Given my relationship with my INTJ mother, I wonder what it must be like having two INTJ parents! These kids will grow up in a wonderland of make-believe! So much stimulation!

My father is a classic INTJ. (He was tested by a psychologist, so he has a doctor's note!) He is more of a logical thinker and a practical person, but I got my love for sci-fi/fantasy from him. My mother...I dunno what she is. XD

I go between INTP and INFP, but I think I lean towards the thinking more than the feeling. I think you are probably more of a "P."

For INTJ the ideal match is supposedly ENTP/ENFP:

"the INTJ's natural partner is the ENFP, or the ENTP"

But, at the same time, there is also a lot of hate:

These tests are:

Would never happen, they would not stand each other.

I've been to tea-leaf readers, palm readers, general psychics and mediums but never to a full-blown sceance.

At the age of 9 she got me a seat in at an international UFO/alien conference. And when I was 14 she enrolled me in university in a philosophy course. I was the youngest person ever to be enrolled in that course. I didn't finish it because of school obligations but it was definitely interesting.

I loved playing dress-up as a little girl and she loved dressing me up. I was dressed up in kimonos as Chinese. I had a red hat which made me a turk. I was other characters too - like a penguin and a devil. I had the crazy idea of dressing up as a stove and she made me a very realistic stove costume

Growing up with an INTJ mom was exciting!

Ha Kazi, your mom does seem like quite an interesting individual

! I wish my mom was that interesting.

We INTJs are quirky, intellectual and unique people. Nothing wrong with that!

Funny, I also have a hat proclivity towards the fez and I know about another female INTJ who also does. Fez = female INTJ fedora confirmed?

Smh. This is like saying a lion's """""natural partner""""" is a zebra. Or a bear's natural partner is a salmon. Or an ophiocordyceps unilateralis' natural partner is a Camponotini ant. You get the picture.

I love her to bits but she can be fucking hard work sometimes.

She experiences emotion to the extreme: specifically sadness and anger. When things get to her she starts crying or screaming - or both. She doesn't have very good coping mechanisms. She's not an angry person, but her sadness and frustration manifests itself by throwing things around whilst screaming at 200 decibels. Once she's tired from that she sinks into a heap of tears, regretful and fearful that everybody hates her now. Her frustration tolerance is low, so unless everything is going very smoothly the anger/crying cycle repeats itself. It can be very exhausting.

Nothing is allowed to be alone or unloved. If she goes to the shop and there is a single apple lying on the shelf, she will buy it so that it isn't alone. She'll buy a broken ornament because she knows that other people will ignore it because it's broken but it is as deserving of love as the ornaments that aren't broken. If there are two eggs left in the fridge, she'll either use both or neither because she cannot bear to leave the one on its own. Same with fruit - the bowl is either empty or has two of everything. If there is a small single splash of water on a shelf, she'll run her finger down the middle to make it two.

She has this 'saviour' complex where feels she has to save 'broken' people. When I was growing up she always had a boyfriend of some kind, usually one who needed money and who quickly disappeared when he had what he wanted. I'll be sitting here writing for the next six hours if I have to describe each and every bankrupt asshole she brought into our house: he needs money, he doesn't have anyone who cares for him, he can't afford a car, he doesn't have anywhere to stay, all he needs is love. She thought that by fulfilling these needs she will get their love in return. Every time she was left empty-handed with a broken heart.

It must be hell for her to be her. Seriously.

I was three. She made it from cardboard, stuck red crinkle paper on it and made a black tassel with wool. I never knew what a Turk was until much later. I thought a Turk was the name for the hat. I must find a picture of it sometime!
