never in a million years bring themselves to subjugate their own needs to thegreater ambition of something larger and morelasting than themselves. For those people, work will always befirst and foremost about what they get—thefame,
fortune, power, adulation, and so on. Work will never be aboutwhat they build, create, and contribute. Frank, decisive, assume leadership readily. Quickly see illogical and inefficient procedures and policies, develop and implement
comprehensive systems to solveorganizational problems. Enjoy long-term planning and goal setting. Usually well informed, well read, enjoy expanding their knowledge and passing it on to others. Forceful in presenting their ideas. natural
born leaders. They livein a world of possibilities where they see all sorts challenges to besurmounted, and they want to be the ones responsible for surmounting them. They have adrive for leadership, which is well-served by their quickness
to grasp complexities, their ability to absorb a large amount of impersonal information, and their quick and decisivejudgments. They are "takecharge" people. ENTJs are very career-focused, and fit into the corporate world quite naturally.
They are constantly scanning their environment for potential problems which they can turn into solutions. They generally see things froma long-range perspective, and areusually successful at identifying plans to turn problems around -
especially problems of a corporate nature. ENTJs are usually successful in the business world, because they are so driven to leadership. They're tireless in their efforts on the job, and driven to visualize where an organization is headed. For
these reasons, they are natural corporate leaders. There is not much room for error in theworld of the ENTJ. They disliketo seemistakes repeated, and have no patiencewith inefficiency. They may become quite harsh when their patience is
tried in these respects, because they are not naturally tuned in to people's feelings, and more than likely don't believethat they should tailortheir judgments in consideration for people's feelings. ENTJs, like many types, have difficulty seeing
things from outside theirown perspective. Unlike othertypes, ENTJs naturally havelittlepatiencewith people who do not see things the same way as the ENTJ. The ENTJ needs to consciously work on recognizing the value of other
people's opinions, as well as the value of being sensitive towards people's feelings. In theabsence of this awareness, theENTJ will bea forceful, intimidating and overbearing individual. This may be areal problem for the ENTJ, who may be
deprived of important information and collaboration from others. In their personal world, it can make some ENTJs overbearing as spouses or parents. The ENTJ has a tremendous amount of personal power and presence which will work for
them as a force towards achieving theirgoals. However, this personal power is also an agent ofalienation and self-aggrandizement, which theENTJ would do well to avoid. ENTJs are very forceful, decisiveindividuals. They make decisions
quickly, and arequick to verbalize their opinions and decisions to the rest oftheworld. TheENTJ who has not developed their Intuition will make decisions too hastily, without understanding all of the issues and possiblesolutions. On the
other hand, an ENTJ who has not developed their Thinking sidewill have difficulty applying logic to their insights, and will often make poor decisions. In that case, they may have brilliant ideas and insight into situations, but they may have
little skill at determining how to act upon their understanding, or their actions may be inconsistent. An ENTJ who has developed in agenerally less than ideal way may becomedictatorial and abrasive- intrusively giving orders and direction
without a sound reason for doing so, and without consideration for thepeople involved. Although ENTJs are not naturally tuned into other people's feelings, theseindividuals frequently have very strong sentimental streaks. Often these
sentiments are very powerful to the ENTJ, although they will likely hide it from general knowledge, believing thefeelings to be aweakness. Becausethe world of feelings and values is not where theENTJ naturally functions, they may
sometimes make valuejudgments and hold onto submerged emotions which are ill-founded and inappropriate, and will causethemproblems - sometimes rather serious problems. ENTJs love to interact with people. As Extroverts, they're
energized and stimulated primarily externally. There's nothing more enjoyable and satisfying to theENTJ than having alively, challenging conversation. They especially respect people who are ableto stand up to the ENTJ, and argue
persuasively fortheir point of view. Therearen't too many people who will do so, however, because theENTJ is avery forceful and dynamic presence who has a tremendous amount of self-confidenceand excellent verbal communication
skills. Even the most confident individuals may experience moments ofself-doubt when debating a point with an ENTJ. ENTJs want their home to be beautiful, well-furnished, and efficiently run. They're likely to place much emphasis on
their children being well-educated and structured, to desire acongenial and devoted relationship with their spouse. At home, theENTJ needs to bein charge as much as heor shedoes in their career. The ENTJ is likely best paired with
someone who has a strong self-image, who is also a Thinking type. Because theENTJ is primarily focused on their careers, some ENTJs have a problem with being constantly absent from home, physically ormentally. TheENTJ has many
gifts which make it possible for them to have a great deal of personal power, if they don't forget to remain balanced in their lives. They areassertive, innovative, long-rangethinkers with an excellent ability to translatetheories and
possibilities into solid plans of action. They are usually tremendously forceful personalities, and havethe tools to accomplish whatever goals they set out for. Expert in Excel, Microsoft word, Power Point,

Frank, decisive, assume leadership readily. Quickly see illogical and inefficient procedures and policies, develop and implement comprehensive systems to solveorganizational problems. Enjoy long-term planning and goal setting. Usually well informed, well read, enjoy expanding their knowledge and passing it on to others. Forceful in presenting their ideas. natural born leaders. They livein a world of possibilities where they see all sorts challenges to besurmounted, and they want to be the ones responsible for surmounting them. They have adrive for leadership, which is well-served by their quickness to grasp complexities, their ability to absorb a large amount of impersonal information, and their quick and decisivejudgments. They are "takecharge" people. ENTJs are very career-focused, and fit into the corporate world quite naturally. They are constantly scanning their environment for potential problems which they can turn into solutions. They generally see things froma long-range perspective, and areusually successful at identifying plans to turn problems around - especially problems of a corporate nature. ENTJs are usually successful in the business world, because they are so driven to leadership. They're tireless in their efforts on the job, and driven to visualize where an organization is headed. For these reasons, they are natural corporate leaders. There is not much room for error in theworld of the ENTJ. They disliketo seemistakes repeated, and have no patiencewith inefficiency. They may become quite harsh when their patience is tried in these respects, because they are not naturally tuned in to people's feelings, and more than likely don't believethat they should tailortheir judgments in consideration for people's feelings. ENTJs, like many types, have difficulty seeing things from outside theirown perspective. Unlike othertypes, ENTJs naturally havelittlepatiencewith people who do not see things the same way as the ENTJ. The ENTJ needs to consciously work on recognizing the value of other people's opinions, as well as the value of being sensitive towards people's feelings. In theabsence of this awareness, theENTJ will bea forceful, intimidating and overbearing individual. This may be areal problem for the ENTJ, who may be deprived of important information and collaboration from others. In their personal world, it can make some ENTJs overbearing as spouses or parents. The ENTJ has a tremendous amount of personal power and presence which will work for them as a force towards achieving theirgoals. However, this personal power is also an agent ofalienation and self-aggrandizement, which theENTJ would do well to avoid. ENTJs are very forceful, decisiveindividuals. They make decisions quickly, and arequick to verbalize their opinions and decisions to the rest oftheworld. TheENTJ who has not developed their Intuition will make decisions too hastily, without understanding all of the issues and possiblesolutions. On the other hand, an ENTJ who has not developed their Thinking sidewill have difficulty applying logic to their insights, and will often make poor decisions. In that case, they may have brilliant ideas and insight into situations, but they may have little skill at determining how to act upon their understanding, or their actions may be inconsistent. An ENTJ who has developed in agenerally less than ideal way may becomedictatorial and abrasive- intrusively giving orders and direction without a sound reason for doing so, and without consideration for thepeople involved. Although ENTJs are not naturally tuned into other people's feelings, theseindividuals frequently have very strong sentimental streaks. Often these sentiments are very powerful to the ENTJ, although they will likely hide it from general knowledge, believing thefeelings to be aweakness. Becausethe world of feelings and values is not where theENTJ naturally functions, they may sometimes make valuejudgments and hold onto submerged emotions which are ill-founded and inappropriate, and will causethemproblems - sometimes rather serious problems. ENTJs love to interact with people. As Extroverts, they're energized and stimulated primarily externally. There's nothing more enjoyable and satisfying to theENTJ than having alively, challenging conversation. They especially respect people who are ableto stand up to the ENTJ, and argue persuasively fortheir point of view. Therearen't too many people who will do so, however, because theENTJ is avery forceful and dynamic presence who has a tremendous amount of self-confidenceand excellent verbal communication skills. Even the most confident individuals may experience moments ofself-doubt when debating a point with an ENTJ. ENTJs want their home to be beautiful, well-furnished, and efficiently run. They're likely to place much emphasis on their children being well-educated and structured, to desire acongenial and devoted relationship with their spouse. At home, theENTJ needs to bein charge as much as heor shedoes in their career. The ENTJ is likely best paired with someone who has a strong self-image, who is also a Thinking type. Because theENTJ is primarily focused on their careers, some ENTJs have a problem with being constantly absent from home, physically ormentally. TheENTJ has many gifts which make it possible for them to have a great deal of personal power, if they don't forget to remain balanced in their lives. They areassertive, innovative, long-rangethinkers with an excellent ability to translatetheories and possibilities into solid plans of action. They are usually tremendously forceful personalities, and havethe tools to accomplish whatever goals they set out for. Expert in Excel, Microsoft word, Power Point,
