Top Ten Words That Describe Most ENTJs:
Take Charge ... Bold ... High-Energy ... Strategic ... Proactive
Confident ... Assertive ... Innovative ... Decisive ... Tenacious
ENTHUSIASTIC, CHARISMATIC, TALKATIVE
ENTHUSIASTIC, CHARISMATIC, TALKATIVE
Enthusiastic, direct and charismatic, ENTJs are one of the
most high energy,talkative types. They are typically very comfortable sharing
about their lives and are much more likely than their INTJ colleagues to “think
out loud.” Highly articulate, ENTJs have a naturally bold and dynamic presence
that tends to command the attention of the room. Often their tremendous outward
self confidence and excellent verbal skills draw others to them, but can at
times overpower or intimidate certain personality types. ENTJs are the type that have to work the
hardest to not interrupt others (usually in an effort to fight for “the floor”
or avoid hearing excessive details).
INTELLECTUALLY CURIOUS, DEBATE TO UNDERSTAND
ENTJs have a strong need to be constantly learning and
challenging themselves. They thrive when they are continuously working towards
higher levels of competency, and are easily bored by assignments or tasks that
they have mastered. Intellectually curious, ENTJs learn by challenging others’
positions, expecting them to defend their positions for the benefit of better
understanding both sides. They tend to respect others who can argue their
position.
BIG PICTURE PROBLEM SOLVERS
There are two phases of most projects or meetings: (1) the
vision and strategy-setting stage and (2) the execution stage. Unlike their
ESTJ colleagues, ENTJs tend to gravitate towards the former. Highly future
focused, out-of-the-box, logic-driven thinkers, few can match the ENTJ’s
capacity when it comes to doing what they love - developing long-term
strategies or solving complex problems that involve a lot of moving pieces.
ENTJs’ minds are unconventional and unrestricted by previous approaches or
traditional thinking.
STRATEGIC VISIONARIES
ENTJs are driven more by logic than personal values. They
don’t necessarily check in with their own emotions when making decisions, and
can at times overlook others’ emotional reactions. Strategic visionaries, ENTJs
excel at objectively analyzing and planning for the long-term needs of an
organization. Much less sensitive than their ENFJ colleagues, ENTJs usually
would rather be “right” than be “liked,” and can be very direct (to the point
of being blunt). They tend not to “sugar coat” their feedback or reactions as
much as other types, in order to not detract from the clarity of message.
PERFECTIONISTIC, FOCUSED, "TAKE CHARGE"
ENTJs drive for closure quickly and are some of the very
fastest decision makers on the planet. “Good enough” is not typically part of
the vocabulary of an ENTJ. They have
extremely high standards for themselves, as well as a tremendous stamina forhard
work. ENTJs tend to hold others to the same high standards and work ethic that
they expect from themselves. As one of the most proactive of the 16 types, they
don’t wait for it to all “work out”…they MAKE it all work out! ENTJs constantly
push themselves to achieve excellence in all of their endeavors, which often
translates into long hourswith more focus and fewer breaks in concentration
than most other personality types.
Natural born leaders, ENTJs have no problem taking charge in a group of
people without a leader, even among new people or environments.
