Being an ENTJ myself, I do not have ocd tendencies that I am aware of.

 

Hmmm maybe it's not type related....I actually quite like the fact my dads stockpiling tamiflu, I know where I will go in an emergency!!! He did say if I was sneezing tough luck I could wait in the garage:laughing:

 

I dout that ENTJs are prone to OCD, but I myself have it & used to have it severely. Making sure things were lined up, tapping my figertips together in a certain order, etc etc. But again, I doubt this is related to my type specifically, as I've known many people with different MBTI types who have it.

Good question though =). It's better to ask & have a nay answer than to not-ask and wonder forever.

 

That's it exactly, my friend does most of these things (cooking spices must be kept in the rack in alphabetical order). :happy:

 

ENTJs do tend to be prepared for emergencies.During the winter months I stockpile soup for when I get sick, which i usually do.

PS. I read recently that tamiflu isnt effective against the Swine flu.

 

Yeah I think you're right. Dad's also brilliant at finding a great deal 2 for 1 offers that kind of thing.

I heard that about tamiflu also, supposed to just mask the symptoms but not really have much impact.

 

I'm not sure if I am an ENTJ but all signs point towards the NTJ. With that said I would say I'm mildly OCD, especially with work related issues. I can also relate to the cleaning part. It might be due to the fact that I'm married to an eNFP and cleaning is definitely not one of her main concerns.

 

Maybe that's an NF thing lol :blushed:

OCD implies that the person has no control over it. So far, I do like to keep things organized, and I keep extras of the things I think as useful/ used often or harder to acquire.

It's more because of practicality than consuming urge to do so. : ]

Yeah I would say my ENTJ friend has the consuming urge... I can tell he doesn't want to do it but can't help himself.

Every time I leave a building and sometimes just a room or a car, I have to check my pockets for my wallet, phone and keys. I just pat them, so it's not too strange looking. This doesn't sound bad, except that I check them about 4-12 times each time I do this. Sometimes I have a pen or a camera in my pocket, and I have to pat those as well.

 

Haha, I still do this too.

Both my parents have mild OCD to some level, one's an ENTJ.

 

Well I'm an ENTJ and I do have to admit to liking to organizing and cleaning.

I can live with a cluttered space [not messy; messy means everything everywhere] for a few days, but I get irritated if I don't clean up after a certain point.

So maybe you do have a point!

 

When I was younger I would constantly count the syllables in words that had an 'r' and create this odd pattern by tapping my foot for each syllable, trying to make the syllables containing the 'r' land on my right foot. I don't do it as often now, but it annoys me since I can't concentrate on other things when it happens.

 

I have a tendency to tap the tops of cups with my index and middle finger about 3 times each time i set them on a surface. *it only applies with glass cups though*

I also pat my pockets several times before leaving anywhere, even my car, to ensure that i have everything, even when i already know that i do.
