I didn't know ENTJs had such slandered reputations until I read this thread. My mother is an ENTJ (oh, happy Mother's Day!) and she's well-respected in our inner circle. True, she can be a taskmaster at times, but she's very softhearted and patient. She says that she used to be a cutthroat back in her school days, but that changed, apparently. :D (Even so, she ended up in only the top ten percent of her class. Lol) So I guess it depends on the individual. Not all ENTJs are jerks; my mother is living proof. Maybe they get softer with maturity.

Go get your own gay prostitutes!

Sorry, I am HS

The verb or the noun? ;)

hmm, been thinking of this candy stealing business. @bionic will grab the candy. I'll go for the stroller and the car seat. I can get good money for those on ebay. A double hit.

It just depends on how sensitive you are haha. I like ENTJs. Romantic interest? Probably not...

Glad you get to be so picky. LolI'm a pretty intense / high energy person IRL, so I tend to end up with ENTJs or ESTJs. They might seem like jerks, but hey. It gives me a license to not hold back. ;)As an XNTJ, I find that we can "understand" each other, even if our similar processes lead to highly conflicting ends. Arguments get noisy sometimes. lol

That actually sounds very similar to interactions with my ENTJ buddy. Although the energy is intense, our arguments are insanely lighthearted and nonsensical.. he's one of my only friends who isn't afraid to get over the top ridiculous with me (my INTJ buddy is similar as well but not so intense in his arguments). Like many other NTs though I can't see him as anything more than my brother lol.

It's fun being a jerk.

Use a video camera to capture their reactions. You can then throw in the footage as an accessory.

You got a deal, as long as I get 30% of the cut.

Let's be assholes in style and wear these:

[AbioticPrime]

Yes, I'm a total asshole. I'm such an asshole that I steal candy from babies.

This is true. I second this.

------------------------------------------

I think the type 8 saturation of ENTJs has something to do with the jerk labels.

------------------------------------------

how would you differentiate these 2 exactly?

ESTJ is good at preserving, ENTJ is good at improving.
ESTJ is good at micromanaging, ENTJ is good at macromanaging.
ESTJ will teach you how to do something perfectly, ENTJ will teach you the underlying concepts.
ESTJ sees the world for what it was yesterday, ENTJs sees the world for what it can be tomorrow.
