Discussion As an ENTJ why might you spend your money to buy something for someone?

14 Upvotes

Do ENTJs typically like buying or getting things for other people? What kind of people do you consider worth investing in? Friends, crushes, significant others, or just people you care about in general?

I’m an INFP, and honestly, I barely even buy things for myself. But when someone is really important to me, I can’t help but want to buy them anything I think might make them happy.

I’m curious how ENTJs are with this. Would you buy something for just a typical friend, or does someone have to be particularly important to you before you’d spend money on them? Do you usually give gifts because they’re practical or useful, or because you genuinely want to make someone happy?

And what about paying for food? Who would you consider worth paying for? Close friends, someone you like, family, pretty much anyone?

This is a subreddit dedicated to the ENTJ personality type, according to Western-based 16-type personality frameworks such as Myers-Briggs (MBTI) and Jungian Functions. The Socionics type ENTj also redirects here, albeit to a lesser extent. ENTJs have a reputation for being task-centric strategic navigators that take things a little too seriously at times, but also appreciate art and serious conversations about emotions and personally held values.
