PHQ | QUESTIONS: ENTJ vs INTJ 

honestly same (but i am a 1w9), i am quite assertive and i have good social skills and i can be extremely opinionated so most people think i am an entj at first glance but i am waaaayy more focused on making the best plan or strategy (ni) than finding the most efficent or fastest solution (te). i am most likely an intj but the amount of stereotypes and mistyped people in the mbti community have made it very hard for me to type myself

I think the first problem is that you are going to "make" him watch the video. That's an argument waiting to happen.

@@MegaLight4Ever why would that be an arguement?

@@rachaelsamaramorelli140 Making versus inviting/requesting. You said in your original post that you two argue. Your disposition (i.e. "making") could be a factor.

At the end of the day, it's your own business. Your word choice simply caught my attention.

Keep in mind that some ENTJs dont use Se like other types, so they appear like an INTJs.

​@@Solarqueenthesoverign The INTJ resonates, but some descriptions werent quite right. Which included they dont typically seek leadership, yet i definetly do. Or the difference between INTJ and ENTJ is: INTJ plan more but dont implement as often and ENTJ Implement more often but dont plan as good. I have my plans which require me to lead. Thus i have taken every opportunity to lead and build my skill set up and i am implementing all the time. Yet i know i am INTJ over ENTJ and i always test as such. The 8w7 resonated a lot more. As it removed alot of the stereotype stuff. I've only known about the personality tests for about 10 weeks, ive benefited from the MBTI typing, big 5. The enneagram has helped a bit more, although i dont look into it as much, as the MBTI. I cant be bothered with the tri-type. The more deeper i look at things, the more vague or speculation is involved. The benefit from the MBTI and the enneagram is purely a boost in confidence, knowing that it is everybody else thats the problem and not me. My plans are worthwhile regardless of alot of peoples view such as "if it was that easy, everybody would be doing it". So, returning the question: does the MBTI typing and enneagrams resonate with you? Has learning these things benefitted you? and in what way?

you named yourself INTJ...yikes.

You named yourself @@MakeMe123... hahaha

This podcast was really Helpful 😁

This is actually a great supplement to the video. Impulsivity has actually been a problem for me. Something that clarified it for me as well, I forget where I heard this, was that INTJs plan ahead so much because they don't trust their ability to adapt to changing circumstances on the fly. Speaking for this ENTJ, it's actually a little bit fun when things don't work out exactly as planned and adjustments have to be made on the fly. That's where I feel like my abilities can shine. Maybe this can help other NTJs out there who may be confused about whether they're an ENTJ or INTJ.

That does help clarify it for me, thank you. I distinctly remember when I realized this as a senior in high school and it was an epiphany. In my 30s, it's still something I need to remind myself of as I can sometimes forget it.

As an ENTJ, I concur

I think the confusion starts when the ENTJ or INTJ in question is a subtype.

Best leader of a boss I have ever had was ENTJ, he was amazing at bringing out the best in people, and as an INTJ, we worked really well together because he took care of the crap I don't care for, but I was able to do the stuff that was a thorn in his ass... Just a shame the store shit the bed after management decided to move him to another store, and I lost my leader who was actually moving me up the ladder, my new boss was just a bitch and a total waste of space, the store went to shit and I just quit... But to this day he is still a great leader, and I wish the best for him, just a shame how society favors what it does, and us intellectuals tend to get brushed away, I don't mind, I see the chaos leading to nothing, meanwhile banks continue to grip humanity by the nuts...

It's possible. I'm an INTJ who has had a lot training in areas related to extroverted thinking. I don't linger in the Te like I do the Ni but if you're not watching carefully, I can come across as an ENTJ.

My mom (ENTJ) says I can't be an INTJ because I'm too extroverted.... I told her she needs to do more research, and that E/I is about your lead function and how you gain energy not how well you emote. Her knowledge of MBTI is dated and surface level, but she did get me into it so she gets props in that regard.

Oh i see, i experienced that before, and keeps thinking i'm intj. But it change my mind after i meet a real intj 😂. I think i still enjoying moment and find a joy hang out with my friends 😂

Its the impatience

A month later and I’m still going back and forth. ENTJ describes my mindset in my teens. I have taken my Ni and developed it over this past 20 years. If I were to say the first thing that comes to my mind, my words would not be so pretty. I have worked on self editing for so long, I present as a much softer ENTJ which is similar to an INTJ presenting personality.

No.generally,it's not the case.As intj's didn't have the energy to get things done than entj,they constantly think in a reserved manner.Iam an entj,have an intj dad.He is so much reserved in such a way that I am looking forward how to convince my intj dad to give me independence to choose business as my career.He is so closed minded and religious (utter closed-ness) in such a way he can't see a way to agree his daughter to pursue entrepreneurship ,for the sake of religion (as I am a female)

Iam(entj female) literally searching on quora how to make an intj open minded.

@@tajmahal6982 If your father is very religious and makes decisions based on faith, then he might be an INFJ.

@@tajmahal6982 i dont think religion has a spot in any INTJ decision
