ENTJ Profile - Extraverted iNtuitive Thinking Judging
"I don't care to sit by the window on an airplane. If I
can't control it, why look?"
ENTJs have a natural tendency to marshall and direct. This
may be expressed with the charm and finesse of a world
leader or with the insensitivity of a cult leader. The ENTJ
requires little encouragement to make a plan. One ENTJ put
it this way... "I make these little plans that really don't
have any importance to anyone else, and then feel compelled
to carry them out." While "compelled" may not describe ENTJs
as a group, nevertheless the bent to plan creatively and to
make those plans realiity is a common theme for NJ types.
ENTJs are often "larger than life" in describing their
projects or proposals. This ability may be expressed as
salesmanship, story-telling facility or stand-up comedy. In
combination with the natural propensity for filibuster, our
hero can make it very difficult for the customer to decline.
TRADEMARK: -- "I'm really sorry you have to die." (I
realize this is an overstatement. However, most Fs and other
gentle souls usually chuckle knowingly at this description.)
ENTJs are decisive. They see what needs to be done, and
frequently assign roles to their fellows. Few other types
can equal their ability to remain resolute in conflict,
sending the valiant (and often leading the charge) into the
mouth of hell. When challenged, the ENTJ may by reflex
become argumentative. Alternatively (s)he may unleash an icy
gaze that serves notice: the ENTJ is not one to be trifled
with.
Functional Analysis
Extraverted Thinking
"Unequivocating" expresses the resoluteness of the ENTJ's
dominant function. Clarity of convictions endows these
Thinkers with a knack for debate, or wanting knack, a
penchant for argument. The light and heat generated by
Thinking at the helm can be impressive; perhaps even
overwhelming. Experience teaches many ENTJs that restraint
may often be the better part of valor, lest one find oneself
victorious but alone.
Introverted iNtuition
The auxiliary function explores the blueprints of
archetypal patterns and equips Thinking with a fresh,
dynamic sense of how things work. Improvising on the fly is
something many ENTJs do very well. As Thinking's subordinate,
insights are of value only insofar as they further the
Right, True Cause celebre. [n.b.: ENTJs are capable of
living on a higher plane, if you will, and learning to value
individuals even above their principles. The above dynamic
suggests less individuation.]
Extraverted Sensing
Sensing reaches out to embrace that which physically
touches it. ENTJs have an awareness of the real; of that
which exists. By stilling the engines of Thinking and
iNtuition, this type may experience the Here and Now, and
know things not dreamt of nor even postulated in iNtuition's
philosophy. Sensing's minor role, however, puts it at risk
for distortion or extreme weakness beneath the hustle and
bustle of the giants N and T.
Introverted Feeling
Feeling is romantic, as the ethereal as the inner world from
whence it doth emerge. When it be awake, feeling evokes
great passion that knows not nuance of proportion nor
context. Perhaps these lesser functions inspire glorious
recreational quests in worlds that never were, or may only
ever be in fantasy. When overdone or taken too seriously, Fi
turned outward often becomes maudlin or melodramatic.
Feeling in this type appears most authentic when implied or
expressed covertly in a firm handshake, accepting demeanor,
or act of sacrifice thinly covered by excuses of lack of any
personal interest in the relinquished item.
