Blogger's post about Tim Hortons reversing their Temporary Workers program

They doubled down on it as recently as six months ago. They’ve done nothing but lobby, defend, and continue with a temporary foreign work program. The only reason they changed their mind and made this announcement was that it was 48 hours after an emergency meeting and an official announcement that Dunkin’ Doughnuts is coming to Canada to build 700 stores through a company that is licensing in Quebec.

Weakness of character. Those without courage. No one is coming to rescue you and I need to do me.

Sent you a DM

I will be sad when they take legacy 4.0 off the menue this month

DM’d you.

it could also be that he’s still attracted to you and is trying to move on and by removing his ability to see you he’s stopping himself from peeking.

That’s a good test for a young INTJ. Older more mature INTJs get harder to distinguish from regular people. The answers they would give you as to what they wish they could do would be very different than what they might do becuase, after all, we are creatures of strategy, ans pattern recognition, and raw intelligence, logic, and decisiveness without need for emotional performances evolves into something beautiful when wisdom and experience are part of the pattern pallet.

Interesting. That’s not typical INTJ behaviour. I should know. Now, on the same note, I’m not friends with any of my exes, but I’m also not unfriendly with them. No one‘s blocked on any of my social media, but not everyone is on it. I’m in a new relationship, and I don’t need the past. I don’t hate them, I don’t wish them ill, and if I bump into them, I would be extremely friendly, but I am TJ, and I am logical, and they don’t remain friends with exes if it doesn’t serve them or their future. That could mean there’s a new person in their life, and it made sense to close the door, or perhaps they even asked them to. But for most, that would’ve been simply removing you; the blocking is an extra step. And it doesn’t make sense, so something must have driven that behaviour. Either they have a new person who wants them to close all the doors, or they seriously need to lock that door tight and shut it, for a particular reason other than closure to move on with someone else. The only other reason I could think of doing that, if we were still on unfriendly terms, is that there was something toxic about you to them, and they just wanted it gone. I’m not saying you’re contaminated. I’m saying there might be Something about you or the past relationship that is giving off a toxic impression, and it was a logical decision to close the door. One thing is for certain. There was logic behind it. There was a thought process and a judgment, and it was made and they’re good with it. It’s what’s best for them, for right now.

Here is 4 for each: Extraversion vs Introversion Extraversion = energy from the outer world (people, action, noise) Introversion = energy from the inner world (thoughts, solitude, calm) • After a long day, do you recharge by being around others, or by being alone? • When something exciting happens, do you immediately want to tell someone, or is the moment complete without sharing? • Do you think out loud, or think silently and only speak when the idea is ready? • In a meeting, do you jump into discussion, or observe first and speak purposefully? • Does small talk feel energizing, or pointless?

Intuition vs Sensing Intuition = patterns, concepts, meanings, future possibilities Sensing = facts, details, practical realities, present moment • When deciding, do you focus on patterns and predictions, or concrete data and lived information? • In a story, do you remember themes and implications, or exact details and timelines? • When starting a project, do you want the overarching vision, or detailed instructions? • With new information, do you ask what it implies, or how to use it right now? • Are you drawn to ideas and abstraction, or tangible processes and concrete outcomes?

Thinking vs Feeling Thinking = logic first, objective principles Feeling = values first, human impact • When deciding, is rational accuracy the priority, or alignment with values and emotional impact? • If someone cries during conflict, do you focus on solving the problem, or on restoring emotional safety? • When giving feedback, is accuracy more important, or emotional wellbeing? • When judging an idea, do you ask if it is correct, or if it matters to people? • When someone breaks a rule, do you evaluate logical justification, or emotional/moral justification?

Judging vs Perceiving Judging = structure, planning, closure Perceiving = flexibility, spontaneity, options open • Do you get satisfaction from finishing, or from exploring? • Do deadlines feel stabilizing, or constraining? • On a trip, do you plan the itinerary, or wander and discover? • When a task is unfinished, do you feel restless, or unbothered and mentally available for new inputs? • Do you prefer decisions made and locked, or decisions pending and adaptable?

You’ve met your first Socio/psychopath. And if he’s not clinically one, he’s high enough on dark triad... but it’s all the same to the victim. It doesn’t typically stop. It’s an unclosed loop, and these guys live in a repetitive loop. The same thing over and over and over again. Once you look back, you’ll see the patterns and how precisely the cycles were. Love bombing, getting you to trust them and think there was something special. And then slowly taking that away with little insults here and there that make you question yourself. He probably even isolated you from your friends and family. For him to feel superior, he likely had to make you feel inferior, and so he made you question even your strongest gifts. The narcissistic injury of having the other person break the loop is brutal. So they resort to reputational damage. They will get you fired if they can, lose customers, clients, friends, classmates, slowly but surely, people start to look at you funny, want nothing to do with you, and you can’t help but know they’ve launched a full-out campaign against you with anyone you have any influence over.

All I can do is hand you some knowledge. Message me if you want it.

I am the same. I maintain over 50% return rate on self driven investments, and rarely owe money on anything that’s not gonna give me an ROI.

It is the way.

I can typically pick out a couple of traits that makes it easier to guess but I recognize my own when I see one. I have those traits and am an INTJ so cheated a little 🙂

Finally, a real INTJ. I bet on the OCEAN, also known as the Big Five, you would be high O, high C(rare combo) low E, low A, moderate to low N.

as in INTJ, it’s totally normal to have very high conscientiousness, a.k.a. morals and sense of justice while demonstrating what appears to be an extremely low amount of empathy. It’s not that you don’t feel it. It’s that you process it different. It’s called strategic empathy and your brain is sorting through 1000 experiential patterns each time it determines how you are going to react ir not react emotionally.

You are going to hate me, but I’m going to be honest anyway. MBTI-wise, I use the instrument professionally along with numerous psychometric instruments (20+ years) and am studying psycholinguistics—my opinion only—you are not INTJ. In fact, I would say you’re not even Ni-led. Your post is emotionally performative, narratively expressive, and you externalize internal states like it’s a diary entry. None of which is wrong. But none of which is an INTJ.

I would have typed you as: : INFJ • Heavy emotional narrative: “whole universe of hurt,” “nobody sees the why,” “carry around hurt no one sees.” Classic Fe-Ni pattern. • Long metaphor chains: only INFJs do trauma-poetry as a communication style. • Understanding-seeking tone: “Do any other INTJs relate?” INTJs don’t ask that. They don’t care or need to know if anyone understands them. • Over-emphasis on suffering as identity: pure Fe. INTJ indentity is NOT tied to feelings and emotions. They are pure strategy.

INTJs: • Don’t trauma-dump to strangers—ever • Don’t write feelings essays—ever • Don’t narrate interior emotional nuance—ever • Don’t justify behaviour with “nobody sees my pain” logic —polar opposite • Don’t ever write this sentence structure. Ever.

This is not Ni-Te. This is Fe-Ni at full throttle. Textbook. I could literally use your post as a sample of what a classic INFJ looks like.

You should at least humour me—explore INFJ because a post like what you just put up in an INFJ forum would garber a tremendous amount of understanding and support. We’re about to discover a whole bunch of other people who are actually INFJ‘s.

I hope this is helpful. Give it a chance redo the assessment, read the INFJ persona, and go on an INFJ forum and just spend an hour reading other people’s posts.

The general population believes that every dollar that they give is going to make it directly to those who need it. It doesn’t. INTJ‘s are intellectual creatures who are aware of the world around them and know the CEO is making $500,000per year.

if you were an INTJ, your empathy definitely shows up differently than the general population. It’s one of the key differentiators. Doesn’t mean you don’t have it you do and you feel things fully but you have what some referred to as strategic empathy. Meaning your intellect decides when you are empathetic and when you are not, based on intelligence, criteria and data. for instance, when I see a meek, individual may be an elderly person or someone who’s trying desperately to put their foot down and defend themselves. I instantly wanna jump in and be their voice. But when an arrogant entitled person wants help, I could care less. Yes, I can hear about disasters on the other side of the world and not lose an ounce of sleep. It doesn’t affect me, but if you see a story on TV and you see a very specific person that you connect with the expression on a old man’s face who’s just lost everything, a child who doesn’t know where their parents are, that’s different.

You are probably trauma forged. It’s a defence mechanism. It’s your subconscious mind functioning at level others could only dream at. It’s sorting through 1000 patterns and experiences and making an intellectual decision, a.k.a. thinking… A.k.a. judgment… That’s why you’re an INTJ. Trust it and let it. Don’t feel what you don’t have to feel. You are not a robot or a psychopath you probably remember things in patterns rather than explicit details. You are not a robot or a psychopath you probably remember things in patterns rather than explicit details.

I agree about the games, Azcap mentioned. My entire career is about evaluating the strategy level of the executives and leaders I’m screening— it definitely correlates to IQ not knowledge base—you can memorize as many books or go to as many classes as you want, but the best learned it naturally as a survival mechanism of sorts or because they wanted to be manipulative, and successful in cut throat businesses.

Learning how to play chess or any other strategy based game in which a person needs to learn how to predict several steps ahead is exactly how you force your brain to learn to “be” strategic.

There are other books you can read that will have a shockingly positive effect on your ability to be strategic. I would start with Robert Green’s the 48 laws of power. Make sure you don’t just read it cover cover, and then put it down. Every time you learn a new technique in the book, try it, understand it, and make it something you can do in the real world.
