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."

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.
