You know you're an INTJ when you think you're just a walking computer. Where your consciousness is just recent thoughts that have been floating around your head, and your mind just processes them day after day, in the background, looking for implications and interconnections.

[Dancingqueen]

You give the right answer even though no one actually wanted the right answer. They were just making conversation.

[Bardas]

You think this thread is a bit of a circle-jerk.

[Person056]

when you lie about something to avoid explaining it.

when you try to plan how you would explain your "lying for simplicity's sake" if you ever had to explain that.

when you're intimidated by the fact that an ISFJ asks you to teach them one of your specialty topics and immediately consider ways to develop a curriculum and speech pattern to appeal to the obvious difficulties that arise when talking to an ISFJ.

[Social Torture]

... when someone asks you for an honest opinion and you're first response is...
Oh, but do you "really" want my input?
"Yes"
Are you sure?
"Yeah"
Ok then, don't say I didn't give you the opportunity to walk away. [brutal honesty by the truck load]

*when your strategy to leave the East Coast is only getting more honed and perfect with each passing minute.

When you pick up a toddler's toy and say "That is called gravity" as you give it back to him sitting on his high chair

I just did this a little bit ago. I was getting royally pissed at my game; there's a stage that's really fucking hard on the eyes, and generally just plain hard, you gotta save after each battle; and xbox, being the shit that it is, often kicks you back to the auto save point, which could be just three rooms back, or five battles back; the combination was pure aggravation. I died again, and out of frustration I bashed my head back on the headboard (xbox is in the master bedroom); the wife came in a couple minutes later to ask if I made that knocking sound (she can't hear me speaking at her in the same room, but she can hear me banging my head from the other end of the trailer); rather than explaining myself, I muttered, "it's your imagination."

When you think about how mysterious prime numbers are.

When you are upset with yourself because you can't recite the greek alphabet that you once knew cold from your quantum chem class 8 years ago.

When you avoid eye contact with people in your small town because you may have to engage in small talk.

[Heavy Fuel]

When a gorgeous woman smiles at you, and you feel that nervous sweat break out all over your body.

I asked someone what their Ka-Bar was made of... They said metal.

When what you call professionalism, therapists call OCD.

When you're watching some one else build something, and your aesthetics OCD starting jangling.

[WinterSolstice]

When having a conversation on a topic, and you feel inadequate on knowledge of a subject matter that you at least mildly care about, you go home and research as much as possible just that night, and when tomorrow comes you are ready to talk, but no one talks about said subject and you feel like you wasted your time.

When you shudder with the realization that your professionalism and work ethic, these days, are categorized as a psychiatric disorder, and cringe at the concept that the psychiatric normality of others around you encourages laziness.

When you teach your primary school child how to count in binary and hex

[soylentmango]

...when you are consciously aware that you are doing something only because it is socially acceptable.

...when you explain that you can understand something without caring about it.

...when you make suggestions at work that actually decrease your job security for the sake of efficiency.

...when your ex-employer has to hire 2 or 3 people to replace you.

[Shadizar]

When you slow down your productivity in your manual labor job for two reasons; one, the job gets done better, by your own standards; two, it frees your mind to start imagining random what-have-you's, which makes work fun again.

...when you realize that your hobby might actually be researching new hobbies.

...when you realize your intellect cannot solve the problem that you have more interests than time.

...when you start considering acquiring a minion to help you with the above.

...when you start weighing the costs and benefits of acquiring an Igor versus a henchman.

[Heavy Fuel]

... When you lose sleep researching, studying, and mastering a new hobby. Two weeks later, boredom sets in and you start looking for something new that interests you.

[Shadizar]

When you actually find yourself literally bored to tears, then start analyzing and processing the experience.

And so you won't finish early and then have to figure out how to "look busy" for the rest of the day.

When you cut work early, because you're at the ideal spot to do so; to keep going would tie you to the job for a further 2-3 hours past quitting time before you could "in good conscience" pack it up for the day.
