    Ashoka personality type is ENTJ, THEN ENTJ. The great Indian Emperor Ashoka (304-232 BC) was a ruler who ruled an empire that stretched from modern-day Afghanistan to northern Bangladesh and was known for his radical and far-reaching reforms and his pacifism. Ashoka was born into a Brahmin family and was destined to take over the family business – making and selling perfumes – but he had a childhood dream to become a Buddhist monk. He eventually became a Buddhist monk in his mid-30s, but realized that in order to be the monk he wanted to be, he needed to leave his family behind. This was difficult because his family was, in many ways, all that Ashoka had in the world. Ashoka’s family were wealthy citizens who lived in a large house surrounded by farmland. He was raised in luxury, but still lived in austerity. His father was extremely strict, and any infraction of the rules could result in serious punishment. Ashoka was the only son in the family, but when he became a monk he found that his mother had not given up her belief that he would one day succeed his father, so she continued to spend money on him.

    Ashoka, sometimes Ashoka the Great, was an Indian emperor of the Maurya Dynasty, who ruled almost all of the Indian subcontinent from c. 268 to 232 BCE. The grandson of the founder of the Maurya Dynasty, Chandragupta Maurya, Ashoka promoted the spread of Buddhism across ancient Asia. Considered by many to be one of India's greatest emperors, Ashoka expanded Chandragupta's empire to reign over a realm stretching from present-day Afghanistan in the west to Bangladesh in the east. It covered the entire Indian subcontinent except for parts of present-day Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Kerala. The empire's capital was Pataliputra (in Magadha, present-day Patna), with provincial capitals at Taxila and Ujjain.
