INTJs are notoriously difficult to buy gifts, so I thought it might be interesting. For the most part, I agree with what he says about receiving gifts. We want practical and often boring things that we really need but haven't bothered to get. If you look closely, you can guess what we want. The only thing I completely disagree with is "maps". Maybe it's because my love language is words of affirmation, but I've always really liked postcards with some handwritten comments. As for how he approaches gift giving, what he says doesn't necessarily resonate with me as much, although when you get to a certain volume, some sort of organization is needed. I find that the best gifts I've given are those where I used my creative imagination to come up with an idea of something that the person didn't even think about before getting it, or maybe even paying very close attention when they weren't aware of it, and storing it in memory to get it later.
