I have taken the official mbti test. I scored a entj.
The cognitive functions for entj fit me the most as do some descriptions.
But when I read online profiles some of it doesn't seem to fit me personally.
For instance it seems entj like the corporate world and follow most rules.
Me on the other hand id never want to work in the corporate world and I question rules and bend them all the time. If it doesn't make sense or I just don't like them I will bend or question them. I've been pretty rebellious in my life and still am.
-i work in retail as a lead and my manager asks me to arrange product a certain way that to me seems dumb. So I do it my way instead and the other employees agree my way makes the most sense. But sadly my manager has me do it his way but 5 days later he asks me to re do it and it's the same way I tried telling him before. It's always like that. I'll do it my way,he has me do it his way and later I'm redoing back to my version.
I question things a lot and it causes a lot of tension but I know I can be more efficient and see how things should look. I hate retail btw working with the public is excruciating and my management is incompetent a lot of the time. My manager says one thing and later isn't even following his rule but is pushing it on every one else. I've always butted heads with parents,teachers,employees for trying my way and questioning there's. I'm not saying I believe all rules are stupid, some are there for a good reason and should be followed.
-another thing I notice is entj parenting seems to come off strict. For me and my kids that's not that true. I encourage my kids to explore and learn for themselves. I want them to be independent not dependent. One of kids she's very artsy and paints all over furniture which is fine by me. I encourage her to do what makes her happy. I obviously wouldn't let them do stupid things and I do have some guidelines for them like they must finish all homework and chores before anything else. But I'm not strict with them only if really need be.
-im very goofy with my kids and wife. I like making people laugh. Im a gamer,table top gamer,i love writing and reading fantasy and horror. I waste time reading movie facts and gaming lore. I sing out loud and play air guitar for fun. With movies and tv shows I tend to relate to estp and entp characters and my wife brings up how some characters in movies remind her of me but most arent entj but she totally agrees with entj being my type from what she reads. I relate to the cognitive functions for it but the profile typing I don't fully agree.
-i am someone who likes to be in charge.
I'm assertive and don't back down.
I tend to trial and error when learning. I need to try it and solve the problem.
Is it possible to be like this and be entj still?
