The sixteen types

ENTJ

The Commander

You organise people and resources naturally, and inefficiency grates on you. You do not shrink from a hard decision or from owning it.

Strengths

  • Decisive leadership
  • Sees both the strategy and the execution
  • Not afraid of necessary conflict
  • Pushes other people upward

Watch out for

  • Domineering and impatient
  • Overrides feeling in pursuit of a result
  • Slow to admit error
  • Overworks, and expects your pace of others

Work

Executive leadership, strategy consulting, law, politics, major project management.

Relationships

You protect and invest heavily in the people you love. But do not run the relationship like a project — your partner wants to be asked, not assigned.

Where to grow

Once a week, have a conversation purely to listen rather than to solve. You will be surprised what you have been missing.

A note on trademarks and use: MBTI® is a registered trademark of The Myers & Briggs Foundation. The test here is not the official MBTI® instrument — it is built on the four dichotomies in Carl Jung's typology, with questions we wrote ourselves. Treat the result as a prompt for your own reflection rather than a diagnostic, and do not use it to select or screen anyone at work.
