"ENTJs take their energy from outer world of people and external events. They prefer dealing with patterns and possibilities, and making decisions after considering the consequences of the various courses of action. Their life is organized on a logical basis. They tend to control life, organizing systems and people to meet task oriented goals. They often take the role of executive or director, using a business-like and impersonal approach. They may appear intolerant of people who do not set high standards for themselves or don't seem to be good at what they do.
ENTJs take charge quickly and deal directly with problems, especially in situations that involve confusion and inefficiency. They provide structure to the organizations to which they belong and design strategies to accomplish their personal and organizational goals. They develop broad, action-oriented plans, and supply the necessary energy and momentum to see that these plans are accomplished. They are "take charge" people who organize their own and others' external environments. They do not take "no" for an answer; instead, they use their resources to find a way to meet the challenge. They re at their best in using their analytical and strategic thinking." 3
"For ENTJs the driving force in their lives is their need to analyze and bring into logical order the outer world of events, people, and things. ENTJs are natural leaders who build conceptual models that serve as plans for strategic action. Intuition orients their thinking to the future, and gives their thinking an abstract quality. ENTJs will actively pursue and direct others in the pursuit of goals they have set, and they prefer a world that is structured and organized." 4
"ENTJs direct their energy towards the outer world of actions and spoken words. They organize and structure the world according to logical principles, tending to control life - organizing systems and people to meet task oriented goals and trying to improve the way things are done." 5
