Full Show Notes

Sandra and Em are recording IN PERSON together for the first time ever!

Sandra explains the two main functions that INTJs use: 

“Insightful Intuition”

(Introverted Intuition)

Looking for hidden meanings and patterns and extrapolating them into the bigger picture and an insight for the future. 

“Efficient Thinking”

(Extraverted Thinking)

Using outer systems, benchmarks & standards of measurement to decide in an efficient way.

Ryker talks about what it’s like being an INTJ child, including:

  • He feels like he has a bigger imagination than most people he knows
  • He loves creating new games to play and even created a game at his school that lots of other kids play now all the way through the grades
  • He likes doing anything at school that involves his imagination, or things like science experiments 
  • He does not like doing anything at school that is too hard or that involves too many details
  • He sees his time as very precious and he does not want to waste his time on things he does not feel are useful or fun because that takes away from the time he could be spending on his favorite things
  • He loves his tablet and tries to find a way to change the rules so that he gets more time with it
