It would make sense for you to be director if you're NT, let alone ENTJ lol. I thought you were sarcastic cuz it was just THAT logical.
And no, just some random chick on the internet I'm catfishing as. Your imagination can rest at peace.
Most bishes be Explorers

I think he still hates me from the suicide topic. Pisces moon grudges go deeeeep.
I'm an INTJ. I was tied between Builder and Director. I think I'm a director not a builder. Builder says I'm really social and good with small talk lmao hell to the no. I hate small talk.
I love how it automatically assumes you're a man lol
DIRECTORS shoot for the stars. These men (and women) express traits linked with the testosterone system in the brain. They tend to excel at analytical and strategic thinking. They are also direct, decisive, exacting and tough minded. Directors are good at what scientists call “rule-based systems,” aptitudes such as higher math, mechanics, computers, engineering and/or music. And they are often competitive, as well as skeptical and emotionally contained. Directors approach dating and relationships the same way they approach their other interests, by rationally analyzing their hopes, needs and intentions. Foremost they seek a partner who shares their goals, as well as someone who is eager to exchange ideas, build theories and talk about science, philosophy, history or whatever interests them. To balance out their forthright style and tendency to make decisions quickly, Directors tend to gravitate to partners who weigh alternatives, listen actively, handle conflicts deftly and have other well-honed social skills. Because they analyze their own emotions, as well as hide them, Directors tend to seek mates who are emotionally expressive. Because they have difficulty dealing with “controlling” people, they tend to be attracted to those who are flexible, even indecisive. Thus they often gravitate to Negotiators who have the empathy and emotional complexity to handle their forceful personalities.

How do I find the mbti type? Someone link me the quiz pls ?
Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® - INTP (Though it only just beat out ENFP by a very small margin)
I'm really curious how this happened because ENFP and INTP are very different.
From what I have seen of you around DXP, maybe ENTP but not INTP.

I think it could be because when it comes to 'getting things done' I'm very much INTP; however, in social settings I am more ENTP. Believe it or not, I have 2 computers open. I'm working on stuff and talking here at the same time. If you'll notice, from time to time I sound kind of impatient and a little robotic. Sometimes it takes my brain a second to switch back into 'these are people you're talking too' mode.

Yeah, I figured as much. You sound a lot like a friend of mine who is ENTP. That randomness you mention and the go with the flow is really not INTP at all.

State your MBTI type too if you know it.
I am ENTJ. And, I actually am a director.
I am an explorer - hyperthymic.
(Pasted it all for my record-keeping.)
Your score on the Explorer scale is 35 out of a possible 42, or 83% .
Your score on the Builder scale is 26 out of a possible 42, or 62% .
Your score on the Director scale is 34 out of a possible 42, or 81% .
Your score on the Negotiator scale is 26 out of a possible 42, or 62% .
Your Primary personality type is Explorer.
EXPLORERS are born free. They express more of the traits linked with the dopamine system in the brain. These men and women love novelty; they are willing to take risks to experience adventures of the mind and/or body. They are optimistic, energetic, spontaneous, mentally flexible, often generous and highly curious and creative. And they often seek a partner who will go adventuring with them: another Explorer. Because they are friendly and enthusiastic, have little interest in rules or schedules, and have no desire to control others they can make a date feel comfortable quickly. Explorers are also good at listening and talking. They are inquisitive, so they are likely to ask you about yourself in order to engage you and satisfy their curiosity. But they tend to play the field and seek as much freedom and variety as possible—until they are ready to settle down.
Among Explorers, similarity attracts, so another Explorer is a good match.
Here are some famous Explorers:
John F Kennedy
"The problems of the world cannot possibly be solved by skeptics and cynics whose horizons are limited by the obvious realities. We need men who can dream of things that never were."
Angelina Jolie
Freedom: has a tattoo of a window.
Energy, creativity, curiosity
Unconventional: vial of blood around neck at wedding.
Your Secondary personality type is Director.
DIRECTORS shoot for the stars. These men (and women) express traits linked with the testosterone system in the brain. They tend to excel at analytical and strategic thinking. They are also direct, decisive, exacting and tough minded. Directors are good at what scientists call “rule-based systems,” aptitudes such as higher math, mechanics, computers, engineering and/or music. And they are often competitive, as well as skeptical and emotionally contained. Directors approach dating and relationships the same way they approach their other interests, by rationally analyzing their hopes, needs and intentions. Foremost they seek a partner who shares their goals, as well as someone who is eager to exchange ideas, build theories and talk about science, philosophy, history or whatever interests them. To balance out their forthright style and tendency to make decisions quickly, Directors tend to gravitate to partners who weigh alternatives, listen actively, handle conflicts deftly and have other well-honed social skills. Because they analyze their own emotions, as well as hide them, Directors tend to seek mates who are emotionally expressive. Because they have difficulty dealing with “controlling” people, they tend to be attracted to those who are flexible, even indecisive. Thus they often gravitate to Negotiators who have the empathy and emotional complexity to handle their forceful personalities.
Among Directors, opposites attract, like Negotiators.
Here are some famous Directors:
Steve Jobs
"the Svengali of the digital revolution" “Brash,” “mercurial,” “notoriously prickly,” “fiercely demanding,” “brutally honest.”
Hillary Clinton
Direct, Decisive, Tough-minded.
Considered joining US Marines in 1975
First woman partner at her law firm
First female senator, New York
You are not likely to express all of the traits associated with these two brain systems. But you express more of these traits than those linked with the other two brain systems. Hence these are your primary and secondary types.

Your score on the Explorer scale is 29 out of a possible 42, or 69% .
Your score on the Builder scale is 38 out of a possible 42, or 90% .

BUILDERS are pillars of society. Most likely highly expressive of the serotonin system in the brain, they are traditional and conventional, as well as cautious, calm and often social. These men and women like to build networks; community and family are important to them. They make good managers because they are orderly, conscientious, thorough and loyal. And they respect rules and like schedules. Builders seek a stable and predictable team player, someone who shares their fidelity to family and tradition. They take courtship seriously, too. Builders don’t choose a partner impulsively. They believe in good manners, old-fashioned courtesy, punctuality and well-arranged schedules. Builders tend to think concretely; they are literal; they like and trust facts. So on a date, a Builder is likely to engage in tangible conversations - about food, travel, sports, the weather, TV programs and/or movies. They are often good at “small talk,” short conversations on concrete topics. They can be very modest when discussing their achievements. And they tend to take the opinions of their friends and relatives seriously.
Your Secondary personality type is Negotiator.
NEGOTIATORS are philosophers. These women (and men) express traits linked with the estrogen system in the brain. These people see the big picture. They are imaginative and intuitive. They have superb language and people skills. They are also emotionally expressive, as well as agreeable, trusting and compassionate. Negotiators seek someone with whom they can make an intensely intimate, deeply meaningful, inspiring and spiritual connection. But Negotiators, like Directors, prefer to go out with one person at a time and to explore the depths of this potential partnership. They dislike wasting time on irrelevant, trivial or boring socializing. When they find “The One,” Negotiators are superb at generating and maintaining intimacy with this partner. They avoid conflicts with a mate, and make major personal adjustments to strengthen this cherished bond. They give thoughtful gifts, such as a treasured book or photograph. They share their most personal feelings. And they want their partner to share his or her feelings too.
Negotiators are often attracted to their opposite, Directors.

Initially I got:
Your score on the Explorer scale is 22 out of a possible 42, or 52% .
Your score on the Builder scale is 23 out of a possible 42, or 55% .
Your score on the Director scale is 25 out of a possible 42, or 60% .
Your score on the Negotiator scale is 23 out of a possible 42, or 55% .
Then I had to take the tie breaker:
You have a tie between Builder + Negotiator!
Which is more like you?
So I did the tie breaker and got this:
Your score on the Explorer scale is 27 out of a possible high score of 48, or 56% .
Your score on the Builder scale is 28 out of a possible 48, or 58% .
Your score on the Director scale is 30 out of a possible 48, or 63% .
Your score on the Negotiator scale is 29 out of a possible 48, or 60% .
Your Primary personality type is Director.
