[ENTP] ENTP's: Explain how you are different from ENFP please

[You]

With Colbert I have to guess INFP. To me Stewarts the sterotypical enfp..I think its pretty obvious when someone prefers Fi over Ti! He kinda reminds me of Zach Braff sometimes... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQvBfH3ZcKQ

Jon Stewart reminds you of Zach Braff? The guy from Scrubs? I commend the forgone simulatedworld in devolving any sense of reality in this MBTI typing process, and unwittingly debasing the Comedy Central satire duo, but lets get real. Jon Stewart is an ENTP - follow his track record, watch his stand-up, note his positioning and it'll be obvious as bird shit on a black car. On the other end there is the farcical Stephen Colbert whom rarely drops the mask. He is an INFx - I lean to the INFP side, but quite possibly a J.

But what I'm more interested in is why you necro'd this thread.

Didn't notice it was so old. Yea the guy from scrubs! He has that ENFP "silly switch". If you watch his interviews it'll be "as obvious as bird shit on a black car" that he prefers Te over Ti.

I reckon ENFPs seem like the sort who like to think they're rational rather than emotional but when they get criticised everyone knows what they are. Love you guys by the way.

They can be rational. If you look up ENFP careers you'll get lawyer for a reason. When they are in touch with Te they can take on any NT in a debate.
Jon Stewarts book http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth_(The_Book):_A_Visitor%27s_Guide_to_the_Human_Race also suggests extroverted thinking.. breadth > depth.

I didn't mean that they can't be rational, I just mean that they are more governed by emotions than they think. I think any F can be rational.

Zach does. Jon Stewart does not. If a person thinks Jon Stewart has less in common with say a George Carlin than Robin Williams then I'd doubt they've heard of any of the three.

lol I know you didn't mean that. That was more in reply to those posters that think feelers can't look like rationals.

I was too lazy to search for a post of mine in this thread, but I am convinced I have said it, the difference is:

How about an ENXP? Personally, I'd love to be able to switch between F and T like you

Only thing better than INxP is ENxP.

ENxP - Dependable
INxP - Undependable

It's a fact LadyX. If you could turn to only one person for help, tell me would it be a INxP?

If infps are undependable to you its because they prolly dont care about you. That is completly different if they do. I wouldnt ever accuse an infp of being undependable, most of them make it a point to be dependable and you could hurt them rather hard by saying that they dont.

Intps are not undependable as well. If they dont show up for the meeting its prolly because they had to smoke that joint or to read that newspaper article til the end. Key here is to always have their phone number and a good hunch for when a call would be inapropiate. By calls at unusual times or moments they get so shocked that they immediatly take the telephone, et voila: there is your contact

i have both in my life and they can both be equally undependable and dependable.

I am sorry for dragging the thread off topic.

Anyway, the question still remains, if you could turn to only one person for help when you need it the most, tell me would it be an INxP?

Well, if I'd be turning to an enfp my infp could interprete that as cheating

 

[Lady_X]

my bf is an infp and he's there when i need him to be.

That's why he's your BF . Anyway I am dragging this topic off topic and I don't like it. I think it's best it I or someone else should start a thread to discuss this matter.

*Ponders*

ENTPs cannot explain themselves as well as ENFPs can.
