Understanding an ENTJ

What is an ENTJ (Extrovert, INtuitive, Thinker, Judging)?

Known as “The Commanders”, ENTJs are strong willed leaders who always find a way to what they desire. Here’s the breakdown on all things ENTJ.

They’re charismatic, rational, and perhaps stubborn beings. ENTJ’s have the extroverted nature to be successful, and also the thinking trait that keeps them logical and sharp. However, their overwhelming personalities tend to intimidate the more sensitive personalities, especially those that rely on emotion over logic.

ENTJs often find themselves in long term projects and are very driven individuals. They love a challenge, and tend to not give up until they accomplish their goals. You can oftentimes find them as entrepreneurs and in other self-starter positions. They make strong leaders, but they can annoy their followers with the inability to let things go. When placed in situations of compromise, ENTJs don’t give up and enjoy the challenge of debate. It’s an exercise they enjoy. They also tend to respect individuals more when they give them some kind of challenge.
