Insight into: ENTJ, 'The Pioneer'




If you are an ENTJ, you share your type with 3-5 percent of the USA population. You have an Intuitive Thinker temperament: the Keirsey 'Rational'. If you are typical, you see possibilities in all things and are happy to direct others in bringing your vision to reality.

The order of dominance for your different preferences is:

  1. Thinking
  2. Intuition
  3. Sensing
  4. Feeling

As a dominant thinker, you will tend to make your decisions based on logic and impersonal analysis. You will respond to challenges by making objective assessments and acting accordingly.

Also check out ESTJ (the other extraverted thinking type) and others close to you in score.

The ENTJ's extraverted thinking preference makes them a take-charge type, basing their approach to the outside world on the conclusions reached by reflection.

The addition of the intuitive preference means that the ENTJ will be future oriented and will focus more on ways of improving the system and less on maintaining it.

The ENTJ is a great leader and decision maker and extremely good at anything that requires reasoning and intelligence. Driven to be highly competent, they can spot flaws and devise solutions to them with great ease and enthusiasm.

They are hardworking and learning oriented, and are unlikely to be daunted by complex problems. Indeed, their energy and enthusiasm is so great that they continually seek for further challenges.

ENTJs are good organizers of people because they have the ability to see ahead and communicate their vision.

As partners, ENTJs will apply themselves in accordance with their perceived return. This will not necessarily be a conscious assessment and partners may experience them as somewhat detached.

At times, the ENTJ can seem blunt, impatient and insensitive. They can be argumentative and difficult to approach. They tend to ignore their own feelings which can then overflow and explode on those closest to them.

These issues obviously repay efforts in personal growth, but more useful would be for ENTJs to find a constructive outlet for their feelings. They could also check to see whether their confidence is as solid as it appears.

Their personal power and success can be increased by allowing themselves to take advice and assistance from others.

Under stress, the ENTJ will tend to drive too hard, making decisions too quickly and without sufficient consultation with others. S/he may become excessive in many behaviors and, if his or her powerful self-image is hurt, s/he can become very withdrawn.

On the whole, the ENTJ tends to control life, organizing systems and people to meet task oriented goals. S/he often takes the role of executive or director, using a business-like and impersonal approach. Because his or her basic driver is the search for excellence, s/he may appear intolerant of people who do not set high standards for themselves.

Jobs for ENTJs include:

Executive, senior manager, administrator, personnel manager, sales manager, marketing manager, marketing executive, advertising account manager, international sales and marketing, economic analyst, mortgage broker, stockbroker, investment banker, consultant of different kinds, management trainer, attorney, judge, psychiatrist, chemical engineer.
