Analysts ENTP

Smart and curious thinkers who cannot resist an intellectual challenge.

'My ESTJ husband knows better than to go all bossy boss with me. He has learned how to phrase his requests in ways that are acceptable to me, e.g., Maybe sometime today you could vacuum since your...

ABSOLUTELY! I get a little... obsessive... and competitive....

I've been using iPhoto, so just pretty basic stuff but it's nothing I've ever tried before. Mostly I've been getting good at deleting things I don't want from my photos like ugly trash cans in the...

I'm gonna try yoga and Prozac. Weed gets expensive.

Once when I was leaving a Red Sox game a Canadian stranger threw trash at my friend, so I tackled him in the streets of Boston and yelled at him for disrespecting women and littering in our country.

NO NO NO!!!! ENTPs sometimes have a problem with boundaries... this guy need to know that pork is a hard limit for you, end of discussion. You should not have to explain and defend your reasons....

Strange that it would! cried Marianne. What have wealth and grandeur to do with happiness? Grandeur has but little, said Elinor, but wealth has much to do with it. Elinor, for shame! said...

I think I am getting so worked up just because of this helplessness you mentioned. I am so accustomed to dealing with problems by taking action, etc to optimize my outcomes. It is hard when outcomes...

What do you find to be effective ways of coping with bursts of high stress? I have a lot of stress in my life currently, and am looking for some new methods to deal with this productively and...

ESTJ spouse x 5 years (almost). He's a guy who really knows where his towel is, if you know what I mean.

Is this game even for real? I have a suspicion, as others have mentioned, that it is an invention of the insecure, or of people who don't actually want to go on dates. I feel like you should...

One of the good things about working with SJs, is you can foist a lot of that boring stuff off on them, and reciprocate by scooping up responsibility for that tasks that they hate but aren't so bad...

Ok so I think you are looking at this backwards. It sounds to me from your post that you have mostly enjoyed your course work and internships, but have some lingering doubts as it grows closer to...

Geonerd I feel like we are basically saying the same thing with the 2 weeks being potentially ambiguous. It is perhaps hard for me to look back as a married-for-years-now person (as I know you...

Yes and no. It's more that I would not consider dating for two weeks to make a person my boyfriend. And I wouldn't consider dating someone else at that point to be cheating. But I wouldn't pretend...

I agree with the late bloomer consensus. High school was certainly not my glory days. College/grad school was better- I had far better luck with friends when I actually chose them based on shared...

There is just absolutely no way I would even remotely commit to another person after 2 weeks of dating. I don't even consider that really dating. Just... going on dates. But I always insisted that I...

Absolutely avoidance. And if I'm stuck with the person, maybe try to distract them. Or make myself unavailable (e.g.headphones) or extremely dull so they'll leave.

I've always kind of thought I was all 16 types simultaneously. Maybe we're like... divergent.

Nah, Bella can have him. Necro's a hard limit for me.

I am a pharmacist and I know a lot of physicians, as well as PAs and NPs, both personally and professionally. I have not noticed a particular tendency for them to be NTs. I would say all the SJ types...

It is so hard to go from riding high and feeling like you rule the world, to suddenly feel like you've fallen off a cliff and left your climbing equipment at the top. I know I personally was used to...

I shun all collars in favor of athleisure wear.

I had a lot of similar miscommunication issues with my ESTJ husband back when we were first dating, so here's my two cents as far is your situation is concerned. Being in a relationship with a Te dom...

All sea creature-human love contained in this novel is totally consensual. And we're led to believe that the colonel's tentacles are strangely alluring to young Marianne.

I also like when guys don't try to hard to please me. Like, don't be a suck up or say what you think I want to hear. And don't be too available to be at my beck and call all the time.

It sounds like you two have been essentially dating for a while, it just was not acknowledged by either of you. Now you can just carry on- but also make out. As long as you carry on treating one...

A few scenarios to consider: 1. What if the beast is the initiator? Everyone knows dolphins like to drag ppl down to their rape caves and have their way under the sea. 2. Some animals can be...

Sounds like you were just made for reaching objects from high places. Oh, if I only had your wingspan.

Tall & skinny --> wicked hot

I have always self-identified as an introvert. Although I am an active person and was an active child, I was never really people-oriented, and have always spent a lot of time alone. Members of my...

The only things I can think of are way way TMI, so I guess you can just imagine them.

373634 I was hanging around some of JKR's old haunts a couple weeks ago... but sadly she didn't show.

More tequila will solve that problem. Ugly, shmugly!

I can't imagine any parent ever telling a young girl to always agree with her boyfriend. OMG. Thanks, M&D for telling me to use my own brain.

I like to re-friend my enemies when they get engaged and start planning expensive weddings so I score an invite. Then I drink all their tequila and dance with the groom.

I have always thought that I was far lower-maintainence than most other women I know, in family/friend relationships as well as intimate relationships. A lot of people I know do things that I find to...

I'm not really a frequent flier on this forum, but I'll chime in with the crowd and say that I don't mind at all when other types post here. Visit away! Especially if you tell us you <3 us.

Jamaia; Geonerd Thanks for the encouragement, ladies. Most of my friends who have children have small babies and tots and it can be rather dizzying to observe all the appointments and paraphernalia...

This gave me a minor panic attack. I don't think I have it in me to organize to this level. I am impressed and will note your coping mechanisms in case I ever reproduce. How possible do you think it...

I can double down on this, though I wouldn't say I hate women (I'm sure you don't either). I find both friendships and casual conversations to be generally easier and more satisfying with men or...

This is amazing b/c it is precisely equal an opposite to my own experiences. I think that Ne and Te are functions in which strong users of one have a very, very, hard time instinctively...

In what units is this Te measured??? I can take a fair amount from my Te-dom spouse, but there are other high Te users in my life who are more choking presences. So, highly variable based on...

I've never really felt like I was mom material per se. Nurturing, kindness, patience, etc does not come naturally to me. Also I really like sleep. However my husband wants children with all the...

Maybe you should do the opposite of living together without getting married: you could get married without living together! Or at very least keep separate bedrooms/territories (like in Downton Abbey)...

That is interesting b/c I always felt in school that I had an advantage over many of the other (probably SJ) pharmacy students b/c while they were busy memorizing things that anyone could easily just...

Interesting b/c ENTJ is one of the types I feel I have the least in common with and find little to personally identify with in descriptions. The couple ENTJs I know IRL are not people who I think of...

I knit too (when it's cold) and paint watercolors (when it's hot). My home is scattered with the paraphernalia of these hobbies. I also read a lot and listen to books on tape/podcasts and try...

1. What do you do? I'm a pharmacist- been practicing about 5 years. I have worked in hospital (while in school), retail, and for an insurance company. 2. Is your job your passion? Rate your...

Congrats on the self-discovery! I too previously identified as INTP and always test as INTP when taking those online tests; it seems this is common for ENTPs. I like to mix and match and still...'
