ENTJ: YOU! I LIKE YOUR BRAIN! JOIN ME IN MY QUEST! INTJ: ...Why? ENTJ: BECAUSE I SAID SO! INTJ:... That's not a convincing reason. ENTJ: Very well then, how about- *lays out long term plans, deals, and ambitions in a rational way* INTJ: *listens and is swayed* … Now we're talking. Though the ENTJ was planning to betray the INTJ, and the INTJ was planning going to overthrow ENTJ and rule his kingdom from the shadows, the two eventually see eye to eye and even begin to form a strong sense of appreciation for each other. And thus, they abandoned their evil plots to overthrow each other because deep down, they knew they were the only ones that truly understood one another.
And you just described my marriage- (me INTJ, him ENTJ) we decided kids were a no go, less we actually raised the antichrist or something. We should have just gone for it, but it just didn't make sense.
Cute. My own view is that ENTJ and INTJ are likely to be the last two standing and end up facing off against one another. Think Larry Bird (INTJ) and the Celtics v. Magic Johnson (ENTJ) and the Lakers.
When I do that I can easily find myself in over my head because everyone's confused me for an extrovert. Next thing I know I've arrived at a party several hours from home and no car of my own.
i am ENTJ and my brother is INTJ. when we meet new people they get stoked and say we have very different personalities. but if you hear our conversation it's like we're majorly crossover one brain and we share a lot of similarities.
INTJ with older ENTJ boss. He really likes me cause I'm "bright". Basically I study everything in our environment all day, the ENTJ naturally wants to use their TE function, when we sit down to strategize something, it's like talking to you're other half. INTJ builds up ammunition of ideas, ENTJ is ready to fire anything on their minds and can keep up using intuition. I am convinced an INTJ/ENTJ strategy pair is unbeatable.
INTJ steering and strategizing for an ENTJ is very symbiotic. INTJ gets the front man and ENTJ gets a well thought-out plan of attack with contingencies.
When it comes to leadership, you're right. I'm an INTJ and i have no interest in being a leader but i'll fill in if someone has to do it. Also although I hate being a leader and have no interest in it, people say all the time that I should be 🤔
@@caine7024 How is that humble bragging? This is one of the most commonly said things when it comes to INTJs and leadership positions - they don't often seek them but make excellent leaders when they do take on that role.
This is so true. I hate leading people (I much prefer to strategise and create systems) but I always seem to end up in management positions because I hate seeing things done badly! 😖
Same.. I don't care much for leading. But people always say that am a natural leader and have great presence. With that said, I have a inferiority complex when my leader is incompetent or I deem them incompetent.. that's where I would WANT to lead.
@@pluransart1795 im an INTJ and i have an ENTJ close friend.we are very nice with eachother and he completely understand me.and in the other hand im disagree with you:)
I'm INFJ. I have a very close ENTJ friend who motivates me so much. I feel we can really connect because we both have passion and drive for success. Different ways we go about reaching that success, but we still hunger for it! I think these two types definitely complement each other.
I feel like the INTJ-ENTJ is the perfect match for starting a business (or taking over the world). INTJs are brilliant strategists but often have problems implementing their ideas and taking action, whereas the ENTJ is all about taking action. The ENTJ can take action on the INTJ's ideas, and the INTJ can slow down the ENTJ a bit to make the best decisions/moves. I, an INTJ, have known a few ENTJ women in my life, and I honestly felt like we were unstoppable together.
Hello there Elated Elitist, you wrote "I'm an intj i hate being complimented, especially when its about something i have no control over. For example: how i look." From the evidence of personality typing this may not be quite true, (however you were probably not aware of this). Please view this as it describes quite well how peoples' personalities come out in the way they look over the long term of their lives. www.the16types.info/vbulletin/content.php/255-Visual-Type-Identification or e.g th-cam.com/video/LpPVmNEIPz8/w-d-xo.html Regards, Derek
I'm an artist and I reluctantly deal with compliments towards my "talent". Like no, I've just spent an obscene amount of time practicing because... I don't party.
in a way yes, INTJ will analyze every possible outcome, set out a plan which will be executed by others, the ENTJ is excellent at executing well thought out plans while being a leader of men at the same time.
Beautiful explanation, I always got ENTJ over INTJ but only by a few % so was never sure whether I was ENTJ or INTJ but this video made me realize why I am DEFINITELY an ENTJ and thats because 1. When I get pushed into a corner and under alot of stress, my first thought is go all in and eliminate my target which proves that my Fi is very unhealthy and repressed. 2. I LOVE extroverted sensing whether it be chowing down the best steak I've ever had in my life, driving 280km/h on the highway, feeling the wind blow through me as I jump off a plane etc... I love thrills and adrenaline which means I CANNOT be an INTJ. 3. I do not EVER compete with myself, I only care about out performing others as I am not my own enemy thus why compete with myself? 4. When I get excited with your question, I might shove my opinion down your throat and won't give a rats ass about what you think UNLESS you debunk me with logical solid facts in which case, the next person who asks me the same questions will get my new learned opinion shoved down their throats :D
I know this is an old comment, but as an INTJ, I'd like to offer my perspective. Regarding #3, since INTJs have introverted intuition as their dominate function, INTJs are their own worst enemies, which is why they compete with themselves while ENTJs compete with others; its a difference that results from the way they're wired. For #4: INTJs are the exact same with this, so bad choice of example. That being said, I know the only times I clash with my ENTJ friends is when it comes down to a difference of understanding/opinion. But since we're both NT types, whoever is **actually** right will end up winning the argument by laying out the cold, hard facts and explaining why they're right and the other is wrong. Once the person proving the other wrong has done that, the other person will understand and like you said, their opinion on it will be changed and both can move past the conflict.
@@HalfTimesTwo and, if I may, add to your response to the author (as an INTJ myself); for #2, while adrenaline rushes happen predominantly in our mind, every now and then a brilliant beam of light shines down the dark shaft of our repressed external sensing, wherein we take our thoughts and ideas and put them to the test in the outside world. There's no telling what limitations at that point will apply to the INTJs forceful need for the ultimate adrenaline rush.
Competing with only others is just limiting and killing your own potential i dont agree with you. You wouldnt survive so well in a judgemental/ignorant country i am guessing.
@@sparkle1949 same i dont know why people dont understand the part where we compete within our own limits cause we want to be the best version of ourselves and not only our own society.
@@HalfTimesTwo I think OP meant they do that with everyone, not just friends. Your example was personal whereas their example was objective. So bad choice of counter-example.
I’m an ENTJ, once I read the 48 laws of power by Robert Greene it changed my life, I’m so much more effective in my company. All ENTJs need to listen to this audiobook, it will help you to lead people without putting them off. It’s helped me to rise within my company.
This informs of how when I, an INTJ, was in the military officers would always come to me & ask me what I thought about their idea, plans & strategies. I was always the go to guy for all subjects & plans & someone else always got the credit for my plans, ideas & strategies, because I wanted it that way, as long as the people who got the credit remembered where they got the plans, ideas, & strategies from.
@EJK Boxing...This is how I do at work. I also go a step further when sharing information, if I don't trust the person, I will also secretly share information with someone else so that when one of them states they came up with the info, the other person knows the truth. This has multiple avenues of impact depending on the situation and its always entertaining.
I'm an INTJ (I recently tested again and always get the same result). I'm not disagreeing with your video, but am commenting some differences I notice in myself. I do not have much sympathy for people who treat others badly because they are stressed or having a bad day; I find it ridiculous to do so because of your own feelings and have no respect for such behavior. If I'm stressed, I prefer to stay away from others or focus on my actions to prevent behaving that way. I love going to loud concerts and amusement parks - by myself. I think it may be that pulling all that information in and experiencing it inside just as much as outside exhilarates me.
These personalities are just the base of the root and not the whole tree; you are whom who will shape yourself to be as you grow. Your part about the stressed manager is flawed, why? Because you are putting your own opinion on how you will do it. Do you think the manager given in the example will have the same mind set as you? Some can do what you describe but know that not everyone can do that; not everyone can control their emotion. If you are really an INTJ you should always be open minded and critical.
@@Dayz3O6 Exactly, well said. The INTJ must hold a rather condescending view onto others, else our own high expectations of them would lead us into disappointment and depression. There's only one person whom you can rely on not to fail, and that's yourself. This is why I shoot through my teammates on games, and I always have the highest KDR. 😊
@@ReinertZerker I've noticed this unfortunate trend in my personal development. I've always strived to give people reason to never condescend me as I normally appreciate being respected. However, it seems that allowing my mind to wander into said territories might be what I must do for my own mental health. Is my emotional stability a noble sacrifice or am I kidding myself? It's sad, I really do care for people though I don't know why. Hmm...
I’m an ENTJ and I have no INTJs around me. It’s just so frustrating to know that no one is going to understand the way my brain is working. I have to always take care how my friends see me and how much I let them into my brain. And it came to the point where because I had to fake not thinking practically all the time, I lost myself somewhere and slipped into depression.
Il do u one better, intp here whos so impatient, i'd would rather just read most of the comments to draw a badic conclusion while watching the video at 2× speed.
I just love listening to the way you're explaining things in this video, even though I'm neither an ENTJ nor an INTJ, I'm an INTP. I actually like hearing all INTJs speak, they're so informed, intelligent and confident. It's a a bit of a shame I don't know any in real life. Also, although the differences between the ENTJs and INTJs are subtle as you say, I'd personally prefer being friends with INTJs as I find that INTJs are a teeny bit more intelligent than ENTJs, plus INTJs have a refinement to them that I really like that ENTJs don't have.
Thank you! More INTJ videos. We know ourselves the best. I love how you breakdown the personality type with exanples and visuals. So helpful. More please 😎
Fantastic discussion about the role of Se on the two types. I'm an INTJ and my Dad is an ENTJ and I always tell him that I get overstimulated in chaotic or loud environments but I have never really been able to explain why. NOW i get it! Thank you! It's because our Se is feeding our dominant functions and my dominant function (Ni) essentially can't keep up with it as well as his (Te). That's really interesting! And SO TRUE for me! "Sensory anxiety" is a good word for it. I've sometimes wondered if I was ever so slightly autistic or something because of it but I didn't really think so. This video explains it well.
As an INTJ-A I lead if needed, though generally prefer to let others and stay in the background assessing how to improve what's happening, and any repurcussions.
Allen Lau, I'm also an ENTJ and we share the same communication style. Every sentence we write is basically a command. You wrote your comment exactly as I would have - especially the last sentence :) Good job!
Unlike you ENTJ freaks we INTJ's are far more cautious and meticulous. We lack your hubris and that is exactly why we don't charge in tripping over our own feet. I like the guy's talking style. I'm actually watching the video at x0.75 speed because it's even a little bit too fast for me. We INTJ's like to take our time to assimilate all the facts before we draw conclusions. Not rush in. So you ENTJ's may be good... but WE'RE BETTA! xD Disagree? Come at me brah!
@@Fonch117 its good to take the time that you would need in order to assimilate this video. my question tho would be, as some other people say they watched this video at 1.5x. do you think it is possible that watching it twice you could absorb more? what do you think?
@@salt9879 Isn't it better to watch it once at 0.75 and absorb 90% than watching it on 1.5 and absorbing 70% each time? Plus you won't have to be clicking back and fourth in the video if you miss out a word.
Aubrey Same here... I'm _probably_ an INTJ, although I might be an xNTJ, but my father is clearly an ENTJ and was tested as one. (Surprisingly, earlier in life he was tested as ENTP.) If I dare to question or not follow his commands, he might become pretty aggressive. It's really annoying, especially because NTs don't like to follow, so me either.
Also, same here. My father is ENTJ, and I am INTJ. I've seen this combination between father and son so often, I've oft wondered if there is some causation involved.
I wouldn't see why not. Or mother/son. But i've only once met a fem I knew was INTJ, and only casually. I knew nothing about her parents, so who knows? It might be interesting to see if there is a pattern there, and if it's limited by gender, or crosses gender equally.
Very interesting, I am also an INTJ (19 years old) and my father is an ENTJ (39 years old). I always admired him since I was little. He is very driven and committed to his projects, extremely intelligent. I always felt that he knew my potential, and now I understand why. Even to this day he encourages me to pursue my goals and he is the ONLY person who inspires me to achieve them, not only through his words, but also through his behavior. I might be wrong but I do think genetics can play a role on this. ENTJ's are very smart individuals and intelligence does transfer to the offspring. Genetics probably do in fact, define ones personality type. But that is just my hypothesis. I am his only son so I can't really provide more evidence on this...
My father is an ENTJ, i am an INTJ We get along most of the time, but sometimes he can be passive aggressive when he wants me to do something and i refused bc i keep questioning him😂
I'm almost 50/50 between I and E. Example from around 6:40 mark, I understand my managers position, and then become angry because I realize how worthless he is. My I doesn't let me forgive. People, and objects should perform their role in society that they agreed to, because they said they would. If not get out of the way.
INFJ here! Enjoyed your video. Makes sense! I am definitely interested in the relationships between INFJ's/ENTJ's, NFJ's/NTJ's, etc! My first love was an ENTJ. And who I call my "church dad" is an ENTJ.. The best Dad I didn't have growing up, but have now! I definitely think there's a special bond between ENTJ's and INFJ's. I've just gotten out of a long-drawn out up and down relationship with an INTJ. He thought he was an INFJ and for the first few months I was convinced he was, too. I think he was trying to blend in with me and at the beginning of the relationship embraced his feeling side, more. I finally realized a main reason why we clashed so much in conversation was because of the Te/Fe difference. Once he started acting more like "himself", he was upset that I didn't embrace this side of him that I didn't even know was important to him when getting to know him in the first place. I think he was too busy trying to impress me at first maybe. He talked too much about people's flaws. (And mine, eventually) It exhausted me. I defended all sides that he wasn't acknowledging. That seemed to be what exhausted him.
Something that I realized that may help you also is combining mbti with Enneagram. No question I am an INTJ. However, if you look at my Enneagram I type 8w7. Most of the time especially when it comes to business you would think I was an entj. I prefer my solitude to think and hate going to loud places. Now at the same time I have no issues taking over an entire room. I tend to be very aggressive in destroying anything that gets in my way of achieving my goal. I actually enjoy having people come at me or going after them. Comes very natural and enjoy taking the center of attention as long it's not a room full of idiots. Then I will call them out. Point is by using both personality methods paints a much clearer portrait
I feel the same way! Im an INTJ and 8w7 also! I don't feel comfortable if Im not in charge of everything goes on. But here's a lil advice from my closest friend, he said, the difference between Charming, charismatic leader and a Narssicist jerk is too subtle for INTJs that often time INTJs can not figure out what kind of leader they are.
Great video! I am an ENTJ, and I used to have a difficult time to controlling my emotions, but with much reading on proactive thinking verses reactive. I have learned to feel my emotions and let go in order to take an object view of the situation. I still lose control sometimes, but much less. I agree that we have a harder time to control our emotions. Thank you for the insight! What is funny is my brother is an INTJ, but he is more emotional than me. Haha
INTJ is the mastermind, the planner, the strategist with dreams as big as the multiverse itself or bigger. ENTJ is the person who goes out and strives to make those dreams a reality. ENTJ, if can defer the judgement to INTJ could become a team even gods would envy.
My best friend in the Marines was an ENTJ. The dark sense of humor, the banter...it was just a natural bond. He was a firecracker... constantly in trouble, somehow I avoided it, perhaps my introversion hid me in the background. I been a fan of mobster movies. If I had to describe the INTJ/ENTJ in a mobster way. I would say my best friend was the Don, the one that drove the bus. I was the lawyer, the one with the map and compass. I prefer to work for an honest ENTJ, and just whisper in thier ear. Most likely he/she will be more effective implementing my ideas than I would.
just took the test, i thought i was an INFJ due to the videos ive seen and how I relate so strongly. But turns out im an ENTJ and thats dead on accurate. Im not extremely extroverted as compared to others but I definitely am an entj as they describe it. I work really hard and kinda seem arrogant because how focused I am. But the thing is, life is running out and no1 really cares about us at the end of the day so the best we can do is work as hard as we can and be grateful for every opportunity that God presents us with in life. Do this and create as great of a life for our children and their children as we can before we are gone.
Totally fake. INTJs also watch videos with 2x because they have no patience. Not to talk about INTP lack of patience. The point is, that is not an exclusive ENTJ trait.
wow. i have a very good friend who is entj, while i'm intj. he's prolly looking at this now cuz i just sent him this video. this is spot on about us! seriously. you're describing the very few differences between us. it causes no conflict, but we're just different like brothers.
YES! I *HATE* loud noises, roller coasters, blasting radios, barking dogs, etc. I went to a concert once and I found the perfect volume level was standing outside the stadium next to my car.
This is so funny because other videos say INTJ's are the inflexible ones who get upset when their plans are ruined and can't necessarily think on their feet. And ENTJ's the ones who listen more to the opinions and thoughts of others and are quicker on their feet since they aren't as upset when their plans are ruined. Hence, the ENTJ's are the ultimate adaptable strategists.
This is very good !!!! I like how you make connections between functions and not just analyse every function on its own. I'm an INTJ and I have an ENTJ friend and this makes so much sense !! Continue making videos. You're really so good at it ! ;)
Another fellow INTJ here 🙂 This describes the INTJ perfectly! I love your explanation. It's thorough and you even answered some questions I've had about my own actions and habits. You're awesome! Just subscribed. Thanks for the video!
I personally think ENTJ's are willing to put their theories to test and error, which makes them way less arrogant than INTJ's as they know by experience what works in reality and what doesn't.
I disagree, I think this is something that's more of a person to person basis. On the one hand, I know ENTJs who are incredibly arrogant because of the experience they possess and because they know what's worked out for them in the past. On the other hand, INTJs (me being one) can be incredibly arrogant because our knowledge and understanding of theory is so concrete that when we then see the theory in action (whether by applying it ourselves or seeing someone else apply it) and it works, we aren't even surprised because we already knew it would work in the first place (which is also why INTJs tend to plan further ahead than ENTJs). So it's like ENTJs can be arrogant because of their experience of what works and INTJs can be arrogant because of their knowledge of what will come to be. But if you want to go based off this video, which I'll assume is coherent with the theory behind MBTI , than ENTJs being dominant judgers while INTJs being dominant perceivers would suggest that ENTJs are arrogant more often than INTJs are.
INTJ and you are spot on regarding leadership. I can tolerate weak or faulty leadership only a certain amount of time before I start getting involved. I spot all the flaws constantly. And I hate being told what to do by a person who is clearly not making good decisions. That said, I also don't want to lead all by myself because I know my flaws. I'm so much more comfortable when I got someone else I can trust and with whom I can mentally spar and exchange ideas. I don't hate people, I always try to understand their point of view and make compromises if possible. Just like you said ;)
At the end of the day both ENTJ and INTJ are smart and good planners, one with goal-focus and the other focused on the strategy (which cand either get to overthinking or to a better plan to get the goal). The only real difference I can see is in the morality of these two. ENTJ will go to get the goal no matter why (that can mean stepping on moral principles). While INTJ will never step on what he believes it is right, not for a stupid goal at least. So yeah, INTJs are idealists for their good reasons while the others just don't fucking care about those childish excuses, they have a goal to get, achieving a goal just for the sake of it, no bigger plan. For this reason I suspect ENTJs are more inclined to risk and to fellonies while INTJs are more careful. But the world is for those who risk, right?
I feel 50/50 cause I demand leadership positions. Even when I try avoiding it, people around me see me as the leader regardless. I’m also very fine tuned with my emotions. I know exactly what people feel and can read body language with precision. I am also very perceptive. I tell people exactly what’s going to happen, but I do think far into the future and assess outcomes. I feel more 51/49.
Because of early intervention therapy growing up due to aspergers, I’m very much of a weird blunt between INTJ, INFJ and ENTJ however I’m mostly INTJ compared to the other personalities.
ENTJ will care about power and position but and an INTJ will care about others and gets shit done too. Their plans will be more successful than ENTJs and people will love them because of their morals.
Lol, this is the dumbest oversimplification and the reason why people still consider this a pseudoscience. And no, I know plenty of INTJs who don't give a shit about others and openly admit it.
@@princessunikitty7275 they very well might not be INTJs, especially being that we're a very rare personality type (particularly females) and you claim to know "plenty"? I believe it's the ISTJ (I could definitely be wrong) that kinda takes an apathetic position on others' wellbeing. As an INTJ I will by no means deny not giving a fuck about excess emotion. Like, I don't need somebody crying every time I go in for an oil change.
Would i be right in assuming that they could work in tandem as "the leader" and "the adviser"? As an INTJ, I have known several ENTJs that use me as their backboard or vice to keep them in check or aligned with their plans (my signature phrase is "good plan"). Lately ive been considering dating a friend of mine who is an ENTJ who has many of the same aspirations and long term plans as me. Ive been thinking a lot about the nearly symbiotic relationship we would have as a couple. So my question is; do u think a relationship between these two types can be characterized as that of a king or queen and their counsel?
"Well you should have done it, you messed up" My life as an ENTJ when people ask me for advice and then go the opposite way of what I tell them to do. Trust us, we mold ideas into reality.
What you said about INTJ that they want to be better than they were yesterday is so true. And I always have believed that every person should do that.. constantly become better than they are, always excel.
INTJ here. I love being the center of attention. I have given speeches, performed in bands and theater, and I'm working on starting a podcast with some friends now. This is only true when I either have a level of competency that allows me to be successful in my goal regardless of possible variables I couldn't predict and/or when I trust at least one person I am with to help me be successful if something comes up in the process. Otherwise, good lord, why do I ever leave the house?! lol... Anyway, excellent video!
I'm an INTJ and my sister is an ENTJ. This is all very accurate. Although we both think very similarly about situations, people think we are extremely different from each other. I like the management example you gave because it reminds me of when our parents are in a bad mood and how we react. She voices her complaints on why they are being unreasonable while I try to process and analyze why they are doing so. Great video!
I am an ENTJ female with an INTJ father, thanks for the helpful video! I would say about leadership though, especially being a turbulent type and being a female, I don't always like to lead either. Most of the time I can feel insecure if I know there is somebody else who can lead better than me. I would hate to let others down and embarrass myself in the process. This is especially the case since I'm only 16 and still fall under the authority of teachers and parents.
Enjoyed the video and your concise delivery very much. Being an INTJ as well I very much understand and see/have seen these perspectives/perceptions regarding myself others I know and have known, and it was almost an audiobook story about my youngest brother (Dillon ENTJ and I (INTJ). I used to work at a furniture store in the warehouse (perfect system with potential to improve upon if manager/supervisor is not analytical or intuitive). Within mins-days (depending on the task/focus) I'd innovatively personalize the steps or methods for different tasks, until after understanding most or all the intermediate connections of the system I would begin to suggest and demonstrate efficiency with tasks and how that would improve multiple aspects down the line, annnd make my job easier and faster so I could return to my own life quicker, made everything more self-sufficient, and was paid the same (salary). I never sought out recognition or discounted another's perspective without explaining the improvements mine allowed from understanding the learned benefit of tact. And in the end of one doesn't care to examine and possibly try/use my perspective, unless it unavoidably affects me I don't continue to push my opinion (though it may be objectively valid), I will just end transmission and continue with my thing. Subscribed, thanks again.
This was very enlightening. I’ve been tested by my work places and score higher INTJ, BUT my employers see my scores which are overall 51%INTJ TO 49%ENTJ. This always is surprising to them and myself. This really helped me understand why this has occurred. Thank you and I can comfortably now say I resemble more the INTJ.
As an ENTJ I'd say there's a lot of overlapping with me in particular when it comes to preferences of how I handle things. There are things you'd typically expect an INTJ would do that I would do and to someone who just met me I might seem as an INTJ sometimes because I am in a state of observation and analyzing when dealing with new entities. I must gather some data about them before fully engaging with them, I am constantly reading them and taking down notes consciously and unconsciously quickly. Deciphering their image and their body language to paint a picture of who this person is before I am to figure out what to do with them and what purpose do they serve and how much of my time shall the be worth. Now that's not me trying to be over the top it's just a defense mechanism for me, I have to know who and what I am dealing with and some of the variable's to feel safe and knowing the right actions to take with people. To most non NT types this may seem like a lot of work but to a NT this is happening so damn fast on the fly it can hardly be said to be happening at all, it doesn't cost that much energy because this is normal day to day shit in a TE world xD
I get that. It's completely normal, to be honest, and not just an INTJ thing as most people make it out to be, since ENTJs are in the NT family they're big-picture oriented, and since extroverted thinking is their primary function, that serves as the decision-making function. Then, their secondary function which is introverted intuition serves as an information-gathering function and supports their first function. So, when ENTJs need to gather information for whatever reason, they'll be on it as much as any other NT type, especially INTJ for comparison. Being judgmental of others, looking down on others, or being hypersensitive to criticism and feelings is normal for ENTJs when under stress, and that sort of sounds a little like that. It's also fine to take mental notes on who's worth your time and who isn't, and that's not exclusive to INTJs because ENTJs aren't always one hundred percent extroverted and can need time to recharge as well. -Coming from an introverted-ENTJ (thanks to Fi and many emotions)
I’m an ENTJ and my cousin who is a few months older than me is an INTJ. It’s really cool to see how we are different and similar. For example, she’s better at keeping her cool but I’m better at approaching people and starting up a conversation.
INTJ here: I don't know if other INTJs are similar but it is sometimes very difficult to win my respect as a leader above me. I respond much better to someone speaking to me as an equal that just has less experience. I can also feel very stifled by "leaders" who find me threatening. I don't want their position (I prefer autonomy), but if such a demonstration of weakness continues I may have to cease it (or just leave).
Completely agree although I've had some of them insist on wars with me having ZERO IDEA who they're f' ing with. I destroy them thoroughly first, THEN leave.
@@dacksonflux totally agree! That, however, is just for dumb but not evil. Once they cross the evil threshold though, it's time to level everything in the cleverest and most devastating way possible. My wrath has to be nurtured and earned, but once they get me there it is only juicy and spectacular!
I’m an ambivert girl, but I think the ENTJ profile suits me better. I tend to be somewhat impulsive struggling to see my ideas turning into tangible reality, I have little patience about speculations of no practical use. I literally think aloud and I process my ideas better this way. As a Fi inferior sometimes it’s not easy to accept my real self and be in touch with my moral and ideals. Se plays a relevant role giving me a love for aesthetics, good looks and food, and I tend to enjoy and feel alive when a lot is happening around me. I like to be in charge and be looked up to, and in general I love handling and processing things myself.
I'm INTJ And... I mean, i always think about the perspective of the person that i'm having problems with. But even tho i can understand why they are acting like that, i will always preffer to get rid of that person cause i care more about me not having those problems than caring about his feelings. I can understand you, but if you already treated me badly, i don't even care if you aren't there.
I checked myself before and I was ENTJ, very loud and socializing... Until social distancing happened,, checked myself again, then boom INTJ, putting utmost importance for my alone time. I think there's some sort of a pattern here 🤔
Thanks a lot for this video! I really appreciate it. Really clear and insightful; all made a lot of sense and I feel like a have a better grasp of these two types now :)
DEFINITELY! As an INTJ, I would rather be in the background as far as leadership roles are concerned, but I have stepped up into those roles a few times, successfully throughout my years. Now I'm self-employed. Good video!
"Overbearing with their opinions and thoughts"- 100 percent. Thank you for the clarification. I tie on the cognitive type testing with NI and TE. They are always tied. I am very loud when need be and do clearly voice all of my opinions and am definitely not in the background yet am not social either hence the confusion. Thank you for the this.
My partner and I are both very similar but she is an INTJ and I thought I was too but she thinks I am more extroverted and I am certainly more goal-oriented and wanting to get things done. This video really seems to suggest that I am an ENTJ. I will say that I am incredibly impatient and often want to snap at my team members at work because they're too slow lol. I think I can be annoying to them but they also depend on me a lot despite the fact that I am the youngest on the team. I love trying to lead them despite that not technically being my job.
My wife and I are both INTJ's and let me tell you, there's no other better type than your own. That's if you're willing to hold fast and fight for each other.
most INTJs lead without having the title of leader, we manipulate people around us to get them to do what we deem best and let them indulge in the attention we dont care for, after all, we just want the results.
There are many videos like this but yours explains the "why". I don't prefer the center of attention role because I don't have time to fully analyze the future if I'm distracted with all that attention etc. I can lead well but simply don't prefer it. Thanks so much!!!
I adore how ENTJs are getting bashed based off of internet stereotypes or one personal encounter and not on any of their actual functions. This shit is wild. It's crazy again how there's so many intj's when they're pretty rare in comparison to other types, and how a lot of "intjs" brag about their superior intelligence. Like damn we get it yall. Us ENTJS are so bossy and rude and we're just the icon of idfk elon musk. Like damn. Yeah, get back to work! Haha I'm going to pop spit bubbles! Like we aren't patrick the star.... I just can't do this anymore man with the STEREOTYPES.
I'm an INTJ, but present behaviors that are visibly "extroverted". Life experience and the cumulative way we "build" our worldview can give us our MBTI-type a WIDE ARRAY of external styles/career paths and circumstantial temperaments. I grew up in a very socially aggressive and dangerous environment, and Se understood the facts as they were presented, Ni saw the revolving pattern that the meek was food. Te demanded "protection" for Fi, and I get assertive and confrontational to whatever degree required to check the perceived or real threat. But the clue I leave is AFTER the threat, it takes a minute to cool down, but then I am back on focus (whatever goal that got me on the grind in the 1st place). BTW, leadership styles between the two (INTJ/ENTJ) are similar, but the key IMO is I am most concerned with the most effective and efficient way of getting something "worth doing" done - and experience informed me that excellence cannot be imposed, but can be inspired or encouraged. A trial for a person that doesn't have a strong internal "social" drive like INTJ's - a continual work in progress. But worth learning when I have to come forward and resolve silliness posing as leadership. I be pissed - but I am more effective when angry bc I get out of the Ni/Se loop of trying to understand the "right perspective", into my Te/Fi loop which makes me driven and uncompromising on a viable solution - and shaping and pushing it into reality best I can.
Huh. It's interesting how personal experiences shape things with our MBTI-type. Just wanted to say as an ENTJ I present behaviors that are visibly "introverted" and I thought it was weird that no one else was commenting about this. Thanks to my Fi in general, it's hard for me to cope with any emotion I feel, so I prefer going about things more in an introverted way. It's something I'm struggling with constantly and have had little to no time to work on it with rapid changes, so it's still my weakest, causing me to be in a default state of passive-aggressiveness or anger, especially with authoritative figures or close friends so I've just gone down the; alone time and recharge route. And then with my Ni, I'll be trying to focus and figure out "why" I'm in a constant state of anger, but when I try to find the root cause, my Fi gets me worked up all over again and it's sort of a cycle. Or, better yet, thanks to my Fi I'll constantly go around telling people what's wrong, why it's wrong, and how we all should be fixing the problem causing emotional distress for the people involved, commonly in a back-handed passive-aggressive way. The only time I'm even remotely "extroverted" currently is when I'm really worked up about a complication or problem that can't be understood, or if I find a logical fallacy that I believe to be incorrect (Like why authoritative figures do things without explanations for example) That's when I'm really about and running my mouth lol. Or as people MBTI-involved like the words "center of attention" but just to drive a point home to where it's overkill, then I go back to recharge time. Te comes in handy with letting people know how things are, why they are, and how to fix them like right now, and that makes me come off extroverted, and yes it is my primary function, but I'm mainly struggling with Fi and Ni. Instead of using my Ni to improve my Fi, like I've been trying, it backfired and makes me more passive-aggressive or angry or something when I get to the root cause of why I'm like this and what's causing it. So while I'm brainstorming and thinking of ways to just not snap out, I don't say much, I get mad when people cut off my train of thought and go to be alone, or I go on about an opinion or why things are the way they are, how to change them, how to solve it, then back to introverted tendencies. Even with my "leader" kind of style with telling people how things are done and why they should be done like that, or just pointing out obvious problems whether that be literal, metaphorical, or emotional that others just overlook, I'll be using Ni too much to really try and get points across because I only use Te thanks to my Fi when I'm upset or provoked, so it's hard to even get into that "leader style" if that makes sense.
@@-_-NannO_- well you are definitely "in tune" with your Fi, it's actually a very powerful and, IMO, important cognitive trait in these times bc its less receptive to group/mob influence over our values. And that's why it triggers frustration bc due to your Te, it's so obvious the common value models we see in practice makes absolutely no beneficial sense. The Ni is being triggered bc it seeks to "make a path" via the social environment regardless, and it's relatively bleek for the same reasons just covered - a pandemic and antisocial and counterproductive norms is very weak material for our minds to work with - hence the Introverted approach to the social environment - it only logical as per your EJ style - things that "don't make sense" frustrates our "freedom", Fi and Ni is our liberty functions. Bet you guard your right for individuality fiercely, usually reflexively. Also inevitable, bc although the zeitgeist is all about "liberalism and non-judgmental", the luciferians (that's the underlying philosophy driving the modern mind, you should research Egoism, it's insightful), are bullies and take personal offense against Fi - values that are not mirroring their own, but instead we qualify our value systems to ourselves, so it's virtually not moved by external pressure - one of the rarest of the cognitive functions bc Fe is "ethic/conventional" morals - which is a characteristic is narcs and psychopaths (Fe aren't necessarily either, but they are receptive to really bad social practices as long as they're generally accepted, just the the narcs who lack any morality other than expediency. Anyway, you obviously spent well invested time in making the connection between your internal mental framework and how it interacts/interpret and respond to it. My weakest function Se, also makes these days a little more difficult to connect to most people. The anger we experience sometimes is really being triggered by the impulse to alter the social environment we find ourselves in. If/when we understand a little better, we can comfortably relieve ourselves of those efforts (and yes that's going to be a major challenge for our types bc our functions collectively, are inherently configured to shape our reality - it's the whole point of Ni+Te+Fi - understand "what is" and understand "what needs to be" and "how to transform is to should". Works great in business and other forms of problems solving efforts, but a dead end (hence frustration) among our people. But, I'm still grateful that I'm not Fe... I'd be disgusted with myself to be so internally disconnected that I couldn't see how backwards the "norms" are. Peace and power... just allow and know, all outcomes are predetermined in as much as jumping off building has a predetermined outcome. Be still and guard against falling prey to the judgements of others.
@@bkbornshahid774 That does make a lot of sense. As you've stated, it's better to have Fi instead of Fe, since Fe-based types are more likely to conform to norms that have their butt's on backward than to really think about underlying problems in the norms that they conform to, and the pros and or cons of conforming to *any* set of norms. It's better to have a moral compass, perse because when you do it's values that are deemed important to us and normally help to keep that individuality. It would also make sense to be frustrated, almost by default, when common norms or value models whether being used in practice or as an ideal make no logical sense whatsoever. Most of these norms that people seem to mindlessly follow end up doing more harm than good to themselves or others depending on the setting. Then seeking praise from an altogether hive-mind social setting or any other setting is like adding fuel to the fire since instead of determining your own values, you adapt just about anyone's values that give you praise. (Fe) Not to say all Fe types are like that, but for the most part all Fe types *can* be like that. Fi and Ni are great cognitive combinations in general, but when not used to using them it's stressful. Having to guard your individuality fiercely and yes also reflexively can be exhausting when it doesn't seem necessary to guard in the first place. But as you said it'll always be inevitable as long as people try to shove their copy and paste values down your throat. Taking Fi for weakness is blatantly just trying to shove the whole; do this, follow that- without an explanation. (What "bullies" in this context typically do to try and counteract that detached; I'll follow what's right to me, mindset.) From what you've said, glad that I made that connection because if I were a Fe I would literally be too conscious-heavy on every choice. I don't understand how Fe comes naturally to some types, and how they follow paths so easily already laid out for them. But quite actually to each their own, yk. Se paired with Ni (that primary function) can often lead to being stuck in place trying to figure out how to go about things, but to a consistent rate where it can do more damage than good. Especially considering that Se is your weakest function. It would make absolute sense for when you use Se, you get angered by certain things off the bat due to that internal struggle of the right way to go about things. Practicing your Te could definitely help with your Se because when you use Te to list off pros and cons and then try and apply Se, it's often a smoother running system. (Not telling you how to improve on Se, but in general, it is beneficial.) And under stress, INTJs Se becomes their greatest weakness just like how with ENTJs their Fi becomes their greatest weakness (since neither type is used to using their weakest functions, there are always emotional setbacks or mental outlash from using them without balancing it out.) But who said that any type can't improve on its weakest functions? And with that analysis, I'd say that you must already be hammering down your Se using Te since you showed both in that overall paragraph. Moving on. Agreed, though. Having to understand certain things gets tricky, and since our cognitive functions (altogether, Ni, Te, Fe as you said) try to strive for change no matter the setting. In standardized social settings, it becomes a dead end since oftentimes nobody will want change which leads back to frustration sometimes and in other cases shutting down temporarily whether ENTJ or INTJ. "NJ" gets like that, but "NT", the conceptualizers (AKA big picture thinkers) can go into a downwards spiral of being closed off or angry at social setting-type things that have many faults. All in all, thank you for the advice and insight, though. Made a lot of sense. Just be and let be, live and let live. Not everything will go according to plans and regulations and that's alright. But until workarounds come into play it's fine to be angry (in some cases) or just dissatisfied at external factors that aren't logical or helpful.
@@-_-NannO_- and thanks for the advice on Se... I rationally understand it offers a benefit to my overall personally and interpersonal life experiences... but in practice it often "feels" like a liability. Is it really surprising people, whatever their MBTI type, would lean into their introverted mental characteristics in a highly volatile social environment we all face today? I can only imagine the difficulties extrovert dominant types must be facing since a large part of the life experiences are fueled by social interactions/acceptance. I would not wish that on any... except the most vile of enemies. A hell of sorts where the thing you seek most for fulfillment (social connections) will make things worse 95% of the time. I do have an insight on how Se seems to impact me most - it's rooted in my relative "optimism". If/when I can reasonable support a viable bemeficial outcome, it serves as additional motivation, but when prospects, as I see it at the time, are trash, Se crashes my energy/motivation. I take one upside in the self analysis though, if it were not for the adversities and all around social chaos, what would be the driver of deeper self investigation? Necessity is indeed the mother of invention, so every knock offers an opportunity... but only if/when I can recognize it as such by distancing myself personally from the social feedback - a take a 3rd person perspective - then it's clear as crystal. Peace and progress on your ENTJ journey.
Intj here... I low key formed a coupe de gras at my old workplace. I was assistant manager and my goal was to replace general manager. I acheived my goal by manipulating everyone of my subordinates to take action. I like to think that everything would have happened they way it did had I not been there in the first place and I was only acting as an catalyst to speed up the process. After my goal had been reached, I left because the whole company was shit anyway and I never had any intention to be a general manager myself. The place now has an entirely different staff. :)
An ENTJ will question you even when the answer is obvious. They question because they want to boss, it's also their version of small talk. An INTJ will question when they have a question, or when they're giving you a question.
ENTJs are excellent leaders, and most of all they like the position. I can be a good leader too, but I don’t necessarily like it. Working together with an ENTJ in the future, perhaps being their second hand, would be ideal for me.
Speaking as an ENTJ by function stacks: I wouldn't say ENTJ are more suited to leadership. Te applies the facts the person learned to rationalize the external world. This can come off as judgmental to many people and wouldn't necessarily make a good leader. I would consider INTJ or ESTP better at leadership (one predicts the future, the other is good at interacting with the environment) But I agree the part that ENTJ sets the goal, then strategize, while the INTJ strategizes, then makes a decision.
I don't know I'm INTJ but still like being in the lead and unlike ENTJ I would be a very calm and understanding leader because I don't show much emotions and you will always find me making plans and strategies rather than judging my team mates and they will find me very calm and quiet
ENTJ think outloud and suffer from foot in mouth. If you blurt out your thoughts you're an ENTJ. If can't sit still for long. You're ENTJ. Otherwise, you're INTJ. They're more chill and focused.
ENTJ: YOU! I LIKE YOUR BRAIN! JOIN ME IN MY QUEST!
INTJ: ...Why?
ENTJ: BECAUSE I SAID SO!
INTJ:... That's not a convincing reason.
ENTJ: Very well then, how about- *lays out long term plans, deals, and ambitions in a rational way*
INTJ: *listens and is swayed* … Now we're talking.
Though the ENTJ was planning to betray the INTJ, and the INTJ was planning going to overthrow ENTJ and rule his kingdom from the shadows, the two eventually see eye to eye and even begin to form a strong sense of appreciation for each other. And thus, they abandoned their evil plots to overthrow each other because deep down, they knew they were the only ones that truly understood one another.
And you just described my marriage- (me INTJ, him ENTJ) we decided kids were a no go, less we actually raised the antichrist or something. We should have just gone for it, but it just didn't make sense.
Cute. My own view is that ENTJ and INTJ are likely to be the last two standing and end up facing off against one another. Think Larry Bird (INTJ) and the Celtics v. Magic Johnson (ENTJ) and the Lakers.
Wonderful story!
This brought tears of joy to my eyes 😭💖
Cool story
I am INTJ. I sometimes act extroverted as I deem necessary -- because I am INTJ!
Because you'd rather avoid conflicts with those who would draw it out longer than it has to be.
When I do that I can easily find myself in over my head because everyone's confused me for an extrovert. Next thing I know I've arrived at a party several hours from home and no car of my own.
People confuse me for an extrovert because I’ve taught myself how to deal with people
FefeNaAmerica 1207 I was just saying that to an associate of mine . I’m an introvert but I’m very good at hiding it . Will have everyone confused lol
Oh my god, you people get me lol!

i am ENTJ and my brother is INTJ. when we meet new people they get stoked and say we have very different personalities. but if you hear our conversation it's like we're majorly crossover one brain and we share a lot of similarities.

its quite simple: entj loves to command people, intj love to comand guys commanding people behind the scenes
YES!!!EXACTLY!!🤣
I thought so
Relatable.
INTJ with older ENTJ boss. He really likes me cause I'm "bright". Basically I study everything in our environment all day, the ENTJ naturally wants to use their TE function, when we sit down to strategize something, it's like talking to you're other half. INTJ builds up ammunition of ideas, ENTJ is ready to fire anything on their minds and can keep up using intuition. I am convinced an INTJ/ENTJ strategy pair is unbeatable.
@INxJ Yes, or more to the point, self-awareness.
"Y O U R" other half
INTJ steering and strategizing for an ENTJ is very symbiotic. INTJ gets the front man and ENTJ gets a well thought-out plan of attack with contingencies.
I'm an ENTJ and one of my best friends is an INTJ. 😂
When it comes to leadership, you're right. I'm an INTJ and i have no interest in being a leader but i'll fill in if someone has to do it. Also although I hate being a leader and have no interest in it, people say all the time that I should be 🤔
humble bragging eh?
@@caine7024 How is that humble bragging? This is one of the most commonly said things when it comes to INTJs and leadership positions - they don't often seek them but make excellent leaders when they do take on that role.
This is so true. I hate leading people (I much prefer to strategise and create systems) but I always seem to end up in management positions because I hate seeing things done badly! 😖
Apparently, we're frequently confused for empaths.
Same.. I don't care much for leading. But people always say that am a natural leader and have great presence. With that said, I have a inferiority complex when my leader is incompetent or I deem them incompetent.. that's where I would WANT to lead.
I like how the difference is way deeper than just ENTJ is extroverted and the INTJ is introverted.
Dude I am not extroverted bit I am an ENTJ .
@@ΣαβίναΓιαννοπούλου Same. I am socially introverted, but cognitively extraverted.

I'm INFJ. I have a very close ENTJ friend who motivates me so much. I feel we can really connect because we both have passion and drive for success. Different ways we go about reaching that success, but we still hunger for it! I think these two types definitely complement each other.
I feel like the INTJ-ENTJ is the perfect match for starting a business (or taking over the world). INTJs are brilliant strategists but often have problems implementing their ideas and taking action, whereas the ENTJ is all about taking action. The ENTJ can take action on the INTJ's ideas, and the INTJ can slow down the ENTJ a bit to make the best decisions/moves. I, an INTJ, have known a few ENTJ women in my life, and I honestly felt like we were unstoppable together.
I'm an intj i hate being complimented, especially when its about somthing i have no control over. For example: how i look.
Hello there Elated Elitist, you wrote
"I'm an intj i hate being complimented, especially when its about something i have no control over. For example: how i look."
From the evidence of personality typing this may not be quite true, (however you were probably not aware of this).
Please view this as it describes quite well how peoples' personalities come out in the way they look over the long term of their lives.

So INTJ is like the strategist formulating the battle plan and handing it over to the ENTJ, the general, who actually goes and leads the men
But as ENTJ is a leader type he just doesn't follow the strategy produced by the INTJ. He only considers them.
Yeah, but only for a second before coming up with a better plan.
in a way yes, INTJ will analyze every possible outcome, set out a plan which will be executed by others, the ENTJ is excellent at executing well thought out plans while being a leader of men at the same time.
More like INTJ creates a plan and uses the ENTJ and their comrades as puppets to pull it off while letting the ENTJ think they're in control ;)
Or perhaps the ENTJ will have already mobilized and blitzed the enemy while the INTJ is still trying to work out the details of his plan.
Beautiful explanation, I always got ENTJ over INTJ but only by a few % so was never sure whether I was ENTJ or INTJ but this video made me realize why I am DEFINITELY an ENTJ and thats because 1. When I get pushed into a corner and under alot of stress, my first thought is go all in and eliminate my target which proves that my Fi is very unhealthy and repressed. 2. I LOVE extroverted sensing whether it be chowing down the best steak I've ever had in my life, driving 280km/h on the highway, feeling the wind blow through me as I jump off a plane etc... I love thrills and adrenaline which means I CANNOT be an INTJ. 3. I do not EVER compete with myself, I only care about out performing others as I am not my own enemy thus why compete with myself? 4. When I get excited with your question, I might shove my opinion down your throat and won't give a rats ass about what you think UNLESS you debunk me with logical solid facts in which case, the next person who asks me the same questions will get my new learned opinion shoved down their throats :D
I know this is an old comment, but as an INTJ, I'd like to offer my perspective. Regarding #3, since INTJs have introverted intuition as their dominate function, INTJs are their own worst enemies, which is why they compete with themselves while ENTJs compete with others; its a difference that results from the way they're wired. For #4: INTJs are the exact same with this, so bad choice of example. That being said, I know the only times I clash with my ENTJ friends is when it comes down to a difference of understanding/opinion. But since we're both NT types, whoever is **actually** right will end up winning the argument by laying out the cold, hard facts and explaining why they're right and the other is wrong. Once the person proving the other wrong has done that, the other person will understand and like you said, their opinion on it will be changed and both can move past the conflict.
@@HalfTimesTwo and, if I may, add to your response to the author (as an INTJ myself); for #2, while adrenaline rushes happen predominantly in our mind, every now and then a brilliant beam of light shines down the dark shaft of our repressed external sensing, wherein we take our thoughts and ideas and put them to the test in the outside world. There's no telling what limitations at that point will apply to the INTJs forceful need for the ultimate adrenaline rush.
Competing with only others is just limiting and killing your own potential i dont agree with you. You wouldnt survive so well in a judgemental/ignorant country i am guessing.
@@sparkle1949 same i dont know why people dont understand the part where we compete within our own limits cause we want to be the best version of ourselves and not only our own society.
@@HalfTimesTwo I think OP meant they do that with everyone, not just friends. Your example was personal whereas their example was objective. So bad choice of counter-example.
I’m an ENTJ, once I read the 48 laws of power by Robert Greene it changed my life, I’m so much more effective in my company. All ENTJs need to listen to this audiobook, it will help you to lead people without putting them off. It’s helped me to rise within my company.
Exactly the comment I needed to read. Thanks
This informs of how when I, an INTJ, was in the military officers would always come to me & ask me what I thought about their idea, plans & strategies. I was always the go to guy for all subjects & plans & someone else always got the credit for my plans, ideas & strategies, because I wanted it that way, as long as the people who got the credit remembered where they got the plans, ideas, & strategies from.
Nick Nixon is your life path #2?
@EJK Boxing...This is how I do at work. I also go a step further when sharing information, if I don't trust the person, I will also secretly share information with someone else so that when one of them states they came up with the info, the other person knows the truth. This has multiple avenues of impact depending on the situation and its always entertaining.
I'm an INTJ (I recently tested again and always get the same result). I'm not disagreeing with your video, but am commenting some differences I notice in myself.
I do not have much sympathy for people who treat others badly because they are stressed or having a bad day; I find it ridiculous to do so because of your own feelings and have no respect for such behavior. If I'm stressed, I prefer to stay away from others or focus on my actions to prevent behaving that way.
I love going to loud concerts and amusement parks - by myself. I think it may be that pulling all that information in and experiencing it inside just as much as outside exhilarates me.
These personalities are just the base of the root and not the whole tree; you are whom who will shape yourself to be as you grow. Your part about the stressed manager is flawed, why? Because you are putting your own opinion on how you will do it. Do you think the manager given in the example will have the same mind set as you? Some can do what you describe but know that not everyone can do that; not everyone can control their emotion. If you are really an INTJ you should always be open minded and critical.
@@Dayz3O6 Exactly, well said.
The INTJ must hold a rather condescending view onto others, else our own high expectations of them would lead us into disappointment and depression.
There's only one person whom you can rely on not to fail, and that's yourself.
This is why I shoot through my teammates on games, and I always have the highest KDR. 😊
@@ReinertZerker I've noticed this unfortunate trend in my personal development. I've always strived to give people reason to never condescend me as I normally appreciate being respected. However, it seems that allowing my mind to wander into said territories might be what I must do for my own mental health. Is my emotional stability a noble sacrifice or am I kidding myself?
It's sad, I really do care for people though I don't know why. Hmm...
its safe to conclude that almost everyone that watched the video is an ntj.
@Jay Jay constructive criticism hurts sometimes if misinterpreted
I’m an ENTJ and I have no INTJs around me. It’s just so frustrating to know that no one is going to understand the way my brain is working. I have to always take care how my friends see me and how much I let them into my brain. And it came to the point where because I had to fake not thinking practically all the time, I lost myself somewhere and slipped into depression.

I just love listening to the way you're explaining things in this video, even though I'm neither an ENTJ nor an INTJ, I'm an INTP. I actually like hearing all INTJs speak, they're so informed, intelligent and confident. It's a a bit of a shame I don't know any in real life. Also, although the differences between the ENTJs and INTJs are subtle as you say, I'd personally prefer being friends with INTJs as I find that INTJs are a teeny bit more intelligent than ENTJs, plus INTJs have a refinement to them that I really like that ENTJs don't have.
Thank you! More INTJ videos. We know ourselves the best. I love how you breakdown the personality type with exanples and visuals. So helpful. More please 😎
Fellow INTJ here. Good vid!
Fantastic discussion about the role of Se on the two types. I'm an INTJ and my Dad is an ENTJ and I always tell him that I get overstimulated in chaotic or loud environments but I have never really been able to explain why. NOW i get it! Thank you! It's because our Se is feeding our dominant functions and my dominant function (Ni) essentially can't keep up with it as well as his (Te). That's really interesting! And SO TRUE for me! "Sensory anxiety" is a good word for it. I've sometimes wondered if I was ever so slightly autistic or something because of it but I didn't really think so. This video explains it well.
Same happens in my case, except I actually am autistic. I'm an INTJ and my dad is an ENTJ.
As an INTJ-A I lead if needed, though generally prefer to let others and stay in the background assessing how to improve what's happening, and any repurcussions.
Your video is too soft. As an ENTJ I do not have the patience to try and listen carefully. Come back when you can be louder. 😂
Allen Lau arrogance, bet you’re ENTJ.
Allen Lau, I'm also an ENTJ and we share the same communication style. Every sentence we write is basically a command. You wrote your comment exactly as I would have - especially the last sentence :) Good job!
Unlike you ENTJ freaks we INTJ's are far more cautious and meticulous. We lack your hubris and that is exactly why we don't charge in tripping over our own feet. I like the guy's talking style. I'm actually watching the video at x0.75 speed because it's even a little bit too fast for me. We INTJ's like to take our time to assimilate all the facts before we draw conclusions. Not rush in. So you ENTJ's may be good... but WE'RE BETTA! xD
Disagree? Come at me brah!
@@Fonch117 its good to take the time that you would need in order to assimilate this video. my question tho would be, as some other people say they watched this video at 1.5x. do you think it is possible that watching it twice you could absorb more? what do you think?
@@salt9879 Isn't it better to watch it once at 0.75 and absorb 90% than watching it on 1.5 and absorbing 70% each time? Plus you won't have to be clicking back and fourth in the video if you miss out a word.
That was very good. I am an INTJ and my dad is an ENTJ and I think you pretty much got it right!
Aubrey Same here... I'm _probably_ an INTJ, although I might be an xNTJ, but my father is clearly an ENTJ and was tested as one. (Surprisingly, earlier in life he was tested as ENTP.) If I dare to question or not follow his commands, he might become pretty aggressive. It's really annoying, especially because NTs don't like to follow, so me either.
Also, same here. My father is ENTJ, and I am INTJ.
I've seen this combination between father and son so often, I've oft wondered if there is some causation involved.
What about father and daughter?
I wouldn't see why not. Or mother/son. But i've only once met a fem I knew was INTJ, and only casually. I knew nothing about her parents, so who knows? It might be interesting to see if there is a pattern there, and if it's limited by gender, or crosses gender equally.
Very interesting, I am also an INTJ (19 years old) and my father is an ENTJ (39 years old). I always admired him since I was little. He is very driven and committed to his projects, extremely intelligent. I always felt that he knew my potential, and now I understand why. Even to this day he encourages me to pursue my goals and he is the ONLY person who inspires me to achieve them, not only through his words, but also through his behavior. I might be wrong but I do think genetics can play a role on this. ENTJ's are very smart individuals and intelligence does transfer to the offspring. Genetics probably do in fact, define ones personality type. But that is just my hypothesis. I am his only son so I can't really provide more evidence on this...
I am an Intj but when I am at work I like to talk people's ears off. When I am at home I never say a word.
My father is an ENTJ, i am an INTJ
We get along most of the time, but sometimes he can be passive aggressive when he wants me to do something and i refused bc i keep questioning him😂
I'm almost 50/50 between I and E. Example from around 6:40 mark, I understand my managers position, and then become angry because I realize how worthless he is. My I doesn't let me forgive. People, and objects should perform their role in society that they agreed to, because they said they would. If not get out of the way.
I'm an INTJ and my best friend is an ENTJ, this was spot on!
Great video! Thank you. The comparisons were extremely helpful. I'm an INTJ who people mistake as an ENTJ.
INFJ here! Enjoyed your video. Makes sense!
I am definitely interested in the relationships between INFJ's/ENTJ's, NFJ's/NTJ's, etc!
My first love was an ENTJ.
And who I call my "church dad" is an ENTJ.. The best Dad I didn't have growing up, but have now!
I definitely think there's a special bond between ENTJ's and INFJ's.
I've just gotten out of a long-drawn out up and down relationship with an INTJ. He thought he was an INFJ and for the first few months I was convinced he was, too. I think he was trying to blend in with me and at the beginning of the relationship embraced his feeling side, more. I finally realized a main reason why we clashed so much in conversation was because of the Te/Fe difference.
Once he started acting more like "himself", he was upset that I didn't embrace this side of him that I didn't even know was important to him when getting to know him in the first place.
I think he was too busy trying to impress me at first maybe.
He talked too much about people's flaws. (And mine, eventually) It exhausted me.
I defended all sides that he wasn't acknowledging. That seemed to be what exhausted him.
Something that I realized that may help you also is combining mbti with Enneagram. No question I am an INTJ. However, if you look at my Enneagram I type 8w7. Most of the time especially when it comes to business you would think I was an entj. I prefer my solitude to think and hate going to loud places. Now at the same time I have no issues taking over an entire room. I tend to be very aggressive in destroying anything that gets in my way of achieving my goal. I actually enjoy having people come at me or going after them. Comes very natural and enjoy taking the center of attention as long it's not a room full of idiots. Then I will call them out. Point is by using both personality methods paints a much clearer portrait
Shawn Martin I agree. Many with the knowledge of MBTI, without taking into account the Enneagram, would mistype me as an incredibly introverted ENTJ.
I feel the same way! Im an INTJ and 8w7 also! I don't feel comfortable if Im not in charge of everything goes on. But here's a lil advice from my closest friend, he said, the difference between Charming, charismatic leader and a Narssicist jerk is too subtle for INTJs that often time INTJs can not figure out what kind of leader they are.
Shawn Martin same with me, INTJ combined with Enneagram I type8w7
Great video! I am an ENTJ, and I used to have a difficult time to controlling my emotions, but with much reading on proactive thinking verses reactive. I have learned to feel my emotions and let go in order to take an object view of the situation. I still lose control sometimes, but much less. I agree that we have a harder time to control our emotions. Thank you for the insight! What is funny is my brother is an INTJ, but he is more emotional than me. Haha
The same with my sister. They tend to be more melancholic and gloomy. But prob that's just because they don't like to speak their mind.
INTJ is the mastermind, the planner, the strategist with dreams as big as the multiverse itself or bigger. ENTJ is the person who goes out and strives to make those dreams a reality.
ENTJ, if can defer the judgement to INTJ could become a team even gods would envy.
My best friend in the Marines was an ENTJ. The dark sense of humor, the banter...it was just a natural bond.
He was a firecracker... constantly in trouble, somehow I avoided it, perhaps my introversion hid me in the background.
I been a fan of mobster movies. If I had to describe the INTJ/ENTJ in a mobster way. I would say my best friend was the Don, the one that drove the bus. I was the lawyer, the one with the map and compass.
I prefer to work for an honest ENTJ, and just whisper in thier ear. Most likely he/she will be more effective implementing my ideas than I would.
just took the test, i thought i was an INFJ due to the videos ive seen and how I relate so strongly. But turns out im an ENTJ and thats dead on accurate. Im not extremely extroverted as compared to others but I definitely am an entj as they describe it. I work really hard and kinda seem arrogant because how focused I am. But the thing is, life is running out and no1 really cares about us at the end of the day so the best we can do is work as hard as we can and be grateful for every opportunity that God presents us with in life. Do this and create as great of a life for our children and their children as we can before we are gone.
Totally fake. INTJs also watch videos with 2x because they have no patience. Not to talk about INTP lack of patience. The point is, that is not an exclusive ENTJ trait.
I don’t watch in 2x but I often end up not watching everything because they’re just repeating themselves
For me, I just don't watch it too fast or too slow. I just skip certain parts so I can get it straight right away without talking monologs.
calm tf down. lack of patience applies to every single personality type in different ways- its just more common in entjs
True, but chill.
Please shut up.
wow. i have a very good friend who is entj, while i'm intj. he's prolly looking at this now cuz i just sent him this video. this is spot on about us! seriously. you're describing the very few differences between us. it causes no conflict, but we're just different like brothers.
YES! I *HATE* loud noises, roller coasters, blasting radios, barking dogs, etc. I went to a concert once and I found the perfect volume level was standing outside the stadium next to my car.
This is so funny because other videos say INTJ's are the inflexible ones who get upset when their plans are ruined and can't necessarily think on their feet. And ENTJ's the ones who listen more to the opinions and thoughts of others and are quicker on their feet since they aren't as upset when their plans are ruined. Hence, the ENTJ's are the ultimate adaptable strategists.
This is very good !!!! I like how you make connections between functions and not just analyse every function on its own. I'm an INTJ and I have an ENTJ friend and this makes so much sense !! Continue making videos. You're really so good at it ! ;)
This is awesome. It's the subtle differences that are hardest to explain. And this explained it excellently!
Another fellow INTJ here 🙂 This describes the INTJ perfectly! I love your explanation. It's thorough and you even answered some questions I've had about my own actions and habits. You're awesome! Just subscribed. Thanks for the video!
Im glad you liked it! I have an INTJ overview video as well that goes in depth on the type ^^
Awesome! I'm about to look for it =)
This video was really cool to look at as an intj, most of it fits perfectly in with how i am and how i do things. Great work mate
I personally think ENTJ's are willing to put their theories to test and error, which makes them way less arrogant than INTJ's as they know by experience what works in reality and what doesn't.
I disagree, I think this is something that's more of a person to person basis. On the one hand, I know ENTJs who are incredibly arrogant because of the experience they possess and because they know what's worked out for them in the past. On the other hand, INTJs (me being one) can be incredibly arrogant because our knowledge and understanding of theory is so concrete that when we then see the theory in action (whether by applying it ourselves or seeing someone else apply it) and it works, we aren't even surprised because we already knew it would work in the first place (which is also why INTJs tend to plan further ahead than ENTJs). So it's like ENTJs can be arrogant because of their experience of what works and INTJs can be arrogant because of their knowledge of what will come to be.
But if you want to go based off this video, which I'll assume is coherent with the theory behind MBTI , than ENTJs being dominant judgers while INTJs being dominant perceivers would suggest that ENTJs are arrogant more often than INTJs are.
I guess I’m an ENTJ despite testing INTJ multiple times. I think I’m introverted, but I move and solve problems like an ENTJ.
INTJ and you are spot on regarding leadership. I can tolerate weak or faulty leadership only a certain amount of time before I start getting involved. I spot all the flaws constantly. And I hate being told what to do by a person who is clearly not making good decisions. That said, I also don't want to lead all by myself because I know my flaws. I'm so much more comfortable when I got someone else I can trust and with whom I can mentally spar and exchange ideas. I don't hate people, I always try to understand their point of view and make compromises if possible. Just like you said ;)
At the end of the day both ENTJ and INTJ are smart and good planners, one with goal-focus and the other focused on the strategy (which cand either get to overthinking or to a better plan to get the goal).
The only real difference I can see is in the morality of these two. ENTJ will go to get the goal no matter why (that can mean stepping on moral principles). While INTJ will never step on what he believes it is right, not for a stupid goal at least.
So yeah, INTJs are idealists for their good reasons while the others just don't fucking care about those childish excuses, they have a goal to get, achieving a goal just for the sake of it, no bigger plan.
For this reason I suspect ENTJs are more inclined to risk and to fellonies while INTJs are more careful. But the world is for those who risk, right?
I feel 50/50 cause I demand leadership positions. Even when I try avoiding it, people around me see me as the leader regardless. I’m also very fine tuned with my emotions. I know exactly what people feel and can read body language with precision. I am also very perceptive. I tell people exactly what’s going to happen, but I do think far into the future and assess outcomes.
I feel more 51/49.
Because of early intervention therapy growing up due to aspergers, I’m very much of a weird blunt between INTJ, INFJ and ENTJ however I’m mostly INTJ compared to the other personalities.
ENTJ will care about power and position but and an INTJ will care about others and gets shit done too.
Their plans will be more successful than ENTJs and people will love them because of their morals.
belal noor right
you get the point the morals brings in.
Lol, this is the dumbest oversimplification and the reason why people still consider this a pseudoscience.
And no, I know plenty of INTJs who don't give a shit about others and openly admit it.
@@princessunikitty7275 they very well might not be INTJs, especially being that we're a very rare personality type (particularly females) and you claim to know "plenty"? I believe it's the ISTJ (I could definitely be wrong) that kinda takes an apathetic position on others' wellbeing. As an INTJ I will by no means deny not giving a fuck about excess emotion. Like, I don't need somebody crying every time I go in for an oil change.
👏🔥
Would i be right in assuming that they could work in tandem as "the leader" and "the adviser"? As an INTJ, I have known several ENTJs that use me as their backboard or vice to keep them in check or aligned with their plans (my signature phrase is "good plan"). Lately ive been considering dating a friend of mine who is an ENTJ who has many of the same aspirations and long term plans as me. Ive been thinking a lot about the nearly symbiotic relationship we would have as a couple. So my question is; do u think a relationship between these two types can be characterized as that of a king or queen and their counsel?
I love this idea!
"Well you should have done it, you messed up"
My life as an ENTJ when people ask me for advice and then go the opposite way of what I tell them to do. Trust us, we mold ideas into reality.
My brother is an ENTJ and i am a INTP, and i think that this is really, really accurate.
I'm INTJ and I can see where this man is coming from. Thank you for this video.
What you said about INTJ that they want to be better than they were yesterday is so true.
And I always have believed that every person should do that.. constantly become better than they are, always excel.
@INxJ you yourself will define what is better for you.
I think that INTJ is just a bit lazier than the ENTJ from expressing emotions and actions
Verina Flame as an INTJ I would prefer to not risk myself being the image someone with less value can be the figure, but I will pull the strings.
I feel like INTJs are in general lazier than ENTJs given the fact that they have only themselves to compete with whereas ENTJs are far from lazy....
It just has to do with Ni, since it is too abstract for the real world. As an INTJ, I also tend to be lazy if things aren't going as planned.
INTJ here. I love being the center of attention. I have given speeches, performed in bands and theater, and I'm working on starting a podcast with some friends now. This is only true when I either have a level of competency that allows me to be successful in my goal regardless of possible variables I couldn't predict and/or when I trust at least one person I am with to help me be successful if something comes up in the process. Otherwise, good lord, why do I ever leave the house?! lol... Anyway, excellent video!
Basically I'm INTJ but when it comes to dealing with works,occupation & dealing with people i naturally become ENTJ & ENFJ.Its Amazing.☺
I'm an INTJ and my sister is an ENTJ. This is all very accurate. Although we both think very similarly about situations, people think we are extremely different from each other. I like the management example you gave because it reminds me of when our parents are in a bad mood and how we react. She voices her complaints on why they are being unreasonable while I try to process and analyze why they are doing so. Great video!
Mastermind > Commander
ENTJ ≥ INTJ
Nope.
Commander > Edgelord wannabes
ENTJ is like Top Player and INTJ is like Hacker.
You're all too blinded by your own arrogance.
nah more like ENTJ is a party leader of real players where the INTJ is the party leader of npcs where he has total control of them
Gottfried Leibniz yaaaas
I am an ENTJ female with an INTJ father, thanks for the helpful video! I would say about leadership though, especially being a turbulent type and being a female, I don't always like to lead either. Most of the time I can feel insecure if I know there is somebody else who can lead better than me. I would hate to let others down and embarrass myself in the process. This is especially the case since I'm only 16 and still fall under the authority of teachers and parents.
Enjoyed the video and your concise delivery very much. Being an INTJ as well I very much understand and see/have seen these perspectives/perceptions regarding myself others I know and have known, and it was almost an audiobook story about my youngest brother (Dillon ENTJ and I (INTJ).
I used to work at a furniture store in the warehouse (perfect system with potential to improve upon if manager/supervisor is not analytical or intuitive). Within mins-days (depending on the task/focus) I'd innovatively personalize the steps or methods for different tasks, until after understanding most or all the intermediate connections of the system I would begin to suggest and demonstrate efficiency with tasks and how that would improve multiple aspects down the line, annnd make my job easier and faster so I could return to my own life quicker, made everything more self-sufficient, and was paid the same (salary). I never sought out recognition or discounted another's perspective without explaining the improvements mine allowed from understanding the learned benefit of tact. And in the end of one doesn't care to examine and possibly try/use my perspective, unless it unavoidably affects me I don't continue to push my opinion (though it may be objectively valid), I will just end transmission and continue with my thing.
Subscribed, thanks again.
This was very enlightening. I’ve been tested by my work places and score higher INTJ, BUT my employers see my scores which are overall 51%INTJ TO 49%ENTJ. This always is surprising to them and myself. This really helped me understand why this has occurred.
Thank you and I can comfortably now say I resemble more the INTJ.
As an ENTJ I'd say there's a lot of overlapping with me in particular when it comes to preferences of how I handle things. There are things you'd typically expect an INTJ would do that I would do and to someone who just met me I might seem as an INTJ sometimes because I am in a state of observation and analyzing when dealing with new entities. I must gather some data about them before fully engaging with them, I am constantly reading them and taking down notes consciously and unconsciously quickly. Deciphering their image and their body language to paint a picture of who this person is before I am to figure out what to do with them and what purpose do they serve and how much of my time shall the be worth. Now that's not me trying to be over the top it's just a defense mechanism for me, I have to know who and what I am dealing with and some of the variable's to feel safe and knowing the right actions to take with people. To most non NT types this may seem like a lot of work but to a NT this is happening so damn fast on the fly it can hardly be said to be happening at all, it doesn't cost that much energy because this is normal day to day shit in a TE world xD
I get that. It's completely normal, to be honest, and not just an INTJ thing as most people make it out to be, since ENTJs are in the NT family they're big-picture oriented, and since extroverted thinking is their primary function, that serves as the decision-making function. Then, their secondary function which is introverted intuition serves as an information-gathering function and supports their first function. So, when ENTJs need to gather information for whatever reason, they'll be on it as much as any other NT type, especially INTJ for comparison. Being judgmental of others, looking down on others, or being hypersensitive to criticism and feelings is normal for ENTJs when under stress, and that sort of sounds a little like that. It's also fine to take mental notes on who's worth your time and who isn't, and that's not exclusive to INTJs because ENTJs aren't always one hundred percent extroverted and can need time to recharge as well. -Coming from an introverted-ENTJ (thanks to Fi and many emotions)
Nice job explaining that their differences are more stereotypical, while on paper, they're almost the same. I bet they're just as similar within too.
I’m an ENTJ and my cousin who is a few months older than me is an INTJ. It’s really cool to see how we are different and similar. For example, she’s better at keeping her cool but I’m better at approaching people and starting up a conversation.
INTJ here: I don't know if other INTJs are similar but it is sometimes very difficult to win my respect as a leader above me. I respond much better to someone speaking to me as an equal that just has less experience. I can also feel very stifled by "leaders" who find me threatening. I don't want their position (I prefer autonomy), but if such a demonstration of weakness continues I may have to cease it (or just leave).
Completely agree although I've had some of them insist on wars with me having ZERO IDEA who they're f' ing with. I destroy them thoroughly first, THEN leave.
@@toolboxevolution7456 The destruction part is always fair. I usually just remove what I've contributed, which will undoubtedly set them back months.
@@dacksonflux totally agree! That, however, is just for dumb but not evil. Once they cross the evil threshold though, it's time to level everything in the cleverest and most devastating way possible. My wrath has to be nurtured and earned, but once they get me there it is only juicy and spectacular!
I’m an ambivert girl, but I think the ENTJ profile suits me better. I tend to be somewhat impulsive struggling to see my ideas turning into tangible reality, I have little patience about speculations of no practical use. I literally think aloud and I process my ideas better this way. As a Fi inferior sometimes it’s not easy to accept my real self and be in touch with my moral and ideals. Se plays a relevant role giving me a love for aesthetics, good looks and food, and I tend to enjoy and feel alive when a lot is happening around me. I like to be in charge and be looked up to, and in general I love handling and processing things myself.
Excellent video! Great explanation. I have been very confused about the differences between the two. Thank you!
Thank you, I enjoyed the video.I also liked the sound of your voice, it's very pleasing to the ear.
I'm INTJ
And...
I mean, i always think about the perspective of the person that i'm having problems with. But even tho i can understand why they are acting like that, i will always preffer to get rid of that person cause i care more about me not having those problems than caring about his feelings. I can understand you, but if you already treated me badly, i don't even care if you aren't there.
I checked myself before and I was ENTJ, very loud and socializing... Until social distancing happened,, checked myself again, then boom INTJ, putting utmost importance for my alone time. I think there's some sort of a pattern here 🤔
Thanks a lot for this video! I really appreciate it. Really clear and insightful; all made a lot of sense and I feel like a have a better grasp of these two types now :)
I am an ENTJ and my best bud is INTJ and we are going to rule the fucking world.
DEFINITELY! As an INTJ, I would rather be in the background as far as leadership roles are concerned, but I have stepped up into those roles a few times, successfully throughout my years. Now I'm self-employed.
Good video!
"Overbearing with their opinions and thoughts"- 100 percent. Thank you for the clarification. I tie on the cognitive type testing with NI and TE. They are always tied. I am very loud when need be and do clearly voice all of my opinions and am definitely not in the background yet am not social either hence the confusion. Thank you for the this.
My partner and I are both very similar but she is an INTJ and I thought I was too but she thinks I am more extroverted and I am certainly more goal-oriented and wanting to get things done. This video really seems to suggest that I am an ENTJ. I will say that I am incredibly impatient and often want to snap at my team members at work because they're too slow lol. I think I can be annoying to them but they also depend on me a lot despite the fact that I am the youngest on the team. I love trying to lead them despite that not technically being my job.
My wife and I are both INTJ's and let me tell you, there's no other better type than your own. That's if you're willing to hold fast and fight for each other.
They say intj's are more likely to date their own type than any other mbti types. How & where'd you guys meet.
INTJ here. There's no place that INTJs "hang out" To meet. 😞
most INTJs lead without having the title of leader, we manipulate people around us to get them to do what we deem best and let them indulge in the attention we dont care for, after all, we just want the results.
Omg. Nailed it!
I am right on that edge between E and I. Thanks for the video.
If you are watching this video and are stuck between whether you are an entj or intj then you are probably intj
There are many videos like this but yours explains the "why". I don't prefer the center of attention role because I don't have time to fully analyze the future if I'm distracted with all that attention etc. I can lead well but simply don't prefer it. Thanks so much!!!
I worked with an ENTJ before. Bossy and always making demands despite just being a grunt, but was one of the most incompetent idiots I've ever met.
Perhaps it was a lack of auxiliary Introverted Intuition (Ni) development. ENTJs at their healthiest have a well-developed Ni in their personality.
I adore how ENTJs are getting bashed based off of internet stereotypes or one personal encounter and not on any of their actual functions. This shit is wild. It's crazy again how there's so many intj's when they're pretty rare in comparison to other types, and how a lot of "intjs" brag about their superior intelligence. Like damn we get it yall. Us ENTJS are so bossy and rude and we're just the icon of idfk elon musk. Like damn. Yeah, get back to work! Haha I'm going to pop spit bubbles! Like we aren't patrick the star.... I just can't do this anymore man with the STEREOTYPES.
And they probably weren't even and ENTJ. They were bossy so you were like; Ah let me refer to the internet stereotypes of ENTJs.
Watched this video in 2x speed. Guess which one I am 😅
INTJ
ENTJ. Because they got no patience
ENTJ
I'm an INTJ, but present behaviors that are visibly "extroverted". Life experience and the cumulative way we "build" our worldview can give us our MBTI-type a WIDE ARRAY of external styles/career paths and circumstantial temperaments. I grew up in a very socially aggressive and dangerous environment, and Se understood the facts as they were presented, Ni saw the revolving pattern that the meek was food.
Te demanded "protection" for Fi, and I get assertive and confrontational to whatever degree required to check the perceived or real threat. But the clue I leave is AFTER the threat, it takes a minute to cool down, but then I am back on focus (whatever goal that got me on the grind in the 1st place). BTW, leadership styles between the two (INTJ/ENTJ) are similar, but the key IMO is I am most concerned with the most effective and efficient way of getting something "worth doing" done - and experience informed me that excellence cannot be imposed, but can be inspired or encouraged. A trial for a person that doesn't have a strong internal "social" drive like INTJ's - a continual work in progress.
But worth learning when I have to come forward and resolve silliness posing as leadership. I be pissed - but I am more effective when angry bc I get out of the Ni/Se loop of trying to understand the "right perspective", into my Te/Fi loop which makes me driven and uncompromising on a viable solution - and shaping and pushing it into reality best I can.
Huh. It's interesting how personal experiences shape things with our MBTI-type. Just wanted to say as an ENTJ I present behaviors that are visibly "introverted" and I thought it was weird that no one else was commenting about this. Thanks to my Fi in general, it's hard for me to cope with any emotion I feel, so I prefer going about things more in an introverted way. It's something I'm struggling with constantly and have had little to no time to work on it with rapid changes, so it's still my weakest, causing me to be in a default state of passive-aggressiveness or anger, especially with authoritative figures or close friends so I've just gone down the; alone time and recharge route. And then with my Ni, I'll be trying to focus and figure out "why" I'm in a constant state of anger, but when I try to find the root cause, my Fi gets me worked up all over again and it's sort of a cycle.
Or, better yet, thanks to my Fi I'll constantly go around telling people what's wrong, why it's wrong, and how we all should be fixing the problem causing emotional distress for the people involved, commonly in a back-handed passive-aggressive way. The only time I'm even remotely "extroverted" currently is when I'm really worked up about a complication or problem that can't be understood, or if I find a logical fallacy that I believe to be incorrect (Like why authoritative figures do things without explanations for example) That's when I'm really about and running my mouth lol. Or as people MBTI-involved like the words "center of attention" but just to drive a point home to where it's overkill, then I go back to recharge time.
Te comes in handy with letting people know how things are, why they are, and how to fix them like right now, and that makes me come off extroverted, and yes it is my primary function, but I'm mainly struggling with Fi and Ni. Instead of using my Ni to improve my Fi, like I've been trying, it backfired and makes me more passive-aggressive or angry or something when I get to the root cause of why I'm like this and what's causing it. So while I'm brainstorming and thinking of ways to just not snap out, I don't say much, I get mad when people cut off my train of thought and go to be alone, or I go on about an opinion or why things are the way they are, how to change them, how to solve it, then back to introverted tendencies. Even with my "leader" kind of style with telling people how things are done and why they should be done like that, or just pointing out obvious problems whether that be literal, metaphorical, or emotional that others just overlook, I'll be using Ni too much to really try and get points across because I only use Te thanks to my Fi when I'm upset or provoked, so it's hard to even get into that "leader style" if that makes sense.
@@-_-NannO_- well you are definitely "in tune" with your Fi, it's actually a very powerful and, IMO, important cognitive trait in these times bc its less receptive to group/mob influence over our values. And that's why it triggers frustration bc due to your Te, it's so obvious the common value models we see in practice makes absolutely no beneficial sense.
The Ni is being triggered bc it seeks to "make a path" via the social environment regardless, and it's relatively bleek for the same reasons just covered - a pandemic and antisocial and counterproductive norms is very weak material for our minds to work with - hence the Introverted approach to the social environment - it only logical as per your EJ style - things that "don't make sense" frustrates our "freedom", Fi and Ni is our liberty functions. Bet you guard your right for individuality fiercely, usually reflexively. Also inevitable, bc although the zeitgeist is all about "liberalism and non-judgmental", the luciferians (that's the underlying philosophy driving the modern mind, you should research Egoism, it's insightful), are bullies and take personal offense against Fi - values that are not mirroring their own, but instead we qualify our value systems to ourselves, so it's virtually not moved by external pressure - one of the rarest of the cognitive functions bc Fe is "ethic/conventional" morals - which is a characteristic is narcs and psychopaths (Fe aren't necessarily either, but they are receptive to really bad social practices as long as they're generally accepted, just the the narcs who lack any morality other than expediency.
Anyway, you obviously spent well invested time in making the connection between your internal mental framework and how it interacts/interpret and respond to it.
My weakest function Se, also makes these days a little more difficult to connect to most people. The anger we experience sometimes is really being triggered by the impulse to alter the social environment we find ourselves in.
If/when we understand a little better, we can comfortably relieve ourselves of those efforts (and yes that's going to be a major challenge for our types bc our functions collectively, are inherently configured to shape our reality - it's the whole point of Ni+Te+Fi - understand "what is" and understand "what needs to be" and "how to transform is to should".
Works great in business and other forms of problems solving efforts, but a dead end (hence frustration) among our people. But, I'm still grateful that I'm not Fe... I'd be disgusted with myself to be so internally disconnected that I couldn't see how backwards the "norms" are.
Peace and power... just allow and know, all outcomes are predetermined in as much as jumping off building has a predetermined outcome. Be still and guard against falling prey to the judgements of others.
@@bkbornshahid774 That does make a lot of sense. As you've stated, it's better to have Fi instead of Fe, since Fe-based types are more likely to conform to norms that have their butt's on backward than to really think about underlying problems in the norms that they conform to, and the pros and or cons of conforming to *any* set of norms. It's better to have a moral compass, perse because when you do it's values that are deemed important to us and normally help to keep that individuality. It would also make sense to be frustrated, almost by default, when common norms or value models whether being used in practice or as an ideal make no logical sense whatsoever. Most of these norms that people seem to mindlessly follow end up doing more harm than good to themselves or others depending on the setting. Then seeking praise from an altogether hive-mind social setting or any other setting is like adding fuel to the fire since instead of determining your own values, you adapt just about anyone's values that give you praise. (Fe) Not to say all Fe types are like that, but for the most part all Fe types *can* be like that.
Fi and Ni are great cognitive combinations in general, but when not used to using them it's stressful. Having to guard your individuality fiercely and yes also reflexively can be exhausting when it doesn't seem necessary to guard in the first place. But as you said it'll always be inevitable as long as people try to shove their copy and paste values down your throat. Taking Fi for weakness is blatantly just trying to shove the whole; do this, follow that- without an explanation. (What "bullies" in this context typically do to try and counteract that detached; I'll follow what's right to me, mindset.)
From what you've said, glad that I made that connection because if I were a Fe I would literally be too conscious-heavy on every choice. I don't understand how Fe comes naturally to some types, and how they follow paths so easily already laid out for them. But quite actually to each their own, yk.
Se paired with Ni (that primary function) can often lead to being stuck in place trying to figure out how to go about things, but to a consistent rate where it can do more damage than good. Especially considering that Se is your weakest function. It would make absolute sense for when you use Se, you get angered by certain things off the bat due to that internal struggle of the right way to go about things. Practicing your Te could definitely help with your Se because when you use Te to list off pros and cons and then try and apply Se, it's often a smoother running system. (Not telling you how to improve on Se, but in general, it is beneficial.) And under stress, INTJs Se becomes their greatest weakness just like how with ENTJs their Fi becomes their greatest weakness (since neither type is used to using their weakest functions, there are always emotional setbacks or mental outlash from using them without balancing it out.) But who said that any type can't improve on its weakest functions? And with that analysis, I'd say that you must already be hammering down your Se using Te since you showed both in that overall paragraph. Moving on.
Agreed, though. Having to understand certain things gets tricky, and since our cognitive functions (altogether, Ni, Te, Fe as you said) try to strive for change no matter the setting. In standardized social settings, it becomes a dead end since oftentimes nobody will want change which leads back to frustration sometimes and in other cases shutting down temporarily whether ENTJ or INTJ. "NJ" gets like that, but "NT", the conceptualizers (AKA big picture thinkers) can go into a downwards spiral of being closed off or angry at social setting-type things that have many faults.
All in all, thank you for the advice and insight, though. Made a lot of sense. Just be and let be, live and let live. Not everything will go according to plans and regulations and that's alright. But until workarounds come into play it's fine to be angry (in some cases) or just dissatisfied at external factors that aren't logical or helpful.
@@-_-NannO_- and thanks for the advice on Se... I rationally understand it offers a benefit to my overall personally and interpersonal life experiences... but in practice it often "feels" like a liability.
Is it really surprising people, whatever their MBTI type, would lean into their introverted mental characteristics in a highly volatile social environment we all face today?
I can only imagine the difficulties extrovert dominant types must be facing since a large part of the life experiences are fueled by social interactions/acceptance. I would not wish that on any... except the most vile of enemies. A hell of sorts where the thing you seek most for fulfillment (social connections) will make things worse 95% of the time.
I do have an insight on how Se seems to impact me most - it's rooted in my relative "optimism". If/when I can reasonable support a viable bemeficial outcome, it serves as additional motivation, but when prospects, as I see it at the time, are trash, Se crashes my energy/motivation.
I take one upside in the self analysis though, if it were not for the adversities and all around social chaos, what would be the driver of deeper self investigation? Necessity is indeed the mother of invention, so every knock offers an opportunity... but only if/when I can recognize it as such by distancing myself personally from the social feedback - a take a 3rd person perspective - then it's clear as crystal.
Peace and progress on your ENTJ journey.
I hope the audio was a bit better... I like to listen to the video more..
Intj here...
I low key formed a coupe de gras at my old workplace. I was assistant manager and my goal was to replace general manager. I acheived my goal by manipulating everyone of my subordinates to take action. I like to think that everything would have happened they way it did had I not been there in the first place and I was only acting as an catalyst to speed up the process. After my goal had been reached, I left because the whole company was shit anyway and I never had any intention to be a general manager myself. The place now has an entirely different staff. :)
An ENTJ will question you even when the answer is obvious. They question because they want to boss, it's also their version of small talk. An INTJ will question when they have a question, or when they're giving you a question.
You helped me more clearly see my flaws. I thank you.
im both intj and entj i have tryed many diffrent test after i got told i had both. and yea im both.
i love my brain and how i am im lucky
I am both intj and entj since i might not like socialise a lot but i cannot live without other people. They are the reason why i push my limits
its like i was talking LOL! so glad to find others like me! INTJS! We mold the world with our questioning of posibilities!
ENTJs are excellent leaders, and most of all they like the position. I can be a good leader too, but I don’t necessarily like it. Working together with an ENTJ in the future, perhaps being their second hand, would be ideal for me.
Speaking as an ENTJ by function stacks: I wouldn't say ENTJ are more suited to leadership. Te applies the facts the person learned to rationalize the external world. This can come off as judgmental to many people and wouldn't necessarily make a good leader. I would consider INTJ or ESTP better at leadership (one predicts the future, the other is good at interacting with the environment)
But I agree the part that ENTJ sets the goal, then strategize, while the INTJ strategizes, then makes a decision.
Its scary how accurate you are.
simple entj test: If you watch the video in 1.5+ speed you likely are one
I don't know I'm INTJ but still like being in the lead and unlike ENTJ I would be a very calm and understanding leader because I don't show much emotions and you will always find me making plans and strategies rather than judging my team mates and they will find me very calm and quiet
I am in between these 2. I consider myself an ambivert though I might lean more towards intj
ENTJ think outloud and suffer from foot in mouth. If you blurt out your thoughts you're an ENTJ. If can't sit still for long. You're ENTJ. Otherwise, you're INTJ. They're more chill and focused.
