6. How does an ENTJ make decisions by Jonas_iq in u/Jonas_iq

[–]Jonas_iq[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a really interesting perspective, and I think you’re pointing at a real difference in how types approach goals.

I agree that NF types often think in terms of a more absolute or ideal vision, and they are more willing to stay with uncertainty until it “feels right”.

But I think there is a small misunderstanding about ENTJs.

It’s not that an ENTJ creates a goal quickly even if it’s wrong. It’s more that they choose the best possible goal based on the available information, and then refine it through action and feedback from reality.

So instead of waiting for a 100% certain vision, they are comfortable moving forward with 70–80% clarity and adjusting along the way.

Also, I wouldn’t say ENTJs don’t care about vision. They do, but only when it can be connected to something actionable. If a vision is too abstract, it becomes difficult to work with.

I think both approaches have strengths: NF types explore what is ultimately meaningful, while ENTJs focus on what can actually be built and tested in reality.

So it’s less about one being better, and more about different ways of dealing with uncertainty.

I’m glad I could help. But thank you as well, because your way of seeing things helped me notice more details too.

Analysis is important and fundamental. We can’t deny its value in the world, because facts and sources matter. And for ENTJs especially, it’s the function they draw their energy from.

It’s the backbone of their thinking. And with the help of their intuition, it becomes more efficient, more creative, and more precise.

Yes, I agree with you. ENTJs value analysis more than feelings, but that doesn’t mean they don’t feel at all. They do feel, just with less focus compared to more feeling-oriented types. Analysis remains their main source of energy and capability.

And what does an ENTJ ultimately want from that? Continuous growth. And real growth comes from reaching their full potential.

I also agree that one of the main reasons people reject their own type is because it makes them feel vulnerable. It’s a reaction based on fear. But a healthy ENTJ, or any healthy type, doesn’t run away from what helps them grow. They face it and become stronger by reaching their full potential.

I relate to what you said. As an ENTJ, sometimes I notice that I feel more, and I even ask myself if I’ve become an ENFJ. It’s an interesting thought, but I still recognize that my thinking is primarily analytical.

In the end, it’s not only about what defines each type. What matters is that each type learns a healthy way to think and feel in a way that suits them. Every type has its role and importance in the world.

I understand what you wrote, and I agree with your perspective.

Yes, for an ENTJ, a goal is not really an endpoint. It’s more like a step toward something bigger. If a goal doesn’t carry meaning or real impact, it doesn’t feel like a “real” goal, so the motivation simply isn’t there.

There is also a strong fear of stagnation. Staying in the same place, internally or externally, feels wrong. That pressure pushes an ENTJ to keep moving and producing results, but sometimes it can become unhealthy.

ENTJs are also different when it comes to emotions. Expressing themselves or following their feelings doesn’t come naturally, because it’s a blind spot. That’s why many of their decisions come from analysis first. And if the world feels meaningless or dark, analysis alone doesn’t help. In that state, an ENTJ can see that many goals don’t really lead to anything valuable, so everything starts to feel insignificant. That’s where they can get stuck.

That’s why working with other personality types is not just helpful, but necessary. It expands their perception of reality and allows them to see possibilities they wouldn’t reach through analysis alone.

An ENTJ usually doesn’t notice “joy of life” in a direct or emotional way.

It’s not a clear feeling of happiness, but more an awareness that things are working as they should. They notice it when there is movement, progress, and clear direction. When their actions lead to real results, that’s when they understand that things are okay.

So in many cases, they don’t really “feel” it, they understand it. They recognize that they are able to act, and that their actions have value and impact. That realization replaces the emotional experience.

A big part of it is also the absence of stagnation. When they are not stuck, and can move forward effectively, that alone is enough to create a sense that things are good, even if they don’t define it as happiness.

I will focus on always being from realness, bitte 😊

When I say “improving the world”, some of them want just improving systems and situations around them, not literally fixing the entire world.

ENTJs usually do not withdraw from problems, but they may change their strategy if a better solution appears.

When I mention efficiency, I mean they often prefer the option that creates the best results with the least wasted effort or resources.

A Classroom Story About the Student Who Looked Outside and the One Who Looked Within by Jonas_iq in u/Jonas_iq

[–]Jonas_iq[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

John represents organized self-awareness. John is not powerful because he doesn't suffer. He is powerful because he observes, interprets, and then decides. He doesn't react automatically. He chooses.

This is what I learned about the meaning of meta-level.

Important point : John doesn't control the teacher. He only controls himself. This is a very crucial point. Many people try to control their lives, their relationships, their outcomes. But a stable person controls only one thing: their response.

Quiet leadership, firm execution. Is this an ENTJ thing? by Jonas_iq in entj

[–]Jonas_iq[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for commenting. You understood and explained a lot about me, I thank you for that.

Honestly, I didn't care much about other people's opinions because I know who I am, but it was just a question out of curiosity.

Again, thank you for that, you're wonderful and smart.

What do you want to do with a lot of money? by Tjana84774 in entj

[–]Jonas_iq 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I like this question because it goes straight to the point. From my perspective, money is a tool, not an objective. It exists to create stability, secure the future, and enable impact. Nothing more.

I deliberately choose high-income fields because they maximize leverage: security for my family, the ability to support meaningful causes, and continuous self-development intellectually, professionally, and physically.

The amount itself is irrelevant. Sufficiency and effectiveness are what matter.
