go with the flow and poke them(mentally or even physically if you want to), engage Ne with Ti/Ne style wit and be silly, but not stupid(or you wont get their respect).
oh and as an added bonus, if they compliment you and you feel like, let it show, get excited and they want to poke at you there even more and get excited themselves too, ENTPs do like to poke and playfully tease people(i dont understand how my ENTPs friends wife can stand him with all that constant teasing). the
+ positive reaction = a sign for them 'poke at here' which they cant resist.
There is nothing that pleases me more than being able to poke at somebody and having them respond in an amused or at least not-negative way. I have no idea why. My best friend resolved herself to this fact like seven years ago, and to my glee, still has very pronounced reactions that just egg me on. My boyfriend of ten years (ENTJ) and I share this trait.
So yes I'd say being able to handle a (sometimes) absurdly silly sense of humor with wit or not- patronizing tolerance, and being able to handle the intellectual side too is the way to go. My boyfriend knows somehow to occasionally mention that my ability to art/math/science/whatever is something that he acknowledges and really respects, and in return I respect his certain brand of wisdom/smarts. He is incredibly good at knowing situations among other things, very much an ENTJ to the core, and I can't help respect that he's got expertise in something I suck at lol. But he doesn't like pointout that I suck at it.
