about yourself and how you interact with the world around you.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are four categories in the Myers-Briggs test, and therefore each personality is made up of four letters that signify different things about them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the test, there are sixteen different personality types.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this article, we will be looking at two similar personality types and the main differences between them: ENTJ vs INTJ.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, what are these personality types, and why are they not as similar as we may think?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div

differences.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ENTJ stands for extroverted, intuitive, thinking, and judging. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>People with this personality type value spending time with other people and have strong leadership skills. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They are assertive and outspoken, always speaking up when they think it is necessary to.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They enjoy forward planning and are future-orientated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They know what their goals are and how to achieve them, and work hard to get to where they want to be.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"intj-definition\"><span

<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>People with the INTJ personality type are rational and logical, valuing knowledge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They know the strength of their mind and work hard to achieve what they want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They are goal-orientated and strive to be experts in their field. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They can sometimes be pretty single-minded when they have their mind set on something, ignoring things around them so they can focus fully on their goal.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They are pretty introverted and prefer to spend time alone than with people that they don&rsquo;t connect with. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, they enjoy spending time with a small group of friends if they have a similar level of intellect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"

them?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"friendships\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Friendships\"><\/span>Friendships&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A big difference when comparing the ENTJ vs INTJ personality types is how they build and maintain friendships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Those with an ENTJ personality type are naturally outgoing and love to meet new people with similar beliefs to them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They love to spend time with people who provide them with new and exciting experiences and conversations.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, ENTJs know the importance of other people when it comes to building a successful future for themselves. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They will demand a lot from their friends, and this can cause them issues. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, being friends with someone with an ENTJ personality type is ultimately extremely rewarding.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In contrast, people with an INTJ personality type don&rsquo;t care that much for having a big group of friends. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike ENTJs, they don&rsquo;t see the necessity of friendships and connections with other people. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They know that they can achieve anything they want to achieve by themselves.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, this doesn&rsquo;t mean that INTJs are particularly antisocial. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They do enjoy connecting with people who are on the same wavelength as them, and value intellectually stimulating conversation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They look for equals in a relationship but know not to depend on them too much.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"forward-planning\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Forward_Planning\"><\/span>Forward

want to go, but they approach forward planning in different ways.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Those with an INTJ personality type are perfectionists and spend a lot of time planning ahead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They will focus on all the little details of a situation and weigh everything up before making a solid plan.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whilst ENTJs are also good at planning, they tend to focus on the bigger picture of their plan and ignore the smaller details until they crop up at a later date. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This means that they can sometimes get into difficulty when unexpected issues arise. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, they are smart enough to deal with them and overcome obstacles in their path.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"hobbies-and-interests\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hobbies_and_Interests\"><\/span>Hobbies and Interests<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When comparing ENTJ vs INTJ, you'll see Both are passionate about their hobbies and interests. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, INTJs prefer to focus solely on one thing, whereas ENTJs will often like to experience a range of different things.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>INTJs are perfectionists. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When they embark on a new hobby, they will put all their effort into this one thing and will not try out anything else until they have mastered it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is not uncommon for INTJs to pick up an instrument one day and practice constantly for a year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then, when they think they are good enough at it, they will pack the instrument away and try a completely new hobby!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>INTJs will shy away from trying out new experiences, and this is because they are scared they might not enjoy it or fail. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In contrast, those with the ENTJ personality type love to try out new experiences and are the first ones to sign up for a wacky adventure!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ENTJs will have a range of hobbies that they are interested in and will give everything a go. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They don&rsquo;t mind too much if they fail at something, because they think that trying and failing is better than never trying at all.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It might be useful for INTJs to let loose a little and step out of their comfort zone.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"

data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to ENTJ vs INTJ in the workplace, both personality types have their strengths and weaknesses.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ENTJs are natural leaders and love to be in control. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They will always step up in their place of work when they are needed, enjoying guiding others. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They are social and extroverted, enjoying working alongside others with similar interests as them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In contrast, those with an INTJ personality type will not want to be the leader of the group and prefer to work alone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They have high standards when it comes to work, and can get annoyed when working with people who don&rsquo;t appear to care as much as they do.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because they are independent, they might find it annoying when they have to follow orders from a superior, especially if they don&rsquo;t agree with them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>INTJs tend to want to be left alone to be able to get on with their work.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ENTJs might also have issues with their superiors in the workplace, but for different reasons.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Those with an ENTJ personality type will assert themselves in their place of work, and make sure their voice is heard. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They will not shy away from expressing any issues that they have with management, and this can get them in trouble.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ENTJs will also not do well when they are criticized by their bosses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They are passionate and confident people and pride themselves on their hard work and skills. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When criticized, they tend to project instead of actually learning from what is being said about them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"leadership\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Leadership\"><\/span>Leadership&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As you can imagine, ENTJs make great leaders. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They will jump at the opportunity to step up and be a leader in any situation, whether it be at work or in their friendship group. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because they are charismatic, people will regularly listen to ENTJs and allow them to lead the group.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, ENTJs might be seen as bossy and controlling, and this can cause friction in their friendship and workgroups. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When they take the role of leader, they will say exactly what they want to say and will instruct people on how to do things <em>their way.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This can upset people, especially if ENTJs are leading those that are less confident than them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is important for those with an ENTJ personality type to consider how other people may feel, and to know that not everyone has the same social skills as them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>INTJs tend to avoid leadership roles as they prefer to be independent and not have anyone rely on them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, they can actually be really good leaders if the situation is right for them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because INTJs are great at planning things meticulously, they can really thrive in a leadership role, especially if they are working with those with a similar personality to them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>INTJs can be thoughtful leaders and are often respected in a leadership role. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They don&rsquo;t take advantage of their authority, rather value working towards the end goal in a methodological way that incorporates everyone&rsquo;s skills.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3

data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to romance and ENTJ vs INTJ, there are a few similarities but a few big differences! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both those with an ENTJ and INTJ personality type value <a href=\"https:\/\/subconsciousservant.com\/meaningful-connections-no-physical-contact\/\" data-lasso-id=\"14273\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">meaningful connections<\/span><\/a> with someone on their same wavelength.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the difference when comparing ENTJ vs INTJ is how they differ in the way they connect with their romantic partners. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ENTJs tend to be pretty bold in romantic relationships, and show their emotions and love easily. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When they are into someone, they won&rsquo;t hold back. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They normally will take the lead in relationships and aren&rsquo;t afraid to act boldly.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In contrast, those with an INTJ personality type are much more reserved when it comes to romantic relationships. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They don&rsquo;t really like to show their emotions, and will often hold back if they like someone.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They will always be honest in a relationship and crave those with similar levels of intellect as to them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, INTJs might fall into difficulty when it comes to being romantic with their partner.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"conflict\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conflict\"><\/span>Conflict&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>ENTJs and INTJs handle conflict quite differently. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Neither of them shy away from conflict, but INTJs will be much more reserved in tackling it than their ENTJ counterpart.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ENTJs tend to approach conflict in a confident and sometimes rushed way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They know that conflict can help them grow, and they are willing to learn from their mistakes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, they can sometimes be brash and uncaring, not truly listening to those that have an issue with them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ENTJs will sometimes shrug off conflict that they believe to be overly emotional. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This can be both a good and bad thing for this personality type. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It means that they won&rsquo;t waste time on unnecessary conflict, but it means that they might lose friends who are more emotional than them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Similarly, INTJs don&rsquo;t have time for overly emotional conflict. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, they tend to approach conflict in a more methodical and thoughtful way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They wish to learn from those that raise issues with them and enjoy deep and meaningful debates. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They will listen intently to those they have conflict with, and work out if they can learn and grow from this conflict in any way.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3

data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>When we look at ENTJ vs INTJ and their main differences, one that is pretty significant is how they adapt to new situations and circumstances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, both personality types love to stick to their plan and are future-orientated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, when the plan is thrown off, ENTJs and INTJs behave pretty differently!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Those with an ENTJ personality type are great at adapting to a change of circumstances. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If their plan is getting threatened, and they need to change things up, they will revise their strategy straight away. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ENFJs will throw themselves into their new situation, adapting to the challenge.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, those with an INTJ personality type will often find it hard to adjust to a new plan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They are hesitant at changing what they are used to, and this can become a problem when challenges occur and they need to adapt.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"dealing-with-emotions\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dealing_with_Emotions\"><\/span>Dealing with Emotions&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though INTJs are pretty reserved when it comes to their emotions, they are deeply in tune with their feelings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They are introverts and avoid expressing their emotions to other people, but are quite good at dealing with the ups and downs of life.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because of their rational mind, those with an INTJ personality type deal with their emotions in a very mature way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They are not prone to erratic outbursts, and pride themselves on staying cool, calm, and collected.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, this does mean that they will frequently be seen as distant and closed off to their friends and loved ones. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This can cause issues for INTJs!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In contrast, those with an ENTJ personality type have a much shorter emotional fuse. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They can sometimes find it hard to be in total control of emotions, and sometimes be brash and unkind to those that they are upset with.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though ENTJs will brush people off for being &lsquo;overly emotional&rsquo;, they might find it hard to keep their emotions in check. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is typically the case when people challenge the ENTJs for leadership roles.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"
