+ENTJs have a natural tendency to marshall and direct. This may be
+expressed with the charm and finesse of a world leader or with the
+insensitivity of a cult leader. The ENTJ requires little encouragement
+to make a plan. One ENTJ put it this way... "I make these little plans
+that really don't have any importance to anyone else, and then feel
+compelled to carry them out." While "compelled" may not describe ENTJs
+as a group, nevertheless the bent to plan creatively and to make those
+plans reality is a common theme for NJ types.
+
+ENTJs are often "larger than life" in describing their projects or
+proposals. This ability may be expressed as salesmanship, story-telling
+facility or stand-up comedy. In combination with the natural propensity
+for filibuster, our hero can make it very difficult for the customer to
+decline.
+
+TRADEMARK: -- "I'm really sorry you have to die." (I realize this is an
+overstatement. However, most Fs and other gentle souls usually chuckle
+knowingly at this description.)
+
+ENTJs are decisive. They see what needs to be done, and frequently
+assign roles to their fellows. Few other types can equal their ability
+to remain resolute in conflict, sending the valiant (and often leading
+the charge) into the mouth of hell. When challenged, the ENTJ may by
+reflex become argumentative. Alternatively (s)he may unleash an icy gaze
+that serves notice: the ENTJ is not one to be trifled with.
