I think we INTJs who have learned to fit into the crowd should go out into the world and make instructional documentary videos, Steve Irwin style, on how to interact with other humans and fit in by using logical processes to analzye every day social interaction. We should to it fairly poorly for comedic value (and because thats the best we can do).

In the worse case scenario it would be funny as hell. In the best case scenario, the same.

Anyone with me? ;D too bad im not charismatic enough to pull it off :cry:

HAHA, I could so totally do this...but, uh..I need a camera and a ninja outfit.

A ninja outfit?! I think I'm going to have to join in on this project!

Is it bad that I can actually already picture some of the scenes that would be involved in this?

I think that is an excellent idea. :) If there was some way we could all collaborate on this despite our geographical separation it could be a very content rich series of documentaries.

#intj is a wonderful gathering place of informality :cheesy:. Surely, the project will turn it into a brainstorming cyclone of ingenuity. The good ideas from that can be posted on this thread.

I have been unable to make a follow-up video for my channel ever since the computer with all the good programs on it crashed. :irked: But I hope to get back into it soon.

First thought was a scene walking down the street narrator walking and talking like he is invisible and he's walking next to a staged INTJ.

Narrator, see this guy he's walking looking at the ground and thinking about whatever. Now to the normal person this is an opportunity to notice the nonsense in your surroundings.
T
hen maybe he can do something and all of a sudden the person can look up and say something like eTo view links or images in this forum your post count must be 2 or greater. You currently have 0 posts. do those shoes match that outfit. Well it's funny enough in my mind for a quick bleep in the film.

Another might be the checkout line. The INTJ ignoring his surroundings, staring incessantly at the clock. Then something and he goes Will Farrell getting loud and obnoxious about something on a magazine cover or something.

Plus if the scene could be in black and white when the person is an INTJ and in color when the person notices their surroundings, it might help.

I'm not sure if that is where you were going, but I did entertain myself with the thoughts if nothing else.

Ninja outfits make all projects fun. I could run around in my suit with a slight narrative and my thoughts then the reactions of others. I need to make some flash powder, too. :thumbsup:

The scenes would need to follow young ninja..life growing up, teen ninja in social situations (church, school, movies..etc), and mystical dating rituals. I'm going to make my brother do this. You guys just think I'm joking but just you wait. ;D

That would only work if the ninja was the one documenting the INTJ, with a small sub-story where the INTJ thinks ninjas are stalking him and no one believes him. Could be worked into the documentary for some extra comedic gold.

Would I and the other INFPs get a small spot in which the INTJ ninjas burst into a serene meadow and see us contemplating life with lilting half-smiles on our faces?

And then another, where we turn into a den of lionesses and bears, defending our ideals with the ferocity of a mama protecting her cubs?

;)

BTW, I think a British or Australian voice-over would be brilliant.

"Here's the INTJ, cautiously approaching his prey"

(camera zooms in on a INTJ guy circling an unsuspecting girl.)

"Notice the eye movement, as he attempts communication."

(close up of eyes, staring down the girl. A few nervous blinks. But determination shines through, mingled with confusion.)

"The prey, alerted to the presence of an intruder, lifts her head and searches the vicinity."

(Girl does as narrator says.)

"The INTJ, ever alert to the slightest cue from his prey, begins his courtship."

(INTJ ducks behind a tree. Pulls out "Tracking Women" manual from pocket. Calculates the correct velocity and angle of approach. Mentally debates whether or not she would be more likely to prefer Greek or Indian food. Establishes a ratio of probability. Peeks around tree. Admires her symmetry from afar. Nearly chokes when she smiles vaguely in his direction and tosses her hair.)

"But alas, the time is wrong. The certain happy future of this couple is delayed by complications, as a competing male enters the scene."

(ESTJ clad in shining armor storms into field on a white stallion, sweeps the girl off her feet, and dashes away. The INTJ pales.)

"The INTJ, ever the rational creature that he is, recovers quickly, and sets aside amorous advances for the far less challenging, yet more gratifying, task of planning world domination."

(INTJ stashes fieldguide to women in his backpack. Pulls out an Uzi.)

:devilish:

Voice over: Observe the INTJ in his natural habitat
*INTJ sitting in library, reading*
Voice over: INTJ's show amazing concentration, and are capable of this for hours on end.
Voice over: Oh no, someone is unwittingly wandering near the INTJ!
*Cut to person in nearby row of shelves. Play sinister music. Unsuspecting victim wanders slowly through rows, eventually passing the INTJ. End music*
Voice over: As you can see, the INTJ will ignore outside distractions such as other people, as long as... *cut off*
*Person asks INTJ what he's reading. Receives death glare. Person collapses*
Voice over: ...they do not attempt to bother the INTJ.
*INTJ walks off, muttering about inconsiderate people*
