI demon
SI demon is a rejection of an intj's
needs injs do not care about what they
should do and often pay a price for it
their lack of consistency in life causes
a poor sleep schedule and makes it
almost impossible for them to maintain
as much long-term memory as the other
types intjs do not have faith in much of
anything they might betray loyal people
in reaction to one event where their
trust was broken their any Nemesis and
TI critic might even assume this is
happening in an act of paranoia when it
is in fact not happening if you obligate
an inj they will hate you it is much
more effective to use a xanitos Gambit
to convince them to do things they
should do do not make them remember past
trauma either unless you are okay with
becoming part of it with respect to the
four sides of the Mind the intj has esfp
subconscious entp unconscious also known
as The Shadow and isfj super ego a
closer look at the intj ego reveals the
intj's path to responsibility and
maturity the biggest source of our
maturity comes from our parent function
injs can read non-fiction to become
immersed in different subjects they can
bring their Collective knowledge to
other people for verification without te
parent an inj will only concern
themselves with what they want and how
they feel a healthy consideration of
what other people think keeps an inj
respectable and pushing toward
meaningful goals esfp subconscious
reveals the intj's path to happiness
when we break through the fear of our
inferior it becomes aspirational and we
become strong and capable where we were
previously weak and Afraid for intjs
this means accepting their flaws a
developed dsfp subconscious is confident
that it can practice skills for its own
Joy instead of seeking to force people
to stick around I JS become the best
performers when they seek to be better
instead of seeking to be perfect people
are often loyal to intjs without them
even knowing it aspirational makes
people feel so safe that they would
sacrifice everything to protect intjs
entp unconscious reveals the intj's path
to wisdom intjs embrace the depth of
metaphysics when they use their entp
Shadow they become less Shallow by
pursuing truth and meaning when being
the center of attention is Not Practical
if they develop TI critic they will
verify everything they know this will
make people gravitate towards them for
their problem solving abilities isfj
super ego reveals the intj's path to
love the isfj super ego led by Si demon
is not comfortable in its own skin over
time injs begin to understand how much
suffering they can endure they cease to
avoid struggle and use hard work to
support those who have helped them on
their Journey isfj super ego in its
Angelic form is about using sacrifice to
make the most meaningful contributions
