Carl Icahn personality type is ENTJ, the Advocate. He advocates for change, often at the expense of others, but also to benefit himself. His idea of the right thing to do is different from other people's. But he is not a sociopath. He has a sense of right and wrong.
I have worked with many great people who are ENTJs. They are all very effective in dealing with life. I also have worked with many ENTJ's who do not get along with other people, who are not very social, who are very argumentative, who are difficult to get along with.
ENTJ's are often hyper-focused on what they are doing. They are often very intense in what they are doing. They can be very successful as attorneys, engineers, doctors, and as business leaders.
ENTJ's use what is called "Systems Thinking." They look at things as a whole. They might look at a situation as a metaphor, as a whole system that they can change or control. Some ENTJ's use this approach to "control" their environment and others around them. They want to change others and the world around them to conform to their preferred type of behavior and action.
