ENTJ's, do you think that you would make a good homicide detective? Like on the show "The First 48"? I can't think of any other type that would be better suited for this job than ENTJ. INTJ's could do it, but there is a lot of interfacing with people. NTP's could do it, but you must be results driven - to the point of staying up for 3 nights straight until you find the answers - you must constantly push forward and seek out answers until the problem is solved. If the NTP was prone to losing interest or getting bored with a task, this definitely wouldn't be the right career. You absolutely cannot get bored. You must plug through all day and all night until the case is solved.

I could see ESTJ's doing the job, but I would think Ni would serve one much better than Si in this career. As a street cop, I think ESTJ's might be better suited. As a homicide detective, I would think ENTJ. Do you see yourself lacking any certain skills for this career or do you think you would be really good at it?

I actually have considered going into law enforcement long ago. I feel confident saying that I would have been well suited for the job and the foregoing description does describe it pretty accurately. I would get a "thrill" of of such job, it would provide all the stimulation I need.

But after looking at the pay-scale, I ended up in business and corporate finance.

Yes, this is what I've been thinking on many occasions. I think this job would be thrilling with just enough mental stimulation to keep an ENTJ satisfied.

I can be anything I want to be.

Also this. For any type.

I actually had a dream last year where I was a detective. I've also fantasized about being a crime lord. I would like to think ENTJs are well suited for both.
