Lifetyle of an ENTJ

After reading the description below, I guess I was an ENTJ all my life ... my life has always been a competition, a race to be the best, to aspire for the best and never settling for 2nd place. That's the reason why that the moment I reached the peak of something, it's not a moment too soon before I start searching for something bigger, larger and ultimately, worthwhile & challenging.

Life is a trophy ... (but my friends differ & suggest I get more balance & lower my requirements, especially for a partner and also career) ... anyway, check out the analysis below ...

ENTJ children need to have goals for everything. These goals may be related to achievements such as swimming the fifty-yard freestyle on second faster than they did the previous year, getting a straight-A report card, or winning the school math contest. They seek power and control. They want to have an impact. Because of their desire to take charge, they are often leaders.

ENTJs enjoy an active and diverse lifestyle. They are likely to be in extracurricular activities and often function as the team captain, the president, or the leader. They pursue leadership roles very directly and have difficulty following others unless those individuals demonstrate more competence than they themselves have. Even then, it may be tough for the ENTJ to follow long.

ENTJs are likely to commit to a career goal early, often in their teen years. They determine their overall goals and objectives and what it will take to accomplish them. Whatever ENFJs do must make sense to them according to their logic or they have difficulty doing it.

In mature adulthood, ENTJs are often in leadership positions in their work organizations. They go after what they want with fusto. They set their sights high and work hard. Work and its related activities may become their lives. They may find retirement unsettling, boring, and difficult because it may bring with it a loss of the power that they had during their working years. Often they make arrangements so that they do not have to retire.
