As an ENTJ, I learned at some stage that point #2 (arguing until my last breath) is usually pointless, and there’s more intellectual juice in listening/analyzing the usually ideologically driven arguments from others. I’m often sitting right at the middle, skeptical about the meaning of anything they say unless it makes logical sense. As I said, it’s usually pointless to try to drive ideas across if my argument doesn’t hit home, so I’m only opening my mouth when I know my comments are powerful enough to move the room. Being able to agree with others and communicate effectively is also a mission in my rooster.
Not so sure, Rick... Sounds like an INTJ to me. I'd try to impose my arguments and then resort to losing all hope in the other dude's ability 80% in, at which point he's already mentally dead to me and subclassed as a bug in my head. Or perhaps that's just me.
I completely agree. I think developing and overcoming your weaknesses is one of our best trades. I learned as a very young boy most people's brains won't work like mine and thats ok, they just need more explaining en time to show them your vision. Also the social part, I have invested tremendous amount of time in developing those skills and it's save to say that I somewhat overcome the problems we as ENTJ's encounter. When we put our mind to it there is almost nothing we cannot overcome.
It is definitely not true that ENTJs hate to be wrong; the argument has to be incredibly sound and ENTJs will embrace the opinion. But if the argument is only an opinion and without a heavy basis in fact, the opinion is subject to the acceptance of the ENTJ...and without a good argument it probably won't be.
@@limolnar ...and most times it's true. They think you're a 'know-it-all' and want to prove you wrong, so they go against your recommendations and fail miserably. Then they expect you to step back in and clean up the mess. I can't count how many times this has happened. It's frustrating to see.

I just wanna say, as an ENTJ, we don't hate being wrong for the most part. We want to learn. In fact a lot of the habits you point out seem to be so extreme and unhealthy that it's just wrong. Doesn't help that there is already stigma around us when people will say these kinds of things about us like they actually know us. The way you said everything makes it out like we're awful human beings, which can happen but isn't the case as often. We are argumentative, yes but you completely misunderstood the reason.
We like the debate just for debate’s sake. A real ENTJ would know that there is no such thing as ‘being always right’ Only a fool would think they can always be the right person
I agree, I came to the comment section to see if anyone else thinks the same. Honestly I don’t feel like I resemble entj but I have tried more than ten different websites and tests to see if I’m something else.

We don't hate being proven wrong. We seek truth although naturally a preference for being right is true for most if not all people. Learning and being wrong are valuable tools that we aren't as afraid of or hold as high in regard as the other MBTI types.

As an ENTJ most of the characteristics are immature ENTJs. A lot of that I can relate with to as at my younger years. Advice to young ENTJs: Don’t expect your quality of work to be other people’s standard.

"Don’t expect your quality of work to be other people’s standard". Agreed. But as an ENTJ, it still bothers me and I can't just shake it off even though I have learned to not show it too much to that person. :)
I totally agree! However, I would say it's more like predispositions toward certain behaviors! For example: The aggressive argumentation. Nowadays I will check in with someone to see if they enjoy real argumentation on a subject before I go down that path! It's truly an art and illuminating even if the other person is wrong to see their logical pathways.
Am I the only ENTJ that has a very diplomatic personality ? I'm definitely always naturally commanding the room / groups but not forcefuly : I always let people take the lead if they want to. I'm not agressive with that, rather always proving rationally why i think my actions / thoughts are the one we should follow.
No, I am kinda diplonatic too but I have developped my cunning side overtime and I am still doing it, while my upfront argumentative side has always been there.
As an ENTJ i can certainly attest to the argumentative trait.... As I've aged i have learned to have fun with it in stead of deadly serious arguing, i now argue for sport and to an extent my own pleasure. I can and have quite literally take any opposing view no matter how twisted and demented or socially unacceptable and give it a damn good push. My friends go insane because i seem to argue my point so passionately that i have them believing i actually believe what I'm saying till they realize I'm toying with them... Yes it's petty, yes some would say a waste of energy but i THRIVE on it. My friends are a bit ticked off when they realize i got them once again but we all laugh in the end.
As an ENTJ, I view debates as fun, just fun. I might just start shit and debate for the heck of it. I might say something that’s on my mind that I know will get a reaction so that I can observe people’s responses. In essence I’m just bored and need a excuse to start stuff 😂. Sadly I’m still to find somebody who energises me.
Question for my fellow ENTJs, he was right on the dot about delusional paranoia. It’s really hard for me to understand why ppl wouldn’t agree with me with actual facts and logic supporting my actions and theories. So I feel like either they’re too slow to understand what I’m explaining(and I’d dumb my explanation down to elementary level sense) or literally don’t want to agree because they have some hate towards me. I feel like it’s ruining my relationships with friends/family because in the back of my mind I find it disrespectful that ppl wouldn’t trust my opinion even though I end up being correct. It feels so much better to avoid ppl who can’t understand simple logic, but I also feel like I’m in the wrong for doing that. At the end of the day maybe I really am delusional and paranoid. But you see what I’m talking about? How can I be delusional when others are literally not applying their common sense? I’m not afraid of swallowing the truth pill, but I can’t see myself being in the wrong in this situation.
My life exactly. Eventually, you just need to swallow the need to make everyone see the logic behind our arguments, actions, or advice. Our fault is having the vision to predict the "fuck up" before it ever happens, so we're a type to be hated but thanked eventually waaay down the road, when other types finally connect the dots. At which point you'll be thanked or resented for being a "know it all". When you realize there's no way to avoid this, you'll trick your urge to transfer logic knowing it's all a waste of time based on how it all ends. ENTJs value time more than being right, so you'll eventually stop an just do you.
They jettisoned your advice and failed woefully, and then want to explain their failures to you. Now I'm stuck between gleefully telling them "I told you so" and being compassionate. I just don't get the rationale behind doing something the same way and expecting a different result.
I was told by my ISFJ partner that most people just can't visualize what I'm saying, and how I see the world and the unfolding of events. She made me an analogy of us ENTJs trying to explain colors to a daltonic. That made perfect sense to me, and so, it usually makes me just be more compassionate and leave a topic or conversation. It also makes me more efficient at spotting good and bad people to make business with.
I’m definitely an ENTJ. Yes, I enjoy argument and my favorite class was Logic which I excelled at. My father was also the same personality and was a formal debate coach. It’s not that I despise being proven wrong. That would go against my deeply held philosophical values that none of us has the whole truth. I think you’re mixing up ENTJ with narcissism. What I hold true and my ego are NOT the same thing. According to Socrates the more we know, the more we realize we don’t know and intellectual arrogance is not a positive trait. I used to think I knew everything as a teenager and young adult. I’m now in my 40s and enjoy others’ perspectives-if they have a sound argument. Conspiracy theories and things based on hunches don’t cut it. It was by objectively looking at facts that I decided to leave my religion behind (which was something that I was very emotionally attached to and thus reluctant to do). I had to admit I was wrong and go from there. Perhaps maturity plays a role in ENTJs behavior (as others have pointed out here), but I feel the explanation on this point wasn’t clarifying enough.
I’m a ENTJ and I used to be very argumentative but I’ve learned now that I’m not always going to be right, I’ve learned to hear people out ( I’m not always like this and I still have room to to grow in the area but I’ve gotten way better)
Well… as an ENTJ, my family does not understand when I say - a family has to be run like a business to work. Well, … thats not weird from MY 😅 perspective..
Actually if you study singing and rap. You can learn about rhyming patterns. And it makes it really easy to respond to someone when you normally arent sure how to. And it helps. For instance with all the thinking. If you memorize and try to learn to sing a song. And get on that speed of words. You can then transition from paused in thought to getting into flows of words much easier. I found this for me turns into. Or maybe its because of auditory processing issues. I get deep in thought alot of the time. And that really made a difference.
I was laughing through the video cos I see myself in all the habits except #4. Most people don't like change, they want to do things the same way they've been doing them for ages. On the other hand, I want to keep improving the efficiency of our processes, and there's always a more efficient way to do things, which increases productivity. Whenever I bring up an idea that could improve our efficiency, everyone agrees that it's a good plan, but no one wants to implement it because it will take a little extra effort. My colleagues' lackadaisical attitude towards work frustrates me every day until I had enough and told them, including my manager, that they were very lazy and unproductive. The meeting degenerated into a conflict, and tempers flared uncontrollably. One of my teammates even said, "Gerald, you know you're a very difficult person to work with". You bet! I'm definitely going to get a memo for misconduct soon, but well, I've said what I said.
violent too? jeeze is this inaccurate and ugly. What an immature depiction. What percentage of ENTJ are actually violent and what % of violence is displayed in types that aren't ENTJ is disproportionate. Was this even studied at all or just a slapped together theoretic from some casual content creator. A quick google search contradicts most or all of this. Quite sad to see this presented in this distasteful manner. 🥺
As an ENTJ I just want to say that we are actually rarely ever wrong. We have such a large knowledge base we have supporting facts before engaging in argument. And we hate stupidity. Lmaoo I’ve stopped arguing along time ago and just let people be wrong 🤷🏽♀️
I argue with people when they don't make any sense or they're not listening. Illogical points piss me off so much. If you're not going to make any sense just shut up.
Why are ENTJ's here complaining about this? Look at the title! "Weird Habits", meaning it's something closely related to unusual, deviant or extreme. I confirm as ENTJ, I am all of these on my most jaded points where I get pushed past my limits! On normal or great moods, I'm excellent leader.
not proven wrong, something we do hate is when someone tells us that were wrong without explaining why... something Im experincing (maybe not only me) about point 5 is that Ie do think with my mind,but the same level of paranoia from point 6 gets applied to me as I get scared of becoming dumb or losing selfesteem when exposed to dumb people who say dumb thing and then proceed to hurt me, like "what if was like them" "they dared to hurt me and I cant react", usually I avoid being myself at school... I cant really explain its like a deep voice to wants me to feel like others, reason I need to be around someone who understands me... am I the only one?
For me i am more of an expressive ENTJ but in a good way. I'm not argumentative, but whatever thoughts/ideas/solutions come to my mind in any situation, i choose to say or suggest it. But if the people do not believe in my ideas, i don't force it on them. I'm already fine the moment i give them my thoughts.
@@brrrruutramen1845 be careful that some people dont want help and will hate you if u do (mostly because they hate being proven wrong in contrary of me) for example my mom dislikes and prefers my brother just because he bootlicks instead of actually helping (long story) bruh both are diplomats XNFP lol I usually select the people I want around to avoid stupidity: u see if I have a point it is good for the person to either accept or disprove, its stupid to disagree without proof, so I avoid caring about people that are not worth the time and effort, regardless of social status (relative,boss ecc). objectivity is always
Take a shot everytime he says “weird”😂 I done the mbti a bunch of times and i kept getting ENTJ, even on separate test platforms. Solid video, I just really didn’t care for the in between parts speaking on peoples perception of ENTJ’s and how this action and that action can be deemed weird.
A lot of these are very true when I'm at the more immature/low side of my life. I do have to learn to be less aggressive and take things slow. I'm generally calm and collected, but there have been recent events in my life that completely threw me off emotionally, so I definitely loose my patience a lot and push myself even harder these days to get my stuff done. Haven't worked out for atleast 2 weeks because of the emotional mess and that's like the only thing which keeps me sane.
This really resonates to my ENTJ partner. Even I'm INTJ, not that emotional, these behaviors sometimes appears a bit too harsh, brutal, and hard to connect with. But, there're definitely a lot of good traits to my ENTJ person. :))
I got some feelings. Sometimes I have to be sociopath. But sometimes I really have to be fake. I am self aware and understanding. I have to fake sympathy. But, I am the second boss in my company, I have to be hard and strict.
We DO NOT hate being wrong. We are thankful if someone corrects something we are wrong about. It just doesn’t happen much. And it’s probably another ENTJ if it does. Maybe an INTJ because they are reliably correct and don’t have any reservations telling us we are wrong. We just don’t like people telling us we are wrong when we are not. That happens all the time. But we don’t mind explaining why we are correct. It’s those people that insist they are right when they aren’t that we do not like. Because they wasted our time and energy listening to their crap.
The 4th point is wrong. I am an Entj and i dont think my partner as an enemy. So its better you fix that up. And dont you dare to portray our bad image on people. Good for you.
These all sound like traits of an immature ENTJ. It would be more beneficial to spread information from a neutral point of view so people feel they can trust your opinion. At the moment this video sounds negatively biased.
These are good! I would add a 9th… that they think they are omniscient. I am a Heyoka INFJ. I have lived with many people as groups from all the personality types and even in different countries. The one person I simply couldn’t live with was an ENTJ. The Ns can think outside the box in way that is easier than SS. The Ss though can be brought to see the big picture more. This gal is truly one of the most amazing human beings on the face of the earth. But, in living with her she absolutely drove me CRAZY.
It’s funny ppl who can’t work me out regard me as deep, couldn’t be further from the truth. If I’m coming of as deep, chances are u are a manipulator and I’m just watching, very aware of EVERY move u make.
...except #4, we treat our lovers well but strongly encourage them to develop a growth mindset and be a better version of themselves. I've had moments when I've asked "how could a smart lady like you allow x to happen?" It's not being mean, it's us holding our lovers to a higher standard and expecting more from them.
Yeah hard for ppl to understand me but easy for me to understand ppl . But ppl doesnt want to accept that im right about them , instead make it difficult & deny by saying im too much & arrogant . All i want is just to discuss …
The second one is soooo wrong because I usually don’t argue that much because i know words doesn’t effect everyone so I only speak when is it necessary or when I have something that can simply make everyone in the room shut up. And I know even if I think more than most people it doesn’t mean I can’t be wrong sometimes. (Still I don’t like apologising to people even if I did something wrong and will never apologise until my last breath).
Overall, this video paints the picture that ENTJ's are straight up villainous. That's quite the opinion. I get the impression it was an NF that compiled this 🤣
I am not ENTJ but this video is way one sided and overly generalized . I know entjs and they are not how you describe they are sometimes blunt and rough around the edge but they are realy super caring people. They will defend to the death the people that they care about and they are very smart.
Whoever wrote this video script has nothing but a myopic and surface-level understanding of ENTJs and will be embarrassed should they actually dive deeper into personality science, not mention cognitive functions. It's truly laughable.
Are you trying to say, that this personal figure is more selfish on the planet surface? Is this why you think? Every human being on this planet has a different personal type for the other, you'll find a copy of each completely, each one different.
I can definitely come off as stand off-ish or quiet I guess but I’m just trying to understand what type of person you are Edit: I don’t argue anymore, I just walk away, which is a huge, HUGE accomplishment lol And as Far as the emotional thing goes, my thing is, if you’re going to talk about an issue over and over and over again and do nothing about it there’s nothing I can do to help you except give you examples of what might make it better because you’re obviously not doing it. I’m confused as to why you would even continue to talk about it if you don’t plan on taking any action, it makes no sense.
yeah I can be a bit argumentative but I don't think I treat my romantic partners like enemies at all at least I never have had that tendency in the past

It was by objectively looking at facts that I decided to leave my religion behind (which was something that I was very emotionally attached to and thus reluctant to do). I had to admit I was wrong and go from there. Perhaps maturity plays a role in ENTJs behavior (as others have pointed out here), but I feel the explanation on this point wasn’t clarifying enough.
As an ENTJ, I agree with all except #4. I love my girlfriend and we are perfect for eachother. She is an INTJ
Well, great to hear that! Here are some facts when it comes to dating an INTJ ---> czcams.com/video/Y6_LKWYYZy4/video.html
Lucky fellow ENTJ to grab an INTJ. Intellectual couple.
@@Devpita Very true.
My husband is an ENTJ and I'm and INFJ...he treats me very well! He has a softer side that only a few people (like me) really get to see.
@@ambergudnason4903 Thank you for sharing! ENTJs can be not that harsh especially in romantic relationships!
I’m a ENTJ and I used to be very argumentative but I’ve learned now that I’m not always going to be right, I’ve learned to hear people out ( I’m not always like this and I still have room to to grow in the area but I’ve gotten way better)
Well… as an ENTJ, my family does not understand when I say - a family has to be run like a business to work. Well, … thats not weird from MY 😅 perspective..
Thanks for sharing!
I've once thought about advising my Pastor to run the Church like a business, but i digress cos it sounds awkward even to me.
You are completly right, I still say that :)
Businesses don't prioritize well being and life like families do
Actually if you study singing and rap. You can learn about rhyming patterns. And it makes it really easy to respond to someone when you normally arent sure how to. And it helps.
For instance with all the thinking. If you memorize and try to learn to sing a song. And get on that speed of words. You can then transition from paused in thought to getting into flows of words much easier.
I found this for me turns into. Or maybe its because of auditory processing issues. I get deep in thought alot of the time. And that really made a difference.
Thanks for sharing!
It’s crazy how accurate this is…especially the last part!!
Glad to hear!
These facts are so accurate that it's scary at this point
Thanks for sharing! Check out our ENTJs playlist ---> bit.ly/3SGXpKR
And we hate time wasting. Get to point. Love timestamps. 😉
I was laughing through the video cos I see myself in all the habits except #4. Most people don't like change, they want to do things the same way they've been doing them for ages. On the other hand, I want to keep improving the efficiency of our processes, and there's always a more efficient way to do things, which increases productivity. Whenever I bring up an idea that could improve our efficiency, everyone agrees that it's a good plan, but no one wants to implement it because it will take a little extra effort.
My colleagues' lackadaisical attitude towards work frustrates me every day until I had enough and told them, including my manager, that they were very lazy and unproductive. The meeting degenerated into a conflict, and tempers flared uncontrollably. One of my teammates even said, "Gerald, you know you're a very difficult person to work with". You bet!
I'm definitely going to get a memo for misconduct soon, but well, I've said what I said.
Thank you for bringing up your perspective!
Ugh, the story of my life, that's why I never could see myself as an employee.
🤭
violent too? jeeze is this inaccurate and ugly. What an immature depiction. What percentage of ENTJ are actually violent and what % of violence is displayed in types that aren't ENTJ is disproportionate. Was this even studied at all or just a slapped together theoretic from some casual content creator. A quick google search contradicts most or all of this. Quite sad to see this presented in this distasteful manner. 🥺
Violence is extremely rare across every MBTI type.
As an ENTJ I just want to say that we are actually rarely ever wrong. We have such a large knowledge base we have supporting facts before engaging in argument. And we hate stupidity. Lmaoo I’ve stopped arguing along time ago and just let people be wrong 🤷🏽♀️
I argue with people when they don't make any sense or they're not listening. Illogical points piss me off so much. If you're not going to make any sense just shut up.
Why are ENTJ's here complaining about this? Look at the title! "Weird Habits", meaning it's something closely related to unusual, deviant or extreme. I confirm as ENTJ, I am all of these on my most jaded points where I get pushed past my limits! On normal or great moods, I'm excellent leader.
not proven wrong, something we do hate is when someone tells us that were wrong without explaining why... something Im experincing (maybe not only me) about point 5 is that Ie do think with my mind,but the same level of paranoia from point 6 gets applied to me as I get scared of becoming dumb or losing selfesteem when exposed to dumb people who say dumb thing and then proceed to hurt me, like "what if was like them" "they dared to hurt me and I cant react", usually I avoid being myself at school... I cant really explain its like a deep voice to wants me to feel like others, reason I need to be around someone who understands me... am I the only one?
For me i am more of an expressive ENTJ but in a good way. I'm not argumentative, but whatever thoughts/ideas/solutions come to my mind in any situation, i choose to say or suggest it.
But if the people do not believe in my ideas, i don't force it on them. I'm already fine the moment i give them my thoughts.
@@brrrruutramen1845 be careful that some people dont want help and will hate you if u do (mostly because they hate being proven wrong in contrary of me)
for example
my mom dislikes and prefers my brother just because he bootlicks instead of actually helping (long story) bruh
both are diplomats XNFP lol
I usually select the people I want around to avoid stupidity: u see if I have a point it is good for the person to either accept or disprove, its stupid to disagree without proof, so I avoid caring about people that are not worth the time and effort, regardless of social status (relative,boss ecc).
objectivity is always
@@brrrruutramen1845 anyway happy to meet a fellow NT ;D
Why would I choose a person I hate to spend my time with
Have you ever been in that situation?
@@PsychologyRefresh are you calling me hoeless? 😭😭😭
Take a shot everytime he says “weird”😂 I done the mbti a bunch of times and i kept getting ENTJ, even on separate test platforms. Solid video, I just really didn’t care for the in between parts speaking on peoples perception of ENTJ’s and how this action and that action can be deemed weird.
;)
A lot of these are very true when I'm at the more immature/low side of my life. I do have to learn to be less aggressive and take things slow. I'm generally calm and collected, but there have been recent events in my life that completely threw me off emotionally, so I definitely loose my patience a lot and push myself even harder these days to get my stuff done. Haven't worked out for atleast 2 weeks because of the emotional mess and that's like the only thing which keeps me sane.
This really resonates to my ENTJ partner. Even I'm INTJ, not that emotional, these behaviors sometimes appears a bit too harsh, brutal, and hard to connect with. But, there're definitely a lot of good traits to my ENTJ person. :))
i'm an ENTJ and creators of these kinds of content were the reason why I took so long to find out my type. thank u, for wasting my time.
As a daughter of an estj sometimes I must be aggressive since we are both right in our own way
I got some feelings.
Sometimes I have to be sociopath.
But sometimes I really have to be fake.
I am self aware and understanding.
I have to fake sympathy.
But, I am the second boss in my company, I have to be hard and strict.
Who else is interested in making a group for ENTJs?
On any platform
If such a thing exists already, pleass tell me
As one myself I strongly disagree with almost all of these habits, they're NOT general traits, not at all.
Very well put. 100% correct. Very well said. Wish every other MBTI types read this so they can understand ENTJs. Oh well.
Thanks! Check if we understand your dating life ---> czcams.com/video/JytP9pd4kso/video.html
We DO NOT hate being wrong. We are thankful if someone corrects something we are wrong about. It just doesn’t happen much. And it’s probably another ENTJ if it does. Maybe an INTJ because they are reliably correct and don’t have any reservations telling us we are wrong. We just don’t like people telling us we are wrong when we are not. That happens all the time. But we don’t mind explaining why we are correct. It’s those people that insist they are right when they aren’t that we do not like. Because they wasted our time and energy listening to their crap.
"Especially if they're married to someone who likes to feel" 😂😂😂
I am the owners of this character, and I'm tired now. Not easy to be myself, but it is difficult not to be.
The 4th point is wrong. I am an Entj and i dont think my partner as an enemy. So its better you fix that up. And dont you dare to portray our bad image on people.
Good for you.
We appreciate your opinion!
@@PsychologyRefresh you better do🌻
These all sound like traits of an immature ENTJ.
It would be more beneficial to spread information from a neutral point of view so people feel they can trust your opinion.
At the moment this video sounds negatively biased.
We appreciate your opinion, however we try to be as objective as we can.
Well then I'm an emotionally intelligent ENTJ. I appreciate ENFJs and find a friend in INTJs
These are good!
I would add a 9th… that they think they are omniscient.
I am a Heyoka INFJ.
I have lived with many people as groups from all the personality types and even in different countries. The one person I simply couldn’t live with was an ENTJ. The Ns can think outside the box in way that is easier than SS. The Ss though can be brought to see the big picture more. This gal is truly one of the most amazing human beings on the face of the earth. But, in living with her she absolutely drove me CRAZY.
It’s funny ppl who can’t work me out regard me as deep, couldn’t be further from the truth. If I’m coming of as deep, chances are u are a manipulator and I’m just watching, very aware of EVERY move u make.
Thanks for sharing!
Wow this is crazy precise
Thanks! Check if this video is precise as well ---> czcams.com/video/HP1VF4yKLWs/video.html
These Stock video clips are very amusing.
As an entj all this is correct
Glad to hear!
...except #4, we treat our lovers well but strongly encourage them to develop a growth mindset and be a better version of themselves. I've had moments when I've asked "how could a smart lady like you allow x to happen?" It's not being mean, it's us holding our lovers to a higher standard and expecting more from them.
@@geraldtochukwu2081 for me it's not the case since i don't have a lover
@@k1ttyst4bb3r6 That's alright too, love will find you soon.
Greeting to my ENTJ compatriots.
This is scarily accurate
:)
As ENTJ I always see myself as a monster ready to take any challenge and eat it all alive and anything slowing me will suffer great consciousness.
don't like this. Listening to this gives me the feel ENTJs are monsters. Not so nice.
They are not! Check out his playlist ---> bit.ly/3SGXpKR
Don't worry we're not
Yeah hard for ppl to understand me but easy for me to understand ppl . But ppl doesnt want to accept that im right about them , instead make it difficult & deny by saying im too much & arrogant . All i want is just to discuss …
Sometimes i argue just to piss off the other person
That's entp
I feel attacked but that’s okay I’m learning to live with my personality type and try to just adapt as best as I can to the world around me
The second one is soooo wrong because I usually don’t argue that much because i know words doesn’t effect everyone so I only speak when is it necessary or when I have something that can simply make everyone in the room shut up. And I know even if I think more than most people it doesn’t mean I can’t be wrong sometimes. (Still I don’t like apologising to people even if I did something wrong and will never apologise until my last breath).
Not really like arguing with others……..seldom do this
Good for you!
There can only be one Top ENTJ and thats me. the rest of you bottom ENTJ are welcome to become my apprentices, hop in my bag and get carried
They think a lot? That's bizzarr
#5 this is incredible true 🤣 I always say I’m my best friend I know better for me because I love me the most, if I think a lot I know what to do
Wow…this video can’t relate much. I am halfly I or E, ntj. Just feel this one is too stereotype..
Thanks for sharing!
Love your videos, please make more videos on this personality type.
We will!
Am I the only one with an over-controlled personality, Scorpio, Slytherin, anxious-avoidant attachment or just me?
As an INTP my ENTJ is in my unconscious and this is VERY TRUE especially #7 paranoid delusions…
Overall, this video paints the picture that ENTJ's are straight up villainous. That's quite the opinion.
I get the impression it was an NF that compiled this 🤣
I am not ENTJ but this video is way one sided and overly generalized . I know entjs and they are not how you describe they are sometimes blunt and rough around the edge but they are realy super caring people. They will defend to the death the people that they care about and they are very smart.
Whoever wrote this video script has nothing but a myopic and surface-level understanding of ENTJs and will be embarrassed should they actually dive deeper into personality science, not mention cognitive functions. It's truly laughable.
as an ENTJ, i dont agree at some of your points
Are you trying to say, that this personal figure is more selfish on the planet surface? Is this why you think? Every human being on this planet has a different personal type for the other, you'll find a copy of each completely, each one different.
I'm an ENTJ and number had me dying 😂
I can definitely come off as stand off-ish or quiet I guess but I’m just trying to understand what type of person you are
Edit: I don’t argue anymore, I just walk away, which is a huge, HUGE accomplishment lol
And as Far as the emotional thing goes, my thing is, if you’re going to talk about an issue over and over and over again and do nothing about it there’s nothing I can do to help you except give you examples of what might make it better because you’re obviously not doing it. I’m confused as to why you would even continue to talk about it if you don’t plan on taking any action, it makes no sense.
I'm an ENTJ and this is one of the worst assessments of an ENTJ I've ever heard. Wildly inaccurate.
Take the info on paranoia and awkward emotions with a grain of salt.
yeah I can be a bit argumentative but I don't think I treat my romantic partners like enemies at all at least I never have had that tendency in the past
i never had fun with Entjs, they seem fake to me.
What's your type if I may ask?
I felt extremely identificated with this video!
Great to hear!
As an entj, I disagree.
Now i see myself
bro just say I am a psychopath and that's it
"limited emotional range"
Soinds like a video where the producer has very little actual understanding of ENTJs.
Im entj and didnt rly relate, I was recently mistyped as estp for a year tho and I might be one lmao
Thank you for bringing up your perspective!
Clearly not an ENTJ then ;)
4:30 As an ENTP with a father ENTJ and a mother INFP that's the worse
Honestly number 4 is pretty much incorrect
Why is that?
@@PsychologyRefresh Us ENTJ are unlikely to be in relationship but if we are we treasure our loved soo much and I know all the other Entj agree otherwise everything else is accurate
@@Shimshimiyfew actions where our trust have been tested and we are becoming like that. I fully agree with 4th point
We saw what the others not 😂
Goodness, that long, inefficient intro alone shows that this video was not made by an ENTJ.
Thanks for the hate speech. 🙄
Am I ENTJ...?
私は間違っていることがあれば指摘をしてもらいたいですが、その指摘が感情論によるものであったり、代替案もなく指摘してきているだけであれば、私はすぐその人に落胤を押して見捨てます
All of these are present in intuitive thinkers tho
Are you one?
@@PsychologyRefresh yep.
I'm sincerely sorry for whatever entj hurt you in the past this is not the solution there's a lot more to entjs than the negative you portray here
Thanks for sharing!
Entj are very often high EI because they leaders.
True!
As an entj i feel attacked yet thanks for the acknowlagment ...i need to fix my isses (ꏿ﹏ꏿ;)
Okay!
Wrong
I have all that issues 👀
Okay!
wow we are kinda assholes with this descriptions...
