Make sure to watch each one of them and find out how many you have!
Being an INTJ (Architect/Mastermind) Personality Type might be very beneficial
because these individuals see the big picture and cannot overlook the overall complexity. Many
INTJs succeed in science, mathematics, medicine, and a variety of other fields because of their
keen understanding of patterns and in-depth perception. Being an INTJ can make you feel
special and unique, however considering that INTJs make up only 2% of the population there
is a big chance you are not an INTJ Personality Type! You may have some characteristics of this
personality type, however if you have any of these signs listed in this video, chances are
you are not an INTJ (Architect/Mastermind) Personality Type. Let's examine the common
traits of people who are not INTJs. Here are 13 Signs You’re NOT An INTJ Personality Type.
Number 1 – You are not future oriented
People with an INTJ personality type have a vision of how they want their life to be in the future,
as well as a strategy for getting there. They often have strong feelings about their own future
that they think to be true. This varies among INTJs; some are more imaginative than others,
but most of them have clear vision of the future including their career path,
relationships goals or even fitness goals. Number 2 – You take conflict personally
What others say can harm your feelings. You can find yourself dwelling on a casual remark made
by a loved one or a bad evaluation comment made by your boss. If you take criticism and arguments
very personally you are probably not the INTJ Personality Type. If you have frequent disputes,
drama, and a general lack of happy sensations, your love connection or friendship will swiftly
deteriorate. INTJs are still hurt by criticism, but they see it through the lens of reasoning
rather than emotion, so they are less inclined to take it personally.
Number 3 - You are very soft in your approach You engage with others in a pleasant, relaxed
manner when you're at your best. Diplomacy is your strong suit, and you prioritize
tact and the preservation of others' feelings over the delivery of objective facts. If a
Feeling personality type is invited to hang out with friends but declines, he/she may fabricate
an explanation to save her friends' feelings rather than express her true feelings ("Sorry,
I would like to attend, but I have plans tonight.") INTJs communicate in a more clear,
straightforward, and even businesslike manner. If you are enjoying our content, please give

Number 4 - You cannot focus on one idea for too long
Introverted Intuition helps INTJs to focus on a notion or ideal and study it over decades from
hundreds of various perspectives. They can become trapped studying a notion to its very
essence in order to fully comprehend it, whereas other people usually recognize the topic,
produce ideas about its meaning and wider significance, and then move on.
Number 5 - You support people emotionally If you enjoy playing the counselor in your
group of friends, carefully listening to others and providing emotional support and advice you
are definitely not an INTJ. People are seeking you out because talking with you makes them
feel better? Well, you have a lot of empathy for others but this is not a trait for an Architect.
INTJs, on the other hand, prefer to deal with facts rather than feelings. Overt displays of
emotion make them uncomfortable because feelings are so intimate and private to them. When faced
with a personal dilemma, an INTJ's first instinct is to view it as a problem to be
addressed. The INTJ may provide practical solutions instead of emotional assistance.
Number 6 – You judge people form the first impression
INTJ don't consider themselves to know someone until they've had multiple interactions with
others that go beyond superficial discussion; but no communication is superficial to an INTJ.
Everything shows a lot about the people involved and their mental processes. INTJs have an uncanny
ability to deduce information about others simply by talking to them about many different things.
Number 7 – You are making decisions in regards to people’s feelings
Because you care profoundly about how your actions influence those around you,
you consider not only your own feelings but also the emotions of others. If it's
more essential to you that your choices feel correct than that they make sense,
you are not an INTJ. Of course, INTJs are concerned about others, particularly those
close to them, but they make decisions based on what works or makes sense. They place a higher
importance on maximizing time and resources than on adapting to individual preferences.
Number 8 – You are keen on starting new projects before finishing old ones
If your strong suit is versatility and adaptability and you are a free-thinking
individual who prefers to keep their options open you are probably not an
INTJ Personality Type. These kinds of people thrive in unexpected situations
and are flexible in every situation and INTJs on the other hand like schedules,
routines and plans in everyday life. They are not impulsive and do not frequently juggle
multiple projects at once. Architects prefer to complete a project before starting a new one.
Deadlines are very important for every INTJ and they always try to meet them
Number 9 – You struggle with prioritizing your own needs
If it's easy for you to go into people-pleasing mode because you care so much about others. and
you sacrifice your own needs to ensure the happiness of those around you are definitely
not an INTJ personality Type. If your significant other wants to go out to dinner but the Architect
prefers to stay at home and rest, he/she will not have a problem with saying about their needs.
INTJs are straightforward and direct shooters and they always put a big
priority on their own needs. People-pleasing and thinking what others will think about
certain actions is definitely not for INTJs.
Number 10 – You are great at remembering people’s names
INTJs care more about remembering people's thoughts than they do about their names,
birthdays or other trivial facts about their life. If you have a tendency to remember people's names,
birthdates, and other minor facts about them, chances are, you are not an INTJ,
because Architects although they have a good memory, they use it to remember significant facts,
numbers and concepts which they can use in their analytical journeys.
Number 11 – You don’t spend too much time in your head
If you do not spend too much time in your head, thinking about future decisions,
abstract theories and original ideas you are probably not
an INTJ Personality type. INTJs prefer the inner world to the outer world since
they are introverts. They have a vibrant imagination and a deep, complex inner world,
despite their reputation as a no-nonsense personality type. Also, if you are not keeping
yourself entertained with a humorous internal monologue that, if shared with others, would shock
and astonish them, chances are an Architect personality type is not what describes you.
Number 12 – You appear warm and approachable If you are more tuned into people and you
generally appear warm and friendly, you are probably not an INTJ personality Type.
Architects have rather a more professional demeanor. They are bored by social pleasantries
and personal chats and they'd rather focus on their work than talk nonsense. INTJs may
even unintentionally come out as unpleasant or overly blunt due to their goal-oriented mindset.
Number 13 – You are an idealist who focuses on people
If you are a true idealist who cares about individuals reaching their full potential and
improving the human condition, you are probably a Feeling personality type. It is very common for
these types of people to have a natural ability to connect with others and bring them together for a
common goal. For example, Martin Luther King, Jr. or Gandhi, are both INFJs who form communities and
are catalysts for large-scale social movements. INTJs on the other hand are change advocates,
but they like to enhance systems, theories, principles, and procedures, like Elon Musk or
Stephen Hawking. This is one of the biggest signs you are NOT an INTJ personality type!
