4. ENTJ is often shared by kings, queens, artists, actors, and businessmen
The indicator ENTJ is one generally assigned to dictators, (Napoleon Bonaparte, Josef Stalin), businessmen (Steven Jobs, Oskar Schindler, Henry Ford), and scientists (Aristotle, Carl Sagan). But some may be surprised to learn that Katharine Hepburn, actress on screen and stage, also earns the designation in some quarters. Though not universally, some claim other types for the actress. Always frank, often to the point of being blunt, Hepburn had a career path which resembled a roller coaster. Born to wealth and privilege and well-educated (Bryn Mawr College) she was a passionate athlete. As a child, she swam from an early age. She later excelled at golf and tennis, attributes she exhibited in the film Pat and Mike, in which she portrayed a skilled athlete. She became noted in Hollywood for negotiating her own contracts, and for her refusal to sign autographs.
Early film success led to a loss of popularity in the early 1930s, followed by a comeback later in the decade. A second decline led to her selection of the play The Philadelphia Story for her next film. She refused to allow anyone else to control either her career or her choice of films, remaining very much in command of her own destiny. Later in her career, she depicted prim, staid, ladies in films such as The African Queen, with Humphrey Bogart, and The Rainmaker with Burt Lancaster. Still later she returned to the form, so to speak, with John Wayne in Rooster Cogburn. Though as with everyone in this list other MBTI types are assigned to her, she seemed to have fit in with Churchill and others listed as ENTJ very well. In life she refused to accept categorization, so one wonders what would be her reaction to being so described.
