ENTroduction

[Ralo]

Hello, you all! It's a lovely night, isn't it? I'm drinking beer and listening to Jeff Beck. It's quite unusual because usually (If I'm drinking alcohol :)) I'm drinking vodka and listening to techno, especially progressive (ambient) trance.

I've been registered at the old forum for quite a long time already but I haven't written or answered any topics. It's remarkable because you INTPs are a lot more talkative on internet than I, an ENTP, am. It seems like it's hard for me, an ENTP, to express myself in written form. I rather express myself in direct face-to-face contact with people.

Here is for you all: :cheers:

Hello there, Ralo - I'm glad you are posting (finally :D )
It is good to have more non-INTPs on this board... I hope you can survive weird people that live inside their heads. ;)

[edit: on a second note and better checking, I think you can... no, I know you can :D ]

Cheers :cheers:

Welcome!


My therapist is an ENTP. We get along grandly.

Hello, welcome and about time you delurked :)

Interesting difference you pointed out, I find it just as hard to express myself in writing as I do orally. I swear it makes sense in my head :huh:

What other differences have you noticed?

[flan2dave]

From a look on the enneagram board, I noticed the same thing about extroverted types, they typically make shorter posts. But their voice is distinctintly extroverted nonetheless.

That's not to say all introverts are long posters. For introverts who keep it short their voice is likewise introverted. I wouldn't mistake them as extroverts on the basis of their post length.

Now I just need to come across the long-extroverted case.

I hope you can survive weird people that live inside their heads. ;)

If I live with one, handling a forum full of those is a piece of cake. :wub:

[Vagabond]

That is why I edited, heh heh... I am a curious checking-up-on-everyone person :D

Welcome Ralo. I have a good friend who's an ENTP.

[Division56]

Do any of us actually not have a good friend who's an ENTP?


*looks around*

[cloakable]

Uh, I have a friend who's an INFP, and we get along pretty well. Mostly I get on well with INXP types.

Hello there, Ralo - I'm glad you are posting (finally :D )

He needed some pushing and threatening gentle encouraging to delurk. :D

I don't know of any ENTP friends of mine. Of course, most of my friends I haven't asked to take the myers-briggs test, so I have no idea, and feel I'm too dumb to speculate.
Most of the friends I do know the MBTI for are all IXTP, INTJ, or INFPs, along with a couple ESFJ females here and there who are more acquaintances than friends.

[Miss Padfoot]

along with a couple ESFJ females here and there who are more acquaintances than friends.o_O Now how in the world... never mind.

I like ENTPs. I can think of two of them that I know well (and that's not counting two XNTPs, who are also amazing people). They're two of the brightest, funniest people I know.

[Vagabond]

Hmm. I am not sure, but I think this female friend of mine is an ENTP. She scored as an INTP, or rather xNTP, BUT she is not an introvert. Probably a 7w8 or 8w7 in the enneagram, haven't figured that out yet. Yeah, they are good people :D I know this one for 7,5 years, we do not see each other every now and then (months may go by without communication) but we connect a lot, despite our differences. In a way I like having someone else choose where to go, where to sit and what drink to have - I am usually the "no problem" one. She is strong in NT though, so maybe that is what mostly counts, not the E/I thing... 'cause despite of the long pauses in between our meetings, we are closer than we are to our brothers and sisters. Well, weird, but it works, so...

I took the MBTI, with an administrator, years ago, which resulted in INTP. However, I think that I was going through a period of needing to lay low. Since INTPs and INFJs can appear extraverted to some, I think it goes without saying that ENTPs can go within, particularly when in a phlegmatic mode. I actually think that many INTPs (including moi) may have mistyped, since we are not in need of constantly being around others. It's my thought that Fe's enjoy being around others. Ne's just need to keep busy, but prefer to do it in alone.

[Hope]

What does the X stand for? I havent seen that before. Is that when they're borderline?

[Vagabond]

You use X (as in xNTP) when someone's preference is not clear. An xNTP is someone that errs between introversion and extroversion but is actually stuck someplace in between.

Helo and have a nice party. I think everybody deserves partying.
