[ENTP] Ask an ENTP!

[Riva]

could someone teach me how to become a entp in 30 days or less?

 

[guesswho]

Why would you want to be ENTP?

 

[bionic]

Is this a serious question or is it you that is different ? ( Since my last infraction I am not allowed to use the word retarded no more -.- )

It was a serious question.

So you want to fail at life in 30 days? Why did you choose being an ENTP? Heroin or crystal meth could do it quicker.

First thing to do: exercise your Ne. Get interested in the weirdest things. Try to apply MBTI to inanimate objects. Invent some science-fiction (or fantasy) universes, starting with an "what if" question. What if, in contrast to the Thinker dystopias which are numerous in SF and where the poor main character is in a desperate search for true love; the future is a totally emotional, warm and cuddly (but also very dangerous and of course, inconsistent) place where a poor main character is in desperate search to make some sense out of it? What if all energy resources are used up and the remnants of humanity try to scrape by? What if a genetic defect causes only women to be born, making sperm a rare and valuable resource, with men being herded for it?
Get out to do that. Be inspired by the surroundings, by the people you discuss with (discuss everything with everybody! you want to be an E!)...

Ideas are the staple food of an ENTP. Not the valuable resource some people think they are. It's a staple, it's abundant. Never mind the fact that you'll be only realizing one out of million. You've got more than plenty of them.

So you want to fail at life in 30 days? Why did you choose being an ENTP? Heroin or crystal meth could do it quicker.

Ne is a cheaper drug. I've never understood why people needed chemicals to create the visions I can create on my own.

Does being ignored piss off ENTPs? Why?

Yeah, I thought being ignored pissed off everyone though. But in my case it's because I need to observe that constand stimulus-response interaction to see how the world works. If you ignore me, then you're messing with my system.

Hi ENTPs,

Do you use a GPS in your car?

Made a little tutorial.

Hi ENTPs,

Do you use a GPS in your car?

I prefer navigating on maps, but when I am the driver obviously a GPS works better than having to stop and look on the map.

True fact: I set my dads GPS to do a little victory tune every time the car goes over the speed limit!

Hi ENTPs,
Do you use a GPS in your car?

Not me, I prefer to look at a map. When I'm together with my husband, either of us drives and the other gives directions; both work quite well. When I'm alone, I memorize the names of the cities I've got to pass. In Belgium, the direction of the highways is signalled by the major city you're driving to, not by the compass. When we visited the USA, we had to adapt... (We want to go to Boulder... There's nowhere a sign with Boulder on?! Only compass directions? Okay, take north! But the highway only says east or west! Er...??)

Price correlates with speed, which is also a drug! Ha!

Do you use a GPS in your car?

Yeah, if it's a road trip. If I'm in a city I know, I love the feeling of knowing what I'm doing/where I am. I especially enjoy finding new roads that lead to familiar ones! Exploring is tons of fun.

If humans had to leave earth and could only bring 3 organisms along for the ride (not including any symbiotic flora we carry in and on our bodies), which ones would you bring?

Assume we undergo the travel in stasis and arrive on a habitable, earth-like planet.

Bees, guinea pigs & steak cows

Bees: Because Einstein said if the bees go extinct, humans will as well a couple of years later.

Guinea pigs: We need test animals.

Steak Cows: They taste delicious.

1. Fruit-producing tree (Apple or some sort of citrus)
2. Bees
3. Cow

1 would be able to reproduce more trees, thus providing more oxygen if needed (and it would feel like home, in a sense) 2 and 3 same reasons as above post (plus there's milk...should always have milk and honey)

Some amoebas. The other ones are meshed too much with each other - those bees are needed for pollinating our crops, for example. If we carry bees but no crops, nothing is gained.
The only method for continuing life is sacrificing the humans and taking along primitive life which can start a new evolution.
And if you wanted to get a less matter-of-fact and more warm and loving answer, ask an ENFP.

There are two sorts of people in the world I'm comfortable with: total strangers and friends. Aquaintances are awkward.

well hey thar. kudzu; kudzu-friendly amoebas; and... well, bees are fine. i like bees. i like honey. and einstein is not someone whose opinion i take lightly.

though i think this answer has more to do with living in the american South than being an F

i like ENTPs

totally agree!

Do you insult people subtly so that they don't notice? Or like, you intend it as an insult but you know they won't perceive it as one?

I know someone (a suspected ENTP) that does this, it's hilarious.

 

[guesswho]

I insult people ...and I don't even realize it...then ...they give me the look....and I start thinking...oh...what did I say now

My friend (ENTP) totally does this. I only think it, and I have developed a wonderful pokerface. It's like a comedy duo, with an audience of 1, always.
