ENTJ
The year is 2023 and an entrepreneur by the name of Vivek Ramaswamy has stepped into the presidential race for 2024 – as a Republican candidate that if successful will first have to go head on against Donald Trump (ESTP).
Vivek claims he has “the legs” (his words) to run for office and his involvement with social media & podcast, his online presence has grown exponentially. I wouldn’t be surprised if he does take it, you see Vivek is the ENTJ and for this type, where there is a will (Ni parent) there is a way (Te Hero).
Vivek graduated from Harvard earning a degree in Biology then later advanced himself to Yale Law School acquiring a J.D.
Known for his work in biotechnology and pharmaceuticals, Vivek wrote a book titled “Woke, Inc.: Inside Corporate America’s Social Justice Scam,” in which he criticizes the growing trend of corporations engaging in social and political issues for profit. Some of these issues include climate-ism, gender ideology & COVID-ism. Come of think of it these are some perspectives I myself have often questioned.
The thing I like about Vivek is his ability to drill down on the more important issues and doing away with the trivial stuff (Ni abilities). Getting rid of the fluff is an Ni trait, where as Ne would likely entertain alternatives at times for the sake of pure enjoyment. But even in moments where Vivek is baited in, playful (Se) child takes a peak every now in & then to make light of situations.
Vivek’s Ni abilities to pierce through the heart of the matter is evident:
“Think about who is moderating this debate. This should be Tucker Carlson, Joe Rogan & Elon Musk – we’d have 10 times the viewership asking question the GOP primary voters actually care about bringing more people to our party.”
Vivek is kind of right here, in that there are some serious issues with the system (Te) itself, describing it as a cancer in the Republican establishment.
And if you’re even more curious about Se (child) in Vivek, here’s one which perfectly exemplifies that:
Of course Eminem wasn’t all too happy about hearing about this, but Vivek is a public risk taker, quite common with ENTJ’s.
In my critique of Vivek, are claims of a wolf wearing sheep’s skin – a sooth sayer & while this may or may be true, isn’t anyone in office just the same?
Just like many other personalities making waves, every type would want someone influential like Vivek on their side. I’ve seen votes for ENTP and the argument for Ne (Extraverted Intuition) which allows Vivek to shift his thoughts fluidly during a debate or even the ENFJ solely on the basis of Fe (Extraverted Feeling).
I do not see Fe nor Ne as much as I do Fi/Ni. Look at his face, that is not an ENFJ – that face has carried the marks of an ENTJ. That big smile is Se child surfacing itself just for the camera, or a mirror reflection check every morning saying “You are successful” is what I imagine ENTJ’s do.
I am not going to spend much time drilling down on every debate Vivek has ever done, just search the interwebs and TikTok and you will find that Vivek charges in with Ni and Te isn’t afraid to challenge the status quo. Te understands things will get uncomfortable, chaotic even – this is a necessary step forward and the ENTJ is familiar with these obstacles.
This is evident in Te’s (Extraverted Thinking) ability to engage with real world (political in Vivek’s case). But it’s important to note that Vivek’s resume includes several ventures, notably biotechnology firm Roivant Sciences which he himself founded back in 2014.
Vivek has excellent command of both Se (child) and Fi (inferior) as well – in debates he keeps excellent composure all the while maintaining his train of thought. Vivek is a man driven with purpose, there is no plan B for this ENTJ Vivek is in it to win it.
“This may sound trite, but I believe it to be true: Entrepreneurship is the fabric of what America is all about.”
