Being one of the rarest personality types out there, it’s not everyday that you come up against
an INTJ and their strange ways.. But when you do, it can be difficult not to notice them. They see
things that others don’t see and can make some of the most logical and intelligent decisions,
but what habits does the INTJ cling on to, and are they really that odd?

Number 1: They are easily annoyed
Sure, this one may seem obvious and maybe not even particularly strange,
but the INTJ’s annoyance for the people around them goes beyond their introverted nature.
In fact, since INTJs are such logical thinkers, it can be difficult for them to understand how and
why people think the way they do. This definitely makes it difficult for them to connect with
certain people, but once they find someone they can share their deep wealth of knowledge with, it
can be hard to keep them quiet! On the other hand, if you keep this personality type in a dead-end
conversion long enough, you can almost guarantee that they’ll resort to this next odd habit..
Number 2: They may randomly flee Yup.. the classic INTJ disappearing act.
Depending on the conversation or situation, every now and then, the independent and determined INTJ
may resort to leaving without much warning. Now it’s not like they’re exit is anywhere close to
being dramatic.. In fact, in large enough groups, people wouldn’t even notice the missing INTJ from
the conversation. And while it’s different for every situation, they’re stealthy departure
can be caused by a variety of things, from annoyance, to burnout - sometimes all this
introverted type needs is a little R & R - even if that means leaving mid conversation or event.
Number 3: They can be particular about random things
INTJs have no tolerance for close-mindedness.. Yet ironically they
also can be quite unwilling to compromise certain preferences.
While this introverted personality type seems reserved and collected from the outside,
the INTJ isn’t always willing to go with the flow, and due to these strongly defined preferences
they can seem incredibly stubborn at the most random times. Whether it’s simple things like
clothing, food, and entertainment or more complex things like how they prefer to live their lives.
The INTJ’s intuitive and curious nature combined with their clear picture of what they want in life
allows them to view things in a different way.. A way that can be difficult to describe to others.
Number 4: They sometimes forget to show emotion on their face
INTJs don’t need to be showing a smile in order to be having fun and they don’t need to give
dirty looks to be completely unimpressed.. A lot of what the INTJ experiences is felt internally,
especially when it comes to the emotional aspect of things. They don’t always resort
to physical reactions, changes in body language or exaggerated facial expressions as so much of
that emotion is being worked out internally. In fact, this expressionless tendency is exactly what
gives the INTJ their stereotype of being cold and robotic at times. Although they may seem
stone cold or straight-faced, they definitely have more emotion that they like to show,
which brings us to the next point.. Number 5: They can be very emotional
Known for their lack of emotion, affeciate and even empathy at times, the INTJ doesn’t exactly
rely on their emotions to make decisions in life. However, just because the INTJ is known for being
more logical, and not showing emotions physically, it doesn’t mean they are as robotic and
emotionless as they may seem. In fact, INTJs have feelings just like any other person does.. but
instead of sharing them with the world, they tend to keep their feelings private. While this may not
be considered an odd habit, emotional outbursts that are caused by keeping their emotions inside
can certainly seem out of character. They prefer to keep conversations based around the wealth of
logical knowledge, but when it’s time to share emotions, they can really surprise.
Number 6: They can feel uncomfortable when complimented
While genuine compliments are intended to make people feel good, most INTJs don’t particularly
like being told when they’ve done well in something. Not to sound too self-centered, but
INTJs know when they’re good at something, and they know that they’re incredibly intelligent.
It’s as if they’re so sure of themselves that they don’t need their decisions approved
through a compliment from an acquaintance. Not to mention, they are extremely wary of
brown-nosers and kiss-ups, so when someone tries to continually compliment this personality type,
you can be sure you’ll be put in their book of suspicious characters.
On the other hand, a sure way to properly compliment this rational type would be to
listen to and follow their advice.. without waving it in their face that you’ve done so, of course.
Number 7: They can argue about the simplest of things
Curious, critical and combative, the INTJ is no doubt one of the only personality types
that can question something until the very last proving detail. While some people may
think of this as a way to stir the pot or get others aggravated, it’s simply this type’s way
of testing out new ideas and theories. They know people all think a little differently,
and they’re genuinely interested in other people’s perspectives - well.. Not everyones. In fact, if
the INTJ is picking at your beliefs or viewpoints, you can actually take it as a compliment that
they want to dive deeper in a conversation with you… INTJs don’t want to hear just anyone talk.
The seemingly strangest factor to these habits is that the INTJ may even argue points that
they don’t particularly believe in, just to see what others really think with no bias attached.
Number 8: They get stuck on the tiny details
INTJs are known for their uncanny ability at finding new, simpler ways of doing things
around them. From efficiently organizing grocery shopping lists to running an entire business,
the INTJ is undoubtedly a true optimizer in every aspect of life. However, because
they’re always analyzing and questioning how things could be done differently,
they tend to get stuck on the smaller details of things. The details that nobody else really
looks into, or quite frankly cares about in the grand scheme of things. In fact,
introverted intuition can be partially blamed for the INTJ getting stuck on things like numbers,
buttons, rows & columns, charts, and repeating patterns. This habit of getting stuck on details
may not even be overly apparent to the INTJ themselves, as it’s just their natural way of
observing, but it can seem quite strange for people who witness it around them.
Number 9: Sheer blunt honesty
In a world of sparring other people’s feelings in fear of offending,
the INTJ’s genuine honesty can surely shake things up in conversations.
Introvertdear.com said it perfectly “While conversations for extroverts seems like a great
game of frisbee - effortlessly going back and forth.. And even if you miss, you can laugh
it off. For the INTJ, it’s more like tossing the frisbee and hitting someone in the face..
With no way of going back. In other words, INTJs can seriously shock others with their tendency to
shine a spotlight on the elephants in the room. Whether it’s dishing genuine and logical advice
that should have been dished long ago or it’s slightly embarrassing someone in an attempt
to tell them something they really need to hear.. People just aren’t always prepared for such truth.
Number 10: Sensory issues
While sensory issues aren’t all that common amongst personality type traits,
some INTJs are quite familiar with them. Whether it’s an intense disliking of being
touched by other people or even certain clothing textures feeling unusually uncomfortable. Sensory
sensitivities can be difficult to understand if you’ve never experienced them yourself, but when
an INTJ communicates their stubborn disliking for something - you should definitely believe them! In
fact, due to their extraverted sensing, some INTJs have reported feeling like aliens or strangers in
the world, even feeling estranged from their own bodies at times. And as a result, this can make
them leery of trying new sensory activities like trying new foods and certain physical activities.
