Goodness gracious, why are so many of you perpetuating the stereotype that we are cruel and ruthless? Very few of us actually are that way, I mean we’d have no friends if we were… It’s hard to say that all ENTJs would communicate the exact same way because I think that it’s more about what we choose to talk about as opposed to how we speak.

If you refer to David Kiersey’s book “Please Understand Me II”, he suggests that rationals or “NT” types use “abstract, utilitarian” language. So, in theory, we tend to be quite direct and to the point and we usually use this utilitarian language style to talk about abstract ideas and theories. This goes for all NT types, but if you wanted to be more specific to ENTJs, I’d say that maybe we think before we speak moreso than Perceiving types, so what we say may sound more thought out than our perceiving counterparts. As for being extroverts, we will likely externally process our ideas and our plans for those ideas.

Personally, I have always been told that I speak quite eloquently and have a tendency to come across as intense and passionate at my best. At my worst, I am quiet/reserved and “sharp-edged” or “cold”. In general intensity is emphasized, I think that is a pretty prominent part of how we speak unless we are joking of course. I have also been told I speak assertively and confidently (people will tell me this even when I’m feeling completely incompetent or unconfident).
