Carl’s place is at the head of the crowd, marshalling everyone together and moving the group forward. He is rarely content to quietly stand back. On those occasions calling for him to follow, he does so, as long as he knows that what he is doing so will bring him closer to the goal.

Living in a world of thoughts, Carl is keenly analytical. Analysis and objective criticism are second nature to him. As an ENTZ, Carl often has a hard time understanding or appreciating appeals based on anything other than reasoning. He enjoy’s long-range planning and taking action. His vision enables him to spot potential pitfalls far ahead, often beyond what is known and obvious. Carl’s intellectual and curious mind thrives on new ideas, theories, and complex problems.

With superior organisational skills, ENTZs plan for all contingencies, leaving no stone unturned. The systematic style Carl uses to map out the objectives of a project enables him to arrive at the goal(s) on schedule. His penchant for quick, decisive action often leaves others in the dust. Problems invigorate Carl. He excels in positions demanding innovative solutions.

ENTZs are quickly disillusioned and unhappy when stifled or over-controlled. Carl has little patience with uncertainty, timidity, emotionalism, inefficiency, or confusion. Making tough-minded decisions and taking hard actions do not scare him. Carl is comfortable with risk and unafraid of change to accomplish tasks. With such tenacity, work and home life easily intertwine. Direct in his dealings with people, you do not beat around the bush, but plunge ahead. Carl perceives as feedback what other personality types view as criticism.
