ENTP – The Visionary

Take the test: MBTI - Big Five (OCEAN)

Portrait

ENTPs' primary interest in life is understanding the world they live in. They are constantly absorbing ideas and images about situations that come their way. Because of their intuitive ability to process this information, they are usually very quick and accurate in their ability to gauge a situation. ENTPs have a better understanding of their environment than any other type, aside from their ENFP cousins.

This ability to intuitively understand people and situations gives ENTPs a distinct advantage in their lives. They typically understand things quickly and with great depth. They are therefore quite flexible and adapt well to a wide range of tasks. As they further develop their skills and intuitions, they are very resourceful at solving problems.

Their perceptive abilities lead them to see possibilities everywhere. They are passionate and enthusiastic about their ideas and are able to spread their enthusiasm to others. This gives them the support they need to carry out their visions.

They are less interested in developing action plans or making decisions than in generating possibilities and ideas. Following through on an idea is often a chore for them. For some, this translates into a habit of never finishing what they start. They need to think through their ideas fully.

Although they are more interested in absorbing information than in decision making, they are quite rational and logical in drawing conclusions. When they apply Thought to their intuitive perceptions, the result can be very powerful. An ENTP can be extremely visionary, inventive, and enterprising.

ENTPs are talkative, quick-witted, and enjoy engaging in dialogue with others. They enjoy debating and may even switch sides, sometimes just for the sake of debating.

The ENTP personality type is sometimes called the "lawyer" type. Their actions and decisions are based on a list of rules or laws. If the ENTP is defending someone who has committed a crime, they are able to exploit loopholes in the law to help them. If they win the case, they consider their action to be just because it is legal. The guilt or innocence of their client is of little importance to them. Because of this, they may be perceived by others as even dishonest.

Sensing and Feeling are the ENTP's weak points. He may tend to not pay attention to details or become too harsh and aggressive.

Under stress, ENTPs become obsessed with minor details that seem very important at the time.

In general, ENTPs are optimistic visionaries. They enjoy challenges and difficulties. When presented with a problem, they improvise and come up with a creative solution quickly. Creative, intelligent, curious, and theoretical, ENTPs have a wide range of possibilities in their lives.

Career

ENTPs can be successful in many different careers. They need a profession that allows them a lot of personal freedom and where they can use their creativity to generate new ideas and solve problems. They are not completely happy in subordinate positions.

Relationships

Generally good-natured, optimistic, and laid-back, ENTPs can be charming. They get a lot of pleasure and satisfaction from interacting with others. They especially enjoy discussing and debating theories and concepts that interest them. They may be prone to initiating arguments because they enjoy debate. They are generally cheerful and outgoing. They sometimes neglect their close relationships when they are involved in researching a new idea or plan.

Romantic relationships

ENTPs are constantly wondering how the relationship can be improved. They enthusiastically embrace new ideas and projects for themselves and their partner.

The ENTP's tendency to not follow through on their plans can be frustrating to their partner. Additionally, the ENTP's tendency to take risks can land the family in an uncomfortable financial situation.

Sexually, the ENTP is enthusiastic, attentive, and involved. They enjoy spontaneity rather than set schedules and fully embrace new ideas. They approach intimacy as a physical act rather than an opportunity to express affection.

ENTPs should be wary of their tendency to ignore what others are feeling.

The ENTP's natural partner is the INFJ or the INTJ.

As parents

There is a childish side to every ENTP. They approach parenting with fun, but with a serious goal: to foster the child's growth so that he or she can think logically and independently. They are sometimes contradictory. One minute they will have a great interest in their children, then inadvertently neglect them as soon as a big project presents itself.

As friends

ENTPs get along with almost any other type of person. They are flexible and easy-going. They really enjoy interacting with others.

They surround themselves with people who are intelligent, capable, and full of ideas. They love to engage in debate with someone who can stand up to them. Sometimes they fall into overbidding, which can jeopardize some of their relationships.

Financial independence

ENTPs are good at making money. They have a rational, impersonal relationship with it and are good at taking calculated risks in this area. While they are good at creating wealth, they are generally less good at managing accumulated capital, due to their Perceiving preference.

Due to their temperament, with their taste for debating with others and the energy they draw from their relationships, they generally like to be immersed in the professional world, which stimulates them. They are therefore generally not interested in becoming financially independent, at least not to get away from work. Their taste for possibilities and original ideas may nevertheless push them to delve a little deeper into the subject.
