Provocation and Suppression

ESTJ sets rules -> ENTP deliberately provokes/finds loopholes -> ESTJ gets angry and tightens control -> ENTP finds ESTJ unreasonable and becomes more rebellious -> A vicious cycle.

Breaking Point: ESTJ tolerates for the sake of results; ENTP restrains themselves for the sake of benefit.

Love Survival Guide

Advice for ENTP

Golden Rule: Speak with results, not just words. If you can help them make money/solve problems, they will tolerate your quirks.

  • Don't argue just for the sake of it; choose your battles wisely.
  • Adhere to the non-negotiable rules they won't compromise on (e.g., punctuality).
  • Package your ideas as 'optimization solutions for increased efficiency'.
  • Acknowledge their leadership; you probably don't want to deal with the trivialities anyway.

Advice for ESTJ

Golden Rule: As long as they don't burn down the house, let them be.

  • Don't try to brainwash them; their logical loop is tighter than yours.
  • Focus on their results, ignore their process.
  • When they raise an objection, they might be right; listen to them.
  • Give them some space to run wild; that's how they recharge.

Ideal Dates

  • Business trips/Inspections: Where there's actual work to be done.
  • Intellectual competitions: To showcase abilities.
  • Watching news/financial channels together: To discuss current affairs.
