Analysts ENTP

Smart and curious thinkers who cannot resist an intellectual challenge.

'Probably should've added in ENTP-specific things in that last post. Things to keep in mind, primarily when out in social situations (bars, parties, whatever events): * Our Ne Ti allows us to be...

I could ramble on about pick up/dating for days, but if we're singling out flirting alone: Tease, tease, tease. I can't stress this enough. It's always on. Witty bantor and playful teasing is...

Damn, wish I was active when this was going on lol Self aggrandizing smirk collage in 3.. 2.. 1.. 199898

Catchy words and phrases, all the time. Even my ESTP buddy, who always seems to be on top of everything catchy and new, still steals my shit. First it was annoying, then flattering, now it's just...

Like the religion thing. You feel a need to get settled on a religious decision. Where as an ENTP doesn't feel that need, it just kind of happens or doesn't. I'm agnostic. Most religions sound...

Nailed it. Technically more P-ness isn't possible, that's not how your brain works. You're always going to have that need to have certain things worked out; decisions, plans, and opinions settled...

In the case you listed: Truth. Without question. Her response to it isn't your fault, you did the right thing. She should know that. Her response is quite surprising, for the record. SFJ's are...

I suppose I can actually answer the original question, considering I jumped in on this post lol My greatest fears (in no order): 1) Losing my independence *coughFREEDOMcough* lol ...being in...

monemi Fair enough, I'll agree with you there. Altho I experience the same fear of freedom that you're talking about. But I'm a Type 7 with a strangely prevalent Se, according to Cog Func tests,...

monemi I wasn't denying that SP's need freedom. I'm well aware of my Temperaments, and Se, I don't need a course in it. There's no argument there, you are correct. What I was defending was...

UPDATE: So..... I mightttt have fudged this one up a bit. Did that whole I'm gonna over-analyze the whole thing, and start doing mini-tests to see if I can illicit an emotional response thing....

Yeah, the freedom thing isn't SP specific lol Ne basically requires an unlimited pool of options at all times. If there was to be any kind of distinction there, it would mayyyybe be: Se desires...

Dude. This. I'm about to turn 28, and I'm in that same place. Basically the same story, except I went to college for 6 years, changed majors 4 times, and ended up dropping out. Been working dead...

One of my best friends is an ESTP, and we're incredibly alike (that's what everyone says, and we're both Type 7's). But there's significant differences in the way we think. A couple things I can come...

Perhaps not, but I made a post that included this self-critical state awhile back (here), and an overwhelming amount of ENTP's identified with it. But hey, we're not all entirely identical.

Gender: Male Hair Color: Dark brown Hair Style: Med/long, shaggy (my avatar needs updated lol) Eye Shape: Idk... naturally slightly wider/bigger than average, but I squint a lot. Really...

Fixed the video lol

I was talking MBTI with one of my jam buddies, and got to talking about how we have moments of heavy self-critiquing (or sometimes straight up self bashing): JB: So it can just happen for no...

I take a significant interest in potential mistypes. Plus I saw the LONG exchange in the ENTP forum, didn't agree with how either side handled it. Figured you could use something a bit more...

Not sure if this'll help, but here's an interesting post by someone who was also struggling with a possible mistype between INFJ/INTJ/INTP. They ask about Ni-Ti loops, weak Fe vs strong Ti in an...

Also (I know I know, another post lol) I wanted to point out that there is A LOT to personality typology. Many people stumble upon MBTI, and think they've got it all figured out. Truth is, I've...

Right??? lol

On a side note: as an NT temperament myself, I want to point out that, while most of the time I have a cool and calm demeanor, I still have plenty of moments feeling strongly and deeply as well. And...

I've always found it far easier (and much more accurate) to determine your temperament first, and then chunk down from there. So we're working with: SP SJ NF NT Now I know you're not an SP,...

I don't have any specific examples off hand, but anybody that doesn't know me very well would def think I was an ESTP. My Ne seems to primarily manifest itself in clever one-liners and off-the-wall...

Thanks for the responses. I'll just give it some time, be patient. Push the boundaries here and there, cause that's what I do lol I DO have experience with Fi. One of my good friends is a...

...from everything I've been reading, I think I'm just over-thinking it. I think I'm just not used to girls that are so reserved with their emotions, and are so hesitant to convey what they want. ...

So I've been kinda seeing this ISFP girl for 3-ish weeks, and I'm having a hard time gauging how she feels about me. She's only been single for a month and a half, got out of a multi-year...

I'm 27, and I still haven't quite gotten there. Or at least it would take somebody REALLY amazing to get me there, but that's been a pretty rare occurrence (maybe twice?). As far as growing up...

A few of you have got the right idea. It's not the asshole per se, but the combination of traits that they tend to have. A combination of being confident, assertive, dominant, etc, with an air of...

I'll be honest, I didn't read all the responses (sorry, latter-half posters). So what I'm about to say may have already been reflected on earlier, but... The problem is, we live in a world...

The Enneagram type probably has alot to do with how various ENTP's and ESTP's will be around each other, I'd assume. Me and my buddy are both type 7's, so it blends together quite smoothly. When we...

Yes. One of my best friends is an ESTP. Seems like whenever we hang out, his extremely dominant Se seems to focus my Ne on crazy ideas and off-the-wall humor... it's a little more in the moment,...

Look closely. The three types you listed? All have fairly significant core differences. They're not only different types, but each one is a different temperament. ESFJ - SJ ENFJ - NF ESFP - SP...

Alright, so... I'm not one to ask for advice when it comes to women. I've always been really good at getting the girl, it's never really been an issue for me. Good at reading people, good at...

I want to answer this correctly, and I'm having a hard time coming up with the right situation... I would say when I'm around certain arrogant/stubborn SJ types, but that just results in typical...

Oh, and NT's as parents? Tend to guide their children towards self-sufficient living, even at an early age. We won't tell you how it's done, we'll teach you how to do creative problem solving to...

To the OP: I couldn't agree more, it was the same with me. My mom's an ESTJ, strangely enough, and raised me solo (my dad's an ESTP, and was a bit more excited about the idea of being a dad, than...

I don't personally know any other ENTPs either. Altho truth is, I'm not sure I'd know another if I met one, at least not right off the bat... Case in point: If you ever met me at some social...

One of my best buddies is an ESTP, and we get along great. In social/party mode, we're almost a mirror image of each other, you can barely even tell the difference (primarily cause my Ne gets...

Technology IS moving too fast... ...for my paycheck to keep up with.

6' and 160lbs, give or take 5lbs That said, most people don't believe me, cause I look about 20lbs lighter lol. Must be the beer-ponch I keep sucking in so I can still look good in v-neck...

Haha that's awesome. I keep thinking this thread is going to die, but somebody ends up coming across it, and bringing it back lol. I'm not sure what the requirements for it are, but I'm almost...

I feel like the odd man out when I say this, but honestly, most of my friends are SP's (primarily of the extraverted flavor). They keep me active and involved with the social scene, and I can always...

If you're talking about the mildly ambiguous grey area of flirting, that normally consists of teasing, playful hitting (or full on play-fighting), and casual touches that last just a littleeeee...

While it's not normally a problem, I'll admit that, if I'm not getting that this guy's fucking awesome, I love when he's around vibe from people, it can mildly affect my mood. Admiration is a...

Investment Theory. Short of the long: the initial investment (their time/energy) that you're asking them to make is WAY too big. You have to garnish their interest in baby steps, especially when...

I fell in love once, with my last girlfriend. That relationship ended almost 2 years ago, and I haven't been quite the same since. Still generally the same, but when it comes to dating, I'm far more...

Most responses summed up the greatest ENTP fear: lack of freedom of choice. Me personally? Tack on: 1) Rejection, in a social format. 2) Heights (more specifically, on what I perceive to be an...

Generally I put full faith in people when I first meet them, unless I'm getting a sketchy vibe from them. As I get to know people, I (subconsciously) quickly form a baseline for them; the way they...'
