Neither. A country of ENTPs is bound to have one crazy enough to blow themselves and everyone else in the country up.
A country of INTJs will never get along long enough to mount an offensive and probably all end up stabbing each other in the back in a grab for power.

What are the other conditions? What resources do they have at their disposal? Military power? Do they fight with sticks? Or missiles? What are the environments of their respective countries like? We can't really answer the question unless more information is given.

I don't know whether to side with the Ne doms or the romantic interests

Equal resources, both countries have technologies of middle ages.
And those INTJs not involved in backstabbing would all be safely tucked away in their bunkers, each independently trying to figure out how to implement their personal plan to win the war. "Introverts unite! By ourselves...!"

I see. INTJs win.
When I think military strategy I think of people like Hannibal Barca and Sun Tzu, both INTJs. They'd probably go right on the offensive and attempt to smash the ENTP army whilst setting up a plan in case of a counterattack. ENTPs would all be too busy inventing cool new devices that don't really drastically affect the war.

The ENTPs would be less organized, but they are more and they could get allies more easily. The INTJs could win if they'd strike fast, but would instead turtle and wait until they had a perfect plan, and even then the execution would be horrendous.
Hm. Interesting. Sun Tzu and Hannibal lived over two thousand years ago, are there really any historical artifacts that would give hints about their MBTI type? The only thing I can think of is there military strategy legacy, which would connect with a typical description of INTJs as strategic masterminds, but that'd be so far-fatched.

I see it as the unpredictability of Ne vs the vision and efficiency of Ni+Te.

It's be like Transformers, the ENTPs would be the Autobots, the INTJs the Decepticons.
There was literally a thread like this a while back, but it involved all the MBTI types. I forgot what the title was, but it was an interesting thread nonetheless. Going on for 10+ pages if my memory's correct
I think it was in this forum too
Anyway, I'd say INTJ would probably win. Ne can be very distracting and Ni seems more focused. Also, Te is a good function for productivity as well

Hilarious, so true.
This is how I see it going down:
We don't engage, they get bored, war over.
Since they effectively self defeated we won but it's best not mention that lest they start the war again if only in words slung. This is probably their preferred method of fighting anyway, sending biting logical remarks that they only half believe in but want to argue us to death with anyway mainly bc it makes them feel so damn clever. We keep sending back "sorry couldn't read that, please send exact same message again" and they wither without gaining the power or variety fix they need. Victory will be ours.
Worst case scenario we send in our hottest INTJ female to negotiate with the head of the ENTPs. I have it on good authority that ENTP boys have a soft spot for INTJ girls. War? What war?
The ENTPs are child's play. It's the ENTJs that might make us work for it.
The ENTP is supposed to be diplomatic and analytical so they would take turns discussing everything in a board room without any sense of leadership. More than likely, the conversations would constantly get off track and there would never be a true conclusion about how to best handle the INTJ. Everyone would try to allow everyone to speak and someone would be standing in the front of the room with a white board and a marker. Eventually, there would be so much stuff written on it, no one could make any sense of it and the meetings would usually end with where to go for pizza.
INTJ would have far less people in their country than ENTP and no one in that country likes war or even conflict. For the first few hours, not a single person would talk or speak out loud. INTJ hates noise... among a great list of other things that people generally do. There might be some whispering here and there. People asking why they are still at the meeting, if they need to even be there, and what time it is.
Eventually, a brave INTJ would break the ice and say something needs to be done about those darn ENTP's. The INTJ's would automatically appoint said person as leader since they hate speaking in public and usually prefer not to have a sense of authority unless it is absolutely needed. However, the person appointed would resent the fact that he talked first and doesn't really want war or conflict either so he would resign and try to hand off the responsibility to someone else by the end of the first meeting. No second meeting would be made and no one would stand up and take the responsibility. The INTJ's would be in a checkmate with each other over fear of public speaking, making terrible decisions, and just the thought of sitting in another meeting with a bunch of people over something they didn't want in the first place is worse than war itself.

The results would depend on the nature of the conflict…
If it was a skirmish, a battle or even a short campaign, the ENTP badass warlords would definitely prevail because:
• Operationally speaking, they’re more flexible and adaptable than the average INTJ
• Their improvisation skills are superb
• They seldom hesitate to resort to the speedy use of brute force (Blitzkrieg) to vanquish anyone standing in their way
• Likely wealthier and more powerful (in conventional terms), in general
• Lots of allies
• Lots of expendable troops and minions
• Strong morale
• Remarkable leadership capabilities
• Tons of assertiveness
• Self-confident character
• They could rely on their superior prestige (a.k.a. “soft power”) to harness considerable internal and external support
• Better propaganda (they’re louder)
In this scenario, the INTJs would be crushed even before they could tell what’s going on. :shocked:
However, if it was a low intensity conflict (e.g. a “cold war”), the INTJ masterminds would certainly vanquish the ENTP magnificent warriors through:
• Force multipliers
• Asymmetric equalizers
• Diplomatic intrigue (“divide and rule”)
• Balkanization
• Wars of attrition
• Spread of disease (through poison, germs, drugs, alcohol)
• Proxy wars
• Scorched earth tactics
• Financial attacks (debasement of currency, predatory speculation, spread of false rumors)
• Hostile takeovers of the ENTPs’ businesses
• Disruption of critical and profitable trade flows (a.k.a. piracy)
• Psychological ops and disinformation
• Stealth and cunning
• Surgical strikes
• Better and more technologically advanced weaponry
• Subversion (instigating coups) and manipulation (fueling discontent and discord)
• Luring the ENTPs into an unwinnable arms race (how long can perceivers endure an exhausting, lengthy and costly competition)
In this scenario, the INTJ chess masters could defeat the ENTP conquerors or even make them collapse or implode, with minimum casualties, even though it might take decades. Perhaps the ENTPs wouldn’t even find out the INTJs were behind it all along :kitteh:
