What Personality Types is ENTJ Compatible With?
The ENTJ personality
The ENTJ is a personality type from the my personality types. The personalities are made up of four ‘keystones’ of the personality. For the ENTJ, these are extroversion, intuitive, thinking, and judging. This makes the ENTJ a strong personality, often given the nickname the ‘commander’.
They’re likely to be in positions of power, like a politician, actor, or manager. They’re also well suited to business and entrepreneurial pursuits. However, the ENTJ is notorious as someone who’s difficult to get along with. In this article we’re going to be looking at the personality types the ENTJ is compatible with.
ENTJs in a relationship
ENTJs are constantly looking to improve. When in a romantic relationship with an ENTJ this can be intimidating, even though it can be beneficial in working relationships or platonic relationships. The ENTJ is often enthusiastic and will often bring in some creative adventures to help keep things interesting for their partner.
The ENTJ has many strengths as a partner. They’re straightforward and direct, with no time for playing around with “testing” their partner or mind games. They’re also committed and honest, with their full attention on their partner.
Additionally, an ENTJ loves to debate and communicate about all kinds of complex topics, so they’re very open to communicating issues. The ENTJ is also disciplined with high standards, so they won’t be a slob and refuse to do any work. As an enthusiastic partner, they’re likely to keep the relationship interesting.
However, ENTJs also have weaknesses in a relationship of any kind. They can be argumentative and confrontational, with small disagreements rapidly escalating into heated debates. They can be insistent on proving themselves right and are often incapable of seeing issues from another person's perspective.
They struggle with expressing emotions and can sometimes struggle with acknowledging their partner or their partner’s needs, particularly if doing so requires self-reflection and self-criticism.
Because of these unique characteristics of an ENTJ, they’re best suited to working with compatible personality types.
INTJ
The INTJ is very similar to the ENTJ, with three of the keystone aspects of their personalities the same. The only way they’re different is that the INTJ is introverted while the ENTJ is extroverted. However, this isn’t an issue as the INTJ is likely to be happy to sit and listen to the ENTJ while still being able to contribute to discussions.
The ENTJ loves people who are able to have a strong debate and who share similar views, as they’re often very arrogant and self-assured in their decisions. The INTJ is likely to have a similar worldview to the ENTJ, which means that conflict in this relationship will be less likely, with the INTJ often supporting and agreeing with the ENTJ.
If two ENTJs were trying to work together, the desire of each to be the leader of the other might lead to conflict, while the INTJ is more likely to be satisfied with less of the spotlight.
The ENTJ can also be a supportive influence on the INTJ. While they struggle with connecting on a personal level, the ENTJ can help to push the INTJ to show off their skills to the world. The ENTJ might even step up and force the INTJ out of their comfort zone to show off their ideas and work ethic.
This relationship with the INTJ offers the best compatibility for the ENTJ as both share similar ideals and enjoy the same things. The ENTJ isn’t very good at adapting to other people if they’re significantly different, so it’s a great idea for them to have a relationship with similar people, like the INTJ.
This relationship works great in a number of contexts, including workplace relationships or more intimate relationships, like friends or romantic partners.
ENTP
The ENTP can interact well with the ENTJ, although possibly not as well as the INTJ. The ENTP is very similar to the ENTJ, except the ENTP is perceiving rather than judging. They’re still very likely to share the same values and general approach to life, so they aren’t likely to aggravate the ENTJ.
Their differences in opinion about how to deal with the world will often lead to interesting discussions and debates, which will intrigue the ENTJ and help keep them invested in the relationship. As both people are extroverted, they’ll also be able to connect over social events and enjoy being around each other.
The ENTP is a great choice for a friend or a workmate of an ENTJ, but might struggle as a romantic partner due to differences in opinion over how to handle conflicts that inevitably arise.
ENFJ
The ENFJis also similar to the ENTJ, with the difference being ENFJsy are mostly led with their feelings rather than with logical thinking. This difference isn’t likely to alienate the ENTJ as the two personalities still share very similar views.
In this relationship, the ENFJ is more likely to be the person who feels upset and not listened to, as the ENTJ struggles to show their emotions and to connect with people. But as the ENTJ and ENFJ are likely to have a similar worldview, these differences may make the ENTJ intrigued and more interested in getting to know the ENFJ.
This relationship should have a lot of common interests and opportunities to connect to allow the ENTJ enough time to get comfortable and try to express their emotions to satisfy the ENFJ.
