ENTjs are very well suited for developing and running major systems; many corporate executives are of this type. They're inquisitors who demand immediate closure and who can have an almost zealot-like belief in themselves and what they're doing. They're very perceptive of the potential gains in most undertakings but if these don't pan out, they won't dwell on failures but rather quickly move on to other things. They're quite critical of those who are engaged in non-productive endeavours, yet will partake in whimsical adventures on a moment's notice. They can be quite fearless and bold but at times, rather impetuous and rash.
They're quite good with money and at investing their time and resources wisely but they can lose a lot when taking risks. They have natural instincts for future trends and system structure, and usually take advantage of new technologies and methods, but sometimes, can be blindsided by ignored facts and or people. They're very proactive and try to get immediate closure because they often fear missing an opportunity. They're fascinated by unusual phenomena and will go to great lengths to discover their rational basis - usually through others.
They're optimists by nature with lots of drive and can be very hard to discourage; the more they overcome, the tougher they become. Inside, they can be rather self-righteous and ignore the human cost of their pursuits. Though they love to laugh and entertain people, they can be very threatening to those who stand in their way. One should not be seduced by their pleasantness and humour until absolutely sure of their intentions because they can mislead with phrases that have multiple meanings. They love competition and argument. Most of all, they love to win but if not, their irritability and hot temper can be rather unpleasant even though personal attacks may not be their intentions.
They can live and work under adverse conditions; they're usually not picky about food, living space, or personal appearance unless these impact on their image or objectives. When courting personal or professional relationships, they can become very suave and seductive but remain slobs at heart. As disorganized as everything around them may appear, they seem to know where everything is. However, they seem attracted to people who can organize their space and relieve them of routine day-to-day matters and chores; they prefer to deal with the big picture. They won't normally hide behind their weaknesses and dislike those who do but they can develop self-destructive habits that become their undoing. It can seem rather paradoxical that people who demand so much perfection from others can be themselves so careless and frivolous by nature.
They prefer informal settings and become relaxed in well-known territories; disputes with them are best settled in casual, non-threatening atmospheres. They don't mind getting really close to people sometimes they try to get too close. Their seeming need for personal acceptance and stable, loyal relationships will cause them to often overlook bad behaviour in their friends and the relationships they have with them. However, because they can be rather insensitive and inattentive to others, they can lose the well-intentioned people and retain only the toadies. After realizing that they've ruined relationships, they sometimes overcompensate in trying to make amends which can come across as insincere even though they're truly sorry.
They can be rather bold and persistent in romantic matters, and seem to enjoy some measure of competition for their conquests. Though they crave personal acceptance and need emotional support to buoy their fighting spirit, they're able to coldly stand up for themselves or their ideas and reject all forms of emotional pressure. They will often choose achievement, principle and image over people and they're adept at directing those who share similar goals and ethos. Oddly, people who are reserved, calm and unemotional can make them feel very awkward and uneasy; they seem to like interacting with and 'feeling' the competition.
Although they can successfully oversee large organizations and accurately assess their effectiveness, they're oftentimes ineffective at regulating and controlling internal processes. They can be obstinate about their understandings of situations and demand certain solutions when they don't fully understand the problems. As superb as they are in predicting future events, they often overlook the alligators in the swamp. Failure usually bites them in the ass while their nose is pointed in the right direction. However, they're quite aware of the past and will rarely repeat a mistake.
No win situations are difficult for them; they need to feel confident of success. They will test themselves at various activities (hobbies, relationships, professions, places of work, etc.) until they find their niches where success seems assured. They're often found following unbeaten paths and trying to invent or reinvent themselves or their callings, and they wholly immerse themselves in whatever intrigues them. When their accomplishments or abilities are not appreciated or admired, their vanity may peek through as they try to crush the opposition. However, they are usually very well intentioned, would love it if life were simple, and don't really want to harm anyone.
