Analysts ENTP

Smart and curious thinkers who cannot resist an intellectual challenge.

'Causal sex sounds fantastic!!! How do I find a cause? :-D

Do you mean beer in American or British English?

To never be first, follow the crowd.

First that comes to my mind is Lost in Translation. Any others?

Noteworthy: Right after I had voted, neither ENTP nor ISTP had had no votes yet. In fact, ISTP's are my favourite S-stype so no surprise there...

I've always been comfortable with numbers but I got an important affirmation of my skills from my current employer's test when they contemplated of hiring me a few years back. In math skills I scored...

I don't know but this question made me think: There are four manifestations of Ne and Si forming a progression from Ne---Si to Si---Ne: Ne---Si (ENxP) -Ne-Si- (INxP) -Si-Ne- (ESxJ) Si---Ne...

To be nowhere first, follow the crowd.

What's the difference? :tongue:

Ditto (to anything posted by other ENTP's before or after this article).

Technically yes but practically not -- I often eat breakfast straight from the cereal box... :tongue:

Yes to both questions. When I think, at work I walk aimlessly in the aisles with earphones on my ears, and at home I walk between living room and kitchen, stepping on the same specific floor tiles...

Been there done that [with ENFJ] :laughing: The downside is you'll be 10 years older and 50 pounds larger when you're suddenly forced to date again...

This summer I spent five days in a foreign country having dialog only within my head, and with random local people who did not know me beforehand and whom I'll never meet again. It was incredibly...

Fe is the lure. Fe+Se is the trap.

You know you're ENTP when the first step of Cooking dinner is Wash the dishes.

Asking the ENTPs about reationships is like asking the penguins about flying... :laughing:

I counted 24 varieties in the article. Is this some sort of INTP humor I just don't get?

Mind boggles... how did you know I don't travel in space but in time...? :unsure:

My friends at work wonder why I regularly park on Visitor spots. Should I tell them I'm only visiting this planet?

Very true! This is how I feel when discussing with any N-dominant person (ENxP|INxJ). It feels like telepathy but it really is just that our thought processes are resonant.

Mainly the fact that I'm an ENTP. Sorry could not resist.

It's not because I'd fear feeling bad myself, it's because I do not want others feel bad because of something I'd have said or done. When non-communication conveys(sp?) a negative message better than...

At least for me personally this could indeed be difficult to say. I suspect it's because of the Fe relatively high in the ENTP function stack => highly reluctant to disappoint others.

In my experience, generally all ExxJ's rub ENTP's the wrong way, more or less. ENTJ's are great as intellectual sparring partners (heck, one of my best friends at work is an ENTJ guy) but I'd have...

None -- we got divorced in November. If one positive thing needs to be mentioned it's that we have been (and probably will be) able to retain a friendly relationship.

I'd be hard pushed to ever marry another ENFJ again. One was quite enough for me.

Silicon Valley is not bad. You know, the chain of cities on San Francisco peninsula between San Mateo-Hayward bridge and San Jose. SF itself is also cool and laid back, as well as many other places...

Well, to get out of any ENTP friend zone, all you need to be is boring, illogical, and overly emotional... :laughing:

Statistical reasons. By being (probably) the most non-judgemental type of all we generally attract and become friends with people in all personality types, some of which aren't mutually as...

ENTP's are quick and original thinkers and communicators, and yet, I'd guess every ENTP is used to - no, tired of - being misunderstood (or understood slowly) by others. Therefore a discussion with...

My very best friends are INFJ (x2), ENFP, and INTJ. I recently divorced an ENFJ (she's nice, but she's totally incompatible with me) and I am currently, I dunno, maybe somewhat dating an IxTP. I...

We have a handful of INFJ appreciation threads already. What more do we need?

I do not quite agree. None of the criteria are exclusive to ENTP's, and a few are actually against typical ENTP traits: They live the present moment to the fullest. -- ENTP live in future Enjoy...

How!?!?!?!?!?!?

Hmmm... An ENTP, when they hear that sentence, would think oh, yes it can and just go an do it. Maybe you could somehow materialize this idea so that the things you procrastinate about, ARE the...

I believe in telekinesis. For instance: I approach a bus stop where there is a bus already waiting. I walk towards the bus stop in my normal pace thinking that I'm too far to catch it. But the bus...

<sigh> Good try, I guess (for both of us) :dry:

The poster below kills babies and eats them for breakfast. Yuck! :frustrating:

I'm mostly driving my friends nuts... :tongue:

On the second thought, there's nothing ENTP won't say if they can deliver it with sarcasm.

How's my hair?

Mirrors don't flip left-right nor up-down. Mirrors flip only front-back.

I do not test for squareness. I generate candidates, square them, and detect if the result is a potential match to a given N. The generator can eliminate large families of binary patterns...

Well... the key is, like I said, Next, express the N+ki in base (-1+i) [every gaussian integer has a unique expression in this number base] and start applying some known binary-pattern-based square...

Integer factorization is an old tough nut problem in math. Factoring a number N means finding non-trivial x and y so that N=xy . Non-trivial x and y are both integers greater than 1 (e.g. greater or...

My education is some college, and I'm an information technology professional since nearly 30 years ago. Dare I say that despite having very little formal education I have been incredible lucky in...

I think, coth I can't thwim.

How... do... you... know?!?!? :tongue:'
