티스토리 뷰
Follow the path of the unsafe, independent thinker. Expose your ideas to the dangers of controversy. Speak your mind and fear less the label of "crack-pot' than the stigma1 of conformity2. And on issues that seem important to you, stand up and be counted3 at any cost4.
- Thomas J. Watson
The ENTP personality type is the ultimate devil's advocate5, thriving on6 the process of shredding7 arguments and beliefs and letting the ribbons drift8 in the wind for all to see9. Unlike their more determined Judging (J) counterparts10, ENTPs don't do this because they are trying to achieve some deeper purpose or strategic goal11, but for the simple reason that it's fun. No one loves the process of mental sparring more than ENTPs, as it gives them a chance to exercise their effortlessly quick wit12, broad accumulated knowledge base, and capacity for connecting disparate13 ideas to prove their points.
An odd juxtaposition14 arises with ENTPs, as they are uncompromisingly15 honest, but will argue tirelessly16 for something they don't actually believe in, stepping into another's shoes17 to argue a truth from another perspective.
Playing the devil's advocate helps people with the ENTP personality type to not only develop a better sense of others' reasoning18, but a better understanding of opposing19 ideas - since ENTPs are the ones arguing them.
This tactic20 shouldn't be confused with the sort of mutual understanding21 Diplomats seek - ENTPs, like all Analyst personality types, are on a constant quest22 for knowledge, and what better way to gain it than to attack and defend an idea, from every angle, from every side?
There are no Rules here - We're Trying to Accomplish Something !
Taking a certain pleasure in being the underdog23, ENTPs enjoy the mental exercise24 found in questioning the prevailing25 mode of thought, making them irreplaceable26 in reworking27 existing systems or shaking things up28 and pushing them in clever new directions. However, they'll be miserable managing the day-to-day29 mechanics of actually implementing their suggestions. ENTP personalities love to brainstorm and think big, but they will avoid getting caught doing30 the "grunt work31" at all costs32. ENTPs only make up about33 three percent of the population, which is just right, as it lets them create original ideas, then step back to let more numerous34 and fastidious35 personalities handle the logistics of36 implementation and maintenance.
ENTPs' capacity for debate can be a vexing37 one - while often appreciated when it's called for, it can fall painfully flat38 when they step on others' toes by say39, openly questioning their boss in a meeting, or picking apart40 everything their significant other says. This is further complicated by ENTPs' unyielding41 honesty, as this type doesn't mince words42 and cares little about being seen as sensitive or compassionate43. Likeminded44 types get along well enough with45 people with the ENTP personality type, but more sensitive types, and society in general46, are often conflict-averse47, preferring feelings, comfort, and even white lies48 over unpleasant truths and hard rationality.
This frustrates ENTPs, and they find that their quarrelsome49 fun burns many bridges, oftentimes inadvertently50, as they plow through51 others' thresholds52 for having their beliefs questioned and their feelings brushed aside53. Treating others as they'd be treated, ENTPs have little tolerance for being coddled54, and dislike when people beat around the bush55, especially when asking a favor. ENTP personalities find themselves respected for their vision, confidence, knowledge, and keen sense of56 humor, but often struggle to utilize these qualities as the basis for deeper friendships and romantic relationships.
Opportunity Is Missed Because It Looks Like Hard Work
ENTPs have a longer road than most in harnessing57 their natural abilities58 - their intellectual independence and free-form59 vision are tremendously60 valuable when they're in charge61, or at least have the ear of someone who is, but getting there can take a level of follow-through62 that ENTPs struggle with.
Once they've secured such a position, ENTPs need to remember that for their ideas to come to fruition63, they will always depend on others to assemble the piece64 - if they've spent more time "winning" arguments than they have building consensus65, many ENTPs will find they simply don't have the support necessary to be successful. Playing devil's advocate so well, people with this personality type may find that the most complex and rewarding intellectual challenge is to understand a more sentimental perspective, and to argue consideration and compromise alongside66 logic and progress.

ENTP STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES
ENTP Strengths
- Knowledgeable
ENTPs rarely pass up67 a good opportunity to learn something new, especially abstract concepts68. This information isn't usually absorbed for69 any planned purpose as with dedicated studying, people with the ENTP personality type just find it fascinating.
- Quick Thinkers
ENTPs have tremendously flexible minds, and are able to shift from70 idea to idea without effort, drawing on71 their accumulated knowledge to prove their points72, or their opponents', as they see fit73.
- Original
Having little attachment74 to tradition, ENTP personalities are able to discard75 existing systems and methods and pull together76 disparate77 ideas from their extensive78 knowledge base, with a little raw creativity to hold them together79, to formulate80 bold new ideas. If presented with chronic81, systemic problems and given rein to82 solve them, ENTPs respond with83 unabashed84 glee85.
- Excellent Brainstormers
Nothing is quite as enjoyable to ENTPs as analyzing problems from every angle to find the best solutions. Combining their knowledge and originality86 to splay out87 every aspect of the subject at hand88, rejecting without remorse89 options that don't work and presenting ever more possibilities, ENTPs are irreplaceable in brainstorming sessions90.
- Charismatic
People with the ENTP personality type have a way with91 words and wit that others find intriguing92. Their confidence, quick thought and ability to connect disparate ideas in novel ways93 create a style of communication that is charming, even entertaining, and informative at the same time94.
- Energetic
When given a chance to combine these traits95 to examine96 an interesting problem, ENTPs can be truly impressive in their enthusiasm and energy, having no qualm with97 putting in long days and nights to find a solution.
ENTP Weaknesses
- Very Argumentative
If there's anything ENTPs enjoy, it's the mental exercise of debating an idea, and nothing is sacred. More consensus-oriented98 personality types rarely appreciate the vigor99 with which ENTP personalities tear down100 beliefs and methods, leading to a great deal of tension.
- Insensitive
Being so rational, ENTPs often misjudge101 others feelings and push their debates well past others' tolerance levels102. People with this personality type don't really consider emotional points to be valid in103 such debates either, which magnifies104 the issue tremendously.
- Intolerant
Unless people are able to back up105 their ideas in a round of106 mental sparring, ENTPs are likely to dismiss107 not just the ideas but the people themselves. Either a suggestion can stand up to108 rational scrutiny109 or it's not worth bothering with110
- Can Find It Difficult to Focus
The same flexibility that allows ENTPs to come up with111 such original plans and ideas makes them readapt112 perfectly good ones far too often, or to even drop them entirely as the initial excitement wanes113 and newer thoughts come along114. Boredom comes too easily for ENTPs, and fresh thoughts are the solution, though now always a helpful one.
- Dislike Practical matters
ENTPs are interested in what could be - malleable115 concepts like ideas and plans that can be adapted116 and debated. When it comes to hard details and day-to-day117 execution where creative flair118 isn't just unnecessary but actually counter-productive119, ENTP personalities lose interest120, often with the consequence of their plans never seeing the light of day.
ENTP Relationships
If there's one thing ENTPs are good at, it's coming up with a never-ending stream of innovations and ideas to keep things moving forward121, and this is evident in122 their romantic relationships as well. For people with the ENTP personality type growth is key, and even before they've found a dating partner, they imagine all the ways that they can experience new things together, to grow in tandem123. This can be an overwhelming124 process if their partner doesn't match up125, but when ENTPs find someone who shares their love of intellectual exploration, watch out.
Show Me a Satisfied Man, and I'll Show You a Failure
From the earliest dates, ENTPs test126 their partners' limits for this kind of potential, pushing boundaries and traditions, looking for open-mindedness127 and spontaneity128. Dating ENTP personalities is hardly a boring experience, and they make use of129 their enthusiasm and creativity by delighting130 and surprising their partners with new ideas and experiences.
ENTPs' idea of fun is often rooted in131 self-improvement, and people with this personality type bring their partners along the way, as much in a spirit of 132sharing as in a spirit of expectation. ENTPs see either growth or stagnation133 and don't buy into134 the idea of a happy status quo135, making them demanding as much as they are exciting.
Some may tire in136 the face of this constant improvement - while ENTPs' vigor can be attractive, it can also wear down137 even the most patient partners. A little time to breathe and a chance to rest one's laurels138 for a moment is necessary for many people, but not something ENTPs are likely to appreciate. However, if their unwavering139 enthusiasm is met in kind140, it can lead to a magnificent relationship characterized by its strength, depth, and spark141.
Genius Is One Percent Inspiration and Ninety-Nine Percent Perspiration142
This is perhaps most evident as ENTP's relationships progress into more intimate situations. All that exploratory143 curiosity and enthusiasm has a chance to be expressed in new ways when ENTPs and their partners come together, and they readily144 encourage their partners to try new things, to enjoy their intimacy without preconceived145 limitations.
For people with the ENTP personality type, this phase of their relationships is a chance to improve and develop in areas that are outside the realm of academia146, though they approach it in much the same way - as a physical and intellectual process of striving towards147 excellence148, rather than a spiritual149 or emotional expression of affection150.
ENTPs' desire to improve in this department makes them fantastic partners when the relationship reaches that point, but their attitude towards this process is also evidence of their most glaring151 shortcoming152 - their emotional obliviousness153. While ENTPs are more open-minded than other Analysts about others' perspectives, they are also more likely to express their disdain for154 such things as emotional sensitivity in155 cuttingly156 well-phrased157 and clear terms, easily hurting their partners' feelings without realizing it. ENTP personalities may even ignore their partners' feelings altogether, instead immersing themselves entirely in158 some distant idea159 or opportunity, inaccessible160.
Where ENTPs' unwavering161 desire for self-improvement162 comes in most handy163 is in their emotional development, as they may actually be willing to work on areas164 such as sensitivity and emotional communication with their partners.
As with other Intuitive (N) types, ENTPs' best compatibility165 rests with166 other Intuitives, with one or two opposing167 traits168 which help to create both balance and opportunities for growth. If they are with a more sensitive partner, this can be an excellent way for them to find another quality that they can work on together, making this weakness yet another opportunity to be creative, challenge themselves, and to deepen169 the attractiveness170 that this sense of progression171 brings to172 their relationships.
ENTP Friendships
Loyalty, support, emotional feedback - these are not what ENTPs look for173 in their friendships. The last thing people with the ENTP personality type want to hear is "you're right", not unless174 they have absolutely earned the distinction175 in a heated round of intellectual debate. If they're wrong, ENTPs want to be told so, and they want every detail of the faults in their logic to be laid bare176, partly in their quest for177 oftentimes178 arbitrary truth, and partly just so they have to work to defend that logic with counterpoint179 and parry180.
It's often easy for ENTPs to test compatibility with181 a potential friend - they just need to test combatability. ENTP personalities are quick-witted182, and their primary means of183 expressing this is in the form of184 arguments and discussions, where they will easily spend an entire evening debating an idea they may not even believe in.
The epitome of185 ENTP's friendships is when someone can hold their ground in186 these arbitrary debates with valid187, rational arguments.
These debates are never taken personally, no matter how heated they become or how striking188 the disagreement189. Much as190 an athlete competes for191 the physical exertion192 and the spirit of competition itself, ENTPs debate for the sake of193 intellectual stimulation194 and for the debate itself, and even in overwhelming victory or crushing195 defeat, it's never about dominance196, only inspiration to197 try harder next time.
When You Play, Play Hard
They know how to relax and have fun too, it's just that "fun" to ENTPs - a bottle of wine and a discussion about the causes of and solutions to the European Debt Crisis - could be described as "an evening from hell" by many Observant (S) and Feeling (F) types. But ENTPs are a genial198 and enthusiastic personality type for the most part199, and pretty much any situation that allows for200 conversation and a little wordplay201 is an enjoyable outing202.
ENTPs are actually remarkably good at communicating with friends and acquaintances203 of other personality types. Their natural tendency to204 argue as effectively as possibly means that ENTPs are accustomed to communicating in205 other people's language and frame of reference206, and this translates well into207 normal conversation. Where people with the ENTP personality type do have difficulty relating to others is in emotional expression, the Achilles' heel of208 all Analyst types.
The Worst Thinking Has Been Done in Turmoil209
Being inclined to210 suppress their emotions211 and feelings, when ENTPs are faced with212 a friend who, figuratively213 or literally214, needs a shoulder to cry on215, they have no clue how to handle the situation. They are perfectly willing and happy to offer a series of216 rational, reasonable solutions to the problem at hand, as ENTPs do for any situation where a problem needs to be fixed217, but they are certainly not known for their sensitivity or outward218 affection219, no matter how intuitively220 they may understand another's position.
Worse is when ENTP personalities try to turn these emotional situations into something they find more comfortable: a debate. Given how remarkably good ENTPs are at debating both sides of a point, they are remarkably bad at putting themselves in someone else's shoes221 from an emotional standpoint222. ENTPs should avoid at all costs223 the temptation to turn a discussion about the causes of friend's recent breakup into competitive intellectual fodder224.
So long as225 everyone understands not to take their words too personally, anyone who isn't afraid to discuss new ideas - and have them converted into226 so much confetti227 - is likely to find stimulating228 and thought-provoking229 friends in ENTPs. It's not a compatibility230 that clicks with231 everyone anyways. As long as they get to alternate between232 being the sounding board233 and the megaphone234, ENTPs and their friends are bound to enjoy235 each other's company for a long, long time.
ENTP Parents
One might think that the blustery236 and flighty237 nature of ENTPs would make parenting238 a particular challenge for them, and in many ways, they'd be right. However, one thing people with the ENTP personality type love more than just about anything is a good challenge, a problem to fix, even if it comes to addressing their own weaknesses. ENTPs take their roles as parents seriously, and they are bound to be affected profoundly239 by this development in their lives - if anyone is able to take an outside influence240, like their children, and use that influence to address their own faults, it is ENTPs.
Be Brave, Have Faith, Go Forward!
From the beginning ENTPs' distaste for241 rules and regulations242 is evident243, and they are likely to give their young children the freedom necessary to explore on their own. Independence is one of ENTP's greatest needs, and they feel that no person is complete without an independent mind244.
ENTP personalities create relaxed, unorthodox245 environments for their children, founded on enthusiasm and the joy of discovery through the development of reason, not heavily structured settings designed merely to be safe.
As their children grow and develop, ENTPs encourage them to think independently and voice246 objections247, opinions and alternatives. But unlike Diplomat parents, who encourage their children to express their thoughts in terms of feelings and needs, ENTPs teach their children to approach these options from a position of impartiality248 and logic, to state what is more effective rather than what would make them feel good. As in other relationships, this quality of emotional inaccessibility249 is where ENTPs struggle.
As their children grow into250 adolescence251 and learn to find a balance in healthy emotional expression, people with the ENTP personality type may find themselves exasperated252. While always up for a good debate on just about any subject, ENTPs often need their partners' help in managing more emotional outbursts253 and arguments. ENTPs are more able than most, but even they have their limits and rules when it comes to vocal254 conflict.
There's a Way to Do It Better - Find It.
Luckily, ENTP personalities recognize what's at stake255: they want their children to grow into smart, independent, honest adults. To convey those values, ENTPs know that they need, like with any other debate, to communicate in terms that are accessible to256 all sides. If that means learning how to use the tools of emotional expression and appeals257, and in so doing258 becoming more emotionally expressive259 in real, personal terms as well, so be it260.
ENTP Careers
In the world careers, ENTPs have the benefit of being naturally engaged and interested in being productive and helpful. But rather than the sort of people-oriented261 helpfulness262 that Diplomats bring to the table263, ENTP personalities are focused on developing solutions to interesting and diverse technical and intellectual problems. ENTPs are a versatile264 personality type, and while it may take time265 for them to get to a point where they can fully utilize266 their skillset267 and qualities, they are likely to find that those qualities translate well into268 pretty much any career that so much as269 piques270 their interest.
If there's anything ENTPs love, it's flexing their mental muscles271, and any environment that lets them devise272 new approaches, new ideas and new projects, that allows them to push the limits of their creativity, will benefit strongly from what ENTPs bring to the table.
Not every career allows this level of unbridled273 brainpower274, but there are those that demand nothing but: entrepreneurship, engineering, even acting and photography. So long as ENTPs are honest with themselves about their strengths and weaknesses, they can thrive in most any career that is in need of275 a new line of thinking.
The Value of an Idea Lies in the Using of It
All this intellectual power can be intimidating276, but unlike their Introverted277 (I) cousins, people with the ENTP personality type have the added benefit of278 being excellent communicators, in the written word but especially in face-to-face279 conversation. Though they dislike the constraints of280 managing others (and of being manged), this social adaptability281 allows ENTPs to be natural leaders, showing the way forward282 and inspiring others with sound logic283 and intellectual prowess284. While others may object to285 these plans with emotional considerations or general resistance to change, things ENTPs place little value in286, these competing comments are usually outmaneuvered by287 ENTP personalities' deft arguments288 and subtly289 shifting290 goals.
The best careers reward intellectual competency291 and curiosity, allowing ENTPs to utilize their never-ending flow of292 ideas productively293 by affording294 a degree of spontaneity in295 how they engage their intellectual pursuits296. People with the ENTP personality type value knowledge, rational thought and insight very highly, and they make brilliant lawyers, psychologists, systems analysts as they rationalize297 purchase decisions that may otherwise seem discretionary298 - so long as their managers know to give them the space they need to work their magic.
Being Busy Doesn't Always Mean Real Work
Really it all comes down to a sense of personal freedom299, for ENTPs to know that they are allowed to apply themselves fully to understanding300 and solving the problems that interest them, without getting bogged down by301 social politics302 and trying to figure out what makes other people "tick303". Routine, structure and formal rules all feel like unnecessary hindrances to304 ENTPs, and they may find that their best careers yet allow them to engage their intellectual pursuits on their own terms, as freelance consultants or software engineers.
The key for ENTPs is to have the patience to get to a position that allows for these freedoms, to be in an environment long enough that not just their colleagues, but their managers and, in time305, their subordinates306, recognize what it is that they bring to the table. ENTPs have exceptional qualities - it's quantifying307 their achievements and skills that presents the biggest challenge. But once they've got their foot in the door308, once they've got a willing ear309 higher in the hierarchy, the sky's the limit310.
ENTP in the Workplace
ENTPs have straightforward311 expectations in the workplace, but ones that aren't always easy to meet. Strong believers in meritocracy312, people with the ENTP personality type expect their ideas to be heard by those above them, expect robust debate among their peers, and demand that those they manage offer up313 new solutions and ideas regardless of314 their positions. While this isn't always how things play out in reality315, ENTPs know what to look for316, and can avoid those strictly hierarchical institutions that they would otherwise317 struggle with.
ENTP Subordinates
This dynamic is clearest with ENTP subordinates, as they are comfortable challenging their managers' ideas and have a strong (and well-expressed) dislike for restrictive rules318 and guidelines319. ENTPs back this unorthodox320 behavior with321 their keen322 minds and curiosity, and are as capable of adopting new methods as they are of suggesting others do so. If something can be done better, it's as simple as that, and ENTP personalities gladly take criticism323, so long as it's logical and performance-oriented324.
The biggest challenge for ENTP subordinates is that it is often the fate of the "lower" positions to implement the details, do the dirty work and follow through on325 plans set out by326 their managers. This couldn't be further from what ENTPs prefer to spend their time on - they can't stand simple, routine work, and monotonous tasks327 are the stuff of nightmares. Things go over328 much better if managers are able to properly utilize ENTPs' preference for tackling complex challenges329 and diverse projects.
ENTP Colleagues
It is as colleagues that ENTPs prove most polarizing330, as their passions for brainstorming, debate and over-analysis331 drive more practical, task-oriented332 colleagues crazy, but serve as stimulating333 inspiration for those who appreciate the innovation ENTPs bring. Nothing bothers people with the ENTP personality type more than getting out of a meeting where everyone agreed with the first plan presented, only to hear everyone complain about how stupid the plan was ten minutes later - but they "didn't want to make waves334". ENTPs strive for335 honest, direct and objective assessments336 of these ideas, so much so that they often earn reputations337 for their insensitivity338 and condescension339.
Luckily ENTPs know how to relax too, and their witty340 wordplay341, healthy sense of humor and outgoing nature win new friends quickly and easily. Always willing to draw on342 their repository of knowledge, conversations with ENTP personalities are informative343 and entertaining, which makes it easy for them to be the go-to344 person for tough problems that stump more rote345 approaches. Peer-to-peer relationships with ENTPs aren't always easy, but it's tough to argue that they don't work.
ENTP Managers
While not always their goal, management is often where ENTPs are most at home, allowing them the freedom to fiddle with346 different approaches and come up with347 innovative ways to tackle new challenges without having to handle the tedious348 step-by-step349 implementation of these plans. ENTPs are open-minded and flexible managers, not just granting but also expecting the same freedom of thought that they themselves enjoy. This can lead to disorder350, conflicting351 ideas and approaches being put forward352, but ENTPs are also great at accurately and objectively353 assessing which plan is likely to be most effective.
This doesn't always make friends, but being liked is less ENTPs' goal than being respected and seen as intelligent and capable. And liked or no, people with this personality type hold firm ground in rational debates, making them fearsome354 advocates for355 their teams. The challenge for ENTPs is focus, as they may find themselves jumping from project to project in a quest for356 challenge and excitement before their teams are able to wrap up357 the details of their existing goals and obligations358.
ENTP PERSONALITY - CONCLUSION
ENTPs' intelligence, curiosity and sound reasoning359 skills are a force to be reckoned with360. ENTPs will always be able to find just the right argument, the weakest chink361 in their opponent's armor, or the way out of a seemingly362 hopeless situation. Their fearsome debate skills and impressive knowledge allow ENTPs to overcome many challenges.
Yet ENTPs can be easily tripped up363 in areas where careful and rational thinking is more of a liability364 than an asset. Whether it is finding (or keeping) a partner, connecting with other people, reaching dazzling365 heights on the career ladder366 or forcing themselves to focus, ENTPs need to put in a conscious effort to develop their weaker traits and additional skills.
What you have read so far is just an introduction into the complex concept that is the ENTP personality type. You may have muttered to yourself367, "wow, this is so accurate it's a little creepy" or "finally, someone understands me!" You may have even asked "how do they know more about me than the people "I'm closest to?"
This is not a trick. You felt understood because you were. We've studied how ENTPs think and what they need to reach their full potential. And no, we did not spy on368 you - many of the challenges you've faced and will face in the future have been overcome by other ENTPs. You simply need to learn how they succeeded.
But in order to do that, you need to have a plan, a personal roadmap. The best car in the world will not take you to the right place if you do not know where you want to go. We have told you how ENTPs tend to behave in certain circumstances and what their key strengths and weaknesses are. Now we need to go much deeper into your personality type and answer "why?", "how?" and "what if?"
This knowledge is only the beginning of a lifelong journey369. Are you ready to learn why ENTPs act in the way they do? What motivates and inspires you? What you are afraid of and what you secretly dream about? How you can unlock370 your true, exceptional potential371?
