I'm an INFJ and my best friend is an ENTP. I always admired how he is able to walk through life and express himself so freely without really caring what other people think of him. It's like a super power I wish I had. I remember when we first met. We were in college and I was sitting at a table with him and 4 other people and one of them said a joke and everybody laughed. I thought it was funny, but I kinda just smiled and looked down at the desk in front of me. The guy who told the joke pointed at me and said "You need to lighten up and laugh more!" The table went quiet and before I could respond, the ENTP said "Nah, he thought it was funny, he's just a laugh on the inside kind of person!" I was floored! This guy (having only known me for a couple days) was able to come up with such an articulate and dead on truth about who I was. He's one of the only people who I feel really got me.

[@QErgane]

Yeah, I tend to understand those around me on a profound level. It makes others either comfortable or "found out".

[@patricianguyen7012]

[INFJ] I had an awkward interaction with an ENTP once in uni. He shouted, "Why would you say that?!!" when I was asking him silly questions to break the ice. Looking back, I don't think he was really as offended as I thought he was, but his tone shocked me so much that I ended up leaving the room soon after

[@rouky123456]

Usually Extroverted and Introverted are making a good duo. I'm ENTP and most of my close friends are introverted. They are so good at balancing my energy and help me to stay on track hahahahaha You have your own super powers trust me !!! It's not because it's not loud that it's not there ^_^

[@Raage.]

@@QErgane After that Most people tend to go away.

[@revanj3038]

My bestfriend is an INTJ. In nature, ENTP's partner is either INFJ or INTJ. She is the only one who understands me and fun to get into a debate and never take it personally. I even had a thought of dating her lol. Yeah, i'm a girl and she's a girl. But she's straight so i just close my heart for love until i find an INFJ or INTJ guy. We love each other anyways.

[@rebecam.8397]

[@Phia999]

Ah the accuracy

[@zachriley9707]

as an entp, I'm wondering if anyone else feels that they make significant attempts to connect with people and understand their views, but something is separating me as if the people I connect with don't see the whole picture. I may understand or even agree with others views, but I am not able to connect with others by others not seeing a range of perspectives. anyone else in the same boat or something similar?

[@italiana7308]

+Zach Riley YES! :/

[@zachriley9707]

+islamo mahran yeah because we can argue all sides of an idea

[@NicolasGanea]

+Zach Riley I get where you are coming from that's us thinking in the future seeing the big picture where that when we start quizzing or testing them to see if they know what they are talking. Majority the time they don't... One example I Play you should try is getting a bottle, or something everyone knows. It's heaps of fun! Like example: A soda drink asking them what do you see in this bottle major will say perhaps it's a sprite drink ok? I don't see your point. They have one view one way. As you already know. these kind of people are all about following the rules, and that's all they can believe what we are looking for answers about this bottle isit's 12floz when you cut it's a scope, breaks down in 18 to 20 years, can be used as a candy funnel list goes on. which brings me to this What I have found to explain to those kinds of people is that you have to show all the different types of learning. Within that, you can lavage the gaps you might be missing. Mostly likely this you coming up with ideas, Or perhaps thinking critically of the future of something that you see that will not work when scaling. I find that you don't explain to them if you know that it might take some time to explain, and you have a short amount of time I'll go around that and just show them the results and then they oh wow that's great idea blah blah... Remember they are not stupid... they don't see big picture because they are in the moment kind of thinkers and most likely they stress out easy too.

[@NicolasGanea]

+islamo mahran Totally!

[@NicolasGanea]

***** I hear that all the time... people will say your cocky or undermining. It's just because what they said doesn't make sense. Then our thought process starts happening explaining why that doesn't make sense.

[@buzzyfalls]

Emotional connections are important to ENTP’s. We are just intellectually honest and if we think you can’t or are unwilling to match our passion and appreciate us we cut and run.

[@popitzikaliou7]

[@chazzy8356]

I literally thought I had no emotions for a long time like I didn't care about anything, until the day I saw my love of my life make out with my best friend in front of me and I broke out crying after I had to walk this girl home

[@dmitribalitsky6163]

I did as well, lmao

[@stewmacgregor3617]

As an ENTP i need to feel instant chemistry in all elements to be able to connect with someone on an emotional level. If anything is out of sync I instantly disregard them as relationship material. As you can imagine, it's hard to get past the first meeting with most people haha. Thus leaving me quite lonely but also on a path to my own self love. I have had one long term relationship and I sometimes doubt if there's someone else out there for me..

[@Peyto23]

stew macgregor dude same. I often find my self cherry picking, which is good; but when in between cherrypicked relationships I find myself starting relationships that are probably not going to work out. These in between relationships are a way of exploring. Focus on finding yourself my dude and one will walk into your life, you just have to be aware of your surroundings.

[@Hydrocarbon7]

[@sethnix7111]

As an ENTP, I want total and sometimes obssesive, though I understand that can be unhealthy and creepy, relationship. Like Me, Her, and no one else. The sparks of two souls burning into one another, creating a flaming hot ember that never burns out. And when I find myself in a relationship where I'm not recieving the exact amount of attention I give, I will quickly begin a preparation stage where IF I decide that my partner won't live up to expectation I can cut them out of my life without remorse lol

[@antoniajdodge]

[@sethnix7111]

That is so fucking true dude lol. I've realized this, but I crave for others to understand and though they may come close, they will never truly get it. Only ENTP's can understand each other's visions because most of us, if not all of us to some extent, share the deep yearning to learn and absorb all knowledge, until it bores us anyway lol

[@user-im9ed5wz5x]

@@jewelyJewels hello, human. it all depends on your perspective. i, as a female entp, found this rather amusing and not to be taken as too seriously. we mostly have the tendency to be somewhat dramatic and we enjoy a sense of humor. everyone (in their own unique way) is somewhat special because we all contribute to world, whether positive or negative. just because you don't view this as other entp's might, doesn't particularly mean that we can't have fun. not everyone will appreciate this sense of humor, but it's okay. we're all just having fun. ;)

[@hollowandfaceless8993]

As an ENTP, I've come to find myself either teaching someone, or toying with someone's emotions. I manipulate people into good or positive moods. Any idiot can make someone upset. It's more fun and challenging to convince someone, that they are far greater than they ever imagined. ...I told my teacher I'd continue using run-on sentences, since I can't help it if the english language restricts my flow of thoughts🤪 😂🤣

[@barbarajloriordan2697]

When I discovered that I was ENTP, I felt joy and relief because everything fell into place. I love what you say about “button pushing” as a method for our exploring and learning. What you say about being accurate (TE) also makes sense. I am probably 40 years older than you are, so I have had opportunities to go through a lot of stages. What has helped me the most is to explore my FI. I developed a very method for this that has proved rewarding to me. I think that “trickster” is a misnomer for the 7th function. I believe that the FI is the real, less well discovered “hero” and “savior” in the house. The FI will trick you until you are willing to listen to it. Once you are willing to listen, it becomes a gateway to and from the Higher Self.

I completely abuse my self worth on others and the attention/affection I get.

As an ENTP I’m very aware of others emotions, and I can be a very sympathetic person. I’m not sure I have much capacity for empathy however. If someone is crying I’ll feel bad for them but it wouldn’t make me cry for example. My favourite ENTP description: “someone who enjoys life without being terribly attached to it”

[@DaveE99]

The important thing is having a decent or improving way to interact with peoples emotions. crucial conversations, ifs, etc can be used with people (ifs dosent have to be done with names but the concepts apply)

I can see it but it's pretty confusing to me and I'm not sure what to do about it. He's been hurt by past relationships before and I think it is what's holding him back but I don't know what to do. (Edit for typo)

[@MylesKillis]

You are correctly reading our true emotion but we rarely make decisions based on that emotion. So you can't use that to read or predict our actions and intentions accurately.

I am passionate about my opinions too and that gets me in trouble sometimes. Once someone gets me started I don't stop. Like when people say not to talk about it, I'm gonna talk about it. If somethings bugging me I'll flat out say it. Idk does an entp need to be with another entp to make a relationship work?

[@soulslicepizza6950]

I was raised being told I was stupid and social awkward. As a child I really wanted to learn to read, but could't. I really wanted to pass my spanish, chemerisy, and math courses but i couldn't. I tried my best and had tutors but it wouldn't work. They were trying to teach my by memorization, and I can't memorize anything. I have to learn by conceptual based learning. In order to pass middle school my spanish teacher gave me the answers to the test because she knew how hard I tried. To pass community college I had to cheat on my math final, to pass college I postpone one of my finals by over a year, when I got a D on it I should have had a total passing grade but because the test was pushed back so far, he lost all my previous grades and just gave me a B for the whole corse. I graduated with honors. When I was in HS and college I would hide in the bathroom during parties because of my anxiety. Now when I feel insecure i just look at the facts of what I have achieved in my life, and I feel slightly better.

I really liked this, it was a world of recognition and it really annoys me that, with 92K views, in the 9 years since hardly any entp content talks about these traits we also have. Also, I like the title explorer (of both ideas and the physical world) much better then the debater. Curiosity rules my world, and the term explorer encapsulates that much better.

Antonia, how do you grapple with your "masculine" personality type while going through life as a woman? I ask because I am also an entp female and have found many fellow entp women feel as though it's easier to befriend men as well as having a desire to be an enfp instead for the sake of conforming to social norms.

[@Personalityhacker]

I know this is a year old (at least), so my apologies for the late reply. I recommend a the book called Goddesses in Everywoman by Jean Shinoda Bolen. Within she discusses archetypes that have existed in our collective unconscious for thousands of years, as evidenced by the pantheon of goddesses in Greek mythology. She mentions Artemis and Athena as independent, strategic, competitive and targeted women archetypes (Artemis the competitor, Athena the strategist). Unlike most analysts, who have a tendency to qualify these characteristics as part of our masculine animus, she points to these goddess archetypes as being wholly feminine and NOT simply a masculine animus. I found it really cathartic. And then I read Gods in Everyman, and found my true masculine animus archetype (Hermes), who isn't really the picture of what we normally consider definitively masculine, either. Pick up a copy of each if you get a chance. It's good for the feminine (and masculine) soul. -A- p.s. Weirdly enough, my primary goddess archetype was neither Artemis nor Athena, but Aphrodite. But knowing my inner Artemis wasn't my masculine animus somehow helped me rest into my inner Aphrodite. All very counterintuitive but super cool stuff.

[@JosephineMcMullen]

Joel, as a fellow ENFP, I'm curious as to whether you have experienced this, too: Sometimes when I interact with ENTPs it is kind of uncomfortable for me This isn't because I don't click with them. I think it has more to do with the juxtaposition of their Ti (accuracy process) and my Fi (authenticity process). I've always thought that because ENTPs and ENFPs both lead with Ne (exploration process) that the differences between our auxiliary processes (Ti vs. Fi) feel more profound for both types. Said another way, while it is true that when I talk to an ENTP I have this spooky simpatico Ne thing going on, my Fi keeps wanting the ENTP to "act authentically" and eventually I get annoyed when I can't connect with the ENTP on this level. Does this make any sense?

[@joelmarkwitt]

Yes! Makes perfect sense. It's like everything is clicking and then.... Wait what happened?? Also - I've found myself a little intimidated at times. ENTPs can be very good at stating their opinions and perspectives with great accuracy. Then I try and it feels like my perspective is a "jumbled mess." Sometimes I just feel "right" about something and I can't give you a clear, concise and accurate statement. So I can feel a little at a disadvantage or silly for having a position on something that I can't reason out for someone else. Then I remember at how good I am at helping others replicate emotions and I love having that skill. So I guess it's a yin-yang.

[@shawankumar5020]

I am an ENTP and yes, we or at least I don't connect with most people. and its mostly because we want a certain level of anxiety in our life. unconsciously, our ideal environment is one where we can be quirky. and this may bother some people I guess. we do think about authenticity as well though, a bit too much if you ask me! entps have a grander picture in mind at all times!

Seems like opposing functions (Fe/Ti, Ne/Si etc.) work in tandem with each other in general.. by means over ends in their respective motives. Like a "mirrored effect" of some sort, or the same shoe size with a completely different brand.

[@antoniajdodge]

I completely agree. I call mirror functions "polarities," and I believe a LOT of untapped wisdom is held within an understanding of the polarities.

[@MrPaintfull]

So glad I found this page I'm not alone and crazy..

[@dantemiller5587]

I am a intp and I just met a emtp and she is the only one I’ve ever been drawn to.

[@Raymond7904]

Interesting. I took several tests and I noticed that when I take them at work, I get ENTP, at home INTP. I teach, so in that profession I must share my ideas and thoughts to everyone no matter who they are. At home though, I like to organize my thoughts and I don't generally like guests to stay more than 15 minutes. I feel like being able to switch between the two types keeps the other healthy and prepared.

[@renaissancemedia4208]

Because as an ENTP we gather info externally but process that info internally. When I get home I prefer my space quiet and typically don't welcome social interaction

[@habibmkhan]

Being in an enfp-entp relationship, this is helpful

[@xur1317]

I’m a very big ENTP I’m 65% extroverted 85% intuitive 78% thinking and 86% perceiving, what could my possible weaknesses be, (I have an idea but I want an outside perspective )

[@axosrain4825]

I honestly am not sure about being an ENTP. I took the 16 personality test and got ENFP. Oi....I'm so confused. Maybe I'll take it again.

[@quet5488]

Just wanted to thank you for your videos :D

This was amazing. Thank you both.

Oh shit social class based on intelligence. Well said! Once we realize it then we can easily dismount it!

Her Fe keeps reaching out to her husband to see i she is being accurate, AT LEAST in his perception....

To add some clarity, I fucking HATE being on camera. At least, I did when we shot these. I've become far more philosophical about the whole thing, but yeah. He became a ballast for me while I made peace with all the Fe tertiary "oh, shit I'm opening myself up for the worst forms of feedback from the world" moments. I'm all zen about it now, tho. -A-

[@Sarah_Lin]

Good stuff. Thanks for these videos!

[@bjarbj944]

I find ENTPs very difficult to get along with (as an INTJ). They are: * Constantly disagreeing, which is very tiring. * Dismissive, stubborn and not open-minded about exploring ideas. * Overestimate their ability and knowledge, seem to think they have more credibility than anyone else. * Missing the point- seems to always be having a different conversation than everyone else in the room is having. * Gets bored or offended and *completely* shuts down. *Surprisingly easy to offend, considering their propensity to argue over everything. (You cannot be straight with them and yet you are forced to debate, always ending in disaster).

[@Chatoyancify]

Sounds like a highly underdeveloped ENTP. A healthy, mature version of any type is a gem.

[@sn10s]

Just sounds like an arrogant narcissistic person😅 very unlike-ENTP description

[@healingchasecounselling]

I am an ENFJ who has tested as an ENTP and ENFP I can relate a bit to enfp but entp is tricky for me.. I definitely relate with fe not fi and my ni is quite singular. I prefer narrowing things down from a sea of possibilities and I reserve those possibilities for future expansions, explorations and narrow down. How is it that I am have tested as an ENTP what am I am missing cognitive function wise? I'm defo rubbish at si, I ignore it lol 😆

[@toast7632]

Greetings INFP here, may be dreaming but I think that INFPs would be perfect in conjunction with ENTPs

[@NotTodaySatan557]

not in my situation! that's what brought me here lol

[@caLLLendar]

+ApocalypseToast "Mutual business or other activity is complicated, because Illusionary partners do not understand the reasons and motives of each other's actions. Whatever one partner tries to achieve usually appears insufficient and worthless to the other. Because partners expect different kinds of activity from each other, they become negative and may criticise each other's intentions and objectives. For an observer, this misunderstanding between partners can appear to be humorous. "

[@Glenduhhhh]

Infp and ENTP is one of the most confusing relationships I’ve ever been in. I find that I love diplomats but at the end of the day I have trouble really meshing with the introverted diplomats because we can’t find anything to do together and they get sick of my chatting.

[@maxlarsen]

Any ENTP here who has feelings tha a spiritual life exists? Cuz i was against all that untill i experienced alot of stuff,so im curious if it might be only me??

[@lindaadamson5113]

ENTP female here. I do, very much so. Makes sense. www.amandalinettemeder.com/blog/2015/1/4/9-signs-you-are-claircognizant

[@meep7013]

ENTP male here and I too began a spiritual journey because if you make the connection between what the Bible says and what the world has to show you than it all makes sense, credible.

[@llkkaakthis]

i agree [why do you wanna know my name ] and I too have had the same question [Max] .I have found the bible to be true .and now everything makes so much sense

[@oakinwol]

ENTP Christians FTW! The bible is a fascinating book of truth. Really incredible. And it gives ENTPs the objective springboard for spiritual thinking that we need. The Bible as a guardrail helps focus extraverted intuition into truth and keeps it from wandering down into possibilities that are ultimately wrong but we wouldn't know until we've "explored" it. I love it so much

[@poornnyay4618]

I’m Had experiences in 2015 and that transformed me .. I am ENTP by the test but would argue I could be mix of more this theory still has miles to go ...

[@Niveous23]

I don't know what I hate more about being ENTP, the self hatred I have for almost never being able to get along with others on o deeper level. Or others that claim to 'hate conflict', and spend their lives cutting other people down in ways that are reprehensible and disgusting....for ideas. Because people marry their ideas...like some stupid thought they nurture has more value than the humans around them.

[@KathRob1994]

Hello Joel. I'm just starting to learn about the personality types, and I'm not 100% sure if I'm ENTP or INTP, and I was hoping I could get you're opinion. I really love to get out and try new thing's, and be spontanious, and I absolutely want to be more social, but I am am quite shy sometimes in social situation's and often way to 'up in my head'. I often find myself deep in thought analyzing everything, which makes my wonder if I'm an I. Although I don't consider myself to be independent, as I love spending time with people, making friend's and being social. I do enjoy spending time on my own maybe 1 quarter of the time. It's almost as if my body respond's like an INTP in social situation's sometimes by becoming tense and self conscious, but my mind desires to be 'the center of attention' and have a great social life! I'm confused !

[@joelmarkwitt]

Thanks for the question. It can be tough to figure out your type... Especially if you are young and still figuring out so much about yourself in general. We have some free resources over on our website that may help. I would suggest that you listen to this podcast: www.personalityhacker.com/podcast-episode-0050-how-to-figure-out-your-personality And read this article: www.personalityhacker.com/when-you-almost-know-your-personality-type/ Then let me know what you think. Have you taken an online or written test?

[@KathRob1994]

Joel Mark Witt I'm pretty positive now that I'm an ENTP! You probably thot I was super young but I'm actually 21. I have so many many characteristics of the entp that it's actually hilarious! (: tks for the help!

[@joelmarkwitt]

[@linkelyes]

How can we train our Ti ?

[@odysseusPM74]

Can it be possible to be between ENTP and ENFP? I've studied this for years and I can type people within seconds. However, when it comes to myself, I am in between these 2 types.

same here... I'm like is I'm eyween Entp enfp

[@yousufnimer480]

i have problems with sincerity

[@johnvanegmond1812]

Keep looking. Will Rogers said he never met a man he didn't like. First time I heard that I figured he hadn't met a lot of the people I knew. But I kept thinking about that quote and the "how" of it. For me the rise to that point happened at the same time as I was able to love everybody. Now when ever I meet or "remeet" someone, I immediately see something about them I like. I do live the motto "Love everybody, but don't let crazy people run your life." And even if I see something I like about them, and love is a given, I do still see them as an imperfect mortal. Point of this ramble? I can interact with a person who is a total what ever(insert undesirable trait) and still see and sincerely focus on something that I feel is commendable. Good luck. Peace.

Sincerity starts with yourself

[@billbirkett7166]

The dirty secret of the ENTP is that, in spite of all of their Ti flailings and pontifications and attempts to imitate ENTJ movers and shakers, ENTP's have the same level of practical competence of an INFP. Except instead of a warm heart, they have hearts of tin.

[@DaveE99]

[@TheEconomicElder]

I think people define them selfs on there results of the test rather than there actual personalty. Its easy to see someones elces personalty (that have taken the test) and to have a vague idea as what they will come out as. Try doing it with someone that has no idea about it and you will have a hard time. We have become a facade and it only takes a little self consciousness to realize we are more subtle and multifaceted than that.

[@caLLLendar]

+KZbin Lotto I think you are overlooking HOW the results are calculated. People DESCRIBE THEMSELVES to the test, and therefore, it is their actual personality (more or less). Another way to validate the results is to have someone who is close to the person do the test. A strong ENTP doesn't wake up one morning as an ISFJ. Therefore, the behavior pattern is generally predictable (and can be used as a tool).

[@TheEconomicElder]

+Drew Brown One of us! one of us! There is a strong desire to be part of a group. A group where certain behaviors are encouraged and others dismissed. There is no better cult than a personality cult. Its the embodiment of cultism. Take a test and we will tell you who you are and how you act. We will also tell you what wrong with your life and how to change it. Iv read all the different personalty types and could relate to all of them, some more than others but only with value judgments (something which is learned). p.s Half the people that take the test more than once come out as something different the next time. Thats because alot of people values change as they get older.

[@Asti_st]

what is joel's mbti type? I'm an entp and dating istj, could u make a compatibility series?

Be straightforward and don't try to manipulate things because ENTPs have Fe too and Ti can sense when people are lying/ have an agenda

[@Blondiee777]

Take them for coffee, listen properly, have an open mind and be up for adventure 😉

[@nevernormal5811]

Truth is often antithetic to peace in the human realm. People often don't want to hear truth, it can unravel the worlds we've woven for ourselves. For this reason, I agree that one must be tactful or even abstinent in their pursuit of truth. However, I disagree that all people are created equal, this is naive. ENTP are fallible like everyone else, they can believe they advocate the truth when they in fact do not. ENTP's would do well to focus on introspection rather than accuracy. If we focus on accuracy, we will find not that people are equal, but that they are not. Perhaps a surprising side note: I take human rights very seriously, it's one of my highest passions (in spite of assumptions one might draw in reading this comment).

[@tigerfist1126]

Everyone looks at having human rights differently . What is good for one person may not be good for another person. I would like to look at having human right on both sides.

Im that person that sends the food back if its awful or wrong. I will always stand up for what I believe in even though im standing alone. I don't owe anyone anything. No one was brought here to please anyone but themselves. I have a new friend at work....a gay INFJ who says I inspire him to be braver. He inspires me to actually get my job done 😂 Love me a good INFJ. Rock on mo fo's, have no fear. 🤘

[@dimar4150]

I hate the lack of humility

[@antoniajdodge]

We get a lot of social pressure to act humble in order to make others feel better. But from my perspective the purpose of humility is to ensure we don't start thinking our value is higher than others in order to exploit them. In this context we're talking about the strengths an ENTP tends to bring to the table. We did the same for the other 15 types, meaning we focused on the positives for theoretically every person on the planet (if one takes the MB system seriously). So, contextually, this isn't an exploitative situation. Another way to look at it is: When addressing strengths/weaknesses, think in terms of 'modesty' instead of 'humility'. Modesty is acknowledging your limitations. That means you get to own when you're good at something, but you also have to own where/how you suck royally. Since there's no pressure to be something you're not you're able to take an honest assessment of where to place you're resources and therefore provide higher value to others. We're pretty useless if can't capitalize on our talents with skill development. You may hate a lack of humility, but I hate the false humility we're socialized into integrating. It's an idea that needs to die. -A-

[@slingshot2004]

Yeah, often times I feel as if I am superior to other commenors, but I try hard to put myself in check...

[@MatheusAugustos]

Shit that's true, humbleness is something that I can only stress externally, internally its pretty tough to tell what I'm feeling when i think about it. The only thing that can make me feel this way is when i think about the universe and its magnitude. I think thats my only true sense of humility

[@MatheusAugustos]

@@antoniajdodge I loved the way you expressed yourself, surely opened my mind, And I completely agree that exists a sort of fake feeling of humbleness that people externalize to prove to other that they're good people.
