...when your wife, friends or family express shock or disbelief that you can be unaware of the names, categories or identities of popular shores or restaurants along the route you travel daily to work and back.

...when you cannot recall the name of an advertiser in a TV commercial you viewed 30 seconds ago.

...when you cannot remember the names of your neighbors or of new acquaintances without using mnemonics.

[Dung]

^ right on spot.

[Shadizar]

When you're doing menial labor, and mentally writing two or three books at the same time.

[Vulture]

when you, as a rule, are more entertained by floating ambient dust particle movements, than co workers attempting communication.

when you have lost sleep over "how much wood could a wood chuck, chuck."

when sitting in traffic, to ease stress, you imagine all the cars being attacked by t-rexs, then begin planning your life around obtaining the ability to breed t-rexs.

when you self identify a little bit too strongly with comic book supervillans.

[TheFifthSun]

...during a phone conversation with a family member the only words out of your mouth are "yeah, ok, what?, I don't know", because you're simultaneously reading some interesting abstract on pubmed.

[Vocal]

+1^

And when you become defensive about your space. Worried. Intuitively visioning a threat being triggered like an ENTP.

But you'd usually calm down, and learn that respect's a 2 way thing. Eventually.

[Loneliness]

...When you ask yourself "Why am I here?"

[Vocal]

When you can be counted on to come to the rescue.

Me sitting down at a dinner...
somebody: "is everything ok?"
Yeah, why? :D (I was actually ok at the moment and was surprised by that question as some other days I would understand I do not appear ok, as I do not feel ok, but it's well hidden I suppose.)

	When you're lost in your thoughts so much that you don't feel your body. Or when it's friday night and the thought of going out hasn't even crossed your mind.

When it's Friday evening 10pm and you are still stuck at work place because you just want to, it's the most quiet place, even more quiet than home

Hmm another thing I've learned now. Yeah is it possible? Yes, then I don't give up until it's proven it's impossible, some circumstances/conditions/things change.

What? There is a restaurant? I didn't know.
Yeah I'm not good with names, I have to write them down, then I can remember them though.

	...when your best friend is yourself for various reasons, including: nobody else understands you or your sense of humor, everybody else annoys you to some degree, you can carry on multiple conversations with yourself without any confusion but can't have a single simple conversation with another person without them staring at you blankly.

Well my last best friend could handle my "crazyness", but he was crazy too

INFP I suppose.

	...when you try to help someone, they ignore you, then they get pissed off, and you laugh at them.

Yeah I tend to laugh at moments when it's not actually appropriate.

You know you're an INTJ when you start laughing out of the blue, because your internal world is so much fun. Though everybody else in the room is looking at you with WTF is going on in their eyes.

	...when you have a list of books you want to read that's longer than your arm but you can't find either the books you want to read or the time to read them.

This is not fun, my list of books and movies and things to do will suffice for several life times already...

[Anemoi]

You can derive Maxwell's equation on the divergence of the electric field, and the non divergence of the magnetic field, BUT may someone ask you about where to get a charger for a regular cell phone.

[Masslessxphoton]

Anemoi-

I got a medal for that while in the Army. Really!

You know you're an INTJ when...

....you hate even the greatest of surprises

[Shadizar]

When you know someone is vaguely hinting something at you, and you dismiss it as unimportant background noise until they come right out say what they're hinting to you..

When you ask why am I here, and actually can't really remember what you were really doing that brought you to the present location.

when you are able to accurately predict plot developments and events such as car crashes in movies you have never seen before based on your observances of editing and subtle but perceptible changes between scenes of the make/model/condition of the car about to crash .

When you wash dishes and in your head redesign multi-terabyte size database and improve the performance thousand times fold.

[jibrielle]

When no one comprehends what you've just said even though very logical in your mind's eye.

[radicalrad]

1. When you see the intentional or accidental pun creeping up in conversation before it's made. You facepalm before they even know what they did wrong.

2. In movies, where you can tell through some obscure camera shot or minute detail that in fact the main character will die first instead of the black guy.

[Asocialkat]

For movies or tv shows that you haven't seen before:

a. you can accurately guess a character's line before he or she finishes the line or even begins to speak
b. you can guess whole plot lines based on the inclusion of one small detail in the dialog, environment, or a camera pan to a prop
c. you get so annoyed/irritated/frustrated by the simplistic content of the show/movie that you spend the rest of the night imagining yourself in that story and "fix it" so that the story is much more layered and interesting
d. a week later you are still quite amused and entertained by your ever growing and more complicated story world (which by then bears little resemblance to the 1-dimensional one created by the tv show/movie).

Keep in mind though, I'm probably more of a INTP. You might not relate to C and D.

Re: traffic fantasies

My fantasy doesn't include dinosaurs. My car sprouts go-go-gadget wheels (kind of like stilts with the wheels attached) that can zoom over the other cars (my car never turns into a plane because that would make too much sense). While my car zooms over it's shorter counterparts, a machine gun and grenades are used...not to maim the occupants, but merely to "ugly-fy" the other cars or push them out of the way.

And now...my brain is editing my standard machine gun to a paint ball gatling gun to beautify the traffic jam. It's funny that I never thought about that option before. Wouldn't a paintball fight during traffic be hilarious?

Wait...what was the question again?

[Anemoi]

The truth can't escape from your Ni.

[Femmebott]

when you see a person trying to use the same "big words" on someone else that you owned them with.

[Shadizar]

When it has become obvious that you're speaking an entirely different language, despite being the local dialect.
