I have been consistently surprised by ENTJ's. I don't know if others have had this experience, but I know a number of people who turn out to be ENTJ's who I would never have guessed were ENTJ's. It's especially surprising because supposedly your type is a very conspicuously authoritative, "Field Marshall" type and should therefore be easily identified. I do work for an ENTJ, and he fits the bill. But the others I know...are completely different: Two of them are very phlegmatic in demeanor, and another seems very much like an ENFP. Yet another one is very serious, private, melancholy, and has weird interests.
So, do ENTJ's tend to kind of morph into whatever they decide to be, regardless of how well it coincides with the typicality of their type? And is this deliberate...kind of an intentional way to remain outside the control of others (by escaping or changing the expectations of others) in order to have leverage...remain in control?
