ENTJ? ENTP?

ENTP
Actually I myself am on the border between the ENTP and INTJ types. Similar to the way others and you seem to view it, in the work place you find yourself leaning towards the J type and with friends your more P type. I myself am very much like that. However I generally lean towards P type as I much rather try to avoid looking too 'J'ackassish to co-workers. However that doesn't mean I won't, when pushed instantly switch and demand to straighten matters up in the work place to increase efficiency. Generally though, being that I switch to INTJ rather than ENTJ I'm more focus on my own efficiency and let others burn in their stupidity, but that's just me working out of spite.

Overall I'd probably say your more likely to be ENTP, with a fair balance in your functions towards the J function. It actually is a good thing not to be too far into the P type cause you get too much P and you lose focus on just getting things done and just kind of leave a wake of half baked projects. Plus without the self motivating aspect of J types you'd never push yourself to higher positions as easily within the work place, (relying on others to eventually promote you based only on performance which is limited to what they alone see from you,) so utilize that J type for personal gain, (and to be wary of the boundaries or consequences of breaking rules,) but know how it will affect those around you with your P type and you could potentially move beyond even some of the most aggressive of ENTJ's while maintaining your good reputation with your 'followers' (as I like to call my audience).

I don't know if you've figured this out by now, but upon reading the whole thread: The OP sounds and especially writes like an ENTJ.

Im new to studying the MBTI. The discussion over ENTJ/ENTP is interesting. INTJ is a
recent test result, but my results vary. As a teenager I acted ENTP/ENTJ but now I act
somewhat INTP, or even ISFJ because I sometimes take my responibilties very serious
(I worry). I would appreciate any ideas. Ive not decided whether
you are ENTJ or ENTP, but the ENTJ's I know are definite about
everything.
