I have never met an ENTP who was not good at predicting what someone was going to do next in a situation or how someone is most likely to react and what they react to and or what this facial expression means and so on and so forth, but I am an ENTJ and also have the wonderful ability to accurately predicting another persons actions,and words based on the persons general pattern on going about things or a story line in a book or film. Now are all ENTPs and ENTJs like this? If so, who do you think it better at it? haha just wondering out of curiosity and fun.

It depends on the degree of how much I care about someone. If its someone I don't really care for (a stranger), I don't pay attention too much to be able to discern what they're going to say/do next. However, I never miss the underlying meaning of anything being said (stranger and friend).

I don't think its really being able to predict what one is going to say/do moreso, me planting things in my questions/statements to get the other to say what I need to determine what their next step would be.Or what the person would be inclined to do more. I tend to anticipate responses to my questions and usually have a response for what I've anticipated their response to be.

I can't really read body language but I do take note of the pitch in their voice and articulation of their thoughts. I guess one would say I can see patterns in one's speech.

I am more capable of determining what one will do/say if I've known them a bit because I would've grasped their speech patterns by that time. Any deviations from their standard speech would probably press my curiosity button and jump start my ability to manipulate words just enough to understand what the other is hiding then anticipate what that person is going to do/say based on the information I've gathered. Again, this is if I care enough to even do this. It's very tiring to think about what people will do if it won't affect me in any way.

I don't know any ENTPs so I can't really give you input.

ENTPs.

Definitely an ENTP for patterns/people. ENTJ is far superior in developing a project and moving along steps. They are superb for businesses/organizations etc. If I were to pick a business manager and had to choose between a Thinker (I WOULD NEVER WANT A FEELER to be a manager) ISTJ, ESTJ, etc. I would pick ENTJ. They can be cut throat and have zero problems dishing out organization needs without being involved in petty office politics that sensors usually like to play. A smart ENTJ would want an ENTP as an adviser/consultant or even manager but not the type of visible manager, someone who is absolutely distant from others political manipulations. An ENTP would be happy to be a part time office consultant too, just come in throw some chaos and then everything is back to order after firing 15-30% of people who are in the ENTJ's way to true growth and success. Everyone would hate the ENTP but not the ENTJ, therefore we will deflect any anger towards you guys.

Heck, I made a troll bait post in one forum where I've estimated that I would get X amount of 85% negative response. I particular paid attention to those neutral in attacking me giving out an objective viewpoint the rest of my troll response posts are on my list of "dumbos"
