Most people here don't seem to get the ENTJ type too well due to the rarity.
Basically it all begins with a fear of being seen as worthless or incapable, so to deal with that fear, ENTJs always try to present themselves in the best way possible. We're very image-driven people and, much like SJs and NFs, care a lot about how other people see us. ENTJs like to promote themselves, and often (and sometimes subconsciously) know exactly what the people want. ENTJs are driven to do the best they can so that others will appreciate our work, and ultimately, us. It can turn into a positive feedback loop that way. ENTJ works hard to achieve their goals >other people admire us >ENTJ is happy and wants to improve to be admired more > ENTJ works hard to achieve their goals And so on. That's a healthy one feeling at their best. When an unhealthy one gets stuck in a loop of negative feedback, it looks more like this: >fails to meet expectations >other people are disappointed >ENTJ is sad and stops achieving their goals >they fail to meet expectations And so on. Also, post your type and describe your how your dominant function affects you.
> be INFP > start wagecuckibg > finally have my first busy day > everyone wants me to do everything and I keep telling them I don't know, because I don't know > everyone thinks I'm retarded now > desperate to show that I'm cool and unfazed, but my spaghetti is falling apart at the seams slowly > forsee me becoming a fucking beta bitch as usual as all these normies suck up my precious life-force and energy > every time someone says hello I want to die, every time I stutter and act weird I want to quit > basically feel too much in a job where only numbers matter INFP wageslavery is truly a cancer on the mind.

How does a meek, dumb, ugly INFP get a gf? Or even friends who won't make fun of me?
Gavin Green
Low self esteem ENTJ is suffering
Xavier Reed
Apparently I am ENTP-A whatever that means.
Bentley Diaz
i dont know how you guys keep believing this shit its literally like horoscopes for autists
Justin Johnson
Exactly this. It is nothing more than a horoscope for autists that need someone to blame and on this occasion it is their personality type that they definitely aren't responsible for that is 100% out of their sphere of influence.
In a nut shell, having dominant Ne means I never shut up and can rarely stay focused, but positively I don't think I could run out of things to talk about with anyone even if I tried. Life is grand though, and I wouldn't trade it for anything else. There's so much wonder in the world and even my cynical tendencies are fun to me.
Aiden Hall
INTJ with non autism so I test as ENTJ pretty often here
Have you considered that it's just fun? I also enjoy astrology, but I also enjoy all sorts of shit. Something doesn't have to be "real" for it to be enjoyable, but even then it's not that terrible of a model. Obviously modeling personality with a complete one to one mapping is an impossible task. Your opinion is addressed a couple times over every thread. It's not new. It's not insightful. Stop pretending that your negativity is some sort of "exact", objective truth. It's OK if you're not interested in something, but you don't have to get all dogmatic and up your own ass assuming you know what's best for everyone while browsing Jow Forums. You aren't living a perfectly optimal life. Get over yourself.
Andrew Rodriguez
no you're just a fuckin autist
Jeremiah Wood
I tested as INTJ, but then again, so did everyone else on the internet. I'm intelligent and stoic and I can absolutely lose myself on topics I'm interested in, but I can recognize emotions other people have, even if I don't have them myself.
I am mildly afraid of becoming unemotional, though. I had no emotional reaction to seeing a car crash the other day, and I had no reaction to the news that my cat is dying.
Adam Evans
istp here. how the fuck do i finish a book? i just get bored halfway through and start a new one
Nicholas Gonzalez
You open the book to the first page and read the words, then you turn the page to read the words on that page, and then you keep going until you run out of pages.
Dylan Collins
Just stop having a low IQ
Sebastian Foster
Being interested in the topic helps.
Jose Roberts
Te only affects me in ways I cannot proceed to irupt something without getting into trouble.
I dont know about meeting expectations part. I am usually scared that I wont meet them so I try to avoid disappointing people altogether by not giving anything they want but thats only because they will be disappointed. Those that I know who will be that is.
I feel like my whole life is slippery slope after slippery slope. I am happier than before though
As an ISTP i cant relate at all, worrying about your own self image to the point of bending over ass backwards sounds like a waste of a life.
Dylan Richardson
I know an ENFJ. It's weird, in this pair, often the other person will casually say something that makes you go "whoa, that's so interesting," but it happens at random and usually it's something that was completely trivial to them. It's a pretty good relationship because we're almost opposites, but we both like discussing philosophical questions and bring different perspectives. There's a lot of mutual respect and encouragement. It's very challenging though, because INTPs usually are afraid of being "read" that deeply and having their emotional expressions put under scrutiny, and ENFJs will have to get used to how withdrawn and indolent the INTP is.

>you can't program feeling Spot the shitty programer Wish I was gay honestly but anime posting is my cutest outlet.
Not gay, super straight. I have a super crush on kirishima from hero academia though
Carson James
Also, a lot of the time we have the same ideas, but we explain them in completely different ways. We're highly compatible in terms of basic goals and can easily come to an understanding about what matters to the other person and why, but we reject each others' approaches to life. So both can get really insecure and afraid to confront problems if you don't reassure each other. It's not comfy like INTP/INFJ because the outward personalities are so different. Both will change and grow a lot and reevaluate themselves. I'm INTP and this is going off of my ENFJ therapist.
Justin Parker
>le being devoid of emotionz becuz i'm a Robot and that's edgy and cool
>IxTJ 51% S and 49%N 2x in a row Practically same here. I get hate for being that way, and I get called a creep and sometimes a psychopath. That's because I'm constantly gathering information for everything around me. I don't get why this is so bad. How do I stop this without falling apart?
i dated an INTP girl. she was really smart and super lazy, which made it really easy to hang out with her and just talk about whatever popped into our minds. But also ended up being a lying cunt because she didn't know how to communicate any of her feelings without breaking down into hysterics and overall just sabotaged everything we had by never being straightforward. she's probably perfect for some ENTP or INFP dude out there but not for me.
Why do you guys still rely on MBTI? Please take a decent Enneagram test, it's like ten times more accurate and descriptive since you don't get pigeonholed into a personality type when you could be 49% thinking and 51% feeling.
Austin Diaz
as an ENTJ it fucking sucks that I care so much what people think of me. I hear people say they don't give a shit and im envious because i constantly care too much
Am real user you told to make the test. From My way of thinking and perceiving the world my psychologist told me I was more likely a malicious INTJ but also that I also stick to the ISTJ way of acting. Fuck am I confused.
Because people are to lazy to draw us watching our harem anime.
Wyatt Turner
Boss yelled at me yesterday at work and I got really sulky and mad but kept it to myself then went home and cuddled with pillow to sleep with girlfriend asmr in earphones. Felt a lot better. Can any INTP relate
I'm fucking loosing it right now! I unironically want to die! I'm ENTJ but I hate all my hobbies! >I like tuner cars >hate actually working on them >like art >hate making it >like vidya >hate coding mods cause the game devs are twats and the game sucks Are all my hobbies just shit for me or am I the one who is shit?! WHAT THE FUCK WRONG WITH ME?!
>how Ni affects me It makes me damn good at my job. I've posted on here once or twice about this but I work as a psych nurse and Ni helps me empathize with patients and understand the motivations of actions that probably look nonsensical or unreasonable to some people. During our psych rotation in nursing school, the concepts of therapeutic communication were second nature to me, like this was how people were supposed to talk to people anyway. How I function and communicate suddenly stopped being pleasant-but-sometimes-strange, and became a valuable tool. There's a lot of bullshit in my job but it is very fulfilling that I can employ and sharpen my natural tendencies as useful skills.
Julian Jones
This is very true My bf is infj and hes basically a therapist for me
Carson Ward
>INTJ >Only one letter away from the perfect type for world domination Fuck this gay earth
i'm an infj and i also work from home doing back office document drafting and review ... it's methodical, ponderous work but im pretty good at it. i have crippling social anxiety and agoraphobia, an assortment of compulsions so i can't imagine working with ppl. i feel everything. i hate my life.
Evan Long
Why is INTP always the one being boring. Are we boring?
Luis Russell
>be ENTP >hate everyone but realize my hate is irrational and try to overcome it >general succeed but every once in a while that primal contempt shows up again and jeopardizes the relationships I've built
Josiah Flores
What type are you? Do you think your types mesh well as types?
That sounds rough, are everyday interactions like shopping and such doable? There's a lot of paperwork in my job and I feel I could enjoy doing just that but I couldn't really know until I've tried it for a month or so.
Landon Stewart
Hey fuck you man I'm not fragile you're fragile
Camden Adams
Im infp and I think we work very well together, he helps a lot with my emotional problems
Lincoln Williams
IKTF. Have you tried to understand where the contempt is coming from?
Brandon Roberts
How do I get a cute INFP bf like
Benjamin Campbell
I always tested INTJ / ISTJ and was diagnosed with Asperger's as a teenager. I think I am one of the most cliche INTJs in existence, basically every stereotype about them applies to me.
ISTP here I usually read books I'm interested in, that way I won't be able to put it down. The last book I read was the final Harry Potter book, so it's been over 10 years since an actual book kept my interest.
I can't seem to pick up another novel, but I am considering reading 1984.
Kevin Lewis
>be INTP >literally a genius >life not defined in terms of "happiness" and "unhappiness" but only whether i am doing the optimally correct thing in any situation and how much knowledge/creativity i have related to the problem i am trying to solve >dropped out of college and working a dead-end job despite having a ton of hobbies and intricate knowledge about my interests >couldn't care less about society but have to take what i can from it until i kill myself or can become completely independent weird feels
i'm on a mission and i believe everyone is capable of being on a "mission" that "means more" than normal life if they stop being afraid of going a little crazy. do you want to go on a mission with me, user?
Gabriel Smith
ENTP here, need some advice For the longest time I've been thinking about building a Coil Gun just because. I've drawn up the circuitry schematics and a simplified blueprint. But I haven't brought anything yet, and the cost of the whole project would be round 250 dollars. Now, the problem is that I have a very strong tendency to quit projects half way trough. Should I risk buying the stuff or leave it be?
Easton Collins
Literally the worst type of wageslavery. Enjoy your living hell.
Carson Ross
>Yep. Definitely have autism. but you're ENTJ, not INTJ
