ENTJ: YOU! I LIKE YOUR BRAIN! JOIN ME IN MY QUEST! INTJ: ...Why? ENTJ: BECAUSE I SAID SO! INTJ:... That's not a convincing reason. ENTJ: Very well then, how about- *lays out long term plans, deals, and ambitions in a rational way* INTJ: *listens and is swayed* … Now we're talking. Though the ENTJ was planning to betray the INTJ, and the INTJ was planning going to overthrow ENTJ and rule his kingdom from the shadows, the two eventually see eye to eye and even begin to form a strong sense of appreciation for each other. And thus, they abandoned their evil plots to overthrow each other because deep down, they knew they were the only ones that truly understood one another.

[@kitkakitteh]

And you just described my marriage- (me INTJ, him ENTJ) we decided kids were a no go, less we actually raised the antichrist or something. We should have just gone for it, but it just didn't make sense.

[@anonygent]

Cute. My own view is that ENTJ and INTJ are likely to be the last two standing and end up facing off against one another. Think Larry Bird (INTJ) and the Celtics v. Magic Johnson (ENTJ) and the Lakers.

INTJ with older ENTJ boss. He really likes me cause I'm "bright". Basically I study everything in our environment all day, the ENTJ naturally wants to use their TE function, when we sit down to strategize something, it's like talking to you're other half. INTJ builds up ammunition of ideas, ENTJ is ready to fire anything on their minds and can keep up using intuition. I am convinced an INTJ/ENTJ strategy pair is unbeatable.

I'm INFJ. I have a very close ENTJ friend who motivates me so much. I feel we can really connect because we both have passion and drive for success. Different ways we go about reaching that success, but we still hunger for it! I think these two types definitely complement each other.

[@natureshorts6657]

I feel like the INTJ-ENTJ is the perfect match for starting a business (or taking over the world). INTJs are brilliant strategists but often have problems implementing their ideas and taking action, whereas the ENTJ is all about taking action. The ENTJ can take action on the INTJ's ideas, and the INTJ can slow down the ENTJ a bit to make the best decisions/moves. I, an INTJ, have known a few ENTJ women in my life, and I honestly felt like we were unstoppable together.

[@Dadutta]

So INTJ is like the strategist formulating the battle plan and handing it over to the ENTJ, the general, who actually goes and leads the men

[@PBaraik]

But as ENTJ is a leader type he just doesn't follow the strategy produced by the INTJ. He only considers them.

[@thezone8135]

Yeah, but only for a second before coming up with a better plan.

[@J040PL7]

in a way yes, INTJ will analyze every possible outcome, set out a plan which will be executed by others, the ENTJ is excellent at executing well thought out plans while being a leader of men at the same time.

[@ADKBeachBodyCoach21]

More like INTJ creates a plan and uses the ENTJ and their comrades as puppets to pull it off while letting the ENTJ think they're in control ;)

[@voltaire5427]

Or perhaps the ENTJ will have already mobilized and blitzed the enemy while the INTJ is still trying to work out the details of his plan.

Hello there Elated Elitist, you wrote "I'm an intj i hate being complimented, especially when its about something i have no control over. For example: how i look." From the evidence of personality typing this may not be quite true, (however you were probably not aware of this). Please view this as it describes quite well how peoples' personalities come out in the way they look over the long term of their lives. www.the16types.info/vbulletin/content.php/255-Visual-Type-Identification or e.g kzbin.info/www/bejne/gqGzh6CEeq6DsJo Regards, Derek

[@meilei8716]

Exactly the comment I needed to read. Thanks

[@AnonW]

Beautiful explanation, I always got ENTJ over INTJ but only by a few % so was never sure whether I was ENTJ or INTJ but this video made me realize why I am DEFINITELY an ENTJ and thats because 1. When I get pushed into a corner and under alot of stress, my first thought is go all in and eliminate my target which proves that my Fi is very unhealthy and repressed. 2. I LOVE extroverted sensing whether it be chowing down the best steak I've ever had in my life, driving 280km/h on the highway, feeling the wind blow through me as I jump off a plane etc... I love thrills and adrenaline which means I CANNOT be an INTJ. 3. I do not EVER compete with myself, I only care about out performing others as I am not my own enemy thus why compete with myself? 4. When I get excited with your question, I might shove my opinion down your throat and won't give a rats ass about what you think UNLESS you debunk me with logical solid facts in which case, the next person who asks me the same questions will get my new learned opinion shoved down their throats :D

[@HalfTimesTwo]

I know this is an old comment, but as an INTJ, I'd like to offer my perspective. Regarding #3, since INTJs have introverted intuition as their dominate function, INTJs are their own worst enemies, which is why they compete with themselves while ENTJs compete with others; its a difference that results from the way they're wired. For #4: INTJs are the exact same with this, so bad choice of example. That being said, I know the only times I clash with my ENTJ friends is when it comes down to a difference of understanding/opinion. But since we're both NT types, whoever is **actually** right will end up winning the argument by laying out the cold, hard facts and explaining why they're right and the other is wrong. Once the person proving the other wrong has done that, the other person will understand and like you said, their opinion on it will be changed and both can move past the conflict.

[@MrMarkovka11]

@@HalfTimesTwo and, if I may, add to your response to the author (as an INTJ myself); for #2, while adrenaline rushes happen predominantly in our mind, every now and then a brilliant beam of light shines down the dark shaft of our repressed external sensing, wherein we take our thoughts and ideas and put them to the test in the outside world. There's no telling what limitations at that point will apply to the INTJs forceful need for the ultimate adrenaline rush.

[@sparkle1949]

Mike Wu you didn’t get it. It’s not competing with yourself as an enemy. “It’s you , just better “ and better and even better, that’s being excellent having higher standards for yourself despite of the oppositions standards....INTJS get it

[@callmekhaleesi]

Competing with only others is just limiting and killing your own potential i dont agree with you. You wouldnt survive so well in a judgemental/ignorant country i am guessing.

[@callmekhaleesi]

@@sparkle1949 same i dont know why people dont understand the part where we compete within our own limits cause we want to be the best version of ourselves and not only our own society.

[@ejkboxing]

This informs of how when I, an INTJ, was in the military officers would always come to me & ask me what I thought about their idea, plans & strategies. I was always the go to guy for all subjects & plans & someone else always got the credit for my plans, ideas & strategies, because I wanted it that way, as long as the people who got the credit remembered where they got the plans, ideas, & strategies from.

[@1and253]

@EJK Boxing...This is how I do at work. I also go a step further when sharing information, if I don't trust the person, I will also secretly share information with someone else so that when one of them states they came up with the info, the other person knows the truth. This has multiple avenues of impact depending on the situation and its always entertaining.

Fellow INTJ here. Good vid!

[@wuestion9473]

I'm an INTJ (I recently tested again and always get the same result). I'm not disagreeing with your video, but am commenting some differences I notice in myself. I do not have much sympathy for people who treat others badly because they are stressed or having a bad day; I find it ridiculous to do so because of your own feelings and have no respect for such behavior. If I'm stressed, I prefer to stay away from others or focus on my actions to prevent behaving that way. I love going to loud concerts and amusement parks - by myself. I think it may be that pulling all that information in and experiencing it inside just as much as outside exhilarates me.

[@Dayz3O6]

These personalities are just the base of the root and not the whole tree; you are whom who will shape yourself to be as you grow. Your part about the stressed manager is flawed, why? Because you are putting your own opinion on how you will do it. Do you think the manager given in the example will have the same mind set as you? Some can do what you describe but know that not everyone can do that; not everyone can control their emotion. If you are really an INTJ you should always be open minded and critical.

[@ReinertZerker]

@@Dayz3O6 Exactly, well said. The INTJ must hold a rather condescending view onto others, else our own high expectations of them would lead us into disappointment and depression. There's only one person whom you can rely on not to fail, and that's yourself. This is why I shoot through my teammates on games, and I always have the highest KDR. 😊

[@dacksonflux]

@@ReinertZerker I've noticed this unfortunate trend in my personal development. I've always strived to give people reason to never condescend me as I normally appreciate being respected. However, it seems that allowing my mind to wander into said territories might be what I must do for my own mental health. Is my emotional stability a noble sacrifice or am I kidding myself? It's sad, I really do care for people though I don't know why. Hmm...

[@pombear127]

I just love listening to the way you're explaining things in this video, even though I'm neither an ENTJ nor an INTJ, I'm an INTP. I actually like hearing all INTJs speak, they're so informed, intelligent and confident. It's a a bit of a shame I don't know any in real life. Also, although the differences between the ENTJs and INTJs are subtle as you say, I'd personally prefer being friends with INTJs as I find that INTJs are a teeny bit more intelligent than ENTJs, plus INTJs have a refinement to them that I really like that ENTJs don't have.

[@hfortenberry]

Fantastic discussion about the role of Se on the two types. I'm an INTJ and my Dad is an ENTJ and I always tell him that I get overstimulated in chaotic or loud environments but I have never really been able to explain why. NOW i get it! Thank you! It's because our Se is feeding our dominant functions and my dominant function (Ni) essentially can't keep up with it as well as his (Te). That's really interesting! And SO TRUE for me! "Sensory anxiety" is a good word for it. I've sometimes wondered if I was ever so slightly autistic or something because of it but I didn't really think so. This video explains it well.

I’m an ENTJ and I have no INTJs around me. It’s just so frustrating to know that no one is going to understand the way my brain is working.

[@daniellelittlepage985]

INFJ here! Enjoyed your video. Makes sense! I am definitely interested in the relationships between INFJ's/ENTJ's, NFJ's/NTJ's, etc! My first love was an ENTJ. And who I call my "church dad" is an ENTJ.. The best Dad I didn't have growing up, but have now! I definitely think there's a special bond between ENTJ's and INFJ's. I've just gotten out of a long-drawn out up and down relationship with an INTJ. He thought he was an INFJ and for the first few months I was convinced he was, too. I think he was trying to blend in with me and at the beginning of the relationship embraced his feeling side, more. I finally realized a main reason why we clashed so much in conversation was because of the Te/Fe difference. Once he started acting more like "himself", he was upset that I didn't embrace this side of him that I didn't even know was important to him when getting to know him in the first place. I think he was too busy trying to impress me at first maybe. He talked too much about people's flaws. (And mine, eventually) It exhausted me. I defended all sides that he wasn't acknowledging. That seemed to be what exhausted him.

[@aperturedriven88]

Enjoyed the video and your concise delivery very much. Being an INTJ as well I very much understand and see/have seen these perspectives/perceptions regarding myself others I know and have known, and it was almost an audiobook story about my youngest brother (Dillon ENTJ and I (INTJ). I used to work at a furniture store in the warehouse (perfect system with potential to improve upon if manager/supervisor is not analytical or intuitive). Within mins-days (depending on the task/focus) I'd innovatively personalize the steps or methods for different tasks, until after understanding most or all the intermediate connections of the system I would begin to suggest and demonstrate efficiency with tasks and how that would improve multiple aspects down the line, annnd make my job easier and faster so I could return to my own life quicker, made everything more self-sufficient, and was paid the same (salary). I never sought out recognition or discounted another's perspective without explaining the improvements mine allowed from understanding the learned benefit of tact. And in the end of one doesn't care to examine and possibly try/use my perspective, unless it unavoidably affects me I don't continue to push my opinion (though it may be objectively valid), I will just end transmission and continue with my thing. Subscribed, thanks again.

Aubrey Same here... I'm _probably_ an INTJ, although I might be an xNTJ, but my father is clearly an ENTJ and was tested as one. (Surprisingly, earlier in life he was tested as ENTP.) If I dare to question or not follow his commands, he might become pretty aggressive. It's really annoying, especially because NTs don't like to follow, so me either.

[@isaytheenay5961]

Also, same here. My father is ENTJ, and I am INTJ. I've seen this combination between father and son so often, I've oft wondered if there is some causation involved.

[@solar0wind]

What about father and daughter?

[@isaytheenay5961]

I wouldn't see why not. Or mother/son. But i've only once met a fem I knew was INTJ, and only casually. I knew nothing about her parents, so who knows? It might be interesting to see if there is a pattern there, and if it's limited by gender, or crosses gender equally.

[@daramyrey14]

Very interesting, I am also an INTJ (19 years old) and my father is an ENTJ (39 years old). I always admired him since I was little. He is very driven and committed to his projects, extremely intelligent. I always felt that he knew my potential, and now I understand why. Even to this day he encourages me to pursue my goals and he is the ONLY person who inspires me to achieve them, not only through his words, but also through his behavior. I might be wrong but I do think genetics can play a role on this. ENTJ's are very smart individuals and intelligence does transfer to the offspring. Genetics probably do in fact, define ones personality type. But that is just my hypothesis. I am his only son so I can't really provide more evidence on this...

She voices her complaints on why they are being unreasonable while I try to process and analyze why they are doing so. Great video!

[@matthewfelton8309]

I'm almost 50/50 between I and E. Example from around 6:40 mark, I understand my managers position, and then become angry because I realize how worthless he is. My I doesn't let me forgive. People, and objects should perform their role in society that they agreed to, because they said they would. If not get out of the way.

This was amazing! Thank you!

[@kane5955]

This is entertaining and informative. Thanks for the video.

[@Msthoro1]

"Overbearing with their opinions and thoughts"- 100 percent. Thank you for the clarification. I tie on the cognitive type testing with NI and TE. They are always tied. I am very loud when need be and do clearly voice all of my opinions and am definitely not in the background yet am not social either hence the confusion. Thank you for the this.

[@Lylantares]

INTJ and you are spot on regarding leadership. I can tolerate weak or faulty leadership only a certain amount of time before I start getting involved. I spot all the flaws constantly. And I hate being told what to do by a person who is clearly not making good decisions. That said, I also don't want to lead all by myself because I know my flaws. I'm so much more comfortable when I got someone else I can trust and with whom I can mentally spar and exchange ideas. I don't hate people, I always try to understand their point of view and make compromises if possible. Just like you said ;)

[@jcastro8833]

its like i was talking LOL! so glad to find others like me! INTJS! We mold the world with our questioning of posibilities!

[@Peacefulnessxxx]

You are exactly on the spot with ENTJ as evey single time I do the test it's that and the description is spot on though I am cautious and considerate of theory in order to get facts to achieve a goal or overcome other people s laziness (not even my opinion in my job its what I tend to get to deal with )but then being Aspergers Autistic does have an influence in the noise part but then again there is noise and an utter racket. Though a little manipulation (only in extreme circumstances)or explaining to people can go a long way.

[@nataliek878]

I am an ENTJ female with an INTJ father, thanks for the helpful video! I would say about leadership though, especially being a turbulent type and being a female, I don't always like to lead either. Most of the time I can feel insecure if I know there is somebody else who can lead better than me. I would hate to let others down and embarrass myself in the process. This is especially the case since I'm only 16 and still fall under the authority of teachers and parents.

[@yombate]

just took the test, i thought i was an INFJ due to the videos ive seen and how I relate so strongly. But turns out im an ENTJ and thats dead on accurate. Im not extremely extroverted as compared to others but I definitely am an entj as they describe it. I work really hard and kinda seem arrogant because how focused I am. But the thing is, life is running out and no1 really cares about us at the end of the day so the best we can do is work as hard as we can and be grateful for every opportunity that God presents us with in life. Do this and create as great of a life for our children and their children as we can before we are gone.

[@AliiScott]

There are many videos like this but yours explains the "why". I don't prefer the center of attention role because I don't have time to fully analyze the future if I'm distracted with all that attention etc. I can lead well but simply don't prefer it. Thanks so much!!!

[@micahroberts8383]

INTJ here. I love being the center of attention. I have given speeches, performed in bands and theater, and I'm working on starting a podcast with some friends now. This is only true when I either have a level of competency that allows me to be successful in my goal regardless of possible variables I couldn't predict and/or when I trust at least one person I am with to help me be successful if something comes up in the process. Otherwise, good lord, why do I ever leave the house?! lol... Anyway, excellent video!

[@mrjonjoe1895]

Nice job explaining that their differences are more stereotypical, while on paper, they're almost the same. I bet they're just as similar within too.

[@Chet22]

What you said about INTJ that they want to be better than they were yesterday is so true. And I always have believed that every person should do that.. constantly become better than they are, always excel.

[@Chet22]

@INxJ you yourself will define what is better for you.

[@osamadamarany7560]

Why I was not surprised to know that you are an INTJ? .... . Fascinating :D

[@melaniek4929]

me too! actually, It is because he simplified complex ideas pretty well and explained the moments swiftly with ease.. there is also some humbleness :P

[@kwilliamsp]

DEFINITELY! As an INTJ, I would rather be in the background as far as leadership roles are concerned, but I have stepped up into those roles a few times, successfully throughout my years. Now I'm self-employed. Good video!

[@fierylightning3422]

Because of early intervention therapy growing up due to aspergers, I’m very much of a weird blunt between INTJ, INFJ and ENTJ however I’m mostly INTJ compared to the other personalities.

[@sfam5920]

This is so funny because other videos say INTJ's are the inflexible ones who get upset when their plans are ruined and can't necessarily think on their feet. And ENTJ's the ones who listen more to the opinions and thoughts of others and are quicker on their feet since they aren't as upset when their plans are ruined. Hence, the ENTJ's are the ultimate adaptable strategists.

[@12x]

Good vids I'd like to see more INTJ/P and ENTJ. for quite a while I thought I was an INTJ or ENTP...turns out i'm an ENTJ. I was surprised at first but the more i think about it, not so much.

[@anonygent]

YES! I *HATE* loud noises, roller coasters, blasting radios, barking dogs, etc. I went to a concert once and I found the perfect volume level was standing outside the stadium next to my car.

[@tootynuggets]

Perceiving as an INTJ really allows distinction. The stressed boss scenario hit the nail on the head for me. I like to think about the why first often before acting or speaking.

[@shawnmartin1306]

Something that I realized that may help you also is combining mbti with Enneagram. No question I am an INTJ. However, if you look at my Enneagram I type 8w7. Most of the time especially when it comes to business you would think I was an entj. I prefer my solitude to think and hate going to loud places. Now at the same time I have no issues taking over an entire room. I tend to be very aggressive in destroying anything that gets in my way of achieving my goal. I actually enjoy having people come at me or going after them. Comes very natural and enjoy taking the center of attention as long it's not a room full of idiots. Then I will call them out. Point is by using both personality methods paints a much clearer portrait

[@serafinac.4788]

Shawn Martin I agree. Many with the knowledge of MBTI, without taking into account the Enneagram, would mistype me as an incredibly introverted ENTJ.

[@kevinkim9929]

I feel the same way! Im an INTJ and 8w7 also! I don't feel comfortable if Im not in charge of everything goes on. But here's a lil advice from my closest friend, he said, the difference between Charming, charismatic leader and a Narssicist jerk is too subtle for INTJs that often time INTJs can not figure out what kind of leader they are.

[@tettyarundhati5162]

Shawn Martin same with me, INTJ combined with Enneagram I type8w7

[@christopherhorn1161]

My best friend in the Marines was an ENTJ. The dark sense of humor, the banter...it was just a natural bond. He was a firecracker... constantly in trouble, somehow I avoided it, perhaps my introversion hid me in the background. I been a fan of mobster movies. If I had to describe the INTJ/ENTJ in a mobster way. I would say my best friend was the Don, the one that drove the bus. I was the lawyer, the one with the map and compass. I prefer to work for an honest ENTJ, and just whisper in thier ear. Most likely he/she will be more effective implementing my ideas than I would.

[@waynerobinson979]

Spot on gyes. Thanks heaps. Intj

[@mindtheyoutubegap]

And keep those good vids com'in

[@artisticautistic9664]

Thanks. I'm definitely entj

[@loworochi]

I guess I’m an ENTJ despite testing INTJ multiple times. I think I’m introverted, but I move and solve problems like an ENTJ.

[@AzetheReal]

I feel 50/50 cause I demand leadership positions. Even when I try avoiding it, people around me see me as the leader regardless. I’m also very fine tuned with my emotions. I know exactly what people feel and can read body language with precision. I am also very perceptive. I tell people exactly what’s going to happen, but I do think far into the future and assess outcomes. I feel more 51/49.

[@MayronDev]

My partner and I are both very similar but she is an INTJ and I thought I was too but she thinks I am more extroverted and I am certainly more goal-oriented and wanting to get things done. This video really seems to suggest that I am an ENTJ. I will say that I am incredibly impatient and often want to snap at my team members at work because they're too slow lol. I think I can be annoying to them but they also depend on me a lot despite the fact that I am the youngest on the team. I love trying to lead them despite that not technically being my job.

[@nicoreed3600]

Would i be right in assuming that they could work in tandem as "the leader" and "the adviser"? As an INTJ, I have known several ENTJs that use me as their backboard or vice to keep them in check or aligned with their plans (my signature phrase is "good plan"). Lately ive been considering dating a friend of mine who is an ENTJ who has many of the same aspirations and long term plans as me. Ive been thinking a lot about the nearly symbiotic relationship we would have as a couple. So my question is; do u think a relationship between these two types can be characterized as that of a king or queen and their counsel?

[@micahroberts8383]

I love this idea!

[@dacksonflux]

INTJ here: I don't know if other INTJs are similar but it is sometimes very difficult to win my respect as a leader above me. I respond much better to someone speaking to me as an equal that just has less experience. I can also feel very stifled by "leaders" who find me threatening. I don't want their position (I prefer autonomy), but if such a demonstration of weakness continues I may have to cease it (or just leave).

[@toolboxevolution7456]

Completely agree although I've had some of them insist on wars with me having ZERO IDEA who they're f' ing with. I destroy them thoroughly first, THEN leave.

[@dacksonflux]

@@toolboxevolution7456 The destruction part is always fair. I usually just remove what I've contributed, which will undoubtedly set them back months.

[@toolboxevolution7456]

@@dacksonflux totally agree! That, however, is just for dumb but not evil. Once they cross the evil threshold though, it's time to level everything in the cleverest and most devastating way possible. My wrath has to be nurtured and earned, but once they get me there it is only juicy and spectacular!

[@anna.t._7224]

If you are watching this video and are stuck between whether you are an entj or intj then you are probably intj

[@jedisentinel4879]

I personally think ENTJ's are willing to put their theories to test and error, which makes them way less arrogant than INTJ's as they know by experience what works in reality and what doesn't.

[@HalfTimesTwo]

I disagree, I think this is something that's more of a person to person basis. On the one hand, I know ENTJs who are incredibly arrogant because of the experience they possess and because they know what's worked out for them in the past. On the other hand, INTJs (me being one) can be incredibly arrogant because our knowledge and understanding of theory is so concrete that when we then see the theory in action (whether by applying it ourselves or seeing someone else apply it) and it works, we aren't even surprised because we already knew it would work in the first place (which is also why INTJs tend to plan further ahead than ENTJs). So it's like ENTJs can be arrogant because of their experience of what works and INTJs can be arrogant because of their knowledge of what will come to be. But if you want to go based off this video, which I'll assume is coherent with the theory behind MBTI , than ENTJs being dominant judgers while INTJs being dominant perceivers would suggest that ENTJs are arrogant more often than INTJs are.

[@Zichfried]

Totally fake. INTJs also watch videos with 2x because they have no patience. Not to talk about INTP lack of patience. The point is, that is not an exclusive ENTJ trait.

[@angrydoodle8919]

I don’t watch in 2x but I often end up not watching everything because they’re just repeating themselves

[@alexpaglinawan4297]

For me, I just don't watch it too fast or too slow. I just skip certain parts so I can get it straight right away without talking monologs.

[@ayesha6498]

calm tf down. lack of patience applies to every single personality type in different ways- its just more common in entjs

[@PresidentNat]

True, but chill.

[@dracul1265]

Please shut up.

[@Light.1992]

I’m an ambivert girl, but I think the ENTJ profile suits me better. I tend to be somewhat impulsive struggling to see my ideas turning into tangible reality, I have little patience about speculations of no practical use. I literally think aloud and I process my ideas better this way. As a Fi inferior sometimes it’s not easy to accept my real self and be in touch with my moral and ideals. Se plays a relevant role giving me a love for aesthetics, good looks and food, and I tend to enjoy and feel alive when a lot is happening around me. I like to be in charge and be looked up to, and in general I love handling and processing things myself.

[@darrenwelton8468]

fantastic. thank you

[@Nyalloyd]

I don’t want to make decisions or take in new information. I consider new information to be a new understanding of the same info I already have. I like to stay in my little box of known information and offer options to others. If pressed I can draw hard lines on my values that I’ve given a lot of thought to over the years.

[@Quraishy]

Amazing video 👍🏻 Do you feel a sensory type would have been able to make such a video and do such research?

[@joeyorem777]

I do both, I say this is what will happen, but afterwards I still circle it in my mind to see what may change... given enough thought.

[@johnkennethcamero9481]

As an INTJ we analyze every outcome and we have strategy in each of that outcome. we just patiently waiting for which of those outcome will come out so that we will execute the strategy that we already have. Just like it said we feel like we're always one step ahead to other people.

[@lit68]

I checked myself before and I was ENTJ, very loud and socializing... Until social distancing happened,, checked myself again, then boom INTJ, putting utmost importance for my alone time. I think there's some sort of a pattern here 🤔

[@kj1227icecap]

Which training did you take? Was it online? You're excellent at this.

[@aksy5814]

im both intj and entj i have tryed many diffrent test after i got told i had both. and yea im both. i love my brain and how i am im lucky

[@AwakenTofu]

I think that INTJ is just a bit lazier than the ENTJ from expressing emotions and actions

[@nadeking4825]

Verina Flame as an INTJ I would prefer to not risk myself being the image someone with less value can be the figure, but I will pull the strings.

[@harveyspecter1855]

I feel like INTJs are in general lazier than ENTJs given the fact that they have only themselves to compete with whereas ENTJs are far from lazy....

[@Diaming787]

It just has to do with Ni, since it is too abstract for the real world. As an INTJ, I also tend to be lazy if things aren't going as planned.

[@tuomio5043]

I am in between these 2. I consider myself an ambivert though I might lean more towards intj

[@icanrelate]

ENTJ think outloud and suffer from foot in mouth. If you blurt out your thoughts you're an ENTJ. If can't sit still for long. You're ENTJ. Otherwise, you're INTJ. They're more chill and focused.

[@Johnathan_The_Terrible]

I took an MBTI in an ethics class, and got INTJ, but only introverted by a small majority. I am trying to study both XNTJ types, to see what both sides are like. The thing is that I like spending time on my own coming up with systems based on efficient concepts, but when I do find myself at the center of attention, though, I can get many eyes and ears to find interest in my point of view.

[@raijin7707]

As an ENTJ I'd say there's a lot of overlapping with me in particular when it comes to preferences of how I handle things. There are things you'd typically expect an INTJ would do that I would do and to someone who just met me I might seem as an INTJ sometimes because I am in a state of observation and analyzing when dealing with new entities. I must gather some data about them before fully engaging with them, I am constantly reading them and taking down notes consciously and unconsciously quickly. Deciphering their image and their body language to paint a picture of who this person is before I am to figure out what to do with them and what purpose do they serve and how much of my time shall the be worth. Now that's not me trying to be over the top it's just a defense mechanism for me, I have to know who and what I am dealing with and some of the variable's to feel safe and knowing the right actions to take with people. To most non NT types this may seem like a lot of work but to a NT this is happening so damn fast on the fly it can hardly be said to be happening at all, it doesn't cost that much energy because this is normal day to day shit in a TE world xD

[@-_-NannO_-]

I get that. It's completely normal, to be honest, and not just an INTJ thing as most people make it out to be, since ENTJs are in the NT family they're big-picture oriented, and since extroverted thinking is their primary function, that serves as the decision-making function. Then, their secondary function which is introverted intuition serves as an information-gathering function and supports their first function. So, when ENTJs need to gather information for whatever reason, they'll be on it as much as any other NT type, especially INTJ for comparison. Being judgmental of others, looking down on others, or being hypersensitive to criticism and feelings is normal for ENTJs when under stress, and that sort of sounds a little like that. It's also fine to take mental notes on who's worth your time and who isn't, and that's not exclusive to INTJs because ENTJs aren't always one hundred percent extroverted and can need time to recharge as well. -Coming from an introverted-ENTJ (thanks to Fi and many emotions)

[@callmekhaleesi]

I am both intj and entj since i might not like socialise a lot but i cannot live without other people. They are the reason why i push my limits
