I'm an ENTJ, and this is one of the ENTJ videos I don't play at 1.5x. I really appreciate the Se and Te of this video. It's well organized and pleasing to the eyes. The notes are written on the side, with a blackboard background for the notes which has been planned beforehand. I think I developed my Ni early on (because of childhood stuff), but it was only after college where I started to develop my Fi. Journaling really helped a lot! For looking in the future, and regulating my emotions. Walks in parks are nice too for Fi! .
ENTJ to ENTJs. The cliched statement about slowing down and figuring out what you want is the one and only advice you need to follow through. And you actually need to SIT STILL and THINK about things or people, and how you want them to play out. I'm 10 years in an industry, I have a fantastic resume, and I am at the point in life: "WTF am I doing? Am I happy?" So my advice is to imagine yourself as a free-spirited and happy ISFP and move towards that person in the future. Or at least find a leeway to engage in your hobbies regularly. Alexis! You rock! Thanks for the video!
I'm on the same boat as we speak. Everything right now feels like a crucial decision as to what I'm going to do for the rest of my life. Because I'm at the point where I'm no longer going to waste any time.
ENTJ with Enneagram 8. The ability to smash obstacles with shere force of will and organize people came in true colors when I left my job and opened my business with a 15 year vision ahead in my mind. Just imagining the future gives me goosebumps every day. Back then I didn't know anything about this so I investigated a bit. I think my ENTJ activated fully 2 years ago.
Interesting. I'm an INTJ with Enneagram 5. Part of being better as a 5 is to more like an 8. And part of being a better INTJ is being a little more like an ENTJ. So I'm a better me by being more like you. Thanks for sharing. I always find ENTJs interesting.
This makes so much sense. As an ENTJ I'm usually so focus driven on goals and plans but as my "healthy release" I love to dance to EDM in a privet dance floor complete with supper loud sound system and lots of club lights. It now makes sense why I flood myself with sensory over load as a way of detaching and purely soaking in the present.
My mother would always tell me how efficient I am and how much she loves working with me when I help her what around the house or do stuff for her, such as building a complete Ikea PAX set worth 7 grand within a couple of hours. Her partner, an ESTP, would take forever, do it wrong, crooked, carelessly, give up half way, lose parts, not go by instructions. With instructions, I build things like Legos, relentlessly, no stopping until it's done. This is how I view my life. If I can figure out the proper instructions (guidance) to build my life; whether it's finances, relationships, friendships, health routines, meal preps, etc.-I'd literally be the electric cars of humans, a bit robotic-like with an adjustable speed knob that has also has a "burnout" sensor, so that I'm able to hit limits all the time without burnout, and win at anything. I love it
Every test I've taken I'm always ENTJ for the past like 15 years, I was an INTJ one moment when I was a little depressed, which turns me more inward, so I made it a rule to only take the test in a good or neutral mood... I notice I have to slow myself down as an ENTJ, like I HAVE to, or I'll burn out, which I hate too, I have to manually slow myself down, while most ppl are slobs...who pretend they're busy, they want to be ENTJs but will never be, so theyre a bit of imposters which angers me, cuz there's only certain truly busy go getters, the rest are slowly functioning people taking all day to do simple nothing's
Sorry but here is a fact. I got divorced once (terrible one that lasted 5+ years - still on-going losing millions of dollars); Going to start the second divorce; The business I am running is my 13th one, meaning all the past 12 failed badly; My business ex-partner sued me and the company (the one right now) and it lasted 2.5 years losing millions of dollars due to litigation costs and settlement costs; Lost my mother when I was in my 20's, whom I really loved.... All my family members ditched me because I ditched my family religion. (I have ZERO communications with all my family members, relatives and close friends since 2017). I probably faced more chaos and disasters than most people around the World but I was never depressed - I probably was somewhat depressed a few times but that would not affect me as near as being an Introvert at all. ENTJs are so sure-footed at all times they will not back off or allow them to be depressed. If you tested yourself as ENTJs for many times , then maybe you have a tendency of admiring ENTJs so you tend to answer "that way". I mean, I can take the test so I could be any of the 16 types at ease. All I have to answer is "how". E-I, S-N, T-F, J-P are very easily distinguishable when answering to questions. What I am trying to say is even if you are an INTJ you could easily answer the questions so you would be an extrovert instead of an introvert. Here is the truth about ENTJs. No matter how bad the situation they are in they would NEVER answer to the questions so the result could come out as an Introvert. There is NO WAY. You really don't know ENTJs. ENTJs don't think that way. Even the hardest obstacles can't change the way they think. If you came out as an INTJ when you were depressed, then you ARE an INTJ because ENTJs, no matter how depressed they are, the result will NEVER come out as an Introvert. Period. P.S. I know very well about INTJs and all the INTJs I met are quite sentimental, soft-hearted and emotional and YES they often get depressed and they "get" affected by it. So I have no doubt to believe that you are really an INTJ. ENTJs are FAR from being sentimental/emotional and get depressed to the point it gets on them. Yes, they "can" become sentimental/emotional/depressed but only very lightly, for a very short period of time and they do not get affected by it.
P.S. ONE very good way of distinguishing whether you are an ENTJ or not is - If someone is really an ENTJ and if they read/see description of an ENTJ, then they will readily say "YES!!! I am INDEED an ENTJ 100000%!!!" ENTJs are the most decisive of all the types there is nothing like "maybe I am an ENTJ, maybe not..." or "I think I am an ENTJ...". No such thing. All the other 15 types "MAY" think they could be one or the other but ENTJ is the most definite type that you CANNOT be mistaken with something else. If you are unsure, then you are NOT an ENTJ. If you have doubts, then you are NOT an ENTJ. If you test yourself and sometimes it comes out as an ENTJ but some other times it comes out as something else, then you are NOT an ENTJ, Just read or watch videos about ENTJs. ENTJs are SO sure you CANNOT be mistaken with something else. Out of all the videos I watched so far I think THIS would be the most accurate description of an ENTJ. Watch this video and if all 8 topis discussed in this video fits you perfectly (not "maybe" but "perfectly"), then YOU ARE an ENTJ. If not, then sorry but you are NOT. ruclips.net/video/Sv8WTw3Dd1Q/видео.html
I wasn't sure for a while whether I was INTJ or ENTJ. Knowing my relationship with Te, I realize I'm an INTJ, but I always wanted to be ENTJ. I'm more accepting of being an INTJ who mimics ENTJ on occasions. I also try to mimic ESFP on social occasions, although, it probably looks a little dorky. I do enjoy each of your videos on the different types. It has made it easier to understand other people.
I literally tested an intj but I'm trying to become more of an entj. While someone on the internet observed that I use more of Se & Fi? So they said I'm an ESFP
@@crimsonmatter It took me a while to figure out my type. It took several tests. I think on rare occasions outside of work I can come across as an ESFP. I have a boring job, especially for an INTJ, so I end up experimenting as ESFP to break up the boredom. My team loves it.
Why the hell would you want to be more like any other type?? Use what you got to compensate for what you don't have, that stuff will just make you get an imposter syndrome. Turn your perceived faults into values, it isn't about getting a new tool, but getting the most of it from what you got.
As an ENTJ woman I do get shit done. However, im highly impatient when wanting people to get to the point. I'm still working on that, it used to be a need. The main problem area for me is my personal relationships with men. I can't seem to get that right. Its very frustrating. I struggle with giving my partner a part in the relationship. I'm content with them handling their own business and will not ever allow intentions of holding things over my head later. I guess I'm paranoid. Rightfully so, as I've been in relationships where these guys would suck the life out of me so to speak, as if watching me fall gave them the confidence they needed to become successful and leave me behind. Keep in mind I am always the one who leaves the relationships though. I may need to share responsibilities and let a man be a man. What can I say ? I want them to wear the pants, they just need to wear them better than me. LOL. Otherwise, im a boss financially and independently. I'm all about educated perspective. I'm way more on the thinking side than feeling. I'm logical. Perhaps I should have just invested my time in my business but I love to love. We want our lives to go a certain way (we live in the future) so we choose people we can see going the distance with us. Anyways, just a little insight from a woman ENTJ.
this concept of 'letting a man be a man' is built on conflating agency and strength with one biological sex...that of males. When people say 'wear the pants,' they are using another sexist conflation of ...well basically sex-segregated intra-relationship fascism. And it's not healthy. Is there a point here that is useful about treating people well? Sure! We ENTJs can work to ensure we are supporting healthy boundaries of our partner and our own boundaries, and we can cheer them on in their lives. ENTJs do not have to make themselves less than they are and diminish their strengths if they happen to be biologically women. ENTJs CAN work on always seeking other's opinions and desires and consent or dissent. ENTJS would do well to frame their educated suggestions for organizing on couple or group projects as educated suggestions. ENTJs can work on building their social and emotional intelligence skills and diplomacy. But this idea that my ENTJ siblings hafta feign a similarity to a social construct if they are women, well, it's inefficient, disrespectful, harmful, a waste, exploitative, laughable, tragic, and . . . has to go.
Hi Boss lady, you need to watch some Kevin Samuels god rest hos soul, you fit the stereotype of a strong single dog owner. Watch some of his content and realize what men actually want, so you'll get what you need.
@@jkidron I agree with everything Kevin Samuels says actually. I made this post about a year ago. Since then,. I have found someone to settle down with. . I've pretty much secluded myself from society because I do not have patience for it, I mind my business personally and business wise and have attracted a good man because I'm not miserable dealing with all that frustration. Lol.
As another ENTJ woman, I have all these issues with my past relationships as well. And it's really draining so I finally decided to focus on myself and my baby! "We want our lives to go a certain way (we live in the future) so we choose people we can see going the distance with us." I feel you there, we'll go get them!
I felt like my Ni was getting stronger just listening to an Ni-dom talk haha. You’re right- us ENTJs don’t always stop to evaluate whether an action is purposeful or not before doing it. I think INTJs often get to the same place that we do in life. They do less, but they focus on what’s important and tend to block out distractions better. Great video!
This video is amazing! I got ENTJ with nearly every test I took and I could not really relate because I see myself as quiet and more mellow. I have been reading up on cognitive functions and nothing fully clicked until I heard your explanations. I could relate 100%. I see now that I am very ENTJ. Thank you for clearing it all up for me.
I thought I was an intj until I realized I’m way more Te than Ni haha. I just thought I was a high Se intj, but a huge part of that was introversion due to depression, and a horrible Fi grip. Thank you for making these!
You're correct. I wasnt connected with my feels and thus i drift around a lot. I was in nursing school and was 2 semesters from finishing until i realized it wasn't for me. I went back to school and got my bachelor's in computer information systems. I work in IT and am currently getting my masters in systems engineering. My best friend who is a INFJ helped me connected with my feelings and im better intune with my feelings and intuition. People would never guess that im a ENTJ because i have learned to be more tactful and less intimidating/threatening.
Alexis is very thorough in explaining the background information on how different parts of the brain influence the 16 personality types in a very expedient and impressive manner. Very interesting.
Yooo ENTJ here, i do like fictional books BECAUSE i wanna make some myself 😎 and ur right i am very picky abt the stories i read they NEED to be good and believable
From my perspective, being an ENTJ sounds utterly exhausting! Admirable, but I think I’ll leave them to it, lol. And thinking on it, I don’t think I’ve met very many in my time. We could certainly use one around the office, though I doubt IT work interests many of them.
Hello! I am an ENTJ, and honestly it isn't always as glittery as people paint it to be. I never stop thinking about what to do next, I am constantly reading in order to feel productive, and my built up emotions overflow after a certain point. It's definitely exhausting, your brain just never completely relaxes (relaxing feels strange to me LOL). Yet I've noticed on youtube many people try to manifest this personality type! Add being a female on top of it, and I feel like a total outcast sometimes, but I'm okay with that :)
@@AlexisKingsley When my friend encouraged me to take the MBTI personality quiz I never wanted to. I'd joke about it, because I did not expect to gain anything insightful. I eventually took it, and it all made sense! I finally felt like something described me, and why I feel so different from most :)
One thing I have noticed with these videos on ENTJs is they talk a lot about how ENTJs are not people focused which I think is a bit of a misconception. For underdeveloped ENTJs this can definitely be true - they are the people who are more likely to bulldoze people to achieve their end goals (I think a lot of male CEOs fall into this category of people). However, I think self-aware ENTJs are fully conscious that the needs, particularly the emotional needs, of others are not their strong suit; but they are also aware that this is something that they need to improve on in a lot of spaces, in order to have the full impact in the external world that their Te function wants to have. I think this awareness causes a lot of ENTJs to be inclined toward understanding people and it becomes a very conscious goal. Most of the ENTJs I know, particularly women who are ENTJs, are HIGHLY conscious of how their dominant, go-getter attitude impacts people around them, and they often shape those goals and behaviours to help those around them, because they can be aware of the ways in which their natural pragmatism can be a huge aid to those they love and care about. And because many of these people have been told that people skills are not their strong suit, in typical ENTJ fashion, they do everything they can to better understand how people think and feel. I think ENTJs are very social people but usually stick to a close circle of friends that they would do anything for, I stress the DO anything for. I feel like the first thing an ENTJ will say when someone is having a rough time is "What can I do?" - honest, pragmatic and straightforward. But they will honestly do anything to help those that they value.
I want to share 2 things on my mind right now about my experience “being” an ENTJ. 1) I am obsessed with decision-making. (The process AND the execution. Though the latter quite a bit more). 2) I can be detached from my feelings, and I require external information to understand (verify/ deny/ become aware/ etc.) them. Example: just this morning, my brother was happy for me and I thought to myself, “That (being happy) ‘MUST’ be how I’m feeling right now.” How alien…
As a newly enlightened ENTJ lol. I realized I do self care because it made me more efficient Hahaah and it’s on my todo list! I understand it can be scary to Fi but I’ve found within the last year that it’s fueled my Te more and has given me a sense of a “stronger direction” for my personal life. When I look at my bookcase it’s mostly self improvement and metaphysics (my ISFP subconscious loves for it). I make time to dance by mysf and set a mood and really feel into my body to help my Fi. Been a game changer ❤ andddd I’m more patient now too!
really refreshing, efficient ;) video. Thank you. Side note: Every type leads in different ways. You're not a background character as an introvert. You're the lead character in an introspective, artsy film :) or novel. Introverts help lead me in their specialities in our world all the time, and it doesn't look the same as the stereotype of leading, and that doesn't negate that it's leading :). -ENTJ
As an ENTJ, the reason I like to make decisions that effect my external is because I need to see the impact and/or reaction to each decision. And not any decision to me is a final decision. I can make one choice, wait for the effect, then modify that choice or add to it based on that reaction. And in a sense, I am guiding those reactions to finally come to the final result. When I come to the result that is needed, I then like to experiment by purposefully seeing if I can make certain things work even though the chance is unlikely. And I like to find out why it doesn't work, that way I can gain the experience in knowing why something won't work, and what the solution is. And that is something that is noted in my mind. I could justify to others why certain things don't work a certain way, although I may still be in the process of figuring out why I was unable to develop that particular aspect fully. I think of this more in a business sense, also in the development of other people so that they could be a more efficient team and in order to do that I need to allow them to become more knowledgeable. I cannot just toss people to the trash without developing them because people that are already developed are already stuck in a way that won't help me potentially. It's easier to mold someone who lacks knowledge and ready to receive new knowledge and habits rather than breaking habits of someone who perceives knowledge.
I've taken the test for 12 years... an entj each time. I feel like people want to be us, but hate us. its weird. I just want to fit in and turn off my brain/need analyze/need to be productive and make real and fulfilling relationships. the grass is always greener, right?
I say embrace who you are at your best and work on where you are weak. I found as an ENTJ I've had to acknowledge and forgive myself where I'm weak to strengthen it. Hope it helps 😁
I think there’s a lot of ESTJ’s mistyped as ENTJ’s - tasks are not fun to ENTJ’s, being busy for the sake of being busy isn’t our ideal. ENTJ is goal oriented but it isn’t fulfilled by simply completing things - we prefer fewer, bigger goals with higher risks than ESTJ’s do; we also are not as interested in the procedure/process as we are the overall purpose. We’re happy to just skim the details of how a thing will take place. We also don’t have as many diverse passions. Whereas an estj might be the head of a bunch of different clubs or committee, they put in effort to all of them, also effort in their relationships, their finances, their appearance… ENTJ only puts efforts into the things we care about and we do not care about everything
Thank you for sharing your wisdom and insights, Alexis. I started working on my Fi in my 30s, right after I took the mbti (the official test). I am an “older” ENTJ now and I agree with you - young ENTJs should start working on that early-on, if possible. You can use wonderful mbti based coaching - like Alexis’ advice here, to help!
I don't really know about the function yet but I was laughing when you talked about reading books. Honestly! I told ppl I hated reading books and even I though I hated reading books but I read this somewhere that its not that you hate reading books its the genre you hate, so I was like....ooo..I started reading how to invest etc then I realised that I don't hate it but I am not like the other kids who like reading romance and fantasy especially if I am not learning anything from it.
I'm an INTP and ENTJ is my shadow type but I really relate to most of this video. It makes me think that maybe I don't fully understand introversion and extraversion like I thought. I've also agreed with most of the stereotypes about INTPs but some of them don't really match me, such as being very smart and clumsy. I'm actually great with my hands at work but often make factual mistakes in conversations (probably because I'm getting ahead of myself). I'm either a very extraverted INTP or a very introverted ENTJ. But the whole "I need to be productive to be liked" thing is straight out of my brain. I just don't feel very in charge or even that productive sometimes. But overindulging in the sensory is absolutely something I do. I also got into meditation as my secret weapon against stress in my late 20s. I had my own eBay business when I was a teen. I'm fairly good at directing people to do things when I need them to at work, but I don't have a leadership position (not anymore. I hated the attention) Shit, I might be an ENTJ
This was a great vid. I always knew I wanted to lead somehow. My life changed drastically and that's when I dove into my first love-psychology. Mind blown realized I was an entj🤔. That led me down a rabbit hole of absorbing so much info n realized my potential. Changed my life's trajectory n here I am F'ing with plants on youtube🤷♀️ My Fi started to soften up ssslloowwllyyy as I kept going to church. Frankly tbh I didn't see a need to soften up until Jesus kicked me with conviction. It's hard no doubt about that. My inner circle consists of INTJS and INFJ. I like ya 😉🌻
Entj, I did do life all wrong, hind site at 40. I remember the dreams of my youth. An I spent so much time building the foundation, instead of just enjoying the possibilities, my dreams. So now I feel rushed to chase dreams. While trying to work long hours.
My Te= apartment is means to an end My Fi= I feel loneeely we'll reach it some other way. This means to an end is not worth it!! Te: after half a year alr fine i see you. yes it might also be logical to do it as well (I know what i wanna do in life. But i do indeed struggle with knowing what i want in the moment. I didnt realize that i was missing someone and really hating my living conditions until therapist said so)
I am an ENTJ-A (a VERY strong one) and I can never get along with INTJs. All INTJs I met so far think I am narcissist. Just being an "I" instead of "E" makes a HUGE difference. I don't know if you really mean by "you admire ENTJs for...." because INTJs don't (can't) really see ENTJs well enough to judge us. I've tried to talk to INTJs a lot but never worked. They are stubborn with their ideas and not willing to change so I can't really talk to someone who has already "decided" what to do. I get along with INFJs really well but one letter difference makes a HUGE difference. The two top MBTI types I can't along are INTJs and ISTJs. (ISTJs are so narrow-minded - They can't think about anything that's not in their brain - the absolute opposite of ENTJs who are the best at thinking about what does not exist in their brains. Anyways, very surprised at you being an INTJ and say that you admire ENTJs. Thumbs up!
I'm an INFP who knows two ENTJs- one is a friend of mine and the other is my cousin. Both of them are so clearly in Te-Se loops, except my friend who is 24 and is getting good at adding in the Ni more now. She says she has already planned out multiple different options of the way her life could go, with financial budgets and everything of course so no matter what route she does, she gets what she wants, as she put it. But I would say she is definitely missing the Fi- I'm probably biased because I am literally an Fi dom lol but still, she has literally said things like "I don't need feelings" or "feelings are for the weak," as she prefers to just keep getting things done. Perhaps Fi will sneak up on her later in life. My cousin, on the other hand, is 17, and I do not believe they have really developed their Ni very much- and I doubt their Fi feelings have crossed their mind much especially. They just like to constantly move and get stuff done like you said- they are taking like 4 or 5 AP classes this year within their 8 class high school schedule, they are working 2 or 3 jobs, and they also volunteer at the local theater to boss people around even though they're not even the director lol. I've seen them do it. They also run several miles a day as a hobby. I've seen their calendar, it's FILLED to the point that every day has multiple things written in about assignments, job and volunteer responsibilities, and all kinds of other stuff. It's insane. I don't think they like to sit and reflect on where life is taking them or on their feelings lol. They're just running on pure drive and lots of RedBull in their clear Te-Se loop. Also side note, the benefit of having an ENTJ as a friend is she helps me with all kinds of things- including budgeting for my recent study abroad trip to Australia and New Zealand. That's why I like MBTI- I have learned as an INFP how to make friends with people I probably wouldn't have become friends with before- like an ENTJ, an ENTP, and an ISTJ. Oh, and two INTPs.
I am an ENTJ , nurse by profession,10years of experience, just sticking to band 5 nursing, and I get waaaay more money than nurses with 20yrs experience band 7, hell, I get more money than my boss after adding out the bonuses and stuff :))), waaaaaay more ,and to me this seems easy but somehow I feel bad for them for not seeing things my way, they could make so much more money...
I think a good way to get to Fi is with Ni. I used Ni a lot, and got closer to Fi. Found out i didn't want to go for the well paying career for the sake of it, found out that a lot of the things i used to do were kinda immoral. Got a lot more in touch with what i wanted by projecting myself into the future. Now it helps me a lot more. I am more in tune with everything.
I hear ya, I have an enfj best friend, and I do find myself aspiring to be like him, but I'm infj and those are kinda different when you really break it down, but he's cooler and I think better, so you gotta synergize those things instead of trying to be those things you don't have ✌️
Hello ma'am, I'm an entj and I'm currently 14 yrs. old. This helped me understand myself more, more so that I want to inform you about how well it was.
Stumbled across your channel by accident and am glad I did. Great info and I love your passion through your explanation. Keep up the awesome work Alexis!
Hey, Any chance of a video for the dual types?, My Myers Briggs tests always come back as dual personality types architect and commander. i definitely identify most with being an ambivert and can see myself in both and don't really think i'm more one than the other. A mix of both.
I think I toggle back and forward between ENTJ and INTJ, when I’m working and I took the test I got the ‘E’ and now since I’ve been pregnant and not working, I took the test and I got the ‘I’. 😂🤷🏽♀️ watch when I go back to work I’ll get the ‘E’. But when I did first take the test, I only scored 10% more in extroversion. I don’t have time for friendships but people are drawn to me in the workplace, now when they want to talk about work related plans, I’m all ears, but when they want to talk about how was my weekend…😑…hate it, I don’t make it obvious but it’s like nails on chalk board when you want to talk about stuff like that. So I normally give a short reply answer. Lol 😅 ….this one time at work, my coworker brought it to my attention but he says I never ask how his days been or how he’s doing, that I always just go straight to business. I laughed so hard because I never noticed that so it did teach me to slow down and be a little more personal with him. Lol but it’s so hard my mind is like let’s get straight to business. 😅 Also, I noticed I cannot be in subordinate positions for very long, that take charge mentality sees things that could be done differently and perhaps a little better but I try not to overstep boundaries. You know how work place politics goes. 🙄😅 our personality can be difficult to work with, I approach situations with plans and logic but somehow the more sensitive types think I’m being too bossy and forward. 🤨🤦🏽♀️ I do speak my mind and people get offended easily by me but it’s because I don’t see it as a big deal in discussing what’s on my mind and 90% of the time they do. We ENTJ’s have to be really cautious in our tone of voice and how we word things. Sometimes I just don’t care and I’ll say it anyways.
I agree with you about training the Ni. My ride from home to school (for high school and college) was 2 hours a day. And it unknowingly trained my Ni. Then, ride from home to work was 4 hours a day! And I'm forced to think about my day's decisions. I realized, some of the things I do are senseless and do not contribute to a longer goal. The next day, I have several tweaks ready for my projects and systems to make them better.
21:45 If you didn't hit the nail on the head! Now I find myself at 41 transitioning into a new career after climbing the corporate ladder for the past 20 years. Only to find out it was not what I truly wanted (just happened to be good at it).
as intp, entj is probably my favorite type. i used to try so hard to be entj. it worked for a while, but i became borderline sociopathic and i got exhausted 🤣
I started to integrate the Fi around 30 (5 years ago) and I started doing yoga, journaling and other activities you mentioned. It was and still is hard to do, since I need to presure myself to "stop". I also always thought that my Ni is great, but I used it just to complete tasks, nothing that deep. It seems that after you "conquer"/integrate your 4th function you finally start to do the 2nd properly and match the 1st in strenght. Great video and accurate.
It would appear the most vilified tips these days would be the intj, estj, and entj.Gengus Khan, Caesar, Napoleon, and FDR. Closest thing I can think of fictional entj protagonist are Princess Leia and Athena.
I’m really stuffed on how much I was served here. Num num num best chef in town. It was so fun and uniquely analysis/analogy informative I really enjoyed it. You’re weird and funny too and for sure will be returning for your on screen notes to reference. Thanks for this!
LMAO. I just revisited the "ur my type" after a few months. An ESTJ found me, so I greet her back (she was looking for only relationship btw.). I explained my problem with people on the app can't have a genuine conversation. So her first question was "what do you for living", instant turn off. This is a genuine conversation for you ESTJs?
I loved your video. "What do you want out of the next sixty years of your life?" Dudette, who has sixty more years? Is all your audience in their teens? 😲
My daughter is an INTJ in a relationship with an ENTJ. Will you be doing any relationship videos that give some insight into the benefits and pitfalls of certain matches as well as long-term viability?
@@cedriceric9730 In the case of INTJ females, they can be very selective and difficult to impress while ENTJ males seem to have no trouble meeting their standards.
I feel like my entire life is managed by my Ni, so I find your interpretation of how we use Ni interesting, hmmmmmmm. not how i would have described it
Ok so, I need your opinion. When I was younger, I tested as an ISTJ BUT I really needed to make more friends and to be more social and so I developed an ENFP type. Recently I took the test and got ENTJ. Do you believe that the childhood personality is the real one if there is a real personality at all?
Very interesting what you say about relationships (at the end of the video) and that it doesn't work: if you are with someone who uses your opposite functions, or is an opposite personality, it works ... ;-)
what hard to narrowing down what personality type i m is very hard i don't know if i'm a entj or enfj because i share there traits equally i ack like a entj with my mum but an enfj with my friend at the same time . my career bath that i want to take is something an enfj would take and i have both te and fe but the probably because i'm still 11
I was typed infj on myers briggs and typed intj on cloverleaf, iv done allot of research on the infj compared to the intj and I'm almost certain I'm intj based on what I have read is there any concrete way I can narrow this down. Or is it possible to have both traits? 🤔
I am entj so this is a huge compliment when I say this. Kinda clickbaity but not too much. You speak fast but coherent and clear. Very huge plus. Ok I'm only at 2:44 of your video maybe I should just finish the rest 😆
I'm 40, so I relate a lot to your point of balance. I honestly don't think I would be very intelligent if I didn't have a good balance of intuition. I use that to decide what I'm going to do next. If I was extraverted only, I feel like I would be going about the world interacting but not understanding.
As an Entj, there is nothing I love more than my to-do-list
:/
Yeeeees girl
ENTJs - capable of achieving anything...except figuring out who they truly are 🤫
I'm an ENTJ and I know who I am. ;-)
Indeed
That's the first line people tell me and. I believe lmao
I'm an ENTJ-A who's always been connected to my deep inside and I sure do know myself very well.
@@hala2963 the same case here... congrats, you are a healthy ENTJ
I'm an ENTJ, and this is one of the ENTJ videos I don't play at 1.5x.
I really appreciate the Se and Te of this video. It's well organized and pleasing to the eyes. The notes are written on the side, with a blackboard background for the notes which has been planned beforehand.
I think I developed my Ni early on (because of childhood stuff), but it was only after college where I started to develop my Fi.
Journaling really helped a lot! For looking in the future, and regulating my emotions.
Walks in parks are nice too for Fi! .
Yeah, I didn't have to play it at 1.5x XD
She is already on 2x
She speaks fast enough so 1.5X would be too fast, maybe? ;-)
Dude what? I am on 2.3x and it's still slow
ENTJ to ENTJs. The cliched statement about slowing down and figuring out what you want is the one and only advice you need to follow through. And you actually need to SIT STILL and THINK about things or people, and how you want them to play out.
I'm 10 years in an industry, I have a fantastic resume, and I am at the point in life: "WTF am I doing? Am I happy?"
So my advice is to imagine yourself as a free-spirited and happy ISFP and move towards that person in the future. Or at least find a leeway to engage in your hobbies regularly.
Alexis! You rock! Thanks for the video!
I'm on the same boat as we speak. Everything right now feels like a crucial decision as to what I'm going to do for the rest of my life. Because I'm at the point where I'm no longer going to waste any time.
ENTJ with Enneagram 8. The ability to smash obstacles with shere force of will and organize people came in true colors when I left my job and opened my business with a 15 year vision ahead in my mind. Just imagining the future gives me goosebumps every day. Back then I didn't know anything about this so I investigated a bit. I think my ENTJ activated fully 2 years ago.
Interesting. I'm an INTJ with Enneagram 5. Part of being better as a 5 is to more like an 8. And part of being a better INTJ is being a little more like an ENTJ. So I'm a better me by being more like you. Thanks for sharing. I always find ENTJs interesting.
entj e8 doesnt exist
This makes so much sense. As an ENTJ I'm usually so focus driven on goals and plans but as my "healthy release" I love to dance to EDM in a privet dance floor complete with supper loud sound system and lots of club lights. It now makes sense why I flood myself with sensory over load as a way of detaching and purely soaking in the present.
Wow
I do the same.
My mother would always tell me how efficient I am and how much she loves working with me when I help her what around the house or do stuff for her, such as building a complete Ikea PAX set worth 7 grand within a couple of hours. Her partner, an ESTP, would take forever, do it wrong, crooked, carelessly, give up half way, lose parts, not go by instructions. With instructions, I build things like Legos, relentlessly, no stopping until it's done. This is how I view my life. If I can figure out the proper instructions (guidance) to build my life; whether it's finances, relationships, friendships, health routines, meal preps, etc.-I'd literally be the electric cars of humans, a bit robotic-like with an adjustable speed knob that has also has a "burnout" sensor, so that I'm able to hit limits all the time without burnout, and win at anything. I love it
"Sometimes the most effective thing is to have fun."
That's gold and it's so true.
Yes and we as entjs really need to understand that!
Every test I've taken I'm always ENTJ for the past like 15 years, I was an INTJ one moment when I was a little depressed, which turns me more inward, so I made it a rule to only take the test in a good or neutral mood... I notice I have to slow myself down as an ENTJ, like I HAVE to, or I'll burn out, which I hate too, I have to manually slow myself down, while most ppl are slobs...who pretend they're busy, they want to be ENTJs but will never be, so theyre a bit of imposters which angers me, cuz there's only certain truly busy go getters, the rest are slowly functioning people taking all day to do simple nothing's
Sorry but here is a fact. I got divorced once (terrible one that lasted 5+ years - still on-going losing millions of dollars); Going to start the second divorce; The business I am running is my 13th one, meaning all the past 12 failed badly; My business ex-partner sued me and the company (the one right now) and it lasted 2.5 years losing millions of dollars due to litigation costs and settlement costs; Lost my mother when I was in my 20's, whom I really loved.... All my family members ditched me because I ditched my family religion. (I have ZERO communications with all my family members, relatives and close friends since 2017). I probably faced more chaos and disasters than most people around the World but I was never depressed - I probably was somewhat depressed a few times but that would not affect me as near as being an Introvert at all. ENTJs are so sure-footed at all times they will not back off or allow them to be depressed. If you tested yourself as ENTJs for many times , then maybe you have a tendency of admiring ENTJs so you tend to answer "that way". I mean, I can take the test so I could be any of the 16 types at ease. All I have to answer is "how". E-I, S-N, T-F, J-P are very easily distinguishable when answering to questions. What I am trying to say is even if you are an INTJ you could easily answer the questions so you would be an extrovert instead of an introvert. Here is the truth about ENTJs. No matter how bad the situation they are in they would NEVER answer to the questions so the result could come out as an Introvert. There is NO WAY. You really don't know ENTJs. ENTJs don't think that way. Even the hardest obstacles can't change the way they think. If you came out as an INTJ when you were depressed, then you ARE an INTJ because ENTJs, no matter how depressed they are, the result will NEVER come out as an Introvert. Period. P.S. I know very well about INTJs and all the INTJs I met are quite sentimental, soft-hearted and emotional and YES they often get depressed and they "get" affected by it. So I have no doubt to believe that you are really an INTJ. ENTJs are FAR from being sentimental/emotional and get depressed to the point it gets on them. Yes, they "can" become sentimental/emotional/depressed but only very lightly, for a very short period of time and they do not get affected by it.
P.S. ONE very good way of distinguishing whether you are an ENTJ or not is - If someone is really an ENTJ and if they read/see description of an ENTJ, then they will readily say "YES!!! I am INDEED an ENTJ 100000%!!!" ENTJs are the most decisive of all the types there is nothing like "maybe I am an ENTJ, maybe not..." or "I think I am an ENTJ...". No such thing. All the other 15 types "MAY" think they could be one or the other but ENTJ is the most definite type that you CANNOT be mistaken with something else. If you are unsure, then you are NOT an ENTJ. If you have doubts, then you are NOT an ENTJ. If you test yourself and sometimes it comes out as an ENTJ but some other times it comes out as something else, then you are NOT an ENTJ, Just read or watch videos about ENTJs. ENTJs are SO sure you CANNOT be mistaken with something else. Out of all the videos I watched so far I think THIS would be the most accurate description of an ENTJ. Watch this video and if all 8 topis discussed in this video fits you perfectly (not "maybe" but "perfectly"), then YOU ARE an ENTJ. If not, then sorry but you are NOT. ruclips.net/video/Sv8WTw3Dd1Q/видео.html

I wasn't sure for a while whether I was INTJ or ENTJ. Knowing my relationship with Te, I realize I'm an INTJ, but I always wanted to be ENTJ. I'm more accepting of being an INTJ who mimics ENTJ on occasions. I also try to mimic ESFP on social occasions, although, it probably looks a little dorky. I do enjoy each of your videos on the different types. It has made it easier to understand other people.
I literally tested an intj but I'm trying to become more of an entj. While someone on the internet observed that I use more of Se & Fi? So they said I'm an ESFP
@@crimsonmatter It took me a while to figure out my type. It took several tests. I think on rare occasions outside of work I can come across as an ESFP. I have a boring job, especially for an INTJ, so I end up experimenting as ESFP to break up the boredom. My team loves it.
Why the hell would you want to be more like any other type?? Use what you got to compensate for what you don't have, that stuff will just make you get an imposter syndrome. Turn your perceived faults into values, it isn't about getting a new tool, but getting the most of it from what you got.
You take the test and find out duh
@@_baller ROFLOL. You should have read all the comments before you made that comment.
As an ENTJ woman I do get shit done. However, im highly impatient when wanting people to get to the point. I'm still working on that, it used to be a need. The main problem area for me is my personal relationships with men. I can't seem to get that right. Its very frustrating. I struggle with giving my partner a part in the relationship. I'm content with them handling their own business and will not ever allow intentions of holding things over my head later. I guess I'm paranoid. Rightfully so, as I've been in relationships where these guys would suck the life out of me so to speak, as if watching me fall gave them the confidence they needed to become successful and leave me behind. Keep in mind I am always the one who leaves the relationships though. I may need to share responsibilities and let a man be a man. What can I say ? I want them to wear the pants, they just need to wear them better than me. LOL. Otherwise, im a boss financially and independently. I'm all about educated perspective. I'm way more on the thinking side than feeling. I'm logical. Perhaps I should have just invested my time in my business but I love to love. We want our lives to go a certain way (we live in the future) so we choose people we can see going the distance with us. Anyways, just a little insight from a woman ENTJ.
this concept of 'letting a man be a man' is built on conflating agency and strength with one biological sex...that of males. When people say 'wear the pants,' they are using another sexist conflation of ...well basically sex-segregated intra-relationship fascism. And it's not healthy. Is there a point here that is useful about treating people well? Sure! We ENTJs can work to ensure we are supporting healthy boundaries of our partner and our own boundaries, and we can cheer them on in their lives. ENTJs do not have to make themselves less than they are and diminish their strengths if they happen to be biologically women. ENTJs CAN work on always seeking other's opinions and desires and consent or dissent. ENTJS would do well to frame their educated suggestions for organizing on couple or group projects as educated suggestions. ENTJs can work on building their social and emotional intelligence skills and diplomacy. But this idea that my ENTJ siblings hafta feign a similarity to a social construct if they are women, well, it's inefficient, disrespectful, harmful, a waste, exploitative, laughable, tragic, and . . . has to go.
Hi Boss lady, you need to watch some Kevin Samuels god rest hos soul, you fit the stereotype of a strong single dog owner.
Watch some of his content and realize what men actually want, so you'll get what you need.
@@jkidron I agree with everything Kevin Samuels says actually. I made this post about a year ago. Since then,. I have found someone to settle down with. . I've pretty much secluded myself from society because I do not have patience for it, I mind my business personally and business wise and have attracted a good man because I'm not miserable dealing with all that frustration. Lol.
You don't have to buy into the 'wearing the pants' sex segregation false dichotomy.
As another ENTJ woman, I have all these issues with my past relationships as well. And it's really draining so I finally decided to focus on myself and my baby! "We want our lives to go a certain way (we live in the future) so we choose people we can see going the distance with us." I feel you there, we'll go get them!
I felt like my Ni was getting stronger just listening to an Ni-dom talk haha. You’re right- us ENTJs don’t always stop to evaluate whether an action is purposeful or not before doing it. I think INTJs often get to the same place that we do in life. They do less, but they focus on what’s important and tend to block out distractions better. Great video!
This video is amazing! I got ENTJ with nearly every test I took and I could not really relate because I see myself as quiet and more mellow. I have been reading up on cognitive functions and nothing fully clicked until I heard your explanations. I could relate 100%. I see now that I am very ENTJ. Thank you for clearing it all up for me.
Don't try to be someone else. Just be the best version of you that you can be.
It's frightening how accurate this is
The best video on Entj. Hands down.
I’m an INTJ female and I see so much of myself in you. Mannerisms, the way you talk, tone of voice, vocabulary… it’s kind of eerie.
I thought I was an intj until I realized I’m way more Te than Ni haha. I just thought I was a high Se intj, but a huge part of that was introversion due to depression, and a horrible Fi grip.
Thank you for making these!
You're correct. I wasnt connected with my feels and thus i drift around a lot. I was in nursing school and was 2 semesters from finishing until i realized it wasn't for me. I went back to school and got my bachelor's in computer information systems. I work in IT and am currently getting my masters in systems engineering. My best friend who is a INFJ helped me connected with my feelings and im better intune with my feelings and intuition. People would never guess that im a ENTJ because i have learned to be more tactful and less intimidating/threatening.
ENTJ and IT is match made in heaven.
from: me, an ENTJ who also work in IT..
I am an ISTP and I want my introverted thinking to replace with extroverted thinking!
Alexis is very thorough in explaining the background information on how different parts of the brain influence the 16 personality types in a very expedient and impressive manner. Very interesting.
Yooo ENTJ here, i do like fictional books BECAUSE i wanna make some myself 😎 and ur right i am very picky abt the stories i read they NEED to be good and believable
I feel like "project" is a common word for ENTJs
lol
From my perspective, being an ENTJ sounds utterly exhausting! Admirable, but I think I’ll leave them to it, lol. And thinking on it, I don’t think I’ve met very many in my time. We could certainly use one around the office, though I doubt IT work interests many of them.
😂I don't think I've met very many either!
Hello! I am an ENTJ, and honestly it isn't always as glittery as people paint it to be. I never stop thinking about what to do next, I am constantly reading in order to feel productive, and my built up emotions overflow after a certain point. It's definitely exhausting, your brain just never completely relaxes (relaxing feels strange to me LOL). Yet I've noticed on youtube many people try to manifest this personality type! Add being a female on top of it, and I feel like a total outcast sometimes, but I'm okay with that :)
@@maheenium Wow! I believe being a female ENTJ is the most rare delineation.
@@AlexisKingsley When my friend encouraged me to take the MBTI personality quiz I never wanted to. I'd joke about it, because I did not expect to gain anything insightful. I eventually took it, and it all made sense! I finally felt like something described me, and why I feel so different from most :)
@@maheenium same 😂
When I was young I led a rebellion at summer camp and organized the kids into a game that was more fun than what the adults had us doing. Ha. So Entj
Parfume is my indulgences 😊
My mom too- she's entj
One thing I have noticed with these videos on ENTJs is they talk a lot about how ENTJs are not people focused which I think is a bit of a misconception. For underdeveloped ENTJs this can definitely be true - they are the people who are more likely to bulldoze people to achieve their end goals (I think a lot of male CEOs fall into this category of people).
However, I think self-aware ENTJs are fully conscious that the needs, particularly the emotional needs, of others are not their strong suit; but they are also aware that this is something that they need to improve on in a lot of spaces, in order to have the full impact in the external world that their Te function wants to have. I think this awareness causes a lot of ENTJs to be inclined toward understanding people and it becomes a very conscious goal. Most of the ENTJs I know, particularly women who are ENTJs, are HIGHLY conscious of how their dominant, go-getter attitude impacts people around them, and they often shape those goals and behaviours to help those around them, because they can be aware of the ways in which their natural pragmatism can be a huge aid to those they love and care about. And because many of these people have been told that people skills are not their strong suit, in typical ENTJ fashion, they do everything they can to better understand how people think and feel.
I think ENTJs are very social people but usually stick to a close circle of friends that they would do anything for, I stress the DO anything for. I feel like the first thing an ENTJ will say when someone is having a rough time is "What can I do?" - honest, pragmatic and straightforward. But they will honestly do anything to help those that they value.
But honestly this is the best ENTJ deep dive I've seen - thank you so much!
I want to share 2 things on my mind right now about my experience “being” an ENTJ.
1) I am obsessed with decision-making. (The process AND the execution. Though the latter quite a bit more).
2) I can be detached from my feelings, and I require external information to understand (verify/ deny/ become aware/ etc.) them.
Example: just this morning, my brother was happy for me and I thought to myself, “That (being happy) ‘MUST’ be how I’m feeling right now.” How alien…
As a newly enlightened ENTJ lol. I realized I do self care because it made me more efficient Hahaah and it’s on my todo list! I understand it can be scary to Fi but I’ve found within the last year that it’s fueled my Te more and has given me a sense of a “stronger direction” for my personal life. When I look at my bookcase it’s mostly self improvement and metaphysics (my ISFP subconscious loves for it). I make time to dance by mysf and set a mood and really feel into my body to help my Fi. Been a game changer ❤ andddd I’m more patient now too!
really refreshing, efficient ;) video. Thank you. Side note: Every type leads in different ways. You're not a background character as an introvert. You're the lead character in an introspective, artsy film :) or novel. Introverts help lead me in their specialities in our world all the time, and it doesn't look the same as the stereotype of leading, and that doesn't negate that it's leading :). -ENTJ
I love the way you structure and explain your videos. I find it quite well balanced
Thankyou for explaining the different parts in detail with your INTJ intelligence :)
As an ENTJ, the reason I like to make decisions that effect my external is because I need to see the impact and/or reaction to each decision. And not any decision to me is a final decision. I can make one choice, wait for the effect, then modify that choice or add to it based on that reaction. And in a sense, I am guiding those reactions to finally come to the final result. When I come to the result that is needed, I then like to experiment by purposefully seeing if I can make certain things work even though the chance is unlikely. And I like to find out why it doesn't work, that way I can gain the experience in knowing why something won't work, and what the solution is. And that is something that is noted in my mind. I could justify to others why certain things don't work a certain way, although I may still be in the process of figuring out why I was unable to develop that particular aspect fully. I think of this more in a business sense, also in the development of other people so that they could be a more efficient team and in order to do that I need to allow them to become more knowledgeable. I cannot just toss people to the trash without developing them because people that are already developed are already stuck in a way that won't help me potentially. It's easier to mold someone who lacks knowledge and ready to receive new knowledge and habits rather than breaking habits of someone who perceives knowledge.
Best explanation on the subject I’ve found.
I'm ENFJ but enneagram 8 so I have a lot of characteristic of ENTJ which is helpful sometimes😉😊
I've taken the test for 12 years... an entj each time.
I feel like people want to be us, but hate us. its weird. I just want to fit in and turn off my brain/need analyze/need to be productive and make real and fulfilling relationships.
the grass is always greener, right?
I say embrace who you are at your best and work on where you are weak. I found as an ENTJ I've had to acknowledge and forgive myself where I'm weak to strengthen it. Hope it helps 😁
I think there’s a lot of ESTJ’s mistyped as ENTJ’s - tasks are not fun to ENTJ’s, being busy for the sake of being busy isn’t our ideal. ENTJ is goal oriented but it isn’t fulfilled by simply completing things - we prefer fewer, bigger goals with higher risks than ESTJ’s do; we also are not as interested in the procedure/process as we are the overall purpose. We’re happy to just skim the details of how a thing will take place. We also don’t have as many diverse passions. Whereas an estj might be the head of a bunch of different clubs or committee, they put in effort to all of them, also effort in their relationships, their finances, their appearance… ENTJ only puts efforts into the things we care about and we do not care about everything
Thank you for sharing your wisdom and insights, Alexis. I started working on my Fi in my 30s, right after I took the mbti (the official test). I am an “older” ENTJ now and I agree with you - young ENTJs should start working on that early-on, if possible. You can use wonderful mbti based coaching - like Alexis’ advice here, to help!
Very smart girl I can sincerely appreciate the fact that your trying to help others. Good for you girl. Keep showing the world your best self!
I don't really know about the function yet but I was laughing when you talked about reading books. Honestly! I told ppl I hated reading books and even I though I hated reading books but I read this somewhere that its not that you hate reading books its the genre you hate, so I was like....ooo..I started reading how to invest etc then I realised that I don't hate it but I am not like the other kids who like reading romance and fantasy especially if I am not learning anything from it.
omg i've read the theory a thousand times but could never remember the logic until you just described it. omg. can we be friends.
I'm an INTP and ENTJ is my shadow type but I really relate to most of this video. It makes me think that maybe I don't fully understand introversion and extraversion like I thought. I've also agreed with most of the stereotypes about INTPs but some of them don't really match me, such as being very smart and clumsy. I'm actually great with my hands at work but often make factual mistakes in conversations (probably because I'm getting ahead of myself). I'm either a very extraverted INTP or a very introverted ENTJ. But the whole "I need to be productive to be liked" thing is straight out of my brain. I just don't feel very in charge or even that productive sometimes. But overindulging in the sensory is absolutely something I do. I also got into meditation as my secret weapon against stress in my late 20s. I had my own eBay business when I was a teen. I'm fairly good at directing people to do things when I need them to at work, but I don't have a leadership position (not anymore. I hated the attention) Shit, I might be an ENTJ
This was a great vid. I always knew I wanted to lead somehow. My life changed drastically and that's when I dove into my first love-psychology. Mind blown realized I was an entj🤔. That led me down a rabbit hole of absorbing so much info n realized my potential. Changed my life's trajectory n here I am F'ing with plants on youtube🤷♀️
My Fi started to soften up ssslloowwllyyy as I kept going to church. Frankly tbh I didn't see a need to soften up until Jesus kicked me with conviction. It's hard no doubt about that. My inner circle consists of INTJS and INFJ. I like ya 😉🌻
My Ni "how will this relationship be? How has it been before? Hmmm, how would these things play out?"
Entj, I did do life all wrong, hind site at 40. I remember the dreams of my youth. An I spent so much time building the foundation, instead of just enjoying the possibilities, my dreams.
So now I feel rushed to chase dreams. While trying to work long hours.
I'm an intj in a relationship with entj male. He says the alien friends copied eachothers paper in exam while creating the two of us lol.
My Te= apartment is means to an end
My Fi= I feel loneeely we'll reach it some other way. This means to an end is not worth it!!
Te: after half a year alr fine i see you. yes it might also be logical to do it as well
(I know what i wanna do in life. But i do indeed struggle with knowing what i want in the moment. I didnt realize that i was missing someone and really hating my living conditions until therapist said so)
I am an ENTJ-A (a VERY strong one) and I can never get along with INTJs. All INTJs I met so far think I am narcissist. Just being an "I" instead of "E" makes a HUGE difference. I don't know if you really mean by "you admire ENTJs for...." because INTJs don't (can't) really see ENTJs well enough to judge us. I've tried to talk to INTJs a lot but never worked. They are stubborn with their ideas and not willing to change so I can't really talk to someone who has already "decided" what to do. I get along with INFJs really well but one letter difference makes a HUGE difference. The two top MBTI types I can't along are INTJs and ISTJs. (ISTJs are so narrow-minded - They can't think about anything that's not in their brain - the absolute opposite of ENTJs who are the best at thinking about what does not exist in their brains. Anyways, very surprised at you being an INTJ and say that you admire ENTJs. Thumbs up!
I'm an INFP who knows two ENTJs- one is a friend of mine and the other is my cousin. Both of them are so clearly in Te-Se loops, except my friend who is 24 and is getting good at adding in the Ni more now. She says she has already planned out multiple different options of the way her life could go, with financial budgets and everything of course so no matter what route she does, she gets what she wants, as she put it. But I would say she is definitely missing the Fi- I'm probably biased because I am literally an Fi dom lol but still, she has literally said things like "I don't need feelings" or "feelings are for the weak," as she prefers to just keep getting things done. Perhaps Fi will sneak up on her later in life.
My cousin, on the other hand, is 17, and I do not believe they have really developed their Ni very much- and I doubt their Fi feelings have crossed their mind much especially. They just like to constantly move and get stuff done like you said- they are taking like 4 or 5 AP classes this year within their 8 class high school schedule, they are working 2 or 3 jobs, and they also volunteer at the local theater to boss people around even though they're not even the director lol. I've seen them do it. They also run several miles a day as a hobby. I've seen their calendar, it's FILLED to the point that every day has multiple things written in about assignments, job and volunteer responsibilities, and all kinds of other stuff. It's insane. I don't think they like to sit and reflect on where life is taking them or on their feelings lol. They're just running on pure drive and lots of RedBull in their clear Te-Se loop.
Also side note, the benefit of having an ENTJ as a friend is she helps me with all kinds of things- including budgeting for my recent study abroad trip to Australia and New Zealand. That's why I like MBTI- I have learned as an INFP how to make friends with people I probably wouldn't have become friends with before- like an ENTJ, an ENTP, and an ISTJ. Oh, and two INTPs.
I am an ENTJ , nurse by profession,10years of experience, just sticking to band 5 nursing, and I get waaaay more money than nurses with 20yrs experience band 7, hell, I get more money than my boss after adding out the bonuses and stuff :))), waaaaaay more ,and to me this seems easy but somehow I feel bad for them for not seeing things my way, they could make so much more money...
I think a good way to get to Fi is with Ni. I used Ni a lot, and got closer to Fi.
Found out i didn't want to go for the well paying career for the sake of it, found out that a lot of the things i used to do were kinda immoral. Got a lot more in touch with what i wanted by projecting myself into the future. Now it helps me a lot more. I am more in tune with everything.
I hear ya, I have an enfj best friend, and I do find myself aspiring to be like him, but I'm infj and those are kinda different when you really break it down, but he's cooler and I think better, so you gotta synergize those things instead of trying to be those things you don't have ✌️
I haven't seen your content before, gave it a click. I'm so glad I gave it a chance. Great in depth insights. Subscribed.
This is the best presentation of the functions pattern mechanism ❤️⚘️
Hello ma'am, I'm an entj and I'm currently 14 yrs. old. This helped me understand myself more, more so that I want to inform you about how well it was.
Classic that you are 14 and already know you are an ENTJ😅
Entj here. Very good and detailed analysis! I totally agree upon the age factor.
Great video - spot on. Thanks for this analysis.
My son’s an ENTJ. You must know him personally!
I found your channel because of your planning content ( 2022 goals) but your ENTJ video described me in the 90 percentile. Interesting.
Stumbled across your channel by accident and am glad I did. Great info and I love your passion through your explanation. Keep up the awesome work Alexis!
agree, i admire entj. -intj
Hey, Any chance of a video for the dual types?, My Myers Briggs tests always come back as dual personality types architect and commander. i definitely identify most with being an ambivert and can see myself in both and don't really think i'm more one than the other. A mix of both.
Here is my commander vs architect video! ruclips.net/video/S1v3S83ljQ8/видео.html
You are probably ENTJ, INTJ rarely go extrovert while ENTJ can easily dip to introvert mode.
I think I toggle back and forward between ENTJ and INTJ, when I’m working and I took the test I got the ‘E’ and now since I’ve been pregnant and not working, I took the test and I got the ‘I’. 😂🤷🏽♀️ watch when I go back to work I’ll get the ‘E’. But when I did first take the test, I only scored 10% more in extroversion. I don’t have time for friendships but people are drawn to me in the workplace, now when they want to talk about work related plans, I’m all ears, but when they want to talk about how was my weekend…😑…hate it, I don’t make it obvious but it’s like nails on chalk board when you want to talk about stuff like that. So I normally give a short reply answer. Lol 😅 ….this one time at work, my coworker brought it to my attention but he says I never ask how his days been or how he’s doing, that I always just go straight to business. I laughed so hard because I never noticed that so it did teach me to slow down and be a little more personal with him. Lol but it’s so hard my mind is like let’s get straight to business. 😅
Also, I noticed I cannot be in subordinate positions for very long, that take charge mentality sees things that could be done differently and perhaps a little better but I try not to overstep boundaries. You know how work place politics goes. 🙄😅 our personality can be difficult to work with, I approach situations with plans and logic but somehow the more sensitive types think I’m being too bossy and forward. 🤨🤦🏽♀️ I do speak my mind and people get offended easily by me but it’s because I don’t see it as a big deal in discussing what’s on my mind and 90% of the time they do. We ENTJ’s have to be really cautious in our tone of voice and how we word things. Sometimes I just don’t care and I’ll say it anyways.
You feel INTJ
I agree with you about training the Ni.
My ride from home to school (for high school and college) was 2 hours a day. And it unknowingly trained my Ni.
Then, ride from home to work was 4 hours a day! And I'm forced to think about my day's decisions. I realized, some of the things I do are senseless and do not contribute to a longer goal. The next day, I have several tweaks ready for my projects and systems to make them better.
21:45 If you didn't hit the nail on the head! Now I find myself at 41 transitioning into a new career after climbing the corporate ladder for the past 20 years. Only to find out it was not what I truly wanted (just happened to be good at it).
as intp, entj is probably my favorite type. i used to try so hard to be entj. it worked for a while, but i became borderline sociopathic and i got exhausted 🤣
I started to integrate the Fi around 30 (5 years ago) and I started doing yoga, journaling and other activities you mentioned. It was and still is hard to do, since I need to presure myself to "stop". I also always thought that my Ni is great, but I used it just to complete tasks, nothing that deep. It seems that after you "conquer"/integrate your 4th function you finally start to do the 2nd properly and match the 1st in strenght. Great video and accurate.
Interesting perspective, thank you for sharing.
ENTJ heading toward 60, and i never had a long term goal other than money and freedom. not sure what i think about it, to be honest.
It would appear the most vilified tips these days would be the intj, estj, and entj.Gengus Khan, Caesar, Napoleon, and FDR. Closest thing I can think of fictional entj protagonist are Princess Leia and Athena.
Another great video. I am just starting to understand position influence on the functions. Thanks. 💙
✋pathological extravert here. spend too much money.
I’m really stuffed on how much I was served here. Num num num best chef in town. It was so fun and uniquely analysis/analogy informative I really enjoyed it. You’re weird and funny too and for sure will be returning for your on screen notes to reference. Thanks for this!
LMAO. I just revisited the "ur my type" after a few months. An ESTJ found me, so I greet her back (she was looking for only relationship btw.). I explained my problem with people on the app can't have a genuine conversation. So her first question was "what do you for living", instant turn off. This is a genuine conversation for you ESTJs?
I loved your video.
"What do you want out of the next sixty years of your life?" Dudette, who has sixty more years? Is all your audience in their teens? 😲
The majority according to my analytics are 18-25 :)
@@AlexisKingsley Oh my God. How does RUclips know their age?

@@AlexisKingsley Oh, ok. Btw, I might be your oldest watcher. I'm sixty. I know, that sounds awful, but it's not so bad.

I am a Myers decedent great video. I am an ENTJ
My daughter is an INTJ in a relationship with an ENTJ. Will you be doing any relationship videos that give some insight into the benefits and pitfalls of certain matches as well as long-term viability?
I'm about to do a types FAQ series, and I believe that may be an INTJ faq

@@cedriceric9730 In the case of INTJ females, they can be very selective and difficult to impress while ENTJ males seem to have no trouble meeting their standards.
INTJ+ENTJ relationship???... too boring... I think. ;-)
Appreciate the content. Well done 👍
good introduction to the topic
I feel like my entire life is managed by my Ni, so I find your interpretation of how we use Ni interesting, hmmmmmmm. not how i would have described it
Ok so, I need your opinion. When I was younger, I tested as an ISTJ BUT I really needed to make more friends and to be more social and so I developed an ENFP type. Recently I took the test and got ENTJ. Do you believe that the childhood personality is the real one if there is a real personality at all?
lmao dont do tests at all
Very interesting what you say about relationships (at the end of the video) and that it doesn't work: if you are with someone who uses your opposite functions, or is an opposite personality, it works ... ;-)
as Entj i hate to do list. I just know what to do 😗
다른 나라 외국인들도 mbti 같이 몰입해줘서 너무 고맙다 땡.큐. ㅋㅋㅋㅋ - Corea entj -
Of course!
I am an ENTJ.
Me also, Nice to meet you 🙂
@@hashemmadinah488 That's great! :)

@@ManOfPlace What does that mean?
what hard to narrowing down what personality type i m is very hard i don't know if i'm a entj or enfj because i share there traits equally i ack like a entj with my mum but an enfj with my friend at the same time . my career bath that i want to take is something an enfj would take and i have both te and fe but the probably because i'm still 11
I was typed infj on myers briggs and typed intj on cloverleaf, iv done allot of research on the infj compared to the intj and I'm almost certain I'm intj based on what I have read is there any concrete way I can narrow this down. Or is it possible to have both traits? 🤔
Hi Alexis, is there a way we can connect so you can confirm or help me find my personality type? Do you provide coaching? Thanks in advance!
well done!
I’m a entj female let’s be friends intj?😂❣️
I am not sure whether I am entj or estj. I got 40% ESTj and 14% ENTJ result using the test.
Turn inward? Sit and do nothing, who does that? I cant even read a book without listening to music at the same time. Need my stimuli 😂
You kind of know if you’re an ENTJ, you take the test and it’s like - oh I guess I’m not an asshole 😊

I am ENTJ but i feel that i am introvert
My fiance says I remind him of a healthy version of Cartman from Southpark 😏
I am entj so this is a huge compliment when I say this. Kinda clickbaity but not too much. You speak fast but coherent and clear. Very huge plus. Ok I'm only at 2:44 of your video maybe I should just finish the rest 😆
I'm 40, so I relate a lot to your point of balance. I honestly don't think I would be very intelligent if I didn't have a good balance of intuition. I use that to decide what I'm going to do next. If I was extraverted only, I feel like I would be going about the world interacting but not understanding.
Alexis, would you say it's kinda normal if ENTJs have alot of cognitive dissonance based on our functions?
🔥🔥🔥
Wow ❤
