Analysts ENTP

Smart and curious thinkers who cannot resist an intellectual challenge.

'Eh? Not really. We were just typing a politician. No political arguments were happening that I'm aware of.

Obama = ESFJ/ESE, IMO. I don't know if you're into socionics, but you're describing the whole alpha quadra here (and in particular the extroverts). Anyway, he's much, much better at Fe than an ENTP...

Uh, The Doctor. Hands down. How has no one mentioned him yet? Or, to go the opposite direction, I always like to point to Jim Halpert from The Office as a great example of what a majorly bored ENTP...

No, actually, I would expect people who make it big to generally be outliers in one way or another, kinda by definition. I disagree on both counts. I really wouldn't describe ExTPs as being...

Intelligence level /= cognitive type. Just because there are brilliant ESTPs doesn't mean there aren't moronic ESTPs. Same goes double (triple?) for ENTPs.

I do believe that was my insinuation, yes.

There's something that doesn't make sense. Let's go and poke it with a stick. Like Geonerd said. That says it all.

Who cares? He's either one of the dumbest and most vile humans on the planet or a secret genius manipulating everyone towards his mysterious ends (is it all a secret message to someone? is it...

Not like most girls? Imagine that.

No.

Yeah, that's considered ideal in Socionics. Ideal.

INFP: Best listeners out there. Can also be very thoughtful and deeply felt activists, but man they would defend Voldemort as just misunderstood because he was once bullied and they can relate....

Duuuuuddde. That's deep...:cool:

I disagree with this actually. I've always subscribed to the idea that talent (and by extension, genius) is simply a product of a lot of practice with, exposure to, and interest in the skill,...

Nah, you're among friends (aka, fellow narcissists :wink:).

I agree in terms of skill and talent. I think the more interesting question is about whether it affects style.

:laughin: Wow, that's some serious arguin' there.

Oh yes, ALL of the counter phobic six. If you watch the flashbacks to before Lily's death you can really see how she used to be really phobic.

Definitely agree it's a sp/sx movie overall (like me! only I'm not a movie...). That's part of the reason I like it so much--it has an oddly mellow energy for a movie about rock and roll. I really...

Eh, totally subjective question, but I prefer either type of NTP over the other two. (Examples are Jorge Luis Borges = INTP, Douglas Adams = ENTP). No surprise though--I'm biased towards my own. My...

Lol is Almost Famous just the definitive 7w6? Cause that's my head fix exactly, plus I tend to apply instincts in order to my tritype (so I think of it as a sp 9w8, sx 7w6, soc 3w2), which would make...

Paradise Lost is wonderful. It inspired the novel I'm working on now, which is a kind of off-kilter retelling of the Adam and Eve story. I'm also a HUGE fan of Gilgamesh (look for the David Ferry...

Yeah, I'm pretty darn proud, but I think I hide it well in everyday life (I'm a 9 so I tend not to be directly confrontational, at least unless someone really pisses me off. Or maybe not. I just...

nvm, read more.

9: The Haunting (1963) A little explanation: I couldn't find the scene that directly follows this, but basically the main character (Eleanor, the blonde in the video), is simultaneously terrified...

Um, does this thread still exist? Can it die now, pretty please?

This is possibly the prettiest thing I have ever seen.

I can identify with a fair amount of this, but I think the key issue you are describing is actually tertiary Fe (we care about and are affected by people's moods, but we are mostly clueless as to how...

Actually, funny story, I absolutely hate learning languages. I took French in high school, and while I was okay at reading and writing, trying to actually communicate anything via my vocal cords was...

Hmmm. Girlfriend is an introvert of unknown type, and no, it doesn't bother or annoy me. However, she doesn't introvert out as you put it, basically ever actually. She's more the type of introvert...

Wow. Not sure if internalized elitism, internalized ablism, or just plain self-hate? No, you are not inferior and your type is not inferior. A couple things: 1) I would take statistics about...

I don't. I find INFJs fascinating and a bit exhausting. I tend to find ISFJs adorable, but only in fiction (I don't know any personally) so who knows. I honestly think INFJs are much too dramatic,...

Almost certainly ISTJ.

YES. I am DIABOLICAL. Exactly! They're really cold and impermeable and hard to get listen to you, whatever the image they project may be.

Yes. There are crossovers and stuff, but it's mostly self-contained. It's more similar in tone to the rest of your list, but if you have the chance I would check out Buffy, because it's really worth...

Sooo...have you seen Buffy the Vampire Slayer? Cause it's pretty great, and seems to fulfill your requirements. Absolutely full of fun and camp and fight-y ness. Fun dialogue, lots of humor, and a...

I think an underlying rhythm (whether literal or not) can help direct and keep Ne from wandering too far from a task. If you think of a beat or a melody as a circle or spiral or squiggle that stays...

Exactly! I've always thought the most obvious thing about her was the Fe use. I'd be interested to discuss what makes you think ESFJ over ENFJ, since I'm not totally decided yet.

Oh, okay. Social ambiversion is possible. I find cognitive introversion/extroversion to be a more interesting distinction myself, that and function order. I do think she's a social extrovert but...

Do you mean you see equal parts Ni and Fe in her? Or do you mean she's a social ambivert?

I tend to like weird literary (god, I hate that term) books that play with language a lot. I'm also obsessed with books about neuroscience and/or linguistics. Otherwise, practically anything,...

MTBI has nothing to do with physical appearance or level of intelligence, so no, ENTP women would not tend to be bimbos OR butch. There's really no correlation between people's style and their...

But that's exactly ENFJs: she knows enough about her sister (Fe) to predict (Ni) that Lydia will behave badly in a certain situation. She makes a decision, a judgement about each of them:...

I agree with the argument Dragongirl made. I would and often do behave in exactly this way, particularly when I'm uncomfortable with the people I'm around. In fact, the way Lizzie does it it's...

More seriously, you should talk to asexual people about this. You're not weird at all, and I think you could find a lot of people in that community to talk to about this stuff (even though you may...

What makes you think Lizzie's an introvert? I don't really get that. I'm still firmly in the ENFJ camp for both the book and the BBC miniseries. (I can't comment on the Keira Knightly version, which...'
