Myers Briggs ENTP - Characteristics
-
Myers Briggs ENTP has been described variously as the innovator, the originator,
the lawyer, the inventor, the explorer, and the visionary. They also
fall into the general categories of thinkers, rationals, and engineers.
-
Using their primary function-attitude of extraverted intuition they are
quick to see complex interrelationships between people, things, and
ideas. These interrelationships are analysed in profound detail through
their auxiliary function, introverted thinking.
-
The result is an in-depth understanding of the way things and
relationships work, and how they can be improved. To this type,
competence and intelligence are particularly prized, both in themselves
and in other people.
-
They are frequently described as clever, cerebrally and verbally quick,
enthusiastic, outgoing, innovative, flexible, loyal and resourceful.
-
They 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 humour and sometimes play devil's advocate,
which can create misunderstandings with friends, co-workers, and family.
-
They are ingenious and adept at directing relationships between means
and ends. They "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
they 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.
