Am I the only ENTJ out there who shows very few emotions to the majority but is extremely expressive around the select few I trust? I lead with my head instead of my heart, and supposedly us ENTJ's lack a certain sense of humanity, but when I do let things occasionally slip by after repressing them I suddenly turn from robot to emotional.
Honey I'm exactly the same. I only cry around those I trust most deeply. I just think the workplace is not the right environment for letting emotions get in the way. Letting emotions rule decisions hinders your progress. You're totally not alone there.
yep definitely the same here, it sometimes surprises me how comfortable i feel expressing myself around close people after spending very long periods in “head” space
"The ENTJ is driven by curiosity by what is happening now... A new idea... a new pattern in society before anyone else, Will feel very very happy/excited/enthusiastic about this." Yes, this is the best feeling for us! a new insight before anyone else!
Legit fatcs of ENTJ. Thanks. Few more from my side: -We aren't influenced or impressed easily. -We can't be put in a box unless we decide to stay. -Being an ENTJ woman and a perfectionist, people mistake us for being too rigid. -we see through the facade of others trying to impress us. -we are unpredictable which pisses off others😅
I had ENTJ female boss, she said: “women are weaker sex, only because they choose to be weaker sex, because it is more beneficial, they just play weak because they are lazy, in reality they are no way weaker...” she was very powerful/forceful personality... 💄💪🏼👩🏻👌🏼🧠
I agree with her sentiment, but.. not the reason. Not all women are ENTJ, and therefore, it's less to do with laziness and more to do with capacity. Most people are sentinels, or defenders. NTs are rare for a reason.

You wore correct on 90% of this but where you wore wrong where you wore basically saying that ENTJs cannot interpret intentions or understand motives of others. Actually we are very, very sufficient at this. ENTJs see the grand scheme of things we are far above the clouds we are looking at the world from the satellite view and we can peace the planet together from one detail at a time. The thing people do not get about ENTJs is that we are extremely complex and evermore growing in that complexity because of the ever expanding on new knowledge and information. I would argue we are one of the most misunderstood because we are one of the most complex types. In my personal opinion the NT types are more rare because of their complex design. Influence is our mastery and manipulation is second nature. Playing the strings of people's minds is simply a different tune of playing the strings of interments to us, you give us less credit for what we are capable of. This is the comparison of a ENTJ that is good with systems vs a ENTJ that is generally good with almost everything. When a ENTJ finally break pass their quirks with people they can rule over them through understanding the nature of man, then we can move everyone around and place them were we see fit. Not because we want to rule them but because we understand all the Lego pieces and where they are best placed. Understand the essence of everything we do is driven by purpose. Without purpose everything we do is dead.
雷神Raijin what I find is that ENTJs prefer efficiency to wisdom and often throw the baby out with the bathwater, looking so much at the detail and focusing on it, that they fail to see the forrest for the trees.

I am an ENTJ politician, previously from a corporate world and must admit that you are spot-on! Well done for a very informative video. And thank you for sharing your knowledge.
I'm an ENTJ. I do have emotions about a lot. I can just hide them very very well. Also, everything I do is rooted in the physical world and I've advised other male ENTJs to do the same.

Yees! That's it! The first review of ENTJ when I feel identify. Thanks, you are the first non Entj that I see that understands us as something more than a CEO. Here ENTJ women who aspires to be a CEO(despite de stereotype)
I type as an ENTJ, BUT.. just barely. I'm 55% E. vs Introverted. When you finish off the video making suggestions about not getting rewarded, I agree with that to a degree. I do take on more than I can handle often. I have been called intimidating often. I suck at social influence unless I'm being fun/entertaining. I am very much doing oriented, not words oriented. I definitely rush into things sometimes before I understand it all the way. Where I disagree the most is open minded ness. I thrive open minded-ness. Curiosity, and studying out an idea when brought up. I love listening to people's ideas. Although I should mention I've been studying Zen for the last year.. and I do notice I'm less biased than previously.
Right, so I/E is not a matter of degree, 55% on E means 55% chance you're extroverted, but it does not determine how extroverted you are, that's something a lot of people miss. The Big5 shows you on a scale, so they compare you to the rest of the population, so you can be 55% more outgoing than the average person. But I/E in the mbti is a little different and the MBTI can't scale it like that. Getting 90% on intuition doesn't for example mean that you have only 10% sensing, that would suggest the person was highly unstable and unfit to live in the real world. Does that make sense? :)
This is incredibly accurate. I wish we were better with social skills. It's such bullshit having to manipulate people socially. How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie is a must-read for ENTJs. Social cohesion is one of our greatest weaknesses because we do not give a fuck about feelings.
beware peasants Your name. 😂✌ I have a female EnTJ friend and she does have emotions. I believe female ENTJ are a bit more understanding and feeling typishy. 😏 Unlike Men.
To all my co-ENTJ... I also recommend to read the book Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill and The power of your subconscious Mind by Joseph Murphy. It will help you alot in your carreer!
Yes! As an ENTJ boss I hated the "popularity contest". The masses always seek to follow who is the most "fun", rather then who is the most "functional" person in leadership. I also have that book, very insightful.
This video was for the most part excellent and very accurate. However, I'm very ENTJ and have always been good (imo, but my friends have independently told me this too) at understanding peoples' motivations and intentions, so I think you're wrong about that. Both of my brothers are also ENTJ and they are both pretty good at it as well. The reason is that ENTJ's see the overarching pattern and our primary function is dissection and compartmentalisation of external phenomena, essentially 'deconstructive' external pattern analysis, along with the desire to learn how to control that phenomena for a given outcome. As long as a behaviour has previously been catalogued, we are likely to pick up on the patern again. It's often almost too easy where you can end up pre-empting people, especially in a debate, argument or a social situation where you want to engineer a particular outcome or response. There is of course a certain margin of error as with all human perceptions. I'd say our main weaknesses are empathising with 'feelers' who see the world predominantly through the lens of emotions, feelings and internal consequences, instead of how we see the world as primarily about actions, results and very long term goals and this can cause us major problems. When I was younger I used to find it extremely difficult, actually infuriating (and sometimes still do), when people couldn't stick to the parameters of a debate or an idea or a project (although I don't mind the expansion of the parameter if it is warranted and insightful), but instead would go off into the 'pointless' undergrowth of their own emotions and get nothing done except wallow in their own current situation. I saw it as a form of abject failure if they couldn't appreciate the value of my vision or engage with me in debate in a reasoned manner to try to change my opinion, which I do readily if it turns out they have information or perspective that I was lacking. Learning to integrate an appreciation for the 'feelers' (they have advantages as conduits to the entire 'feeler' subsection of personalities and allow you to modify your plan, parameters, workplace, mode of behaviour etc to ultimately include more people, which is rarely bad) into my personality has been a major part of maturing and like most ENTJs, I suspect it will be a lifelong process.
I am ENTJ-A. Why people so passionate to act like ENTJ, just be yourself. People still can understand are u doing acting or normal. I understand they want to looks cool and try to get popularism. Even i heard many time people say to me to praise me and want to be like me. Shark can't do nothing in the land, and Lion can't do nothing in the sea. We also have weakness too. And everyone has. So just be normal. Know your weakness to be more strongth, and less try to act like someone else. Everyone can be someone in his own ways, and every human being have their own way by nature. If u know that u not good in make up like Kardashian, and u know u don't really like make up but u force yourself. It seems u try to be a clown. Just follow your nature and be yourself.
Anger is definitely a emotion !!! I find estrange when I see this part on the discreption, I'm a turbulent one so as long I observe I have a lot of emotions
I’m kind of blown away by all this. I just learned about the 16 different types recently and I kinda just thought everyone else thought the exact same way. I thought that maybe they just got so caught up in life that they couldn’t do what was important or what they wanted and now their all depressed..? I mean look around, what do people admire? Others with lots of cool skills or cool stuff going on or successful businesses.. but they would rather sit on the sidelines..? I guess I don’t understand people anywhere near as well as I thought! Jeez
Interesting, I, as an INFP, allso thought most people thought at least more or less like I did until I learned about Mbti. But for me it was more like those poor rich people who seem so successfull on the outside, I hope they not brutally forced into this by their narcissistic parents, and that all the stress is too much to handle and they get mental breakdowns, and people might just hang around them to take advantage of their fame and/or cash, etc.
Very accurate. You read my whole life right now, even down to politics - I work in government/politics and have provided lots of proposals that have gotten implemented, do lots of public speaking, etc.
Female ENTJ- yeah we see the board game and the players and try to achieve a better outcome for everyone. Let’s get stuff done! Our emotions are both ridiculous and incredible. We like to push those things down and away until we have to use them, but it’s only so we can do our lives that are for us and for other people. Definitely find myself leading a lot. Team captain and nurse, yep body is a machine. But I’m also the person people like to rely on and trust. I’ll lay down on the line for the team and service leadership is my jam. Married an INFP though so.
Competitive, curious, very much in the head, not showing emotion because sometimes it's not worthwhile opening up to people that doesn't appreciate it. But yes, emotions are there, but maybe repressed for practical purposes.
@@LindaengelustrupBlogspot Yeah, but the ENTJ is prone to rise above that. Think gold medals in the special Olympics or rags to riches. They work very hard for what they want and little can stop them.
Walid Ukt Other people work differently that is how. We all have strengths and weaknesses. Even if some people are too prideful to admit they have any weakness.
Being ENTJ myself this is really accurate. The only issue is that all these attributes are so vague, how do I improve my self awareness further to identify my definite purpose?
Seek what most intrigues you, find you the core aspects of it. You will know how to make a living out of and retire out of the money you make regardless of how interesting you approach the subject as you are going to always try to see from the deepest grandest schemes. You will inevitably hire people and create jobs regardless of what field you get involved (even though each one of us have a preference). Maybe you want to specify in rocket engine, you might even learn engineering just out of curiosity to better manage your plans. Maybe you prefer to specify in supplying in general and consulting, then you open a company for consulting. You maybe are more interested in opening a general company for business strategy and investment, then you might just learn Mathematics or Physics at University during your company founding. So, that's how these things go, more specifically as the question seems to be asking...
Study Zen, get real bout your lies to yourself.. and simplify the distractions in your life. Then you just find the intersection of your strengths and your passions, and explore from there.
ENTP 17 year old high school girl here! I have an ENTJ teacher, we dont really get along........... Ive read alot about entp/entj relationships, and even tough we are both analytical types we tend to not really get along. The class usally starts With him commenting on the fact that I am late (im always late bc I dont give a shit). Somewhere in class I am accedently doing or saying something that he finds extreamly annoying and disrespectful and then he starts to yell at me and might even kick me out. This I find is kind of funny bc it is in a way steriotypical ENTJ and ENTP behaviour (I can be a very steriotypical entp, im basicly known as a science meme) I tend to be very drawn to ENFP's (have a lot of Enfp friends) and eventhough Enfp are feeling types I find that ENTJ's handle my emotions better than my ENFP friends. ENTJ's are like cold assholes sometimes (whitch rather like) but I find them to be very good at dealing with emotions in a paradoxical way. I don't know if it is about personal prefrence or if it is something that ENTJ's are good at. I have bipolar disorder and I also suffer from really bad panicattacks. In my experience ENTJ's handle this in a very good manner. So a little story time here: I was at a party got a panicattack (a very very very bad one, I was gone for 2 hours) my enfp friends starts to panic more than me, eventhough they been With me before when ive had them and ive given them clear instructions what to do, whitch is to do nothing, bc I can deal With it, besides they freak out and make it worse. One of my ENTP friends was litterely confused AF as to what was happening (This ENTP does not know what panicattacks are, and can sometimes be terrible With emotions, and he does not know me very well) my other ENTP friend knows how to deal With it becuse this ENTP is very good With emotions and he knows me a, he is comforting me in an okay way it was fine you know, but at this party was a 21 year old ENTJ who has been in the military (Yes I know, a tough as mutherfucker), he didnt know me I didnt know him, but he knew exacly what the fuck was going on. My ENFP friends who had experience With me having panicattacks in front of them multiple Times didnt know wtf to do, but this mutherfucker did. He cleard the room and checked my puls etc, he was really cool about it, and didnt ask uncomfterble questions. Ive had similar experiences With ENTJ's before while having panicattacks or other bipolar problems. Eventough we dont really get a long to well, if I am dealing with emotional issues, an ENTJ's house is where im at. They dont overreact and they tell you to suck it up and they give you a kick in the ass and they tell you if you are being a little bitch, besides they know how to deal With shit effectivly and dont ask personal questions that gets me uncomfterble.
I‘m an ENTJ female and my best friend ist an ENTP female. We are really similar and we talk non-stop for hours. The main difference is, that i‘m able to implement my plans and ideas and bring them into the world. She really struggles with this and is a really chaotic thinker. I think we get along so damn well is because we share many opinions. ENTJ and ENTP could rather be really good friends or enemies. Another ENTP friend and I hated each other previously and it was very, very intense. Now we get along well but she‘s really into arguing. That’s so fun but sometimes it’s too much even for me, who really enjoys debates. The INFP girl in our friendgroup is like: „You know girls, when you start arguing, my brain goes into stand-by mode immediately.“
As an ISFJ that's falling in love with an ENTJ I can tell you that I'm genuinely scared. I'm trying my best to stop them from growing romantically because people keep telling me how “NOT A MATCH” our types are. At the same time I'm mesmerized by him. I feel so fully understood without being judged. This situation makes me sad. 💔
Fascinating pair you two are. My 3-year-old daughter is an ENTJ and my husband is an ISFJ. She is the entertainer and constant talker. He pays attention to her daily needs such as her clothes and cleanliness. He listens to her and jokes and plays with her.
Why is this video loading so slowly compared to others? Does other experience the same? I don't think I experienced this loading speed in the past few years and this video is the first.
I’m ENTJ, and I know I’d make a more efficient house-spouse than my future partner. So I am going to make as much money as I can (and have multiple streams of passive income), so I can retire early and settle down to be a house-wife and full-time mom. There is no way I’d let future husband have all the fun raising our babies and cats, that’s what I want to do.
@@superfightbros.2692 May I suggest an answer there? In that case: For example because of ESTJ's need for traditions or doing what works versus ENTJ's assumptions and curiosity maybe? ESTJ's are sometimes less willing to take a chance without proper proof that a method actually works then ENTJ according to theory. (I know it's a bit stereotypical, and it doesn't allways have to be that way for all of you). ENTJ could sometimes skip some steps in a prosess for the sake of efficiency, if they believe it will be sufficient, and this way of thinking could lead to the ENTJ eighter taking too high of a risk and prone to loose, but if it succeeds it could also put ENTJ in a lead position over the more stable and secure ESTJ who trust statistics and results.
They have a very similar communication style so that makes things easy but there's going to be a small tendency towards drama and power struggles so stay wary of that. When healthy, you'll challenge each others but give each others space to express yourself, divide power equally, when unhealthy, you'll both want to be the one in charge. The SP vs NJ means you're going to experience a tug of war between slowing down and working long term vs living in the moment and enjoying the fruits of life. TP vs TJ is great because TJ and TP tend to naturally challenge each others to reach higher and think wider, but there's risk of miscommunication between the two as well, and TJ may think of TP as a cheat, and TP may mistake TJ as a slave driver during stress. So just make sure you remain aware of each others values and respect each others difference and go for it! :)
@@DeLvoy1988 I met a guy who was worried that I'd find him lazy and worried that he wouldn't be able to keep up with me. :( If only he knew how endearing that is!
ENTJ. But my F and T are dangerously close. I tip over to the T side. In personal relationships I can be very emotional. But in the professional world I can be soooo goal driven and will stop at nothing.
Yes he is. Definitely a Te dom. I don't know why everyone thinks he's Estp. Do they even know what Estps are like? Estj would be more believable than Estp.
Why not? I'd believe feminist leaders to be naturally entjs... they are really fierce (like ceos but extremist socialists in the case)

So women should just have babies at home? That is hardly efficient or rational and a complete waste of human resources based on a prejudice, which keeps you from correctly analyzing social realities or envisioning an ideal society worth working towards... What good would an ideal society be if women are treated like inferiors? Nothing ENTJ about patriarchy.
You may think ENTJs are always logical and pragmatic. But they're Dreamers that establish those possible dreams to reality.

I definitely rush into things sometimes before I understand it all the way. Where I disagree the most is open minded ness. I thrive open minded-ness. Curiosity, and studying out an idea when brought up. I love listening to people's ideas.
Although I should mention I've been studying Zen for the last year.. and I do notice I'm less biased than previously.
Right, so I/E is not a matter of degree, 55% on E means 55% chance you're extroverted, but it does not determine how extroverted you are, that's something a lot of people miss. The Big5 shows you on a scale, so they compare you to the rest of the population, so you can be 55% more outgoing than the average person. But I/E in the mbti is a little different and the MBTI can't scale it like that. Getting 90% on intuition doesn't for example mean that you have only 10% sensing, that would suggest the person was highly unstable and unfit to live in the real world. Does that make sense? :)
Yes! Im there for both Malindas and your comment .
Malinda Eckert learn your cognitive functions.
Tests that put you on a spectrum are pretty useless.
@@ABG-yc7mo I actually have been over the past year. Thanks for the advice though
ENTJ. Same here, I only scored 53% extrovert.
Entjs have deep emotions..... No one can understand them
This is incredibly accurate. I wish we were better with social skills. It's such bullshit having to manipulate people socially. How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie is a must-read for ENTJs. Social cohesion is one of our greatest weaknesses because we do not give a fuck about feelings.
beware peasants Your name. 😂✌
I have a female EnTJ friend and she does have emotions. I believe female ENTJ are a bit more understanding and feeling typishy. 😏
Unlike Men.
Hey, Im an ENTJ male, and I found someone who reads that book too.
To all my co-ENTJ... I also recommend to read the book Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill and The power of your subconscious Mind by Joseph Murphy. It will help you alot in your carreer!
+Juliana Vani-Catarina Maybe it's just an estrogen/testosterone cell receptivity matter... we can't escape biology.
Yes! As an ENTJ boss I hated the "popularity contest". The masses always seek to follow who is the most "fun", rather then who is the most "functional" person in leadership.
I also have that book, very insightful.
ENTJ's. We make $h!t happen!
Damn dude it felt like you knew me better than I knew myself 😳
This video was for the most part excellent and very accurate. However, I'm very ENTJ and have always been good (imo, but my friends have independently told me this too) at understanding peoples' motivations and intentions, so I think you're wrong about that. Both of my brothers are also ENTJ and they are both pretty good at it as well. The reason is that ENTJ's see the overarching pattern and our primary function is dissection and compartmentalisation of external phenomena, essentially 'deconstructive' external pattern analysis, along with the desire to learn how to control that phenomena for a given outcome. As long as a behaviour has previously been catalogued, we are likely to pick up on the patern again. It's often almost too easy where you can end up pre-empting people, especially in a debate, argument or a social situation where you want to engineer a particular outcome or response. There is of course a certain margin of error as with all human perceptions.
I'd say our main weaknesses are empathising with 'feelers' who see the world predominantly through the lens of emotions, feelings and internal consequences, instead of how we see the world as primarily about actions, results and very long term goals and this can cause us major problems. When I was younger I used to find it extremely difficult, actually infuriating (and sometimes still do), when people couldn't stick to the parameters of a debate or an idea or a project (although I don't mind the expansion of the parameter if it is warranted and insightful), but instead would go off into the 'pointless' undergrowth of their own emotions and get nothing done except wallow in their own current situation. I saw it as a form of abject failure if they couldn't appreciate the value of my vision or engage with me in debate in a reasoned manner to try to change my opinion, which I do readily if it turns out they have information or perspective that I was lacking.
Learning to integrate an appreciation for the 'feelers' (they have advantages as conduits to the entire 'feeler' subsection of personalities and allow you to modify your plan, parameters, workplace, mode of behaviour etc to ultimately include more people, which is rarely bad) into my personality has been a major part of maturing and like most ENTJs, I suspect it will be a lifelong process.
Thank you for sharing.
This was informative and insightful.
the 2 emotions. My friend, you nailed it
I am ENTJ-A. Why people so passionate to act like ENTJ, just be yourself. People still can understand are u doing acting or normal. I understand they want to looks cool and try to get popularism. Even i heard many time people say to me to praise me and want to be like me. Shark can't do nothing in the land, and Lion can't do nothing in the sea.
We also have weakness too. And everyone has. So just be normal. Know your weakness to be more strongth, and less try to act like someone else.
Everyone can be someone in his own ways, and every human being have their own way by nature.
If u know that u not good in make up like Kardashian, and u know u don't really like make up but u force yourself. It seems u try to be a clown. Just follow your nature and be yourself.
Amen!
I think that ENTJ's are the most adapted to capitalism
Anger is definitely a emotion !!! I find estrange when I see this part on the discreption, I'm a turbulent one so as long I observe I have a lot of emotions
I’m kind of blown away by all this. I just learned about the 16 different types recently and I kinda just thought everyone else thought the exact same way. I thought that maybe they just got so caught up in life that they couldn’t do what was important or what they wanted and now their all depressed..? I mean look around, what do people admire? Others with lots of cool skills or cool stuff going on or successful businesses.. but they would rather sit on the sidelines..? I guess I don’t understand people anywhere near as well as I thought! Jeez
Interesting, I, as an INFP, allso thought most people thought at least more or less like I did until I learned about Mbti. But for me it was more like those poor rich people who seem so successfull on the outside, I hope they not brutally forced into this by their narcissistic parents, and that all the stress is too much to handle and they get mental breakdowns, and people might just hang around them to take advantage of their fame and/or cash, etc.
I have anger issues like if everything's wrong, I get mad easily
And I'm most likely to fight with someone😂
We are just very fucking determined.
Very accurate. You read my whole life right now, even down to politics - I work in government/politics and have provided lots of proposals that have gotten implemented, do lots of public speaking, etc.
Great vid Erik. My mom is an ENTJ
Condolences! LOL!
This video is informative. Thank you!
this dude is brilliant! i love it!
Female ENTJ- yeah we see the board game and the players and try to achieve a better outcome for everyone. Let’s get stuff done! Our emotions are both ridiculous and incredible. We like to push those things down and away until we have to use them, but it’s only so we can do our lives that are for us and for other people. Definitely find myself leading a lot. Team captain and nurse, yep body is a machine. But I’m also the person people like to rely on and trust. I’ll lay down on the line for the team and service leadership is my jam. Married an INFP though so.
Competitive, curious, very much in the head, not showing emotion because sometimes it's not worthwhile opening up to people that doesn't appreciate it. But yes, emotions are there, but maybe repressed for practical purposes.
Perfect. Spot on!
Erik, You are not allowed to hack my mind without my permission.
I think ENTJs are just all-around great people. I wonder why I think that??? Ha ha ha
Employees have emotions? I thought they had results. My fault.
Well said 👌🏻
Thank you for describing me.
I don't understand why the concept of succeeding in life is hard to understan by others
I guess it depends on your definition of success.
Not everyone has been born lucky. For example some people can be born into powerty or being (strongly) physically and/or mentally disabled
@@LindaengelustrupBlogspot Yeah, but the ENTJ is prone to rise above that. Think gold medals in the special Olympics or rags to riches. They work very hard for what they want and little can stop them.
Walid Ukt
Other people work differently that is how. We all have strengths and weaknesses. Even if some people are too prideful to admit they have any weakness.
Being ENTJ myself this is really accurate. The only issue is that all these attributes are so vague, how do I improve my self awareness further to identify my definite purpose?
Seek what most intrigues you, find you the core aspects of it. You will know how to make a living out of and retire out of the money you make regardless of how interesting you approach the subject as you are going to always try to see from the deepest grandest schemes. You will inevitably hire people and create jobs regardless of what field you get involved (even though each one of us have a preference). Maybe you want to specify in rocket engine, you might even learn engineering just out of curiosity to better manage your plans. Maybe you prefer to specify in supplying in general and consulting, then you open a company for consulting. You maybe are more interested in opening a general company for business strategy and investment, then you might just learn Mathematics or Physics at University during your company founding. So, that's how these things go, more specifically as the question seems to be asking...
Study Zen, get real bout your lies to yourself.. and simplify the distractions in your life. Then you just find the intersection of your strengths and your passions, and explore from there.
ENTP 17 year old high school girl here! I have an ENTJ teacher, we dont really get along........... Ive read alot about entp/entj relationships, and even tough we are both analytical types we tend to not really get along.
The class usally starts With him commenting on the fact that I am late (im always late bc I dont give a shit). Somewhere in class I am accedently doing or saying something that he finds extreamly annoying and disrespectful and then he starts to yell at me and might even kick me out. This I find is kind of funny bc it is in a way steriotypical ENTJ and ENTP behaviour (I can be a very steriotypical entp, im basicly known as a science meme)
I tend to be very drawn to ENFP's (have a lot of Enfp friends) and eventhough Enfp are feeling types I find that ENTJ's handle my emotions better than my ENFP friends. ENTJ's are like cold assholes sometimes (whitch rather like) but I find them to be very good at dealing with emotions in a paradoxical way. I don't know if it is about personal prefrence or if it is something that ENTJ's are good at.
I have bipolar disorder and I also suffer from really bad panicattacks. In my experience ENTJ's handle this in a very good manner.
So a little story time here: I was at a party got a panicattack (a very very very bad one, I was gone for 2 hours) my enfp friends starts to panic more than me, eventhough they been With me before when ive had them and ive given them clear instructions what to do, whitch is to do nothing, bc I can deal With it, besides they freak out and make it worse. One of my ENTP friends was litterely confused AF as to what was happening (This ENTP does not know what panicattacks are, and can sometimes be terrible With emotions, and he does not know me very well) my other ENTP friend knows how to deal With it becuse this ENTP is very good With emotions and he knows me a, he is comforting me in an okay way it was fine you know, but at this party was a 21 year old ENTJ who has been in the military (Yes I know, a tough as mutherfucker), he didnt know me I didnt know him, but he knew exacly what the fuck was going on. My ENFP friends who had experience With me having panicattacks in front of them multiple Times didnt know wtf to do, but this mutherfucker did. He cleard the room and checked my puls etc, he was really cool about it, and didnt ask uncomfterble questions. Ive had similar experiences With ENTJ's before while having panicattacks or other bipolar problems. Eventough we dont really get a long to well, if I am dealing with emotional issues, an ENTJ's house is where im at. They dont overreact and they tell you to suck it up and they give you a kick in the ass and they tell you if you are being a little bitch, besides they know how to deal With shit effectivly and dont ask personal questions that gets me uncomfterble.
I‘m an ENTJ female and my best friend ist an ENTP female. We are really similar and we talk non-stop for hours. The main difference is, that i‘m able to implement my plans and ideas and bring them into the world. She really struggles with this and is a really chaotic thinker. I think we get along so damn well is because we share many opinions.
ENTJ and ENTP could rather be really good friends or enemies.
Another ENTP friend and I hated each other previously and it was very, very intense. Now we get along well but she‘s really into arguing. That’s so fun but sometimes it’s too much even for me, who really enjoys debates. The INFP girl in our friendgroup is like: „You know girls, when you start arguing, my brain goes into stand-by mode immediately.“
Just a curious question...how many ENTJs here are the youngest of multiple siblings? Or oldest?
Me. Youngest of three, two older brothers. Had to fight for position.
Youngest of 10 (female entj)
Youngest of three. Only girl
I'm an ENTJ and I'm the middle child
Middle child
As an ISFJ that's falling in love with an ENTJ I can tell you that I'm genuinely scared. I'm trying my best to stop them from growing romantically because people keep telling me how “NOT A MATCH” our types are. At the same time I'm mesmerized by him. I feel so fully understood without being judged.
This situation makes me sad. 💔
Fascinating pair you two are.
My 3-year-old daughter is an ENTJ and my husband is an ISFJ.
She is the entertainer and constant talker. He pays attention to her daily needs such as her clothes and cleanliness. He listens to her and jokes and plays with her.
@@heatherhafer3333 Yes, we ISFJs are born nurturers. ☺️
I have an entj close family member and being an estp I don't understand her most time smh
You Estp's dont understand our planning and analitical nature as you are just living in the moment :)
Hi Erik Thor, what is your guess that Steve Jobs is ENTJ or ENTP ...
I might think of ENTJ but others get him as ENTP ...
Any ENTJ, in romantic relationsheep with ENFP's ??? Do you have any advice please? Enfp here, what do you think about us?
Why is this video loading so slowly compared to others? Does other experience the same? I don't think I experienced this loading speed in the past few years and this video is the first.
"oh my gaaaawd, this is soooooo meeee, hihihi!" 90% of ENTJ platforms with fakes.
Moose0fNorway Nope. ENTJs are rarely at MBTI videos, even at ENTJ videos. It’s always other people commenting about them.
@@phoenix5054 oh, and you're going off on the stereotype that all ENTJs are constantly busy and always on the move?
Inferior Fi sucks. You were spot on.
That's true 👍🏽
I'm ENTJ woman & I told my boyfriend if we married someday, I want to do the work & earn money, whereas he's going to... look after our babies & dogs.
Ha, fair enough. I wouldn't mind. :) But I like to share my life with my partner as much as I can
chameleon rose ENTJ man here. I’d tell you to pack you bags and have a good life.
😂😂 i also thought the same thing about my relationship but it's not feasible in the long run I don't think.
Efficiency and progress can be found within the home and without.
I’m ENTJ, and I know I’d make a more efficient house-spouse than my future partner. So I am going to make as much money as I can (and have multiple streams of passive income), so I can retire early and settle down to be a house-wife and full-time mom. There is no way I’d let future husband have all the fun raising our babies and cats, that’s what I want to do.
I appreciate this video, you put it all into words. Lovely mind you have, kinda turned on. Very good looking smart individual. 😂
I as an ENTJ get annoyed by how unorganized this video is hahah
Interesting points and helpful, but does not come to the point early enough
Wish I could thumbs up your comment more than once. On all these MBTI videos, I'm grinding my teeth waiting for them to get to the point
So don't watch it. It's not meant for your narrow mind.
Estp and entj share a lot of crossover behaviors
Yeah because of Te
@@ErikThor Since it's easy to confuse is, how do you tell is apart?
@@superfightbros.2692 May I suggest an answer there? In that case: For example because of ESTJ's need for traditions or doing what works versus ENTJ's assumptions and curiosity maybe? ESTJ's are sometimes less willing to take a chance without proper proof that a method actually works then ENTJ according to theory. (I know it's a bit stereotypical, and it doesn't allways have to be that way for all of you). ENTJ could sometimes skip some steps in a prosess for the sake of efficiency, if they believe it will be sufficient, and this way of thinking could lead to the ENTJ eighter taking too high of a risk and prone to loose, but if it succeeds it could also put ENTJ in a lead position over the more stable and secure ESTJ who trust statistics and results.
Could a female ESTP and male ENTJ relationship work ?
They have a very similar communication style so that makes things easy but there's going to be a small tendency towards drama and power struggles so stay wary of that. When healthy, you'll challenge each others but give each others space to express yourself, divide power equally, when unhealthy, you'll both want to be the one in charge. The SP vs NJ means you're going to experience a tug of war between slowing down and working long term vs living in the moment and enjoying the fruits of life. TP vs TJ is great because TJ and TP tend to naturally challenge each others to reach higher and think wider, but there's risk of miscommunication between the two as well, and TJ may think of TP as a cheat, and TP may mistake TJ as a slave driver during stress. So just make sure you remain aware of each others values and respect each others difference and go for it! :)
Erik Thor thank you !!
Erik Thor totally makes sense 💖🤗
Psychopath?? Lol, a girl has just called me that a few days ago. It takes her a week to conclude that :-))
Ghazan Hussain. The most common slur I get is Femmebot... Lol
Sounds like she's right
Omg this guy is talking about me 😂
I hate the fact that I am an INTP and I wish I was an ENTJ.
Why?
But you have that ENTJ nemesis that can be built in you
You're the ideal match for an ENTJ with your personality type
@@deepthinker4125 yeah, non active procrastinators...this is what I'm searching for
@@DeLvoy1988 I met a guy who was worried that I'd find him lazy and worried that he wouldn't be able to keep up with me. :( If only he knew how endearing that is!
I am Entj famle i am a feminist
ENTJ. But my F and T are dangerously close. I tip over to the T side. In personal relationships I can be very emotional. But in the professional world I can be soooo goal driven and will stop at nothing.
I think Trump is an ENTJ.
He is not......he's more of an ESTP.
Are you kidding me! He wants to be popular. We want to be effective...
Yes he is. Definitely a Te dom. I don't know why everyone thinks he's Estp. Do they even know what Estps are like? Estj would be more believable than Estp.
I’m the best ENTJ here. In all humbleness: I will have more money, more power and more success than all of you combined.
Don't shit yourself ;)
Idk but like 80% of what you said is true. I don't think you know exactly what you're saying in some ways. Overall good video.
feminist entj ... what a joke
shaldon thomas Actually you are a joke. Learn how to capatalize.
Your mom a joke
Why not? I'd believe feminist leaders to be naturally entjs... they are really fierce (like ceos but extremist socialists in the case)
So women should just have babies at home? That is hardly efficient or rational and a complete waste of human resources based on a prejudice, which keeps you from correctly analyzing social realities or envisioning an ideal society worth working towards... What good would an ideal society be if women are treated like inferiors? Nothing ENTJ about patriarchy.
Please take off that feminist propaganda poster... 😂 first thing I noticed 🤣
are you a fucking moron
Let him have his poster. If that’s what he likes that’s why he likes.
