ENTJs?
Basically, the ENTJ is fearless.
By fearless, ENTJs adore the opportunity to give the middle finger to chaos and come out on top.
People follow ENTJs. They can’t get over how these leaders are so confident that victory is on the horizon. Why? Because they never understand having no fear.
An example is Sir Winston Churchill, who led Great Britain out of the grips of Hitler. Another example is Steve Jobs.
ENTJs are extremely charismatic.
They tend to get ignited by challenges that nobody in their right mind would try to tackle.
Even when the ENTJ fails—and they will die trying to win—everyone on the journey respects them.
ENTJs are tough, they’re blunt, and they don’t accept “no” or “we tried that before” as an answer.
That’s why there are so few ENTJs. Top of the MBTI food chain.
