I think that, the ENTJ is largely mistaken for a person who has their shit together. And imo, this is the largest reason for the vast mis-typings I see. If I see a dom-Te user my first guess will always be an ESTJ first, ESTP or ENTJ second. The ENTJ is quite off-the-wall, often making up answers to questions and problems that are completely off-base. They disguise their insecurities with lies, a carefully put together self-image, and sheer willpower. They can be extremely moody, especially when alone or away from the people for whom they push their image, and their abnormal competitiveness means that they are often going to explode in bouts of rage when thing do not go their way. They can be goofy, unorganized, slackers even because they are intuitive and I believe that the notion of them being the “high school achiever” is not wrong. It’s just that for every captain of football, chess team and class president ENTJ there is another one who slacks off, procrastinates on his work, argues with everyone, has alcoholism issues, and has a good sense of humor. ENTJ have the largest range of personality of any extroverted thinker. The ENTJ usually understands reality exactly as it is, but then follows their Ni over their Se which causes existential melancholy when they don’t live according to what they know they need to do in order to be happy. Of course, the non-square ENTJ are basically looked at as ENTP 8w7 or some other ridiculous mistyping. If there is one stereotyped characteristic however that all ENTJ DO posses, it’s the ability to lead.

hot take: 8s aren't actually any angrier than other gut cores or even fixes -- they just don't repress their anger at all. Even 8w9 based resistance isn't necessarily repression, they're resisting the act of reacting.

“In films, we are voyeurs, but in novels, we have the experience of being someone else: knowing another person’s soul from the inside. No other art form does that. And this is why sometimes, when we put down a book, we find ourselves slightly altered as human beings. Novels change us from within.”
