Weaknesses Of An ENTJ Personality Type Make sure to watch each one of them
and find out how many you have! If the Myer-Briggs Personality Indicator
(MBTI) assessed you as an ENTJ personality type, then you are among the most unique
personality types in the world. ENTJ which stands for extraverted, intuitive, thinking and judging
is an individual who projects authority in a way that draws crowds together behind a common goal.
The ENTJ can be thought of as "the commander," or as "a leader,". Nevertheless, no personality
type is perfect and yes, ENTJs have a lot of good strengths, however people with this personality
type have to be aware of their weaknesses as well. Knowing those weaknesses will help you in your
self-improvement journey and increase your social skills by a significant amount. Find out what are
your greatest weaknesses and learn how you can counteract them and achieve personal growth. Here
are 10 Weaknesses Of An ENTJ Personality Type. Number 1 – They are extremely stubborn
It is commendable to have confidence in one's abilities to be efficient.
The urge to be efficient can also lead to a set of blinders that prevents you from seeing a superior
idea when it presents itself. Because they attempt to win every single dispute that comes along, many
ENTJs feel like they're on an island, isolated from others. They are always advocating their
vision and the potential advantages associated with it, even if a superior concept emerges.
Number 2 – They can be intolerant of differing opinions
When goals are set or system processes must be followed, the ENTJ personality can be dominant at
times. They are hesitant to embrace any concept that could be construed as a diversion from
the principal purpose. This personality type is extremely skeptical of ideas or conclusions that
appear to be based on emotional reactions rather than facts. The ENTJ has no qualms in expressing
their point of view on the subject. And this lack of empathy can sometimes turn people off.
Number 3 - They tend to be impatient
Because the ENTJ personality is capable of being very structured,
they can quickly perceive the larger picture. They don't spend much time deliberating because
making decisions is a straightforward experience for them. They believe that because they can do
it, others should be able to do it as well. With the commander personality type, there is little
patience, which can lead to a misperception of thought as disinterest or even worse,
stupidity. This may be the ENTJ personality type's greatest weakness in terms of leadership.

Despite the fact that the ENTJ personality lacks feeling, this does not indicate that individuals
with this personality type are emotionless. Not at all. When an ENTJ feels injured by somebody else,
they are more likely to challenge their social circle. They begin to cast suspicion on every
end or assertion. Their thoughts and actions are focused on problem solving rather than
emotional support. In many respects, this results in the ENTJ becoming
a prisoner in their own mind, imprisoned by their refusal to receive any emotional
assistance from others and they are not sharing their emotional support with others as well.
Number 5 - They tend be arrogant
The ENTJ values a quick, firm conviction based on accessible facts and related experiences the most.
They have great ambitions for themselves in these aspects and consider the process to be
time-consuming. When the ENTJ doesn't see other individuals putting in the same amount of effort,
his or her first reaction is to feel superior. It can be difficult for the ENTJ to build
relationships since they will perceive those with different characteristics as shy and afraid to
take any action. Many people regard the ENTJ as overbearing and arrogant as a result of this.
Number 6 – They can be intimidating Because they are strong-willed and resilient
individuals, ENTJs can be intimidating to others. They don't let anything stand in their way when
they see something they desire or need. While this is a strength that allows people to accomplish
whatever they seek, it can also be a disadvantage if it is overused. When it comes to getting what
they want, ENTJs have a rough time backing down, which can make others uncomfortable around them.
Their aggressive personality can be overbearing, and they may unintentionally drive people away.
Because not everyone is comfortable around the Commander's intensity,
they can come across as confrontational and threatening to others. Because most people are
very sensitive, this trait is one of the biggest weaknesses of an ENTJ personality type.
Number 7 – They are unforgiving Because they place such a high
importance on efficiency, ENTJs can be unforgiving at times. They might be tough in their corrections
when they realize something isn't done correctly. They have high standards for people around them,
but even higher standards for themselves. Because ENTJs want everything to be perfect,
they aren't as forgiving of mistakes as other personalities. They will go to any length to
improve things and guarantee that they are carried out to their naturally rigorous expectations.
When someone close to them messes up or is inefficient, the ENTJ can become quite agitated.
When they feel like people around them are being lazy or might be doing a better job, they can be
harsh with them. When working on something very important, ENTJs are more merciless, and they
often find themselves pushing past boundaries, which can make others feel uncomfortable or
even frightened around the Commanders. Number 8 – They struggle with emotions
Focusing on feelings or inner emotions can be difficult for the ENTJ at times. They are more
concerned with practical methods and making rational decisions. When someone tries to
encourage the ENTJ to open up about their inner feelings, they are likely to become nervous and
try to deflect. Even when they sincerely want to share their thoughts and connect with someone,
expressing emotions is one of the most difficult problems for the ENTJ in life.
When an ENTJ cares about someone, they will go over and beyond them, doing whatever they can to
help them. While they are generous and supportive, their relationships may be difficult at times
because they aren't adept at communicating how they feel emotionally. Even though the ENTJ
wants to connect and offer information, it takes them a long time to feel comfortable doing so.
Number 9 – They Can’t Accept Failure ENTJs have a difficult time admitting
mistakes or their own failures, which can be frustrating at times. When they make an error
or don't complete a task flawlessly, the ENTJ has a hard time dealing with it. They don't know how
to deal with the notion that they could have done better and take it personally. The ENTJ will point
the finger at themselves and look for solutions, often at their own cost. They desire to get things
right the first time, which puts a great deal of pressure on the ENTJ and those around them.
Number 10 – They can be ruthless Commanders are very intense in accomplishing
their goals, rejecting personal matters, feelings, and opinions as irrational and irrelevant, due to
their fixation with efficiency and firm confidence in the virtues of rationalism, efficiency and
positive outcome especially professionally. Many people, especially in business circles,
think of ENTJs as harsh and nasty. Because they have a dominating thinking function,
ENTJs address problems with logic and common sense. Feelings do not belong in this group
because they enjoy talking about numbers measurements and results. This ruthlessness
that they present, even unintentionally, is a great weakness of an ENTJ personality type.
