Strategist Mobilizer: ENTJ

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.

Dealing with Change
ENTJ s are logical and decisive. They love to analyze systems and devise better ways to achieve goals.

ENTJ s respond energetically to the need for change. They will quickly analyze what is going on and what needs to be done to achieve goals. They then act forcefully to implement their ideas. They readily design systems and feel comfortable once they've developed a clear plan.

ENTJ s make up 1.8% of the population
