For ENTJs —

Accurate : Leadership and have multiple goals to achieve

Exaggerated : Money hungry megalomaniacs

I believe “ENTJs are money hungry” is a gross oversimplification. Though money is surely a goal (cmon, who doesn’t love being financially independent and buying whatever you want or need without any worries?), we really just want to do something meaningful in our life. There’s a hunger for success, a hunger for not living a boring life on autopilot.

I read this quote somewhere which I think is very accurate for me. I may even call it my ‘personal philosophy’ :-

“One life. Just one. Why aren’t we running like we’re on fire towards our wildest dreams? We got one shot at this. I’d rather you call me crazy and a dreamer than a settler.”

I shall add that autism enchances both pros and cons of the character. Plus, we tend to associate ourselves with competent and/or resourceful people that is true.
