To cement his legacy further, Dracula inspired the name of Bram Stoker’s Count Dracula.

Four celebrities exemplify the common features of ENTJ famous people. Firstly, President Franklin D. Roosevelt demonstrated the strong leadership skills of ENTJs. He successfully held a four-term presidency during two major events, the Great Depression and the Second World War.

Who are the famous actors and actresses with the ENTJ personality type?
The most famous actors and actresses with the ENTJ personality type are Mr. T, Yousra, Lima Duarte, and Luiz Fernando Guimarães. These celebrities stand out because creative pursuits like acting do not interest most ENTJs. Although they’re naturally charming, ENTJs are better suited for film roles that allow them to take charge and make decisions, as in the case of director James Cameron.
ENTJ celebrities Mr. T, Yousra, Lima Duarte, and Luiz Fernando Guimarães excel as actors because they’re confident and charismatic.

Who are the famous economists with the ENTJ personality type?
There are few famous economists with the ENTJ personality type because ENTJs typically do not have the temperament for the field. ENTJ types excel in challenging, goal-oriented career paths like politics or entrepreneurship.

Furthermore, ENTJ types like to take charge which may not be ideal for economics unless they’re in a leadership role.
Who are the famous authors and writers with the ENTJ personality type?
The most famous authors and writers with the ENTJ personality type are Jack London and Mao Dun. Writing doesn’t interest most Commander types because it’s not challenging enough for their hands-on personality type, much like acting or music.

American author Jack London particularly exemplifies the Commander personality type. He was a rugged, radical literary figure. London’s innate confidence and charisma helped him build a successful career as a writer while championing many social causes.
Who are the celebrity musicians with the ENTJ personality type?
There are not many celebrity musicians with the ENTJ personality type because ENTJs gravitate towards practical career paths. Commander types are naturally charismatic, but they don’t enjoy being the center of attention or performing for groups like the people-oriented ESFP personality type.

In addition, Commanders are not typically creatively-gifted because they prefer logical pursuits and hands-on hobbies.
Who are the celebrity athletes with the ENTJ personality type?
The celebrity athletes with the ENTJ personality type are Paulo Sérgio Rosa and Steve Smith Sr. Commander types like hands-on activities that complement their natural extroversion and rational attitude. Paulo Sérgio Rosa, Steve Smith Sr., and most other ENTJs are well-suited for professional sports because of their innate confidence and determination.

As a Commander, she takes charge of dangerous situations and is shown in leadership roles throughout the series. Leia also tends to be rude and intolerant of others, like other ENTJ types.

How did these celebrities discover they were ENTJ?
These celebrities may have discovered they were ENTJ by taking the MBTI personality test. The MBTI test is a self-assessment that categorizes a person’s preferences, traits, and motivations into one of sixteen personality types. None of the celebrities in this article have disclosed they’re ENTJ, but we can infer their personality by analyzing the MBTI’s definition against the traits they exhibit. The famous Commanders we’ve explored in this article are all leader types whose careers and personal lives are defined by confident and charismatic personas.
How do ENTJs deal with popularity?
ENTJs deal with popularity very well, though they don’t really care about being popular. Commanders are naturally charismatic leader types so people tend to gravitate towards them. That said, famous ENTJs like James Cameron or Steve Jobs care more about getting things done and achieving goals than they do about being well-liked. Popularity is simply a consequence of an ENTJ’s goal-orientated, take-charge personality.
What is the ENTJ population percentage?
The ENTJ population percentage is 4.5% according to research, making the Commander type fairly rare. ENTJ women are more common than ENTJ men, with 5.6% of women having the personality type. Meanwhile, ENTJ men are among the rarest, accounting for only 1.3% of the general population. ENTJ compatibility with other personality types is skewed in favor of Commander women, though they’re rarer than other types.
What other personality type is the best match for an ENTJ?
The other personality type that is the best match for ENTJ relationships is INTP, known as the “Thinker” personality. Thinkers and Commanders appear very different on the surface, but their contrasting traits complement each other. ENTJs can fulfill the leadership roles INTPs need in order to enact their ideas. People with ENTJs traits further provide the direction and confidence INTPs need to come out of their shells. Meanwhile, INTPs serve as a source of intellectual conversation Thinking-types like ENTJs appreciate.
