##MBTI Personality Type: ENTP – Visionary ENTPs are inspired innovators who actively seek new solutions to intellectually challenging problems. They are curious, intelligent, and seek to understand the people, systems, and principles around them. Open-minded and unconventional, eager to analyze, understand and influence others.
###ENTP Personality Type ENTP likes to use their creativity and especially like to joke with others. They use their wit and command of language to maintain an advantage, often gleefully mocking the habits and quirks of others. While ENTPs enjoy challenging others, in the end they usually enjoy life and let themselves go. They are rarely biased, but may be impatient with those who cannot keep up with their thinking. ###What does ENTP stand for? ENTP is an acronym used to describe one of sixteen personality types created by Katherine Briggs and Isabel Myers. It stands for extroversion, intuition, thinking and sensing. ENTPs are people who are energized by time with others (extroversion), focus on ideas and concepts rather than facts and details (intuition), make decisions based on logic and reason (thinking), and more Prefers spontaneity and flexibility over planning and organization (Perception). ENTPs are sometimes called visionaries because of their passion for new, innovative ideas. ###ENTP Values and Motivations ENTPs are challenging and often inspired by problems that others consider unsolvable. They are confident in their ability to think creatively and may believe that others are too stuck in tradition to see new approaches. Visionaries rely on their ingenuity to cope with the world around them, requiring little preparation. They will often jump into a new environment and believe they can adapt to it. Masters of reinventing the wheel, ENTPs often refuse to complete a task the same way twice. They question norms and often ignore them entirely. Established procedures are unattractive to visionaries who would rather try a new approach (or two) than follow standards. ###How others view ENTPs ENTPs are usually very friendly and always have an attractive charisma. They desire to be seen as intelligent and try to impress others through their witty and sharp humor. They are curious about the world around them and want to figure out how things work. However, for ENTPs, the rules of the universe are meant to be broken. They enjoy finding loopholes and figuring out how to exploit systems to their advantage. That doesn’t mean they’re malicious: they’ve just discovered the limitations of the rules and believe there might be a better, faster, or more interesting way to do a job they’d never thought of before. ENTPs have an entrepreneurial spirit and are often quick to share new business ideas or inventions. Confident and creative, they are usually happy to discuss their many clever ideas. ENTPs have an infectious enthusiasm for innovation and are adept at involving others in their plans. However, they are essentially “big picture” people and may feel squirmed when recalling or describing details. They are often more interested in exploring a concept than turning it into reality, and can appear unreliable if they don’t put many of their ideas into practice.

###ENTP Strengths FEARLESS. One of the ENTP’s greatest strengths and keys to success is their courage in the face of challenges. These people are not afraid of trying and failing, maybe even thousands of times; they don’t see it as failure, but just another step toward success. When they invent and innovate, they are not intimidated by doubt. They are rarely upset when results don’t go as planned, and they view all “problems” as opportunities that can be accepted and pursued. Innovation. As with all things—products, procedures, and systems—ENTPs know there’s always a better way, and with the right mindset, they’ll get there. As a result, they may suffer many seemingly failures in life, but also enjoy many successes. They can be very wealthy and yet lose their life savings—perhaps a few times in their lifetime. They live loud and take risks. Adaptability. ENTPs are usually people who go with the flow. This does not mean that they are particularly easy-going people, but that they can adapt to their own environment and problems that arise in life and work. ENTPs can improvise and come up with creative solutions quickly. They cope well with fast pace and frequent change and enjoy the challenges that come with it. confidence. Generally speaking, criticism and rejection have little effect on ENTPs. They are confident in their skills and talents and believe in the power of their ideas. Opposition is to be expected on the road to success, and they don’t take it seriously; they would rather prove their critics wrong. ###ENTP’s weakness is frivolous. Strengths can easily turn into weaknesses, as can be seen in ENTPs and their idea-generating nature. While this may be the ENTP’s greatest strength, it can also mean that the ENTP can be erratic, jumping from one idea to the next and struggling to stick to it. Their fear of missing out makes it difficult to stick with an idea or path; they prefer to continue exploring and evaluating. unrealistic. Because of their tendency to get lost in their own thoughts, ENTPs often neglect the immediate tasks around them, such as housework, yard work, and other responsibilities of daily life, such as paying bills. They can be highly intelligent, but they can also be disorganized and seemingly uninhibited. break the usual. Disobedience, while it can be a positive trait, can often get ENTPs into trouble. Their entire lifestyle is based on charting their own course, pushing boundaries, and doing things their own way. While this can lead to great creativity and advancement in their fields, it can also put them into conflict with authority figures and superiors, which in turn can hinder their progress and hinder their success. The words “incorrigible” and “stubborn” are not out of place when describing the typical ENTP. Procrastination. ENTPs are also known for their tendency to procrastinate and have poor time management. In part, this is a product of their way of thinking, where they prefer to keep getting information rather than making a decision and starting action. The problem isn’t necessarily laziness, but rather an unwillingness to stop taking in ideas and information to advance an idea or a decision. They have difficulty prioritizing tasks and struggle to prevent new information and ideas from getting in the way of the task at hand. More details:
###Growth and Development of ENTPs To reach their full potential, ENTPs should: Do a little more research. ENTPs tend to jump quickly into new projects and ideas. While this enthusiastic “all in” quality can be a strength, it can also be detrimental if they don’t pay enough attention to detail or fail to pull their weight. Therefore, ENTPs can help avoid wasting time and money by taking a step back and investigating. Attention to detail. As big-picture people and conceptual thinkers, this type of person focuses on broad themes, patterns, and important big projects, often letting details get overlooked. However, details—while little more than a nuisance to the ENTP—are often essential. ENTPs will do well to recognize that details often end up taking more time if overlooked or ignored. Learn to follow rules and structure. Rules are not made to be broken, contrary to the ENTP’s belief, and those who follow them should not be looked down upon as thoughtless or foolish. These boundaries provide order. If everyone ignored them, we would be living in a very different environment. ENTPs will get along better at work and in society if they can try to respect authority and follow the rules. Persistence. ENTPs come up with so many different ideas and interesting options that they just want to explore them all. While this can be an asset, it can also prevent them from continuing the job at hand. At some point, in order to maximize effectiveness, the ENTP needs to make a decision on a course of action, map out the steps to completion, and then take action. Distinguish between reality and fiction. ENTPs often fail to accurately distinguish between these two categories, and therefore may spend considerable resources pursuing something that, while possible, is fundamentally impossible. Such people should pay more attention to the feasibility of various ideas when considering various options.
