Because there are so few of them, INTJs are frequently misunderstood. They make up only
2.1 percent of the US population, but they have a radically different perspective on
the world than most other types. While the rest of the world searches for physical data
first, INTJs are more interested in symbols and underlying meanings. Because INTJs are
notorious for their insatiable desire to analyze everything around them, it's no wonder that
most people who encounter one think of them as reclusive and melancholy. But what about
an INTJ makes other personality types find it difficult to enjoy their company?

Starting us off at number 9 today is they are headstrong strategists.
The INTJs, which are called strategists, think they are one head and neck above the rest
in planning in probable circumstances which makes them appear quite stubborn. Complex
operations that require multiple stages are easily explored and analyzed by INTJs, and
they even prepare themselves for more complex and difficult situations in such a way that
there is always another solution. These ideas and concepts are so pure and unique to the
INTJ creative mind that sometimes it is not possible to translate these concepts into
a language that everyone can understand. But this is not the end of the road for INTJ.
Instead of talking directly to others about their ideas, they are eager to put them into
a workable system or plan that is easy to explain. As a result, INTJs often overlook
the value of direct interaction, making it often difficult for them to explain their
ideas to others. However, the value and credibility they place on knowledge and intelligence motivate
them to explain their ideas, at least to those who deserve to hear them.
Number 8 today on why some people might hate INTjs is They hate being wrong.
INTJs despise being wrong. However, they generally do know a lot about almost everything for
this intuitive and analytical know-it-all. As a result, when confronted with someone
who believes they are incorrect, they can become defensive since they really don't believe
it themselves. In fact, some sources indicate that INTJs
are preoccupied with being right, but only to prove themselves to themselves, rather
than to impress others.
While most INTJs welcome debates in the hopes of proving their point, they aren't opposed
to being proven wrong as long as they receive accurate information that they can utilize
to expand their knowledge. Regardless of why the INTJ is defending their logic, some people
can't stand a know-it-all when they see one, and INTJs are about as comparable to a know-it-all
as you can get.
Next up and number 7 on today’s list is They can seem irrational and controlling.
Extraverted thinking, as a secondary function in the INTJ personality, causes them to seek
order, control, and structure in the environment around them, making them disliked by others.
Because of the intricacy of their insights and their difficulty to describe the thoughts
in their heads, if an INTJ fails to explain their intuitive observations, people will
struggle to understand them, and they will frequently be disrespectful of others for
not understanding what seems to come easily to an INTJ.
Instead of identifying weakness in their failure to articulate the correct ideas, INTJs can
accuse others of not comprehending their views in such situations. Such a tendency in INTJs
may cause them to dismiss the opinions of others without question, making them appear
selfish.
Number 6 on today’s list of why some people might hate INTjs is They enjoy arguing thoughts
and opinions.
As much as INTJs despise being incorrect, they do like a good debate. In fact, the INTJ
regards arguments as a logically informative means to either teach or learn new information.
in contrast to their feeling counterpart, the INFJ, who might become extremely uncomfortable
and disturbed in times of disagreement and conflict. They enjoy presenting good evidence
to support their claims, and they expect the same from others. So, if you're fighting with
an INTJ and depending on your gut instincts and emotions to back you up, you can bet your
arguments will be dismissed.
While certain extroverted personality types enjoy a good debate and conversation, most
people would rather avoid it because not only can an argument with an INTJ be scary, but
they're almost always correct.

Next up and number 5 today is INTJs seem to have dismissive emotions.
Because this is not their primary function, INTJ personality types are emotional introverts
which may be quite irritating to others. However, because this is not their primary function,
this technique is less effective than the dominant and auxiliary approaches. People
may perceive INTJs as cold and hostile. Not expressing love, respect, or empathy for others
does not suggest that they do not care about others or that they don’t respect them;
it just means that they do not see the need to show it.
Others may incorrectly think of INTJs as stubborn people who are unwilling to modify their habits
and views, but this is far from the case because an INTJ is always looking for the best and
most impartial course of action. They are dedicated to putting their ideas into action
and is always open to hearing alternative methods of doing things. They do not hesitate
to convince other people's thoughts and ideas with their own if it proves to be productive.
Coming up in the number 4 spot today is INTJs can seem pessimistic.
The warm and fuzzy people you call when you want to hear what you want to hear aren't
INTJs. Instead, the INTJ will give you exactly what
you need to know, as well as the best logical answer to your problem. There's no sugar coating,
no false hope, and no emotional calming. They recognize that life can be difficult,
but emotions and false hope simply serve to distract them from accomplishing what they
truly need to achieve in a given situation.
Some people can appreciate this INTJ trait for what it is because fairness, honesty,
and rationality are becoming increasingly rare in today's world. In reality, most people
aren't ready for the truth, and having a negative mindset will only make things worse.
Starring our top 3 today one why some people might hate an INTj is they can seem judgmental.
The INTJ personality type spends a lot of time alone thinking and can seem uninterested
in other people's views and feelings. Presumably, people are irritated by an INTJs self-assurance.
If their emotional elements aren't fully developed, they'll struggle to communicate honestly with
others and won't be able to integrate the required feelings and intimacy into dealing
with people. They overlook paying attention to the nuances that are also vital for achieving
their goals if their sensory function is not developed.
They behave in a very methodical manner when dealing with the environment and its concepts;
they prefer to make their judgments and opinions about objects and phenomena in a logical and
understandable manner. As a result, the pace with which they make decisions varies. The
majority of them have developed intuition and insight and believe that they are correct
in many situations.
In the runner-up spot, and number 2 today is INTJs are highly perfectionistic.
INTJs are pessimistic idealists. They have a very high standard for most things in life,
but they are also aware of the world's and people's flaws. As a result, they prefer to
exert as much control over their surroundings as possible, knowing that the more they make
things happen rather than allowing things to happen to them, the better off they will
be. Unfortunately for this introverted and very
individualistic personality type, their primary goal is to improve themselves, which means
they are willing to sacrifice their time, relationships, and even resources in order
to do so.
They can't work with others because of their perfectionism, thus they don't rely on people
for anything. In fact, most INTJs regard most individuals as unfit to hold the same degree
of living standards as they do. They require everything to be organized, planned, and done
in a very exact way, which makes working with an INTJ incredibly challenging for some types
who require a bit more creative flexibility.
Before we get to number one, leave a comment and let me know if you recognize these traits
within yourself and have gotten some hate because of them.
Topping our list and the number 1 reason some people might hate an INTJ is They have little
tolerance for lack of logic.
Because INTJs can see the solutions to problems so clearly, they can't understand why the
rest of the world is so blind to them. In fact, not only does the INTJ struggle to relate
to those who lack a strong sense of reason, but they can also become irritated and unnecessarily
harsh with those who do not share their beliefs. If someone makes a decision based on how they
feel, as the INFJ does, an INTJ can't help but argue that feelings have no true basis
in evidence.
People may feel as if their feelings aren't recognized as a result of this intolerance
for illogical behavior, and emotional validation is one of the most important foundations of
connection. In other words, after being shut down for their feelings, it can be difficult
for people to feel inclined to befriend an INTJ.
INTJs live in a world of strategic ideas and plans, and attach great importance to concepts
such as intelligence, knowledge, and competence. They set high standards for themselves and
always strive to achieve high levels. In addition, they have similar expectations of others.
They are highly intelligent and insightful people who quickly grasp new ideas. However,
their main interest is not limited to understanding new ideas and concepts, but they try to process
and analyze the new concept they have learned in a logical and systematic way and put it
into practice in an efficient way. Because of this, some people who can’t handle or
understand this about an INTJ will most likely end up not liking them.
You’ve got this. Now go get it done.
