With Extraverted Intuition dominating their personality, the ENTP's primary interest in life is understanding the world that they live in. They are constantly absorbing ideas and images about the situations they are presented in their lives. Using their intuition to process this information, they are usually extremely quick and accurate in their ability to size up a situation. With the exception of their ENFP cousin, the ENTP has a deeper understanding of their environment than any of the other types.
This is me.
This ability to intuitively understand people and situations puts the ENTP at a distinct advantage in their lives. They generally understand things quickly and with great depth. Accordingly, they are quite flexible and adapt well to a wide range of tasks. They are good at most anything that interests them. As they grow and further develop their intuitive abilities and insights, they become very aware of possibilities, and this makes them quite resourceful when solving problems.
This does sound like me.
ENTPs are fluent conversationalists, mentally quick, and enjoy verbal sparring with others. They love to debate issues, and may even switch sides sometimes just for the love of the debate. When they express their underlying principles, however, they may feel awkward and speak abruptly and intensely.
I can do this if I want to, I have trolled a few times but I rarely do it. I don't have the energy. But the second part, that's not me. I usually express myself very clearly unless I'm tired or something
And I try to make my point as good as possible and eliminate any chance of a counter-argument right there and then. I think before I respond, usually.
If the ENTP was defending someone who had actually committed a crime, they are likely to take advantage of quirks in the law that will get their client off the hook. If they were to actually win the case, they would see their actions as completely fair and proper to the situation, because their actions were lawful. The guilt or innocence of their client would not be as relevant.
This is not me at all, it's probably one of the reasons I was hesitant to every becoming a lawyer. That and I couldn't be fucking bothered to study hard in high-school (something I regret though)
I don't want a job where my morals are co-dependent with my income, fuck that.
Under stress, the ENTP may lose their ability to generate possibilities, and become obsessed with minor details. These details may seem to be extremely important to the ENTP, but in reality are usually not important to the big picture.
Not me either, I can usually tell the important from the unimportant.
In general, ENTPs are upbeat visionaries. They highly value knowledge, and spend much of their lives seeking a higher understanding. They live in the world of possibilities, and become excited about concepts, challenges and difficulties. When presented with a problem, they're good at improvising and quickly come up with a creative solution. Creative, clever, curious, and theoretical, ENTPs have a broad range of possibilities in their lives.
This however is me, I love seeking higher understanding and I'm sure I'm pretty damned creative. lol reading this description I wonder if Macgyver was an ENTP.
But the ENFJ sounds more like me to be honest. In general. I'm a lover not a lawyer.
