[ENTJ] As an ENTJ, most of my closest friends are introverts ? Coincidence?

Good day to all!

After some days of research, I think that I am an ENTJ. I was either relating myself to ESTJ, but the ESTJ simply seems to past-orientated and too focused on the present, which I am not. I am only past-orientated and I only focus on the present if I have a bad day or if I am under heavy stress (which is seldom the case, but it can still happen).

My profile here: AnonymousExecutive - The Commander


| 16Personalities


Most of the people I talk a lot to and to those I told they should take the test (I actually told everyone who I am kinda good with to take the test - I really want to know how they work!) turned out to be an Introvert.

What actually shocked me: My friends to whom I talk to the most, currently 4. are ALL INTP ! All of them! I was kind of really shocked. All 4 of my closest friends being INTP's. I looked up what the best type for an ENTJ would be, and it was ISTP or INTP's. Once more, that stunned my mind.

My father is ISTJ and my mother is ISTP. They are both mainly introverted, but I am >90% extroverted....

What do you think of that? Coincidence, or is something more complex behind it?

Haha, :D How talkative would you describe ENTJ's then?

ENTJs aren't past oriented.

Yeah, they are future-orientated, like me. I only think of the past (or present) when I feel low, but usually, I think planning-ahead, of the future.

Well I'm kinda in love with an ENTJ so I'm a bit bias heh. He is quite talkative however he speaks my language so I never get bored or have any real misunderstandings. ENTP talk for the sake of hearing their own voice, ENTJs talk bc they have something interesting to say :wink::wink: The fact he's super sexy kinda helps too.:smile::hug::wubbie::hug::hug:

How do you know that he is an ENTJ? Have you told him to take the test?

Well, what you said about an ENTJ behavior, is not far away from the truth. Hope that you both will have a good time together! :)

Perhaps you're attracted to opposites? Sometimes we're attracted to those who are not like us. Hence you are extraverted but they are introverted. :3

I am also an ENTJ and I think I know maybe one extravert and I do not know a single thinker.

It's just the area I live in. I kind if hate it.

I haven't tried 4 ENTPs in one room yet, but 3 is perfectly reasonable.

You should try 4 ENFPs in a room sometime. My poor ISTP sister just sits there like ... :mellow::mellow::mellow:

Hmm...been there with INFP's.Are E's really so much worse? ( I've only known 4 total and not at the same time)

I would imagine that they at least have a better disposition.

I think in the INFP case, there will be more fandom talk. :D JK I have no idea ...

We recognize excellence when we see it. Sometimes you will feel like you are subconsciously scouting for those splendid people with peculiar and uncommon talents which makes your quest for knowledge and meaning the more galvanic.



"Introverts, come out of your cave. The greatness you were harnessing during your solitary pilgrimage is needed. "




Coordinating between them is an excitement, and when those qualified and worthy work together, you just have to slowly clap in pride for the amazing feats they can accomplish.

Fwiw, i tend to collect introverts myself. In two of my close circles of friends, im the only extravert. I kinda like it, though it does make me painfully self conscious about how much i talk - and when throwing a party, i add in extravertew acquaintences so i dont have to carry the thing all by myself :p



Tw, ive done the 4 enfps in a room-thing...its absolutely hilarious and infuriatingly loud, chaotic, giggly and inefficient convo-wise. Once you get stuck on the association merry go round, there is no escaping, to the point where it stops being fun and becomes this weird compulsion. Think the girl in the red slippers that couldnt stop dancing :ninja:
