Does your mind tend to always think ahead of the game,e.g.,like what should I be doing in this occasion, or am I sitting appropriately for this person, or whatsoever?

I find myself always telling myself what to do and how to do it; furthermore, I actually enjoy it. But, I need to stop as well because I am constantly analyzing the situation and thinking of what to say before the actual moment. I constantly tell myself "do this", "do that" because of so and so.

Now, I am not saying I change myself for people. I just fit the appropriate manner; more like I adapt to a situation. I am just seeing if our minds work the same. My mind tells me to do something before I do it all the time. It's like telling myself what to do, and it does not feel natural.

For other personality types what I described may be natural; which is not thinking and just acting.

Familiar experiences?

Sounds like your intuition coming into play and taking charge which is the most natural thing for an INTJ. I do it all the time, in fact I am doing it now, I am telling myself what to type as I type it.
Impressive, non?

I am the game.

[theiceman]

I do this all of the time. I always look 2 steps into the future instead of watching what surrounds me in the current moment because I try to predict the future events.

[Sethis]

I may do that but only on things that really affect or interest me. Most times I just prefer to let go.

GAME OVER!

Now that you made me think about it I come up with what I'm gonna say before I say it fairly often, at least a general outline of it. Half of the time I tend to knot myself up with too many thoughts for a single strip of words to pass on what I'm thinking when I'm talking in real time.

I don't do this for movement at all anymore, I'm pretty sure I used to all the time though.

24/7 , now i'm considering that i do this too much , the best thing i usually can do during an unexpected or sudden argument or situation is to withdraw as quick as i can so i could come up with a good action to take , i find myself screwing up if i do not excuse myself from the situation and stay too long....

I do this a lot, mostly when around other people. When I was around 1st or 2nd grade, sometimes I'd find myself internally narrating what was going on.

My brain tells me what to do >_> It's like checking a checklist in my brain >_> Only I am aware of said check list and check the to do list. It rearranges itself for multiple choice answers to situational differences, sort of like a big SAT test done mechanically. So I guess, 'yes'. My brain is ALWAYS debating with itself like it's processing data but then the logic overrides the massive amount of data like if there's too much nice food at a restaurant and I can't decide what to eat, my conscious brain kicks in and is like "Shuddup and just order a burger you know you're going to settle on that anyway." I'm not schizophrenic though <_<

Big brother is you, watching. Sounds like an awful way to live.

[Zethariel]

Yeah, I do that -- an attempt to structure and simplify everything. Or just pre-empirive strikes against more or less probable scenarios. I know what I'll say when boss catches me goffing off at work, as well as where to run in case a maniac with a semi-automatic barges in.

Ah yes, analyzing is my greatest strength and weakness. Things that require strong analytic abilities will be conquered. When it comes to the simple things, I turn into Chris Farley on Tommy Boy and rip that poor dinner roll apart and ruin the whole situation.

[ManicMaster]

thats the judgment part of the intj alongside intuitive and introversion. its what we do. changing your habits may result in neurosis.

[stealthfighter]

I can't help but do so. I would spend so much time just to come up with a decision on whether I should do something or not, and another long time to figure out how I should do it.

[Dman1843]

I am always thinking about what is coming next and it coalesces itself into some entertaining mannerisms.

When I am driving home from somewhere I will on almost all occasions take my seat-belt of 3 or 4 blocks away from my house in anticipation for getting out of the car. It is as if my brain is already in the driveway getting out of the car yet physically I am still driving home blocks away from actually getting out. It has been getting worse lately too. Just last night I had done it almost 8 blocks away from getting home...I think I'm losing it!

[anisoptera]

I thought its a normal thing gor everyone..i mean brain telling us what to do..thats how we think right?

It's even more fun if you start analyzing everyone else's moves. It makes people really uncomfortable when you can intuit things about them that they don't think are obvious.

Careful there Mr. Holmes!

In social situations I used to over analyze. If they say this, I'll say that. If they come too close I'll move to the left. Then I had an epiphany, while playing chess of all things, that I honestly didn't care whether I won the game or not. Now I can turn the analyzing off and I only do it if it's fun.
