Curious and determined, it's nothing new for the INTJ personality type to step into a new
interest or hobby here and there. However, it’s fair to say that they’re not exactly
open to diving into things that seem only partially interesting. It’s all or nothing
for this rational type.. and the things they’re interested in may not be what you were expecting.
Welcome or welcome back psych-os! Today’s were talking all about the INTJs favorite hobbies and
interests. But before we get into it, we’d love it if you liked and subscribed to our channel,
as well as to click the post notification bell so you never miss a video!
Alright, lets jump right into it starting with: Number 1: Gaming & Puzzle-Solving
With all the strategy and skill INTJs proudly exude, it’s no wonder why they’re drawn to
problem-solving entertainment. Whether it’s video games, escape rooms, board games or even magic
tricks, the INTJ has a driving force that must understand the strategy. Give an INTJ a riddle or
puzzle and they’ll stay entertained for hours on end, running through hundreds of possibilities in
their minds at record speeds. Another advantage is that their deeply imaginative nature allows them
to truly immerse themselves in the characters and story lines, allowing them to remain
hyper-perceptive to details others would overlook. However, this introverted type needs to stay
weary of their gaming because they have the risk of becoming seriously consumed in some cases..
Especially when it comes to video games that were created to keep problem-solvers hooked.
Number 2: Fixating on Specific Teachings
With learning and researching comes uncovering knowledge from teachers that aren’t advertised
in schools and media. And for the INTJ who tends to be more attracted to the so-called far-fetched
ideas in life, every INTJ ends up with a few mentors that share that similar thinking process.
Mentors that they’ve discovered through their curiosities of the universe that in
some way helped guide them to crucial knowledge. Steven Hawkings, Alan Watts, Carl Jung, you name
it..every INTJ has their favorites. In fact,
they can get totally consumed in a particular teaching or teacher,
only to find themselves gaining deeper insights from new teachers they discover along the way.
Number 3: Learning & Researching
Sure, if you asked any given INTJ what their favorite hobbies are,
they probably wouldn’t include that they spend hours researching topics
they find interesting. In fact, most INTJs hardly even recognize this as a hobby
because of how second-nature it is to them. This intelligent type is constantly googling,
looking-up, and diving deeper into matters they come across - sometimes spending hours on end
without even realizing the rabbit-hole they’re slowly creeping down. From one topic to the next,
INTJs are quite skeptical in their research until they feel they’ve been proven otherwise.
Number 4: Non-Fiction Movies On the topic of learning..
INTJs are documentary-lovers without a doubt. With a natural draw towards untraditional concepts and
unpopular opinions, INTJs love to get caught up in all sorts of interesting documentary genres.
Whether it be murder mysteries, extraterrestrial findings, or new-age health concepts,
most people with this introspective personality type find interest in topics that makes them think
outside of the social norm. And while they can truly dive into any topic under the sun,
for the most part, this intuitive type is drawn to similar topics as their introverted
intuitive counterparts, the INFJ. Anything metaphorical, conspiracy-related, taboo,
defining the laws of nature, human behavior and the meaning of life.
Number 5: Reading Similar to the INTJ’s love for documentaries and
imaginative topics, they’re also drawn to the old fashioned act of getting cosy with a book in hand.
Fiction and non-fiction both have their place in an INTJ’s heart,
but on the broader aspect of things, they tend to prefer self-help genres, and psychology.
Related to their calling to continuously be learning new things, the INTJ loves to expand
their knowledge and their understanding of who they are and why they’re here.
Number 6: Spirituality
INTJs may have been deemed as being cold-hearted and distant when it comes to the emotional
aspect of being human.. However, nothing could be further from the truth when an INTJ gets in touch
with their intuitive spiritual interests. While spirituality isn’t exactly considered a hobby,
most INTJs regularly delve into the ideas of different spiritual possibilities and practices.
Somewhat rooted in their stereotypical curious nature, and somewhat related to
their introverted intuitive insitics, most INTJs consider spirituality, mysticism,
and the supernatural as some of their top interests. The ironic thing is
that most people with this rational type don’t follow any one particular belief.
Number 7: Culinary Creating Culinary creation is something most INTJs can say
they enjoy on some level. Whether it’s cooking, baking, preserving, herb-growing, fruit carving,
kombucha-making, you name it..the determined INTJ is usually interested in trying these hobbies at
least once. And while food-making isn’t for everyone, the INTJ usually ends up surprising
themselves by how much they’re able to be immersed into the process. They love to put their cooking
capabilities to the test and learn from their own mistakes, but without someone else looking over
their shoulder. Luckily, not only is it fun for the INTJ, but their perfectionistic creativity
goes a long way in the kitchen, resulting in some pretty awesome out-of-the-box creations.
Number 8: Gardening
Speaking of culinary creations and herb growing, most INTJs claim to be avid plant owners and
seasonal garden growers. Independence and self-sustainability may be a driving factor as to
why the INTJ would consider gardening in the first place, but it’s not always what keeps them coming
back. In fact, a little greenery is appreciated by the INTJ who knows they spend a considerable
amount of time with technology. Planting, harvesting, and tending to greenery can be exactly
what they need to balance their deep concentration and bring them back to the simpler things in life.
Number 9: Crafting & Creating
Crafts, creations, whatever you want to call them.. The INTJ has innate creativity that allows
them to excel in a number of artistic outlets. However, it’s not always your typical painting,
sewing, scrapbooking type of crafting that the INTJ is particularly drawn to.
Their divergent thinking tends to attract them to the less mainstream ideas of art.
Similar to their love for culinary creations, INTJs can be interested in using their creativity
towards things that some people may not consider crafting at all. Think computer programing,
candle making, vintage fashion, stonework, and jewelry making.
There’s no limits when it comes to the INTJ’s creating potential
because they’re wired with the determination and knowledge to back up their elaborate curiosities.
Number 10: Solo Sports Most INTJs enjoy pushing themselves mentally and
physically, so it’s no surprise that they would enjoy physical exertion as an important part in
some INTJ’s lives. However, since this lone-wolf type rather competes with no one but themselves,
they’re more likely to choose a sport that allows them to challenge themselves
without the distraction of other people. Anything that connects strategy and physical challenge,
for example hobbies like running, swimming, hiking, taekwondo, weightlifting. The INTJ
is interested in any solo activity o that allows them to see their progress,
and mentally push themselves to their limit. Number 11: Electronics
Remote-controlled cars, flying drones, beat-making, VR.. the INTJ’s interest
in technology and electronics goes far beyond computer-gaming. In fact, most INTJs can actually
say that their love for electronics came before the invention of computers in the first place!
INTJs love to learn the mechanics of devices, from old-time watches, to HAM
radio.. If it grabs an INTJ’s attention, you can bet they’ll set out to understand every dynamic.
Number 12: Yoga & meditation
Although the typical INTJ wouldn’t exchange their complex brains if they had the chance,
it can get slightly exhausting, especially if negative thought patterns rise to the surface.
For this reason, most INTJs are drawn to some type of practice that allows them to properly
control their inflow of thoughts in order to use them to their advantage. Things like yoga,
meditation, energy work, and mental-disciplined practice allows them this freedom. The unfortunate
part is that although most INTJs know the benefits to these types of practices,
there are still some that rarely follow through with incorporating it into their lives.
Number 13: Some Good Old R & R Out of all the things the busy INTJ
does in fact enjoy doing, sometimes doing nothing at all is exactly what they need.
In fact, just to be able to relax with nothing but their own thoughts
can be considered a dream come true scenario for most introverted types.
Rather than feeling obligated to learn, improve themselves,
solve the world’s problems or find a new hobby, sometimes they much rather explore the inner
workings of their already knowledge-filled minds. Just a little time and space in order to relish in
their imagination and think up their next big move can do wonders for the determined INTJ.
