One trait I've noticed among ENTPs is we often are more interested in spreading our ideas than setting up reasonable ways to get paid for those ideas.
For example, I used to do consulting projects where one of the INFJ sales people felt I gave away too much good information. I really didn't care, because I felt like I was impacting clients, and an extra 5 or 10% in my pocket wasn't going to make a huge difference.
INTPs often do the same thing, and in my experience, can be even less materialistic than ENTPs.
Overall, I often feel like I'm much better naturally at giving than taking, and notice this among other ENTPs. While INTJs are often good at both, and better able to balance the two. Wondering if others have had experiences like this.
