'I didn't find one that I wanted to vote for, and I couldn't find a combination of three that fit what my ideals reflect. I advocate classical liberalism, in that I think that the ultimate freedom is...
Do: Tell the Truth Don't: Lie or deceive That about sums it up. If I find our you're lying to me, you're as good as dead.
He claimed you, unless you object. If you object, he's cool with that, just let him know sooner than later. Also, he is giving you full disclosure into what he is like. He has issues...
I would say a lot depends on the individual being managed. Here's why. As an ENTJ who has been in a leadership position for a while, I can say that I am quite good at leading those who can stomach...
I usually have a bit of anxiety about starting something new, I guess because each new job is a movement up on the ladder. I don't make strictly horizontal moves, so if I am starting something new,...
Agree with the above. I tend to focus on three large goals as well.
What I find is that I need to prioritize and set an ultimate goal and work backward. Then I keep refining the list and get rid of the things that ultimately aren't helpful in that end-goal. If that...
I know this is a strange line of thinking. My INTJ wife is absolutely addicted to books. By the time my oldest son was 18 months old, she has bought over 1300 books for him. We have books coming...
Serious question, how many books do you own?
Agree with the above, it's all part of the stereotype. Usually I give someone ample opportunity to be honest with me and when that's violated multiple times, then they're off the reservation. Until...
If he's an ENTJ, I say yes, tell him what you expect. Tell him that you want a do-over and you're very interested in him. If he balks, walk.
I grew up government cheese and rice poor. Had to fix everything, couldn't afford to buy anything new, had to go to a government (public) school. That shaped my thinking and my career focus more...
Things that I say repetitively... He/She is so thorough I want to swallow my own tongue. Can we get back on topic, please? Do you remember the question I just asked you? <= when someone gives a...
There, I fixed it for you. Suits aren't trickier, you just need to know what's good & what's bad. I can almost always spot a cheap suit from across the room. If you can't afford an expensive...
Reminds me of one of my favorite quotes. If you can't beat them, join them, then beat them. As I think about this question more, OP, can you please define corruption? It strikes me that part of...
I didn't vote. My answer: Corruption is the result of people being evil, and everyone's evil. Not everyone is corrupt.
I just went through this with my INTJ son, trying to explain to him not to live the life that I lived, as I see him headed in that direction. I'll try to be short and to the point, but high school...
I may be different. I am pretty decisive, and if I have decided to pursue a relationship, we're in it for the long term, and I really don't need much space. The only time I would need a lot of...
I am very good friends with booth an ENTP and an INTP. The ENTP is a log of fun, and is one of those life of the party kind of people. The INTP is probably the most thorough person I've ever met....
If you absolutely, positively must get revenge, then do so. I offer a different opinion. I just think that you learned a valuable corporate lesson for a measly $6k. It seems like a lot at...
To answer the question you asked, I have ALWAYS cared what I have done. That doesn't mean that I have enjoyed it. I have always thought of myself as make the best out of all situations kind of...
Interesting, some of the biggest misunderstandings I've ever had have been with an INTJ friend of mine. We got close to the 'gonna have to call off the friendship phase' three times. I've never...
This is the most asked question in the forum, aside from 'an entj is mean to me, how do I deal with him/her.'. Homework: search the forum and post a summary of what you find. I'll validate and...
In my case, they would all be part of one plan. I would implement plan A and plan b&c are contingency planning if something I can't control heads in a direction I can't prevent.
I don't know that there is one specific style, at least not for me. I guess we could probably eliminate 'sloppy' because I can't see an ENTJ attracted to a slob, but that's only a guess.
I laughed at this. I seem to have a disproportionate number of INTJ friends and acquaintances, so I collect them, I guess. My very best friend is an INTJ, my boss is one, and my wife is one.
What do I think? I think it sucks. I used to sell software to Gallup and they were drunk on their own kool-aid It was really hard to get anything done because it wasn't my strength quest. This...
The most consistent thing that I have been called is Logical This can be a criticism or a compliment, depending on the scenario. Compliment: Getting a deal done, making a hard decision,...
I like how this thread went from how can I charm and impress an ENTJ to How do I know an ENTJ is really 'into' me? For the original question, I like to see results. My wife got my attention...
I have kind of three tiers of sharing personal information: 1. Personal information I use for icebreakers - I am a director of sales for a large software company, it helps customers and employees...
Sorry I've been away from the forum, but to start off the new year, I thought I'd give a couple little gifts to the ENTJs who hang out here. Some good articles I've read lately. First: What...
A friend of mine says that he's donating his body to science so that the drs better understand the consequences of a life of depravity.
I thought about this more and I don't know that my views on a funeral have changed a whole lot since becoming a Christian. I have largely seen myself as worm food.
Debates => Yes Lavish Funeral => If someone asked, I'd do it. I got to write my grandmother's eulogy for her while she was still alive and could proofread it. It was a pretty cool way to...
I think you've been given pretty good advice so far, so if this is redundant, forgive me. There are people (male and female) who I don't want to develop a deeper relationship with. I use the...
That would actually make a lot of sense.
You missed my point. You seem like a perfect Democrat to me. You have a heart for the impoverished, and you don't like those evil capitalists, but you have no problem advising suicide if someone...
You walk around and have 3 ideas for a new business/better way to do something before you've had your first cup of coffee. Then you refine those ideas while waiting for the coffee to work its...
I'm okay with others touching it, but they better put it back exactly where they found it. Everything is in a specific location for a specific reason. Like you say, whether it looks disorganized or...
My sister is too. She literally has an 8 year degree in pottery and went to college to be a starving street artist, honestly. I can't say she didn't have goals, she just didn't have motivation. ...
I suspect my INTJ wife is very close on the P/J, based on observation. I start sweating if we're going to on time, let alone a minute late (gasp). She's frequently fashionably late.
Not quoting the whole thing to save some bits, but great story. Not to offend you as a vegan, but I often don an apron, but that's usually with a chunk of meat in one hand and a handful of...
Would you be attracted to someone who was competent in running a household?
I find sweet irony in the person posting 5,6,7,8 above and telling someone to stab themselves in her signature tag.
I lost my reply due to a posting error. I'll try to recreate. My wife wasn't the full time mom when we got married either. She is quite a bit smarter than I am, and she was a partner in an...
Trying to stitch together the questions: Ever been so pissed that you stopped doing part of your job? => Yes. Lasted about a month until I kicked my butt back into gear You didn't ask, but......
My wife is the mother of three very active kids. In addition, she volunteers weekdays at the local Christian School putting some of her God-given talents to work while the kids are in class. I...
I don't want to derail the cheating thread more than it already is. There was a post made that I wanted to comment on, but it wasn't relevant to the thread, so I'm starting a new thread. I think...
The first boss I had out of college (probably an INTJ) gave me a task about a month on the job to check something out. So I did, and I made a list of things that needed to be corrected. When I...
I watched the movie Jarhead last night. The character that Jamie Foxx plays id an ENTJ. He does an excellent job of it. Watch him when he's pushed. There is a scene where they have to take a...'
