I disliked them to the extent I went on a 8-year long denial of being of that type. ENTP. Crazy inventors, incoherent. Unable to plan. Flickering at every time. Overexuberant. Huh, what the fuck? It goes on. Unable to behave like a person, instead arguing all the time. Unable to see the big plan as they're just joking so much they're unable to plan for anything.
To add injury to the insult, I had a friend just like that, an ENTP, who was an incarnation of a Bad Example to me.
So seeing where I'm coming from, you can see why an ENTx doesn't want to take the ENTP label. Or, can you? Can you not?
To be honest, once I figured out my type and read the ENTP descriptions, I actually was rather pleased that it DID describe me. I'm talking the overall picture of a creative, clever, multi-faceted person who always figures out how to beat the system, can win any argument, and is really socially awkward. I knew that was dead-on when I first read it.
I'm not gonna say I agree with every word of every description. There are some that emphasize qualities of being effervescent and bubbly and outgoing, which isn't how the type works for me. There are some that emphasize debate as my sole mode of interaction, and I don't see it...I think 16Personalities is really bad at this in particular.
Then there's the stereotypes you find on forums like these...that ENTPs are useless. ENTPs can never be true visionaries or leaders because they never finish ANYTHING they start. If you invent something you're an ENTP (I fucking hate when people re-invent the wheel). ENTPs don't have any deeper understanding of anything (especially not human nature, no way are ENTPs insightful, I must be an INFJ). An ENTP can't have organizational gifts. Ne-doms love brainstorming in groups. Etc.
So yes, I feel your pain in that regard. But that being said, some of the stereotypes are actually true. I really DO suck at planning; I don't like to plan in advance and need to act in the moment (ie, "at the last minute" according to more structured types). I really HAVE struggled to put my life in order or choose a course of action or a career. I really DO live in chaos and filth.
Knowing that there's a sensible reason I've had the weaknesses I do has helped me combat them on my own terms, without feeling like I need to be sooper-organized and tidy like normal people and then always hating myself for falling far short of that. I understand WHY I need to operate the way I do, and also have gain insights on how to counteract that when it gets to be a problem. Etc. Self-acceptance, man.
