ENTJ

You're more likely to rely on emotional intuition than logical reasoning when making a choice.

disagree you struggle with deadlines disagree you often wait i gotta answer this one then i gotta put my email chat you feel confident that things will work out for you i mean yeah i mean that's just like optimism to a degree all right chat what do you think i got what did you get chat your personality is commander entj steve jobs I think when I took this way before I got architect.

As an ENTJ, you're a natural born leader with an unparalleled drive to turn your visions into reality.

Your strategic mind excels at seeing the big picture, identifying long-term goals and devising efficient plans to achieve them.

You possess a rare combination of confidence, charisma, and decision.

Okay, I'm not telling everybody here to throw out your day plan.

I was so transactional, ENTJ on the Myers-Briggs, I was so transactional as a CEO, I had to throw out my day planner or I couldn't look at myself in the mirror because I couldn't say I wanted to live consciously and keep doing what I was doing.

So I threw it out.

I was deathly afraid I would crash my company.

so this.

So for the Myers-Briggs, I'm an ENTJ.

Okay.

And I guess you're, are you into Myers-Briggs much? Yeah.

Intuition or thinking.

ENTP or ENTJ.

What are they doing more? An ENTP would have extroverted intuition.

And since they're an extrovert, they would have it as their dominant function.

An ENTJ would have extroverted thinking.

Yeah, an introverted intuition.

If they're an extrovert, their extroverted thinking would be like breathing for them.

I'm beaten up emotionally.

And she said, after some small talk, she said, okay, your assessment came back and you're an ENTJ.

And I kind of laughed at myself.

I said, I've been called a lot of four letter words before, but never an ENTJ.

And she explained what an ENTJ was in terms of this assessment.

And it's like, you're an extrovert, intuitive, trusting, judgmental.

And she said only 2% of the population are ENTJs.

And when she said that, I sat up and I threw my shoulders back, my head up, and I didn't say a word.

Uh, and then episode 77, uh, lists each type's third function along with its wardrobe pattern, so you can go look that up and, and listen to that later.

Um, so extroverted sensing, which is, like, about being in the moment, what's happening right now, that is the third function for ENTJ and ENFJ types.

And so we, um, including myself, 'cause this is mine, uh, might wonder, "Will this outfit make an impact?" Then sensing, uh, used a- in the introverted form, which is more about processing sensory experiences, is, um, in the third spot for INFPs and INTPs, and they're gonna be wondering, "Is this too far outside normal?" Or they could be wondering that.

Um, and then to complete the, uh, the perceiving functions, which are about how you learn, they're not doing any judging at all, um, extroverted intuition is the third function for ESTJs and ESFJs, and this is all about possibilities.

one

that was popular, to your point of like the red thing, the old ENTJs.

Because when we first started at work, everybody did do Myers-Briggs.

There are some very good critiques of it, by the way, you could read, which are interesting, which would probably make you think, I'm never going to do it.

I was like an ENFJ for all of my life.

I think I'm maybe an ENTJ now.

Wow.

We're only one letter off, man.

So during that first round interview, you've got analysts and tech officers and linguists who are all sitting in the same room and they're all going through the same 25 questions, but then if they fit the behavior model of a CIA officer, then the person interviewing them will basically say, this person might be a good analyst, this person might be a good case officer, this person might be a linguist then the second round of interviews and this was this is dated 2007-ish right the second round of interviews is when you actually go through the personality battery which is two full days of personality testing and assessment what that does is it identifies would you actually be good at a case officer or a sue or a targeting officer or a tech officer would you actually personality wise be good at that job

what about an entj asking for a friend

So ENTJs actually make fantastic mission planners and really effective tech officers because the J means that you follow a system.

But without a system, Js get lost a lot of the time.

Oh, interesting.

So they end up making very good case officers.

But the Js, I mean, even if you think about it, just look at the metrics.

ENTJs carte blanche, by a long margin, are the most successful people in America.

But that's just the opposite of me, so maybe that is my biases.

Listen, because there is on personality-database.com, someone did do Strahd's personality type, but they have him as an ENTJ, extroverted intuitive thinking and judging.

A personality type marked for bold leadership, strategic execution, and a hunger for achievement.

A hunger for achievement.

And we're all thinking it.

And I'm glad you finally said it.

I just want to say that Patrick Bateman is also an ENTJ.

Do we think that Patrick Bateman is strapped like Napoleon Bonaparte?
