ENTP: "the debater"

Extraverted Intuitive Thinking Perceiving

I've taken the Myers-Briggs personality test many times and I almost always get the ENTP personality type as my result but I also test as an ESTP sometimes too.

Here's the link to the test I took: https://www.16personalities.com/free-personality-test


ENTP's are flexible, quick-thinkers who naturally take charge in social situations, are confident in their abilities, and aren't afraid to say so. They are smooth-talking entertainers and are known to love to argue about pretty much anything and everything. They typically struggle with failing to consider other people's emotions when making decisions and often forget that not everybody has as thick a skin as they do.

I personally relate to many of the ENTP characteristics and believe that this Myers-Briggs type is very similar to my own personality. I especially relate the ENTP's tendency to value logic over emotion when making decisions and their inability to remain focused on a task for a long time.

One of the characteristics of an ENTP that does not match my personality is their tendency to get caught up chasing new ideas no matter the consequences. When I start a project, I'm going to finish it and not let my time and effort go to waste. This discrepancy makes sense because that specific characteristic relates to the "N" and that was my most neutral category
