ENTP Description
by Marina Margaret Heiss
"Clever" is the word that perhaps describes ENTPs best. The professor who juggles half a dozen ideas for
research papers and grant proposals in his mind while giving a highly entertaining lecture on an abstruse
subject is a classic example of the type. So is the stand-up comedian whose lampoons are both funny
and incisively accurate.
ENTPs are usually verbally as well as cerebrally quick, and generally love to argue--both for its own sake,
and to show off their debating skills. ENTPs tend to have a perverse sense of humor as well, and enjoy
playing devil's advocate. This sometimes confuses, even angers, those who don't understand or accept
the concept of argument as a sport.
ENTPs are as innovative and ingenious at problem-solving as they are at verbal gymnastics; on occasion,
however, they manage to outsmart themselves. ENTPs can be prone to "sharp practice" – especially
cutting corners without regard to the rules if it's expedient – or, their juggling acts may simply be so
over-ambitious they collapse.
Both at work and at home, ENTPs are very fond of "toys" -- physical or intellectual, the more
sophisticated the better. Once these have been "solved" or become too familiar, however, they’ll be
replaced with new ones.
ENTPs are basically optimists, but in spite of this (perhaps because of it?), they can become petulant
about small setbacks and inconveniences. (Major setbacks they regard as challenges, and tackle with
determination.) ENTPs have little patience with those they consider wrongheaded or unintelligent, and
show little restraint in demonstrating this. In general, however, they are genial, even charming, when
not being harassed by life.
In terms of their relationships with others, ENTPs are capable of bonding very closely and suddenly with
their loved ones. Some appear deceptively offhand with their nearest and dearest; others are so
demonstrative that they succeed in shocking co-workers who've only seen their professional side. ENTPs
are also quick to spot a kindred spirit, and good at acquiring friends of similar temperament and
interests.
ENTPs may sometimes give the impression of being largely oblivious to the rest of humanity except as
an audience: good, bad, or potential. In general this is unfair – but it can be difficult to get an ENTP’s
attention when they’re not immediately aware of you, especially for an Introvert.
The best approach in communicating with an ENTP is to be straightforward. No games – they’ll win. No
"pulling rank" – they’ll just want to put you in your place. No apologies – you’ll undermine yourself. Try
"I need/want to talk to you."
Functional Analysis Of The ENTP
Based on Jung’s framework of mental functions - by Joe Butt

Extraverted iNtuition
ENTPs are nothing if not unique. Brave new associations flow freely from the unconscious into the world
of the living. Making, discovering and developing connections between and among two or more of
anything is virtually automatic. The product of intuition is merely an icon of process; ENTPs are in the
business of change, improvement, experimentation.
The attraction Extraverted iNtuition has toward the real and physical amounts to a cosmic non sequitur:
theory is drawn to practice. Such encounters are clearly puzzling. Both parties--the intuitor and the
realist--are aware of a xenic quality in their meeting, with reactions ranging from recoil to reverie.

Introverted Thinking
Thinking is iNtuition's ready assistant, an embodiment of the sort of logic found in laws, boards and
circuits. Thinking's job is to lend focus and direction to iNtuition's critical mass. The temporary
habitations of changeling iNtuition are constructed of Boolean materials from Thinking's storehouse.
Ultimately, Thinking is no match for iNtuition's prodigiousness. Systems lie in various states of disarray,
fragmentary traces of Thinking's feverish attempts to shadow and undergird the leaps of the dominant
function. One can only suppose that Thinking must continue to work during REM sleep pulling together
iNtuition's brainchildren into integral wholes.

Extraverted Feeling
To the extent that Feeling is developed, ENTPs extravert Feeling judgment. As a result, it is not
uncommon to find affability and bonhomie in members of this species. Tertiary functions are potentially
utilitarian. Their limitations appear in their relative underdevelopment, diminished endurance, and
vulnerability. ENTPs may harness Feeling's good will in areas such as sales, service, drama, humor and
art. ENTP loyalty often runs high and can be hooked by those the ENTP counts as friends.

Introverted Sensing
Like a tail on the kite of iNtuition, Introverted Sensing counterweighs these beings drawn to
nonconformity and anarchy. These shadowy sensory forms, so familiar to SJ types, serve as lodestones
which many ENTPs employ Herculean measures to escape. "Question authority! (then do exactly what it
tells you)" sums up the dilemma in which ENTPs may find themselves by attempting to best the tarbaby
Sensing. Occasionally acknowledging awareness of norms and abnormality could, in theory, be
potentially freeing.
Additionally, I've noticed that ENTPs have the need to have areas of expertise/excellence/uniqueness in
which one is second to none. I've never beaten an ENTP at his/her own game--not in the final analysis.
(e.g., just tonight, my neighbor who is recuperating from an illness received a call from an ENTP friend
offering his special recipe for tea. The instructions required only the finest ingredients, a particular
brand of orange juice, tea made with a ball--none of those horrid teabags--..., which will of course make
the best tea of which he himself drinks 50 gallons each winter!)
Are You a Procrastinator?
As with many self-sabotaging behaviors, the first step in stopping procrastinating is to recognize that
you're doing it.
But this isn't always as straightforward as it sounds!
Many procrastinators persuade themselves that they have good reasons for delaying getting on with
what they have to do. And once you've got into a "victim" mindset (which many procrastinators do), you
may not realize that what you're doing is procrastinating, and that it's up to you to overcome it.

46-75 Good news! You're not a systematic procrastinator! If you do, however, occasionally catch
yourself procrastinating over something, follow the link below for tips on dealing with this.
31-45 You're a mild procrastinator. You need to understand better why you procrastinate – there are
several reasons, for it, and more than one may apply to you. And you need to learn the steps you can
take to stop doing it. Click the link below for more information.
15-30 You're a procrastinator, and it's not something to be proud of. It means that you miss deadlines
and waste a lot of time. As a result, your boss is not getting from you what you're capable of delivering,
and he or she is probably very frustrated with this. Follow the link below to to find out why you're doing
this, and how you can stop it.

My Assessment: My Road Map to a Big Dream
Life is so diverse and complicated. It is like a map with countless roads to take and
numerous signs to read. Knowing and understanding yourself clearly points you to
the direction where you want to be, how long you want to do it, how are you
going to get there and why do you want to be there. It is the starting point of
everyone in their lifelong journey to be better. It’s like creating your own road
map. In my case, I started my road map here in Canada through a series of
assessments.
Firstly, I answered the Discovery Wheel to identify my strength and weakness in
different areas of learning. It shows that my strong point was purpose and my
weak spot was money. It is so true because I came here to Canada for a reason, I
came here with a big dream to accomplish, I came here to help to improve my
career and help my family financially. With regards to money, I don’t have a clear
picture of the financial resources available to me to pay for my education. My
parents and my aunt shoulder my tuition together with the cost of living for the
whole duration of the program. This is really a great sacrifice in their part so, I
need to strive hard and study well to bring home the bacon for them. At the same
time, I need to work part-time while studying to augment some of my financial
needs. I am so thankful to God for having them and at this point in time, I would
like to extend my deepest gratitude to them for their undying moral, spiritual and
financial support.
Secondly, I discovered myself as a learner through the Vark Questionnaire and my
results was Visual: 8, Aural: 2, Read/Write: 2, Kinesthetic: 12 and I have a mild
Kinesthetic learning preference. When the results showed, I thought to myself “I
knew it.” I prefer kinesthetic because doing it and experiencing it first hand has a
greater chance of retention in my mind. For instance, in our skills practical exam,
before I can perform it I needed to use the other three preferences before I
memorize the sequence. So, I believe that the best way of learning things and
lessons was a combination of those four preferences.
Thirdly, The Humanmetrics Jung Typology Test which identified my personality
type. After I answered a lot of yes or no questions the test reveals that I am an
ENTP person (Extravert(1%) iNtuitive(25%) Thinking(50%) Perceiving(22%). Our
personality reflects who we are and what we do. The most noticeable result here
is that me as a 1% extravert. Normally, I don’t start the conversation with meeting
new people and, honestly, I got butterflies in my stomach whenever I speak in
front of a lot of audience and I have a hard time sharing my feelings with
somebody. But even if I knew that, I am trying to get over it and still try to do it so
that I will be exposed to that and subconsciously, my mind and body adapts to it
little by little.
Lastly, the Are You A Procrastinator Test which measures my self-sabotaging
behaviours. My total score was 48. It was a relief that I am not a procrastinator
because I thought I am one though it was just 3 points above the mild
procrastinator ceiling. Sometimes I don’t finish my scheduled work or stuff to be
done because I have so many excuses in myself. For instance, my favorite excuse
was “There is still lot of time to do that so I will just do it tomorrow.” I get easily
distracted by unplanned things so there is a high tendency that I procrastinate.
My strategy for this was prioritization. I need to finish the most important things
first so that when I get distracted I already did them.
These assessments are all essential in my learning experience here at Niagara
College towards achieving my big dream. Assessing and evaluating myself, where
am I right now and where am I heading, periodically using these methods is
important in order to not to lose track. A big dream is what I have and living this
dream is what I ought to do. The privilege to study a post-graduate certificate at
Niagara College is a once in a lifetime opportunity and a chance for me to reach
my big dream. This is a one big step on my life’s journey and I will surely make the
most it.
These assessment creates my road map to be better. Knowing the starting point
results to a big leap forward to my road map. All you need is the plan and the
courage and action to press on to your destination. Unfortunately, if you happen
to choose the wrong road, you must realize it, turn-back and walk back to the
right road. The road to success is not easy to navigate, but with hard work,
fortitude and determination, it's possible to achieve my big dream.
