It is probably better for you to walk away. I know that it would be a far better outcome then if you would lose it.

It's pretty much this:

"You get mad, you lose."

I wouldn't go as far as to say that one loses, as winning and losing are both very subjective terms. But I do agree that once you lose objective focus, its highly difficult to come to a good resolution. I've heard the argument that once your heart hits a certain BPM, you literally lose the ability to hear correctly.



As far as my own experiences go, I rarely hit that point where I lose objectivity. I usually:

1. Understand that the other party will not listen to what I say, and thus stop caring and leave.
2. or try and think of a different approach that I have not tried before that is tailored to the opposite party's behavior and experience.

Here is an example of one way I've handled it,
Under extreme stress, fatigue or illness, the ENTJ's shadow may appear - a negative form of ISFP. Example characteristics are:

• withdrawing and wanting to be alone
• having intense emotions, that may or may not be expressed
• being very sensitive to criticism
• acting very impulsively, doing things to excess

The shadow is part of the unconscious that is often visible to others, onto whom the shadow is projected. The ENTJ may therefore readily see these faults in others without recognizing it in him/her self.

No. Never. Not me.

I don't like it when people challenge my divine right.

In all seriousness, I don't like people challenging me and tend to respond to it in an overtly negative manner.

Hmmm,

There have been very few times I have actually "Blown up" at someone. Most of the time, I am more interested in fixing the situation with logic, and avoiding such things as out bursts. When I have said something that has pissed someone one off, it is in casual conversation and I am usually surprised to find out. Rarely in the heat of an argument.

On the few times I have been angry enough to explode on someone, I am relentless. Will say or do whatever I think is necessary to get the point across. This usually happens where there is absolutely no doubt, no respect, and the understanding that I will NOT reconcile the association.

Therefore, I have never taken issue with my own behavior during these times.

I'm a perfectionist. Because of that, I am almost always very successful in many things I do. But at the same time I screw things up because I'm WAY TOO perfectionist. People tell me I'm very intimidating and condescending. I tend to hurt other people's feelings very easily. I try my best to control myself but sometimes I simply can't help it. I'm 38.5 years old and am a young entrepreneur... I think it's because I'm ENTJ but because I'm ENTJ, I have a very hard time dealing with stupid (not smart) people, bad people and dishonest people.

Well, I just took this psychological profile as part of a class for my minor, so Im new to this, but this post caught my eye.

I generally find that when I get angry, it isnt because someone has done something to me (I just crush these people apathetically), it is when someone prevents me, or slows me down, from doing something I want to inadvertently because of their incompetence. Since I dont like incompetent people, I have no problem hurting their feelings (if they werent controlled by their feelings, perhaps they wouldnt be so useless in the first place, so in a sense Im teaching them a lesson to help them), and this usually gets rid of them, solves the problem and makes me happy all at once.

from personal experience I find them to be invasive to the nth decree whilst in many instances proferring an empty husk of a shell.

All entjs, in my own experience are never shy with the wordage ;)

just stick to a tried an true method

walk outside and insult a hobo after making sure u know he doesnt have a job...then stab him

use other scenes from american psycho if u want to...especially the one where u realize u didnt kill anyone at all(omg i ruined the ending) so that way u didnt kill anyone and make me responsible

[Kimoshnikov]

when you said darker side, i thought yo uwere referring to the part where i often want to purge millions of people from the face of the earth.

That would be part of it....
