Brief Summary
This video discusses how to socially engineer INTJs, one of the rarest personality types. It explains that while INTJs are often seen as unsocial-engineerable due to their high levels of paranoia, they can in fact be manipulated through careful and persistent efforts. The key is to appeal to their ego, self-importance, and desire for consistency, while also taking advantage of their tendency to live in the moment and struggle with long-term planning. The video provides a detailed example of how an INTP could manipulate an INTJ through a long-con approach known as the "Xanatos Gambit".

How to Social Engineer INTJs
The video begins by explaining that while INTJs are often seen as unsocial-engineerable due to their high levels of paranoia, they can in fact be manipulated through careful and persistent efforts. This is because INTJs can be extremely trusting once they decide to put their faith in someone, to the point of being almost gullible.
However, their paranoia is also a double-edged sword - it can protect them from manipulation, but can also lead to self-fulfilling prophecies that damage relationships. The key is to find the right balance between trust and paranoia, which separates the mature INTJs from the immature ones.
The video then provides an example of how an INTP could socially engineer an INTJ through a long-con approach known as the "Xanatos Gambit". The INTP, who was secretly working for a competitor, gained the INTJ's trust by consistently demonstrating loyalty and praising the INTJ's abilities. This appealed to the INTJ's sense of self-importance and caused them to let their guard down.
Over time, the INTP presented the INTJ with a series of choices that ultimately led the INTJ to share their proprietary blockchain algorithms, which the INTP then passed on to the competitor. The INTJ was unable to see the pattern of decisions that led to this outcome, as their Si demon (long-term memory) was not strong enough to track the INTP's manipulations.
The video emphasizes that social engineering INTJs requires an immense amount of patience and endurance, as they are extremely difficult to manipulate due to their paranoia. However, it is possible through techniques like the "Xanatos Gambit" that slowly erode their defenses over time. The video cautions that INTJs are not immune to such tactics, and that even the most intelligent and capable individuals can fall victim to skilled social engineers.
