When I am stuck with boring people and conversation I automatically seem to throw a "verbal bamb" into the room; (I might not even believe in what I am throwing out as a challenge). The result is usually quite exhilarating but only for a short time; then I get away as fast as possible because their arguing is quite boring. I am known to be a "trouble-maker; sad, I just want everybody to start using their brains, I don't get why that is so bad.
As an entp, I'm insanely attracted to chaotic dreamers, fascinated with the world. I love the spark in their eyes when they tell me about things theyre passionate about. I love when they look at the stars and tell me how pretty they are, even if they don't know any constellations. I love artists, I love poets, I love people who are unapologetically themselves. Routine bores me and I find myself being attracted to people who have something weird, interesting, uncommon to offer. It's just so magical to find a person like that
I'm similar, though I'm more attracted to people who are passionate about things. They don't have to be chaotic, though I just like being a witness to people following their goals and trying their best. I also like it when people are bold in a good way. Not to the point of being overly forceful though. It's just that I tend to dress quite boldly and to be myself, so I want to be with someone who can boldly be themselves. I don't like it when people pretend to like something I like or lie about who they are. Recently I got close to someone like that, but I saw the red flags really quickly and stopped talking to them. When we started talking, it seemed like we had a lot in common, but sometimes I wonder if that was the case. Good thing I stopped talking to them.
Nothing is more attractive than an xSFP doing what he/she is passionate, most of my love stories include dancers, musicians and visual artists because their spontaneousness and strong ideals complement very well my constant brain storm of analysis in possibilities
xNFP are inspiring, even delighting me sometimes. xNTP are interesting friends or opponents. xSxx and xxxJ are too shallow/narrow, often, excepting INFJ maybe.
im an ENTP, just realised when you say the "seduce" thing, that every single person i ever feel atracted to and fell in love to, were people specially well organized and very stable, every single one.
This may be part of the nature/nurture debate in character formation. Are NTP's products of unstable Feelers? Do Enneagram #3s and #4s create #7s and #8s? Why do you use the word "person" instead of woman? Ambivalence or political correctness? Try digging up Neil Young's A MAN NEEDS A MAID for a lyrical response to your insight.
The sensing problem is something I know too well. I wrote a biology exam once and in one task you were supposed to analyse a diagram. For some reason I completely overlooked the fact that the chemical substances needed were written right underneath it. I thought of doutzen ways the graphs could hint to which substance, after i submitted the exam everyone told me that the answer to that question was already given. Never felt so stupid.
the amount of times I’ve missed details in school is just uncountable at this point, and you just made me have an epiphany on my Ne, see because I’m still trying to see If I’m REALLY an Entp, and you made me realise that half of the reason why I don’t get full marks or no marks for questions is because I go through this process of step 1. Missing curcial detail of information step 2 coming up with so many possibilities to solve the question and so many different interpretations I get confused and just settle on the most logical one according to my logic (Ti) step 3. Get the answer completely WRONG because I didn’t address detail. All of this I noticed especially in BIOLOGY btw. Doing highschool bio rn, struggling 😊
you are staring at the wall until you realise that minutes have passed. Then you sum up your thoughts but surely don't write them down, because you know that it's not worth the effort.
maybe im a weird ENTP, but i often feel attracted to super energedic people, but at the same time, beeing mostly friends with more "nerdy-mom" types. its just fascinating to surround yourself with all kinds and watch how they interact
@@NathanJGlass Would love too, as I'm an ENTP(-A) too, but in a way that I'm more ENTP than most people because I had more than 80% of each concept in favor of ENTP. but I know that I won't produce good enough quality video without working on me on the first hand, and I'm not yet ready to do that. But I thank you for making this video, this is how I am too. I've always changed the world ( Not the world itself, but the condition of the world for myself ) for me to always have the best from it. And always develop a capacity to be able to adapt myself and the world around me to satisfy me. And I'm now a somewhat successful poker player. But I keep thinking about all the other possibilities. This is how i play chess too, and i always found engines chess boring until IA (Google deepmind, then Leela zero ) cames out of it. and didn't play by calculation but somes sort of positional calculation that I begins to really enjoy watching chess engines
sometimes I think the phrase "just in case" was invented by an ENTP. I mean let's face it everything we do/plan on doing has a "just in case" scenario attached to it, in most cases we have at least 5 of those. 🤣
I always have plan A B C D and my friends have a hard time to get it ! It's not because I don't trust plan A... but you know... just in case let's have a few other plans 😂
2:45 "since they can see so many perspectives they give little weight to their own feelings and preferences" Thank you for summing up a part of my personality that I never really had the words for :)
Glad to hear that it resonates with you! It's definitely something that I've seen in practice with many ENTPs and it can be both a strength and a weakness depending on the situation and what they use it in service of ~ Nathan
I kinda get it now. When I was in school I was always drawn to ENTPs and they to me. It's strange though how the quietest guy and the loudest asshole - a seemingly unsuitable pair - can understand one another at some deeper level.
"NTs are accused of living life like it's a game of chess" then proceeds to explain that most people are uninformed about chess and must be enlightened 🤣 Love it. You sound like an ENTJ here. I'd love to know your type, for the (pseudo)science.
I freak out and look for my glasses while I’m wearing them. And all the while think the other person is stupid because they get lost when I ask them if a donated organ is still part of themselves, or if it’s just an organ and not an actual part of a person’s identity.
Your body isnt always or necessarilly you. Fat gets pooped out or whatever. Organs get removed, limbs get lost occasionally. Think about hair and fingernails and skin cells. Every cell in your body gets replaced multiple times in your life. Its all perspective. You can even be the exact same person with half of your brain surgically removed.
Weirdest thing since finding out about these fun acronyms, is how someone can just describe my thought process. Tf. This is how I’ve thought since I was a kid, and someone has insight on it? Fricking weird
that's exactly how i feel! it's so weird seeing all my insecurities and things i could never stand abt myself being so openly discussed and analysed because apparently they are typical for my personality... somewhat stripping me of my individualism in a way
My husband is an ENTP. I always thought it was so odd that he literally argues the devils advocate or the opposite of my point when I KNOW HE ACTUALLY AGREES with me. It's like I can see the the wheels turning in his head and a smirk, like he knows that I know he is just trying to get a rise out of me or see how strongly I think about my point. Like a test! Fascinating..... -INTJ wife.
I'm an ENTP and I do that all the time with my husband. I love the testing and sparring no matter what the subject or what side I'm on. Apparently I also smirk which he hates with a vengeance 😂.
I was recently accused of being a "Devil's Advocate" and it made me dislike the word a little because I actually believed in it, and even if I didn't, it doesn't mean there's no merit or reason behind it, calling it "Devil's" anything reduces it to a binary "good vs. evil" thinking which is quite reductive..
Hugh Jass シ It’s the devil’s advocate part of my personality where I can argue both sides of an issue. I can also see all the strengths and weaknesses of any plan, so when I approach a problem I’ve already seen a bunch of ways it can go wrong and thought out contingencies for them. It looks like I’m really good at playing things by ear, but really I’m just thinking ten steps ahead.
@@NathanJGlass Your comments about chess strategy made you come across stereotypically INTJ-ish, but I think it would be a mistake to type based on that perspective, or this video, alone. Hopefully that's not her only reason.
@@NathanJGlass I really think you're an INTJ too. I felt strong Ti vibes when you were talking so I might be wrong. But I've recently really gotten into this theory that this channel INFP&INTJ coffee are researching about subconscious body movements in mbti types. The way your eyes focus on one area when lost in thought and alternate between 2 points horizontally is very typical of an Ni user. You can look into this more if you're interested they have a vid on it and I've seen it in many people who match Ni behaviour. What type do you think you are?
He’s stated before that he may be an INTP. Id side with him being an NTP than an NTJ. I think some of the things that may make him seem like a J are the fact that he is to the point and clear cut with the things he says, he presents his information orderly and concisely. The question then comes as to why he does things this way. We know that he’s an advocate for the 48 laws of power and he has stated that he uses the laws a lot. Adapting new ideas into your lifestyle and implementing them into it will without a doubt make you a more balanced individual. Many of the valuable things we learn in life are often representations of stereotypical concepts of different function stacks. An example would be an INFP hearing the phrase “live in the moment”, which is stereotypically an Se attribute, and as a result, internalizing it, understanding it and implementing it to their daily life. Another example would be the book itself, which has many lessons that relate to the way different types may view things. Some of the laws involve using empathy as a way to navigate which stereotypically relates to Fe, considering the others needs, and some of the laws involve the idea of totally destroying your enemy which can stereotypically relate to Se or Te concepts of winning. That said I think he’s definitely an NTP. I get the sense that his reasoning for doing these videos has less to do with gaining something or achieving a goal than it has to do with him just being genuinely interested in talking about it. He also has an aptitude for noticing specific variables and clarifying their importance to the system he wishes to explain thoroughly. I notice he seems to have more of a preference for explaining things accurately but I notice that he is very careful not to over explain things the way most Ti users would. And given his knowledge of the 48 laws it probably comes from the law to “always say less than necessary”.
At school, because of my lack of sensory awareness, I have lost marks on tests because I accidentally tick the wrong box or something but probably because of ego, I don’t check it again.
This makes my heart warm. 😭 I mean, I am always misunderstood by most people. And you definitely made me feel like understood. Especially when you’re discussing how we are not able to give an answer base on personal preference. It’s rare for me to have a bias opinion on something because I see all the sides to every topic. And with that being said, thank you.
Oh my. God. I've never heard it described so well before. So beautiful. I'm so excited while listening to this cause I resonate with this so much. You are exceptionally observant. Thank you.
I'm an ENTP and you sounded like you were describing me when you described your friend. Wow, crazy. I really want to hear more stories about your friend though.
"Where's my ______?" While ______ is in my hand is a daily occurence for me. I've often hunted for my keys for 5 minutes before realizing I'm holding them.
@@ehrenbrudervegeta4853 hey u can’t be 3 types.. especially not those 3. Their functions are all completely diff. Look up cognitive functions and take a quiz if u want and thatll tell you ur real type
Is your entire wardrobe fuzzy bear pelts?? Anyways, my roommate is an ENTP too, and the same amount of enthusiasm for wins and analyzing fails is so true. She also gets super excited about having a bunch of open ended possibilities, where as I want just one good possibility. I end up thinking a couple of slightly amusing things about ENTPs and their disregard for the physical world including but not limited to losing valuable objects. Things like “I love ENTPs, they are the most intelligent airheads I’ve ever met!” And “ENTPs have their third eye open, but the other two are shut.” I still love them, but they are comical.
Nathan Glass by not acceptable for TH-cam you mean they show too much nipple? And yes, I do think your right ISTPs and ENTPs do make a good team in many cases. I do tend to take their suggestions more often than other people, but I also turn down more of their suggestions than other people’s. I think that’s just because they just make a ton of suggestions in general.
The positional player part is so spot on. That's the strategy I apply on both my work and life. I just hate it to death when people try to box ideas, solutions, or anything. In that case, I'm so overwhelmed with my thoughts about consequencial issues when they try to simplify things which are actually very complicated and may cause bigger problems afterwards.
Being an entp personality type, i am often misunderstood as a cocky individual who lacks empathy and consideration to other people’s opinions. It’s not like i do this on purpose but whenever there is lack of depth and logic in arguments i get carried away and that i feel is my biggest insecurity lately and a trigger for situational social anxiety. Apart from that, i am chill and have a selective and supportive friend circle whom i can rely on every now and then.
As an ENTP, I lost my AirPods a few months ago. I was fed up after a while and bought some new ones. Then I realized a while later that the AirPods were underneath my bed.
I never comment on videos generally, but this one was soooooooo good. Funny, easy to follow, entertaining... When I realized there were only a few minutes left before it ended it actually made me sad. Would love to hear more ENTP stories, specially having one that is your roomate! Already subbed!
5:36 damn that was too accurate, I've always said to myself how much I hate limitations and fear of not being free by being trapped in a situation or some kind of strict position. this kind of fear is what drives me most of the time to have flexible plans that can always be modified.
0:34 that explains a lot :p 2:17 me every time, after losing my phone once. Once I searched from one end to another of an entire city to find my phone in my desk drawer o.O 6:53 haha did you run this example by your friend first!
That laptop comment hit home. I was once insanely looking around for my Parker pen and was asking my bff "where's my pen?" over amd over when she finally stifled her laugh and said "It's in your blazer pocket"
Thank you for talking slowly, you helped slow my perspective down enough to connect and listen, admire your conciseness, certainly appreciate that embodiment of Si and completely agreENTP
Wow I got chills at “hatred and fear of limitation” Commitment, routine, minutia= all DEBILITATING fears of mine 😱😔 And the theory on attraction is spot on! I’m an ENTP and married a drill sergeant 💁🏽♀️
I have watched every one of your xNTx videos multiple times and I, to a high degree, find myself in all of them, so why, now, do I find myself further confused and conflicted when while watching I feel so relieved to have found the answer!!? I need to move on and I can’t cause there is no one final answer! The lack of clarity and certainty is leaving me paralyzed while the feeling of being able to morph into anyone on those types gives me a sense of freedom.
It can certainly be a rabbit hole that people go down indeed. Feel free to send us an email (it's in most of the recent descriptions of our videos) about what type-related dilemma you're having ~ Nathan
I honestly get the sense that you read a comment I posted on someone's channel about when I used to lay beatings down on the President of my Universities Chess Club back in day in college. This guy was an epic chess player. He would play games against 5 or 6 people at a time at the Universities lounge. Just walking up and down the tables moving pieces and winning every game. Quiet, calculating, and silently smug bastard, I liked him 😆. I decided we should be frenemies. I watched his games against others and noticed he would rely and lean on certain pieces to maneuver and combo with. I was more or less equally good or bad with all pieces no matter what stage I was in as a game progressed. He noticed me cracking jokes and talking shit more or less one day with some friends about him whooping all those people up at once by using the same old routine. He challenged me to a game and I set out on destroying all his favorite pieces. Sacrificing my more valuable pieces to kamikaze his piece preference. He was playing to check me, I was playing to fuck with him. At the final stage of the game both of our armies were in shambles and scattered all over the board. Chaos to him, but just another day for me. When I checked him he was stunned and all the little chess junkies around the table were either laughing in praise or saying good game. He never beat me in a game, ever. I am sure he hated me as a person first (I used to run my mouth a lot), but I know he respected me in the end. Sometimes he would scold me in disgust for losing to people he never lost to (like it was a blight on him that the guy he lost to all the time lost to an inferior being or something) and would earnestly try to council me on strategy. But usually those people were newer at chess and would try things I had never seen before (usually out of incompetence) and I wasn't really concerned with beating them. Just curious to see what they would do next and would play along just to see what they were trying to do, sometimes to a point where I couldn't recover. It was more fun in a way, being a tourist in strange new ways of thinking. But overall I do enjoy stable friends. To me people are like gunpowder and I am a alchemist from olden times. The more stable the gunpowder recipe the less of a chance I blow my fingers off while trying new things and experimenting with them.
As an ENTP I can relate wholeheartedly with how much I hate answering “what’s your favorite _______?” questions. Usually I prefer several things if any given category for different reasons. I also recognize that I probably rarely know of the “best” of any particular thing (however theoretical the existence of such is). While sometimes there are objective answers to “what’s the best ______?” type questions, I typically don’t like to try to answer these, or give much weight to answers to these from others because the answer is invariable clouded by confirmation bias and how one’s perspective is shaped by their personal experience and knowledge. In the best cases (😉), some experts in a field can get as close as humanly possible to objectively answering what the “best” is (best process, best material for some purpose, best equation, etc.), but even then, that is merely the best at that very moment in time, and subject to change with further advances in that given field or subject, so what’s the point in qualifying it to begin with? But I digress... frequently 🤣
As a fellow female ENTP, I strongly agree on the main conflict. My infj Friend often asks me what's my favorite food, drink or anything. I get so frustrated with that answer because to me, there is no such thing as best. Even if you've eaten or experienced a very good thing, comparing to other experiences it would still not be the best or favorite thing. It's just not it. And another thing that I find it challenging for me, is that it's so hard for me to love a thing entirely without realizing any mistake or a fault? Like I've just read the book better than the movies. Everyone, like every human being that has read it, loves that book. I actually didn't like it as much. Because although the main male character is also ENTP and most of the things he made is somewhat reasonable. I didn't like it as such. Or maybe I thought that the ending wasn't enough for me. I don't know! But it's hard to love something blindly without figuring out the cons.
I'm an ENTP and an active chess player or athlete, I agree on the positional players part because I'm into openings that gives me an advantage based on the position and it doesn't matter if I'm a pawn down or a piece down, there are times that I'm 2 piece down but won in the end(happens rarely). Appreciate you tackling this idea
Interesting attraction theory. It's true that many of us respect and admire those who are able to do what we cannot. I'm of the opinion that the best romantic connections are made between two types who share the same dominant function with different attitudes (e.g. Ni + Ne). In this case, the perceiving/decision-making function is the same coin with two sides, leading to an easier, automatic understanding of the other's language. Yet, it's different enough where it allows each person to GROW in the relationship, and, not necessarily balance, but COMPLEMENT each other's strengths. As an INFJ, I've noticed that I don't value or admire those who have high Se. Now, it may be because I'm a rather athletically gifted INFJ and have practiced sports since I was a child and am in an Se field of work. Moreover, the lead Se's I've met tend to focus on the here and now without delving into the how or why, which is something my Ni hungers for; in essence, I find their thought process, without trying to be condescending, rather dull and superficial. To be fair, I've never dated an Se lead, so I can't comment on how different it is. However, I have noticed that I value and envy those who have strong Si. I am a male INFJ dating a female ENTP. I was surprised to discover that she remembers things very well. I attribute this to two things: 1) she is a female, and neurologically speaking, women do tend to have better memory as their brains are designed to connect everything to each other with the attachment of certain emotions, which are used for bookmarking strong experiences (and therefore strong memories). 2) She aspires to be good at her Si and she's matured to the point that she is able to use it exceptionally well. Whenever she's in debate mode (70% of the time), she will use her personal experiences and anecdotes of others to corroborate her claims. This bothers me at times because they're not Te objective facts, but she is using her Si to back up her Ti in her arguments. That's not to say she doesn't use objective facts at all; she does. But she does falter in her objectivity at times when she starts using Si and/or Fe and prioritizing it over Te for the sake of satisfying her Ti. Your summary of ENTPs constantly having a way out is spot on. I am always taken aback when my gf ends up in an undesirable situation but ends up coming up with a couple solutions almost immediately. With that being said, her flexibility does come at the price of a lack of commitment and making decisions at the last minute. It's saved us in certain circumstances but has harmed us in others.
hi! just an intp's perspective on entps from my experiences with them they are extremely good at "matching energy" with people. and by that i mean that entps probably have different personalities depending on which friend they are talking too, sometimes even having so many varying identities that they themselves don't know who they really are and tend to question their true personality quite often. they have a hard time understanding their own feelings and where they belong in the world, and ironically most of the time understand others emotions and feelings much more than they understand their own. most entps that i have met are very charismatic and zone off easily as well as not being very upfront about how they feel. as you said in the video, they seem to undermine the importance of their opinion/feelings with most matters. as an intp, entps are actually quite hard to understand unlike almost every type. by hanging around most types, i can get a jest of who they are as a person after a few hours/days of meeting them, but entps are very different since i dont see them being their true selves unless you get extremely close to them ( which i have not managed to do yet ) and thats a little infuriating to me because i dont like filters but at the same time it is intriguing (??). my thoughts that ive explained here are just what i have managed to gather from my experiences with them, so im not sure if i am entirely accurate or not, but i hope that ive been at least a little bit helpful. ( ironically, entp is one of my favorite types as an intp because they are a little more challenging to comprehend and that gives me a little adrenaline rush ) to all entps reading this, i can see right through you 🥯👏 im also sorry if my analysis was a little hard to follow i have a hard time explaining my thoughts most of the time
You said it; I am old now and have learned a few things, especially to be my own self, at least I learned to work at it. Got a bit better by the time I hit 70; An INTP friend helped me with that, my favourite type because I find them similar but more grounded and I can respect them. They are also never boring and seem to see right through me so I don't pull all the BS I do with others. That makes me respect them very much especially since I experience them as respecting the real me. Sadly, right now I don't have a single INTP in my life, and in this time we are living in, I have learned to "argue" with imaginary people in my head; it is just to exercise it; ENTP's are not true extraverts, they are ambiverts, so they can function o.k. with the current restrictions. I thank you for your comments, I think you explained it very well, with one caveat: you need to insert punctuations, that will make it easier for non NTPs to understand should they read it. ENTP's have no problem. Stay well, and keep up the thinking.
@V i see what you mean. in my case its more the social standard forcing me to create a separate persona for the public, but it often gets a little tiring to uphold these standards and i wish to differentiate myself, maybe its my crippling individuality complex or maybe its just our fucked up social system who knows lolol;
I am INTP but I can relate to many ENTP traits. What you said about losing valuable items was spot on. I've lost my phone several times, ids, wallets, glasses, you name it. Also the building of flexible plans and backdoors is how I design everything in my life :D
@@NathanJGlass Thank you for replying! I am not sure to be fair, and there are people who can't see how I could be an introvert. I have attributed the high percentage of I instead of E I'm getting in my results, to potential insecurities that close me up, rather than actual introversion.
@@NathanJGlass not necessarily, if it's people I know it's fine. But I do find comfort in small groups or one on one conversations, rather than big groups where everyone is talking but nothing is really being discussed. I've heard from an ESFJ colleague the phrase "I can't be alone, i need to be with people all the time" and this is not something I relate to, at all.
@@morticiapompom ENTP is the most introverted extrovert INTP is the most introverted of all types. Often people mistype ENTPs as INTPs because of this.
I only learned about ENTPs yesterday and been researching it since. Thought the traits seemed very like me, read them out to my wife and she thought it described me to a tee. I now have a better understanding of why I am the way I am.
@@lovewho Appreciate the videos. Would say my wife is a textbook Esfj, it sums up how why can be polar opposite in some things and how we learn a lot from each other. She teases out an emotional side in me and I teach her to be a bit more detached. 😂
Isn’t it somewhat of a relief to find out that’s why you are the way you are? ENTP isn’t the rarest personality but it’s close. It’s especially tough for ENTP children. We are hard for most people to understand and we certainly can burn a lot of bridges along the way but it can be rewarding for the people who do actually get us. We need a support group but you know if an ENTP is in charge of it, it’s not getting done.
Didn’t watch the whole video because when I heard chess I wanted to play it. Sorry, kinda got bored but that doesn’t matter, happens often. Great video pal! I’m not sure which type I am but thank you for reminding me of the thing I love that I haven’t played in a while. Thanks!
I want to know more about ENTPs. They're sooooooo cool (like me.) Understanding yourself and seeing such subtle habits and patterns in myself being reflected and mirrored to me in this way is awesome. It's not even about the fact that I like these traits in myself. I mean that's one of the reasons such keen observations make me happy. What I truly enjoy is the accuracy of the observations. It's brilliant.
This is really interesting. I’m finding that as an ENTP though, as unnatural as it is for me to do so, committing to things that I have no way out of is proving to be the most stabilizing and in turn liberating new way to build my life. This way I can no longer run from my own restless mind. (Which doesn’t work.) Making final decisions means I’ve surrendered and I’m finding that surrender is the ultimate aphrodisiac in all areas of life. 🖤🖤
as an entp, i noticed you changed your shirt and i went looking to see if anyone noticed but i didn't wanna scroll all the way down but i really like your video.
Very good video!! But as an ENTP like Cortez faced with a problem of the crew wanting to leave, that is a typical out-of-box or beyond-the-parameters solution we would do. And when stressed we act with irrattional Se demon, and will burn everything to the ground when crossed, even to spite ourselves. Comfortable with working out another solution to the new problem when the time comes... Typically not having the whole plan figured out.
Dude I LOVE this explanation. Id be hardpressed to find a better explanation on how I analyze every seemingly decision I make. Fantastic viewpoint. I definitely enjoyed it.
I'm surprised I didn't watch this already, go figure. I have someone dear to me that I remember I figured out he was ENTP, like kind of stereo-typically so. He doesn't care for MBTI, because he doesn't like "being put in a box". Well of course he doesn't. He's an Ne-dom and doesn't like the idea of limitations. lol
I'm an Entp and I often find myself interested in very different kinds of people. Here is a brief summary of my friend group of 5: The one I've known the longest is my childhood best friend. She is really naïve and thinks that people always have good intentions. Usually she just ends up getting used, since she isn't the brightest person I know. But I think I'm drawn to her because of her energy and adventurous nature. She really likes to try new things and always has this sparkle in her eyes. Though she can be really reckless at times. Next friend is actually a far relative of mine. She is really organized and loves plain everyday routine. She is like REALLY introverted and I'm pretty sure she has social anxiety or something. She can appear cold and uncaring, but she is like the mom of the group. Usually scolding us and practically keeping us alive. I like her since she can keep everything in place, something I can't do. She is also really good at debating and that's what we mostly do in conversations. My third friend is really edgy and silent. Some may call him "emo", though he isn't one. As far as I know, emo is more like a lifestyle than a personality. He can be depressing at the times and he usually doesn't speak much. It's like we just adopted him. But when he does talk, I think it's really fascinating. He doesn't say much, nor is it interesting, but when he talks about his passion, it's really enchanting. He seems to really appreciate it when we listen to him. Is is sometimes really tiring, but I like how he doesn't let others affect him. He lives his own life and doesn't give a frick about other's opinions. I sometimes find my self thinking about how other people view me. Fourth one is a huge nerd. She is really cheeky and always tries to push her beliefs on us. It can be annoying, like how she always hangs on every little detail. She knows alot about a couple of things. Such as videogames, series etc. But it's really nice to listen to her rambling about something that she likes. Like the previous friend. She could talk about the same subject to the end of the world. I really like how she can stick to one thing and stand byt that. She is childish, but I don't mind. Like the first friend, she is pretty blind when it comes to the negatives of this world, but that's what I would like to be too. She is a true happy-go-lucky person. My friend (friend 2) described me as a "jack of all trades, master of none". It's an English phrase. She said that I'm not dumb, but I'm not the smartest person she knows. (That stung :')) She said I know about a lot of things, but never enough to call me an expert. It's true that I'm not really skilled, thougj I can do a lot of things. Sorry for my bad English, it isn't my first language.
Coming from and ENTP, being a type that is so familiar with entropy and lack of schedule, the idea of a structured person who is not insanely bored with life is fascinating and foreign. This peaks the interest of an ENTP and they will want to know how you do it, sensing the need for structure in their own life.
agree with you on how to seduce entp...with stability, consistency and coherence..hate any kind of limitations, hate to be boxed in..my friends see me as a cat that always manage to land on her feet. so about having a way out is spot on
Pyschopath is what losers label people who are better than them. You arent a pyscho, you're better than them and their arbitrary rules. ENTP FOREVER BABY!
whats wrong with having a more logic-based brain. feelings in arguments can get so annoying that you just give up. this makes you look like you don't value their feelings most of the time and can be seen as you being a psycho- or sociopath.
I'm delighted you're close to an ENTP; it makes the analysis not only spot on but it has a personal, almost kind of loving vibe to it. Listening as an ENTP, I feel buttered up like a stack of pancakes. Also, using an analogy that compares us to high-level chess players? My ego has never blossomed so brightly. I don't know about others, but I am very defensive about my intellect. I feel like we can be severely undervalued on that mark because of our humor, especially if we have a well-developed Fe (so sorry I can get along with people, I guess I'm an idiot.) We're generally seen as clever, but when thinking of smarty pants everyone wants to run over to IPs, and mb INTJ. Which, sure whatever I guess they're fine. Of those, I really only view INTP as on the same level, imo. Ne/Ti combo bb, it's tops. Then at that point, it's down to the individual. Though I'd probably eschew conflict in favor of just sitting and chilling with them; enjoying their acerbic wit. You don't always get access to those thoughts unless you're buds or you're lucky enough to be the person sitting next to them in the back of the class.
I'm an ENTP and frankly, I tire myself out with all the ideas I have - great ones too. My husband is an ESFJ, his stability and ability to sit for hours doing the same thing amazes me. He does keep me focused on what is doable and he pushes us forward. His decisions however, based on Feeling drive me insane because his lack of logic has lost us money - many people take advantage of him and he just doesn't see it. I see it a mile away.
One thing I am really afraid of is that these tests and these kind of videos may have the same effect on people that horoscopes have. Especially for young people since we are still trying to figure out who we are we may just want to believe all this and don't question it.
Spot on. I am an ENTP who fully relates. I had this ESTJ girlfriend where we could accomplish anything in Academic studies together. I was interested in her stability and she in my novelty. But please note these functions of attraction aren't valid to maintain an understanding between the rwo. I can say They are more to complete eachother in a collaboration, not a relationship.
@@NathanJGlass The ESTJ was the manager as you would tell; managing the time and deadlines mostly. The ENTP responsible to come up with many ideas and solutions when needed while the ESTJ working as a filter + funnel and selecting the most practical and relevant ones. Next was pushing the ENTP to finish the chosen one and not roam around in abstract ideas (This was the hard part 😂) but I guess ESTJs have the talent to do so.
I can relate so much to this, because one of my best friends (Estj) and I (Entp) literallly do every single academic thing together, right now I'm president of student's council and she is vice president, I just keep throwing ideas and I'm the one who does all the speeches and general persuading with authorities and such but she makes sure that we get things done, reminds me of everything, and keeps order in my big ass chaos 😂😂 In school work she always does all the practical stuff and I do the theory, I present all of the possibilities and she selects between them. I literally would get nothing done without her 😂🤦♀️ We've been together since pre-school, cause in my country you stay with the same class FOREVER (unless you move or smth) and I still feel that our emotional or personal connection is barely existent lol So yeah, pretty accurate 😂
@@martinaguzman2906 what does it feel like to sacrifice your independence to follow someone else's rules? As an ENTP, it sounds disgusting and horrible.
Me in middle school: *does advanced math* “Ah yes I’m good at math” *misses the multiplication sign in PEMDAS problems* Doesn’t happen anymore but I embarrassed myself more than once doing that.
Lol, I’m an ENTP and I’m so bored with math because I already know how to do it hence why when I was in middle school I did high school math. But in high school I do the stuff I already learned. My only problems is remembering all the formulas and sometimes adding or not adding a 10 or 1 because I didn’t carry it over in my head... because fuck writing it in paper like my inferior class mates

ENTP: Purposely triggers someone and has a full on argument
Also ENTP: ay u mad bro?
When I am stuck with boring people and conversation I automatically seem to throw a "verbal bamb" into the room; (I might not even believe in what I am throwing out as a challenge). The result is usually quite exhilarating but only for a short time; then I get away as fast as possible because their arguing is quite boring. I am known to be a "trouble-maker; sad, I just want everybody to start using their brains, I don't get why that is so bad.

As an entp, I'm insanely attracted to chaotic dreamers, fascinated with the world. I love the spark in their eyes when they tell me about things theyre passionate about. I love when they look at the stars and tell me how pretty they are, even if they don't know any constellations. I love artists, I love poets, I love people who are unapologetically themselves. Routine bores me and I find myself being attracted to people who have something weird, interesting, uncommon to offer. It's just so magical to find a person like that
I'm similar, though I'm more attracted to people who are passionate about things. They don't have to be chaotic, though I just like being a witness to people following their goals and trying their best. I also like it when people are bold in a good way. Not to the point of being overly forceful though. It's just that I tend to dress quite boldly and to be myself, so I want to be with someone who can boldly be themselves. I don't like it when people pretend to like something I like or lie about who they are. Recently I got close to someone like that, but I saw the red flags really quickly and stopped talking to them. When we started talking, it seemed like we had a lot in common, but sometimes I wonder if that was the case. Good thing I stopped talking to them.
Nothing is more attractive than an xSFP doing what he/she is passionate, most of my love stories include dancers, musicians and visual artists because their spontaneousness and strong ideals complement very well my constant brain storm of analysis in possibilities
xNFP are inspiring, even delighting me sometimes.
xNTP are interesting friends or opponents.
xSxx and xxxJ are too shallow/narrow, often, excepting INFJ maybe.

im an ENTP, just realised when you say the "seduce" thing, that every single person i ever feel atracted to and fell in love to, were people specially well organized and very stable, every single one.
This may be part of the nature/nurture debate in character formation. Are NTP's products of unstable Feelers? Do Enneagram #3s and #4s create #7s and #8s? Why do you use the word "person" instead of woman? Ambivalence or political correctness? Try digging up Neil Young's A MAN NEEDS A MAID for a lyrical response to your insight.

The sensing problem is something I know too well. I wrote a biology exam once and in one task you were supposed to analyse a diagram. For some reason I completely overlooked the fact that the chemical substances needed were written right underneath it. I thought of doutzen ways the graphs could hint to which substance, after i submitted the exam everyone told me that the answer to that question was already given. Never felt so stupid.

the amount of times I’ve missed details in school is just uncountable at this point, and you just made me have an epiphany on my Ne, see because I’m still trying to see If I’m REALLY an Entp, and you made me realise that half of the reason why I don’t get full marks or no marks for questions is because I go through this process of step 1. Missing curcial detail of information step 2 coming up with so many possibilities to solve the question and so many different interpretations I get confused and just settle on the most logical one according to my logic (Ti) step 3.

But I thank you for making this video, this is how I am too.

I agree with this. This honestly makes me feel bad at times and it can make social life difficult.
I kinda get it now. When I was in school I was always drawn to ENTPs and they to me. It's strange though how the quietest guy and the loudest asshole - a seemingly unsuitable pair - can understand one another at some deeper level.

I freak out and look for my glasses while I’m wearing them. And all the while think the other person is stupid because they get lost when I ask them if a donated organ is still part of themselves, or if it’s just an organ and not an actual part of a person’s identity.
Your body isnt always or necessarilly you. Fat gets pooped out or whatever. Organs get removed, limbs get lost occasionally. Think about hair and fingernails and skin cells. Every cell in your body gets replaced multiple times in your life. Its all perspective. You can even be the exact same person with half of your brain surgically removed.
Weirdest thing since finding out about these fun acronyms, is how someone can just describe my thought process. Tf. This is how I’ve thought since I was a kid, and someone has insight on it? Fricking weird
Glad you liked it! ~ Nathan
that's exactly how i feel! it's so weird seeing all my insecurities and things i could never stand abt myself being so openly discussed and analysed because apparently they are typical for my personality... somewhat stripping me of my individualism in a way
My husband is an ENTP. I always thought it was so odd that he literally argues the devils advocate or the opposite of my point when I KNOW HE ACTUALLY AGREES with me. It's like I can see the the wheels turning in his head and a smirk, like he knows that I know he is just trying to get a rise out of me or see how strongly I think about my point. Like a test!
Fascinating.....
-INTJ wife.
I'm an ENTP and I do that all the time with my husband. I love the testing and sparring no matter what the subject or what side I'm on. Apparently I also smirk which he hates with a vengeance 😂.
This sounds incredibly charming. 😅
I was recently accused of being a "Devil's Advocate" and it made me dislike the word a little because I actually believed in it, and even if I didn't, it doesn't mean there's no merit or reason behind it, calling it "Devil's" anything reduces it to a binary "good vs. evil" thinking which is quite reductive..
I keep testing between intp and entp and it bothers me that both seem to fit to some extent, but I can't measure exactly which one fits better.

@@NathanJGlass Your comments about chess strategy made you come across stereotypically INTJ-ish, but I think it would be a mistake to type based on that perspective, or this video, alone. Hopefully that's not her only reason.
Mature ENTPs are mistaken with INTJs
@@myshafa77 Why? What do ENTP's and INTJ's even have in common?
@@NathanJGlass I really think you're an INTJ too. I felt strong Ti vibes when you were talking so I might be wrong. But I've recently really gotten into this theory that this channel INFP&INTJ coffee are researching about subconscious body movements in mbti types. The way your eyes focus on one area when lost in thought and alternate between 2 points horizontally is very typical of an Ni user. You can look into this more if you're interested they have a vid on it and I've seen it in many people who match Ni behaviour. What type do you think you are?
He’s stated before that he may be an INTP. Id side with him being an NTP than an NTJ. I think some of the things that may make him seem like a J are the fact that he is to the point and clear cut with the things he says, he presents his information orderly and concisely. The question then comes as to why he does things this way. We know that he’s an advocate for the 48 laws of power and he has stated that he uses the laws a lot. Adapting new ideas into your lifestyle and implementing them into it will without a doubt make you a more balanced individual. Many of the valuable things we learn in life are often representations of stereotypical concepts of different function stacks. An example would be an INFP hearing the phrase “live in the moment”, which is stereotypically an Se attribute, and as a result, internalizing it, understanding it and implementing it to their daily life. Another example would be the book itself, which has many lessons that relate to the way different types may view things. Some of the laws involve using empathy as a way to navigate which stereotypically relates to Fe, considering the others needs, and some of the laws involve the idea of totally destroying your enemy which can stereotypically relate to Se or Te concepts of winning.
That said I think he’s definitely an NTP. I get the sense that his reasoning for doing these videos has less to do with gaining something or achieving a goal than it has to do with him just being genuinely interested in talking about it. He also has an aptitude for noticing specific variables and clarifying their importance to the system he wishes to explain thoroughly. I notice he seems to have more of a preference for explaining things accurately but I notice that he is very careful not to over explain things the way most Ti users would. And given his knowledge of the 48 laws it probably comes from the law to “always say less than necessary”.
At school, because of my lack of sensory awareness, I have lost marks on tests because I accidentally tick the wrong box or something but probably because of ego, I don’t check it again.
This makes my heart warm. 😭 I mean, I am always misunderstood by most people. And you definitely made me feel like understood. Especially when you’re discussing how we are not able to give an answer base on personal preference. It’s rare for me to have a bias opinion on something because I see all the sides to every topic. And with that being said, thank you.

Anyways, my roommate is an ENTP too, and the same amount of enthusiasm for wins and analyzing fails is so true. She also gets super excited about having a bunch of open ended possibilities, where as I want just one good possibility. I end up thinking a couple of slightly amusing things about ENTPs and their disregard for the physical world including but not limited to losing valuable objects. Things like “I love ENTPs, they are the most intelligent airheads I’ve ever met!” And “ENTPs have their third eye open, but the other two are shut.” I still love them, but they are comical.

Nathan Glass by not acceptable for TH-cam you mean they show too much nipple? And yes, I do think your right ISTPs and ENTPs do make a good team in many cases. I do tend to take their suggestions more often than other people, but I also turn down more of their suggestions than other people’s. I think that’s just because they just make a ton of suggestions in general.

The positional player part is so spot on. That's the strategy I apply on both my work and life. I just hate it to death when people try to box ideas, solutions, or anything. In that case, I'm so overwhelmed with my thoughts about consequencial issues when they try to simplify things which are actually very complicated and may cause bigger problems afterwards.
You hit the nail on the head with the overarching need for flexibility.
Being an entp personality type, i am often misunderstood as a cocky individual who lacks empathy and consideration to other people’s opinions. It’s not like i do this on purpose but whenever there is lack of depth and logic in arguments i get carried away and that i feel is my biggest insecurity lately and a trigger for situational social anxiety. Apart from that, i am chill and have a selective and supportive friend circle whom i can rely on every now and then.
the chess analogy was perfect
basically to summarize having more power and options is key

I have watched every one of your xNTx videos multiple times and I, to a high degree, find myself in all of them, so why, now, do I find myself further confused and conflicted when while watching I feel so relieved to have found the answer!!? I need to move on and I can’t cause there is no one final answer! The lack of clarity and certainty is leaving me paralyzed while the feeling of being able to morph into anyone on those types gives me a sense of freedom.

I honestly get the sense that you read a comment I posted on someone's channel about when I used to lay beatings down on the President of my Universities Chess Club back in day in college.
This guy was an epic chess player. He would play games against 5 or 6 people at a time at the Universities lounge. Just walking up and down the tables moving pieces and winning every game.
Quiet, calculating, and silently smug bastard, I liked him 😆. I decided we should be frenemies.
I watched his games against others and noticed he would rely and lean on certain pieces to maneuver and combo with.
I was more or less equally good or bad with all pieces no matter what stage I was in as a game progressed.
He noticed me cracking jokes and talking shit more or less one day with some friends about him whooping all those people up at once by using the same old routine.
He challenged me to a game and I set out on destroying all his favorite pieces. Sacrificing my more valuable pieces to kamikaze his piece preference.
He was playing to check me, I was playing to fuck with him. At the final stage of the game both of our armies were in shambles and scattered all over the board. Chaos to him, but just another day for me.
When I checked him he was stunned and all the little chess junkies around the table were either laughing in praise or saying good game.
He never beat me in a game, ever. I am sure he hated me as a person first (I used to run my mouth a lot), but I know he respected me in the end.
Sometimes he would scold me in disgust for losing to people he never lost to (like it was a blight on him that the guy he lost to all the time lost to an inferior being or something) and would earnestly try to council me on strategy. But usually those people were newer at chess and would try things I had never seen before (usually out of incompetence) and I wasn't really concerned with beating them. Just curious to see what they would do next and would play along just to see what they were trying to do, sometimes to a point where I couldn't recover. It was more fun in a way, being a tourist in strange new ways of thinking.
But overall I do enjoy stable friends. To me people are like gunpowder and I am a alchemist from olden times. The more stable the gunpowder recipe the less of a chance I blow my fingers off while trying new things and experimenting with them.

As an ENTP I can relate wholeheartedly with how much I hate answering “what’s your favorite _______?” questions. Usually I prefer several things if any given category for different reasons. I also recognize that I probably rarely know of the “best” of any particular thing (however theoretical the existence of such is).
While sometimes there are objective answers to “what’s the best ______?” type questions, I typically don’t like to try to answer these, or give much weight to answers to these from others because the answer is invariable clouded by confirmation bias and how one’s perspective is shaped by their personal experience and knowledge.
In the best cases (😉), some experts in a field can get as close as humanly possible to objectively answering what the “best” is (best process, best material for some purpose, best equation, etc.), but even then, that is merely the best at that very moment in time, and subject to change with further advances in that given field or subject, so what’s the point in qualifying it to begin with?
But I digress... frequently 🤣
Thanks, you wrote what I would have written had I listened to this earlier. More time to check something else out.
As a fellow female ENTP, I strongly agree on the main conflict. My infj Friend often asks me what's my favorite food, drink or anything. I get so frustrated with that answer because to me, there is no such thing as best. Even if you've eaten or experienced a very good thing, comparing to other experiences it would still not be the best or favorite thing. It's just not it. And another thing that I find it challenging for me, is that it's so hard for me to love a thing entirely without realizing any mistake or a fault? Like I've just read the book better than the movies. Everyone, like every human being that has read it, loves that book. I actually didn't like it as much. Because although the main male character is also ENTP and most of the things he made is somewhat reasonable. I didn't like it as such. Or maybe I thought that the ending wasn't enough for me. I don't know! But it's hard to love something blindly without figuring out the cons.
Ah shi... I meant question not answer...
I'm an ENTP and an active chess player or athlete, I agree on the positional players part because I'm into openings that gives me an advantage based on the position and it doesn't matter if I'm a pawn down or a piece down, there are times that I'm 2 piece down but won in the end(happens rarely). Appreciate you tackling this idea
1:11 please continue this later! I loved your theory and am so curious to hear more! Please explain further!!

Interesting attraction theory. It's true that many of us respect and admire those who are able to do what we cannot. I'm of the opinion that the best romantic connections are made between two types who share the same dominant function with different attitudes (e.g. Ni + Ne). In this case, the perceiving/decision-making function is the same coin with two sides, leading to an easier, automatic understanding of the other's language. Yet, it's different enough where it allows each person to GROW in the relationship, and, not necessarily balance, but COMPLEMENT each other's strengths.
As an INFJ, I've noticed that I don't value or admire those who have high Se. Now, it may be because I'm a rather athletically gifted INFJ and have practiced sports since I was a child and am in an Se field of work. Moreover, the lead Se's I've met tend to focus on the here and now without delving into the how or why, which is something my Ni hungers for; in essence, I find their thought process, without trying to be condescending, rather dull and superficial. To be fair, I've never dated an Se lead, so I can't comment on how different it is. However, I have noticed that I value and envy those who have strong Si.
I am a male INFJ dating a female ENTP. I was surprised to discover that she remembers things very well. I attribute this to two things: 1) she is a female, and neurologically speaking, women do tend to have better memory as their brains are designed to connect everything to each other with the attachment of certain emotions, which are used for bookmarking strong experiences (and therefore strong memories). 2) She aspires to be good at her Si and she's matured to the point that she is able to use it exceptionally well. Whenever she's in debate mode (70% of the time), she will use her personal experiences and anecdotes of others to corroborate her claims. This bothers me at times because they're not Te objective facts, but she is using her Si to back up her Ti in her arguments. That's not to say she doesn't use objective facts at all; she does. But she does falter in her objectivity at times when she starts using Si and/or Fe and prioritizing it over Te for the sake of satisfying her Ti.
Your summary of ENTPs constantly having a way out is spot on. I am always taken aback when my gf ends up in an undesirable situation but ends up coming up with a couple solutions almost immediately. With that being said, her flexibility does come at the price of a lack of commitment and making decisions at the last minute. It's saved us in certain circumstances but has harmed us in others.
I am an infj female and my entp boyfriend also has an amazing memory. Maybe it is just an entp thing?
@@yr2232 yep, probably. It actually is an Entp thing.
hi! just an intp's perspective on entps
from my experiences with them they are extremely good at "matching energy" with people. and by that i mean that entps probably have different personalities depending on which friend they are talking too, sometimes even having so many varying identities that they themselves don't know who they really are and tend to question their true personality quite often. they have a hard time understanding their own feelings and where they belong in the world, and ironically most of the time understand others emotions and feelings much more than they understand their own. most entps that i have met are very charismatic and zone off easily as well as not being very upfront about how they feel. as you said in the video, they seem to undermine the importance of their opinion/feelings with most matters. as an intp, entps are actually quite hard to understand unlike almost every type. by hanging around most types, i can get a jest of who they are as a person after a few hours/days of meeting them, but entps are very different since i dont see them being their true selves unless you get extremely close to them ( which i have not managed to do yet ) and thats a little infuriating to me because i dont like filters but at the same time it is intriguing (??). my thoughts that ive explained here are just what i have managed to gather from my experiences with them, so im not sure if i am entirely accurate or not, but i hope that ive been at least a little bit helpful. ( ironically, entp is one of my favorite types as an intp because they are a little more challenging to comprehend and that gives me a little adrenaline rush )
to all entps reading this, i can see right through you 🥯👏
im also sorry if my analysis was a little hard to follow i have a hard time explaining my thoughts most of the time
You said it; I am old now and have learned a few things, especially to be my own self, at least I learned to work at it. Got a bit better by the time I hit 70; An INTP friend helped me with that, my favourite type because I find them similar but more grounded and I can respect them. They are also never boring and seem to see right through me so I don't pull all the BS I do with others. That makes me respect them very much especially since I experience them as respecting the real me. Sadly, right now I don't have a single INTP in my life, and in this time we are living in, I have learned to "argue" with imaginary people in my head; it is just to exercise it; ENTP's are not true extraverts, they are ambiverts, so they can function o.k. with the current restrictions. I thank you for your comments, I think you explained it very well, with one caveat: you need to insert punctuations, that will make it easier for non NTPs to understand should they read it. ENTP's have no problem. Stay well, and keep up the thinking.
You explained well, I was able to follow with no issue
@@crunkdatmisu thank you!
@V i see what you mean. in my case its more the social standard forcing me to create a separate persona for the public, but it often gets a little tiring to uphold these standards and i wish to differentiate myself, maybe its my crippling individuality complex or maybe its just our fucked up social system who knows lolol;
I am INTP but I can relate to many ENTP traits. What you said about losing valuable items was spot on. I've lost my phone several times, ids, wallets, glasses, you name it. Also the building of flexible plans and backdoors is how I design everything in my life :D
@@NathanJGlass Thank you for replying! I am not sure to be fair, and there are people who can't see how I could be an introvert. I have attributed the high percentage of I instead of E I'm getting in my results, to potential insecurities that close me up, rather than actual introversion.
@@NathanJGlass not necessarily, if it's people I know it's fine. But I do find comfort in small groups or one on one conversations, rather than big groups where everyone is talking but nothing is really being discussed. I've heard from an ESFJ colleague the phrase "I can't be alone, i need to be with people all the time" and this is not something I relate to, at all.
@@morticiapompom
ENTP is the most introverted extrovert
INTP is the most introverted of all types.
Often people mistype ENTPs as INTPs because of this.
Nicely done you nailed the ENTP from an ENTPs perspective
Oh and it’s currently 3:54 am as I watched this.
It's 4:58 whilst I'm watching this 😬
I've been typed as an ESTP, ISTP, ESFP, and ENFP... that last has definitely been most accurate of all, but I really resonate with ENTP too.
I only learned about ENTPs yesterday and been researching it since. Thought the traits seemed very like me, read them out to my wife and she thought it described me to a tee. I now have a better understanding of why I am the way I am.
That's great to hear! ~ Nathan
@@lovewho Appreciate the videos. Would say my wife is a textbook Esfj, it sums up how why can be polar opposite in some things and how we learn a lot from each other. She teases out an emotional side in me and I teach her to be a bit more detached. 😂
Isn’t it somewhat of a relief to find out that’s why you are the way you are? ENTP isn’t the rarest personality but it’s close. It’s especially tough for ENTP children. We are hard for most people to understand and we certainly can burn a lot of bridges along the way but it can be rewarding for the people who do actually get us. We need a support group but you know if an ENTP is in charge of it, it’s not getting done.
Didn’t watch the whole video because when I heard chess I wanted to play it. Sorry, kinda got bored but that doesn’t matter, happens often. Great video pal! I’m not sure which type I am but thank you for reminding me of the thing I love that I haven’t played in a while. Thanks!
this was aweomse! great job, very true, insigthful and entertaining.
you missed their argumentative nature which is the most prominant. they love arguing with people for the sake of arguing.
I want to know more about ENTPs.
They're sooooooo cool (like me.)
Understanding yourself and seeing such subtle habits and patterns in myself being reflected and mirrored to me in this way is awesome.
It's not even about the fact that I like these traits in myself. I mean that's one of the reasons such keen observations make me happy.
What I truly enjoy is the accuracy of the observations.
It's brilliant.
This is really interesting. I’m finding that as an ENTP though, as unnatural as it is for me to do so, committing to things that I have no way out of is proving to be the most stabilizing and in turn liberating new way to build my life. This way I can no longer run from my own restless mind. (Which doesn’t work.) Making final decisions means I’ve surrendered and I’m finding that surrender is the ultimate aphrodisiac in all areas of life. 🖤🖤
Lol just be consistent. I swear I’m like so intrigued on what magic dust you’re covered in
as an entp, i noticed you changed your shirt and i went looking to see if anyone noticed but i didn't wanna scroll all the way down but i really like your video.
I feel called out how could you know me so well, damn
You put it in words better than I do, especially that fear of limitations
@@pappiyah LIKEEEE!!! I feel very attacked 😭 😭 😭
Very good video!! But as an ENTP like Cortez faced with a problem of the crew wanting to leave, that is a typical out-of-box or beyond-the-parameters solution we would do. And when stressed we act with irrattional Se demon, and will burn everything to the ground when crossed, even to spite ourselves. Comfortable with working out another solution to the new problem when the time comes... Typically not having the whole plan figured out.
Still on point excellent videos. Better than others I've seen... And you know I've seen them all !!! You should collab with Davesuperpowers
Dude I LOVE this explanation. Id be hardpressed to find a better explanation on how I analyze every seemingly decision I make. Fantastic viewpoint. I definitely enjoyed it.
Haha, using chess to describe entp’s mindsets was really spot on, my dad who is a entp absolutely loves chess so much so there’s that too.
Besides the info in the video, you got real good sense of humor 😹😹🤩
I'm surprised I didn't watch this already, go figure.
I have someone dear to me that I remember I figured out he was ENTP, like kind of stereo-typically so. He doesn't care for MBTI, because he doesn't like "being put in a box". Well of course he doesn't. He's an Ne-dom and doesn't like the idea of limitations. lol
Yes they're one of the types most likely to resist/dislike this idea of classifying/limiting their personalities ~ Nathan
I'm an Entp and I often find myself interested in very different kinds of people. Here is a brief summary of my friend group of 5:
The one I've known the longest is my childhood best friend. She is really naïve and thinks that people always have good intentions. Usually she just ends up getting used, since she isn't the brightest person I know. But I think I'm drawn to her because of her energy and adventurous nature. She really likes to try new things and always has this sparkle in her eyes. Though she can be really reckless at times.
Next friend is actually a far relative of mine. She is really organized and loves plain everyday routine. She is like REALLY introverted and I'm pretty sure she has social anxiety or something. She can appear cold and uncaring, but she is like the mom of the group. Usually scolding us and practically keeping us alive. I like her since she can keep everything in place, something I can't do. She is also really good at debating and that's what we mostly do in conversations.
My third friend is really edgy and silent. Some may call him "emo", though he isn't one. As far as I know, emo is more like a lifestyle than a personality. He can be depressing at the times and he usually doesn't speak much. It's like we just adopted him. But when he does talk, I think it's really fascinating. He doesn't say much, nor is it interesting, but when he talks about his passion, it's really enchanting. He seems to really appreciate it when we listen to him. Is is sometimes really tiring, but I like how he doesn't let others affect him. He lives his own life and doesn't give a frick about other's opinions. I sometimes find my self thinking about how other people view me.
Fourth one is a huge nerd. She is really cheeky and always tries to push her beliefs on us. It can be annoying, like how she always hangs on every little detail. She knows alot about a couple of things. Such as videogames, series etc. But it's really nice to listen to her rambling about something that she likes. Like the previous friend. She could talk about the same subject to the end of the world. I really like how she can stick to one thing and stand byt that. She is childish, but I don't mind. Like the first friend, she is pretty blind when it comes to the negatives of this world, but that's what I would like to be too. She is a true happy-go-lucky person.
My friend (friend 2) described me as a "jack of all trades, master of none". It's an English phrase. She said that I'm not dumb, but I'm not the smartest person she knows. (That stung :')) She said I know about a lot of things, but never enough to call me an expert.
It's true that I'm not really skilled, thougj I can do a lot of things.
Sorry for my bad English, it isn't my first language.
Well done! Spot on insights!
Coming from and ENTP, being a type that is so familiar with entropy and lack of schedule, the idea of a structured person who is not insanely bored with life is fascinating and foreign. This peaks the interest of an ENTP and they will want to know how you do it, sensing the need for structure in their own life.
agree with you on how to seduce entp...with stability, consistency and coherence..hate any kind of limitations, hate to be boxed in..my friends see me as a cat that always manage to land on her feet. so about having a way out is spot on
Muyang Wang funny you should mention a box and a cat in the same sentence
Ever heard of Schrodinger’s Cat?
This was fantastic. I'm an ENTP and I agree with you. I'm looking forward to seeing more.
If you completely agree, you are probably not an ENTP heh
The first time I took one of those tests I got ENTP and it was so freakishly spot on it was scary. And it revealed how much of psychopath I am.
Pyschopath is what losers label people who are better than them. You arent a pyscho, you're better than them and their arbitrary rules. ENTP FOREVER BABY!
Heck yeah
whats wrong with having a more logic-based brain. feelings in arguments can get so annoying that you just give up. this makes you look like you don't value their feelings most of the time and can be seen as you being a psycho- or sociopath.
@@asgerjrgensen1912 i'm gonna report you for being so accurate frfr
I'm delighted you're close to an ENTP; it makes the analysis not only spot on but it has a personal, almost kind of loving vibe to it. Listening as an ENTP, I feel buttered up like a stack of pancakes. Also, using an analogy that compares us to high-level chess players? My ego has never blossomed so brightly. I don't know about others, but I am very defensive about my intellect. I feel like we can be severely undervalued on that mark because of our humor, especially if we have a well-developed Fe (so sorry I can get along with people, I guess I'm an idiot.) We're generally seen as clever, but when thinking of smarty pants everyone wants to run over to IPs, and mb INTJ. Which, sure whatever I guess they're fine. Of those, I really only view INTP as on the same level, imo. Ne/Ti combo bb, it's tops. Then at that point, it's down to the individual. Though I'd probably eschew conflict in favor of just sitting and chilling with them; enjoying their acerbic wit. You don't always get access to those thoughts unless you're buds or you're lucky enough to be the person sitting next to them in the back of the class.
I got an entp friend and he's always dreamy 😂😂 sometimes sais weird things, act like an idiot but very smart !
I relate 🤣
Amazing breakdown!!! I'm an ENTP and a chess player, so what he said about positional chess hit the bullseye real hard. That's so me 😅
As an ENTP myself... A C C U R A T E
Your explanation is sooo amazing
I'm an ENTP and frankly, I tire myself out with all the ideas I have - great ones too. My husband is an ESFJ, his stability and ability to sit for hours doing the same thing amazes me. He does keep me focused on what is doable and he pushes us forward. His decisions however, based on Feeling drive me insane because his lack of logic has lost us money - many people take advantage of him and he just doesn't see it. I see it a mile away.
Nathan... you are making me doubt myself more and more about my own type. You are the first one to achieve this (must be the chess analogy...)
One thing I am really afraid of is that these tests and these kind of videos may have the same effect on people that horoscopes have. Especially for young people since we are still trying to figure out who we are we may just want to believe all this and don't question it.
Spot on. I am an ENTP who fully relates. I had this ESTJ girlfriend where we could accomplish anything in Academic studies together. I was interested in her stability and she in my novelty.
But please note these functions of attraction aren't valid to maintain an understanding between the rwo. I can say They are more to complete eachother in a collaboration, not a relationship.
@@NathanJGlass The ESTJ was the manager as you would tell; managing the time and deadlines mostly. The ENTP responsible to come up with many ideas and solutions when needed while the ESTJ working as a filter + funnel and selecting the most practical and relevant ones. Next was pushing the ENTP to finish the chosen one and not roam around in abstract ideas (This was the hard part 😂) but I guess ESTJs have the talent to do so.
I can relate so much to this, because one of my best friends (Estj) and I (Entp) literallly do every single academic thing together, right now I'm president of student's council and she is vice president, I just keep throwing ideas and I'm the one who does all the speeches and general persuading with authorities and such but she makes sure that we get things done, reminds me of everything, and keeps order in my big ass chaos 😂😂 In school work she always does all the practical stuff and I do the theory, I present all of the possibilities and she selects between them. I literally would get nothing done without her 😂🤦♀️ We've been together since pre-school, cause in my country you stay with the same class FOREVER (unless you move or smth) and I still feel that our emotional or personal connection is barely existent lol So yeah, pretty accurate 😂
@@martinaguzman2906 what does it feel like to sacrifice your independence to follow someone else's rules? As an ENTP, it sounds disgusting and horrible.
Eager to listen to all the thoughts about each personality type, really, you communicate well and speak your truth.
This was too on point. My plans always come with a backdoor or four.
Or 10 or some crazy shit happens and the plan is not valid anymore
OMG I checked out the NTP discord forum... it seems like madness... (it might just be the right time right place that I witnessed a clash)
Did you make that up? The kite dancing in a hurricane? Great line.
Me in middle school:
*does advanced math* “Ah yes I’m good at math”
*misses the multiplication sign in PEMDAS problems*
Doesn’t happen anymore but I embarrassed myself more than once doing that.
SAME
Lol, I’m an ENTP and I’m so bored with math because I already know how to do it hence why when I was in middle school I did high school math. But in high school I do the stuff I already learned. My only problems is remembering all the formulas and sometimes adding or not adding a 10 or 1 because I didn’t carry it over in my head... because fuck writing it in paper like my inferior class mates
I generally don't have any problem when doing advanced mathematics but will make very stupid mistakes like doing addition or subtraction wrong
Lol, same bro. I also gave back my work extremely late and dirty. I would usually manage to get the points nobody else got, though.

You have some good insights, thanks.
I'm and ISTP and ENTP is one of my most favorite mbti types.
