This is an invitation for all members to compile information on ENTP-problem-areas in the interest of ENTP-self improvement. Anecdotes, analysises, excercises, all are welcome as long as it deals with ENTP problems/ and growth.
And remember: Just because a type has a potential problem area, it doesn't mean that you, the actual person necessarily suffers from this problem, even if you are that type.
The classics
Can't follow through on projects
One-Upmanship
Social Machiavellinism
Intellectually superficial and unreliable
Over-competitive, pressuring others for fun
Conjure up far-out connections between ideas that as perhaps not really connected (Foucault is a good example here)
Prone to grow bored with a stable partner
Impatient, ever so very impatient
Poor external judgment, better at understanding others points of view than their own.
Take big risks
Also I make exceedingly insensitive jokes and then mock people when they tell me that I did so. It usually consists of the following:
1. Joke of poor taste
2. Complaint
3. "well you shouldn't be so damn sensitive"
4. "and neither should anyone else this whole country is full of..."
5. perhaps an anecdote to prove my point, which I am of course, incontrovertibly correct about.
They actually say out loud the crazy shit we INTPs think.
Once again, I am stranded between being an INTJ or an ENTP. Every time I'm around people, I'm extremely bouncy and witty like an ENTP, and people think I'm really funny. But at the same time, I never really had an interest in things like parties -- all of my relations took place at either work or at school. I'm pretty much a loner, but I don't think strangers have ever perceived me as an introvert.
I'm so confused...I hate not being able to identify myself...
