[ENTJ] If ENTJs ruled the world....

[Salt n' pepper]

If ENTJs ruled the world it would be such a great place no one would want a rebellion. Everyone would be having too much of a good time.

Ridiculous.

I took that as a joke. Doesn't sound like something Lark would say and mean, but what do I know. He just ninja'd all over my VM.

Hi,

being a n00b here, and in the whole MBTI thing in general, I don't know too much about ENTJs and what makes them tick. In spite of this, I have a few suspicions about the type, since I believe that both my gf and one of my best friends are ENTJs. Here's my two cents.

First of all, they can both be horribly arrogant, and often in a very blunt manner. They're absolutely delighted with who they are and what they represent - ambition, intellect, initiative, organisational skills, social skills (charm), a good sense of humour, and so forth. However, they both look down on anyone who is not like them. Especially when I speak to them in private, their judgment of others is often so harsh I sometimes find it appalling. Though I often share and, up to a certain extent, appreciate their disdain for those who are considered 'stupid', I tend to be less open about it.

Second of all, they're both horribly intelligent and disciplined. And when I say horribly, I mean it. Never have I seen such a brilliant combination of intellect, initiative and organisation as in these two. They're not afraid of anything, it often seems.

Third of all, they both have a mild tendency towards substance abuse, my gf being a heavy smoker and my friend being quite a heavy drinker at times, getting pissed off by the absence of beer in his immediate vicinity. What's strange though is that when they want to quit smoking or drinking, they just do. They can simply stop for months on end out of the blue - I cannot. When I've been without a cigarette for more than 12 hours, I go insane. They do pick it up again, however, in the end. But only after they've passed their tests or something like that. Weird.

So, the ENTJ, in my opinion, is fun-loving, arrogant, smart and disciplined. The upside to them ruling the world would be that everything would be quite neatly organized - no obnoxious politicking, no slow decision-making, just making sure things work and function. The downside to them ruling the world would be that a lot of people would be left to fend for themselves, especially if someone has problems because of their own faults. There's no second chances in the ENTJ world. They're very cruel, that way.

Sorry, but your friend and girlfriend appear to be ISFP's.

 

[Nonsensical]

if ENTJs ruled the world, ENFP population would skyrocket.

Sorry, but your friend and girlfriend appear to be ISFP's.

How so?

 

[INTPness]

How so?

Was just joking. They sound like they very well could be ENTJ's, although none of the ENTJ's I've known were chain smokers.

 

[Green Machine]

Ah sorry, missed the joke there hehe. No but they're both very much chain smokers, and they like a drink occasionally to put it mildly, though at the same time they can be quite freakish about their health in terms of proper diet and exercise. And in my gf's case, she can be freakish about my health, too, which is often simply annoying.

I'm in favor of this, because it means all the virile and fertile INTPs get to be sex slaves. Finally my talents would actually be appreciated by the dominant type in society.

Does that mean that ENTJ's are already running the world or that it wouldn't make much difference if they did?

 

[Nicodemus]

It could also mean that I am unaffected by whatever the world does. But I do can imagine that the world is ruled by ENTJs.

I do think that a good chunk of the "movers and shakers" are indeed ENTJ. And in no way does that imply that the other 15 types are incapable of being movers and shakers if they wanted to be.

 

[freeeekyyy]

ENTJs do run the world.

 

[rav3n]

Money runs the world and isn't the sole territory of ENTJs, no matter how pushy we get.

 

[yenom]

Don't worry ENTJs, its all just a bluff.
I really don't have that kind of power.
My life ambition is to be a bum and eat garbage.

*runs off to eat garbage*

 

[highlander]

ENTJs do run the world.

Along with the other TJs.
