ENTP: A Type In Words.

MBTI Stereotypes and Descriptions vs Reality: ENTP

Part of a series with @itsme-isfp

Type Description:

“The ENTP personality type is the ultimate devil’s advocate, thriving on the process of shredding arguments and beliefs and letting the ribbons drift in the wind for all to see. Unlike their more determined Judging (J) counterparts, ENTPs don’t do this because they are trying to achieve some deeper purpose or strategic goal, but for the simple reason that it’s fun. No one loves the process of mental sparring more than ENTPs, as it gives them a chance to exercise their effortlessly quick wit, broad accumulated knowledge base, and capacity for connecting disparate ideas to prove their points. ENTPs’ intelligence, curiosity and sound reasoning skills are a force to be reckoned with. ENTPs will always be able to find just the right argument, the weakest chink in their opponent’s armor, or the way out of a seemingly hopeless situation. Their fearsome debate skills and impressive knowledge allow ENTPs to overcome many challenges.”

Tumblr:

Sassy meme queen with no motivation to do anything with their lives…other than shitpost or roast people online for no good reason.

Reality:

Prefers to sit back and analyze a conversation before jumping in with a witty comment or idea - provided they find the conversation interesting.  Does play the devil’s advocate, but does it more so to explore the topic from all sides more so than to start a fight…although will poke your buttons every now and then to see how you’ll react.  Able to figure you out in minutes but is still a little clueless when you get emotional.  Doesn’t really want to offend you, but will try to cover it up as intentional if they’re not sure how to make amends.  Will say or do silly shit just to make you laugh. Has no style.

your tumblr is one of those things that you want everyone to see but at the same time you never want to show it to anyone

me: *wants to live a minimalist life with little to no clutter*

also me: I'm keeping this math assignment from 5th grade I might need it later.

me: *is born*

me: I would very much like to be excluded from this narrative, one that I have never asked to be a part of,

Stop being tormented by everyone else’s reaction to you.

every entp ever

shoutout to me for ruining my own life

You know you're an ENTP when #113

you love giving unwanted critique.

I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say the only types that deserve type aesthetics are sensors and some ENxJs because most intuitives are fucking messes and only have some kind of “aesthetic” by virtue of being obsessed with one kind of thing
