ENTJ Behaviours - Everyday things the Internet analysis don't tell you about - weirdly specific edition

Loud loud laugh. The type of laugh to make you go under the table. Happens roughly 2-3 times a day.

Shouting for no apparent reason.

Zoomies, yes, zoomies around the house.

Zoomies in talking - The point is to get it out fast and furious and go on with the day. Spoiler alert: 80% of the time I have to repeat myself, because people didn't understand my point delivered in Eminem speed. I'm fine, we're fine, it's fine.

Constantly forgetting people don't have the ability to understand with just one, maximum three words. Exception: INTX

Hating to be late and arriving early. Completing several tasks while waiting.

Having absolutely no tolerance on people who are late. Holding a grudge about it. Waiting for the day to just leave so the other person learns from it.

Abrupt style changes that shock people - going from casual business to grunge fairycore, not realising that people get confused with the vibe.

ENTJ procrastination is a thing - it's just procrastinating by doing other smaller tasks instead of doing the big looming one.

Being confident all the time except in a specific moment in which it's required to.

Ordering food at McDonald's because your extroverted friends were "too shy" to.

Waiting for those same friends to say "hi" to the entire planet while you try to look confident, pretty and approachable.

Being invited in the conversation in the span of one minute and hitting it off for the next 10 minutes.

Walking fast.

The boulevard is the runway and y'all are just peasants interrupting the strut.

Making detailed plans about being a successful company owner in 10 years, but forgetting to take in the sheets the next day. Short-term goals - a strong point, if forced. Day to day to-do list - not a strong point at all, unless written down (most of the time confident enough to remember our own tasks) (most of the time we forget to do several of them, or postpone them to shove three more that we planned to do after two weeks, but oh well, an opportunity arose - extremely specific, might not apply)

Patience. Monstruos amounts of it. Miranda Priestly was just fed up after so many years in the industry and I can see why.

Pet peeves are inefficiency and people who repeat the same mistake over three times, after it was explained to them by multiple people.

Strong opinions. Controversy. How are y'all dealing with Cruella (Emma Stone) and Elizabeth Bennett (Pride and Prejudice) mix, type of person? Genuinely curious. Not asking for a friend.

As for the ENTJ men reading this - do you have like a list or diagram, with all the people that manage to keep up with your Stewie Griffin (South Park) , Kaz Brekker (Six of Crows) tendency to "invest" and Thranduil(The Hobbit/LOTR) type of beauty and pride, and how long is it? Again, genuinely curious.

Wrote the origins of criticism and invented self-criticism in the process, because emotional liability got invented roughly around the same time and apparently it was "too much" *side glances INFPs*

Crying only out of helplessness (not if you can help it, ofc) and anger.

Fan of stupid puns (extremely evident)

Might unintentionally ghost people or leave them on seen, because they messaged you while your brains were working overtime (happens too often)

Caffeine doesn't work, but it's a ritual of pleasure, not to be missed, unless the day is bound to finish in prison. Same could be said if you take tea instead of coffee.

Relaxing by watching documentaries about successful people.

De-stressing by drinking wine with that one close friend that you see once a month due to busy schedules and talking about life.

That close friend also happens to be the closest one to IxxJ type and thoroughly listens while we explain the nature of emotions and why we think that the normal emotion we felt is a terminal illness.

Flirting is a way of surviving not a way of life. Take it as you wish.

Inspecting and dissecting your crushes so you know what you're dealing with. Most of the time we "un-crush" them with a snap of our fingers.

Sometimes we "just go with it" and end in a semi-casual situationship.

When they tell you we are confident and undisturbed by flirting, they're probably lying or not competent enough about speaking on real (not psychology explained) life. We do. It's just not obvious. INTJs, INTPs and ENFJs might not agree, because they somehow just know.

Getting hurt over minimal details people mentions about us throughout a conversation but being unaffected by "the big ones".

Which is hilarious because we're major "big picture" people - details are the things we see last. Sometimes, we don't even bother to inspect them.

ENTJ: Ah, ah, okay, bye-

Other people: No, wait! There's-

ENTJ: I pretty much got it, bye-

P.S. "Pretty much go it." or "I'm gonna wing it.", but make it organised, are probably catch phrases by now. No matter what people tell you that's a major trait of XXXJ people.

When I told you we invented criticism, I forgot to mention we also helped ESTJ and INTJ invent sarcasm.

MBTI Observations 2: Observe Harder

○ xxTPs often make great teachers because their high Ti lends itself useful to explaining something in logical ways, and their lower Fe (if developed enough) can be used to figure out what their student doesn't understand, and how they might need the information rephrased so that it is easier to understand.

● ExxJs are REALLY good at predicting the endings of movies or shows - probably something to do with their dominant function being an objective judging function (Fe or Te), making it easy to spot the purpose of a story, and the easiest way to convey the message through the climax & resolution.

□ INxJs often get (reasonable) flack for not having very good kinesthetic abilities, but they often have approximately one (1) sensory ability that comes super naturally because the sheer willpower of dom Ni overrides the flaws of inferior Se. A common example I see is always knowing where the car is parked, even if they don't consciously remember or know where it is. They borderline let their eyes roll into the back of their head and their dom Ni leads them to the car's exact location in a fashion that is technically unexplainable.

■ Every INFP is "just a girl" (even if they aren't. they are.)

♤ ISxPs listen to conversations around them and passively choose not to speak because they are simply not compelled to do so. ISxJs listen to conversations around them and actively choose not to speak because they've heard enough to decide it's not worth it.

HOW TO MEMORIZE MBTI COGNITIVE FUNCTIONS/STACKS

okay, so we're all familiar with the intj, esfj, entp and all those stuff! 16personalities would say that those people are merely "introverted, intuitive, thinking, and judging" and same goes to other mbti types, but when you fall deeper into this mbti thing, you realize that there are cognitive functions!! and now you're crossed with introverted intuition (Ni), extroverted sensing (Se) and all those stuff; sure you're familiar with them now, but you're still stumped on how you'll be able to memorize it!

people often say them memorizing it just "clicks" with them someday. but what if i tell you there's an easier way to memorize it?

i'll now share you an explanation that is easy for me to understand; i hope that it'll be as easy for you as well and you can use this to your advantage!! i'll try to make it succinct as possible with additional visuals for easier understanding! (i'll exclude the explanation of what the E/I, N/S, T/F, and J/P are, since am sure most of y'all are familiar what they stand for)

---explanation below---

xxxO (J/P)

• dictates whether xxOx is an extrovert or introvert function • J = dictates xxOx is an extrovert function (Oe) • P = dictates xxOx is an introvert function (Oi)

Oxxx (E/I) [Dominant and Auxiliary Function]

• dictates whether which of the two functions (xOOx) are the dominant function and auxiliary function

The Tertiary and Inferior

• follows an alternating stack by reffering to the first 2 cognitive stack • Oi Oe Oi Oe - or - Oe Oi Oe Oi • inferior function is the opposite of dominant function: N-S, F-T; and extrovert-introvert • tertiary function is opposite of auxiliary function: N-S, F-T; and extrovert-introvert

ISTP:

I hope those make sense XDD

But!!! I'll provide some visuals to better understand it. Let's use ISTP, ESTP, ESTJ, and INFJ as our examples! (beginning of demonstration always starts with a "XXXX") [there's also an image description provided :>>]

ESTP:

ESTJ:

INFJ:

I hope this helps!!! You can ask me further about stuff related to this post if youre still confused, i'll try answering as best to my knowledge! (i'm still learning thou coz LDKSFDHSLGF)

NJs and spatial awareness

INFJ: By the way, did you even notice me almost running you over with my bike yesterday?

ENTJ: What? I didn't even ride my bike yesterday.

INFJ: No, but I did.

ENTJ: Wait, you almost ran me over? Oh, okay, I thought you meant I almost ran you over and didn't even notice. But ... where? When? What? Where did you see me?

INFJ: Yesterday! Like five minutes after we said goodbye. You were walking towards the road while I was approaching from behind on my bike and I remember wanting to say goodbye to you again, but then you suddenly stopped in the middle of the path when I was right behind you, so I had to go around you, which was when you thought it was a good idea to take a step to the right, almost right into my front wheel, while you looked the other way, so I was a bit too preoccupied with not running you over to say anything.

ENTJ: No. No, that can't be right. I was on my way to the bus stop, then realised I didn't want to take the bus and then walked the other way.

INFJ: Yes. That's exactly the moment I'm talking about.

ENTJ: Are you sure it was me?

INFJ: Unlike you, I've got eyes.

Alhaitham - ENTJ

I will be going into detail on why I think ENTJ is more appropriate than INTJ for Alhaitham.

⋆⭒˚.⋆ ⋆˙⟡ ⋆⭒˚.⋆ ✮⋆ ˙⋆⭒˚.⋆ ⋆˙⟡ ⋆⭒˚.⋆ ✮⋆

⋆⭒˚.⋆  ⋆˙⟡ ⋆⭒˚.⋆ ✮⋆ ˙⋆⭒˚.⋆  ⋆˙⟡ ⋆⭒˚.⋆ ✮⋆

Alhaitham is a character whose focus is on living a fulfilling, simple, life. He doesn’t care about external status, and even benefits from his label as an unsociable lunatic. He is unambitious, and is quite content to hand off his prestigious title of Grand Sage as fast as he can. His trailer’s message can be summarized to “think more and act less, everything is connected”. These are the common talking points in favour of him being an INTJ. Let’s go over these – I won’t be addressing social cognition as it’s not included in this system. 

⋆⭒˚.⋆  ⋆˙⟡ ⋆⭒˚.⋆ ✮⋆ ˙⋆⭒˚.⋆  ⋆˙⟡ ⋆⭒˚.⋆ ✮⋆

⟡ Te is goal oriented, maximizing efficiency. Alhaitham has no interest in advancing in his job, but focuses all of his time and energy into his own personal interests. He is an extremely objective character, and this is even brought up by other playable characters – that he is “too logical” and difficult to associate with. 

“However, the ENTJ’s Achilles heel, like that of the ESTJ, is their repressed Fi. If we imagine Te as a bulldozer and Fi as a protestor, then the ENTJ’s bulldozer runs the protestors over without mercy. This can be a serious problem for the ENTJ for two reasons. First, like the ESTJ, the ENTJ can have difficulty appreciating or taking into account the emotional values of others in their goals. This attributes to the ENTJ’s brutality in combat, because they are repressing the function that normally values inner sentimentality. This can even, if unchecked, become sadistic, in the sense that the ENTJ can have trouble telling if they are becoming too aggressive and are actually hurting people.”  – Pierce on ENTJs

⟡ Alhaitham is actually quite objective and good natured when speaking about most of the Sumeru cast (save for Kaveh to an extent). He makes no personal judgements or snide remarks about people he doesn’t agree with (Dori) despite people seeing him as rude, he only expresses a personal opinion on his closest friend (Kaveh), and even then, it was his objective comment that Kaveh’s flaw of helping too much being unsustainable was what led to their falling out in their Akademiya years. 

*Even his comment on Kaveh aligns with inferior Fi pointing out the strong emotional display.

⟡ Tertiary Fi will still make itself known – Alhaitham doesn’t display a deep, emotionally charged personal philosophy—instead, he analyzes situations purely through logic and takes actions that optimize outcomes, not ones that align with strong personal beliefs. His stance against the sages was not brought about by ethics, but that the aftermath would inevitably make his life much more difficult. The closest we get is his distaste for the lazy sages, and how people will become slaves to orders and unable to question things for themselves if their plan with the Akasha is successful.

⟡ Alhaitham when rejecting Siraj’s premise about the hivemind did not focus on the ethics, ie: “it’s morally reprehensible to subjugate individuals to a hivemind” but the realistic impracticality of it; your premise of the hivemind is fundamentally flawed and bound to fall apart.   

If he had tertiary Fi, we might expect more moments of moral contemplation or personal beliefs, yet he rarely shows any focus or introspection about his morality.

⋆⭒˚.⋆  ⋆˙⟡ ⋆⭒˚.⋆ ✮⋆ ˙⋆⭒˚.⋆  ⋆˙⟡ ⋆⭒˚.⋆ ✮⋆

⋆⭒˚.⋆  ⋆˙⟡ ⋆⭒˚.⋆ ✮⋆ ˙⋆⭒˚.⋆  ⋆˙⟡ ⋆⭒˚.⋆ ✮⋆

Alhaitham’s Ni is undeniable, but why is it not his dominant function?

⋆⭒˚.⋆  ⋆˙⟡ ⋆⭒˚.⋆ ✮⋆ ˙⋆⭒˚.⋆  ⋆˙⟡ ⋆⭒˚.⋆ ✮⋆

Let’s look at some more examples of clear Te to keep in mind. 

⋆⭒˚.⋆  ⋆˙⟡ ⋆⭒˚.⋆ ✮⋆ ˙⋆⭒˚.⋆  ⋆˙⟡ ⋆⭒˚.⋆ ✮⋆

Alhaitham’s dialogue is largely Te oriented, especially his vision; if we contrast his dialogue with the other cast, it aligns much more closely with other Te users. Let’s look at some Ni dominant lines.

⋆⭒˚.⋆  ⋆˙⟡ ⋆⭒˚.⋆ ✮⋆ ˙⋆⭒˚.⋆  ⋆˙⟡ ⋆⭒˚.⋆ ✮⋆ INTJ Diluc:  “Visions are a light in the sea of darkness that surrounds those who have lost their way. But for those who have faith, they are little more than badges of conviction.” 

Scaramouche: “A puppet consumed by a raging fire will leave behind ashes. As for what will emerge from them....” “I'll leave that kind of thing to fate. Obsessing over something that's destined to be ever out of one's reach is just a waste of time. I have more important things to attend to at the moment.”

Ei: “All the world holds dear is but a backdrop of constant motion. I stand before it alone and unchanging.” “ Rainfall alone does not constitute a storm. Thunder is required.” “Thunder's roar and lightning's flash. So ephemeral. This is why reaching Eternity is desirable. ...Actually, this is why reaching Eternity is necessary.”

INFJ 

Xingqiu: "I've come to an epiphany based on some things I've been reading — ultimately, the arts of both the polearm and the sword are just the art of the "eye." Ugh, it's a little difficult to explain…If you want to know more, come with me to Wangshan Hall. But first, you have to promise me you won't laugh." Nahida: “Can you hear that? The heavens are whispering to all living things, "It's time for bed now."”

⋆⭒˚.⋆  ⋆˙⟡ ⋆⭒˚.⋆ ✮⋆ ˙⋆⭒˚.⋆  ⋆˙⟡ ⋆⭒˚.⋆ ✮⋆ Let’s compare this with Te dominant characters.  ⋆⭒˚.⋆  ⋆˙⟡ ⋆⭒˚.⋆ ✮⋆ ˙⋆⭒˚.⋆  ⋆˙⟡ ⋆⭒˚.⋆ ✮⋆ ESTJ Kuki: “Just like a certificate, this Vision is solid proof of my capabilities. The only difference is that I'm still not certain about a Vision's assessment criteria.” Ningguang: “There's no need to use a Vision in affairs that Mora can solve. As far as affairs only a Vision can solve go, I know of only one…”

ENTJ Ayato: “A Vision is an eminently useful tool, so it only makes sense to put it to good use. Also, I like to think it's happiest in my possession because it has the chance to shine away in all its glory.”

Let’s compare this with Alhaitham’s vision line: “To be completely honest, this Dendro Vision isn't of much help to my research... However, there's no denying the effectiveness of elemental powers when settling a physical dispute, so it still proves useful at times.”

Here we see him focusing on it like a tool, very Te. 

⋆⭒˚.⋆  ⋆˙⟡ ⋆⭒˚.⋆ ✮⋆ ˙⋆⭒˚.⋆  ⋆˙⟡ ⋆⭒˚.⋆ ✮⋆

“All scholars seek knowledge and the truth. Some do so for fame, while others, for ambition. And some others enjoy conquering knowledge and the truth, transcending them, and savoring the sense of superiority in the process. Alhaitham isn’t any one of them. He is only driven by what intrigues him. He believes that many scholars have already become lost in their pursuits, taking the truth as a tool or even a shortcut to self-realization.”

⟡ This is Te, it is something external to be analyzed and used effectively, rather than something mystical or transformative. Ni-dominant characters (like Mona, Scaramouche, Raiden Ei) tend to view knowledge as a means to a grander vision or existential understanding. Alhaitham in contrast sees the pursuit of knowledge as a practical exercise based on curiosity, disagreeing with the idea that truth is a path to self-fulfillment.

⋆⭒˚.⋆  ⋆˙⟡ ⋆⭒˚.⋆ ✮⋆ ˙⋆⭒˚.⋆  ⋆˙⟡ ⋆⭒˚.⋆ ✮⋆

⟡ENTJs do not seek meaning before structure—instead, they use their auxiliary Ni to foresee how structures should be arranged.

ENTJ (Te-Ni): "This is the system. How can it be optimized?"

INTJ (Ni-Te): "This is my vision. How can I make it real?" ⋆⭒˚.⋆  ⋆˙⟡ ⋆⭒˚.⋆ ✮⋆ ˙⋆⭒˚.⋆  ⋆˙⟡ ⋆⭒˚.⋆ ✮⋆

“There are many things in this world that may catch our eye, but don't always believe what you see. If what we see in the world were all there was to it, then there'd be no need to think, would there?”

 ⟡ This might seem like an Ni statement initially, but Alhaitham isn’t emphasizing subjective insight or hidden meanings; he is advocating for rational thought as a necessity rather than relying on perception alone. This is external Te: one must think critically, using logic to analyze and verify, rather than intuitively assuming deeper truths.

“They are a Judging type, they prefer extroverted judging and introverted perceiving. You could say that they are more aggressive towards the outside world and more receptive towards their inner experience.

Their preferred way of doing this is through extroverted thinking and introverted intuition. Extroverted thinking is inductive. It forms conclusions based on objective data, which they then aggressively try to fulfill. Meanwhile, introverted intuition is contemplative, in that it has no real interest in reality, but perceives the possibilities of ideas within their own mind, developing more and more compelling and intellectual ideas, theories and understandings. The INTJ, then, is a “trailblazer” for whom their subjective perceptions and musings hold more importance and interest than objective data and its resultant conclusions. They are primarily concerned with perceiving the possibilities of internal ideas, developing compelling intellectual insights.”                                                                                                                               Pierce on INTJs

⋆⭒˚.⋆  ⋆˙⟡ ⋆⭒˚.⋆ ✮⋆ ˙⋆⭒˚.⋆  ⋆˙⟡ ⋆⭒˚.⋆ ✮⋆

“Everything is connected. All I have to do is find the weakest link, deal with the causal factors, and everything else tends to resolve itself.” ⟡This is line is commonly used to prop up Ni, but we have to look at the context. Alhaitham is using the Te approach of maximizing his efficiency when dealing with problems: use problem solving to identify the weak point as the most efficient way to solve the problem at hand. He’s judging the concrete external data.  ���ENTJs analyze the rules of the game, finding every place where efficiency might be maximized, including themselves. They are oriented towards constant self-development, seeking optimization of their own workings.They reduce every resource to its essential nature (relative to their goal), and structure the situation in the most advantageous manner.“

⋆⭒˚.⋆  ⋆˙⟡ ⋆⭒˚.⋆ ✮⋆ ˙⋆⭒˚.⋆  ⋆˙⟡ ⋆⭒˚.⋆ ✮⋆

⟡Alhaitham does not act based on an inner subjective vision. Instead, his Ni serves his Te framework by recognizing how things should be arranged logically rather than focusing on a personal interpretation of reality.

"The collective needs motivation to execute its plans, just as machinery requires energy to operate."

Let’s look at Raiden Ei as an example of an INTJ: 

"The world remains constant over the centuries. But human life is like the dew at dawn or a bubble rising through water. Transitory."

⟡Alhaitham doesn’t speak this way—his analogies are concrete, structured, and directly applicable. Ei makes use of poetic or metaphorical speech detached from tangible reality. 

ENTJs are more adaptable because they rely on real-world structures, while INTJs go by an internal vision.

⋆⭒˚.⋆  ⋆˙⟡ ⋆⭒˚.⋆ ✮⋆ ˙⋆⭒˚.⋆  ⋆˙⟡ ⋆⭒˚.⋆ ✮⋆

As stated above, Alhaitham is not rigid in his philosophy. If a more efficient way arises, he will adopt it (truth serves no master). 

INTJs stick to their vision even when dealing with inefficiency. Their Te serves Ni rather than the other way around.

The statement above also is an example of Alhaitham seeing logic as a tool to be used, focusing on its functional purpose rather than subjective interpretation, focusing on how systems work objectively. 

⋆⭒˚.⋆  ⋆˙⟡ ⋆⭒˚.⋆ ✮⋆ ˙⋆⭒˚.⋆  ⋆˙⟡ ⋆⭒˚.⋆ ✮⋆

“However, whether one seeks it or not, the truth is always there, hanging high above the sky like an illuminating star. It is not the end of a trip or the destination of a match. It is and shall remain constant, regardless of human existence. Also, human pursuits will not simply end after certain knowledge has been acquired — though people never doubt that they can claim the fruit with joy and are prepared to sacrifice everything for it, their desire for knowledge will keep them going.”

⟡ While this is abstract and showcases Ni, Alhaitham is not trying to synthesize a deeper, subjective meaning of truth. Instead, he presents truth as an objective constant, independent of human perception— showing Te’s external objectivity rather than Ni’s inward conceptualization. His statement is descriptive, not interpretative. (*Alhaitham character story one. It’s not clear if this is the direct thinking of Alhaitham, or the third person narrator filling us in on his characterization.)

⋆⭒˚.⋆  ⋆˙⟡ ⋆⭒˚.⋆ ✮⋆ ˙⋆⭒˚.⋆  ⋆˙⟡ ⋆⭒˚.⋆ ✮⋆

⟡ “Alhaitham has no desire to take charge or influence people. Does this not directly contradict ENTJ?” 

This to me is probably the most compelling point against ENTJ. To an extent, Te will typically manage inefficient systems. 

⟡ ENTJs may value efficiency over authority. If leading is inefficient or undesirable, they won't see the point of it – we see this all the time with him rejecting extra unnecessary work and things that will waste his time.

Alhaitham finds leadership tiresome and inconvenient, but he still has a Te-dominant approach regarding his areas of focus and everyday life.

⟡He removes himself from unnecessary involvement, which is more about personal preference. We do see him very competently step up to take care of planning and acting out the plan against the sages, but it is clear that leadership and management is something he personally dislikes.

⋆⭒˚.⋆  ⋆˙⟡ ⋆⭒˚.⋆ ✮⋆ ˙⋆⭒˚.⋆  ⋆˙⟡ ⋆⭒˚.⋆ ✮⋆ Ultimately INTJs are more Ni-Fi driven, while Alhaitham believes in objective, external truths rather than internal, subjective perspectives.

“The ENTJ’s tertiary function is Se, and this gives a similar contrast between the INTJ and ENTJ as it does with the INFJ and ENFJ, in that the ENTJ has a better relationship with actual facts and reality. They possess both a contemplative perception of inner possibilities and a clear perception of the current state of affairs. For this reason the ENTJ is more comfortable working in real time, adapting to changes in the here and now.

While the INTJ wants to prevent interference in the manifestation of their vision, the ENTJ is not nearly as concerned with this, and may even welcome the challenge of real time changes and problems so that they can demonstrate their strategic prowess and flexibility.”

⋆⭒˚.⋆  ⋆˙⟡ ⋆⭒˚.⋆ ✮⋆ ˙⋆⭒˚.⋆  ⋆˙⟡ ⋆⭒˚.⋆ ✮⋆

I don’t have much to say on Se, the crux of this post is on addressing Ni and Te placement. Referring to the previous Pierce writing on INTJ, inferior Se cuts INTJ off from tangible reality to an extent. ENTJ has Ni and Se balanced in the middle of the stack, making it less likely for them to skip over the tangible facts and reality of the situation.

Unlike the ENTJ who is primarily interested in inductive reasoning and determining logical inconsistencies, this is not the focus of the INTJ. The INTJ, like the INFJ, is first an internal perceiver who gets hunches or sees visions of how the world really works. 

Like the INFJ, the INTJ represses Se, which results in similar difficulties and reservations. The INTJ’s perception of the real world is very unreliable; they are so focused on what could be that it takes concerted and unpleasant effort to focus on what already is. As a result the INTJ often misses or ignores even large amounts of data in the conception of their vision, always drifting away from reality before managing to review all the evidence.

Closing notes

I do see the merit in INTJ as a stance, and I do recognize that ENTJ is not infallible. However, regarding Alhaitham as a whole, he follows the trend of the objective impersonal truth seeker who lacks strong subjective visions, which leans more closely with ENTJ than INTJ.

Thank you for reading!

MBTI Observations

I've seen some astrology blogs doing this kind of thing and it seemed fun, so off we go!

○ When they are attracted to you, ENTJs and ESTJs will treat you like royalty - they'll take on as many burdens for you as they can, no matter how insignificant they may seem. If they have anything to say about it, you'll never have to pay for anything, carry anything, or walk anywhere every again. They've already got you covered.

□ ESFJs and ENFJs are just as intense workaholics as ENTJs and ESTJs, but oftentimes don't get nearly as much recognition for it. They are very goal-oriented people who can sometimes fall into the trap of basing their worth on the value they assign to their accomplishments.

◇ Way more ISTPs suffer from social anxiety than most people think because their perception of ISTPs is clouded by the stereotype that they're all cool, calm, and collected badasses.

♡ While ESFPs are stereotyped as the partiers of the MBTI types (and they don't seem to fight that stereotype much either lmao), they are also resourceful problem-solvers when they effectively put their dom Se and tert Te together, and it often goes wildly unnoticed.

♤ ENTPs are so strongly stereotyped as funny, tricksters who take things too far sometimes (probably a combination of their dom Ne and tertiary Fe), but their tertiary Fe gets just as much use by their sweet side that isn't talked about very often. They make specific efforts to remember details about you for gift giving or engaging your interests to feel closer to you. They are jokesters because they can tend to love chaos, yes, but they also just want to make you laugh, or make you like them.

JuJutsu Kaisen Personality Types: Maki Zenin

Maki's Enneagram

Wound: Maki was born without the ability to see cursed spirits or use cursed techniques in a sorcerer clan that highly valued these abilities. She was resented by her twin sister for leaving, and held back from advancing by the clan despite her abilities being much higher than her grade of 4. Additionally, as a girl in a very traditional clan, she was further subjugated, made a servant of the higher-ups.

Wounding message: You are worthless.

Core desire: To prove she's better than the people who mistreated her despite her lack of cursed energy.

Core fear: Failure

Defense mechanism: Maki is a hard worker who keeps her eye on the prize, striving and persisting against any obstacles.

Strengths: Maki is driven, hard-working, clever, confident, and an excellent leader

Challenges: Maki is prone to jealousy, selfish, insensitive, and prioritizes work over feelings.

When healthy: Maki is more supportive of others and sensitive to their needs.

When unhealthy: Maki is more likely to compare herself to others and can be spiteful.

Looking at all of this, here's what connects when I go back to the Enneagram post:

Wound: 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9

Wounding message: 2, 3, 6, or 9

Core desire: 3

Maki is an Enneagram 3.

Most people online seem to type Maki as either a 1 or an 8. There are certainly elements of both of these types that are present in Maki, but I really don't think they make sense for her when looking at the whole picture.

While Maki's desire to reform the Zenin clan and her high standards for herself certainly ring true of many Ones, there are several things about One that make it a bad fit for Maki. Most significantly, it's her wounding message: Ones believe "it's not okay to make mistakes"; Maki doesn't seem focused on mistakes or perfectionistic in the way a One would be, rather, she was raised by a clan that believed she was the mistake. It's her very existence, rather than her actions, that she feels the need to justify. Additionally, we don't ever see her become more spontaneous and fun the way a One would when healthy.

Likewise, while Maki's assertiveness and competitive spirit are something she shares with many Eights, along with her hesitance to show vulnerability, these stem from a different place than they would in an Eight.

Last, I think it's clear the few times we get to see Maki vulnerable in canon that her controlling emotion is shame. While Ones and Eights are ruled by anger, Threes are ruled by shame. Particularly in JJK0, she struggles with the fact that Yuta is a special grade while she remains a grade 4, and later, when Yuta tells her he admires her, it brings her to tears as she reminds herself it doesn't mean she's been accepted yet.

If she were an Eight, she wouldn't view her rank as a proxy for her own self worth, and would instead let her actions and strength speak for themselves. It also wouldn't have made her cry to hear that someone she envied actually admired her. (This is a psychological phenomenon called backdraft, and it happens when showing ourselves compassion unlocks some of our most delicate and painful emotional memories.)

Similarly, if she were a One, she would struggle the most with the injustice of the system that keeps her at grade 4, rather than with how it reflects on her worth, and would direct her righteous anger at the system, rather than directing her shame inward. And though it may make a One cry to hear that someone they envy admires them, it wouldn't be because they want to be accepted but, rather, because they want to know they are doing the right thing and making a difference.

I said in my post on Prince Zuko (of Avatar: the Last Airbender) that Threes are perhaps the most misunderstood Enneagram type. Out of all the people I've typed as a Three, only Kyoya Ootori (of Ouran High School Host Club) seems to be widely viewed that way, and I unfortunately think that's because of some negative stereotypes about Threes (that Kyoya himself is quite happy to reinforce).

However, when we look at the people I've typed as Threes, including the above characters as well as Machi Kuragi from Fruits Basket, we see that all of them have been made to feel worthless from birth and have been pitted against other, "better" members of their own families, and this is true as well for Maki. With a solid understanding of the Enneagram Three, Maki can't really be any other type!

The Enneagram Institute has great write-ups on Threes misidentified with Ones or Eights.

As I said above, the controlling emotion of a Three is Shame. From Personality Path:

Shame or Sadness is underexpressed by Type 3s, manifesting instead as attempts to look good in the eyes of others. They move away from feelings of inadequacy by trying to prove they are not just adequate, but in fact, they are the best. Anger may get triggered if their image is tarnished, around concerns about their reputation, or if they feel they might “look bad.” Fear comes up in the face of failure: a failed work project, a divorce or breakup, or an imploding business transaction. Type 3s may feel fear as a precursor to shame. Issues of image and concerns around failure are often at the bottom of the three core emotions for Type 3s.

Wing

The Enneagram Institute calls 3w2s "The Charmer" and 3w4s "The Professional."

I see Maki as a 3w4. The description from EnneaApp:

Measures self-worth through achievement, especially in terms of career

Hides inner struggle about personal value; has awareness of their shame

Drive to succeed complicated by creativity/the desire to know the self

Internal conflict/tension; more likely to know/explore feelings than 3w2

Introverted in comparison to 3w2; need quiet reflection time; less shine

Subtype

Since Maki is very concerned with her status in JuJutsu society, I think SO 3w4 is likely the best fit. From Enneagram Explained:

Focuses On:  The need to be valuable/admired in their groups and communities. SO 3s are more of the stereotypical 3 who wants to climb the social ladder and be in the spotlight. They can be highly competitive in order to be or appear successful in whatever they are doing. Relationship to Their Vice (vanity): SO 3s are more likely to show vanity than the other subtypes of 3. Potential Mistypes: SO 3s can often look like type 8s.

That this subtype can look like type 8 is the icing on the cake! She shares this subtype with Kyoya Ootori.

Tritype

With Three as her Heart type, I think 6 is her most likely Head type, and 8 her most likely Gut type, though 1 is also possible. I see very little chance of 5, 7, or 9 appearing in her tritype.

After reading the descriptions of 3-6-8 and 3-6-1, 3-6-8, "The Justice Fighter", is clearly the better fit. From Katherine Fauvre's website:

If you are a 368, you are ambitious, inquisitive, and protective. You want to be accomplished, loyal, and straightforward. Verbally adept and a good reader of people and situations, you have the ability to identify unjust authority, rebel against tyranny, and verbally spar against it. You seek people and situations that share your values and work hard to achieve your goals. You want to get along with others but can struggle with being too direct and outspoken.

Maki shares this tritype with Arisa Uotani and Kyo Sohma of Fruits Basket, and Sokka of Avatar: the Last Airbender. Interesting to note that Kyo, like Maki, was viewed as lesser than by the rest of his clan because of an inherited magic system, and that Sokka, like Maki, feels the need to prove his worth due to his lack of an inherited technique.

Maki's MBTI

Information-Gathering:

Everyone uses both iNtuition and Sensing, but one will be more natural to rely on. Everyone will also introvert one of these processes, and extrovert the other.

Someone who introverts iNtuition and extroverts Sensing will be able to cut to the core of understanding something in a state of deep, solitary focus. They will gather sensory information through their experience in the present, preferably with others.

Someone who extroverts iNtuition and introverts Sensing will tend to brainstorm aloud, connecting many possibilities at once, and will rely on comparisons to past sense-memories in order to understand the present.

I see Maki as using Ni and Se in that order, making her an -N-J type.

Decision-Making:

Just like with the two information-gathering processes, everyone uses both Thinking and Feeling to some degree, but will use one more naturally. And again, they will introvert one, and extrovert the other.

Someone who introverts Thinking and extroverts Feeling will use their own internal logical framework to come to decisions, and will base their decisions on outcomes for the people around them.

On the other hand, someone who extroverts Thinking and introverts Feeling will use external logic in decision-making, such as rules, laws, procedures, checklists, etc... and will base their decisions on the kind of person they want to be, or the kind of person they see themselves to be.

Maki seems to use Te quite strongly, and Fi to a lesser degree.

This would make her an -NTJ type.

I think it's more likely that Te is her Dominant process than Ni, making her an ENTJ, also called "The Commander".

Let's look at what Dominant Te looks like:

Seeks logic and consistency in the outside world. Concern for external laws and rules. Logical, analytical decision makers who organize the environment to achieve goals. Keyword: Organizing.

When exaggerated:

detached, cold, overly rational, critique lack of logic in others

Inferior Fi:

hypersensitive to emotions, feel emotional but try to control it, afraid of feeling strong emotions and try to hide it

And the description of ENTJ:

Frank, decisive, assume leadership readily. Quickly see illogical and inefficient procedures and policies, develop and implement comprehensive systems to solve organizational problems. Enjoy long-term planning and goal setting. Usually well informed, well read, enjoy expanding their knowledge and passing it on to others. Forceful in presenting their ideas.

She shares this MBTI only with a fairly minor character from Fruits Basket, Naohito Sakuragi.

Maki is usually typed as an ESTJ online. While I think she has a lot in common with some ESTJs (such as Nobara), I think Maki's use of Ni is shown both in her reason for becoming a JuJutsu sorcerer, and in her fighting style.

Where Nobara made the decision to become a sorcerer because it would allow her to be true to herself and move to the city, Maki made the decision to become a sorcerer because of what it would mean to her and JuJutsu society if she were to be successful. Nobara's reason is much more concrete and practical (typical of Sensing types); Maki's is much more abstract and relies on several leaps in logic to understand (more typical of iNtuiting types). It could be said that Nobara's reasoning is based in the present, where Maki's is firmly in the future.

As a fighter, Maki could focus on one rather straightforward, highly-effective technique, such as Nobara's Resonance technique or Yuji's direct hand-to-hand attacks. (Yuji is also a Sensing type: ESFP.) Maki's superhuman strength and durability - something she shares with Yuji - would make her a good fit for this fighting style. However, instead, she has mastered several cursed tools, and incorporates a wide variety of martial arts into her fights. I think she's able to do this well because she is making deep, focused connections in her training and even as she fights, constantly observing and noting the deeper meaning behind her opponent's choices.

Here is an article from Truity that summarizes some of the differences between ESTJ and ENTJ. A quote that I think highlights why ENTJ is a better fit for Maki:

ESTJs are disciplined and dutiful whereas ENTJs are innovative and ambitious.

Maki's Personality Summary

Enneagram: SO 3w4 (The Achiever/The Professional)

Tritype: 3-6-8 (The Justice Fighter)

MBTI: ENTJ (The Commander)

Maki is tenacious, hard-working, clever, and a skilled leader. She feels the need to prove her worth, but also wants to make things better for others like her or her sister. She envisions a future where people like her can be admired rather than marginalized, and she has the will to make that happen in her own lifetime.

Ni thinking and remembering

ENTJ: It's always so strange how you hear your voice in your head when you're thinking, but it's not actually what your real voice sounds like.

INFJ: If you think in words, yes.

ENTJ: What do you mean if you think in words? Don't all people think in words?

INFJ: Well, I don't, most of the time. My mind is mostly just ... empty. Or not empty, but more like everything is happening somewhere below the surface where I can't reach. It's quite peaceful. Kinda zen-like.

ENTJ: Okay, but ... how do you know what you're thinking if you can't think it?

INFJ: I don't know. I don't start a thought and think it through to the end. It's more like a soap bubble popping in my mind and thus releasing an entire thought process as a whole. It's like, when I have to make a decision, I don't think about it all. The decision will just come to me from my subconscious.

ENTJ: Yes, officer, and then my subconscious told me that it had decided to stab that guy and I was like "Sure! Why not?"

INFJ: You know damn well that's not what I meant.

ENTJ: Yeah, I think I get what you mean. I do think a lot in words, but what you're saying reminds me a lot of my back burner, if that's what you want to call it. I always have one or two things that I'm thinking of somewhere in the background that I don't have conscious access to. Like right now, I'm talking to you and I'm listening and thinking about your words, but at the same time I know that in the back of my mind, I'm figuring out a problem from work, but I'm not consciously thinking about it. I just know that that's going on somewhere simultaneously.

INFJ: What about memories? Do you have conscious access to them? Like, can you replay them in your mind like a movie or are they more abstract?

ENTJ: They are more abstract, definitely not like a movie. I mean, let's say I want to remember what I did on the weekend, an image of my couch will be flashing up in my mind, but I won't see myself, I don't know, press a button on a remote or something. I know what I did, but I don't see myself doing it. But when I'm thinking of a moment that happened, it's like I see an image of the place and then I can kind of zoom in on a certain spot or a certain time frame and recapitulate that. But still, it won't be like a movie and more the knowledge of person XY said so and so, but I won't really see or hear them say it again. I'd be the worst person to ask for a description of a person for a police sketch artist. I'd just be like "... yeah, he looked ... like a person. He was wearing clothes."

INFJ: Same. Not the zoom thing, that's freaky, but all the other stuff. The funny thing is, I'm actually really good at recognising people. I see a random stranger walking in front of me and immediately know that I saw them on the bus a few weeks ago or something. But don't ask me to describe what they look like because I don't know.

ENTJ: Exactly, it's like the visual memory is locked away somewhere and you can't access it.

INFJ: Yes! I always describe my memory as a library that I'm not allowed to enter, so I have to make a request for a book at the counter, but I don't remember what the book is called, so the librarian has no idea where to even start looking.

Their characteristics: They're someone who will cause some significant changes in you, especially in your growth as a someone. They will strive and encourage you to be a better person. They might influence you in making significant changes in your own life, such as moving out to new places and trying out new skills and having new experiences. They will encourage you to move on from the past, and I feel like this person will actually make you move on from your rough past. I don't mean this as if they're your rebound or something, it's just that moving on is natural for them and you could be someone who holds grudges deeply. And because of this, your next romantic partner would be someone who would help you move on, in a healthy way. I feel like you'll feel so safe around them to the point that you'll forget what happened to you in the past and just be grateful that you met this person. This person knows how to balance things in their life. They have all the stuff in their life and they're juggling them to balance them. They have these family and personal matters, then financial matters, their other connections (such as their friends), and then you. I can see that despite how busy they are, they still make time for you and they really manage their time very well, and you admire this in them. They could still be young and you could be young as well, or you and them just have this youthful nature in you. They're logical and private, they could be keeping information to themselves. This might result to them being private of your relationship. Your relationship is the private-but-not-a-secret type of thing. I also see that this person has leadership skills in them and they also radiate confidence. It's like when they walk into a room, everyone would turn around and look at them and just admire them and their confidence. They're a passionate person and they'll be very passionate about your relationship, especially towards you.

Signs: Fire signs (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius), workaholic, goal-oriented, ENTJ, INTJ, ESTJ, music/Spotify playlist, meeting online, social media is very important, private, mysterious on social media, dark/red hair, gym, hiking, surfing

Their characteristics: They're workaholic and they're still trying to get their life together. They could be chaotic or going through a lot of chaos when you meet them. They could have this push-and-pull energy when you meet and it might feel like this relationship/connection won't work because of how chaotic this person is. They're going through a lot of stress and they're just starting to face their responsibilities. Then you came along, which could cause them to feel more stressed and overwhelmed about their situation and their own life as a whole. They're still going through a lot of changes in their life when you meet and everything's all over the place in their life. They're going to move out to their new place (like an apartment) which could be near yours, managing their finances, thinking of resigning in their current job and find a new one. They could have a feminine energy, especially when it comes to you. I feel like they're quite in-touch with their emotions, in a way that they actually sit on their emotions and feel them and process them. They don't suppress them. This is why they could be in a lot of stress and be really overwhelmed when they meet you because they want to commit to you but they don't know how to manage everything. They would want to give you everything but they feel like they couldn't and they might get you involved in their chaotic life. It's like they feel that you'll stress over their life as well and they don't want this to happen. I feel like when you meet, you'll feel that instant connection and be passionate with each other the moment you meet. This might be a one night stand when you meet. And because of this, there might be a lot of confusion in the connection because it started in the way that you don't want. Despite that, this is a genuine connection, though it might take you a while to realize that.

Signs: Fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius), workaholic, goal-oriented, chaotic energy, new apartment, living in the same town/city, winter-spring season, ISTP, INFJ, INFP, ISFP, downtown aesthetic, blonde/brunette, blue eyes, how to lose a guy in 10 days movie

Their characteristics: You might not be fond of each other when you meet and there might even be some conflicts or disagreements especially during the early stages of your connection (not necessarily a relationship). You might see them as someone arrogant and insensitive of other people's feelings. You might be so annoyed of each other's presence and be defensive whenever someone disagrees with the other. This disagreement might feel like a personal attack even if it's not. You both might be young, you could still be students (especially university students). You might be in competition of each other in class and you might get into debates a lot with each other. I feel like you both will enjoy disagreeing with each other's opinions and answers in class even if you actually agree, just to annoy the other. Your classmates/colleagues could even ship you both and tease you from time to time. You might get into the same group together to work on some project and you'll be stuck with each other for quite a while. During this time, you'll get to know each other and realize they're not really who you think they were. They're actually a soft person and you have a lot of similarities with each other. This project will be the best project in the whole class (whole university even) and you'll want to work with each other again next time. I'm seeing that because of this project and you'll start to work more often for the next projects, your connection will start to get deeper. You'll be connected on an emotional level. You'll go from being enemies/academic rivals to being friends, then best friends, then lovers. From being annoyed of each other's presence to looking for each other's presence and laughter and time together. From hating each other and laughing when the other gets hurt (like falling off a chair) to being protective of each other. From denying the teases of other people about you to just accepting them and acting like couples, just like what they're teasing you about. You'll keep spending a lot of time with each other to the point that you'll study together and even stay up really late just to "study". You'll be very patient with each other now. And the rest is history.
