    Am I Really An ENTP?

    I got into this whole MBTI thing a couple days ago, when I took a test to check my type. The result was ENTP. I was neither suprised nor unsuprised. In any case, I took like 5 different tests and they all came out as ENTPs.
    Here are some quotes from my past posts that are related:

    -"ENTPs Stereotypes" thread:
    Here is my list of ENTP stereotypes..

    1.) Unethical
    2.) Joker
    3.) No feelings
    4.) Cocky
    5.) Not romantic
    6.) Shocker (Gets their kicks from seeing peoples reaction)
    7.) Trolls
    8.) Rarely serious
    9.) Funny
    10.) Narcissistic

    1-FALSE!!! I feel really guilty after running over my shitty neighbor's cat. JK I love animals and see myself as very ethical, whenever I do a bad thing I eat myself up for a long fucking time until I fix it, confess or apologize. However, I end up confessing more on minor problems with minor guilt problems that major ones. I was like that when I was little kid, but in recent years (I'm in 10th grade, so like from 7th grade) I started to get over-ethical. I think its because I embraced and blossomed my F.
    2. You got me, you fucking bastard! (Although NO ONE understands my jokes, and I need to give like 10 explainations for them to understand, making a bad reaction, like "what?????" or "speak hebrew (in my case). They're just not smart enaugh.
    3. Not true. I get very emotional, and I usually have a hard time hiding it. Mostly social problems (when I have fights (not physical, forgot the english word), and when I fight (this time physically), even though it only happened 3 times (with 2 different guys), and kicked their asses, I just go to corner and isolate myself from everyone but my 1 close friends (I talk with my friends one at a time).-This was not effected by embracing the F, it was alwyas like that.
    4-Trueeeee
    5-False-although i love flings (I'm 16, not sex, just BJs and such) I always dream about having a serious girlfriend, although I never find one that I deem worthy of -me-. (If you have issues with that, read #4)
    6-To a wired extent. I often do things for no reasons other than to feed my curiosity (something VEEEEERY hungry) as to how'll htey'll react.
    7-Whats that?
    8-I'm serious when I talk about serious stuff (look above), but I'm otherwise hyper and VERY and nearly ALWAYS happy and eccentric, except some days when I feed sad, and then I'm really sad, about the same things I'm eccentric about.
    9-I have some good jokes coming up all the time, but they're waaaaaay overly sophisticated
    10-SOOOOOO true, but I don't think I'm living up to my potential, got 2 Fs and a D in math, because I cut class, don't listen, and rarely ever study, but when I really need something done, I press the gas the last minute and study as hard as fuck and get an A or if I'm unlucky or press it a day before the test, a B+ or rarely a B-.

    Thread about ENTPs and short term memory:

    I forget stuff I've done seconds ago. For instance, I remembered my favorite show is on 9:30, and I turn on the television, but forget what I was doing (at this point in the post I forgot what I was typing), only for brief 10 sec moments, because my mind is elsewhere.
    In addition, when I leave the front door for school and my mom asks me to take down the trash (accidently typed "down" twice now) I forget about it, and, funny (my mom would say sad, lol) enaugh, the trash is right AT the door.

    My thread:

    First of all, this is not about popularity, because I'm pretty popular. Does it happen to you too? When someone says "I think you're fucked up" you take it as they're syaing: "I (never, NEVER do the following) think you're a genius, because true genius is fucked up"

    And when no one laughs at my jokes (they're usually really funny, depends where I tell them, near girls I'm really funny, but in my class I never tell a single funny jokes, perhaps because at my school your clique is unrelated to your class, and only 1 of my good friends is in my class, anyway:) I just think that they're too inferior and stupid to understand my jokes.

    I personally think it happens because of our narcissism, we interpet what others say as compliments because we think we're the best and perfect.

    Also a thread of mine:

    Hey guys, first of all, I want to say this is not about popularity, because I'm pretty popular and have no trouble here, in addition, I'm 16 years old high school student.
    So, the problem is, I have a hard time telling whether someone is laughing at me or with me, and its eating me up alot, and my close friends always say that, because everone thinks my humor is dumb. Fuck them my humor is awesome to me when I think about it, but no one else thinks it's funny.
    So, did this happen to you too in childhood, right now, or not at all? If it did, how did you handle it?


    Enaugh with quotes,

    Other than that, I don't have that compelling drive to argue, find myself ethical (when someone is not nice to me, I just think so much about how much I hate them, and thinking about what slow painful death will fit them the most, but when he acts even a drop nicely, I forget all about that and my rage pops into thin air in a second, until he does it again, and so it cycles, the only times I remember he didn't act nicely lead into fist fights. In addition, I never, at least meaning, start a bad relationship with someone.)
    Also, I don't have this knack for breaking the rules.
    On the other hand, all the other stereotypes ENTPs have I identified in myself.
    I also identify a little bit with the INFJ type (wierd, huh?), which is supposed to be pretty opposite (not entirely), but waaaay not enaugh to be called an INFJ, and I don't see myself in their shoes. I still think that being an ENTP really defines me, and I said more than once "OMFG thats me!!!! I searched that quality for so long and its here!!! So rare!!!", and "I can't believe they're like me in that TOO!"

    Thanks guys

    Stereotypes are just stereotypes, I wouldn't put a lot of weight on them, and descriptions are just descriptions. I recommend looking at your functions, as opposed to just tests (there are some nice cognitive function tests though).

    Try looking at ENFPs too, your feeling sounds high. I don't think you'd be anything super weird though, just ENTP or ENFP.

    Tell us about you, not the stereotypes things.

    Oh, i am weird... and I take that as a compliment-as being special and unique

    Anyways, my name is Jonathan, 16 years old (not a full adult yet).

    -I have a pretty big circuit of friends, talkative, initiate conversations ect... I think I'm definitely extravent, although I value my alone time, and occasionaly I filter (don't answer, don't know the english word) my friends on weekend nights since I'm too tired to go out

    -I'm pretty sure I have an intuitive perception: althought I don't have very good grades in math, I am the first in my class (nearly always the first) to get the concept of the theorem/math problem/ect, as well as in physics. I also love sophisticated ideas, whether its humor, movies (I don't read, I'm already lost by page 3 of every book I pick up), though not art yet, although I'm fascinated by surreal paintings, not abstract yet. (my grandfather R.I.P. was a famous artist, and he would take critisism from 24+, because young people don't understand art), and I love thinking up all sorts of stuff, paint blueprints, mostly in group effort, but the group usually minimizes my ideas because they're not quite possible with the resources and man power.

    -I'd say I'm a logical thinker, and when making decision I take into account my T more than my F, and when making decisions for other people I use nearly only my T. Despite that, I have a strong sense of guilt and its the main F I take with me (mostly the punishing part of the guilt), but if I do a bad thing, I can easily make up for it by doing a good deed. I'd say I'm a T with a highly developed F.

    -I'm a perciever no doubt. My life is a mess, without my mom to clean up the house (because of our 3 dogs (I love animals) she cleans it once a day and is an order freak), I'd live in a cave. I'm also indecisive, lazy, short (although powerful) motivation span, that usually sparks when I find something new, and I'm inconsistent and spontanious. I never planned a thing in my life, and I suffer from a bad lack J. I'm also always relaxed and you won't find me stretched out.
    About my NFJ qualities: I highly value my friends, don't see them as tools, and I sometimes put my closest like 5 friends, which are part of my inner "shameless" cirlce, where I don't show off and share my embarassing self, above my own, such as getting eaten up with guilt so I'd let them use, for instance, my sleeping bag.

    The rest can be read in the previous post.

    Oh and thanks guys you don't know how much this means to me

    Oh and I know I talk a loooot, I'm quite the badger (person who talks so much, right? Not very good slang english, I lived two years in the states and since then I learn from advanced class, thats why I have pretty high language a normal person wouldn't write), and I get told that a lot.
    i forgot to mention, I tend to speak too fast, because i have so much on my mind, and I'm impatient, which results in my friends not understanding a word I say and making the arguementative power of an ENTP absolete, although on paper (facebook) I can argue well, with logical points, not charisma oriented win.

    Again, the main point is my developed F

    You're very detail oriented, yeah brah.


    ENTP or ESTP, they are pretty similar types.

    I thought I was an ESTP at first, the types are pretty similar.

    If it helps, heres my topic from ages ago about my type, there were some helpful posts in there: I'm questoning my S.

    (Don't bump it though brah)

    Thanks alot brah. Read your thread, but I don't think I fit in that spot. And up there I don't think i was being detail oriented I was just going on with my years of talking.
    On the other hand, maybe its true. Maybe, my mind is blocking me from seeing myself as an S, like you did with the N, but on all the tests I did I scored minimum 70% N, usually around 80.
    I like theories, and have a very keen interest in the abstract and surreal. I find it as a little puzzles for my brain to try and "solve" by trying to decode what its creator was trying to pass on, and perhaps interpeting my own thought in it.

    So anyway, maybe my mind is rejecting the thought that I'm an S, because up to now I loved the fact I was an N, and now I my unconciosness just desperately grasps for the N it rejects the thought i could be an S?
    Oh, and something I think will put that theory down, is that I do stuff at the last moment (fact, can't be a mindtrick). I get it a lot from my teachers, my mom, my dad, friends, and myself. Sometimes I don't do it at all. For instance, if I miss out a project, by a time everyone already turned it in, I just don't do it, and if the teacher asked I said I forgot it at home and that I'll try to find it, and the next day I said I couldn't find it. Most teachers believe, except the ones who know I'm manipulative as fuck lol

    S son't always hate theories, they just have to have some practical application, for us to come to terms with it.

    ESTP

    Dominant: Extraverted Sensing (Se)

    Se focuses on the experiences and sensations of the immediate, physical world. With an acute awareness of the present surroundings, it brings relevant facts and details to the forefront and may lead to spontaneous action.
    Auxiliary: Introverted Thinking (Ti)

    Ti seeks precision, such as the exact word to express an idea. It notices the minute distinctions that define the essence of things, then analyzes and classifies them. Ti examines all sides of an issue, looking to solve problems while minimizing effort and risk. It uses models to root out logical inconsistency.
    Tertiary: Extraverted Feeling (Fe)

    Fe seeks social connections and creates harmonious interactions through polite, considerate, and appropriate behavior. Fe responds to the explicit (and implicit) wants of others, and may even create an internal conflict between the subject’s own needs and the desire to meet the needs of others.
    Inferior: Introverted Intuition (Ni)

    Attracted to symbolic actions or devices, Ni synthesizes seeming paradoxes to create the previously unimagined. These realizations come with a certainty that demands action to fulfill a new vision of the future, solutions that may include complex systems or universal truths.


    ENTP

    Dominant: Extraverted intuition (Ne)

    Ne finds and interprets hidden meanings, using “what if” questions to explore alternatives, allowing multiple possibilities to coexist. This imaginative play weaves together insights and experiences from various sources to form a new whole, which can then become a catalyst to action] Ne allows the ENTP to effortlessly identify complex interrelationships between ideas, people, and things that are often invisible to most other personality types.
    Auxiliary: Introverted thinking (Ti)

    Ti seeks precision, such as the exact word to express an idea. It notices the minute distinctions that define the essence of things, then analyzes and classifies them. Ti examines all sides of an issue, looking to solve problems while minimizing effort and risk. It uses models to root out logical inconsistency. In the ENTP, Ti analyzes the constant stream of information that Ne provides. Ti develops structure and reconciles any inconsistencies in the ENTP's belief system. However, Ti cannot match the activity of Ne, which leads the ENTP to juggle multiple projects and theoretical enterprises at any given time, in various stages of completion.
    Tertiary: Extraverted feeling (Fe)

    Fe seeks social connections and creates harmonious interactions through polite, considerate, and appropriate behavior. Fe responds to the explicit (and implicit) wants of others, and may even create an internal conflict between the subject’s own needs and the desire to meet the needs of others. When Fe is well developed, the ENTP can foster goodwill in others, and can be seen as quite charming and loyal. When it is not well developed, the ENTP can be seen as aloof and unconcerned with other people's feelings. In most ENTPs, weakness of the tertiary function can be observed in its inconsistency or lack of endurance.
    Inferior: Introverted sensing (Si)

    Si collects data in the present moment and compares it with past experiences, a process that sometimes evokes the feelings associated with memory, as if the subject were reliving it. Seeking to protect what is familiar, Si draws upon history to form goals and expectations about what will happen in the future. Si offsets the ENTP's natural tendency toward anarchy and non-conformity. It acts as a sort of gravitational pull that keeps the ENTP in orbit around reality.
