Note: What's It Like To Be INTJ?

💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 Some of my traits and things I've dealt with which explain my INTJ personality (if you can relate to most or all of these, you may be an INTJ too):
1] Inability to get bored researching and exploring different websites and articles online.
2] Extreme curiosity in issues that are important or relevant to what I'm going through. When I am interested in a subject or wish to be more acquainted with a person, I have a tendency to ask a lot of questions.
3] Usually the odd one out in a group just smiling or not laughing when the others are joking or teasing each other boisterously. Goofing around and acting childish don't come naturally to me.
4] Intensely disliking gossip and avoiding people who seem to enjoy backbiting about others.
5] Being asked to apologize to several individuals or somehow making up to them for unknowingly or unintentionally offending them in the past. INTJs typically communicate in a straightforward manner and efficiently state facts without having to spare emotions.
6] Not being disappointed when a person broke a promise, ignored a salaam, left a text message unanswered, or didn't invite me to a meeting or gathering where other mutual friends were invited, since I don't get emotionally attached to people and can't trust anybody easily. Alhamdulillah as an INTJ, it's not difficult for me to move on from those who are incompatible and who can't reciprocate my loyalty.
7] Appearing like an "arrogant snob" to those who instantly make judgements based on what they see while they don't even know me fully. To strangers and outsiders I may seem distant, aloof and too strict. However with loved ones and the few whom I consider as friends, I try to be helpful, protective and compassionately patient with them.
8] Not being an overly emotional or sensitive type has helped me find polygyny manageable Alhamdulillah as my husband's first wife. INTJs generally finalize decisions using logic and envisioned future possibilities instead of relying on current feelings.
9] Disliking socializing with too many people for prolonged periods. After chatting with a few individuals or answering questions, I often withdraw to re-energize. This is why I'm terrible at responding to inbox messages on time no matter how much I want to answer each one of them.
The more you are familiar with your MBTI personality, likes and dislikes, the more you can better understand why you can't vibe and click with every person you meet in life. It's okay to not be friends with everybody you encounter, on condition you strive for Allah's sake to be fair and honest with everyone, maintaining good morals and character regardless of how others think of you.
📖 Anas ibn Malik RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Whoever abandons lies in support of falsehood, a house will be built for him in the surroundings of Paradise. Whoever abandons arguments even though he is right, a house will be built for him in its middle. Whoever makes his character excellent, a house will be built for him in its highest part."
