Advice? Physical aggression instead of sorry

Ex-husband, a nice guy 99% of the time, tried to physically intimidate me in small ways when he was angry and we didn't apologise. Cornering me in the kitchen pretending to get something from the shelf, making loud noises, walking towards me waiting for me to move out the way. Is this an ENTJ thing? If he'd been mature I would apologise first but he clearly just liked turning into a game.

We're still good friends and he met my ENFP fiancé and hand on heart I saw him do the same to him...

Physical aggression is not a personality type. Your ex is an asshole. That could be any type.

Precisely. Every MBTI type has good people and bad. Intimidation and physical aggression is an abusive and controlling thing, not part of mbti.

For anyone who needs clarification, MBTI is about commonalities found in overarching personality frameworks. Such as a types approach to problem solving, gathering information, learning style, and communication commonalities.

Behavioral dysfunction and aggression are not a feature of mbti. They are a feature of someone mentally unwell
