Commander
ENTJ Personality
Commanders are bold, imaginative, and strong-willed, always finding a
way – or making one.
Introduction
WHO IS THE COMMANDER PERSONALITY TYPE?
ENTJ (Commander) is a personality type with the Extraverted, Intuitive, Thinking, and
Judging traits. They are decisive people who love momentum and accomplishment. They
gather information to construct their creative visions but rarely hesitate for long before
acting on them.
Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s

life.

People with the ENTJ personality type (Commanders) are natural-born

leaders. Embodying the gifts of charisma and confidence, ENTJs project
authority in a way that draws crowds together behind a common goal.
However, these personalities are also characterized by an often ruthless

level of rationality, using their drive, determination, and sharp mind to
achieve whatever objectives they’ve set for themselves. Their intensity
might sometimes rub people the wrong way, but ultimately, ENTJs take
pride in both their work ethic and their impressive level of self-discipline.
ENTJ personalities perceive themselves to be a strong positive

influence on others.
Striving for Greatness

If there’s anything that people with this personality type love, it’s a good
challenge, big or small, and they firmly believe that, given enough time
and resources, they can achieve any goal. This quality makes ENTJs
brilliant entrepreneurs, and their ability to think strategically and hold a
long-term focus while executing each step of their plans with
determination and precision makes them powerful business leaders.
This determination is often a self-fulfilling prophecy, as ENTJ

personalities push their goals through with sheer willpower where others
might give up and move on, and they are likely to push everyone else
right along with them, achieving spectacular results in the process.
At the negotiating table, be it in a corporate environment or buying a car,

ENTJs are dominant, unforgiving, and unyielding. This isn’t because they
are coldhearted or vicious per se – it’s more that these personalities
genuinely enjoy the challenge, the battle of wits, and the repartee that
comes from this environment. If the other side can’t keep up, that’s no
reason for them to fold on their own core tenet of ultimate victory.
The underlying thought running through an ENTJ’s mind might be

something like “I don’t care if you call me an insensitive b*****d, as
long as I remain an efficient b*****d.”
ENTJs respect those who can match them intellectually and also display
precision and quality in their actions, equal to their own. These

personalities have a particular skill in recognizing the talents of others,
and this helps in their team-building efforts (since no one, no matter
how brilliant, can do everything alone). However, they also have a
particular skill in calling out others’ failures with a chilling degree of
insensitivity, and this is where they really start to run into trouble.
A Worthy Challenge
Emotional expression isn’t the strong suit of any Analyst (NT) type, but
ENTJs’ distance from their emotions is especially public and felt directly
by a much broader swath of people. Especially in a professional
environment, these personalities may inadvertently overlook the
emotional sensitivity of individuals who they perceive as inefficient or
lazy. To people with this personality type, emotional displays are
generally displays of weakness, and it’s easy to make enemies with this
approach – ENTJs will do well to remember that they absolutely depend
on having a functioning team, not just to achieve their goals but for their
validation and feedback as well, something that they are, curiously, very
sensitive to.
ENTJ personalities are true powerhouses, and they cultivate an image of

being larger than life – and often enough they are. They need to
remember, though, that their stature comes not just from their own
actions but from the actions of the team that props them up. It’s
important for them to recognize the contributions, talents, and needs of
their support network – especially from an emotional standpoint. Even if
they have to adopt a “fake it ‘til you make it” mentality, if people with the
ENTJ personality type are able to combine an emotionally healthy focus
alongside their many strengths, they will be rewarded with deep,
satisfying relationships and all the challenging victories that they can
handle.
