World domination of an ENTJ, by TIM505 (entj).

Following a very disappointing scheme of world organization by an INFP on some website, I have decided to make a real plan. A plan that will ensure world cohesion. His plan was also intended as a joke. Mine isn’t. Mine is very serious. Everybody should know ENTJs hate joking!

THE LEADER, THE PRESIDENT, HIS MAJESTY:

First and foremost: I - The ENTJ. This is not even worth discussing. Everybody knows an ENTJ’s place is at the top. The ultimate strategist, the leader with vision -The one to give direction to the rest of the world.

CONSULTANTS:

Right-Arm: INTJ. The mastermind - The perfect friend and consultant to rule the world. The analyzer of plans. The most logic of all types. A definite must-have for any leader. He also ensure endless intellectual stimulation by arguing until early in the morning the meaning of any word, taken randomly, in the ENTJ’s speech.

Image Advisor: ENFP. The ENTJ always wants to better himself and improve. ENFPs are image-conscious and will advise the ENTJ on how to behave in public and stop crushing people like ants. ENFPs are also fun to have around and are good sex partners. They always want to please their boss. A couple of color crayons for kids will be available at the Palace so the ENFPs can relax doing drawings.

Clothes Advisor: ISFP. Clothes are trivial to the ENTJ. Unfortunately, the ENTJ cannot walk around naked outside his palace. The ISFP will choose clothes for the ENTJ. The ISFP’s masochistic tendencies will also come in handy for sex. They are willing to acceptanything. In fact, the ENTJ could have the ENFP in bed first and the ISFP wouldn’t mind joining in later.

DEPARTMENTS:

R&D: In fundamental research, the smart INTPs. They will provide the basis of scientific progress and research the most theoretical aspects. They will make brilliant breakthroughs in physics. When the ENTJ is bored he can also invite a couple of INTPs just to argue. The unlimited power and richness of the ENTJ will ensure that, in his palace, any broken glass, vase, window, pen, fork or door handle by an INTP will be immediately replaced.

In applied research, the genial ENTPs. They will come up with the inventions that will make everybody elses life easier. They’ll come up with new technologies: Like an anti-”SJ” mind control device that will temporarily change those worthless animals personalities to “NP” whenever they start obsessing about details too much. They can also come to the palace whenever Lord ENTJ needs intellectual stimulation - but smoking weed is not allowed in the vicinity.

Security: ISTJs. Mostly obsessive compulsive, the ISTJs lack of any real intuition makes them worthless.Their vision of the future is always unclear and clouded. They don’t have many insights, and when they do they are paranoid and delusional. For that matter, those pesky ISTJ robots will be best placed in Security. They will scan the environment by radar for threats, ensure each door in the ENTJ palace has 7 locks, operates also by card, requires eye, voice and DNA ID - They will keep detailed files of every servant in the kingdom and assign each citizen a number. They will also act as the police.

Since the ideal world is a totalitarian one, legal and executive functions are unified in the hands of the ENTJ - He will ensure that dissidents to the regime receive the treatment deserved. Knowing the overwhelming percent of ISTJs in the world, security will not be a problem in the kingdom. ISTJs will be continuously brainwashed by subliminal messages emitted by the ENTJ on TV.

Recruitment: INFJs. The best people have to be chosen accordingly. INFJs will ensure in-depth knowledge of all personality tests around and will be masters in psychology. They will excell in understanding the MBTI and administer it to all new recruits.Whenever they find a wannabe ENTJ, they will send him to the real ENTJ immediately so he can throw him to the alligators beneath the palace. There is only one! All other so-called ENTJs are impostors.However, the ISTJs will ensure administration of the test will be only possible to recruits, NOT to INFJs - This is in order to stop them passing and repassing the test 50 times.

Medical: Psychologists: INFPs. Psychologists have to listen, be non-directive, self-effacing and gentle.The INFPs inner calm and non-directness will ensure real psychological counselling, ?aRogers. They will take care of all the citizenstraumatized by the ENTJ’s power and directness, and past ENTJ partners still in love with him. INFPs will also be invited to the palace as an audience for the ENTJs argumentation with other NTs. Indeed, the INFP hates arguments and always agrees with the strongest person in a debate, regardless if he is right or wrong. This will ensure a good audience against the NT.

Doctors: INTJs. While the best INTJ will be my right arm, the others will be top doctors. Neurologists, Rhumatologists, Cardiologists, you name it. They will be the experts. They will also ensure research in this domain and will come up with a way to make the ENTJ live longer and be more powerful.

Nurses: ISFJs. What can I say about these people? I love them. They are the best. Most ISFJs will be placed in nursing. Since they are so benevolent, pure and obedient to the regime, they will be invited in masses to the kingdom. At least you can count on the ISFJs to rally behind the ENTJ. While the ISFPs, ENFPs and ESFPs will be sexual partners of the ENTJ, the ISFJ will be the ENTJ’s real significant other. The ISFJ will ensure harmony in the household and education of the ENTJ’s warrio…erm…children. Why the ISFJ and not the ISFP as a wife? Because ISFJs are so much more NEAT and ORDERLY, plus they have a strong respect for authority and tradition. Brilliant.

Hygiene and Cleaning Services: Who will clean up the palace and the citizens homes? The ESFJs of course! Due to the overwhelming number of them, no more citizen will have to clean up, cook, organize weddings, plan parties, etc. since the ENTJ is a powerful but also generous leader, he will place one ESFJ in each household.

Wait, don’t panic! The ENTPs will have invented the mind control device necessary to turn the e-S-f-J to e-N-f-Ps when they get too compulsive. Then they could act as a babysitter for kids, or if you don’t have any kid, you’ll have a temporary one at your disposition with the ENFP!

The benefits of having an ESFJ are apparent: You won’t have to spend time baking cookies, bringing the kids to school, organizing and cooking for friends and waking the kids up. The EFSJ is also an efficient nagger to remind your significant other of any task he/she’s not done yet.

The ENTJ ARMY:

Charismatic Leader: Ok, so at this point on the hierarchy, we need somebody with hi ideals that can mobilize alot of people. Since most SJs are a pain to boss around, somebody has to do it. That person will be an ENFJ. ENFJs learn by role modelling, so they will just role model their beloved ENTJ leader and integrate all his values. They will be able to tame the ESTJ lions in the ENTJ army thanks to their good people skills.

ENFJ are really the best when it comes to duping people into thinking they have benevolent intentions, something the ENTJ can’t do because he’s too straightforward. ENFJs are the only ones able to make SJs understand anything. Thank god they exist. Supervisors and small team leaders: Beneath the ENFJ, there will be a series of ESTJ Majors to lead those mindless ESTPs and ISTPs around. ESTJ are also good to have on the field amidst a battle. They are good leaders but they are also quite disposable. There are so many of them that it really doesn’t matter if any one of them gets killed in the process. ESTJs can use their football skills to throw grenades at the right places in enemy territory.

Disposable soldiers: At the bottom of the hierarchy, we need people who can’t think for themselves, who are conformists, who are unconscious about risk, who are willing to fight unarmed against a squad of infrantry with machine guns - We need people who don’t think- but ACT. We also have to make sure there are plenty of them so we can replace their (un?)fortunate deaths.

In a nutshell: WE NEED STPs! The ISTPs are the perfect soldiers: Fearless, think they’re invincible, don’t like talking, cold and sadistic, influenced by Rambo movies. They can also act as mechanics when vehicules have any problems.

On the other hand, ESTPs. They are great to throw upfront in a battle. You can tell them the enemy has beer in his camp and they’ll go running to him like bulldozers screaming “WAZZZZAAAAAAAAA!!!”. They can invent all sorts of stories if they are captured, and still not be busted on a lie detector.

They also are great salesmen. This ensures that if, regrettably, the war in place is only of an economic nature, they can go along selling junk to the enemy. For example, they can sell cars that will stop functionning after exactly 8000 miles, paralyzing all of the enemy’s transports.

THE AMUSERS: 

Entertainers: Last, we need to place those disobedient ESFPs somewhere. These people are really scum and are best left as disposable sex objects. They are good entertainers and ensure the whole society is [sexually] active.

They will be performers for the ENTJ’s vision. They will participate in TV shows like “ENTJ Idol”, a reality show where participants have to do all sorts of things to please the ENTJ. They will be given courses by qualified instructors and receive grades each week.

They will learn to be more organized, less changing, more logical, less impulsive and more argumentative. Aaaahh….Wouldn’t the world be such a better place?

The Right Brain vs Left Brain test … do you see the dancer turning clockwise or anti-clockwise?

If clockwise, then you may use more of the right side of the brain and vice versa.  Note: This is only a very rough generalization.

LEFT BRAIN FUNCTIONS uses logic detail oriented facts rule words and language present and past math and science can comprehend knowing acknowledges order/pattern perception knows object name reality based forms strategies practical safe

RIGHT BRAIN FUNCTIONS uses feeling “big picture” oriented imagination rules symbols and images present and future philosophy & religion can “get it” (i.e. meaning) believes appreciates spatial perception knows object function fantasy based presents possibilities impetuous risk taking

Here’s a hack to help see the other direction: http://ofb.net/~whuang/imgs/spin/

Neurophilsophy blog discussion on it: http://scienceblogs.com/neurophilosophy/2007/10/the_left_brain_right_brain_myt.php

Humans are social organisms. Societies in which we live forces interactions, and interactions create relationships. We cannot live without interactions and relationships in this society. Business is indeed a collection of relationships - relationship with customers or clients, relationship among co-workers, relationship between suppliers and consumers, etc. Business is also about trades. Through the relationships developed, we create supply chains, resource allocations, and added values in our products and services.

Relationships dwindle in egotism and prosper through active two-way communication. Synergy allows a business to out perform its competitors with same tangible resources by enhancing the interactions and relationships between and within each processes.

You must do the things you think you cannot do. - Eleanor Roosevelt

Synergy starts from transformation.

Synergy is created when members from a diversified team collaborate to transform an existing business process. A great synergistic leader is therefore someone who can be effective during these transitions. Since a business is like an organism, it must constantly evolve in order to survive. The information technology revolution of the 1990s has accelerated the evolution of world economy and subsequently, created a constant flow of opportunities for businesses that could either lead to success or failure. Successful synergistic leaders welcome this ever-changing economy and are capable of transforming new challenges into synergy generating opportunities. Sony’s stumble at the surge of this revolution and the resignation of its then-CEO Mr. Nobuyuki Idei, clearly demonstrate a lack in synergistic leadership and failure in adapting to this newly emerging business environment.

Synergy arises from harmony of diversification.

Diversification of thoughts, characteristics and styles stimulates excitement and competition.

The whole is greater than the sum of its parts

Whether you operate a small business, large corporation or non-profit organization, you are not excluded from this age long concept - synergy. The word ’synergy’ stemmed from a Greek word ’synergos’ which means ‘working together.’ Synergy is created when two or more units interact effectively and efficently to create an added value beyond the sum of the individual values. Let’s look at how you can create synergy in your organization.

We will first look at what synergy is and then discuss the common traits of the synergistic executive who work as the catalyst. Here are the four fundamentals to prepare before we can successfully create synergistic organization:

1. Know-how: Understanding the benefits of synergy, management techniques and total quality service (TQS) techniques.
2. Talent: Brain management, creativity promotion and education and training.
3. Skills: - Management leadership, effective communication and decision-making.
4. Behavior: - mental constitution, confidence and professionalism

Know-how and talent will create ability, and proper skills and behavior will create vitality in the work force. The combination of ability and vitality is imperative to creating synergistic performance. We will discuss in detail on each of these fundamentals in later posts.
