Famous People With the ENTJ Personality Type

Famous people who are ENTJ personality types

Although the ENTJ personality type is the rarest of the personality test types, they’re extroverted and loud people who often seem to take up a lot of space.

The ENTJ personality type is very comfortable in positions of power like politics, and is very charismatic and charming. Thus, this personality type is often found in well-respected positions in society, such as actors, musicians, politicians, or entrepreneurs and business leaders.

Some of the famous ENTJ personalities listed below you’ll easily recognize as being ENTJ. Others, you might not even have considered as ENTJ. But for each person on this list, we have a great rationale for their inclusion.

Jim Carrey

Perhaps the most ENTJ of all TV personality types, Jim Carrey is a perfect fit as the start of our famous ENTJ personalities list. He’s extremely charismatic and charming and is well known for being funny and persuasive.

He’s also very loud and extroverted and shines in social situations or in interviews. Although Carrey doesn’t display some of the other characteristics of ENTJs, like being judgemental, or cold-hearted, he’s still a quintessential ENTJ in our opinion.

Margaret Thatcher

Perhaps a surprising inclusion on the list, until you remember that Margaret Thatcher was known as the Iron Lady. She was a prime minister of the United Kingdom and was a strict and rational leader.

Although not very well-liked, Thatcher was well known as a leader and has made an impact that lasted well beyond her tenure as Prime Minister. She also was a great influence for women in politics, as seeing women in positions of power such as hers was relatively rare during her lifetime—and unfortunately still is.

Thatcher shows that the ENTJ can be a dislikable character to many while still displaying the commanding qualities that inspire people to follow.

George Clooney

Another actor, George Clooney made a huge impression, particularly on the female population. He’s renowned as a charmer and is loved by the population. He’s also in an extroverted position and shows his personality often in interviews.

Key to his inclusion on this list is his pride of efficiency, and his ability to work hard to achieve his goals. Clooney is a confident leader and shows off the people skills ENTJs are capable of achieving.

Alexander Hamilton

As a well-known and prolific politician (even before the hit musical Hamilton debuted on Broadway), Alexander Hamilton is the exact representation of an ENTJ who used his personality to get ahead in the world.

To begin with, Alexander was a very charismatic person, both in writing and in person. He was also stubborn and convinced he was able to make the world better, working his way up the military ranks to become a general. After his time in the American Revolutionary War, Alexander still threw himself into his work.

ENTJ personalities are renowned for being hard-working, but Alexander took that to the next level. He was so convinced his ideas were right that he began to be less than ethical in his dealings.

Alexander fits the ENTJ personality type to a tee, with his extroverted personality making him loud and brash, and his judgemental attitude working against him to make him lots of enemies. However, he was still able to organize and inspire people to make a change, so he also shows off some of the better characteristics of an ENTJ.

Simon Cowell

Simon Cowell is an ENTJ every day. Particularly, Simon brings out the judging part of the ENTJ personality type in his role as a judge and coach on Britain's Got Talent (BGT).

His TV persona is cold and unfeeling and can come off as quite harsh and rude. He’s able to see the bigger picture of an artist on his stage and make a judgment as to whether they would be able to make it in the music industry.

Prior to working on BGT, he was also a record label executive and an entrepreneur. In these roles, he’d have had to show his leadership and planning skills, which are also characteristic traits of an ENTJ personality.

Simon shows how an ENTJ can be a successful TV personality, even when not being able to connect with people or make them feel comfortable.

Whoopi Goldberg

Another TV personality, Whoopi Goldberg is known for being an actress, comedian and author. She’s also the winner of numerous awards, which shows her success. She’s an entrepreneurial personality and strives for the top in everything she does.

She’s especially well known for her management skills and has a great capacity as a leader. In her TV persona, she also likes to debate various intellectual ideas with guests and often comes out on top of those debates.

Goldberg shows the natural attraction of an ENTJ towards positions of power by being well versed in politics, leadership, and as an influential personality.

Steve Jobs

Steve Jobs was a charismatic, passionate, and wildly successful businessman. He was well known for being a leader who could inspire people to work for him to achieve his goals.

Although he was inspiring, he was also known for being abrasive, even yelling at his teammates when things didn’t go well. He could be seen as domineering and arrogant, forgetting that without his employees, none of the work he was doing was possible. He was also known for being narcissistic and never following the rules.

Jobs proves that although the ENTJ personality has a great deal of potential, they can also be difficult to work with.
