High five to a fellow INTJ!
Did you know that we're the rarest type of all, representing only 1-2% of the population?
Yes, ENTJ is the #1 type for CEOs in North America, although interestingly enough, INTJs are not far behind.
BTW, if anyone is interested in how differing leadership styles can be effective, I really like the example of General (and later President) Eisenhower (introvert, INTJ) and General Patton (extrovert, ESTP). Both were unquestionably great leaders, but their personalities couldn't have been more dissimilar. Eisenhower was cautious, calculated, extremely attentive to detail, and a strategic, big-picture thinker. Patton, on the other hand, was a brash and bold risk-taker. I don't know if this is a true story or just an urban legend, but I love this supposed exchange between them:
Order from Eisenhower:
"Bypass Trier. It will take four divisions to capture it."
Response from Patton:
"Have taken Trier with two divisions. What do you want me to do? Give it back?"
