Why ENTJ leads
ENTJs are decisive, ambitious, and constitutionally incapable of leaving money on the table. INTJs (strategic, private, and allergic to doing anything without a reason) and INTPs (curious, skeptical, and more interested in the idea than the outcome) round out the top three. At the other end, ISFPs are gentle, present, and quietly experience-driven.
