- Welcome to the ENTJ podcast!
What's it like inside the mind of an ENTJ? How does it FEEL to be an ENTJ? Is this even the right question to ask?
In this video, I introduce the two dominant 'cognitive functions' that an ENTJ uses to interact with and make decisions in their world: Extraverted Thinking (Te) and Introverted Intuition.
Should I make more videos about ENTJs? Let me know in the comments below!
ENTJ here - in elementary school I wrote 150 letters to my principal, all with different suggestions on how the school could be improved. I agree with the constant ability to find inefficiencies being both a blessing and a curse
Hahaha what a classic ENTJ thing to do! 😅 I can relate - starting a meeting job and after two weeks walking up to my boss with all the things I though needed to improve…
Didn’t work to my advantage at all hahaha
But… five years later, all those things were fixed… I was right haha
LOL!
i would love to hear your thoughts on how the school system could be improved, because i thought about it and it seems impossible, even if it was good you would probably struggle to make it a reality, any thoughts?
Still an interesting approach to my ear…. As a teenager these observations led me to rebel against the institution.
same
I’m an ENTJ and agree. Let’s say I’m going to the supermarket. By the time I’m leaving I already thought the route I’ll be driving, which path I will take on the grocery store to quickly finish and defined if afterwards I need to go somewhere else or go home.
My girlfriend is an ENFP and she’s nothing like this hahaha she gets easily distracted and is in comparison to me quite indecisive. Still, our relationship is quite complementary. She tells me I put her life in order and to me, and I feel I enjoy having some chaos in my life :)
Haha - yes, I can relate with some of the relationships I've had :)
Lol I’ve been saying that. I love enfps cause I need some Chaos in my life .
As an ENTJ I think ENTJ x ENFP relationship is underrated. And yeah, I relate. Though not a fan of strict routines, I still like to have some flexibility
Great explanation. My partner is an ENTJ and what I love about him the most is how his mind works. I'm constantly amazed by it. When people say INTPs are the most intelligent type, I say have you met an ENTJ. The ability he has to predict the future from what makes sense from the facts is truly incredible. It had me hooked not long after I met him. He has predicted many things correctly which is also great when I go to him with my anxieties about the future as he always has the answers that others don't seem to be mentioning. One example is with where I live and climate change. People are going on about flooding as we are 1m above sea level. I said I think we should move away and he said don't worry they are going to build a dam. I looked it up and it's true but hardly any of the news stories are solution-focused - they are just trying to scare us. There's so many things he says and I'm like how can you be sure and proceed to butt in to find logical inconsistencies. But then he is right 99% of the time!!
Thanks Sarah - love the climate change example too - just look at the Netherlands for proof haha
My dad was an intp and I am entj. Sometimes I went to him to see what he thought of certain things. He was like a ground in a way just to see if I saw correctly or if I needed to look further into so my lense was accurate. I see a ton of patterns or where I think politics around world going. Or like you were looking into global climate change. I used to try to predict 50 years into the future on climate see what it be like. At the time I was farming when I was 19 but wanted to try predict what happen in future. I would not worry about global warming too much I think for most part there is a economic political agenda I saw almost decade or 2 ago that more concerning. If look into history. I think world changing but it wont happen fast but political I be more concerned about that than climate change or seas rising. I used to live a year or 2 ago near ocean. I was 20 feet from ocean waters and had a dock. I wouldn't have worried about sea rising much. We got a while. I think there always solutions to problems that will come up but my advice be where you want to live. If it's the ocean then enjoy it. Enjoy the moments
There are a whole set of problems and challenges that female ENJT's encounter in the world. We are 1% or less of the population. I have heard that an ENTJ woman is more rare than INFJ's. So as women, we are expected to be empathetic, nurturing, emotional, etc. Since understanding or paying much attention to our feelings is very difficult and uncomfortable for us, it is very hard to understand the emotional impact our words and actions have on other people, especially feeling type women. My INFP adult daughter comes to me with a problem, my instinct is to solve it. Jump into action to fix the issue! She hates that! She wants to be heard and empathized with. She wants to yak and yak about the problem ad nauseum. I have had to learn to hear her out and then ask permission to help her if she wants my help . Maturity and personal insight as we grow older is helpful for working on the weaker parts of our personality. I am getting better!
Yes! Awesome insights - it's so important not to hide behind our strengths, but to also develop our weaknesses as an ENTJ. I think it's easier being an ENTJ male due to social expectations... much harder to be an ENTJ female!
Lol i have the same problem. My friends would vent to me and my first reaction would be to solve the issue. They never told me it was annoying, i had to hear that from other people and so now I'm learning how to just listen 😂😂💖.
Im INTJ but i think ENTJs are so cool and charismatic
My dad and my sister are ENTJs, you guys are always well put together and attractive.
I’m an ENTJ. I think this was a fair observation about us as a group. Good job 👌🏼
i dont mean to be offtopic but does anybody know a trick to log back into an instagram account??
I somehow lost the account password. I would love any tips you can offer me!
@Chase Sutton instablaster =)
@Rhett Myles I really appreciate your reply. I found the site through google and I'm in the hacking process now.
I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Rhett Myles It did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy!
Thanks so much you saved my account :D
@Chase Sutton Happy to help :D
My girlfriend is ENTJ and she’s just as intense! I love how she’s such a boss at whatever she does!
ENFP here learning more about ENTJs. Thanks a lot for this great video :)
Thanks for this :)
As an ENTJ, I’m enjoying your videos. It’s great to have someone like you in this TH-cam world, because being an ENTJ makes me sometimes lonely, and I need my tribe ;) If you could do “ENTJ friendship” theme, that would be awesome! Thanks much!
Thanks for the feedback mate! I'll make some of these! I know what you mean - we're not exactly neurotypical... and that feels isolating. It's partly why I started this channel!
@@TeNiPersonalityGrowth ENTJs in the world are thanking you for that ;)
Fun fact my bf is ENTJ, I am an INTJ and when I was looking for a partner I went on dates with different mbti types and to be honest was annoyed by most of them. I know it sounds a bit harsh but it was mainly because they didn't match my intelligence or they were not enough ambitious for me. Well this is not the case with ENTJs, they lean more to workaholism than laziness.
Downsides they can be super harsh at times. They see emotional expression as weakness.
Upsides they value loyalty, will want you to succeed in your career, are focused on improving themselves and people around them.
As an INTJ I relate to a lot what you are saying as we have the same 2 top functions only in a reverse order. ☺
INTJs are one of my favourite types! Some really deep converstions.
PLEASE make a video on how to overcome the "I am bad / rude / too intimidating - and therefore not good enough / deserving of love & acceptance" as a ENTJ striving for connection while also being true to him/herself
Great idea - low Fi really can lead to these insecurities :) I think I will!
@@TeNiPersonalityGrowth please it is something I know multiple ENTJs severly struggling from. Especially if there was a childhood wound of you are not ok the way you are. Do all ENTJs have that?
@@LucidAchievement I was a bit of a loser for a few years in high school (13-14). I had a group of friends, but I wasn't the leader and didn't think of myself as respected member of the group. I used to spend some time with them, then other times by myself (as I didn't want to be in an uneven relationship... I didn't want to have to rely on others)... perhaps an idea that "I was not good enough/deserving of love an acceptance (as you said).
At the same time, at my church community, I was the leader and I felt a stark contrast across these areas of my social life.
At this time (16/17) I had to really develop my CONFIDENCE. That was huge for me. I started being more popular in both settings and today I have a lot of friends and this really is a distant memory. I had severe acne at the time.. and in some ways this forced me to ensure that my confidence was intrinsic, not relying on external factors.
I think that once I developed my confidence, did I start to struggle with the 'I am bad, rude, intimidating' part (that kinda came from confident Te)... It was a confusing time, because my intentions were always positive, but people didn't always receive me that way. This lead me to develop my Fi (I made a video on this exact topic).
It's so good to see to be not alone with all these struggles, sometimes I thought it's something wrong with me until I've discovered MBTI, then I've just realized 'oh, ok - thats only because my software :) '
@@DeLvoy1988 Haha exactly! It gives you a framework for understanding yourself, and understanding others :) I'm working on my next video, about this exact topic right now!
Your background is the most ENTJ apartment ever
I'm INTJ and always look up to ENTJs! You guys are so rare in real life!
I love the INTJs too! They have a depth and insight that I find fascinating (Ni) :) I just wish they stepped out, using their Te more often and used these insights!
Advice for anyone who works with, is friends with, or is partners with an ENTJ: appeal to their sensibility.
Logic and rational aren’t cold - they’re a necessary part of maintaining structure. If you want an ENTJ to hear you out, communicate with them not so much expressing your feelings on a matter, but how you think something could get done better to achieve a desirable outcome.
I think what frustrates ENTJ the most is having roadblocks/obstructions on the way to complete something. Ever been in the car with an ENTJ driving? They want to know where they’re going promptly. They will rage at slow, poor driving.
If you’re the one driving, they will judge you by your driving and the way you get somewhere. Did you take the long way? Why? Are you swerving lanes? Are you paying attention?
That is an example and can be applied to other ways ENTJs judge others. They look through a lens of “it’s obvious that…”
Being an INTJ, I gain the respect and gratitude from ENTJs I worked with. But outside of work, they see my iN (muted wizard mind) mixed with bottom extraverted sensing (clumsy kid) and I’m their worst nightmare. Ditzy airhead in lalaland to the max. They’re like, “how can someone so effective and intelligent” be so dumb and clumsy?
Just seeing that play out gives them a headache. They can’t make sense of it and it hurts their souls 😂
Here's an interesting topic to discuss. Relationships about ENTJs. More on the so called "Golden pairs" like the INTP and even the INFP (In some sources). Also an interesting one what it would feel like to be with a relationship with another ENTJ, would it be cooperation or war?
Edit: Grammar check
Hey! Great idea :) Thanks for the reply! I think if an ENTJ breaks off a relationship, it's because the other person was not so creative/inspiring (we got bored)... but if we get broken up with, it's because we are too intense and forceful! An ENTJ might need to look for a relationship that can withstand (or even appreciate) the intensity, while also offering them insight/perspective to grow and achieve their goals.
On point! This can also lead to why the ENTJ-INTP is always referred to as the golden pair. INTPs are not really that forceful to other people (Though usually, they force themselves). An INFP is more lenient on feelings and emotional creativity (Imagination). ENTJ-ENTJ relationships are an undying flame, but usually, it breaks off to cut their losest or to settle their differences and move on for the better good.
@@gerbearneronero9748 How does an ENTJ meet and INFP/INTP... that's the difficult part I think!
@@TeNiPersonalityGrowth Now that's the real question. While ENTJs are busy with their crafts, INTP/INFPs are usually in their homes doing their crafts too. I can only imagine that us ENTJs will have to adopt them in order to get a relationship going.
@@TeNiPersonalityGrowth No problema. I met my INTP via a dating app. I am an ENTJ woman.
My husband is an ENTJ and I'm enjoying learning more about his personality type through you :)
I'm glad I'm able to share some insight! Apparently we are now the rarest type!
Keep it going, good content. we are so few, and not enough content that portraits us in an accurate light.
As an ENTJ its very hard to find people how can really understand our thought process, you definitely sound like me tho! Guess i found another one hahah
It's a refreshing thing when you find someone who thinks like you as an ENTJ haha. It can be validating :)
Thrilled to have found your channel. We tend to be a misunderstood bunch. Directly hearing from an ENTJ perspective should be helpful in clearing up a bit of the ignorance. Looking forward to hearing more!
haha it is the first time I encountered you and when I heard that you wrote a quora post and it reached a lot of people I instantly followed you (I was a top author in the german market on quora). - Kind regards, an ENTJ from Austria
Awesome to hear mate! What did you write about?
Dude. Ur a legend 💪💪💪 Insightful. Informative. Vulnerable. Genuine.
Love the podcast.
But most of all... I ❤️U
Also love that thirst for knowledge and constant self growth!! keep up with the amazing work mate!
You look exactly like an ENTJ i know & speak similar to him too. Hes Australian as well.
INFP here. It was really interesting :)
Thanks! You might like my second video where I describe Introverted Intuition - though you have Ne as an INFP :)
Same
Dude I can’t believe I found your channel. Interesting very interesting.
Love it, finally I found one!
-INTJ
Thanks so much for your feedback!
I've been recently learning about myself as a young 18 yr old ENTJ and id love to hear about how you coped with any obstacles as a younger person. Not necessarily knowing about how you were an ENTJ but how you applied your certain psychological traits back then, to now becoming the person you are today. Lovely video too very engaging!
Hey! Thanks for your comment! I've actually created a video on that exact topic!
Let me know what you think :) th-cam.com/video/06gupZQ1sJg/w-d-xo.html
Good insights - when I think about it, I experience Te in the same way. I can also see your Te&Ni combo optimising the SEO of this video! :D P.S. You have a very pleasant voice and a charismatic aura - all the best with your channel from a fellow TH-cam newbie.
@@effortlessjapanese123 Oh, hello there! :)
a channel just for my personality type?! You've earned yourself a subscriber!!
we smile at the same time
i thought about predicting future thing
cz they go as planned
intj here, i like how your videos are very to the point and relatively short. very informative video
Thanks! I've tried to make them even more 'punchy' as time goes on :) This was the only one I did in one take... so probably the least 'to the point'
As an INTP, I admire ENTJs. It's everything I suck at you are good at and I guess everything you suck at you're good, but at the same the reasoning behind our actions are the same, but we interpret problems differently, but to be completely honest, your way works the best, altho I might find you guys at too bit "involved" I can absolutely admire the intelligence and the drive you guys have and thank you for your video, it's really interesting to learn how to success people operates.
Gold! Love this! You should post in the group again unless Larissa and crew are objecting. And if you did and I missed it, I'm glad to have found this episode here.
Your explanation sounds more like introverted thinking to me, tbh. My extraverted thinking comes in a form of the urge to shape and manipulate other people's thoughts into what I want them to think, or what I think is correct. Not saying I'm good at it, but it's just my natural urge to do so.
Introverted thinking: what you think
Extraverted thinking: what other people think
Hey! Thanks for your comment here :)
One of the issues (I think) with MBTI is the lack of an objective standards to base our definitions on! What exactly is Te? Who defines it? Is the definition malleable over time?
This is a problem with all philosophy/psychology, which (unlike science) cannot easily rely on empirical data to verify theory.
Here's is how Jung discusses it (extract):
www.personalitycafe.com/threads/jungs-description-of-the-extraverted-thinking-type-te-dominant.95608/
@@TeNiPersonalityGrowth Yep. So many definitions out there overcomplicate this by giving us anecdotes instead of its actual root definition, which is why this MBTI thing is now slippery af. I'd recommend watching the definition of cognitive functions from this channel "Objective Personality" (if you haven't already). They have lots of videos on this, but separate videos. I promise those videos will make this all less slippery.
"This type of man gives the deciding voice-not merely for himself alone but also on behalf of his entourage-either to the actual objective reality or to its objectively orientated, intellectual formula."
^^This is what I found from the personality cafe site, which is very true. So it's less about what works for the person (Ti), but also what works for the people around him (Te). For example, I'm right now trying to get our definition of Te to be on the same page. To me, it's not just about what Te means for ME, but also what it means for the people around me (YOU). We're literally doing Te right now, to my understanding of its simplified definition. Not saying everyone who's done this have a dominant Te, because everyone does every cognitive function. However, to people with Te dom, this is like their drugs that they can't control, which is why they're stereotyped as bossy (just an anecdote, so don't take it seriously).
Yep, another neat and simple analogy I heard is this -
Introverted thinking: adjusting your thoughts/understanding to match reality
Extroverted thinking: adjusting reality to match your thoughts/understanding
This is fantastic, I thought I was alone on this special journey until I found the community. Keep up the good ENTJ content. Stay safe from an ENTJ from Thailand.
Hey welcome to the channel! Love to have you here :)
Absolutely assertive.
You found this assertive? I tried to be nice for my first video!
😀
also our Se also play an important part of our cognition. that's the Te Se loop a lot of us resorts to in everyday interactions.
Yes! So relate to the seeing the world as problems to be solved
Wish there was more chaotic good ENTJs in media 😩😩😩😩 im thinking of becoming something prevalent as such myself by whatever means. I dream of writing about one as well the second i receive treatment for my ADHD
You seem to let your ADHD define you man. Integrate it and evolve. ❤️
It’s terrible being ENTJ with ADHD 😑 so many projects to tackle and things to learn, but i can’t keep track or focus on any sole singular one of any. I’m an amateur of everything. Obligatory ADHD sobbing because I can’t do a certain thing when my mind’s elsewhere. I’m extremely hard on myself but I do better than everyone with sharp learning and adapting, finding inefficiencies to correct, and going beyond a certain minimum line of understanding. Where I lack I improvise and assume with common sense guiding me, that’s how I’ve gone so far without medication, but it’s still hell. Being bored magnifies the pain of my neglected Fi, always overworking my Te and neglecting a very crybaby Fi that wins whenever I’m alone. Everyday is my breaking point and yet I hate talking about it or receiving sympathy even if it’s well meaning. I trust nobody or the validity of my own feelings even though its just natural, and the cowardice to accept me and relax for once without perfectionist judgement is all self imposed. Ive been complaining and being a drama queen finally freely though, hasn’t solved anything of course and makes me feel helpless but at least im slowly conquering my other worries of just being myself. Especially making long ranty paragraphs like this is something I’m going to accept even if brain is like “this isn’t necessary for others to witness this helpless side of me”
i like the presentation of your videos! can you make a video on how to develop extraverted thinking and introverted intuition or can you make videos on how ENTJs go about optimizing their lives in all aspects from relationships to career to education to business so other ENTJs and people of other types can learn to become a better version of themselves. keep up the good work!
I am 19 and ENTJ. This video is helpful. Thank you!
Thanks mate! I checked out your channel and I love your music style. I explore my Ni using music just like that. Feel free to sub for future ENTJ content :)
@@TeNiPersonalityGrowth Thank you so much man, I appreciate it! After watching your video, I had already subscribed to your channel. I expect to see more content from you. You are doing an amazing job!
I’ve been enjoying your videos. I recently took the mistyping quiz five times and received XNTJ and ENTJ (after spending two hours mulling over the questions to better assess how I express my functions throughout different life stages and environments). I think this is invaluable to really understanding the specific cognitive processing patterns vs. just relying on MBTI type code, which is more behaviorally focused. I’m currently in the process of professional cognitive typing and preliminary feedback is ENTJ or ambiverted INTJ.
A strong Ni ENTJ could come out as an INTJ for sure! Key difference would be how long it takes you to take action. INTJs tend to take action at a 99% or greater chance of success (they spend more time strategising with Ni), while an ENTJ will be like... 80-85% chance and then just fix the mistakes as they go in the 10-15% of the times that does not work out.
100% accurate. -Fellow ENTJ
I’m a ENTJ: Emotions are Chaos. An obstacle to be overcome and an enemy of order. However, emotions exist therefore, must be dealt with. Need to integrate emotions into strategy to achieve goals.
50% of all people are the “feeling” type. Logic and emotional arguments needs to be utilized to motivate 100% of the people.
Yes, there exists a tension that must be navigated and not set out of balance. It's important that our strengths to not become our weaknesses.
I think the reason why our Te is so ser default is to fill the blank of our Fi inferior. ie if Te do nothing about the information absorbed thru Se, our Fi starts to worry
I am Entj And Lazy. But when it comes to projects. I can run them until I hit a wall or the other People dropping out. ;) I want to develop my entj personality more.
You take initiative, you do the work successfully which gives you a "high" like a drug. Am I Corrrect?
Are all ENTJs as hot as you? Hahaha! Just inserting a flirty comment here.
I found much resonance with the way ENTJ functions - I've recently found out that I might be an INTJ instead of an INFP/J which I had always struggled to fit into cause neither or was truly me. I'm still doing more research on the NT types as I go along since I used to focus more on the NF types the years before. So your insight helps a lot!
Yes. Accurate! 👏
So many videos already discussing this, great one though.. as an entp i cant find people telling real life examples of TeNi on video. Can you next time give examples? Thanks mate.. ive subscribed before i even watched it
Nicely put!
Commenting to show support to this channel. -ENTJ
Hey! I really appreciate your support - a new video coming soon!
Thank you once more for this enlightening video. I'd be highly interested in hearing your ENTJ viewpoint on teaching. How do you optimise achieving goals? Classroom management? Dealing with differenciation: different paces / students with different needs?
Looking forward to watching your next video!
Great idea! 'm definitely not a 'typical teacher'... I think the teaching profession is high in Fe and Si types. I teach chemistry and biology; differentiation (at the low end) is not my strong suit (or passion), but inspiring students to extend themselves, see big picture, to make links between various phenomenon + the real world is where I thrive.
@@TeNiPersonalityGrowth thank you for your viewpoint ! I agree that Fe must be an asset. Looking forward to see your next videos. Wish you nice end of year celebrations, to you and your family.
@@BarbaraMoretti
This was so strange...haha, yes this is how I see the world. I once asked my INTJ friend how they organize the world and asked them, so, how do you organize the problems to be solved. He was like I don't necessarily see the world as a series of problems... I normally wait and see how I feel first, then I look for a logic string to pull on and then work it out. I was like...what? If you don't know what the problems are first...wait, feelings? We will deal with those after the problems are fixed so that we can FIX THEM. Yeah, we are like little robo calculators, but our Ni really does bring us back to the world since we are using it to navigate. I liked this, it is scary to hear other ENTJ's describe things that I have felt alone in, but this was great!
This might be what Jung describes as a J vs P personality.
Ni is a perceiving personality, so an INTJ (NiTe) is actually PERCEIVING first, then taking action while the ENTJ (TeNi) takes action first :)
In some ways the IXXJs are P types!
@@TeNiPersonalityGrowth wow!! That makes total sense! Yes!!! I love INTJ’s, but yeah they do seem to sit back and watch a lot and then act. You’re right and I always forget how to figure out the perceiving hs judging in the cognitive function stacks as you type. Thank you, this Te makes so much sense to me. 🙌🏼
شكرا جدا
Thanks my bro
I had an obsession when I was a kid to fix stories , movies , cartoons and "improve them with my vision " does this counts as a TE function ?
WHY IS THIS VIDEO 7 MIN LONG ONLY
How are ENTJs with listening skills?
I would love to have an entj around me to observe and take inspiration from cuz Te is seriously a mystery for me and in practical life it would help me alot i also see inefficiencies around me and want to complete tasks but this thing Te i cannot develop it on my own a reference would help me alot - infp
You do seem to be really warm for what a entjs “supposed to be” but I wouldn’t know. I’m starting to think entjs don’t. Could you do a comparison between a ENFJ and ENTJ sometimes you guys can seem similar. When entjs are in a group are they always trying to take the lead in the same way a enfJ would ?
Hey, I wrote a commenter before asking if there're some record of lazy entjs because I think I'm one, what seems anormal, like I spent a lot of time learning it all and I identify my self with almost everything with this exception. And I think that I'm Asperger, I'm working in the diagnosis, what can be the reason (we have low energy (I eat healthy, take my vitamins)). But you answered my comment asking if I had being throw some trauma, and I really had. What I think that I already heard that's also normal for entj and it's definitely for Aspergers. But it would be so nice if you make a video about this específic tema and maybe also depression on us like what the possible reasons from the MBTi perspective or how it manifests on us as well what to do to about, as well about the comum meadle life crises (like when you arrive where you wanted but then you're not sure if this was really what you wanted actually, you just followed the flow to success, and then you see your self suroused by really hard work for the rest of life. And if we are even able to ever know what we want truly once that we arrive there. Like because I already start to feel this emptiness in my breast imagining me there overworked but I still don't see any other option more attractive or that have a bigger chance of make me happy at the same time. I see my self comiting to a lot but yeah like when I imagine my self there where is my real dream to be actually, I'm not sure if is this what I really want (to really be there because I will comiting my self with really a lot of work like unhealthy, I think. (Sorry I over repeated my self because I edited and ended up like this and I have to go now).I never sow nothing about this entj laziness/trauma connection or any laziness at all as said. I see that I can take long to finish and feel me ready to full fill my final desires because I'm preparing my self to it like studying, collecting all the data,..., Making my self a real expert for the subject that the people trust on me (as me my self) about. (But I don't think that I'm a intj I'm definitely extroverted (even though like I also have the normal look alike introversion typical of entj like high selection in company, or preference to be alone). But yeah it would be nice if you could at least give me a link with some fount about :)..
Thank you 🙏 !!!
You seem really soft for an Entj. The Entj I know appears really awkward whenever he's trying to be nice. It's almost like he's strategic about it. I think it's cute though.
Haha I’ve learned how to be this way!
I can be very assertive and intense. I love it actually, always fun!
@@TeNiPersonalityGrowth I guess you're on the right track 👍 When I first met my Entj friend though I was really taken aback by how paranoid he was. I have a better understanding of this type now. Thanks for the videos.
Was going to ask how to further develop the function (Te) as a Ti user, but then again its not natural for one use/utilize shadow function without it being draining. Makes me wonder if one can ever reach a point where the shadow functions will be less draining or is it hardwired in the brain least required energy are the main functions? i.e in your case can you ever reach a point where Ti all day wont drain you? xD
I like to think it's possible to develop inferior functions - I know I certainly have! For me, getting good sleep is really important to accessing them or I default to my dominant function (in probably an unhealthy way)
For a Ti users to turn it in Te, I think it's linked with confidence. Step out and make the first move even if you don't know all the answers and trust in yourself :) Anxiety isn't really something I experience too often (if at all) as an ENTJ and I think that's linked to Te. Te has no time for anxiety.
@@TeNiPersonalityGrowth yeah im just questioning if one can ever reach a proficiency with a shadow function similiar to that one of a dominant user or should one just focus on their main cognitive function seeing as developing the shadow function will be subpar compared to a dominant user (considering it induces more stress/energy to access(assuming this is correct))? but i do understand the necessity of having a well rounded utilization of all functions xD but i guess in the end it will depend on ones goal in life oh well im done rambling :p
@@LarsGuerra I think age is important too. If you are younger, focus on your second and third (as they are not fully developed!) . As you get older, move towards your fourth and then on those outside your stack :) I think that is the natural progression of things at least - is this what you experienced?
@@TeNiPersonalityGrowth not in that sequential manner, which begs the question at what point can one classify a function as fully developed? there are different layers in which you can utilize a function thoughtcatalog.com/heidi-priebe/2015/12/how-each-cognitive-function-manifests-based-on-its-position-in-your-stacking/
@@LarsGuerra I think it wasn't so sequential for me too actually - Se (third) was probably developed last.... I hesitate to say ANY of them are fully developed! I think this is an area I'd like to research more - thanks for the link!
im attracted to entj - intj
ouch, that hits a bit close ...
I have a very strong Fe somehow and also Ne and I know for sure Te is my first function
What does that mean?
Ni is not about analytical skills or being broad picture, it’s about Will Power and tunnel vision to get what you want. Ni is very wanty.
Do you have an Instagram where you can be contacted? Mine is @mbtimemesdaily
What do you think of maybe doing a collab, as in a podcast episode where we discuss "ENTJ vs competitive ENTP". The people that know me type me as an ENTJ because of how focused I am on my goals instead of partying or having fun (like the ENTPs I know do), but I still think i'm an ENTP.
What do you think?
Sounds awesome man! Would be a lot of fun!
Only have my personal Insta atm, but I’ll message you there! Merry Christmas btw!
Hey, great video. May I ask for some advice? Currently, I have been struggling a lot with dealing with my Se - Tertiary Function, and I do not know how to consistently perform productively. What instead happens is I end up subconsciously letting valuable time pass, consequently becoming inefficient. I would like to have your take on this.
Hey - this is a big one. Especially with young people.
My advice is to delete apps that waste your time. Cold turkey. Put parental controls on the ones you still need (even only allow the password to be shared with a friend or parent :) )
If you haven’t made a video about mastering Fe demon, could you pls? It would be so helpful
I probably need to master the Fe demon myself first haha. I've noticed I project a mistrust onto Fe doms based on my own ineptitude.
I am an ISTJ, Introversion, Sensing, Thinking, Judging. How do I make decisions? I am also a procrastinator and I am indecisive.
If I do make a decision, I think how can I efficiently solve the problem. Maybe I can start in one corner and work around to the middle and then the other corner. I may do a casual research of the decision.
Hello there ISTJ :)
Your cognitive functions are SiTe (Introverted Sensing and Extraverted Thinking)
So, you have Te as a cognitive function (like ENTJs), but it’s your secondary function! So, while you do ‘act’… you first prefer to perceive (take in information) - the way you do this, is through Si (introverted sensing)
In some ways, you are actually a perceiving type - as your first function is about perception, not action… but since your first EXTROVERTED function is a judging function (and extroverted functions are what people see) the MBTI interpretation puts you as a ‘J’ type (ISTJ)

Does TeNi for you every seem like you are able to see all train wrecked just waiting to happen?
I call myself a professional skeptic and it's my job to worry, because I seem to always be the only one who SEES exactly what is wrong... Unfortunately, when people don't listen, I end up right and then get labeled with superstition lol... As if I spoke it into being.. instead, I can recognize momentum and direction and predict results and risks.
Risk management is like TeNi for me.
I can totally relate but isn’t that how everyone does it. Idk
Not exactly! Are you an ENTJ?
ESTJ does the same thing but with Si, we use previous ideas of others with Si that were successful to make choices with our Te. Then ESTJs use Ne to see end goal ahead of time and make sure we create the dream we planned for, why we tend to always succeed at implementing things. Wonder how Se works in ENTJs verse ESTJs Ne, in building projects.
I'm of the opinion that an ENTJ can actually match an ESTJ with Ne :)
Oh exactly come into this thinking... my mine is autopilot pop out how to fix this, what needed, how long fix it, if not doing it my self, whether hire other people
END UP prefer self hand on... reduce cost, cost savvy...
But Sir, can u tell us how do we as ENTJ minimized this thing, so that is highly effective
if thing that hand on do our self may cost time, and more resource
If thing that is direct sales no ned to hold too much time
WHICH ONE is better whether are we pick more sales directly type because it is so fast
Some time i am really trap in hand on type of business bcoz i have to take care the sales, seeming the hand job business seeming not really effective for me for long run...
I gather that you are asking about is the businessman's dilemma dilemma - hire more people or keep doing it yourself?
@@TeNiPersonalityGrowth how yo strategy for 1 to 2
Whether can 1 to 3...
Not so scary as I expected.
Haha - what were you expecting? What surprised you?
ENTJ's can be quite charismatic and friendly. We do have an intensity about us, but we can read the situation that we are in and adjust accordingly if we choose to. And with maturity, that gets better. I had to learn tact as I grew older. And to respect other's ideas and decisions.
Are you also enneagram 8?
I think when I took the enneagram I was equal type 3 and type 8 :)
The test is not a good way to find out about your type. Also I see a lot of people in the comments saying “Good job”, when if an online test had never told you your stereotype you would have never said. It’s really weird, really obvious, really cringe, and not at all Te-dom like.
I'm a little confused with this comment - so you're saying that many ENTJs are mis-typed.. and the evidence of this is that they are encouraging me/letting me know they liked the video?
TeNi Personality Growth People are mistyped in general whatever their type is because they use the test, and many people play their type whether it’s their real type or not. The evidence is, the same “good job” comment in every analysis of entjs on youtube (or other platforms) by someone making sure that everybody knows they’re an entj. It’s not specific to your video, nor am I saying that that the video is bad, i’ve found it helpful. What I am referring to is people playing their supposed type. I’ve seen it a lot and it’s very immature, and it looks bad. That’s just the way it is, even if they like your videos.
Nice video. The audio could be a little higher tho
Thanks for the feedback :)
u know what the biggest joke in my life is? i'm an ENTJ but a bottom
Wanna know something weird? Some INTP women are definite tops. It's a shadow thing. 😀
✌🏽😘🫡
Good God talk faster and not in circle....if you are an ENTJ...snap to it!
Thanks for the feedback! I am used to teaching teenagers and speaking 'off the cuff' this was done in one take without a script - I think I'll record in smaller sections/many takes in the future to improve the 'snappiness' :)
@@TeNiPersonalityGrowth They're being rude. You were fine. Ppl can speed up the vid if it's too slow for them -- like I did ;) Having an outline of talking points is helpful to guide the vid. But I enjoyed you speaking off the cuff. It offers an authentic view and leads to a better understanding of personality. Which is partly what we're here for, in the first place. Content was great, keep it up! Try not to take asshole too seriously.
Haben B. Thanks doe the feedback Haben! My most recent video was much more snappy - what did you think in comparison?
@@TeNiPersonalityGrowth The added visuals are a great touch. Regarding being snappy, you can speak faster if it feels natural to you. But it makes no difference to me, I watch everything sped up hahaha If you're still concerned about this, a good idea might be an outline of planned talking points to guide you. I wouldn't go so far as to script it, just something to help streamline your thoughts and speech to prevent repetition.
But I'm partial to vids with minimal editing, esp when concerning typology. It's mainly bc I'm curious in observing different types while they're naturally expressing themselves. INTPs are a good example of this, bc many of their endearing quirks would be lost in jump cuts. But you ultimately have a clearer view and better understanding of them if you let them ramble a bit ;) Hope this helped.
ESTJ. Not ENTJ.
Nah, I have terrible Si.
What makes you say that?
