#entp thoughts

1.Stiles Stilinski 

-Healthy use of his NeTi and was always In touch with his tert Fe. While his Si isn't something he ever gives that much use to he still manages to have grounded plans. Usually Lydia or Allison ground him back in reality.

2.Olive Penderghast

-Overall her functions are very well developed and she uses her TiFe in allot of he decision making. However mid movie we see her going full NeFe and ignoring her true desires in order to please others. 

3.Dustin Henderson

-Probably the most realistic depiction of Ne in media. He is still interested in exploring multiple possibilities in realistic manners that make sense. Overall we don’t see much of his Fe however when we do he usually uses to pull the group together.

4.Himeno 

-Unhealthy use of NeFe, constantly wondering who she is un relation to others. In her desire to find happiness in her line of work she ends up struggling to make any meaningful connections.

Like, you are not extroverted enough to enjoy the parties and be easy going with other extroverts.

So you basically crave a connection with some introvert. And they get enough of your bullshit after a few hours.

For awhile I honestly thought I was an ENTJ (at first even INTJ but I was goin through a ruff time when I discovered MBTI we'll just put it at that). I can get REALLY ambitious, and then ruthless/strategic with how I go about things in order to see it through. I even bullet journal, and make planners for months in advance just so I can keep track of all my ambitions. Some people would consider me Type A because of how eccentric I can be and how detailed I can get with how I spend my time.

What they don't know is that my poor use of Si causes me to do things like work on projects for four hours straight and watch the hours tick by until its 1 am and, oh no! I have somewhere to be the next morning. This happens multiple times.

I also am a professional at winging it. People would be shocked at how many of the things I do are last minute choices, or put together the night before/the moment of. I mean, I cannot count the number of times I've said (tw death) "guess I'll die" every day.

Cannot forget the fact that during quarantine I would RUTHLESSLY argue about my favorite book characters to strangers online. I wrote pages and absolute essays that would probably get high marks if I fixed them up a little. I was a menace out there.

It was only after actually researching about the cognitive functions did I realize that there was absolutely no way I could have Te. Like, at all. I learned that my constant fantasizing and well of ideas for everything in the world around me was, in fact, a high Ne user trait.

I don't get fomo from missing out at a social event, I get fomo from missing an opportunity to put my creative resources to work to entertain people.

I like to think that I stray more towards the "Jack Skellington' entp type. One might think he's an entj because of how he has this goal in mind and then goes through every little detail to see it through, but what about him getting tired of all the routines in the beginning of the movie and wanting something new (Ne)? And when he finds Christmas town, what does he do? He analyzes the heck out of it, trying to figure out how it works (clear Ti use). So, even though the stereotypes might lead one to believe Jack is an entj, in actuality, he types as an entp.

Heres some IRL examples of how I might not seem ENTP.

For preface, I am an identical twin. I type as an ENTP, meanwhile my twin types as an INFJ (it is a very interesting relationship). Our highschool offered speech and debate. Guess who started taking it first? Not me, the entp. I didn't really know much about it and thought it was just a nerd thing. Then my twin took it and had a ball (I was lowkey was super jealous). Even though my twin is the "humanitarian" feeling type, they made for a terrifying opponent and had no mercy. My twin is also often thought of as way crueler than I am most of the time, where I am described more like a sunflower and they more as a thorny rose. My twin can get so passionate they turn argumentative, and if something doesn't fit the little storyland they build their world around, they argue a lot. So, my parents always said that they should be a lawyer. My twin can get so inside their heard (high Ni) that they act narcissistic and uncaring.

It irks me how one can pay so little attention to the world around them, but you'd think I'd be the cruel narcissistic one, who people say should be a lawyer. Because I am an entp.

Personally? I like writing poetry and going to cafes. I like reading and if I see that either side of argument can be argued for within reason, I won't feel like arguing. So I don't argue as much. The whole reason I didnt take speech and debate at first was just because I thought I wouldn't enjoy arguing for things where both sides could be right (I now know I overlooked the beauty in the argument itself). The Ne/Ti/Fe/Si function stack applies to me completely, just not in the stereotypical way. Its pretty helpful. When I analyze things too much (Ti), I can recognize I am probably a little stressed. I also know that there are places in my life I should have SOME routine/structure just to be a more functional person.

So, when people say "MBTI isn't real/is pointless because people get different results all the time and how can 16 personality types fit everyone its so limiting"

are there even any downsides of being an entp? you wouldn’t think so, since we’re fluent in sarcasm and some of the most funny and creative people you’ll ever meet (;

but unfortunately, there are downsides to being an entp

is it the constant need for mental stimulation? not being able to sit still or have a small talk with someone, ever. the burning urge to ask and push too far?

it’s probably even worse when we can’t satisfy that constant hunger. getting bored of a hobby, or sometimes even a friend that you loved. but they’re not challenging enough anymore, they don’t excite you. after dropping them, comes that sudden rush to move away and cover up the mess you made, since the guilt from that will eat you alive.

never letting someone in and always having the need to find some ‘spark’, when that person is fine as they are. and though you’ve probably never experience a friend so real, the search of something you don’t even know never ends. you don’t know boundaries, pushing yourself over the limit. there is no such thing as; this is plenty, this is enough

hand in hand with that comes the fear of commitment. preferring to keep your options open, always. even though it leads to having no friends at all. closing a part of you to the world is easiest, after all.

the realisation that maybe, just maybe, you’re not the brightest star in the sky, the smartest person in the room, and that you’re not the person you want to be
