Welcome to Psychology Refresh! Today, we're going to go over the
7 Signs That You're An ENTJ Personality Type. Make sure to watch each one of them so you know
if every one of them applies to your personality type!
ENTJ which stands for extraverted, intuitive, thinking and judging is one of the 16 personality
types identified by a personality assessment called the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI).
The ENTJ can be thought of as "the commander," or as "a leader,"
because he or she projects authority in a way that draws crowds together behind a common goal.
ENTJs are strategic leaders, motivated to organize change. They recognize inefficiencies quickly and
come up with new solutions, also they enjoy creating long-range plans to accomplish their
vision. If you are an ENTJ, you probably enjoy taking charge and with your analytical skills and
objective life philosophy you bring order to the world around you. ENTJs make about 2 percent
of the population. If you think you are an ENTJ person, dive deeper into this special personality,
learn what are your traits and how to use them to increase your soft skills
and achieve personal growth. Here are 7 Signs That You're An ENTJ Personality Type.
Number 1 - You are a real powerhouse It has been said of ENTJs that they are
exceptionally strong individuals - often larger than life themselves. It's important for them to
remember, though, that usually their stature doesn't come just from their own actions,
but also from the actions of the team that helps them along. If Commanders can combine
an emotionally healthy focus with their many strengths, they will reap all the rewards they
can imagine, including fulfilling relationships and great victories. When you walk into any room
you can usually spot an ENTJ person right away as their personality is very strong. Commanders
couldn't achieve anything if they were bothered by self-doubt - on the contrary, they deeply trust
their abilities, make known their opinions, and believe in their capacities as leaders.
Number 2 - You are sensitive to crap ENTJs dislike the idea that someone is wrong, but
a lot of people seem to buy it. If someone doesn't spot the problem even after the Commander points
it out, it's highly likely for him to express and develop contempt for that person. ENTJs genuinely
hate the fact that these people can't see it and depending on how important the subject is to their
values, they will develop worse contempt for the people perpetrating such nonsense.
Inefficiency is seen as an elaborate sabotage consisting of irrationality and indifference
on the part of Commanders who treat it not only as a problem in itself but also as a distraction
from all their future goals. A person with the Commander personality type would never accept such
behavior. Extroverted personalities such as ENTJs are more likely to be drained by incompetence and
dumb people. Therefore, introducing them to mingling can be really difficult.
Number 3 - You are good at reading people ENTJ are usually able to sense the social
nuances and have a good grip of how people feel about certain situations.
They might not relate emotionally, but they have a good idea what is going on. Commanders often
have a better idea of what people might mean when they say certain things and have some idea
in terms of what might be said to trigger certain reactions. When ENTJs are socializing with people,
they often are doing a lot of social calculating - as though they are taking a sort of timed math
or physics test where they have to figure out the correct reaction for everything the other
person/people say or do. Although ENTJs are very good at reading people, they don't always display
empathy in the same way. Commanders often try to see through people in a more logical sense,
rather than connecting to their emotions. Taking a step back and paying really close attention
to someone's behavior is what they do well. If you are enjoying our content, please give

We would really appreciate your feedback. Number 4 - You are results oriented
ENTJs want answers, they seek conclusions and when things are left uncertain, they press on to make
things more certain. As much as they appreciate possibility, they appreciate probability more
and certainty above all. Commanders care more about what is likely going to happen,
what can influence an event to happen instead of what MAY happen. Efficiency is a very important
factor for Commanders. A lot of people associate ENTJs as powerhouses and ambitious people,
so the stereotype is that these people would be after statuses, to be leaders, chairmen,
etc. However, people with ENTJs type are usually not that very interested in those things unless
it is definitely the only way to get things done. They are ambitious and seek success in whatever
they put their mind to. They typically take their goals and responsibilities seriously, so
they generally perform well in school or in work. They also don't fear taking on leadership roles.
Number 5 - You are leader even in romantic relationships
Commander personality type is in any relationship to win, and will gladly accept
personal responsibility for relationships from the start, working directly towards a mutually
rewarding outcome. A Commander's romantic life is a serious business, and he focuses on maintaining
the relationship for the long haul. These feelings of personal responsibility are what make
Commanders so energetic in their relationships, and their creativity is demonstrated through
their constant inclination to keep things fresh, especially in an early dating stage. However,
Commander personalities also look at the big picture, and if they believe that a relationship
is going in the wrong direction, they'll cut their losses and move on. However as the personality of
the Commander becomes more mature, they can often recognize the emotional needs of their partners,
accept and address those needs, and make sure that they are satisfied, so that a relationship
can become full, satisfying, and sustainable. Number 6 - You demand a lot from your friends
Commanders seek out individuals who share their passion for deep,
meaningful discussions, and who enjoy learning and development as much as they do.
ENTJs seek for personal growth even in friendship. They demand a lot from these relationships - but
they reciprocate and give a lot from themselves too. People with the Commander personality type
have very high standards of excellence, are extremely opinionated and straight-forward,
and they won't back down if they're forced into a confrontation so it's not easy to be
ENTJs' friend. The feeling-oriented friends in particular have difficulty coping with
Commanders who often challenge them, question their conclusions, and dismiss
emotional arguments as irrelevant. However, anyone who can match Commanders' ability to brainstorm,
theorize and stand their ground will find an honest and dedicated friend in any ENTJ person.
Number 7 - You are not afraid of taking risk ENTJs are risk takers. They have a thrill-seeking
side that shows its face at random times. They often enjoy the thrill of action and they may
have a taste for extreme sports, recreation, or some risky career moves. Commanders like grasping
opportunities and making the most of them as they arise. They are not afraid to make risky
moves because they are optimists and they believe in themselves a lot. In addition,
ENTJs will study and research something very thoroughly before taking that step forward.
In the end, ENTJs take a lot of risk, being aware that the outcome is likely to be pretty good.
Armed with a powerful intellect, strategic thinking, and strong leadership skills
commanders can overcome or outmaneuver obstacles that seem unbeatable to most. On a personal level,
the ENTJ who practices tolerances, empathy and patience has everything in his or her power
to lead a rich and rewarding life. Now, we have a question for you.
