ENTJ (1w9)
Walter Ulbricht personality type is ENTJ, or Extraverted, Intuitive, Thinking, Judging. If you’ve read my blog much, you know I’m a fan of MBTI and I use it in my career coaching to help clients understand their strengths and weaknesses, and the kinds of people they’d be likely to gravitate toward in various kinds of situations and environments. The thing is, I’m not sure it’s the best way to describe any one person, but it sure is a fun and illuminating exercise to take on a case study, and it’s always interesting to compare the results to mine.
So I took on this case study: Walter Ulbricht, the man who founded and ran the largest communist party in the United States until his arrest and conviction in 1973.
I was curious to know whether he was really an INTJ. And I was curious about his INFP type. He’s the only person I’ve ever seen who combines an ENTJ with a definite INFP.
So I turned to this article from Personality Junkie, which is a wonderful resource for anyone who has an interest in the various types of personalities.
Walter Ernst Paul Ulbricht (30 June 1893 – 1 August 1973) was a German communist politician. Ulbricht played a leading role in the creation of the Weimar-era Communist Party of Germany (KPD) and later (after spending the years of Nazi rule in exile in France and the Soviet Union) in the early development and establishment of the German Democratic Republic in East Germany. As the First Secretary of the Socialist Unity Party from 1950 to 1971, he was the chief decision maker in East Germany. From President Wilhelm Pieck's death in 1960 on, he was also the East German head of state until his own death in 1973. Ulbricht began his political life during the German Empire, when he joined first the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD) in 1912, the anti-World War I Independent Social Democratic Party of Germany (USPD) in 1917 and deserted the Imperial German Army in 1918. He joined the Communist Party of Germany in 1920 and became a leading party functionary.
