Portrait of an ENTJ - Extraverted iNtuitive Thinking Judging
(Extraverted Thinking with Introverted Intuition)

---

The Executive

As an ENTJ, your primary mode of living is focused externally, where you deal with things rationally and logically. Your secondary mode is internal, where you take things in primarily via your intuition.

ENTJs are natural born leaders. They live in a world of possibilities where they see all sorts challenges to be surmounted, and they want to be the ones responsible for surmounting them. They have a drive for leadership, which is well-served by their quickness to grasp complexities, their ability to absorb a large amount of impersonal information, and their quick and decisive judgments. They are "take charge" people.

ENTJs are very career-focused, and fit into the corporate world quite naturally. They are constantly scanning their environment for potential problems which they can turn into solutions. They generally see things from a long-range perspective, and are usually successful at identifying plans to turn problems around - especially problems of a corporate nature. ENTJs are usually successful in the business world, because they are so driven to leadership. They're tireless in their efforts on the job, and driven to visualize where an organization is headed. For these reasons, they are natural corporate leaders.

There is not much room for error in the world of the ENTJ. They dislike to see mistakes repeated, and have no patience with inefficiency. They may become quite harsh when their patience is tried in these respects, because they are not naturally tuned in to people's feelings, and more than likely don't believe that they should tailor their judgments in consideration for people's feelings. ENTJs, like many types, have difficulty seeing things from outside their own perspective. Unlike other types, ENTJs naturally have little patience with people who do not see things the same way as the ENTJ. The ENTJ needs to consciously work on recognizing the value of other people's opinions, as well as the value of being sensitive towards people's feelings. In the absence of this awareness, the ENTJ will be a forceful, intimidating and overbearing individual. This may be a real problem for the ENTJ, who may be deprived of important information and collaboration from others. In their personal world, it can make some ENTJs overbearing as spouses or parents.

The ENTJ has a tremendous amount of personal power and presence which will work for them as a force towards achieving their goals. However, this personal power is also an agent of alienation and self-aggrandizement, which the ENTJ would do well to avoid.

ENTJs are very forceful, decisive individuals. They make decisions quickly, and are quick to verbalize their opinions and decisions to the rest of the world. The ENTJ who has not developed their Intuition will make decisions too hastily, without understanding all of the issues and possible solutions. On the other hand, an ENTJ who has not developed their Thinking side will have difficulty applying logic to their insights, and will often make poor decisions. In that case, they may have brilliant ideas and insight into situations, but they may have little skill at determining how to act upon their understanding, or their actions may be inconsistent. An ENTJ who has developed in a generally less than ideal way may become dictatorial and abrasive - intrusively giving orders and direction without a sound reason for doing so, and without consideration for the people involved.

Although ENTJs are not naturally tuned into other people's feelings, these individuals frequently have very strong sentimental streaks. Often these sentiments are very powerful to the ENTJ, although they will likely hide it from general knowledge, believing the feelings to be a weakness. Because the world of feelings and values is not where the ENTJ naturally functions, they may sometimes make value judgments and hold onto submerged emotions which are ill-founded and inappropriate, and will cause them problems - sometimes rather serious problems.

ENTJs love to interact with people. As Extroverts, they're energized and stimulated primarily externally. There's nothing more enjoyable and satisfying to the ENTJ than having a lively, challenging conversation. They especially respect people who are able to stand up to the ENTJ, and argue persuasively for their point of view. There aren't too many people who will do so, however, because the ENTJ is a very forceful and dynamic presence who has a tremendous amount of self-confidence and excellent verbal communication skills. Even the most confident individuals may experience moments of self-doubt when debating a point with an ENTJ.

ENTJs want their home to be beautiful, well-furnished, and efficiently run. They're likely to place much emphasis on their children being well-educated and structured, to desire a congenial and devoted relationship with their spouse. At home, the ENTJ needs to be in charge as much as he or she does in their career. The ENTJ is likely best paired with someone who has a strong self-image, who is also a Thinking type. Because the ENTJ is primarily focused on their careers, some ENTJs have a problem with being constantly absent from home, physically or mentally.

The ENTJ has many gifts which make it possible for them to have a great deal of personal power, if they don't forget to remain balanced in their lives. The are assertive, innovative, long-range thinkers with an excellent ability to translate theories and possibilities into solid plans of action. They are usually tremendously forceful personalities, and have the tools to accomplish whatever goals they set out for.

Dose of Events

Dose of Events

I’ve been mapping out the in’s and out’s of my new Idea to leverage www.YourZed.com’s potential. This is not really a rev model or the kind of business model wherein I get millions from users of visitors. This site would be a source of additional passive income aside from my other personal investments.

This is basically a tool wherein everybody can use this site as a gallery of events or happenings in their life. T’was with friends and colleagues that inspired me to realize this one. They all wanted to have a venue wherein they can exchange comments as to the impact of various events. This future tool can be used as well to product launching and startup reviews from around.

From Aboitiz to hrcebu.com to ukay-ukay.net to fildate.com to lagahit.com to yourzed.com

Those were the start-ups and bigfish who taught me a lot of things on how I can seize an opportunity and make the most out of it.

Aboitiz Co taught me of how to be different. Taught me how to excell in one field over the other. Taught me how to break new grounds thru various initiatives sperheaded by an able boss. Taught me how to look for better ways in order to survive in this ever changing world.

T'was with Aboitiz Co how I realized my true potential. I was so naive about how things works and how to manage people. T'was with this company that I pursued various agenda's and activities just to keep the pace and demands of the Company. I wanted to be one of those go to guys in any terms that is why I constantly look for opportunities to seize upon and put it in backpack or my portfolio. In this way I can fully tell myself that I'm not far behind if my company wanted me to handle huge projects. Unfortunately, the water runs dry and I felt bored worst demoralized though t'was not really a big issue after all.

Being bored was the worst feeling I don't like. I really hate being bored at the office coz I tend to feel being unchallenged ro being left behind. I know everybody is capable of something worth doing and thats for a fact. Plans can't be implemented due to circumstances that I don't know or we don't know that everyone from up their knows. This are the reasons why im incorporating "effective communication systems" as one of my indicators for a choice of an employer in my mini survey that would be uploaded soon at my job directory http://www.lagahit.com/. By the way, restructurign for http://www.lagahit.com/ is on going. I'm coordinating now with various freelance programmers that can offer me cheap services because I don't have the resources to fund expensive programmers. This is also the reason why I'm in the constant lookout for a new employer that can offer me a fare package for me to give my job directory a facelift. I just wanted to offer my fellow hr colleague a rewarding experience from me as an hr person as well and to my website http://www.lagahit.com/ a venue for all employers, employees & job seekers. Expect my directory to offer company reviews wherein employeees can rate their present companyies.

All of this happened for a reason i.e. I'm bored. I diverted most of my attention on this directory just for me not to be bored and to give this website an edge knowing that there are various portals out there who are offering some of my website's services. But, I would say they lack something why they can't replicate my site's service i.e. ME.

Aboitiz has done so many things to me. Trusted me on some initiatives and giving me opportunies as well. In fact, we just finish our aboitiz wide volleyball tournament last night and our company Metaphil which is an Aboitiz Construction Company landed 3rd place. It's good coz we landed 3rd out of 10 Aboitiz Company who participated in that event. I am really looking forward for another event next year but I guess my tenure for aboitiz ends here.

A good company and constantly aiming to be great. I'll be transfering those learnings to my new company and customize it according to my present companies needs. A big challenge and opportunity for me is up ahead and I'm gonna make the most out of it and give this start-up the edge over the other.

I'm proud to be of them i.e. Aboitiz Culture.
