    Best Hobbies for ENTJs: What Actually Holds a Commander's AttentionIf you are an ENTJ, most hobby lists read like they were written for someone with time to kill, and you do not have time to kill. You have targets. The wrong hobby for you is not just boring, it is offensive to how you operate: aimless, formless, with no way to tell whether you are getting better and no reason to show up next week. You do not relax by doing nothing. You relax by pointing your whole engine at something worth beating and then beating it. What you actually want from a hobby is a scoreboard, a ladder to climb, a demanding skill to master faster than the people around you, and ideally an opponent. This is the honest list of what delivers that, and it is not restricted to the obvious.
