About the whole ENTPs being masters of social games... am I the only one who doesn't seem to be Tyrion Lannister? Are really every other ENTP the most dangerous socio-political adversary in their domain?


I have a better grip on folk now than before, being in a position of professional leadership. I still have to sit back and ponder what gears grind in my men's heads sometimes. I'd love to be better at it, though, I suppose I just have to start fucking with people for fun, what say you? Hahaha

Why is everybody filling the survey from first post? Point of this thread should be to post stereotypes, not to tell other people if you're cocky or unethical (honestly, nobody cares)...
1.) Unethical - Been accused of this when discussing scenarios (largely political) in class, but the other party was just being stupid or I was playing some impossible angle because I can
2.) Joker- Yup
3.) No feelings - Goes with number 1, but in reality I'm probably have more complex emotions than most people (goes for other ENTPs) I just don't, or can't express them.
4.) Cocky - Constantly, and well, I am.
5.) Not romantic - Haven't received much input from others on this, but am labeled a "player" from tiem to time. I just get infatuated with a chick for a few weeks then have to move on.
6.) Shocker (Gets their kicks from seeing peoples reaction) - I do actually, but not just scared reactions
7.) Trolls - When the other party is obviously to intellectually inferior to communicate with (most of the time)
8.) Rarely serious - Should I be?
9.) Funny - Yup
10.) Narcissistic - Yup
I've been labeled those along with the lazy genius in school with the weird sense of humor.
1.) Unethical - Not at all. I have a highly developed sense of right and wrong, it's just that it's not the same as most peoples.
2.) Joker - Sure, but then again most people i know like to have a laugh.
3.) No feelings - I have plenty. I just don't let them rule my life.
4.) Cocky - Not really, but i guess i could come across as somewhat arrogant and cocky. If i am, it's involuntary.
5.) Not romantic - Not naturally, but i adapt.
6.) Shocker (Gets their kicks from seeing peoples reaction) - Sure.
7.) Trolls - Sure
8.) Rarely serious - True enough i guess.
9.) Funny - I've been told i am.
10.) Narcissistic - Yeah, but i do try to hide it.
This list does seem kind of pointless but in some way it seems to stroke my ego, and it does need constant stroking, so i did it anyway. Kind of shameful, i guess.
Here is my list of ENTP stereotypes..
1.) Unethical - No
2.) Joker - Yes :)
3.) No feelings - No
4.) Cocky - Moi?
5.) Not romantic - Absolutely incorrect
6.) Shocker (Gets their kicks from seeing peoples reaction) - Mos def
7.) Trolls - Hehehe
8.) Rarely serious - Untrue
9.) Funny - Well, I'd like to think so. :)
10.) Narcissistic - Again.. Moi?
vs
Here is my list of ENFP stereotypes..
1.) Manipulators - No
2.) Suffers from Attention Deficit Disorder - ADHD, yeah.. Sure. I call it "being right brain enough that I don't focus on the outside, much"
3.) Players - Nope
4.) Obnoxious - Not really
5.) Constant Mood Swings - Not really
6.) Narcissistic - Never! :P
7.) Can't take criticisms -Meh, I can take it.. That doesn't mean I have to agree with it..
8.) Can't stand being disliked or hated -I try my best to win people over, but I can accept that there are some people I would rather not even see. Some people are stupid, and stupid people are an atrocity to intelligent conversations.
9.) Cheaters -I kind of hid a few things during school, and switched subjects whenever she'd ask about it.. She would eventually forget. Oh yeah.. Did I mention that I was homeschooled. lol
10.) Attention whore -A tiny bit, maybe.
After realizing that I was falsely attributing my Ti to being Fi, I think I may very well be an ENTP.
Here are some of the other stereotypes I fit:
1.Inventive
2.Sarcastic
3- Actually, I think I'll stop there.. You guys know what ENTPs are like. :P
1) Yes.
2) Yes.
3) I've had plenty of people tell me that, I don't think it's true; I just don't express myself frequently.
4) Not always, unless it's something I'm REALLY good at.
5) I consider typically romance to be cliche, and I hate cliche. So, typically, I'm not.
6) YES.
7) Not always, though, I do love to troll when the right opportunity calls.
8) Never serious ever, unless the situation calls for it. Even then, I try to keep a light, comedic approach.
9) The subjective, my humor typically appeals to those who're similar to me.
10) My older brother tells me that all the time, not really anyone else. So I guess I'm not too much?
