Shouldn't have to ask

I would ask some other questions that could help you decide:

ENTJs often prefer a life of business, scheduled out hour by hour. ENTJs are pros at organizing people and getting them to support their causes.

INTJs on the other hand, don’t always want their life to be scheduled strictly, and INTJs are well known as school-haters for this very reason. They are efficient in completing tasks, but often, those tasks are done without other people, and thus, don’t require a schedule. They do not enjoy leadership roles unless necessary. They are more introspective and in tune with their emotions than ENTJs.

Which do you picture yourself as?

i prefer a scheduled life mainly becasue it makes things much easier specially at work.i also tend to be a bit bossy and people often tell me that i get on their nerves casue im too serious and rigid...while i can be very controlling i do most of my things alone cause i dont really need the help of other people in doing my stuff.

i hated school though becasue most things they teach you there is time wasting and they dont have any use in real life(specially in my country becasue they teach too much religious stuff)

but i crave leadership roles and i really like to be in charge...its the goal of my life

It sounds a lot like you have been taken in by many frustrating stereotypes about extroverts:

-That we are loud
-That we get along with/love everyone
-That we are very open
-That we talk to much

None of these have anything to do with being an Extrovert and have more to do with the individual. Frankly, I have NO idea where you got the idea the impression that ENTJ correlates to being more emotional than INTJ. We're pretty much the same on that front.

As I often explain to others " I do not LIKE people. I am just bored without them." I detest small talk and have even abandoned friendships over their habit of speaking for hours and saying nothing.
