This time I scored as an ENTJ. I normally score as and ENFJ with ENTJ being the 2nd closest compatibility, and INFJ being the third.
ENTJ in a Nutshell
ENTJs are strategic leaders, motivated to organize change. They are quick to see inefficiency and conceptualize new solutions, and enjoy developing long-range plans to accomplish their vision. They excel at logical reasoning and are usually articulate and quick-witted.
ENTJs are analytical and objective, and like bringing order to the world around them. When there are flaws in a system, the ENTJ sees them, and enjoys the process of discovering and implementing a better way. ENTJs are assertive and enjoy taking charge; they see their role as that of leader and manager, organizing people and processes to achieve their goals.
What Makes the ENTJ Tick
ENTJs are often very motivated by success in their careers and enjoy hard work. They are ambitious and interested in gaining power and influence. To the ENTJ, decision-making is a vocation. They want to be in a position to make the call and put plans into motion.
ENTJs tend to be blunt and decisive. Driven to get things done, they can sometimes be critical or brusque in the pursuit of a goal. They are typically friendly and outgoing, although they may not pick up on emotional subleties in other people. They often love working with others toward a common goal, but may not find time to attend to their feelings. They are focused on results and want to be productive, competent, and influential.
Recognizing an ENTJ
ENTJs are natural leaders, and often take charge no matter where they are. They typically have a clear vision for the future, and intuitively understand how to move people and processes towards that goal. They tend to approach every situation with the attitude of an efficiency analyst, and are not shy about pointing out what could be done better. For the ENTJ, their ideas are a foregone conclusion: itGÇÖs just a matter of time before they can move the players to get everything accomplished.
ENTJs are often gregarious, and seem to have an idea for how a person will fit into their grand scheme from the moment they are introduced. They are typically direct and may seem presumptuous or even arrogant; they size people and situations up very quickly, and have trouble being anything but honest about what they see. ENTJs are sensitive to issues of power, and seek positions and people of influence. They are characteristically ambitious, and often very engaged in their careers. More than any other type, ENTJs enjoy their work, and may even say that working is what they do for fun.
My take:
A lot of this rings true, even with the flaws portion as I sometimes do stray into the assertive/blunt/and even prideful side of myself. This is something I am conscious of. This is rather comical to me because humility is probably my favorite quality in my friends, and one I strive for.
My qualities for ambition and drive have exerted themselves numerous times while on dust. I saw how Subdreddit, PFBHz, and TP ran things, and wanted to create the laid back and quirkiness I experienced with my friends in Subdreddit, with the passion, drive, and ambition that PFBHz and TP had. Ambition while retaining humility and unassuming attitude has been the success of FA's culture. It's what i'm most proud of.
At the same time my ENFJ qualities are my most common denominator:
ENFJs are idealist organizers, driven to implement their vision of what is best for humanity. They often act as catalysts for human growth because of their ability to see potential in other people and their charisma in persuading others to their ideas. They are focused on values and vision, and are passionate about the possibilities for people.
ENFJs are typically energetic and driven, and often have a lot on their plates. They are tuned into the needs of others and acutely aware of human suffering; however, they also tend to be optimistic and forward-thinking, intuitively seeing opportunity for improvement. The ENFJ is ambitious, but their ambition is not self-serving: rather, they feel personally responsible for making the world a better place.
Contrast my ambition with my insatiable need to build others who don't push me away with their own pride and you meet the paradox of my life.
An innate desire to be in a position to influence others, but not because I crave the power itself, it's because I care deeply about others and want to be friends with everyone. This has put me in a LOT of funny/awkward situations when I find myself defending people I don't even know to my friends simply because of that desire to build and not be negative. Then again contrast that with the bold and assertive attitude I can possess sometimes and you again notice the tension.
Holy ****, and then I read this:
ENFJs are typically good communicators, talented at using words to connect with others. They are perceptive about people and enjoy talking about relationships. They often enjoy helping others solve personal problems and like to share their insights about people, their emotions, and their motivations. They are empathetic sometimes to the point of being over involved, and can become exhausted if they are surrounded by too much negative emotion.
People can surmise and debate the accuracy of being talented with words, but I am literally providing the proof of my ENFJ tendencies as I type. I care deeply about others (perhaps a little less about assholes but I'll still listen to them :P ) I loathe negative emotion and cringe when people are honestly fighting.
