As an ENTJ, your primary mode of living is focused externally,
where you deal with things rationally and logically. Your secondary
mode is internal, where you take things in primarily via your
intuition.
ENTJs are natural born leaders. They live in a world of
possibilities where they see all sorts challenges to be surmounted,
and they want to be the ones responsible for surmounting them. They
have a drive for leadership, which is well-served by their
quickness to grasp complexities, their ability to absorb a large
amount of impersonal information, and their quick and decisive
judgments. They are "take charge" people.
ENTJs are very career-focused, and fit into the corporate world
quite naturally. They are constantly scanning their environment for
potential problems which they can turn into solutions. They
generally see things from a long-range perspective, and are usually
successful at identifying plans to turn problems around -
especially problems of a corporate nature. ENTJs are usually
successful in the business world, because they are so driven to
leadership. They're tireless in their efforts on the job, and
driven to visualize where an organization is headed. For these
reasons, they are natural corporate leaders.
There is not much room for error in the world of the ENTJ. They
dislike to see mistakes repeated, and have no patience with
inefficiency. They may become quite harsh when their patience is
tried in these respects, because they are not naturally tuned in to
people's feelings, and more than likely don't believe that they
should tailor their judgments in consideration for people's
feelings. ENTJs, like many types, have difficulty seeing things
from outside their own perspective. Unlike other types, ENTJs
naturally have little patience with people who do not see things
the same way as the ENTJ. The ENTJ needs to consciously work on
recognizing the value of other people's opinions, as well as the
value of being sensitive towards people's feelings. In the absence
of this awareness, the ENTJ will be a forceful, intimidating and
overbearing individual. This may be a real problem for the ENTJ,
who may be deprived of important information and collaboration from
others. In their personal world, it can make some ENTJs overbearing
as spouses or parents.
The ENTJ has a tremendous amount of personal power and presence
which will work for them as a force towards achieving their goals.
However, this personal power is also an agent of alienation and
self-aggrandizement, which the ENTJ would do well to avoid.
ENTJs are very forceful, decisive individuals. They make decisions
quickly, and are quick to verbalize their opinions and decisions to
the rest of the world. The ENTJ who has not developed their
Intuition will make decisions too hastily, without understanding
all of the issues and possible solutions. On the other hand, an
ENTJ who has not developed their Thinking side will have difficulty
applying logic to their insights, and will often make poor
decisions. In that case, they may have brilliant ideas and insight
into situations, but they may have little skill at determining how
to act upon their understanding, or their actions may be
inconsistent. An ENTJ who has developed in a generally less than
ideal way may become dictatorial and abrasive - intrusively giving
orders and direction without a sound reason for doing so, and
without consideration for the people involved.
Although ENTJs are not naturally tuned into other people's
feelings, these individuals frequently have very strong sentimental
streaks. Often these sentiments are very powerful to the ENTJ,
although they will likely hide it from general knowledge, believing
the feelings to be a weakness. Because the world of feelings and
values is not where the ENTJ naturally functions, they may
sometimes make value judgments and hold onto submerged emotions
which are ill-founded and inappropriate, and will cause them
problems - sometimes rather serious problems.
ENTJs love to interact with people. As Extroverts, they're
energized and stimulated primarily externally. There's nothing more
enjoyable and satisfying to the ENTJ than having a lively,
challenging conversation. They especially respect people who are
able to stand up to the ENTJ, and argue persuasively for their
point of view. There aren't too many people who will do so,
however, because the ENTJ is a very forceful and dynamic presence
who has a tremendous amount of self-confidence and excellent verbal
communication skills. Even the most confident individuals may
experience moments of self-doubt when debating a point with an
ENTJ.
ENTJs want their home to be beautiful, well-furnished, and
efficiently run. They're likely to place much emphasis on their
children being well-educated and structured, to desire a congenial
and devoted relationship with their spouse. At home, the ENTJ needs
to be in charge as much as he or she does in their career. The ENTJ
is likely best paired with someone who has a strong self-image, who
is also a Thinking type. Because the ENTJ is primarily focused on
their careers, some ENTJs have a problem with being constantly
absent from home, physically or mentally.
The ENTJ has many gifts which make it possible for them to have a
great deal of personal power, if they don't forget to remain
balanced in their lives. The are assertive, innovative, long-range
thinkers with an excellent ability to translate theories and
possibilities into solid plans of action. They are usually
tremendously forceful personalities, and have the tools to
accomplish whatever goals they set out for.
