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.
