I’m an INTP but I am more F so INXP lately. And I’m unsure if I’ve been through an XNTP phase with E or not. I’ve analyzed many people and every goes through 4 phases for each subtype in their life. And I have noticed you stay in the last phase for the rest of your life maybe loss of plasticity in the brain. So I want to know if I’ll end up in this XNTP phase or if I went through it already and didn’t realize it ?

Maybe you shouldn't spend a bunch of time telling us how bad this assessment is and a few minutes making it without the fear of silence

SO FUCKING TRUE

Ik I felt so called out

oh ya, i was like wait....oh

You know it's bad if an ENTP has run out of options! NON-BELIVER: the path stops and there is a cliff! ENTP: Well I will climb down the cliff! NON-BELIVER: There is a large lake in front of you! ENTP: Ok I will swim to the other side! NON-BELIVER: There are crocodiles ENTP: Is there a boat? NON-BELIVER: No ENTP: I will walk round! NON-BELIVER: It's a big lake? ENTP: I will go round anti-clockwise! In water sandles it will make it more of a challenge! NON-BELIVER: it's 20 miles ENTP: It could be worse it could have been 21 miles!

Broadstreetbum omg so me :D before I took a test to find out I am entp i just thought I was weird, something is wrong with me, or I was just a bad person. My mom often criticized parts of my character as „laziness“, „lack of interest“ etc but it turns out, that’s just the way I am

Definitely still get checked out. Nothing sounds strange from your description, but obviously any personality type can have a mental illness. People who are bipolar go through either hypomanic or manic sections, and the two most common markers for these are increased goal oriented behavior and decreased need for sleep. In mania you start having delusions or hallucinations, but hypomania is harder to catch, because it doesn’t require these. If you find yourself going through depression and bouts of goal oriented happier than the average person bursts, go to a therapist.

It's possible that you don't continue sudden passions is because there're not enough people congratulating you in your progress in that passion; we do have FE as a tertiary function after all. Coinciding to that, you are likely not getting enough feedback about your progress and, therefore, will rely only on yourself to determine how good or knowledgeable you are about a subject. But that brings a problem, ENTPs regularly assume that they know enough or at least know everything they want to about something and, as soon as that occurs, lose interest. The best way to deal with this is to constantly tell yourself that there is always something new to learn, there is always a new perspective you don't know about yet. Another good way of fixing this is to try and get people to criticize and complement you in the subject of the passion. Doing these things will allow you to stay fascinated and enthusiastic about anything.

it finally makes sense to me why Ill make a super complicated schedule then stick it in a drawer and never look at it again

I'll consider that book

swear I paused at 3:13 that is sooo something I would say....no one cares how you look. We have real intel prepared for the people...feels good to hear someone talk this way.

Stoicism is changing my life, Im almost a year in.. its given meaning and discipline i never had, or could find in my life

Currently sitting on my desktop Got about halfway through and i haven't looked at it since 😅

I'm at the point in my life where I still love to learn from a seasoned Professor, but I'm obsessed with research, (however rudimentary, (usually not tho) hence the inherent lack of deep knowledge of the subject, but rather the high points.......then I use my gift of the correlation of unconventional wisdom, totally significant & confoundingly perturbed that such an uncredentialed novice........I MUST overspeak the scripted pro to annoying highlight these pertinent elements, had you yourself had delved down into your own "scripted" delivery. Hence, I begin to control the discussion, I'd rather provide radical unexplored yet underpinning issues to get through to ppl, especially so I don't need to calculate the fractional amt of my time & energy was actually spent learning something new in that "progressive" lecture. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE to learn new concepts, but if "compassion to an enabling fault" is visible, I just cant STFU! some cases in point: Is anxiety or hypertension an exacerbating symptom of it's very causation, anxiety, or vice versa? *sounds plausible response. NO, WRONG each exacerbate the other, but theres no confirmation of the dynamics in that cycle yet. YET MH DRs don't GAF really!?! MH - Since when has holistic mind/body/spirit EVER been considered independently to achieve good health?! That's right! when the legal drug dealers greased enough palms. And the FDA provides approval after they have developed a "risk avoidance" policy by labeling nasty drugs with Black label warnings to "take at your own risk" that the "pusher" never mentions or checks on systemic adverse reactions to. sounds kinds criminal to me. What!? never heard of the FDA's Black Box Label seal of approval? EXACTLY!! Lastly, I'm dominating the meetings lately because I just gotta cut right to the chase over the "speak easy" coach who is too sweet & educated to relate. Me: "The urgency to fix your latest mistake is rn! You're a good person, but pls, stop with the nonsense BS right now to self-exhonerate & deflect, cuz I ain't giving that to you!! Imma provide you with the path of least resistance, the healthiest method, & provide some easy SOLUTIONS for your trajectory towards peace & happiness & to veer you from your current path towards your & ur daughters emotional destruction.......so put on your Red Hot Cape, SuperMom & handle it ASAP. This is your opportunity! Here & now! Now that I provided you all that info, research, child psychology insight, & the easiest way to help her, NOW it's on YOU, MOTHER..........and not your distraught rebellious sassy, but good daughter's so it is absolutely YOUR ACCOUNTABILITY if you fail her again, & not just your teen's attitude, so choose wisely my friend, but self-loathing & guilt are soul sucking. Solutions!!! There's just no profit in that ridiculous concept! I give a 1,000 for every one I recv. Like a lottery!! You just said the exact opposing argument that I now need to effectively render invalid. sweet Are ENTPs the only type that see options, angles, opportunities, hope, indignation & refusal to shoulder the burden or imposition forced upon you, possess creativity in strategic planning, etc? Cuz I totally annoy most egos that my BF Mouth I can't just STFU to observe the professional & compassionate "train wreck" occurring, that's actually pretty ZZZZZZZ to me simultaneously! Never had composure, decorum, and any desire for tempering of my emotions or my reflexive approach of subtle, gentle, soft & calm verbal sparring that totally depends on the infractions, offending parties, ability to overcome, etc. Then, my tongue morphs into a forked condescending weapon to alert ppl to their own radical truths that they now hate me for cuz their broken 2 ton ego was given a shocking detonator of honesty that they must ruminate over, when they were so self-assured just before it. But I NEED to dial it back now! like Mrs Beaver, or better Alice Cramden!! Instead...... Dr. & Mrs. House? LOL Searching for the greatest mystery in my life..........how to chill myself TF down in public without flinching at ppl's unkindness towards others! it's a real struggle for me. It seems that everyone has become soooo unamused by everything, after I just readjusted my vision to sunlight after seclusion & I'm a making my own party, dammit!! And worse, I retort to sideways comments like the village idiot to mitigate their professional yet irrelevant canned answer that everyone eats, that I find quite fun to do & that's to my detriment. OMG!!! AND IF THEY KEEP REPEATING THEIR LOGIC THAT I JUST BLEW UP AS INVALID..........AHHHHHHHH!!! I'll repeat them 2x each subsequent time &then remind them of what I just said five mins ago that negates that option. Like Pavlov's dogs. My tolerance for such runarounds & negligence, or even just tangential small talk will be the death of my ENTP Spirit!! NAHHHHH, not MY prob. Evasive maneuvering needs improvement. But, I go one autopilot & its reflexive because I assume its shitty ppls MO that usually never get called out on. it's like you saying, But Why? & they respond "because A comes before B then C, it's a process (theirs being totally outdated by decades but it's the law of the land, fallible or not. not my job to care!) Ewwww, idea!!!......what if I find an extremely MORE obnoxious & sarcastic, blunt, crass, & arrogant "copartner" to upstage my own indiscretions of wanton & perhaps enjoyable offensive communicating style. lol. See! Theres always hope inspiring opportunities! Disclaimer: Don't get all insulted or cling to narrow minded convictions about your perception of this. Just comprehend that you're totally clueless to which sentiments are truly authentic and which are comedic. Yes, I am an ENTP female! Inherently "atypical," exactly what we strive for. 🦄

Very true! For me though, I don't have as much interest in people.

I'm literally planning on not going to college and becoming an enterpreneur despite my parents pushing me to school. The trailblazing part is kind of easy but the fear of success, man that is pure pain.

@@csanadczanik9710 use college as a data center to push your entrepreneurial pursuits. I promise it’ll give some wild pursuable ideas! Use it as steps

@@khantrollz5655 I really thought it out since my last comment. The reason I don't want to go to college is mainly because of my controlling parents. You are right in the database part for college and I have thought about it a lot. But I couldn't stand more years being controlled and that's the most important for me. I want to live in creation no matter if i succeed or not.

oh ya, I feel like Ill say too much and just instantly regret it and i hate myself for wanting to open up to people because I feel like i shouldn't need them

@@slimemold4767 You should be careful who you open up to, as most people will not be able to deal with too much information or complex thought,, it's quite easy to see who you can and can not talk to. I learnt this because I have had an interest in psychic/supernatural things and people turn off from that much quicker. Why do you worry about saying too much? How do you define too much? (talking for too long or saying more than maybe you should have?) . What do you regret? not saying what you should? As much as we are able to rely on ourselves in a way that other types can not, doesn't mean we don't need people around us! We all have family, friends and or work colleagues who we interact with, humans are social animals and spending time with other people is important. The most important thing to remember is be yourself, and you will find out who your friends really are. I would rather have 4-5 really good friends than 100's of bad ones and no good one's. A friend isn't someone who will listen while you are helping them out and never finding time when you need them. However even with good friends they can't always deal with our complexity.

Paul Fadden use western and eastern astrology along with personality tests right out the gate to help you choose your best mates. It helps.

Pretty much 😅

Chris Stuckman

As a Finn the whole concept sounds funny. It's a cultural thing. People are more shallow in U.S. In Finland being honest comes with the package. You don't need to come up with a theory for that.

Wrong, its not healthy. Live your own life, your a grown up. And let others live the way they want to live. Keep your connection with parents. Your going to have problems with your own kids and others unless you do that.

Unless your a communist of course and you cannot accept others the way they want to live.

@@sub.sa.3058 we love to talk! :)

@@sub.sa.3058 Hi, Yes that makes sense, because that sounds very like me from the ENTP side, where I think INFP are scary is when they are extreme politically, because this is when they become feral! You have to base judgments on reality, not feelings! e.g. if the INFP was a vegan and therefore would chose to not save someones life because they ate meat, because that person was the enemy, or because they were a Trump supporter! In this situation, the reality is that person is about to die, the rest is irrelevant! I have been to India, Indonesia and Madagascar and seen real poverty. For many of those people they do not have the luxury of the privilege of choice, the way we do in the West, because they live hand to mouth!

@@sub.sa.3058 As an ENTP I definitely spend a lot of time refining things, I would say I have an Agile mind. Some people find this hard because they like to agree some thing and have it stuck to, but if I see ways to improve I can't help myself. Also if I start a project I find it hard to keep it small. For example I am building a firepit. Most people would dig a hole, put bricks at the top and that's it. Mine is 3m diameter, dug 500cm into the earth, there will be air fed in below the fire like a rocket stove, and the hot air will flow through the bricks used for the seating area on the outside of the firepit which is 1m down. I also designed and got fabricated brackets for the sides of the area to hold the soil back. It's alot of work and has ended up being expensive, but it's going to be awesome.

@@sub.sa.3058 I can accept there will be ENTPs out there who use their minds to take advantage of people, that is not why I do what I do! I do not think with my emotions, and therefore I do not tend to consider them when talking about things and have often ended up putting my foot in my mouth. This isn't because I don't understand peoples emotions, it's just because objectivity is more important to me, than subjectivity. If I am talking with someone about something I know is hard for them, like bereavement etc.. that's different, but especially when it comes to people who make life decisions and then lecture everyone else about why they should do the same, that's play time, and giving a FF at that point is out of the window! They are 100% allowed to make what ever decision that want in regards to themselves, but they have 0% right to do the same for me and the more they try the, further I will take it. However if I can see them getting to a vulnerable state I will back off, because going any further could have serious mental health effects, especially with religious people who use the religious structure to support themselves through their life! As an ENTP I will sometimes take a step back, but this is normally when the conversation is about something I know little about. However in a lot of situations I don't back down to think things through because I am thinking as we are talking. I don't tend to think about why I feel the way I do, because I know exactly why I feel how I do, there are things I question, but they tend to be external, not internal. I think this may be because I know who I am. What I may question is if an interaction went well, because I struggled to read the other person, e.g. if I am attracted to a biological women I might question how I think she felt.

@@sub.sa.3058 I've hung round with stoners in the past and they always though it strange that I was on the same level as they were when they were high!

I drive my ISTP husband crazy with the tab thing so I found evernote. I clip all the articles and end up with hundreds of folders in there lol

3 lol. As an ENTP-A, I have 111 windows open that are ½ read articles, political, crime, auto repair, borderline personality disorder, murder from 1968, Aquarius, how to, recipe, bulletproof vest isn’t knife proof etc. (that last one was super specific lol. I just learned that yesterday.) And that’s just one direction my boredom takes me. But we will eventually read them!

same, i just dig music all the time, my prents always pushed me to play, but i never wanted to learn conventional instruments, i wanted and still want to learn the digital production, but man thats hard

Why do we all ENTP's love music, Its my cocaine. Although I never wanted to be a musician.. but I love it so much. Definately don't want to do it as a profession more like something I like to do...

TheSaigonSaint so fucko did you practice any new instruments lately? I own like 5 instruments but I don't play any of them particularly well. Might be time for me to get a music teacher. How about you?

@@sub.sa.3058 I started to study music and progress pretty well. Practice and learn a lot.

I find myself in between since I also question atheism as much as religion.

ENTPs should be agnostic my friend;)

@@MiaumiauAffe that's the most stupid comment iv'e ever read! "should"

I am a Christian ENTP, but yes I think we are more prone to being agnostic or atheistic.

@@Zingius What’s there to question? I know it’s a difficult concept to grasp but there’s no alternative. Stories throughout religion have been copied and pasted throughout history with slight alterations and different names, that alone would be enough for me to mark off religion entirely. There are too many discrepancies, not to mention the contradictions and primitive way of life set up in the Bible… it’s honestly quite savage how we as a society and civilization can mark off Greek and Roman gods, but believe in Allah or Yahweh. The difference being the multiplicity in deities (lmao)

I'm a business owner and it's a great role for ENTPs. I have a team of 4, and my role is just to set goals, come up with plans to execute those goals, and delegate the busy work to my team. It's the perfect setup for an ENTP because you can think of the big picture while leaving the details to people who are more suited to that kind of work. You're constantly solving new problems and coming up with new solutions for getting around roadblocks. ENTPs can see how everything in a business is connected and how they affect each other. If you change one variable in a business it affects every other facet of your operations. ENTPs can can make sense out of this complex web of interconnected parts. It's very liberating being your own boss, setting your own schedule, creating your own projects. The hard part is being disciplined and holding yourself accountable, because you're not accountable to anyone else. Good luck with your business ventures!

This! At times it just came naturally, other times I met great resistance but never gave up, but frantically panic if I sense this will be ‘taken’ away from me.

So interesting! As a female ENTP I definitely obsess over approval more than respect. Not that I don't require respect but I do lean more towards wanting approval and having a hard time if someone doesn't approve. There might be a gender difference there. Thanks for bringing that up!

Kelsie Saunders I guess we need them both. It depends on what we lacked in our childhood, also. Although, respect might be perceived as a male trait and approval as a female one. Somehow, approval has to do with our inner child and respect is more related to how we would like to be perceived. This could be a longer discussion about the primary needs and it’s curious that I see things a little bit different from my original comment. The hole subject is complex but interesting to be analyzed.

Good comment. You're not alone. As an entp ex Navy communications collections specialist turned carpenter I got into everything to keep from getting bored and now I do remodels by myself and I still enjoy it ten years later. I love all the cool tools I get to use. Mastering them took some time and there are always new ones and new ways being invented to keep it interesting. I got into electrical, plumbing, finishing, sheetrocking mudding and tapping and then fancy texturing technique called Artexing, painting, framing, windows, doors and floors etc. I can't stand roofing or siding work. Lame sauce jobs. Too easy. No room for improvement or much artistry. Always something new to learn. Got a really old book of circular carpentry techniques so if I get bored I'll crack that and learn new and exciting techniques to keep work interesting. I work alone usually. I find its easier that way. I like to get the customer involved. We do the designing, layout, and if I need help on the project I ask them for a hand. Works out great so far because I'm very good and accurate at what I do. Nobody is gonna keep this entp down or bored lol.

Do it. I've realized I don't think I would succeed in real estate as I also will probably quickly get blacklisted as well.
