The Levels of Ambition for Each Myers Briggs Type
Ambition is a tricky thing- something that can be seen as both positive and negative. Each Myers-Briggs type has their own set of personal goals and desires. Here is how ambitious each type is likely to be.
INFJ
INFJs do not suffer from a shallow type of ambition, and often set goals that are much more admirable. They do however, have this innate desire to make a difference in the world around them. They know in their hearts that they are meant to do something and make some kind of position change, they just need time to figure out exactly what this is. Searching for this can sometimes become a frustrating journey for INFJs, especially if they feel like they are fumbling in their lives. They can be seen as perfectionists, because they desire to do things right the first time. They are often hard on themselves, and simply want to be doing the best that they can.
ENFJ
ENFJs are often extremely driven and ambition individuals. They put a lot of pressure on themselves to be successful, especially since they desire to make their loved ones happy. ENFJs desire to be successful in their lives, and this something they usually accomplish. They are very hardworking and forward moving individuals, who rarely take time to sit still. They can often see the path before them, and will strive to get to their goals as fast as they can. ENFJs are often eager to accomplish their personal goals, but will also take on even more tasks in order to please their loved ones. They can usually become very successful business owners, simply because they know how to get things done.
INFP
INFPs are dreamers, which means they often spend long periods of time constructing new goals and desires. In their hearts, INFPs are ambitious people- with big goals. Their ambition does not come from a cut-throat place, but rather a place of beautiful dreams. They might want to travel and see the world, or even open up some sort of shelter for animals. Of course, these are examples- but INFPs often dream of making a difference in the world around them. They might struggle with actually taking those next steps towards their goals, which can be rather frustrating for them at times.
ENFP
ENFPs are often ambitious, but only with a desire to complete their own internal goals. They often do not want to accomplish worldly things, or tasks that other people pressure them to achieve. ENFPs have their own goals and desires, and are often itching to push towards them. They do want to be successful, but by their own definition and on their own time frame. They dislike when other people try to push them in a certain direction, and will often fight against that very intensely. ENFPs simply want to be able to figure out what they truly want, and then go after it. That doesn’t mean they won’t allow someone to assist them in their goals, especially if that person is a romantic interest who shares the same desires.
INTJ
INTJs are extremely ambitious individuals, who strive to accomplish their goals. They are often very skilled at seeing the next steps that need to be taken in order to get things done. INTJs are driven people, with a strong desire to push themselves. They often set these goals themselves- they come from an internal place. INTJs do want people to notice their hard work and their intelligence, but it is not something they need in order to move forward. Oftentimes, INTJs are driven even further by people doubting their abilities. They are excellent at proving others wrong, especially since they are rarely stopped when they have a goal in mind.

When they care for someone they will take notice of the things they want, and they will work to help them accomplish these things.
INTP
INTPs ambition usually comes in waves, and will fade out from time to time. They are excellent at concocting plans in order to reach their goals, but will often overthink these steps. INTPs are truly intelligent individuals, who are great at problem solving. The thing that holds them back sometimes, is that they will think about their goals, and analyze them- this can lead to them wondering if this is truly something they want to accomplish. Instead of just jumping headfirst towards a goal, the INTP will consider all of the variables. They will even consider what happens once they accomplish this goals- is it truly something they want? It can take the INTP time to figure out what they truly want, but with the right motivation they are pretty much unstoppable.
ENTP
ENTPs have their own unique type of ambition- which comes very much from a desire to explore. ENTPs want to be able to soak up new possibilities, and hate being held back by anything. They will often jump headfirst into something new, even if it is something that would terrify most people. Whether this be moving across the world, or simply taking on an exciting new hobby- ENTPs enjoy taking chances. They are often ambitious, but this is in a rather unique way. They don’t always want to accomplish the goals that others set out for them- and would much rather find their own way in life.
