Myers-Briggs personality type: ENTP / Monday, July 13, 2009
Extraverted, Intuitive, Thinking, Perceptive
Thanks to Bonnie for discovering this quizz, I was actually really impressed with the result! =O Because I've never really thought I belonged to a set personality type, I was doubly impressed when I researched and found validity with its source.
It turns out I'm a ENTP.
The ENTP has been described variously as the innovator,[11] the originator,[12] the lawyer,[13] the inventor,[14] the explorer,[15] and the visionary.[13] ENTPs also fall into the general categories of thinkers, rationals, and engineers.[16] Using their primary function-attitude of extraverted intuition (Ne), ENTPs are quick to see complex interrelationships between people, things, and ideas. These interrelationships are analyzed in profound detail through the ENTPs auxiliary function, introverted thinking (Ti). The result is an in-depth understanding of the way things and relationships work, and how they can be improved. To the ENTP, competence and intelligence are particularly prized, both in themselves and in other people.
ENTPs are frequently described as clever, cerebrally and verbally quick, enthusiastic, outgoing, innovative, flexible, loyal and resourceful. ENTPs are motivated by a desire to understand and improve the world they live in. They are usually accurate in sizing up a situation. They may have a perverse sense of humor and sometimes play devil's advocate, which can create misunderstandings with friends, coworkers, and family. ENTPs are ingenious and adept at directing relationships between means and ends. ENTPs "think outside the box," devising fresh, unexpected solutions to difficult problems. However, they are less interested in generating and following through with detailed plans than in generating ideas and possibilities. When ENTPs are used correctly on a team, they offer deep understanding and a high degree of flexibility and problem solving ability. The ENTP regards a comment like "it can't be done" as a personal challenge, and, if properly motivated, will spare no expense to discover a solution.
