This is not lack of identity, it is adapting to the structure (note: not perspective) to get to my desired outcome.
Exactly. People almost see this as selling out in some way. I talk to people in their own language. I'm still saying the same things, essentially, I just need to speak in their tongue for them to take it on board. Manipulation, essentially, but must that be such a dirty word?
Had queries, then deleted once I'd read this twice!
Have another question now though. Just so I understand. My boyfriend left school at 17. I got the highest results in my year at university. Would an INTJ consider my academic opinion more valid? I'm assuming it isn't this simple, right? Because in reality my boyfriend is at least as intelligent as me and this really shows. So do you just mean that they don't hold people's opinion in as much esteem if they are not intelligent? I mean, I do that. If someone's opinion of something doesn't sound very well thought out and I can see holes in it everywhere I probably won't give it too much thought. I won't actually say anything to them, but I won't give it too much thought. Would an INTJ actually point out the holes?
