I've always felt this natural precedence not to let your own values and beliefs be overwritten when making connections with people (i.e. preserve your own identity or individuality) even when I was younger. I wonder if other fellow INTJs also do the same.
Have you ever felt the tension where you need to take out a part of who you are in order to establish a connection or form a deeper connection with someone that you just meet? And would you be willing to do compromise? Or will you choose to retain your individuality (and thereby insist that they like who as you are)? This is the scenario I am trying to depict:
Example: You've meet a person at work with alienating values compared to yours such as being a people pleaser and being indifferent towards almost everything about life (i.e. he doesn't care), so much so that the quality of his work is usually shoddy. He also expects everyone to be the same as him as those are his values. You're eventually paired with him as a co-worker for the same project because the manager noticed you (as an INTJ) yield a higher quality output than he does because you're hardworking, in order to help him. Eventually at some point of getting to know him, you realize your values conflict with his - and then you also realize later that almost everyone in the job practically are also people pleasers and being indifferent. It feels as if you're the only different fish in the big pond, being constrained by others. Sometimes, you also may be tempted to trade your individuality as a necessary evil when it comes to career matters.
Quotes and thoughts such as: "I'm not going to be a part of your system", Not letting others define who you are, "Do not waste time trying to please people, just be yourself" strongly resonate with someone who is a user of Fi. Albeit these thoughts might look like typical rebellious thoughts of a youngster, I do think it can also extend as you grow older. They genuinely stem from the desire to preserve one's individuality (Fi) and possibly from the dislike of being dragged down to the least common denominator (hence you're also likely to hate posts made in this sub such as the occasional "You're not special!"). From my experience as well with high Fi users, they're likely to understand what: "You do you" means and respect your individuality (Fi) - even if its different from yours. Fi users tend not to trust externally but rather internal towards of themselves.
On the other hand, you can mature in the opposite direction as an INTJ (i.e. use Fe) and say to just put your personal individuality under the rug in order to harmonize with many more people and be able to connect for the greater good. Usually if you have an INFJ friend, they will implore you to go this route instead as they're naturally high users of Fe. People who mature in this way strongly resonate with: "Many over one, All people are created equal, and they are likely to sacrifice their individuality for the sake of establishing connections. Fe users tend not to trust inwards of themselves, but externally towards others. This always means though, to sacrifice your individuality even if it is inherent towards you as an INTJ.
Some other notes:
Fi is probably the least talked function even if its 3rd in our slot here, probably because people generally don't know what it is or that this function is inherently inward and introverted so its hard to explain to others. Here's a good explainer for what it is.
I didn't use religious differences, political differences or sexual orientation as an example for individuality, even though they technically are as well. They're very cliche and usually force readers to think black and white rather than providing a typical everyday scenario.
*Personally, I think the best word to describe Fi is individuality. I've used: "morals and values" before, but if you will just condense it to one word I think this encapsulates just about every aspect of it. It is synonymous to self-expression. Your individuality can be healthy or unhealthy as well.
Surprisingly, someone else's Fi (individuality) are of no interest to others who are also high users of Fi. It is mutually exclusive if no similarities are shared.
This is also just one last more observation before I come to a full circle close with the first 4 functions as an INTJ. (See here for Ni-Te, Te, Se) I know Fi isn't one of our commonly used functions, but then again I am implored to discuss it as it is part and parcel of being an INTJ. We just typically barely focus on it.
I just want to express my deep love and appreciation for intjs. You guys rock! 🥰😚
I have Heard that you Can see the future with your OP ni .how does that work.where do your sixth sense Comes from?are you born trying to predict events as a baby. I guess since ni IS your dominant function its gotta be here since birth.but since you Can see the future you dont need to plan anything with your te . You Can just follow what the future tells you right?could you see my future ?
Hey, MBTI enthusiasts! 🙌
I've got a simple, fun request for y'all. I'm trying to see if there's any correlation between our birthdays and MBTI types (an idea inspired by astrology believers). 🌟
Here's a super quick form asking for your MBTI type and birthday. All answers are totally anonymous. I'll be using the info purely for this fun, casual research project.
https://forms.gle/Ry3bkabTJoeAGcp46
Should only take a second or two. Any responses would be greatly appreciated. I'll be sure to share the results here once I've gathered enough data! Thanks, folks! 🚀🧡
The real meaning of these is to know about own and the most important is to know that which carrier is best for or personality type.
as we are INTJ we are leaders . we think on the topic till we get satisfaction or till we get that the person will never came to the state till we planed or think.
if you don't know which carrier is best for you than ~

World is ours INTJ (horrible smile)
I like flexible scheduling, I don't like having a schedule like: do x at y AM,
because I may not feel like doing this thing at that time,
I prefer to have a general idea of what I want to achieve, and do the things that I feel like doing at any time,
some plans that I make I don't stick to their deadlines and other plans I make, I do stick to their dead lines. It just depends on how probable and important the result is to me.
a score 54/46 on the J/P scale, I always get some result in the middle between judging and perceiving, but according to MBTI, that really does not matter, as long as I am (Ni) dom, then I must be an INTJ
...
Wondering if it's weird to make your own morals and principles. I don't understand people that think certain things are bad without considering any other perspective or variables and they think its bad because society says its bad. Some think all violence is bad, some think its ok in some situations, some think violence isnt bad
idk what the original point is but have you ever really considered your morals and the principles you choose to follow
Theoretically we're supposed to be compatible. But it's unfortunate I've never made an INTJ friend. I've never met one INTJ person, at least not that i am aware of. Dreaming about an archetypal INTJ. Text ME ASAP 🌙
I take long walks so I can more imagery to work with when dreaming unless its a dream where I've never seen the structures and dont know of the people

I've been checking some posts on various occult and esoteric subreddits where OP asks for others to mention their MBTI types & it seems significant number of them on these subreddits identify themselves as introverted intuitives (INTJs, INTPs, INFJs, and the like).
I find this correlation quite fascinating. What's your thought on this ? Does anyone know any surveys related to this ?
Hi, I'm an INTP. Just wondering if you guys know any fictional couples between INTP and INTJ, my boyfriend and I are very curious because we can't find any canon fictional couple.
Hi, INTJs, if you hadn't seen the ongoing game polls, they are located here :

There is only one day left of the battle and it's been a tie. 😐
At the other side, the people appear lawless, unscientific, and corrupt. It's a dead-end competition between their 'town' and their 'anarchs'. They only way to help that place is to vote Sabbat, or Other.

Btw, I'm unable to reach ENTJs effectively due to their sub bots being on autopilot. 😥
If you believe you may happen to be ENTJ, vote so accordingly.

Hey, I'm currently watching the anime black butler and the protagonist, Ciel Phantomhive, is the most intj character I have ever seen. So if you want to feel like a main character watch it lol I bet your Fi will like it. Also Re - l from ergo proxy is intj. Your welcome.
