| ENTps, could you please give me an in depth description of yourself? Thanks. -- nachos |

A26 Hmmm...well, I've been labeled as an every type of NT throughout my life, but for the past several years, I've been a pretty solid ENTP. The only thing that might vary is the E. I'm definitely extroverted to the extent that I enjoy talking to people. I'm definitely one of those who worries whether people like them or not (all the time). It bothers me when someone doesn't like me. I use other people as a mirror to see if who I am becoming daily meets with my requirements. It's sometimes hard to stop yourself and think over every moment of the day alone. I don't always have that much time left over to think by myself. Yeah, I'm going to type a lot, so don't think this is ending any time soon. I type really fast, too, so watch out. I love to read and dream up new ideas. I always thought that the electric car should be modified to have a huge solar panel on the inside roof of the car and at least a white, 90% reflective inner surface. Also, wouldn't it be wicked sweet if they made tinted windows that could act as solar panels? I love to read, and I would rather do so than party. I love one on one interactions with people, philosophical discussions, and learning new things about the Universe. I plan to be a physicist and use my knowledge to develop theories of the nature of all space and time. I'm highly eccentric, love playing the clarinet, and I'm pretty dang good at it. I don't drink, swear, or smoke. I believe in God. I plan to live an oftly long time. I love to laugh. I'll admit it when I'm wrong. I mean, seriously, who's right all the time? Part of learning is admitting when you're wrong, you know? I doubt anyone will ever read this, but in case they do, props to you! Weird, this statement above the entry box..."qualify your opinions"? Why not quantify or intensify? Eh, oh well... I'm the world's pickiest eater. I seem to attract a million nerds (I'm female btw), but that's cool, because I think smarts are hot (although B.O. and a Darth Vader helmet is not). I'm a grammar Nazi for the most part... I hate it when people seem to feel down or not included or embarrassed. I've been there and know what it's like. I love to help and teach people. I also like to throw my textbooks at walls when I'm perturbed. I love word games like Boggle and anagrams. I toast and roast anyone who challenges me, although you would kill me at chess. I have enough friends to make me happy. I'm actually pretty doggone good at keeping them as long as we don't move away from one another (lost a lot of friends going to college). I'd love to write a book someday, but I just can't seem to get myself to stick with it. I always have a gazillion ideas and seem to stray from subject to subject. My room/workspace is always messy. I've rambled enough. Enjoy your life. Peace.  -- Heather |

| A27 Let's see... I find that for me it's very easy to be easy-going in relationships, and to forgive (but not to forget). On the flip side, I find it hard to be sympthathetic. If you approach me with a problem I will assume that what you want me to help you find a solution. I rapidly grow impatient with your distress if a simple solution is available that you haven't tried yet. Peripherally, I'm aware that what you want is sympathy, but unless we're really close, if I provide it it will rarely be completely "genuine" and more likely just another approach to helping you fix the problem. Or to phrase it quickly, I view your problems as puzzles to be solved, which is a callous way of looking at it but will probably not change, seeing as executing conscious effort to be less callous doesn't mean that at heart I'm not still the same. I read a description of Ne once which described it as the ability to be aware of several options and the possibility that any is true. I feel as if this is true of me and thus get frustrated when people say I am "opinionated"... Because I have opinions (which I express strongly, as if I hold them more strongly than I actually do) but am not so attached to any of them that I wouldn't immediately abandon ship if someone gave me a GOOD argument why they were wrong. Instead people get intimidated by my tendency towards arguing aggressively and retreat, which is frustrating for me, especially because I'm often arguing for the heck of it and can see their side as well, in fact can see arguments that they could have used more effectively but which they instead botched. I have a too-low sense of self-worth coupled with a too-high sense of self-capability... That is, I find it easy to believe I am not particularly lovable, and I also find it easy to believe I am capable of achieving anything I want badly enough, both of which are somewhat stupid approaches to life. I am disappointed that socionics completely fails to provide an explanation for why I like ISTj's so much. I'm looking to find one someday. A couple of things in response to A26: -I believe in God, too. Christianity, however, strikes me as one of the most illogical religions in existence. The fact that the vast, vast majority of the mass of believers and even a whole lot of the clergy don't know some very basic things about their religion disturbs me. -I also think smarts are hot. A very average-looking guy who is smart would be more attractive to me than a extremely hot and not particularly intelligent guy... -I drink, but not in excess. This would be easily explained if you understood that I have difficulty getting drunk or "high" off alcohol... That is, I haven't gotten drunk yet, despite the fact that I have tried, out of curiosity. But I will drink alcoholic beverages if I like the taste. And I think smoking is unappealing and completely fail to understand why people start smoking (continuing once addicted is another thing..). I curse but am not particularly happy about it, I just got in to the habit and have been trying to tone it down lately. -I keep my friends, but I don't try very hard... IM has done wonders in preserving friendships with people I no longer see regularly. The ones who don't have IM tend to slip away. In response to A1- It's sad that you feel the need to hate so many types. That you'll write off entire groups based on a four-letter formula seems a little bizarre to me. (However, I think that ISFJs would probably be frustrating for me. I do not know any, but one of the worst relationships (I don't mean 'dating') I've ever had with someone was with an INFJ. She just suddenly started hating me, I have no clue why. But I talked it out with her (she never did explain why) and we are now... civil to each other.) In response to A5- I have a policy where I force myself off the computer whenever people come. The fact that I need to force myself is telling, but I feel like the bonding created, even if small, is more important than the internet, which I could always get back to later. I prioritize real-world friends over internet ones, yes. A18, #9: I'll actually join the mob, just for fun, but the entire time I'll feel vaguely uncomfortable because I'm very much aware that it's a mob. Although mob perhaps has too strong a negative connotation. -- Female ENTP |
| A28 Another ENTP here. I spend a lot of time playing or writing music, most of which I quickly forget about. Everything about me is at least kind of messy. I love to debate. I'm always suspect of other peoples' motives, and hold myself to the same standards as I hold everyone else to. I think you have to assert your positive traits to survive, which sounds crappy, but that's the only way I've found. I get irritated easily, especially when people really aren't understanding what I've conceptualized. I love language and wordplay, focused on making every sentence I speak or type perfect. I also get very embarassed when something happens as a result of my comfort in a situation. I suppose that's enough? -- Paul_Mall |
| A29 I hate to be wrong. I space out easily. I love to argue. I fake emotions, but hate to talk about the real ones. I am very messy. I can love people easily. I want people to like me. I love anything deep. I can talk about thoughts and ideas for hours. I do everything last minutes...but i manage deadlines. I love languages and learning new things. -- katie |
A30 I am very random. I can't follow directions correctly. I love to cause trouble. I am not organized at all, and it bothers me when others are perfectionists. As a kid i thought that i was second to none and the next best was my also entp friend. i get along well with most people but dont care to spend time with esfj's too much. i have many friends and tend to have the problem of being peoples best friend when they arent mine thing going on a lot. people think that i'm weird and i'm clumsy as a giraffe on rollerblades.  -- Anonymous |
| A31 I am an ENTP male. I am naturally pretty messy, but I come up with unique systems to make things easier to organize and keep straight. I usually end up neglecting these systems though. I love talking to strangers, especially the crazy ones you find on the streets. Sometimes I can seem introverted, but it's usually just because I'm thinking about something. I'll think things out to every detail, I'll get out a piece of paper and draw it out even, but that's usually where it stays. I haven't really cried for quite a number of years, maybe since I was in middle school, I try sometimes though. A lot of times I feel emotionally detached. I've been told that I'm a loving guy though, was even voted friendliest in High School. I'm not sure how much of it is just because I want people to like me and how much is because I choose to be loving. I don't really have many friends at all though on a deep level. I'm pretty much just everybody's buddy. I lose touch with people very easily, and have to make great pains to keep a relationship going if I move. I love discussing the abstract, especially topics concerning people and why they do what they do. I avoid conflict, it kills me if I know someone's mad at me. Unlike most ENTPs I prefer not to argue, I would rather discuss something peacably exploring all sides of a topic. I really don't care about a lot of things. Actually flunked a number of classes in college just because I didn't care at the time. I often plan on ditching everything I'm involved in to travel. Have never actually had a girlfriend. I can always tell it won't work after I take her out to coffee or something. When I do actually like a girl I usually miss my oportunity because I don't know how to tell her. I don't like large groups of people, I prefer one on one interactions. I can usually tell what people are thinking. Like almost all ENTp's I'm probably one of the smartest people I know, and I probably just typed more than those girls. Kind of embarrassing. -- Anonymous |
