ENTJ Introduction

People of the ENTJ personality type are charming, straightforward, and rational in their actions. ENTJs are aggressive and love being in control; they perceive themselves as leaders and managers, managing people and procedures to attain their objectives.

I. What Does ENTJ Stand For?

ENTJ stands for Extraversion, iNtuition, Thinking, and Judgement and is one of 16 personality types studied from the MBTI test (Myers-Briggs Type Indicator). The MBTI personality assessment developed by Isabel Briggs Myers, Katharine Cook Briggs, and David Keirsey from the work of psychiatrist Carl G. Jung, the types of psychology based on theories of cognitive functions. Keirsey named ENTJ The Field Marshal/ The Commander because their innate ability is to command and lead people. ENTJ is one of four personality types of The Rational.

II. Personality Traits of The ENTJ Group

ENTJs take their careers very seriously, and they inevitably fit into the workplace world. They always look at their surroundings for potential problems that they can turn into solutions.

People with this personality type embody charisma and confidence, and project authority in a way that holds people together for a common goal. However, ENTJs are also characterized by their extreme level of reasoning, using their motivation, determination, and sharp minds to achieve whatever goals they have set for themselves.

If there is anything ENTJs love, it is a good challenge, either big or small and they firmly believe that with enough time and resources, they can achieve any goal. This quality makes people with this personality group exceptional entrepreneurs, and the ability to think strategically and to focus on the long-term while executing the plan step by step with determination and precision that makes them a high-powered business leader.

Their determination is often self-fulfilling, as ENTJs advance their goals with sheer willpower while others may give up, and their Extraverted (E) nature means that they are capable of motivating everyone else to accompany them to achieve spectacular results in the process. 

III. The Cognitive Functions of The ENTJ Group

Dominant: Extraverted Thinking

This is the dominant function of ENTJs and is reflected in the way they make decisions and judgments.

Tertiary: Extraverted Sensing

This cognitive function gives ENTJs a sense of adventure. They enjoy novel experiences and can sometimes engage in thrill-seeking behaviors. Because of this tendency, they also have an appreciation for the beautiful things in life. They often like to surround themselves with things that they find interesting or appealing.

Inferior: Introverted Feeling

This function focuses on inner feelings and values. Emotions can be a difficult area for ENTJs, and they often lack an understanding of how this personality contributes to their decision-making process. When this aspect of personality is inferior, ENTJs may feel uncomfortable or awkward in environments where some type of emotional response is required.

Sometimes, some people may think that ENTJs are arrogant and emotionless but it is their instinct, after all, they still want to focus on the results of their work with the highest productivity.

ENTJs are the innate leaders. Their world is always full of potential which contains all kinds of challenges to conquer and they are the subjugator. They have a quick grasp of complex issues, can absorb large amounts of objective information, and finally, the acumen and decisiveness in making decisions. ENTJs are always the ones in charge.

V. Strengths and Weaknesses of ENTJs

1. ENTJ Strengths

ENTJs are foresighted and often very efficient at coming up with solutions to change situations – especially collective problems. They are often very successful in business fields because they always do their best in leadership roles.

ENTJs are very fond of human interaction. They are extroverted, very active, and mostly stimulated by outside forces. There is nothing more amusing and satisfying than a heated and challenging debate. ENTJs respect those who dare to fight and defend their views. However, very few people dare to do so because ENTJs are persuasive and have strong demeanor, they are extremely confident in themselves and believe they have excellent communication ability.

ENTJs are intelligent and assertive. They make decisions very quickly and are also very good at expressing their opinions and decisions to people. 

ENTJs are eager to learn and continuously improve their knowledge and develop themselves in all aspects of their life.

ENTJs have an impartial mindset and are always concerned with doing fair and righteous things.

ENTJs can transform a conflict situation into a positive lesson.

ENTJs take their promises and commitments seriously.

2. ENTJ Weaknesses

ENTJs can become very irritable when their patience is tested in unfavorable situations because they are less sympathetic to the feelings of others, and they believe that they do not need to adjust their comments to adapt to the feelings of others. In the world of ENTJs, there is no room for failures. They dislike seeing mistakes, especially repeated ones, and they cannot tolerate incompetence and inadequacy. 

ENTJs need to learn to listen to and acknowledge people's opinions, as well as the value of understanding their feelings. Once these issues are unaware, ENTJs can become overbearing and intimidating. This is a major problem for ENTJs whenever they feel a lack of important information and cooperation from others. In terms of personal life, this can lead to them being tyrannical in the role of spouse or parents.

Sometimes they are strongly influenced by emotions. This sentimentality has a huge impact on ENTJs, even though they always seek to hide it because they know that it is their weakness. Because they are not good at working on emotional factors, occasionally, they make subjective judgments and believe in unfounded, inappropriate emotions, which will put ENTJs in trouble.

When ENTJs have not developed intuitional cognitive function, they often make hasty decisions without understanding all aspects of the problem and other possible solutions.

An ENTJ that is not fully developed in terms of thinking will have difficulty in using logical reasoning or understanding the problem, and they often make inaccurate decisions. In such cases, ENTJs may have creative ideas and discernment about the current situation but are unable to decide how to act, or their actions can be very contradictory. They can become dictatorships, rude, arbitrarily make decisions or orders without good cause, and disregard the opinions of those involved.

ENTJs are not sensitive or delicate in appreciating or recognizing the need to be appreciated by others.

VI. Personal Relationships of ENTJs

1. Romantic relationship

ENTJs will constantly learn and review the principles and properties of their romantic relationships. They greatly appreciate relationships, especially those that bring them new challenges and stimulate the spirit of learning. In the process of acquiring that knowledge, it has contributed to improving true affection and satisfaction for ENTJs.

ENTJs approach dating and relationships with a set of goals and plan to achieve them, while at the same time proceeding with impressive energy and enthusiasm. People with this personality type like to win and are willing to take on leading roles in relationships from the start, take personal responsibility for how things went well, and work hard to ensure a win-win experience. Romantic relationships are a serious affair and ENTJs look for a long-term and stable one.

In reality, ENTJs want to be responsible for relationships. In daily communication, ENTJs are often straightforward so it is easy to cause conflicts, sometimes, they even criticize badly and make it difficult for others. People who have a close relationship with ENTJs need to be very strong and steady, in return, ENTJs will bring them many interesting things.

As with other Analyst types, ENTJs are most suitable with other iNtuitive (N) types that have one or two opposing features to create more balance in the relationship. Mature ENTJs can recognize and adapt to their partners' needs and know that even the most rational individuals have emotional needs that demand to be met. Fortunately, the same logic that dismisses emotions is also able to realize that attitudes of reconciliation can be the best tool for getting the job done. With a strong sense of responsibility and dedication, people with this personality type are sure to make an effort to achieve lasting and satisfying relationships.

2. Friendship

In general, ENTJs spend a lot of time paying attention to friendship. It is not easy to become close friends with them. They are people with a strong will, are very smart, good at debate and criticism. Not everyone can tolerate a debate with them – and this is the main reason why ENTJs respect and appreciate those who are capable of defending their views. Worth mentioning, ENTJs neither understand nor respect emotional reasons and requests. They are very rational people who can only accept a different view if it is proved by logic and rationality.

Naturally, ENTJs also have difficulty supporting others emotionally. Dealing with emotions is not their strong point, and they do everything they can to avoid emotional situations. ENTJs like to challenge their friends and question their conclusions. This type of personality is particularly vulnerable to criticism and tends to be very personal.

The ENTJs seek two main things in friendship: inspiration and personal growth. Unlike many other personality groups, they don't need much mental support or reassurance. ENTJs enjoy fascinating mysterious ideas and meaningful discussions with close friends. People with this type of personality are very good at recognizing learning and growth opportunities, and they always try to encourage their friends to join in.

They tend to put self-improvement and self-development above everything else when it comes to finding and building personal relationships, it is doubtful that they will pursue relationships that do not bring them such opportunities. ENTJs are attracted to other iNtuition  (N) groups because these people will support them to brainstorm and make hypotheses about what they consider to be important.

In short, ENTJs are always enthusiastic and try their best in their relationships. Their motto is "never too old to learn" so they will try to absorb and turn everything into their lessons. 

3. Parenthood

ENTJs are always up for the challenge and will value their role as parents and with the highest sense of personal responsibility. Holding themselves to a higher standard than most people, ENTJs see their children's success as a reflection of those personal standards and want nothing more than to see them develop into intelligent, independent people, and always try to achieve their goals. ENTJ parents value the cultivation of independent, rational thought and wisdom rather than establishing specific moral values.

They welcome the difference of opinions, and this is true for their children as well. But while excited to have rational, thorough discussions about roles and responsibilities, ENTJs expect their authority to be respected. Disagreement is not a reason to evade established responsibilities, and ENTJ parents have absolutely no tolerance for maintaining this structure.

This strictness may cause a major source of stress in the home, and instead, a little flexibility can be of great help. ENTJ parents should strive to reinforce this skill – often young children don't have enough words to express their needs and teenagers don't have enough patience for that, a completely natural condition.

ENTJ parents should remember that part of developing a necessary sense of independence is being able to control one's own schedule and activities, to chart one's own path, at least to a certain extent. They will spare no effort on their children, but sometimes it is advisable to loosen their structures as their children mature and grow up to do more to achieve their goal of raising capable and intelligent adults.

4. Relationship with other personality groups

ENTJs are usually very active and direct in conversations. They are responsible, clearly strategize for others what needs to be done in an organization or project. Sometimes, they will get in trouble because of some criticisms about a tough or overwhelmingly personal approach.

For ENTP, INTJ, ESTJ groups: they have similar qualities and many things in common so it is easy for ENTJs to share values, interests, and approaches with these groups.

For ISTJ, ENTJ, ENFJ, ENFP groups: they have some differences, however, these turn to be quite attractive to ENTJs. They still have few things in common to build a well-balanced relationship with these groups.

For INFJ, ISTP, ESTP, ESFJ groups: at first, ENTJs may have some difficulties accessing and connecting with these groups. Still, after knowing each other for a while, they will discover commonalities as well as other points of view that can complement each other.

For INFP, ISFJ, ESFP, ISFP groups: these groups are quite distinct and contrast to ENTJs. But if it is possible to develop relationships with each other, ENTJs will learn and develop themselves from these groups, the challenges always come along with great opportunities.

VII. ENTJ Career Paths and Development Areas

Typical ENTJs' career is defined by several characteristics that most people who come into contact with them can recognize: energy, determination, and leadership. These traits tend to push ENTJs toward certain professions and also somewhat limit their options, however, they do not regret it.

ENTJs love transforming ideas into practical plans, which is one of their strengths and also typical of the careers they focus on. They are forward-looking and have a rare level of confidence compared to other personality groups. These characteristics make ENTJs excellent in positions of CEO, entrepreneur, corporate strategist – they will have the energy and determination to implement an idea even when there are many obstacles in their way.

ENTJs are extraordinary verbal communicators, they like structure and order, but hate routine. This means that ENTJs have the foresight that makes them suitable for leadership positions.

VIII. How ENTJs perform in the work and learning environment

From a very young age, people with the ENTJ personality have always been interested in achievements. Because learning is one of the main ways for them to move toward ideals, it plays a huge role in their lives.

ENTJs can be very patient while learning as long as they can see a way to apply this knowledge in the future. On the other hand, they are very good at memorizing worthless facts or studying something without practical application.

But ENTJ students have a special love for figures like charts and spreadsheets, which help them organize information and remember facts and formulas more efficiently. Other good ways that ENTJs can learn better are criticism, analysis, and debate. Also, they like to challenge themselves by setting deadlines for their projects and then trying to do that in less time.

ENTJs have high expectations for both the system and the people they work with. They are naturally always suited to leadership positions, or at least, they need to work in an independent environment where they can apply organizational skills. Long-term planning, handling complex problems, and encouraging others are things that ENTJs do best.

Subordinate positions are challenging for ENTJs, requiring active management to ensure their satisfaction and engagement. They learn new skills and look for new challenges and responsibilities, eager to prove that nothing is impossible with hard work. When they get involved in projects around them, they prove to be well organized and prioritized.

Among colleagues, ENTJs are very sociable and love to share opinions and criticisms during their regular brainstorming meetings. They tend to assert themselves in positions as project representatives and leaders, considering their objectivity and charisma as the perfect qualities for these roles. ENTJs also enjoy working with people on their peers, however, they tend to be viewed as arrogant and boastful by people less competent than them.

ENTJ managers are confident communicators and they focus on two goals: getting the job done as efficiently as possible and reaching the highest quality standards. They are natural leaders with the ability to strategize and define the strengths of each member of the team, incorporating those abilities into their plans so that each individual takes on an important and unique role, which makes them possible to be motivators.

ENTJs are naturally focused individuals who strive toward long-term goals. ENTJs are more likely to thrive at work when their coworkers are willing to work hard, value critical feedback, and make sound judgments.

Extroverts like ENTJs prefer to work with others, these ENTJ career matches will be suited to them. Working toward huge objectives drives them, and they are inclined to value having coworkers that work in a similar manner. Because ENTJs appreciate open expression, it is important that their coworkers learn to value meaningful, constructive criticism. They get along well with those who can think critically about important issues.

For the ENTJ, their profession is extremely essential, and choosing one that they can handle and excel at is critical to their future. They believe in pushing themselves to continue growing and learning in order to achieve the pinnacle of their job.

ENFP MBTI types may hit obstacles in professional relationships when they:

Other people's orders must be obeyed. The ENTP MBTI personality type values initiative and creativity. They don't want to work with individuals that push them to conform. They may even make unexpected judgments if pressured.
ENTJs value their independence and may find it difficult to follow orders from others. They may inadvertently talk over others if they feel aroused or fired up during a dispute. Direct comments from ENTJs might be upsetting to those who aren't used to constructive criticism or who are naturally sensitive.

When it comes to choosing their ENTJ career matches, ENTJs may be a bit obstinate, which can be both a strength and a weakness. This places individuals in situations where following directions from others might be difficult. When they have to work for someone else, especially someone they perceive to be inefficient, they get anxious and agitated. They may have difficulty suppressing their emotions, making these ENTJ career matches difficult for them.

II. 10 Best ENTJ Career Matches

Executive is one of the finest ENTJ career matches for these sorts of people. They are more at ease in these roles since they have the necessary freedoms and responsibilities. They are not continuously stressed out by having to answer to someone else; instead, they have a sense of control over their jobs and lives. ENTJs are excellent leaders because they are not overbearing but have just the proper amount of aggressiveness to take command.

When it comes to becoming a corporate executive, they frequently feel pleased and at ease in their positions. Knowing that they can create plans and put things in motion without continuously relying on others gives them a sense of personal success.

2. Politician

Politicians must be able to persuade others to their point of view, which ENTJ personalities excel at because they can be aggressive. They can understand the broad picture and can naturally lead people, both of which are characteristics of a great politician.

Because ENTJs are typically self-assured in their skills, criticism and disagreement do not bother them, and they are willing to force their opinions on others, making them well suited to these kinds of ENTJ career matches.

3. Sales Manager

While some personality types despise working in sales, ENTJs frequently love it. It is preferable for them if they can go to a higher level while not having to answer to too many people. As the sales manager, they are frequently excellent at delegating and supervising others, as well as knowing just how to approach individuals and circumstances. They like and are frequently effective at leading and coaching others.

It is frequently natural for the ENTJ to be the one directing a group and instructing them how to get the greatest outcomes. As a sales manager, they may devise effective methods for increasing sales and will love guiding their team down this road. ENTJs are also generally extroverted persons who like interacting with others and may perform well in sales positions.

4. CEO

ENTJs hold more CEO positions than any other personality type. CEO jobs fit ENTJ career matches since they seek and succeed in positions of authority.

ENTJs like to take command of circumstances and impose their strategic solution. They are naturally extroverted and can encourage teams, give strong speeches in front of big crowds, and keep many projects on track to produce outcomes.

5. Lawyer

ENTJs make excellent lawyers, especially when working in more difficult situations. They can understand a large amount of information and retain facts quite well. ENTJs love the ability to evaluate facts and discover the most logical way to settling their issue and providing their customer with what they want.

6. Engineer

The most successful engineers use strategic thinking to discover the greatest and most innovative solutions to life's challenges, sometimes even designing or manufacturing items we didn't realize we needed.

Attention to detail and the ability to persuade indicate that ENTJs who are scientific or mathematically inclined would perform well in the engineering sector.

7.  Armed Forces Officer

Natural leaders who desire structure, ENTJ types can have a great career in the military services if they can first learn to obey commands in order to get to the highest levels.

ENTJs are strategic thinkers who may be decisive, aggressive, and adept at persuading others to their point of view, which is ideal for a military leader. They may set aside their own and others' personal demands to complete a task.

In some professions, ENTJ career matches can be obsessed about their job and have little patience for people who do not deliver on their perceived goals - two flaws that can be converted into strengths by a career in the military services.

8. Doctor/Surgeon

To be a successful doctor or medical specialist, you must have a strong work ethic, as well as drive, efficiency, and focus. Because of their attention to detail and strategic vision, ENTJ personalities make great doctors.

ENTJs also commit to completing a task without deviation, which is required of a brain or heart surgeon, as well as the character and capacity to manage a team to achieve such tasks.

9. Life Coach

Applying creativity and smart thinking to assist others in achieving a certain goal may appeal to an ENTJ, especially if they can combine the job with operating their own business.
Consideration of all aspects of the larger picture, followed by advise to encourage and allow a client to adopt a certain course of action, might be the ideal mix for an ENTJ personality type.

10. Public Speaker

They are strong-willed individuals who dislike letting any impediment to stand in their way, and this is something they frequently wish to pass on to others. Because ENTJs don't believe in making excuses, their techniques may be a little more direct, but they typically obtain the outcomes that are required in that circumstance.

As public speakers, ENTJs may communicate the message in a clear and exact way, accomplishing what is necessary to convey the idea to the audience without seeming complex or jumbled.

III. Career matches for ENTJ Types to Avoid

The following occupations are less likely to please an ENFP and may lead them to feel pressured and tired.

1. Lorry Driver

ENTJ personalities require challenges and the freedom to make their own judgments about how to complete a job - neither of which are high priorities for a lorry driver. Drivers are frequently required to follow a predetermined route, and a long trip can get repetitive and uninteresting, leaving ENTJ types yearning for something new after only a few excursions.
Drivers must also adhere to tight restrictions about breaks and working patterns, which ENTJs may trouble with because they want to work all hours to obtain

2. Factory Worker

Some ENTJ career matches believe that spending all day doing repetitive manual activities with little chance for strategic thinking is not a suitable fit for an ENTJ personality type. They would rapidly become bored with the task.

Without the ability to observe the consequences of their labor and to influence others in their team, ENTJ types are more likely to fall behind schedule and lose their jobs.

3. Data Entry

ENTJ personalities will wither if they lack originality and the capacity to impose their own structure on the way of completing a task. Data entry positions sometimes involve strict adherence to certain protocols and procedures, which can be tedious for ENTJ personalities.
Without a clear path to management, ENTJ types will struggle to retain a job under someone else's particular control for lengthy periods of time.

ENTJ-T

ENTJ Compatibility & Relationship

ENTJ Characters

ENTJs have plenty of confidence, strong wills, and the ability to inspire others. Therefore ENTJ characters are very popular in many fictional movies.

I. The overview of ENTJ characters

The same MBTI methods may be used to define the personality types of fictional characters. Some of the most well-known and interesting fictional characters from novels, movies, television series, and anime have been identified as ENTJ characters. They all have similar attitudes and actions, and it's fascinating to watch their evolution throughout the course of their stories. This provides us with a comprehensive picture of not just this type's strengths and shortcomings, but also insights into how ENTJs behave in various situations. So, without further ado, let's get started with this enormous list of ENTJ characters.

II. 10 ENTJ Anime characters

1. Tobio Kageyama

Tobio Kageyama is acclaimed as the “king of the court” in the program All World Alliance, due to his authoritarian attitude toward the squad he commands (as is common of ENTJ characters). Because of their natural leader, and their obsession with their plans and the information they have about achieving a given objective, they might come off as harsh and dictatorial at times.

2. Rei Hino

Rei Hino is one of the ENTJ characters from Sailor Moon, and while it would be a stretch to claim that she possesses all of the ENTJ characters qualities, her powers and some of her behaviors reflect normal ENTJ personality types.

Rei Hino possesses abilities such as precognition and archery, which may be interpreted as metaphors for ENTJ characteristics such as a single vision of a goal and the brains to carry out their plans.

In classic ENTJ form, Rei Hino is also passionate and speaks up for what she believes in.

3. Reinhard von Lohengramm

Reinhard von Lohengramm is an ENTJ anime character who features in the show Legend of the Galactic Heroes.

This man’s major ENTJ characteristic is the natural tendency to lead. He wins a war after collecting various different cultures under one goal, after which he makes himself the new official leader, and brings out radical changes in all sorts of policies under his command. That kind of commanding quality is seen often in ENTJ characters. 

4. Lloyd Asplund

Lloyd Asplund, one of the typical ENTJ characters in Code Geass, may not be an ENTJ in and of itself, but he does exhibit certain characteristics that might be classed as ENTJ.

ENTJs are also capable of eliminating emotion from a situation, including certain relationships, when emotion appears to be complicating things, and this is something Lloyd excels at since he sees people as machines and objects to manage or analyze.

He is not an Extrovert, since he tends to keep things about himself to himself, but he does have certain other qualities that make him a very accurate ENTJ.

4. Spectra Phantom

Spectra Phantom is an ENTJ anime character from the Bakugan Battle Brawlers: New Vestroia series, and he is yet another character that exhibits the traditional ENTJ trait of being a leader, although a little hostile one.

His qualities of not being frightened by opponents or unfavorable situations, as well as his confidence, or even overconfidence, in his skills, can be found in many ENTJ characters.

He's also clever and understands how to get his way, and he keeps this trait even after he's no longer an enemy.

5. Charles Vi Britannia

Charles Vi Britannia is included in the list of ENTJ characters because of his strong leadership position and the emphasis he places on being powerful in order to survive in society.

It is worth noting, however, that his hostile beliefs and ideals appear to originate from his terrible childhood, since he frequently watched his relatives killing each other in quest of the kingdom while he was a youngster.

This experience may have pushed his natural, healthy ENTJ tendencies of wanting to gain power and be in a dominating position via hard effort to the forefront of his mind as something everyone must accomplish or perish.

6. Uncle Iroh

Because of his traits such as being a crown prince and master of his chosen skill of Firebending, as well as his occasional thirst for power, Iroh from the show Avatar can also be included in the ENTJ characters category.

He was highly strategic and cunning, and he led his army into numerous successful endeavors, which speaks to commandant or ENTJ qualities.

7. Neji Hyuga

The show's Neji Hyuga Naruto begins as a stoic, philosophical individual who appears to fit on the INTP list, but his final drive to become as powerful as possible and ensure that he has the capacity to conquer any obstacle via practice and training makes Neji a suitable ENTJ anime character as well.

Neji also has some terrible experiences in his past that influence his behavior, such as his stoicism, which may be a result of early losses he had, and as he begins to emerge out of his shell, he is able to care about freedom again and is shown reacting to birds soaring in the sky.

8. Shikamaru Nara

Shikamaru Nara, another Naruto character, has certain characteristics that make him look similar to other ENTJ characters.

The fact that he is able to mature and begin doing what is required indicates that he possesses the strength to complete tasks that are assigned to him, which makes him quite similar to an ENTJ.

An ENTJ does not always get what they want since they are stubborn and determined; then they'd have to do things they don't want to do and take on obligations they would prefer avoid, as Shikamaru demonstrates.

9. Misaki Ayuzawa

On the Kaichou Wa Maid-Sama, we find another ENTJ character named Misaki Ayuzawa, who exhibits ENTJ characteristics such as leadership and a desire to reach positions of power such as President, hard work, and being proactive when things need to be done.
She also has a gentler side and is helpful, but what actually motivates her is a desire to succeed in life and overcome the challenges she has faced throughout her life.
She is fearless and driven, and she has a natural proclivity to throw herself wholeheartedly into anything she undertakes. These are very ENTJ characteristics.

10. Misa Amane

Misa Amane is another D-Note character who shares certain characteristics with other ENTJ characters.

For one thing, she is a lot more extroverted and popular than her goth or punk appearance would imply. Her outgoing personality places her solidly in the ENTJ camp.

She also exhibits unusual emotional responses, as do several ENTJs, and warns Light that she would kill any ladies he dates. She may also be harsh on occasion, which people may notice in ENTJs since their obsession with oneself and their own objectives can sometimes make them insensitive to the needs and desires of others.

III. 10 ENTJ Disney characters

1. Tiana from The Princess And The Frog

Tiana defies all preconceptions by being a strong, independent, analytical thinker who likes to make decisions based on logic rather than emotions. She is a textbook example of an ENTJ lady. Tiana is extremely opportunistic, pushing herself into any scenario in order to achieve her objectives. Although she might be impulsive at times, her activities are well-planned and ultimately lead to her achieving her ambition.

2. Princess Kida from Atlantis

Princess Kida is yet another excellent example of the ENTJ personality type, sometimes known as the "commander." While Kida appears to be lovely and graceful, her demeanor is far from that of a conventional Disney Princess.

Kida is forceful, aggressive, and a little bossy. She is the sort of person that will never be afraid to speak precisely what she is thinking, even if it is improper or vulgar. Despite her outspokenness, she has a kind side, and the people she meets along the road come to admire her go-getter nature.

3. Marie from The Aristrocats

Marie from The Aristocats is a fantastic example of an ENTJ villain from the Disney world. Despite the fact that she is cute and fluffy, with a precious pink ribbon, she is one hell of a cat that refuses to be underestimated merely because she seems innocent to the outside world. Don't be fooled by her cuteness.

This cat bites. Marie is the type of cat who requires dominance over all other felines and will always portray herself in the best light possible. She expects perfection from everyone around her, and she wants to be flawless herself. This is a characteristic ENTJ attitude in which people strive to be the greatest versions of themselves.

4. Edna from The Incredibles

ENTJs are recognized for their tremendous work ethic. Commanders are among the most likely of the sixteen personality types to succeed in their jobs.

This is due to the fact that they push themselves as hard as humanly feasible. They will not stop until all of their highest ambitions and objectives are realized. This is why Edna is such a force to be reckoned with, and why she is one of the most accomplished and skilled costume designers the world has ever seen. Don't be fooled by her little appearance. This woman is on top of the world, and it's all owing to her ENTJ personality type.

5. Buzz Lightyear from Toy Story

Buzz Lightyear is a Disney figure that is frequently categorized as an ENTJ, and it's easy to see why. Buzz is the ideal "commander," strong and forceful. He is also a very devoted friend, and ENTJs are recognized for their commitment to the ones they care about the most.

6. Woody from Toy Story

If ENTJs are to be recognized for anything, it will be their leadership abilities. Because of their confidence and aggressiveness, this commander personality type understands how to take the lead in any scenario. They are the epitome of "Type A," and people appreciate their innate ability to take command of any situation.

Woody enjoys setting a positive example for his friends, and he wants everyone of his best friend to reach their full potential. He and Buzz may occasionally squabble over who gets to be in control, but at the end of the day, everyone gets to contribute their two cents.

7. Galleria from The Cheetah Girls

Raven Symone's character in The Cheetah Girls is one of other ENTJ characters. She is the sort of person that demands the best not just from her peers but also from herself. She's a bit of a perfectionist, and she's always quick to encourage her friends to give it their all in their performances.

Nevertheless, because Galleria occasionally pushes her pals too hard, this leads to some friction among their buddy group. Her motives, on the other hand, are excellent. She simply wishes for everyone to realize their full potential. It ends up being a success since The Cheetah Girls thrive as a consequence of Galleria's unwavering efforts.

8. Winifred Sanderson from Hocus Pocus

Winifred Sanderson from Hocus Pocus is undeniably an ENTJ character trait. Winifred has always been the smartest guy in the room, which is typical of the commander. She has effortlessly assumed the position of leader among her sisters, and she will not accept foolishness under any circumstances.
She is frequently spotted rolling her eyes at her "idiot" sisters' antics, but at the end of the day, she needs them to get by. She is the ultimate badass and the epitome of an ENTJ.

9. The Beast from Beauty And The Beast

The Beast from Beauty and the Beast is clearly an ENTJ. In contrast to Belle, who has her head in the clouds and is an idealist, The Beast has a more realistic attitude and may help Belle see things more clearly. He is open-minded enough to appreciate her worldview, no matter how diametrically opposed it is to his own.

He may appear cold and controlling at first, but as the two get to know each other more, Belle discovers he's actually rather nice and giving. It simply took him a little longer to show that part of himself.

10. Nala from The Lion King

Nala from The Lion King undoubtedly exemplifies all of the most classic qualities of the ENTJ personality type, which we're glad for since who knows what might happen at Pride Rock without her aggressive persona? Nala informs Simba that in order to serve as king and do his part, he must give up his carefree lifestyle.

ENTJs think that everyone has a function in life that must be performed with considerable effort. Simba may be hesitant at first, but Nala is able to steer him in the correct path so that the natural successor of the kingdom may finally rescue the day.

III. Other ENTJ fictional characters

1. Sauron from The Lord of the Rings

Sauron is often regarded as one of the most reviled fictional  ENTJ characters. Unlike most ENTJs, he wields his authority for nefarious purposes, and his motivations are far from pure. His preoccupation with dominance and control distorts his perspective, isolating him from the broader picture. 

He is a strategist and planner, which is characteristic of an ENTJ. The fact that someone is wicked and cruel does not imply that his behavior is chaotic. His well-crafted plot to conquer all of Middle-Earth. He employs his extensive understanding of magic to attain his objectives in a methodical manner. Although we are relieved that he did not succeed, we must admit that he was a heck of a fighter.

2. Anakin Skywalker from Star Wars

The majority of ENTJs are capable of devising effective answers to any challenge. This aspect of their personalities, when paired with their outgoing disposition, makes them exceptional leaders. That is exactly what happened to Anakin Skywalker. During the Clone Wars, he is a great general who intuitively upholds the Jedi Order heritage.

However, he, like many ENTJs, has powerful emotions that he is unsure how to deal with. This results in an incapacity to deal with his dark side, resulting in an unstable mental state. Because of his inability to question himself or the decisions he has made, he is one of the most heinous fictional villains.

3. Lord Voldemort from Harry Potter

Voldemort, like other ENTJs, is a person who takes action. He expresses himself through his actions rather than his words. On his quest to rule the globe, his ability to organize and control others served him well. His ENTJ traits are most evident in his intention to maintain his soul and, in effect, make him eternal. He demonstrated that he is a textbook example of ENTJ by creating the 8 Horcruxes, each carrying a bit of his soul. Despite the fact that the battle did not go as planned, he was on the verge of enslaving the whole wizarding world.

4. Barney Stinson from How I Met Your Mother

Barney would rather be remembered as a shallow-minded party animal whose highlight of the week is a hook-up with a female at the neighborhood pub. The truth, however, is lightyears distant. He's actually an emotional and intelligent person who developed a protective mechanism as a result of a traumatic experience. If anything awful happened to an ENTJ, they would respond in the same way. Because of their unwillingness to open out emotionally to others, they frequently have to cope with whatever they're going through alone. However, ENTJs (including Barney) are frequently stronger than they think.

5. Bernadette Rostenkowski from The Big Bang Theory

Bernadette initially appears while she is working with Penny at the Cheesecake Factory while pursuing her Ph.D. in microbiology. She's a petite, charming, and aspirational lady who knows precisely what she wants out of life. She's advancing her profession as a microbiologist, and she's clear about what she wants from her relationship with Howard. In the end, she gets her way in all aspects of her life. She not only became a great scientist, but she also persuaded Howard to leave his mother's house! Her capacity to prepare ahead of time and stick to her goals is a typical ENTJ trait.

I. The overview of ENTJ enneagram

When it comes to these personality types' great qualities, ENTJs are self-assured and enthusiastic. They not only believe in themselves, but they believe in themselves with revolutionary zeal and devotion. They are efficient and strong-willed, which gives them an extra push to achieve their goals and thus impress their followers.

Not sure what your personality type is? Take our MBTI test here.

ENTJs have such a significant affinity for the Enneagram types 8 and 3. Both extroverted thinking and the 8 type are defined by a strong desire to influence one's external environment in a way that benefits the user directly. Both extroverted thinking and the 3 type are characterized by a high level of ambition and personal success.

Note: The ENTJ personality type is commonly associated with the following enneagram types:

• ENTJ Enneagram Type 3

• ENTJ Enneagram Type 8

II. The ENTJ Enneagram with 9 Types

1. ENTJ Enneagram type 1

Enneagram 1 linked with ENTJ's Te-Ni makes them a reformer type; they have a flawless vision (Ni) of how things should be, know the proper way to do things, and are able to put a realistic action plan in place to attain this objective (Te). They are self-critical and achievement-driven.

ENTJ Enneagram type 1 people are efficient and organized, with a strong and sometimes unrealistic “perfect” vision of what they want to achieve in the real world through work or school, etc., and are more than interested in taking decisive action to make it happen, but may blame others if perfection is not attained (due to low Fi / 1s tendency to refuse to take responsibility when things go wrong).

Prone to strong moral beliefs, and may push away from tert-Se impulses for pleasure, new experiences, and so on, leaving the ENTJ feeling unbalanced, unhappy that their morals keep them from having fun, or jealous of freer spirits.

The ENTJ Enneagram type 1 inferior Fi is more developed than in other ENTJs, giving them a strong moral compass and a rigorous sense of right and wrong (enneagram 1), but also a greater ability to communicate their emotions (wing 2). This ENTJ is more expressive emotionally than the normal ENTJ Enneagram type 1.

There are more 1w2 persons since the 2 wing makes them more proud, sensitive to outside criticism, and ready to help others, as well as increases their drive to please. They are not as blatantly hostile or furious as the ordinary ENTJ.

2. ENTJ Enneagram Type 2

Enneagram 2 is most typically associated with feeling/nurturing types, and therefore not commonly found among N-Ts. It's most commonly associated with extroverts who test as MBTI Feelers, so ESFJ, ESFP, ENFJ, and ENFP, and also quite common with introverts who test as MBTI Feelers. (ISFJ, ISFP, INFJ, INFP).

3. ENTJ Enneagram type 3

A significant proportion of the ENTJ population chose 3 as their Enneagram type (Type 3 with a 2 wing: 60 percent ; Type 3 with a 4 wing: 40 percent ). This is an obvious relationship given that this type is likewise strongly associated with the ENTJ's lead function of extroverted thinking.

Type 3 ENTJs are obsessive about long-term objectives and strategies. This type, like their type 8 counterparts, aspires to positions of power in whatever line of employment they undertake.

Unlike the type 8, the ENTJ Enneagram type 3 views power as a tool rather than an end in itself. They want to go to the top because they have a strong inner compass that tells them their self-worth is determined by their achievements.

This kind of ENTJ may rely on their introverted intuition more than their type 8 counterparts. Instead of using Ni merely to manipulate their circumstances, they will consult their auxiliary function to develop long-term plans and optimize their thoughts and plans. As a result, this personality type is most comparable to the INTJ.

ENTJ Enneagram type 3 people are continually migrating away from emotions of insignificance and worthlessness and toward achievement - whatever success is defined by the culture or society in which they inhabit.

Extroverted Thinking deconstructs a process into its logical components and evaluates for logical coherence.

Extroverted Thinking Threes are naturally drawn to positions of leadership, particularly those involving the administration of others. Many ENTJ Enneagram type 3 individuals desire the image.

One may also claim that extraverts are more concerned with their appearance than their introverted counterparts. Myers-Briggs judgment (J) may also contribute to achievement-seeking, however ENTJs and ESTJs appear to be equally or more likely to test as Enneagram Eights.

4. ENTJ enneagram type 4

The Enneagram and the MBTI are extremely compatible, and you are a type 4 which ENTJ Enneagram type 4 is pretty uncommon. Fi is only a function, whereas the enneagram represents a mental state. Fi is frequently connected with type four because persons who use Fi are more inclined to slip into specific patterns of behavior. But an ENTJ may be type four just as easily because behavioral patterns are impacted by a variety of factors (including environment, gender, and pretty much everything else the mbti doesn't cover).

5. ENTJ Enneagram type 5

Type 5s are recognized for their eagerness to learn. The observer in the ENTJ Enneagram type 5 has the basic fear of being worthless, powerless, or incompetent, and the underlying desire to be capable and competent.

The antisocial behavior might be caused by something other than the operational TeNi. Because the enneagram is based on our anxieties rather than our cognitive processes, it is conceivable to be a 5 and an ENTJ, although it is quite unusual. This is most likely an ENTJ with little social circles or a preference for exclusionary hobbies.

ETJs are pragmatic, realistic, determined, socially conscious, motivated, moralistic, and ready to make a difference.

6. ENTJ Enneagram type 6

An ENTJ Enneagram type 6 frequently creates their own system to feel safe, or distrusts authority other than their own; He/she uses Se to deal with problems as they occur, but has a negative outlook on life and always prepares for the worst; As a result, they may be indecisive and self-doubting, have inferior Fi issues of feeling anxious in their relationships, which combines with Ni ‘reservation'

7. ENTJ Enneagram type 7

Extroverted Thinking deconstructs a process into its logical components and evaluates for logical coherence.

As a result, ENTJ Enneagram type 7 enjoys toying with concepts in a rational manner. ExTJ Sevens may want to take on more of a "consultant" position, dropping in for a short amount of time to do things their way, and then moving on to their next enterprise.

People with the ENTJ Enneagram type 7 are upbeat and optimistic about the future, frequently working to realize a personal vision that will make the world a better place.

They are also prone to overindulgences through tert-Se, which when combined with 7 may make them restless and inclined to abandon projects or other people who have a more ‘dour' view of reality; additionally, they will find ways to re-frame reality to make them feel good about themselves, ignoring inferior Fi in the process. Good at innovating, yet often frustrated if their concept does not come to fruition.

8. ENTJ Enneagram type 8

A sizable proportion of ENTJs selected 8 as their Enneagram type (Type 8 with a 7 wing: 90 percent ; Type 8 with a 9 wing: 10 percent ). This association is not surprising given that the Enneagram type 8 is associated with the ENTJ's primary function of extroverted thinking.

Type 8 ENTJs are extremely ambitious and like being at the top of their game – but this mindset extends beyond the job. They will feel most at ease in positions of authority, not only at work but also in relationships and social situations. They are ready to demonstrate their authority and assert themselves at all times, making them a little more aggressive variation of the ENTJ personality.

Though this type exudes an intimidating aura – and they enjoy it that way – they are also generous and hardworking caregivers for those close to them. This personality type takes pleasure in their capacity to care for oneself and their loved ones on their own.

The type 8 ENTJ feels that their self-worth is based on their capacity to maintain control over their surroundings. They are continuously striving toward autonomy and away from any sense of being controlled or influenced from without.

Because their concentration is mostly on their extroverted thinking, the type 8 ENTJ personality is most comparable to the ESTJ personality.

This sort of enneagram, on the other hand, has difficulties with their emotions, particularly with emotion management. They are not at ease expressing their feelings to others, maybe because to fear - they do not want to be dominated or influenced by others. As a result, ENTJ Enneagram type 8 will not always communicate their feelings about someone or something and will keep their feelings to themselves.

9. ENTJ Enneagram type 9

In terms of peacemaking on a large scale, ENTJ Enneagram type 9 may channel their business mentality and future planning talents toward global or national objectives.

Their priorities would be immediate advantages as well as long-term success. Se function would make them more decisive and opportunistic, but also much more prone to avoid dealing with anything 9 does not want to deal with via excess.

Inferior Fi, like the ESTJ-9, would feel uneasy about their emotional capacity to connect with others, and would lack the ability to ‘read' people with Fe, whereas Ni would give more insight into others' actual motivations.

3. Napoleon Bonaparte

Despite his small height, Napoleon Bonaparte wields enormous power, which is a genuine reflection of his ENTJ personality. He recruited hundreds of soldiers to fight beside him on the battlefield, where he won some and lost some battles. He was little more than an outcast until he became Emperor of France. But, with a vision of an independent Corsica, his native nation, burning hot and powerful in his heart, he studied about military tactics and plans, soaking it up like a sponge. It was his unwavering dedication that propelled him to prominence as a leader. On the battlefield, the Duke of Wellington believed Bonaparte was worth forty thousand soldiers. This eliminates any doubt that he is an ENTJ.

4. Julius Caesar

Julius Caesar, the Roman commander and statesman, is one of the most significant ENTJ renowned persons in ancient Roman politics. Caesar profoundly and irrevocably altered the trajectory of Greco-Roman history.

George tried his hand at directing because, like all ENTJs, he enjoys controlling and setting goals. He says that directing is more satisfying and offers him more control than performing.

This characteristic is particularly common among ENTJ famous people, and it is shown in his choice of roles and movies.

2. Cooking 

This personality type is aware of what attracts them and will pursue it. If a food tastes nice, it is not enough for them; their objective is to make that dish taste divine.

From cooking to just being a pleasant pastime, they can probably try more and go one step further, create an even greater improvement, open up multiple food chains, and ensure that those food chains become better than other food chains, or at least competitive to other food chains.

Not only will they ensure, via the power of networking and surveys, that they build the finest restaurant ever, but also the best-tasting food ever. They may follow a recipe, but if it does not provide the intended results, they will alter it to the point where it is a whole new recipe.

3. Martial Arts

If they enjoy teaching, they can educate street children; if they enjoy sports, they can coach a community sports team; and if they enjoy cooking, they can prepare for someone in need - all of these activities serve their community.

5. Crafting 

Crocheting, sewing, knitting, embroidery, jewelry making, card making, candle making, chocolate making, soap making, and baking and decorating cakes are all examples of crafts. There is definitely a one-of-a-kind creative experience for people of all ages and interests.
Crafting is a fantastic brain workout that allows us to look and feel younger than our years. It may even develop into a mindfulness practice that morphs into a form of meditation, which has a good influence on their health and well-being.

6. Reading

Because ENTJs like learning new things, they may enjoy reading. The problem is that the ENTJ is frequently quite busy and focused on the future, which does not necessarily allow much time for reading. They will frequently love technical reading and may find themselves reading something in order to prevent others from using it against them. They aspire to be capable and powerful persons, and they are intensely focused on achieving a high degree of comprehension. The notion of reading appeals to ENTJs, and they like learning new things.

Here are 2 books that ENTJs might love: Alanna: The First Adventure by Tamora Pierce and Legendborn by Tracy Deonn. People of this type are natural-born leaders and they love a good challenge because they know it’s one of the best ways to grow. But they are also quick witted and total problem solvers. Alanna and Bree are their kindred spirits and they will totally see themselves in them.

II. ENTJ Interests

1. Play Competitive Sports

ENTJs tend to be long-term planners, thus they will generally pursue a competitive activity as a pastime, such as boxing or jogging. They will set even greater goals for themselves by engaging in such pastimes.

Competitive sports, leadership positions in community groups, and attending athletic events or social gatherings are all common pastimes among ENTJs. Because ENTJs are so focused on their careers, they may have little interests outside of work, or they may participate in recreational activities that help them advance in their careers.

2. Play Strategy Games

ENTJs like learning. However, continual learning is not a good concept. Instead, it's a good idea to look into mind-expanding ENTJ hobbies like board games.

ENTJs are often optimistic and self-driven; otherwise, they would not strive to achieve their goals in the first place. ENTJs are typically forceful, confident, and competitive in order to attain their goals and demonstrate to others that they should be in control. They are unlikely to take things personally and are prepared to adjust if it is necessary to change the game.

The board games often chosen by Commanders are: Stratego, Apples to Apples, Chess, Three-Way Chess, Risk, Dungeons & Dragons, Dominoes, Cards Against Humanity, Axis & Allies, Blockus, Mastermind, Cosmic Encounter, Agricola, Pandemic, Monopoly...

3. Kayaking 

Kayaking has some of the same sensory attractions as canoeing, but it appears to be equally appealing to certain Intuitive types. Intuitive people appear to be drawn to what is fresh, strange, and non-traditional. This combination of feeling pleasure in kayak operating and kayaking itself being extremely amazing and sort of upmarket results in this mixed bag of Sensing-Intuitive devotees.

Kayakers frequently travel solo, but this means that each person has complete control over his or her craft, something ENTJs like. As the squad's captain, they may lead their team to greater heights while still putting in a good exercise. 

Kayakers, on the other hand, may and do travel in groups; in general, bigger groups than canoeists. Except when single canoeing, the requirement to create groups of two appears to keep trips smaller and more personal. Kayaking, as opposed to canoeing, is one of the excellent ENTJ hobbies.

4. Cosplaying

hobbies, and discover people who are as committed as they are. They could even be able to organize a whole event for cosplayers in their town one day, or if they are very excellent, they might be able to convert their hobby into a side job and get paid to cosplay.

5. Treasure hunting

This personality type excels at managing chaotic conditions and reducing difficult activities down into methodical phases. ESTJs are experts of logistics, knowing where to put people and how to employ them to achieve goals as efficiently as possible.

ENTJs are strategic and mobilizing, identifying long-term goals and putting procedures in place to achieve them. They must consider the larger picture and speculate on where gems could be hidden. As a result, treasure seeking is one of the most fascinating ENTJ hobbies.

6. Motorcycling 

Motorcycling provides a distinct and rewarding sensation that elicits some sort of enthusiasm, especially for those riders who find it intriguing and enjoyable. With a free-spirited nature like ENTJ, this will be an intriguing hobby to add to the list of ENTJ hobbies and interests. 

Consider the special adrenaline rush that ENTJ may experience from riding, every part of the ride including maneuverability, speed, and efficacy that makes motorcycling a popular activity for both students and other persons of all ages.

7. Mindfulness and Meditation

Being totally present and nonjudgmentally is what mindfulness entails. It raises their awareness of their emotions, bodily feelings, and ideas, as well as their surroundings. The more they practice mindfulness, the better they will become. Because they are more open-minded and imaginative than others, the ENTJ Myers-Briggs personality type may appreciate spiritual meditation.

ENTJ Enneagram

ENTJ-A

ENFJ-A personality sees opportunity in every obstacle they might come across. They can't get easily derailed by unforeseen things.

I. ENTJ-A meaning

The assertive commander is ENTJ-A. They conduct their lives assertively and directly. As a result, they appear to others to be more opinionated and vocal.

According to studies, the ENTJ-A and ENTJ-T share the same cognitive functions. The primary distinction between the two types is how they tackle circumstances and challenges.

Assertive ENTJs are self-assured, believe in themselves, and are unaffected by stressful situations.

Assertive ENTJs or ENTJ-As frequently find that tension or pressure allows them to focus and accomplish better. When things go tough, they don't let it affect their self-esteem or drive to pursue their goals. Negative opinions usually have little effect on their way of thinking.

ENTJs who test as the A personality type tend to be more self-assured and secure in their skills. ENTJs may be prone to this since they are naturally more aggressive people who strive to minimize outside stress as much as possible.

ENTJs aren't easily influenced by other people's ideas, which might assist them to lean more toward the aggressive personality type than the tumultuous type.

Are you an ENTJ-A? Figure out by doing this test!

II. ENTJ-A Characteristics

1. Outward Confidence

The ENTJ-A's confidence is perhaps the first thing we notice about them. It is evident in their behaviors and judgments. Most people who work close to the ENTJ-A are frightened by their self-assurance.

Their self-assurance originates from their idea that they are capable of accomplishing everything they set their minds to. ENTJ-As are frequently a formidable force to be reckoned with.

All ENTJs are typically self-assured. However, Assertive ENTJs are far more confident in their skills than Turbulent ENTJs. They are concentrated, goal-oriented, and self-assured. Assertive ENTJs do not have a negative self-perception and rarely feel embarrassed of themselves.

Commanders also show their identity distinctions in ways that go beyond the social world. One of the most noticeable differences across the variations is their sense – and display – of confidence. Assertive Commanders have more confidence, both naturally and in response to external circumstances.

Because they spend so much time preparing for things and increasing their inner knowledge, ENTJ-As are typically naturally confident individuals. This allows them to be more competent of knowing how to handle a problem since they are comfortable asserting themselves even when others are unsure of what to do next. ENTJs are natural leaders for a reason; they recognize when they are far better equipped and capable of dealing with a scenario or problem that is in front of them.

One factor that may cause the ENTJ to test as an A type personality is their feeling of self-confidence. They approach problems with a confident and outwardly calm manner. They are self-assured in their own talents and capabilities and are not hesitant to take control as a result. The ENTJ's inherent ability to go into a situation and address the difficulties at hand contributes to their appearance of calm and collectedness.

Even if the ENTJ is internally concerned about something, they appear to be at ease in their own skin. They are acutely aware of their own abilities and expertise, and this self-awareness allows them to achieve things that others do not.

2. Motivation

ENTJ-As are frequently more driven than other ENTJs. Most ENTJ-As are motivated inside rather than outside. As a result, it is long-lasting. ENTJ-As can frequently tap into this desire. This keeps them going even when they confront a slew of obstacles.

The Assertive Commander personality finds opportunity in every challenge they face. They cannot be readily derailed by unanticipated occurrences and must quickly change their plans in response to the new circumstances.

They are bright and funny, and their minds are always working to find a way out.

While having a lot of motivation might help you overcome obstacles and achieve more, it can also take you on a wild goose chase.

As a result, ENTJ-As must ensure that their motivation is not centered on unachievable projects.

3. Decisive-making

ENTJ-As make quick decisions. They also make these judgments quickly. This means that ENTJ-As frequently spot and seize chances while others ponder them. This might put them in excellent positions later in life. It can, however, make them more irresponsible and impulsive. As with other traits today, the aggressive ENTJ must strike a balance.

ENTJ-As want to take leadership, which is shown in their more forceful personality. They are willing to enter into a crisis and can naturally and unapologetically assume the role of leader. They are rarely frightened of how to handle situations since they believe they are capable of completing the task. People with ENTJ-A type have a strong will and will go for what they desire without hesitation.

Some people may be afraid of the outcomes, which prevents them from taking action. ENTJ-As are not scared to take action; instead, they rely on their own expertise and experiences to guarantee that they can manage almost anything that comes their way.

ENTJs are naturally aggressive and do not shy away from taking on leadership responsibilities. It is about being confident in oneself and having faith in one's own inner talents for them. This is less due to a lack of concern and more to the fact that they know they can get things done better than other people. This is why ENTJs may appear to be type A personalities, but they have far more complicated traits that cause them to tilt in both directions.

4. Dealing with Stress

While most individuals suffer with stress, ENTJ-A is an exception. They are among the people who flourish under stress and strain. When faced with stress, they are also less prone to become disheartened or distracted.

As a result, ENTJ-A people are excellent candidates for high-pressure professions or those with short deadlines. They are constantly eager to take on new challenges.

Assertive commanders are significantly more likely to manage their stress. Despite the sensations and ideas that stress brings, they have a better time pushing forward in a firm Commander manner.

Assertive commanders are more prone to believe that stress improves their ability to focus or execute. This personality type's two variations can be aggressive and active. However, in the case of Assertive people, stress is more likely to fuel their motivation – and maybe even boost their vitality.

5. Unfeeling attitude

ENTJs, in general, struggle with expressing their feelings. The ENTJ-A on the other hand takes a negative turn. They are extremely insensitive to how others feel and may find it difficult to express their own emotions.

This is exacerbated by their belief that emotions make you susceptible or weak. As a result, most ENTJ-A people may not develop this aspect of their personality until later in life. Some people never get around to developing it.

6. Determination

People with the ENTJ-A personality type are highly brave. Their bravery is evident in almost every aspect of their existence. They also have strong opinions. As a result, people frequently put a lot of pressure on their beliefs and feelings. Because of this, they might be scary to other personality types who are not as aggressive as the ENTJ.

While ENTJ-As are concerned with doing things well, they do not frequently seek advice from others. If someone they don't know attempts to critique the ENTJ-A decisions, it seldom has an impact on them. They don't really need other people's approval to believe in themselves and their skills. They are considerably more easygoing about these things than other types and do not require the approval of others.

Allowing outside stressors or individuals to impact them and their behaviors might feel like a waste of energy for the ENTJ-A. Instead, they rely on their own inner strength and wisdom to keep going forward in the desired path.

The ENTJ-A must have faith in themselves since they recognize that not everyone has their best interests at heart. They are self-sufficient individuals that seek outcomes in order to have a better knowledge of the issue and what they are capable of.

7. Self-image

The way Commander personalities see themselves physically is one sign of confidence. Assertive Commanders are less likely to be self-conscious about their appearance and are somewhat more likely to think of themselves as beautiful. Furthermore, their judgment of how they look is less likely to alter frequently.

8. Emotion

When it comes to larger emotions, ENTJ-A Commanders are likely to have better difficulty controlling their emotions. Identity traits that make people less susceptible to the impacts of stress can also reduce the impact of unpleasant emotions. This is crucial because commanders value their ability to be impartial and decisive. The Assertive personality attribute can help this personality type's clarity of thought.

Even under difficult circumstances, ENTJ-A people have an optimistic outlook. They do not avoid controversy and attempt to convey a point even when conversations are heated, typically without being frightened.

Assertive Commanders are more likely to be able to let go of irritated thoughts or sentiments that may develop as a result of such events. These people are considerably less likely to say that they lie awake at night thinking about what bothers them during the day.

The Assertive Commander personality has great emotional control, allowing them to handle even the most challenging situations with ease.

However, they occasionally fail to see that others will require more time and effort to get the same result, thus they tend to look down on those who require more stimulation or emotional reaction.

III. Career Choices for ENTJ-A

The greatest jobs for ENTJ-As people are ones in which they have a managerial role or operate their own firm. This indicates that ENTJ-A individuals are excellent at leading others toward a common objective. They may be extremely inventive and imaginative. Because of their work ethic and drive, others are frequently motivated to follow them. As a result, they make excellent leaders. 

Individuals with the Assertive Commander personality type are dominating, analytical, self-aware, and structured. These folks devote a significant amount of time and energy to project preparation and execution without becoming exhausted.

They are good at distributing work and responsibilities, they understand how to deal with people in their business environment, and they are charismatic enough to rally masses for a greater cause.

Assertive ENTJs are not easily affected by emotions and do not become overly agitated in the event of an unexpected turn of events.

Best Careers for ENTJ-A:

• Law enforcement officer;

• Sales representative;

• CEO;

• Executive director;

• Entrepreneur;

• Lawyer;

• Military Officer.

ENTJ Strengths & Weaknesses

ENTJ-T

ENTJ-T

ENTJ-T has been nicknamed as Turbulent Commander', as they are often found in management positions. Are you an ENTJ-T personality type? 

I. ENTJ-T meaning

The ENTJ-T personality type is the tumultuous ENTJ. They are less aggressive and more laid back than other ENTJs. This mentality is reflected in their way of life and decisions.

There are no variations in cognitive processes between ENTJ-A and ENTJ-T. The sole distinction between these sub-types is how they tackle problems. Turbulent Commanders are more emotional, less self-assured, and easily distracted by stress.

Turbulent Commanders, ENTJ-T, struggle to deal with difficult situations. Outside influences or unpleasant experiences stick with ENTJ-Ts, and they are prone to being concerned about offending others with their behavior. The way tumultuous types care for others correlates to their capacity to appreciate displaying affection in their relationships.

II. ENTJ-T Characteristics

1. Introverted Extroverts

Extroverts, in general, are ENTJs. An ENTJ-T, on the other hand, will always be an introverted extrovert. Most individuals who are unfamiliar with the ENTJ-T may mistake them for an INTJ. ENTJ-Ts place a higher emphasis on alone time than other ENTJs.
While most people see ENTJs as straightforward extroverts, this is frequently only the case on the surface. ENTJ-Ts are complicated individuals with numerous facets to their personalities and actions. They are extroverts, but there is much more to them than that.

Many ENTJ-T people might look more introverted at times and find themselves gravitating toward such behavior. This is sometimes motivated by a desire to be independent, and other times by the belief that they can handle problems better on their own. In the proper context and setting, ENTJ-T individuals can be among of the most introverted of the extroverted types.

2. Emotions

ENTJ-A people aren't particularly adept with emotions. In fact, many have a difficult time understanding it at all. As a result, while making significant judgments, ENTJs typically do not consider emotions or feelings to be relevant.

This is not the case with the ENTJ-T. ENTJ-Ts are more prone to experience emotions. These emotions are frequently unfavorable. As a result, whether pursuing a project or deciding on the next course of action, ENTJ-Ts frequently doubt themselves.

Emotional regulation is crucial for all ENTJs, and they are well-known for their inability to recognize and express emotions.

The Turbulent Commander personality, on the other hand, is more open to emotions, and these people make a real attempt to respond to the needs of others. This also implies that they are more prone to express their emotions and be influenced by them.

Most Commanders appreciate and respect emotional control in themselves and in others. However, the way Identity influences how different personality types are impacted by emotion is more than just sensitive to unpleasant consequences or sensations. It can also influence how powerfully, openly, and easily Commanders feel and express a wide range of emotions.

Turbulent Commanders, also known as ENTJ-T people, are more open to “softer” or more pleasant sentiments than their Assertive counterparts. They are also less prone to experience darker emotions. This improves their self-esteem. Not only is their mental condition more stable, but they are typically more forgiving of themselves.

They are more receptive to experiencing emotions, which makes them more vulnerable to acquiring unpleasant sensations. They may suffer tension and worry to the extent that it impairs their cognition and may cause them to make poor judgments.

As previously said, ENTJs are not the best when it comes to dealing with emotions. ENTJ-Ts, on the other hand, are more likely to be thoughtful and sensitive than ENTJ-As. As a result, they may have fewer problems approaching others or coping with emotional outbursts. This is due to ENTJ-Ts being more in tune with their feelings than other ENTJs.

This may be both beneficial and terrible. People that are ENTJ-Ts are more likely to comprehend others. They are, on the other hand, more sensitive to negative emotions.

3. Being Affectionate and Charismatic

Enchanting charm is shared by all ENTJs, but Turbulent Commanders add a special twist by including love into their relationships.
They are inherently charming individuals that excel at entertaining others. ENTJ-Ts know how to obtain what they want and may employ a more threatening style to keep others under their control.

Ultimately, ENTJ-T individuals are pleasant people with a great sense of humor. They are good communicators, even with strangers if they believe it is essential. Their charming personalities frequently assist the ENTJ-T in navigating a wide range of social and professional settings. When engaging with others, their emotional openness helps them look compassionate and engaged.

4. Dealing with Stress

ENTJ-Ts have a difficult time dealing with stress. When they are in stressful situations or under a lot of strain, their ability to manage difficult jobs suffers.

As a result, they may become quickly annoyed or lash out aggressively. Simply said, dealing with stress or pressure is not their strong suit.

Turbulent Commanders have a considerably more difficult time preventing even mildly stressful situations from influencing them. Commanders, on the other hand, view themselves as being on top of things and capable of rising to meet life's difficulties. So, while Turbulent individuals of this personality type may be more sensitive to stress, it does not always hinder their progress in life.

When stress causes unfavorable views, it may cause someone to change their approach slightly. Following a setback, ENTJ-T Commanders are more prone to feel gloomy, which might influence their decision-making process. Notably, they are more prone than their Assertive counterparts to take precautions to minimize stress or to seek a break to regroup.

5. Decisive-making

ENTJs, in general, are known for being super decisive. That is one reason why they seem to achieve a lot of things in a short period.

However, ENTJ-Ts will not be as decisive. They are more likely to consider not just the facts but how it affects people and other external factors.

This can be a good thing as ENTJ-Ts will often make a decision that is accepted by everyone.

6. Self-Image and Self Confidence

We can't argue that Turbulent ENTJs lack self-confidence, but they are more prone to doubt their judgments and feel uncomfortable about their actions when compared to Assertive peers. This is also evident in how they perceive their physical appearance. If you want to learn more about their advantages and flows, make sure to read our in-depth study of ENTJ's advantages and flows.

ENTJ-Ts are more prone to be concerned with their self-image. As a result, individuals may pay greater attention to how they dress or how others perceive them.

As a result, while ENTJs are not always people-pleasers, ENTJ-T people are more prone to this issue.

This disparity in confidence has far-reaching consequences in life, including how quickly Commanders recover from unfavorable events and how hopeful they are. Both personality types are bold, but Turbulent Commanders are more prone to worry and are less likely to retain drive in the face of adversity.

7. Communication

If you have difficulty expressing yourself, you may struggle with this kind.

In the end, ENTJ-Ts are still ENTJs. As a result, they will choose a straightforward communication approach. They're also not fond of folks who beat about the bush.

Individuals with the ENTJ-T personality type respect and uphold the acceptable etiquette and order in their social group. They can come across as demanding at times, but not usually when it comes to trivial concerns. ENTJ-Ts are eager to communicate and learn about the opinions of people around them.

At the same time, they frequently attempt to guarantee that their point of view is accepted as the correct one. Their objective, business-like, confident, and at times dictatorial talking style might be irritating to individuals who are more sensitive or result in counteraction from others who are also prone to leadership.

When communication needs finer soft skills, such as being highly tactful or very patient, or includes the finer sentiments of the soul, ENTJ-T may struggle. This might be a deal-breaker for ISFJ and ISFP personality types that struggle to comprehend their ideas at times. Because of their communication talents, ENTJ-Ts are excellent diplomats. While this is correct, it does not imply that they lack the ENTJ's power characteristics.

ENTJ-Ts, on the other hand, appear to have a lot of inner or quiet strength. However, most ENTJ-Ts prioritize keeping the peace over anything else. As a result, you may anticipate them to be more calmer and less pushy.

8. Curiosity About People

Because they care more about how people feel, ENTJ-T Commanders rarely give the impression of being cold and harsh.

Their intuitive nature appears to be more developed when compared to Assertive peers since they are more focused on what is going on inside other people's heads.

This assists them in understanding the source of any possible issues and in finding a method to flourish in challenging conditions.

III. Career Choices

ENTJ-Ts excel in management positions. They typically make better leaders than their competitors because they are more polite than other ENTJs. The majority of individuals that work with ENTJ-Ts are typically motivated by them. An ENTJ-ideal T's role is one that allows them to be creative while yet maintaining control of the environment.

Jobs for ENTJs demand complete attention, organisation, leadership, and discipline. There are several professional options that are ideal for the Commander personality; yet, certain occupations may be a better fit for Turbulent types.

Turbulent ENTJs are encouraged to search for employment that offers less stress and more communication because of their more open attitude and inclination to feel things more emotionally.

Best Career Options for ENTJ-T:

• Entrepreneur;

• Executive director;

• HR manager;

• Financial Manager;

• Financial Analyst;

• Writer.

• ENTJ MBTI types may struggle in love relationships for the following reasons: 

It is difficult for ENTJs to be sensitive in the company of their partner. They prefer to keep their emotions to themselves, which can be annoying for a mate who craves emotional connection. ENTJs should use this time to reconnect with themselves and their partners by articulating their emotions more freely.

III. ENTJ compatibility relationship with all types

1. ENTJ compatibility with personalities similar to them

People of the following personality types (INTJ, ESTJ, ENTP, ENTJ) are more likely than others to share the ENTJ's values, interests, and overall outlook on life. They may not always agree on everything, and there's no guarantee they'll always get along, but they're more likely to have a good connection and a lot in common.

• ENTJ Compatibility with INTJ

Without a doubt, INTJ is one of the best ENTJ Compatibility in a love relationship. The INTJ, like the ENTJ, is loyal and loving in a relationship while being autonomous when necessary. They have a lot in common, with the primary difference being that one is introverted and the other is extroverted, thus their personalities compliment each other extremely well and they get along well in most situations.

Despite their similarities, there are certain distinctions that might cause problems in an INTJ and ENTJ relationship. An ENTJ, for example, will be considerably more confident socially than an INTJ, therefore resentments may develop.

• ENTJ Compatibility with ESTJ

In ENTJ Compatibility, ENTJ and ESTJ frequently adopt similar approaches: they are loyal, but neither is especially emotionally open or attentive to their partner's feelings. This may not be a problem because these two kinds share many values. However, because ESTJs enjoy structure and may be upset by ENTJs' spontaneity, clear communication is essential in this partnership.

• ENTJ Compatibility with ENTP

When ENTJs and ENTPs get to know each other, they discover certain shared themes. When getting to know an ENTP, as an ENTJ, you should bear these concerns in mind. Because of their shared interest in logical reasoning and theoretical concepts, these two are ideal for never-ending discussions, since ENTJ is unlikely to take any statements seriously.

Values are deeply personal, and while an ENTJ and an ENTP can find similar ground, there will always be some variances in what you cherish. Understanding how your ENTJ attitude to values differs from that of your ENTP counterpart can help you recognize and overcome your differences.

• ENTJ Compatibility with ENTJ

These sorts of relationships are typically harmonious for obvious reasons of similarity. Finally, it stands to reason that you will cross paths with someone almost identical to you. Because interactions between two identical types may help you see your own strengths and flaws in a new light, the result of these relationships is usually self-development.

2. ENTJ compatibility with personalities that are slightly different from theirs

People of the following personality types (ISTJ, INTP, ENFP, ENFJ) are likely to find the ENTJ to be similar in personality, but with certain important distinctions that may make them appear exceptionally fascinating. People of these sorts may be very fascinating and appealing to the ENTJ. Relationships between ENTJs and these personalities should have a fair mix of similarities and opportunities to challenge one another.

• ENTJ Compatibility with ISTJ

Both types provide thorough, logical thought and goal-oriented planning to their workplaces. ISTJs, on the other hand, are quiet and attentive, whilst ENTJs are innovative and charming. ISTJs can assist ENTJs in considering crucial details, whereas ENTJs can assist ISTJs in seeing the broader picture. ISTJs may encourage ENTJs by spending time getting to know them one-on-one through discussion and activities. Allowing ISTJs to work alone on projects can help ENTJs encourage them.

• ENTJ Compatibility with INTP

An ENTJ's ideal mate is an INTP. An INTP spouse will recognize and promote the ENTJ's need for intellectual stimulation and progress. The couple's talents and limitations compliment each other, and as long as there is a firm foundation of mutual respect, the couple should do well together.

Furthermore, INTP would willingly delegate leadership and direction to their ENTJ partner. If they both strive to put themselves in the other person's shoes, they are more likely to stay on the same page in their partnership.

•  ENTJ Compatibility with ENFP

 Despite the fact that these two personality types have many variances, the ENTJ – ENFP combination is near to perfect in principle. Both ENTJs and ENFPs have intuitive personalities and the same judgment functions: extroverted thinking (Te) and introverted feeling (Fi) (ENTJ: Te Ni Se Fi, ENFP: Ne Fi Te Si). Even if these functions have distinct priorities (for example, dominant Te for ENTJ and tertiary Te for ENFP), these personalities will most likely believe they are on "the same side."

• ENTJ Compatibility with ENFJ

ENTJs who do not make an effort to be aware of others, the importance of their feelings and ideas, may find themselves in an unequal relationship or real communication will not occur, which is why most people do not think ENFJ and ENTJ are compatible.

3. ENTJ compatibility with complementary personalities

ENTJs may not experience an initial connection with persons of the following personality types: ISTP, INFJ, ESTP, ESFJ, but as they get to know each other, they'll discover they have some essential things in common as well as some things to teach each other. Although persons of these kinds may not first appeal to the ENTJ, their interactions have a lot of potentials to complement and learn from one another.

• ENTJ Compatibility with ISTP

Aside from the INTP personality type, which is an optimal match for the ENTJ personality type, the ISTP personality type is also a suitable fit due to their introverted thinking function. There is more than enough room for ISTP and ENTJ colleagues to have fun and benefit from one another.

Communication between any two people may be difficult, and communication between ENTJ and ISTP personality types is no exception. You can learn how to achieve an agreement more quickly if you are aware of the difficulties that frequently occur when ENTJs and ISTPs interact.

• ENTJ Compatibility with INFJ

INFJs are excellent advisers to ENTJs. INFJs have the social sensitivity required to help ENTJs keep a strategic distance from workplace difficulties that may arise as a result of poor decisions. The INFJ acts as effective support by complementing the ENTJ in this manner.

• ENTJ Compatibility with ESTP

ENTJs and ESTPs are both Extroverted, Thinking personalities, which means they love to spend time with others and make judgments based on reasoning. ENTJs, on the other hand, like to think about the future and plan ahead, whilst ESTPs believe in the present and look for new chances. ENTJs should avoid scheduling meetings with ESTPs too long in advance, while ESTPs should arrange their ideas and communicate openly with ENTJs.

Both ENTJs and ESTPs are charming profound thinkers. ENTJs can assist ESTPs in achieving professional goals, whereas ESTPs can assist ENTJs in dealing with unforeseen difficulties.

• ENTJ Compatibility with ESFJ

If they learnt from each other's strengths, this duo might be a great match. ESFJs may learn from ENTJs to be more future-oriented and to handle problems/criticism with greater objectivity. ESFJs could teach ENTJs how to handle social situations more sensitively.

Because they both like talking, they may strive to outdo one other in terms of air time when discussing. In order to be heard, they may out-talk one other rather than listen.

4. ENTJ compatibility with opposing personalities

ISFPs, ISFJs, INFPs, and ESFPs have the most potential for personality clashes and conflict with the ENTJ, but also the most chances for growth. Because these types have fundamentally different beliefs and motives than ENTJs, it may appear hard to communicate at first. However, since they are so unlike, their strengths are the ENTJ's shortcomings, and if they can form a connection, they may learn a great deal from each other.

• ENTJ Compatibility with ISFP

ENTJs often understand INFPs better than ISFPs, while an ISFP would be more likely to get along with an ESTJ or ISTJ than with an ENTJ. The ISFP will be drawn to the ENTJ right away since they are polar opposites in every way. The ENTJ's humorous charm delights the ISFP, while the ISFP appreciates the ENTJ's clear, warm personality. If an ENTJ communicates in an imprecise manner, problems may emerge.

• ENTJ Compatibility with ISFJ

Because these two kinds are so dissimilar, they have a lot of potential to assist each other flourish. The ISFJ sees in the ENTJ someone who is authoritative, decisive, visionary, and competitive. The ENTJ sees someone who is detail-oriented, trustworthy, down-to-earth, and compassionate in the ISFJ.

Because these two personalities are so unlike, they may not be attracted to each other right away.

• ENTJ Compatibility with INFP

INFPs and ENTJs have one thing in common that makes conversation vibrant from the start: intuition. They believe and comprehend what they observe through patterns, sensations, and abstract mental notions.

INFPs, on the other hand, are very careful with their words and are acutely aware of their impact. Because the INFP is highly sensitive and prone to taking things personally, the ENTJ's loud, straightforward personality can be uncomfortable and give them a great deal of discomfort. The ENTJ may also believe that the INFP is excessively sensitive and struggles with understanding how to speak in a non-offensive manner.

• ENTJ Compatibility with ESFP

ESFPs will struggle with ENTJs' obstinate planning, but either can provide balance to the partnership. ENTJs are more likely to evaluate logical arguments, whilst ESFPs are more likely to analyze the emotional impact of a scenario. When ESFPs express themselves, ENTJs should listen carefully, while ESFPs should avoid using emotive language or forcing ENTJs to be vulnerable.

IV. Conclusion

Those with ENTJ qualities may be curious about how their personality traits affect their relationships. Understanding how your inherent qualities affect relationship choices might assist you in cultivating healthy and meaningful personal connections.

The ENTJ personality type (also known as The Commander) is the most determined and ambitious of the MBTI personality types. This personality type is combative, opinionated, and aggressive. With their linguistic expressiveness, ENTJs like debating and are extreme extroverts who thrive in social situations. Because they are typically pleasant and approachable, people are naturally drawn to these captivating and appealing individuals.

In their personal lives, ENTJs are devoted to their loved ones. However, it might be difficult for individuals to open up and convey their feelings. They may appear indifferent, although this is not always the case. They are forthright and straightforward, which may be misconstrued as arrogance. ENTJs trust individuals who pause and think rationally since they see obvious patterns in their brains and want others to see them as well.

Understanding ENTJ strengths and weaknesses is a critical step toward self-discovery and progress. To find out where we fit best, we must first understand more about our own inner ENTJ strengths and weaknesses. Dive into those flaws might be unsettling at times since learning about the things we could be doing better isn't always a pleasant experience. It should not be about comparing oneself to others, but about learning more about what comes easily to each individual.

I. ENTJ Strengths

Individuals of this kind, like all others, have ENTJ strengths and weaknesses. ENTJs would be their best selves if they recognized and worked on their flaws while appreciating their strengths.
