No, I don't, but that's generally because I hang around with people who are awkwardly silent or talk more than me
I can't speak for your friend, but if INTPs were only around to amuse ENTJs, many of us would hire someone else. Not to say that you don't have your moments, of course.Awkward silence... Amusingly, the only time I feel my silence is awkward is when I'm around the ENTJ I know. I feel like I'm expected to amuse him, and as I seldom do anything because it's expected of me, I tend to clam up. Other times I toss him a topic on which he can expound nonstop for 10 or 15 minutes (although 5 minutes in I generally start sending telepathic STFU messages).
Silence - noun
1. The condition or quality of being or keeping still and silent.
2. The absence of sound; stillness.
3. A period of time without speech or noise.
It's a good thing.
The only time I go on a rant is if the topic of conversation depends on a concept that is consistently defined vaguely or incorrectly. Otherwise, I realize that it's far more prudent to let the other participants wear themselves out, meanwhile possibly acting as moderator if anyone rudely dominates, and then offer my two cents.
Not in person, no. Ranting is reserved for clarification. Or emotional outbursts. But the latter doesn't happen in conversation, it just occasionally appears out of thin air, usually to my roommate.Thats not true. You go on rant about totally logical concepts too, just because they hit you. You are ENT after all

Do you get into trouble because you talk too much?

Fair enough, just bear in mind; at least with NTs, sometimes clarification isnt necessary, cause the thing to clarify is obvious. Therefore a funny remark would be much more cooler.
Mind clarifying that statement?
Rex: the cleansing power of ranting is agreed, but if I do it in public, it feels conspicuously like clipping your toenails at the dinner table.
