And this is the point. I don't condescend to anyone, I just speak in their comfort zone. I can cross into nastier tones if that's what I'm faced with, but I never lead with that.
Well, I can be quite condescending and intimidating, but that's only a tactic, another ENTP trick. I can switch immediately to diplomacy, if required, and especially if I'm interested.
I guess another difference between INTPs and ENTPs is what motivate them. I'd say INTPs are often tempted to show the outer perfection of their thoughts and systems, and that they use debates as a way to constantly refine them; while ENTPs simply prefer to "get out of boredoom" (as I previously wrote). They argue just for the sake of it, and playing the devil's advocate is their second nature.
ENTPs as I see them, are arrogant only on the surface, rarely on the core.
