Using big words is one thing, actually acting upon it is another.
I dont think that being an entp actually prevents you from making bad decisions in life.
I just read what tink said and commented on it, nothing more.
Thats Ok, I am more flexible than that, I do value my time right now as a single person, but that doesn't include valuing my time within relationships. I know you have issue over there, but I'm less fixed than the phrase perhaps sounded.
I'm prone to look at the time yet still end up late. Does that count??!
In someone's thread that was posted here, an ENTP was described somewhat like that. That is, the "kid" that "leeches" of his big-time parents' wealth.
Being an INTP myself with strong E and Fi, I often associate myself, and to a certain extent, empathize with ENTPs, ENFPs, and INFPs. They're the other archetypes that I can easily relate to other than my own.
I thought that it was a smart statement. I know a significant number of ENxPs myself and this is something that I observed to be true, but for the fear of having a hasty inductive reasoning, I tend to overlook, sometimes ignore, that observation.

Basic profile would be something like this.
Has a good bearing. You know that the person is considerably educated. The person is considerably articulate and you'll know immediately that he came from a good family background in terms of affluence.
But closer inspection will show you the difference. The person dresses more casually. He isn't the one who would readily acknowledge his parents' wealth (maybe because the accusation of leeching is bad enough).
He knows the mindset of a person who has a strong Te, but in reality, he's really anti-corporate himself (sometimes even advocates socialism) and would even advocate the path to least resistance (Ti).
I have a hunch that if the ENxP person grew up in a Te heavy family, he might see something wrong with the cognitive process (e.g., Te's advocacy of THE ENDS JUSTIFIES THE MEANS), therefore, consequently making himself advocate the polar opposite = Process over results (Ti), or maybe to some people, Fi (the known weak cognitive process of someone having a strong Te).
Did any ENxP here feel that at some point (assuming that your parents could be rich Te monsters), you need to develop whatever weakness they have so that there'd be a sense of equilibrium in the family?

Anyway, I know that NP is quite childish. At first, it was hard for me to embrace this (even if it may be inherent) because I was taught responsibility in life (SJ) way too early. I think this may have caused a sort of drawback in me later in life by rekindling a childish playroom I wish I have more of. I think that's part of what makes me NTP now.
im pretty spoiled, only child... so yeah
Yes - Eck is right, I meant maturing into full blown adulhood. Right now you are moving toward young adulhood. But after that you move into mature adulthood, marry, have kids, have a stable job, be a real grown up....
Difficult for P types...
Eck I'm with you time you spend before you settle is a treasure....
I'm totally bummed, I can't for the life of me see the bit about baby/kids thinking being unstructured wich allows a wider understanding... I only read it about 10 days ago... really annoying....
Are none of you ENTP type going to add to the useless information thread (not a lot of people know that).... I'd have thought you lot would have a ton of useless info....
What do you do with a bunch of ENTPs on a thread together? You ask a really odd question. Sorry I'm way off topic now...
Guys what do you think the equivelent of "the world is flat" for our times is? What do you think in the future will be shown to be mind blowingly wrong...
Like we assuming thought is in the brain or something ....
