How Others May See Them
ENTJ s love, and are energized by stimulating interactions with people. They often challenge people's statements and behaviors,
expecting that others will defend them and that, as a result, mutual learning will take place. ENTJ s admire and seek out people
who are knowledgeable and who stand up to them, say what they think and argue persuasively.
