entp advice: watch it with 1,5 speed

im an entp and if something doesn't 'need' to be done, you know its not getting done

Entp here. I am definitely physically lazy while my mind is doing mental boot camp.

Any other ENTP’s never physically do the work but spend hours sitting or pacing through an intense mental debate? Or just randomly wake up at 4 in the morning with a ridiculous amount of new ideas?

I am an Entp, and I am lazy in a sense that I will avoid doing anything that needs done. But also I struggle to sit still and watch tv or play games ect. I'm more focused on things I don't need to do than things that are important

3:51 when he starts talking about the subtypes. You're welcome boys. Even if you're a girl, you're one of the boys if you're ENTP. Because being the *boys* is a mental state, rather than a physical state of being.

The key for ENTPs is the "bird holocaust" model of life. It's a matter of setting things up so that one stone kills multiple birds. So that fun is also productive.

As an ENTP: The way you organized the video was inefficient

1. The DJ (High Ne) - 0:38 2. The Geek (High Ti) - 5:03 3. The Sweet Talker (High Fe) - 7:00 4. The Community Police (High Si) - 11:50

Anyone else take forever to browse the movie catalog and sometimes end up not even watching anything?

I just want to have fun in life. Hedonistic lifestyle. Naps. Knowledge, high status lifestyle, no responsibility of others. Dead on geek behavior of expert on a particular subject. I’m a patient instructor as well. Good job.

As an ENTP I would love to know the 4 types, but I can't get through the video lmao

I am an entp. When very important exams are approaching for example, and people are preparing daily for them. I can spend 4/5 days doing nothing (just ordinary entp shit) and in one day i can do more than what everyone did in 4 days . And I always pass the exam in the top three

It's appropriate that others pick up my slack because I'm busy doing the shit only I can do.

I understand the logic behind your categories. Ti = istp, Fe = enfj, si = isfj. However, practically I see more ENTP's turning to INTJ's using most of their shadow functions and that happens usually when they are trapped with their Ne. As an example, if you'll take entp student that feels he has no room to explore his passion you'll begin to see a pattern of INTJ activity, isolating a lot of time alone, becoming more pragmatic than curious. The other common type you can see is really when ENTP's are forced to act with F which can happen a lot in a workplace environment, when that happens I agree ISFJ pattern is an accurate way to describe the behavior Another interesting sub type is entj, since entp's has a will for power/dominance usually they can adopt entj/estj style and that depends in my opinion on their role model. For example, if they have a teacher/friend/tv hero they can see connection with which is usually tagged as TE dominant the entp can mimic his behavior pattern in order to achieve the goals he wishes to Anyways that's my impression

As an ENTP I'm too lazy to watch till the end lol. But I'm curious tho. Hmm, Can u make points?

You should use more colors or cartoons or something to keep entps interested if you want us to watch all the way through. Like music or something idk.

I’m an entp and I got in a job managing volunteers where I dealt with higher level strategy and execution , but what I found was also when I was more worried about ensuring the ideas went off flawlessly and trained people into do things. Oh it became flawless

paralysis by analysis

"Yuggling options" ha ha ha... You're a cool INFJ. I like you.

ORDERED BY TIME 0:00 - start 3:24- intro sidekick/ mentor 3:56 - type 1. (Implied: mentor) 4:13 - type 2 (probably sidekick) 5:32 - type 3 ? Nerdy expert. I guess he is talking about mentors again. Wow proper nouns would be so helpful 6:58 - he says that the past 3 minutes were only two types. Ok. For the first time mentions ISTP & ENFJ. Video significantly improves from here 8:17 - ENFJ-state problems 10:11- ISTP-state problems 11:05- mbti type vs subtype in entp 11:53 - ISFJ the Fourth subtype. not sure what the third one was? 13:22 - Outro 13:36 - the ESFP-state! First & last mention 14:00 - INTJ is muse for ENTP so befriend them

King Thor , this video was very educational. The topic was well structured. Thank you.

I'm an ENTP. It was a bit tedious to sit and listen to Thor yack his way through this video. Nothing personal, but I require more visual aid stimulation to accompany all the talking.

That was eerie, I've never heard anything so accurately described me. Great job!

As an ENTP with ADHD, my laziness comes with focusing physically on fun stuff and mentally focusing on fun stuff. Responsibily goes out. the. window. 😂

Thank you for doing these videos. I am always trying to be better in touch with the flow. This info is helping. Thank you again Erik!!

For a bunch of ENTPs, the comments sure were original. There’s that unique intelligence we love. Rolling my f*cking eyes lmao.

What dick head disliked this? Erik sir you are the man! Thanks for making this video for me it's so spot on. I have been everyone of the things you said at one point or another. I'm really glad I asked you to make this, I've watched it 4 times lol

Man, this is spot on. Watched a few times, first time comment. The "Overwhelming Anxiety" has knocked me off a path a few times. I heard a great speech this year sometime which actually changed that, "Anxiety can be overwhelming, but what is the difference between anxiety and excitement? both have the same physical reactions so why do we enjoy the feeling of "excitement" but anxiety cripples me?" -(Unknown) This made me think about the times i've been anxious, almost all times were while my wheels were spinning, i needed to move but felt overly anxious... So i thought about how I could turn the "Anxiety" into "excitement" Mentally since the physical symptoms were the same. I wanted to share that since this video really made that pop into my mind and seems to be the ENTP's biggest road block. (BTW I have switched to a much more driven person after I was able to catch myself in this situation. GREAT Video btw! Thanks for sharing

You're the best man! Very well explained, exhaustive, recognized myself in every word!

Fellow ENTP's, you might be interested in SE (street epistemology). It's awesome.

Great video. This makes so much sense. I have gone through all of these stages.. I'm president of the music club at the college I attend, and when I'm anxious about doing things right, I can get caught up in that popularity charm... but it creates a weird inner-friction.

thank you so much, that was very educational and informative!!!!

This video is spot frickin on

These points were actually spot on, I didn't expect that 😆

Im an ENTP that has a 5w6 enneagram. I fall under this ENTP that feels he has a duty to society. Although I am often times very bad and being responsible I usually find it somewhere. I do a lot of cramming for tests but I do well on them.

The video is spot on and Love that mirror on d background.It's such an interesting mirror.

Found my tribe finally...ENTPs whoop whoop

brilliant, erik! spot on! (and yes, I should do somethign else right now :-( and I am or was doing the wrong things just as you describe it being unhappy with it, is very good advice, I will watch this again )

Very validating info in the last 1/4th of the video, defo feel that. Also, yes I had to speed it up. Thank you for your time and energy and understanding that we just need to get through to the nitty gritty. Hope you're not too taken aback by the comments lol. ISFJ is the side at their -worst???- I came off as an INFJ and thought I was an INFJ for 5 years lol until learning a lot about everything. I also had like no family and was sheltered for a very long time so I was very repressed. Had a lot of time to develop the SHITE out of my Ti because I was so bored and I have a tendency to auto pilot all over the place and create my own specific systems. I also was trying to fix fix fix myself everywhere so heavily relied on Ti to develop my Fe and Si because I could not take care of myself well and I thought I understood how people felt but I struggle with how to respond. It is hard to just say what people -want- you to say. It has to come from my own brain plant that develops and I trust because I don't know the intentions of others so I feel like I can only truly trust that info. Irritates the heck out of some people but when they understand my process it helps. I'm rambling. In my Ti+Ne->Ni-> Te train right now (Talking about what I know so I can understand what I know and what I'm taking in... I just noticed the pathways we get from going to a preferred function to a less preferred function and idk what those are called or if it is established but I call them "function gates") **I've only really gotten the "sidekick" subtype from all that. No visuals to help me separate the info into the 4 types for me to remember but J like the comparisons to ENFJ and ISTP, ISFJ, INTJ ect. Those things helped me put it into context.

I am as ENTP as it can get, and boii I'm also as lazy as it can get. If there's not a NEED that I do something RIGHT NOW, you can bet your kidney that I WILL NOT DO IT. I also basically never do what someone else expects from me, because I see expectations as something very rude and this is my way of showing to other people that they should not be so rude to me / expect something from me. I love to give to other people, and when I do give something / do something for someone else I do it with my whole heart. However, when someone expects me to do something from him it's like he is taking something from me and I do not like it, when someone is taking something from me. I will only let him take it ( / if do something for him / her ), IF he is so annoying to a point where the pain of doing something I dont want to do is smaller than the pain I feel when he / she annoys me, again. What do you guys think ?

Awesome video! Can you do one on ENTP careers that are best suited for them... Thanks! Yooooooo!

Thank you for the shout out Erik.

You are an excellent speaker

Haha, so I've just changed my guess for my 2nd ex/now friend from an ENFP to an ENTP :D Kind of in the ISFJ mode, actually, as he's really preoccupied with how others perceive him and loves gossip. ENTP was my first guess anyway, since he reminded me of a junior high best friend (a girl) who was a model example of one. They have really similar hobbies (that are weird as hell so it's really significant, including fascination with history and with evil), we have great respect for one another's intellectual capacities and have tons of fun together. I'm an INFP though so I perceive them as a bit emotionally shallow. They've definitely both played a trickster role to me though and really challenged me in that way, so your other video was also spot on! By the way, Eric, how often do you type people based on similarities to others that you choose as a "model"? I've never really seen in recommended but it's the most reliable and intuitive way for me.

There is something about ENTP's that make me spot them and perceive their motivations almost immediatelly (maybe that I grown up with one) I have realized many points you explained but I didn't know how to express them. Thanks for that, this is a very insightful video.

Looks like I'm The Geek. (Assuming that I'm an ENTP, that is.) There have definitely been moments of my life where I've pivoted into the deranged ISFJ mode that you described. My skin crawls when I look back on how much of a shallow bully I was then. Yikes.

Erik could you do a video on ENTP women ?

How is Bill Gates an ENTP? I just came from another website that said that he was an INTP (your thumbnail).

this is cool (im entp and my regular channel is aaronmakowski) my mom is ENFJ and i talk mostly to an ISTP INTP ENFP, i definitely went to ISFJ mode and crash landed a relationship by trying to schedule things to meet expectations, too much

Best explanation of Entp by far

Thanks a lot - it really clears my mind that sometimes I not in a good part of using Fe a lot and I think I often am stuck in Ti mode what can I do for being healthier ENTP-Please make a Video about how to be healthy if possible.

I Love this. Being a ENTP myself this is spot on. It makes me feel good about myself since I am a mentor ENTP. I have learned a lot about technology and now have a well paying job using my knowledge. The only issue is I feel as if I need more and the learning has come to a plateau affect. Do you have any advice for my issue?

I (ENTP) am interested in your content, but the way you present it, I get always anxious.. thinking „ok.. 4 types, what are the four types?? why is he talking about that stuff now? .. darn, is he finally talking about the types.. shall I watch something else?“ *turning from 1,5 x speed to 2 x speed“

As an entp, I’d love to know what his main points are but I’m so not bothered to watch the entire vid. Bye

Pretty informal I think but I got bored, so I am hopping to another video see ya

It sounds just about right. But the personality subgroups are more about what entp's at his/hers best or worst. This pendle can quickly move from one state of mind to another.

I am an ENTP and a teacher and I love my job!!! I love to see students making metal connections and understanding things while habita laugh 😄

I am ENTP and you are verry right about this.

Pretty sure I've acted as all of these before!

That was very interesting. Your ISFJ thing though... I think of ISFJ as my most balanced state. It's the state where I'm pleasant and self-attending. Where I remember to bring a jacket, and don't forget to pay the bills, and handle my shit.

I'm trying to figure out if this guy I met recently is an ENTP. He texted me brief messages, but kept the connection for over a month. I felt there wasn't anything there so I didn't out any effort, and then he asked me out on a date. He confirmed the date, suggested the location, but realized when he got to the restaurant that the place was packed. We were out on a long wait list and I suggested that we go to the park and get takeout food. He really wanted the restaurant to work out but finally agreed to eat fast food. During the conversation it quickly became about politics and his woes on crazy liberals in the US. He is an artist who wants to express his philosophy through his art. He was touchy, but not to the point where I became comfortable. He did not seem too how much interest in me as a person, and I felt he sort of took over the conversation with his ideas. I enjoyed listening to him, but it didn't seem like a date. I don't know if he's interested in me, but at the end of the date he asked me if we could get together again for a meal at his place.

Look at Dario Nardi, he's doing neuroscience research on MBTI

These 4 sub types are all of me depending on what situation I'm in. So, you might be getting 4 sub characters in what you perceive to be different people here but I think all of these descriptions relate to all ENTPs dependant on what situation they're in. We are great adaptors in any given situation and the 4 traits are our 4 key strengths.

I am ENTP and feel depressed cz i am not doing what i want to do. i am not doing my interest and feel so streess.. but i come out as INFP... how ?

Hey ENTPs, two (2) questions: Which of you scrolled down to read the comments because you were curious about what was in the comments while the video was running? Who got distracted for like that 10th time for the day and stumble on to this video?

SO COOL.

What is the source of this information you are communicating? Simply patterns you've inferred?

I had to turn it up to 1,75, but it really works!

Nice Norwinglish.

Very true about ISTP ISTJ friends they do challenge us ENTPs.. I mean talk about life changing people, I’ve accomplished more in one year than the last forty with these guys as my friends. I’m an ENTP with ADD who has a very motivated ISTJ holding me in the lines. I’m teaching the ISTJ how to laugh 😆.

I like the pisces empathic ENTP , very mature , yet kinda too sensitive and needs alot of support to get anywhere in life ❤

I made 2 test and got different results. INTP and ENTP. I feel like in deel side Iam Introvertic but last 10 years I'am DJ and I used to be with people and kind like them. Do you think I could be something between or even - I could have more than 1 type - depends on situations?

Finding efficient ways to do things is a bit of an obsession for me. I catch myself worrying about the proper ordering of activities, when all that really matters is that I stop dithering and get to work. Besides which many things cannot be done efficiently--writing, for instance. You can't get hung up on a first draft. It's better if you accept the fact, from the beginning, that you'll have to do a bunch of drafts, and the first ones will probably be pretty awful. "Getting your ducks in a row" is generally just an excuse for procrastination.

i took this test at 16personalities .com, and i got entp-a, but those questions are solely applying to my life in this very moment, what if i ever change my stance on any of the questions i got asked? do i get a whole different personality type if i do? i'm completely new on this subject and would like to have some more insights, since i took this test randomly, but now i'm interested since a lot of the traits associated with entp's are matching perfectly, altough i could say the same about my horoscopes. what's the evidence that these tests are accurate at all? if anyone is up to talk about it, i'd love too explore this a little.

These subtypes are based on the enneagram. 7 or 8s will be in the first categories and the nerdy ones are 5s.

I only get shit done if it is absolutely necessary, and i do it in the last minutes, and i do it really fast and efficiently, including some cheating if i know that i will most likely get away with it.

Is there an 'Ambitious' subtype for ENTP or INTP? I seem to be an ANTP, ambiverted & ambitious XNTP dominated by Ne. Hacker INTP also somewhat explains me but I'm driven by strong ambition to succeed in business world. How would you classify a specimen like me? Great video BTW. Thanks!

Has anyone debated on whether to do what some tells u or play a game and while u are eternally debating it u are playing a game

I am not physically lazy, which is why I look like I got lost in a weight room back and '94 and never found my way out. I did have to ween that bull shit out of me, it was something I hated so I fixed it.. I will say if I cant fix something let say regarding my business I tend to have tantrums followed by more points of reflection and further attempts at corrections and if failed more tantrums followed by bouts of complete laziness.

I’m an infp and I’m your older sister: please clean your own room please I’m tired 💃🤠

Real entp advice go back 20 every 30 seconds

I love being a woman ENTP ❤️❤️❤️

Are we all so darned impatient with stupid people?! Any other ENTPs affected by lockdowns at first but then became very happy working at home (albeit doing multiple things at once?) To add to ENTP I'm also a Gemini, so communication comes really easily but to switch my brain off I have to get into something creative but relaxing - gardening seems to help.

Thanks

We ENTPs are good delegators. We have a vision but not the desire to do the physical work, so we find people who can and will.

lmfao my names DJ danny adao

Wow so true

Erik, i cant tell if i am ENFP, ENTP or even INFP or INTP, dont know,most likely enfp but i'm incredibly blunt,and have something like allergic reaction to stupid people...so i have many entp traits, but i'm emo, ...and i'm also trolling for fun a lot which ive read is ntp thingie.. etc.. was wondering if it'd be possible to chat withyou and talk about it? also i have no idea whats my enneagram, 7 or 3,or 4..:) or.. :) i'm a girl :....let me know if we could chat.

Entp here , Guys I really want to understand All entp eneegrams and subtypes

I related a lot to the ISTP variation

1,2, and 4 is me. never was good with the ladies because autism

I became sleepy halfway the video

ENTP named Erik reporting for duty.

The cutest white snow owl of all types ❤❤❤

I'm an ENTP that loves physical work.

Im an ENTP, 23, working as a bartender in Las Vegas.

sometimes i believe all of this ..but sometimes i felt listening stereotypes--

The video should be organized by pictures since most of us are visual learners
