The one who goes for results. Moves on practical logic, calculates ahead and takes the opportunity. What they want most: the ethics of distance between people. What they are worst at: arranging bodily comfort.
Types that fit ENTJ, and types that need distance
ENTJ (the 16Personalities Commander) with the other fifteen types and its own, sorted by kind of fit. The order is a rough guide to what tends to last, not a score. Each link opens the page for that pair.
Fits wellISFJ (Duality), ESFP (Activation), INTP (Mirror), INFJ (Semi-duality)The four that fit naturally. When it starts to work differs.Stands closeENTJ (Identity), ESTJ (Kindred), ENFJ (Business), ENTP (Quasi-identity)The four that are alike or can move side by side.Needs distanceISTJ (Illusionary), ESFJ (Super-ego), INTJ (Extinguishment), ISFP (Conflict)The four whose closeness needs design. Decide the distance and they last.With a directionINFP (Supervisor), ISTP (Supervisee), ESTP (Benefactor), ENFP (Beneficiary)The four that one side feels strongly. Seen from ENTJ's side.
How this type meets eleven situations. Not fortune-telling that comes true: how this type moves in each scene, written from the arrangement of its functions.
WishGranted. Fast. But do not make home and body someone else's job.
The one you wait forWill come, at the appointed time. If you are late, they leave.
Lost thingsWill turn up. You are the type who buys again rather than searches. That is fine.
Setting outExcellent. A trip with a purpose. A trip doing nothing sends you home in three days.
TradeExcellent. You have the power to run it. Only the formalities of obligation and feeling: leave to others.
StudyPractical study: good. Theory alone bores you.
DisputeYou win. But you lose people. After winning, settle the debts.
LoveThe one who teaches you feelings is the real one. Do not choose by profit; that is the loss.
ChildrenYou will be a parent who gives opportunities. Warmth and rhythm: leave to your partner.
IllnessYou neglect the body. Put sleep in the schedule.
MarriageIt will come together, with someone who teaches you distance between people. Two of the same type clash over interests.
A gift that lands
Feeling. A letter, something handmade. Something without practical value, for the practical one. What ENTJ thinks they cannot receive.
What suits them
Part-time jobs, work, places to travel, clothes, music, anime, films, TV drama. From what the type is good at and what it wants.
Part-time jobSales, cram-school leader, start-ups Work where results show in numbers.
WorkManagement, sales, investment, consulting Work measured by results.
TravelTrips with a purpose, cities, overseas study tours Going to get something. A trip doing nothing sends them home in three days.
FashionSmart, branded Clothes that look fast, that look capable.
MusicWestern rock, hip-hop Music that moves forward.
AnimeStrategy, business, rags to riches The ones good at winning.
FilmTrue business stories, war, heroes Films about people who deliver.
TV dramaWorkplace, corporate, courtroom Fast, decisive ones.
Questions this type wants to answer, and what lands
QuestionHow could that be done faster?
QuestionWhat are you aiming at right now?
What lands"You deliver." Praise results. Do not talk formalities.
If they were a country or a place
The temperament of the type, likened to land. One each: a country, a Japanese prefecture, a US state, a European country.
CountryChina Fast. Earns.
PrefectureAichi Makes, sells, earns.
US stateIllinois The city of trade, Chicago.
EuropeLuxembourg Small, and earns the most.
Values
Whether it pays, whether it moves. Speed and results. Skips the formalities of obligation and feeling, and sometimes loses people for it. Tends to see home and daily life as "someone's job".
Money
Strong at earning, strong at moving money. Suited to investment and business; circulates rather than saves. Underrates spending on comfort and notices only after the body breaks. Loses out on the ethics of distance: debts, obligations.
Parenting
A parent who gives the child opportunity and practical benefit. Invests readily in education, moves with foresight. Poor at the small care inside the home and the formalities of feeling. Warmth and the rhythm of life: the other parent.
Work
Management, founding, investment, sales, consulting. Strong where results are measured; drained in workplaces of procedure and feeling. As a boss, fast, and overlooks the feelings of subordinates.
Friends
Quickly friends with those understood at a glance. Clashes when interests overlap; lasts when they do not. Saved most by the friend who teaches distance between people.
Hobbies
Business, investment, sport, travel, fast things. Hobbies with a goal. Disregards hobbies that tend the body (food, sleep), so has others tend it. A hobby of doing nothing is the hardest of all.
ENTJ's Model A
Where this type places the eight information elements. The top two are strengths, the next two weaknesses, the next two what it wants from others, the bottom two what it can do but does not care about. Compatibility is the overlay of two such arrangements.
1TeLeading: Te extraverted logic — facts, efficiency, "how to make it work". Strongest and always on. The way this person sees the world.
2NiCreative: Ni introverted intuition — the flow of time, foresight, "this is where it goes". The tool that serves the leading function. Used flexibly, when needed.
3FeRole: Fe extraverted ethics — the mood of the room, atmosphere, moving feelings. Adequate but unconfident. Performed when required.
4SiVulnerable: Si introverted sensing — comfort, bodily sensation, pleasant and unpleasant. Weakest and most sensitive. Remarks here hurt.
5FiSuggestive: Fi introverted ethics — personal bonds, likes and dislikes, distance. Cannot produce it; feels safe receiving it from others. The dual's leading function lands here.
6SeMobilizing: Se extraverted sensing — force, presence, taking the ground. Gets moving when helped here. Grows with praise.
7TiIgnoring: Ti introverted logic — structure, consistency, "does it add up". Capable but does not value it. Used silently when necessary.
8NeDemonstrative: Ne extraverted intuition — possibilities, ideas, "it could also be otherwise". Strong without noticing. Comes out unasked.
