I can't take this seriously without feeling like a jerk. You win.

Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience?

This is the product of your own faulty interpretations and hasty generalizations, more than it's actual insight about ENTJ's.

Please enlighten me rather than just give a one liner refutation.

Anyone who stops working is by defintion a failure in a society.
Which is why procrastination is such a dreaded word in our current society, because it is the enemy of productivity, the model citizen is one who sells his life to the company, does not spend a day in rest until he retire. One who
stop working, spending his time on thinking things through or on something else is also a failure because he is wastiing his time, and therefore not working as hard like everyone else. The dream is to work as hard as poosible and hope to get rich, and tell your chidlren the same story,

But you don't get an extra dollar for every calorie you burn or every extra hour you spend in the office working for your boss. There is not a very strong relationship between how many dollars you make and how many hours you spend in your workplace. That is my biggest call that the article is bull. You might get the best grade in univeristy, but that is not how things work in the real world.

They do have the opposite values of INTPs hence the strained relationship. I have no doubt that ENTJ is one or the most hardworking MBTI type, but to equviocate that with earning power is ridiculous.

Anyone knows working hard is prequiste to success, but if you are doing the wrong thing, it just means nothing.

If you have anything to refute what I said, you can always go list the ENTJ's strengths (or weakness) and show how it correlates with earning power. (I'll give you a hint, its the opposite of INTPs).

Or you can continue your old tactics and accuse the poster of cognitive bias without reasons with support your arguement because every human being is prone to cogniitive bias.

are you arguing that the ENTJ earn less per effort even though they earn more gross?

they earn more because they put more effort. But in terms of dollar per effort, it only works so well until it hits some ceiling and bottleneck.

Earning power has a more direct relationship with sales, rent and interest, which in most case depends on the randomness of the economy, many other factors etc, but less direct relationship with direct effort and time spent on working. It has a greater relationship with investment, financial information and understanding what is going on in the economy and how other people spend their money.

Te strengthsis defined is work, deadlines and goals, and forcing yourself to reach these goals and external parameters. These kind of milestones work well in terms of self discipline and meeting external demands, but when pushed to the extreme, is OCPD. (i honestly cannot think of another disorder that correlates with this). Also working hard is different from Malcolm gladwell's 1000 hrs of practice theory, which makes you more competent in a skill per se.

One can argue that the top ivy leauge graduates are ENTJs, because it has a direct relationship with working hard, but the top ivy league graduates aren't the top earners, they may be part of the 1%, but they are still not the top earners. Mostly because they don't think about what they learn and how it works in society.

Also INTPs, given motivated enough, will find the laziest approach to making money, which is why i can say a fair amount of INTPs are billionares, but that only when they have enough motivation and can overcome their self doubt.
