'Some do, some don't. Reiterated, ENTPs are not the beast with a billion backs. I am tired of this typist and detailing conversation. Pls continue to believe however you would like. --- Re...
Extraverted in how we gather information + energy orientation, introverted in the judgment that result from gathered information. You hear whatever you hear. I've not contradicted that you have. ...
Painting with a broad stroke, no? Who are these gennnnnnerrraaaaallllll ENTPs you speak of? ENTPs aren't the borg. One ENTP can be intolerant in one way, and another can be intolerant in another, but...
Ego stroke? Otherwise, idk. Flirtatious is my default, friend, foe, love interest--not jealousy, though.
ENxP -- whimsical people with a serious side INxP -- serious people with a whimsical side
Hmm.. I wonder if we misunderstand one another. I placed no value judgment on the term manipulate, as I see it to be a purely technical/descriptive term meaning to change or apply force, but I see...
Te manage and direct objects/objective things, Fe manage and direct humans and relationships. Any Fe-dom worth their salts can manipulate/direct the emotional tone and social atmosphere to fit...
The problem with ENTP--well, all Ne-doms tbh, and Ne-dom men especially--is that we can confuse Ne-excitement with romantic fascination/feelings. Ne gets excited by new things, unknown information,...
Well, our secondary functions are that of ESFJs, which is equally capable of being organized and neat and responsible, with warmth and ability not just to develop, but manage and direct...
Yep~ Original test was created 1943, and the 2nd version (MMPI-2) updated in 1989 but is not a complete overhaul. This marker measures how closely you conform to masculine/feminine stereotypes......
My suggestions is for @forks alone because he is here presenting his side of the story and requesting solutions. His wife is an adult and fully capable of having her own thoughts and making her own...
If you like someone and want to see if there's more there, you have to get into a certain mental state. You got to gather memories of all the good things they have said about you and build an...
Hmm... perhaps you can wait it out, but that takes a dang long time~ Someone has to give. Either you or he needs to show an indication of what's up, and since you're asking... well then it will...
When dealing with Fe-users it's important to remember they probably don't feel as emotional as they seem or express. (Obvs. not to say Fe-dom/-aux aren't emotional people.) This is something Fi-users...
Mine was emotion suppression as defense mechanism plus teenager bouts of depression. Both are now resolved. Beyond that, nothing that would reach clinical diagnosis. Regarding MMPI-2, I scored...
;) I'm sure you are a warm and appreciative person in general~ Re feeling special, I meant less about overt behavior and more a lack in individualized, customized attention. If So is to see...
Below is purely about energy/vibe and not descriptions for actual people, who are more complex than just their instinct stacks. --- Initially, Sp/So comes across as bland, proper, and...
My experience would be of INFJ men, which is a more difficult pairing than the other way around, what with gender expectations, etc. Known four, dated 2. Both ultimately failed due to mismatch of...
You are wishful thinking ;) No matter how tough /cool /self sufficient outwardly, they are Fe-aux and more sensitive in general and require shows of sincere emotions, especially in romantic...
I completely agree with this sentiment. Over-categorization loses meaning very rapidly. My conclusion though, is tritype has validity the way all enneagram has validity--it is a system that...
Sounds like he's a caring person with good Fe who reaches out to friends who are suffering, with a side dish of trying to keep the sparks lit. Respond if you like him and want the sparks lit.
Well hey, enneagram cousin :) What's your tritype and what is its description? Do you agree with it and why do you act this way? 9w1-5w4-3 sx/sp. I've realized recently that while the e3 is...
Nice interaction video OP~ Idk if I get SX-dom vibes from you though. Btw, I disagree that ENTP are uniformly social extroverts, Drunken Parrot. You're SO-7 and enjoy humans for all the potential...
Mm. EXTP can and do have feelings for people. You are correct though that it happens at a very slow pace. I've noticed that I cannot have a feeling about someone until I've absorbed enough...
Idk about others, but I am stylish and noticeable ;) and like it that way. Otherwise, though, ENTP can appear differently depending on the audience. I've been mistaken for a social...
Many female ENTP seem to love male INTJ. I'm not sure how that would transpose onto two women though ;) but I'll give it a go. Potential pitfalls: Te clashing with Fe -- INTJ can feel harsh and...
This is really sweet. You sound like the best grandfather :)
This sounds incredibly painful and I am sorry that you are caught up in it. Are you SX-9? The intensity of how you've twisted yourself inside out to understand and accommodate him, this mental...
There's no such thing as wasted time. Life is in the living, etc. You've already learned what ENTJ looks like up close, and that you can find them yummy. Self knowledge is good. ENTJ knowledge is...
She sounds bat shit, and he sounds like he has poor boundaries. If I suspected someone was secretly reading my emails, I'd be seriously questioning (A) what this says about my trust in the person I'm...
Well, ENTJ stereotype is almost archetypal masculinity: executive/authoritarian power, ambition, achievement, and a teddy bear to people they deem worthy. Your basic corporate bodice-ripper romance...
I pretty much exclusively date F men ;) preferably NF. --Although, heads up, I'm E9 and pretty laid-back, which is not the norm for ENTPs. My impression of INFJ men have been--hidden sly...
Wow.. I am at a loss to understand all the this mention for ENTP love of debating. Perhaps it's a young-ENTP thing. Sounds fun in spurts, but as part of daily life with all its quotidian...
ISFP. Not sure why Ti would even come up--she had none. Ti creates a distance between one's feelings and one's thoughts. Ti-dom and -aux have difficulty feeling their feelings, let alone be able...
Essentially the only kind of men I'm romantically attracted to. I'm NT enough for me, myself, and a town of clowns. Someone's gotta bring the feelies.
Yes, it was a description of Sx if not mastered and controlled. And I would generally agree that every Enneagram type and instinct variations have its own mix of positive and negative attributes. ...
In Enneagram, being Sx-dom is to have great anxiety in the area of intensity/sexuality/eros/mate seeking. This results in too much focus on and over-practice of SX skills and desires --> to...
I have a couple of ENTP friends, in all different flavors of the enneagram and immensely different from one another. Their closeness to me, understanding of me, has little to do with our similar...
The instincts do not need to be developed; we always have all of them. The problem is, our ego has a habit of focusing most of its conscious attention on our primary instincts -- because we've packed...
There is a dark side to all of our unbalanced dominant instincts. We pack more things into it than the instinct warrants. By itself, SX is liquid fire that seeps into our hearts and soul, that...
My longest-time best friend is ENTJ. She's a tyrant when actively using Te--e.g. at work--but a total softie with friends or generally socializing. I find them easier to get along with than ESTJ. ...
The trick is to understand that masks aren't meant to manipulate others, but erected in respect for everyone's sense of privacy. Not everyone wants to know the real me, nor be known themselves. Most...
Not speaking for all ENTP, but I find myself often misunderstood, am deep, and on a life-long journey to find meaning and self-growth. My principles burn within like crystalline flame. I seek...
The answer is to cultivate Fe and come to appreciate the emotions inherent in human connection. People with label of ENTP tend to over-identify with intellectual /abstract thinking /communication...
Don't know how it happens, but I seem to draw them out of the woodwork. It used to puzzle me why these people seem to like me so much, when in my mind we barely interacted and didn't know each...
I believe you have answered your own question. As for all the other stuff he is doing with you, it depends on his age & functional maturity. When younger, I did not understand the vulnerability &...
I have had the same experience. It has to do with the way we think. The combination of Ne + Ti suppresses our emotional awareness in order to promote a feeling of mental clarity. We are designed to...
To die without having experienced true love, nor see my gifts realized. To be a fool, or worse, a hypocrite.
I used to tailor my words to give people a facet of what I believe in ways they can digest, and generally aimed to be inoffensive. I didn't like to lift that incendiary pot lid and face what may...
He sounds very immature. Young NTP are often terrified of true feelings -- especially their own. The way we think strips emotional information out of everything, so it becomes impossible to trust in...'
