To the point of entps not thinking infjs are weird: I don't think that we think anyone is weird (or we think everyone is weird). For me there is no weird and normal, only smart and not so smart.
@@Julia-LArt Get better positions and opportunities to ourselves. Always searching for tactical advantage, meanwhile widen our vision and possibilities. Always looking for consequences and rewards.
Where are all of these people that want to talk for hours about stuff. As an ENTP myself, basically all the people I've encountered are not willing to talk or debate stuff. Which bores the hell out of me. And I seem to bore them just as much. Also, great video!
DiNozzo431 I am not so much interested in debating but I have found that I generally have great conversations with the ENTPs I have encountered in general:) And thanks!
DiNozzo431 I agree. I feel like everytime I talk to my wife about an idea or something learned recently, she seems as if she isn't interested. Then she gets offend when I disprove an idea of hers or something a friend of hers told her. Still love her though.
ENTP female here. I don't seek out debates. I like to just bounce with ideas after I have found friends. but I do believe a lot of people have probably gotten irritated with my way of debating. maybe I should be seeking out debates with people? idk. I currently have two INFJ friends (that I know of). one male one female. I choose my debates wisely because most people get irritated with discussion. I suppose that makes me in the same boat as yourself. I litter won't go to Bible studies though unless there is room for creative interpretation. I can't STAND going off a script and just having rote answers. what am I, a robot? I love love love debating and just the bounce and flow of ideas and learning ahhh I'm getting all excited thinking about it. hahaha
You're unfortunate enough to not have met any friends that operate on anything even close to your intellectual level. I've been extremely blessed in that area. It takes an incredible amount of work-around to trick yourself into enjoying talking to most people. With the right people conversational arguments just flow naturally, and it's fantastic.
I like to put the connection between INFJs and ENTPs (I'm one) in this one sentence: *_"An ENTP can show the INFJ the outside world, but an INFJ can show the ENTP his inside world."_* And yes, I totally just made that one up, but I think it's very true. The way that INFJs can understand us is beyond incredible and you (INFJs) can by far explain us way better than we can explain ourselves, which is quite recordbreaking considering that our nickname is the "debaters" and that for a good reason. You really know how we tick, I love it !
INTP is said to be the Golden Pair for INFJ, but ENTP works because they add in the Extroversion that INTP lacks. With ENTP having goals and ambition in life, actually wanting to step-up and do better, they never feel good enough, meanwhile INTP is lazy, they don't care to do hardly anything. So, the ENTP is far more demanding on themselves, and that is great for getting the more Ambivert/Introverted INFJ out of their shell, and socializing with other people IRL offline ~
I'm married to an INFJ, and I don't have to explain why the very idea of getting married was never a real consideration until I met her. Best decision I ever made of course, and without the slightest hesitation or doubt.
I’m an INFJ, married to my ENTP for 17 years!!! Excellent balance, great communication, always exciting conversation... we spend tons of time together. Anyway, I enjoyed this video! Great insights.
it's really interesting to see the way other INFJs go off into their head (when looking away from the camera, etc.). it's like we're having a conversation with ourselves before we extrovert what's going on inside
Thats because once you find out you are an ENTP you search and learn about it. This video just showed up when I searched....she is very accurate about ENTPs. -ENTP
I'm an ENTP and INFJs seem to find me. My twin is INFJ, my husband is one, my former mentor is one (and her husband was ENTP), and another friend of mine is one. And one of my best friends is a fellow ENTP. I say he's like the male version of myself in a lot of ways. We have a grand old time debating each other. I must be really lucky :)
Haha as an ENTP I'm feeling so flattered by your video. You give me a really good feel in my gut from all your good saying about "us". But you shouldn't forget that there are weaknesses to ENTP's as well. Such as we easily get bored with what we're doing which resultes in jumping from activity to activity. ENTP's can also have a problem in relationships because of their "discussions" which can easily be taken for arguing. I'm ENTP:ing all over this place. Sorry.
INFJ's struggle with that too but I don't see it as a weakness. Plus there are ways to defuse situations and make the other parties understand that it is just a discussion and it's up to them to decide if they like the subject or feel too much discomfort thinking about the topic, then you ask why they have this discomfort and listen to what they say because sometimes the reasons are interesting and... I'm INFJ:ing all over this place, aren't I? Sorry.
As an ENTP, I wouldn’t want to date another one because we’re too self-centered. I am very intrigued by ENFP’s. They are just as clever and fun, but are also nicer.
It's just because of your Ne that naturally makes you easily bored. Ni people on the other hand are hardly bored but they can feel not intellectually stimulated enough and get bored because of that. But it's true you guys tend to argue about everything even if it's just to discuss about it and sometimes we can't make any progress in a discussion and come to the main point because we have to argue/discuss every previous point. For most people discussing is reaching the main point and possibly come to an agreement and end the discussion but you guys want to discuss every single point when it's sometimes less interesting than the main one and you're missing this more valuable insight. As INFJs we get that easily because usually when we engage in a conversation we already have the main point in mind early on and we get misunderstood regularly because others need more time to figure out the depth we're already at. We're going too fast and you guys are going too slow basically so we both get misunderstood in discussions. I'm not judging anything btw, that's just an observation.
@@backcountyrpilot yeah me too..I thought I wouldn't get along with another ENTP because of this..nd the moment I notice I'm giving more even if it's 52% that's 2% more I would step back..but I do get along with others as friends not partners tho
as an ENTP I feel so attracted to INFJs I think they're very interresting and charming and I feel like I want to open them up and see what"s inside them
I’m an INFJ married to an ENTP and this is rather spot on. Also, your cadence and eye movements when speaking are uncannily similar to mine! Love to find INFJ sisters ☺️
This is interesting. My father was an INFJ and I am an ENTP. I don't think we ever had a "shallow" conversation. One night we stayed up till 3AM having a fiery (loud) discussion about the idea of insanity as a criminal defense. We realized that we were saying the same thing, but I had a very "roundabout" journey of complicated reasoning to arrive there, while he was very direct. He was my best friend and probably the only person who has ever really understood me. I miss him terribly ☹️
As an INFJ, this is all so true about ENTPs! I love figuring them out; absolutely romantically attracted to them, as well. I always have the “meatiest”, intelligent conversations with them - never boring, have a calming way about them, and the best, creative senses of humor! Could talk with them for DAYS. 🤣🤣
Yesterday I discovered why it is I frequently feel like a space alien: I'm an ENTP. I've only ever met one INFJ. Unfortunately at the time I had know idea whatsoever what an ENTP was let alone an INFJ. We were drawn to one another the moment our eyes met. On a bus of all places. And then the conversation started, and that was it. "Nothin' but magic" - Prince. We were inseparable for three years, opened a business, and had extraordinary runs of creative inspiration. Great video, Miss Melody. I think you may have me believing in unicorns again!
Good video. You nailed us Entp types on the head. I love being an Entp because you really get to see the world from a whole new angle. The only real issue is our selfish tenancies and laziness when we need to do something we don't want to.
Every ENTP I've met struggles with laziness because we get bored with a topic to easily then we become disinterested and wonder why we're doing this and talk ourselves out of it. Unless it's something we want to do but simple life things like school and work are hard to stay interested in. You may have a point though.
My solution (as an ENTP) is to always shift and stretch the shit I have to do to a happy place where I still get to do a little bit of the thing I enjoy doing. It makes doing shit less awful which helps with being less of a lazy self-righteous ENTP.
You are the cutest ball of joy. Your eyes have some sort of glow that convey so much sincere, warm emotion. I just wanna smile like a baby and make cute noises pointing at you. *aufkskh shdfjks akshfkd*
I'm INFJ, my uncle is ENTP, He doesn't know this but He's my favorite person in the family 😀 ENTPs are quick, witty thinkers with a sassy comeback ; INFJs think carefully, but they are never trivial. They are a winning combination, but I have always wondered how the fact that INFJs are so slow in speaking and tend to stammer / take long pauses doesn't bother ENTPs, who instead communicate quickly and are also quite direct 🤔
I'm an INFJ woman married to an ENTP man. When it's good it is amazing, we speak our own language. When it's bad and our flaws and insecurities rear their heads it is an indescribable misery for us. He would love me and never leave me, but when I'm frustrated because we're going round and round and shit never gets resolved, I feel so incompatible and dysfunctional because of how he acts that it makes me crazy. When I read the debater ENTP profile this morning I realized that I can't even remember or give examples of how the traits he have make me feel good or happy. I can only read it and feel like he can't help making me nuts and angry. It's so disheartening to me that we should be great together but circumstances, history, and choices are a battlefield we crawl through to get to opposing sides and we never win.
I'm an ENTP feels weird to hear people talk about the chemistry between INFJs and ENTP, cuz I have an INFJ sibling and I feel like our personalities tend to clash a lot lol. But we get on better now, and I totally know what you mean about talking together for hours. Me and my sis have these random deep conversations every so often that last for like hours, and they never seem long enough! I have 3 INFJs that I'm close to, and our conversations are never boring. Interesting that we were all drawn to each other as an ENTP/INFJ combo. Also, I totally do the debating both sides thing. I just feel like I have to explore every angle to have a valid argument, so I often go back and forth in my arguments as I explore the full problem before I reach a conclusion. Very interesting video. 👍
My co-worker is an ENTP. I can relate to a lot of what she is saying, as an INFJ myself. The funny thing is I am a True Believer in Jesus Christ and holiness, but my co-worker is an athiest. We constantly challenge and argue about the validity of the Bible.
So true about the conversations/debates. I'm an INFJ and been with my ENTP partner for 12 years. We haven't run out of things to say yet. Still find him the person I want to be around the most. Calm on the surface while the mind is working furiously & a voracious appetite for knowledge.
This video makes me all sorts of happy, I'm a fellow INFJ and my best friend is an ENTP and everything in this video I was just here like "yes, yes, yes, oh my god yes that is him." One thing that you didn't mention in this (or more so didn't elaborate on) was that when they really get going on a idea or something they are passionate about, there is no way in hell that you will be able to get anything in when they are on a roll about that idea, and there is no way you are going to be able to say anything for a good solid five minuets until he's done. But afterwords he's just like "shit sorry, what did you want to add?" But honestly I don't mind because what he is saying is fascinating so I love to listen to him anyways, but when I say my ideas he's all ears until I say something that makes him go "oh! Yes, that AND...." Then he goes on another five minuet ramble. TBH I could go on and on about ENTP and INFJ but that would be another 50 odd lines so I'm going to stop here. I hope you make a part two and it'd be nice if you touched on what they do that makes us want to pull our hair out, namely on the issues of when they are like "Hey let's go do this thing that I just thought of!" "I'd love to but I can't because a) we need to do some planing for it and b) I have other responsibilities that restricts me from doing said thing at this time with no prior notice." "Fuck it anyways, let's just do this thing!" "I can't!" "Yes you fucking can! Don't be a little bitch! Fuck responsibilities!" "No, not fuck responsibilities! You should have told me that you wanted to do this last week!" "I didn't think of this last week! I only thought of it now! Live a little, woman!" "Oh my goddddddddd, nooooooo." Then again that could only be us haha.
Tiffany Amber This just sounds so adorable hehe. Then again I wonder what is it about is us INFJs which the ENTPs find interesting actually! Like despite us having to have our "rigid# schedules and systems they are still funnily persistent on all the spontaneous stuff when they can clearly ask someone else who's a Perceiver type instead haha
Omg wow thats so accurate. Im an ENTP & i do this too😂. I fucking love to argue but i do it to learn more from the other viewpoint (IF theres something to learn). *I donnot argue to try & force my viewpoint & intelligence on others ...thats not needed lol, & i already know im smart. The proofs in the pudding.
+ShiroxYume What it is that ENTPs find interesting about INFJs? Well I think the answer if fairly obvious. INFJs carry a distinct insight into others that is usually not as present in other types. Their rare and there is a lot of crap going on in their psyche. When the ENTP looks in people for their potential for entertainment. The possibility scale of an INFJ is off the charts. Even the fact that kind of mask the fact of their type only makes the ENTP more excited to explore when they catch on. It's simple really, it's fun.
I'm an ENTP and my current bf is an INFJ, and we have amazing conversations! There's a really deep understanding between us and we can both be really vulnerable with each other
No need to apologize. The task of describing all the ways in which ENTP's are awesome is a daunting one and our multi-faceted wonderfulness can be overwhelming. Please feel free to make many videos about us. The subject deserves all the attention it can get.
As a ENTP the biggest thing that annoyed me is that my school grades were bad I got lots of C - D's however that's because I got so bored easily and hardly ever paid attention in class, and couldn't be bothered to revise it's just so boring; In 2012 and 2014 I almost got into the English chess team which is a pretty intellectual game however some people at school just dismissed this and thought I was stupid because of my school grades, yet coming that close to playing in the English chess team is a lot more complex then boring GCSE's. My view on these people is that they weren't very bright even though they're in the top sets and I gave a good explanation to them, they failed to have a understanding and wanted to keep their smug faces on even though I was probably more logical then them. Can anyone relate?
I’m ENTP (female) I left education at 17 and got a job because I was so bored and my test scores never reflected my real ability. Having said that, being able to focus and study hard is its own reward. I study every day now to improve my second language. Nothing like working shitty jobs for years to motivate you. But the struggle is real, my Ne always wants to look at other things and my low Si feeds into that. It is like reigning in an unruly child at times.
Nice video, it really is true that ENTP and INFJ compliment each other. My wife is an INFJ and I am an ENTP and what I think I love most is how she can appreciate my quirks while calling me out on my bullshit.
Great thoughts. I'm and ENTP and my wife is an INFJ, so much of what you said is spot on! Also, she is an actress, who runs a blog, as well as a popular online magazine, you INFJ's should connect and colab!
Oh how lovely:) Yes I would love that:) It's exciting to hear about another INFJ that is pursuing similar things as me:) What magazine does she run? Would love to check it out:) Thanks for the comment!
The ENTP, often referred to as having a "Christmas tree brain," tends to have a mind filled with various ideas and possibilities, much like the diverse and colorful branches of a Christmas tree. They are creative, spontaneous, and love exploring new concepts. On the other hand, the INFJ, known for their "spiderweb brain," possesses a highly intricate and interconnected thought process. They tend to see the bigger picture and understand the underlying patterns and connections between different ideas, much like the complex and delicate structure of a spiderweb. INFJs are empathetic, insightful, and value deep connections with others. When these two personalities come together, their contrasting thinking styles can complement each other in remarkable ways. The ENTP's ability to generate innovative ideas and explore different possibilities can inspire the INFJ's spiderweb brain to analyze and understand the underlying patterns and connections. The INFJ's deep insights and empathetic nature can also provide a grounding influence on the ENTP's sometimes scattered thinking. In essence, the ENTP and INFJ can form a powerful partnership where the ENTP's creativity and exploration combine with the INFJ's analytical skills and depth of understanding. Together, they can bring unique perspectives, innovative solutions, and a harmonious balance of creativity and practicality to any situation they encounter.
ENTP here. I married an INFJ w/o explicitly knowing she was that type. The attraction is real! And, yes, we are a lot of fun. We are the Han Solo's and Tyrion Lannister's of MBTI - eternally frustrating but never, ever boring ;)
I been with an INFJ, she been called in class the weirdo. But to me I think she’s awesome because her ideas is so unique and so fking Creative but sadly not much people see that in her. We both learn art and one day I saw she’s alone and decided to be friends with her. She doesn’t have much confident in herself but I try to tell her that things can work if you set your mind through it. And just do it. I and her had been together for 5 years. ENTP.
you explained Ni and Ne perfectly. i read this on a forum: Ne: Generating possibilities, leaping from one idea to the next, thinking in a tree pattern- each idea spawning more Ni: Drawing conclusions, all the pieces coming together subconsciously to form a whole, going from pieces to the final form without all the middle steps Ne: AB... Balloon, floating, Chickadee, insane asylum, Z! Ni: ABC....Z
I am a female ENTP (super rare) and my best friend is INFJ. We are definitely soul mates, in a totally platonic sense. Even though you spoke mostly about the romatic chemisty, everything you said applies to our friendship, we balance each other really well and I don't know what I'd do without her. We are a dynamic duo! She is marrying an ENFP which I think is a better romantic match for the INFJ.
One of the reasons we (ENTP) make such a good pair with the INFJ is that we balance each other out. In classic ENTP fashion, my brain is all over the place like Ricochet Rabbit, and I have difficulty staying focused and on mission. My INFJ friend helps me pick out the good ideas from the not so good. She also encourages me, keeps me on task, and pushes me to follow through. An ENTP and INFJ team could build a successful business together.
I wrecked an INFJ a decade ago. Repairs are taking longer than expected. It took me over an hour to assimilate your video, during which I was cognitively impaired/overloaded. Thank you.
9:10 Fun fact about that little phenomenon, especially when it comes to drawing intuitive conclusions with Ne-Ti. While it may seem like we’ve thought it out before (much of the time we have), or that it takes a long time for us jump down those rabbit holes, it really doesn’t take but less than maybe half a second for the entire “node-link chain” to come barreling through our minds at a blistering pace which our tongues can only dream to match, even if we’re considering something for the first time. Which is why we have to talk so fast. Lol Yes, this entire comment, including this last bit and much more which I am electing not to include, all accosted my brain in what feels like a fraction of a second. How do we remember it all when we talk, what with this awful memory of ours, you ask? Just follow the chain down the links. Almost like bringing a rope through a maze and following it back to the entrance, I guess. Don’t know if this made sense.
When I did the test 10 years ago I was an INFJ. I did the test tonight and it turns out I'm now an ENTP. It's neat to hear perspective from the other personality types. Maybe that's just the ENTP in me. Thanks for the vid, very interesting stuff!
7:15 ENTPs live inside the box, but their minds are outside the box. We don't approach issues in the same way most other people approach them. So for example I used to work as an IT engineer, I came across other engineers who had completed the MSCE course, they would approach a problem 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9. Where as I would approach things 1,2, 8,5,9,6,7. My approach might seem strange almost chaotic, but it's because I rely heavily on my intuition and experience. Therefore when dealing with a problem I start with the most likely causes of the issue and then work from there. We do the same in conversations where we often understand what you are saying half way through a sentence.
Lol, this girl is clearly still in love with her ex ENTP. I'm an INTP and I clearly can say that when i'm in Ne mode I atttract INFJ like crazy.( through Ne and Fe whit being fun and entertaining conversations and...Etc). Balanced INTP can be as charming as ENTPs but come with the additional qualities of an INTPs. Personnaly I prefer contemplation rather than debates. Lol; I think ENTP and INTP are going to compete for INFJ hearts.
+Mattkrewe Myeah, INFJ women seem to be undecided between someone NTP but who understands my introverted side or someone NTP and who entertains me.... I can understand how INFJ would prefer INTP over ENTP because despite their introversion INFJ are horny and needy as fuck and herefore they need to get entertained byt the ENTP. INTP are too badass and too busy daydreaming to care about such nonsense...but poor INFJ need attention? Is that it? OOhh pooor baby ! ANyway one thing is certain NFJs and NTPs attract each other for I don't know what reason; one day I did an experiment... I decided to enter a world filled with NFs and more predominantly NFJs... once in there I emulated NTP behavior and suddenly all the women were attracted... GREAT HEY I KNOW !
ENTP here, Great Video...I've studdied a lot on MBTI type 2 test & I can meet people & on very little information I can tell how they decorate their house or other characteristics & they find it Amusing... Once dated an INFJ & we would talk all night long, great conversations. Came along way, Detroit, Chicago, Tampa, Miami, Keys & In NYC now trying to Make it Happen... All those Self Help Books are really starting to pay off... I feel like also a mixture of all the closest people I've met along the way...Cheers.
I agree with a lot of this. (I feel like I say that for all your videos, haha!) One of my close friends is an ENTP. Sometimes the constant debating really drains me though, because she will literally try to debate everything just for the sake of debating. And often times the random (or seemingly random from my pov) ideas she'll come up with seem so illogical that it frustrates me that she's trying to argue their validity. However, I am drawn to her enthusiasm, the fact that she can get me to do spontaneous things (which I typically dread), and I do enjoy that we can have really lengthy, deep conversations.
Samantha M. hey girl!:) yeah it can be draining at times especially if it is directed to us. I think it really depends on the ENTP. Some are more mature than others, and the ones that are immature can potentially be a nightmare for an INFJ haha:)
I wish I could have more INFJ and INTJ friends. My ENTP iNtuition is tired of having only Sensing people around. Great video, by the way! Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
As an ENTP I can tell you, I am happy that many people and sites call me highly intelligent. However research shows ENTPs Make less than average money.
INTJ-Skorpyo7 you couldn't be more wrong. intj and entj do not even have introverted thinking. that is an extreme indicator of intelligence. entj and Intj do make some of the highest money though. they also are very goal oriented and can achieve their goal. but intelligence, in terms of iq, is something posted by the four personalities with Ti (introverted thinking). intp, istp, entp,estp. Einstein was an intp.
I married an entp and really enjoyed this video :) very similar to my experiences. Feeling immediately accepted plus the ability to connect right away on a deep level was wonderful and intoxicating experience. And I think you touched on this a little as well - but we are frequently able to fill-in and counterbalance the other's blind spots and weaknesses
For some reason I am unable to reply to a lot of your comments even when I add the + sign attached with your name in a new comment box. The name does not pop up with a few of you. So I am sorry if I am unable to reply.
melody landry I'm trying to respond to insert-last-name-here as well but can't either. You're only a few videos in, and worrying about editing is a secondary concern. You stayed incredibly on-track throughout all of this without editing and I actually watched the whole thing. I could tell that there was a bit more at the tip of your tongue you wanted to get out which is why I hope for a followup. As ENTP, I can't get away with a 15 min long single-take video like you. I'm so easily distracted that I HAVE to edit or you'd be in for hours of rambling lmao.
RebelFund Good to know I am not the only one!:) Thanks so much for your kind words and encouragement I super appreciate it:) I actually know how to edit all that stuff out, I guess on these type videos I personally find it interesting to see some types thought processes and how they process information, so I have been intentionally leaving it all in. This is just a personal preference though and if some people do not like it I can easily edit it out :) haha I know what you mean about the ENTP ramble it is quite humorous!:)
That's very true I have noticed some people: who I was sure would expect me to be weird, and came across as shallow and extraverted and crazy in a fun way, to be drawn to me and share an interest in more intelligent conversations, I never had to explain myself and they thought all of my nerdy;) hobbies were cool and when I first met them I'd be guarded and then look stupid when they made me laugh for the rest of the school year, I had already labeled the new ideas as sparks, I enjoyed their self generation of fun and how spontaneous they were, and they are attractive on an I don't mind seeing you during my introverted time way :)
I am an Enneagram Type 2/ MBTI type 2 ENTP. I personally can relate to all of that because I have an Enneagram type 1w2/ INFJ mother who was simply made for that role as we are on the same waves all the time... Super intellectual discussions full of ideas go on non-stop when we start discussing simply anything... Incredible match :D
As an ENTP who is currently dating a bonafied INFJ Does anyone actually BELIEVE that this girl's mannerisms resemble that of actual INFJs they've met in real life?
I actually just stumbled on your video. I google ENTPs just to learn more about the personality. I did take the personality test. Two times actually. With a separation of a couple months between both times getting ENTPs. I think you really nailed how ENTPs work.
First off, you seem to know what you're talking about! Secondly, I am a male entp and I agree with everything you say about us. I spend a lot of time with a female infj and you're spot on.
Not bad (red head?)...not bad. Your insights were pretty spot on. I’ll give you that! The part where you describe being somewhere and losing yourself in stimulating conversation for hours....I absolutely love that....it’s a crazy good feeling....especially when you’re getting what is being talked about because I don’t think many ppl think like or understand how we ENTPs really think. It’s cool that you get it. At least there is someone that does. Lol
Helmuts Vanags Well we are more annoying than boring to others, or so at least i heard. Immature ENTPs tend to be very dislikeable, even amongst eachother, but mature ones on the other hand seem to be amazing, also according to others lol.
Love your videos!!! I've been an INFJ confirmed since sophomore year of high school (about 8 years ago). 24, starting a Ph.D in business psych next year (somewhat regret not doing clinical since I love one-on-on). Any who... I dated an ESFP over a year ago and cannot get over the awesome-life love-about the now-genuine fool. I've read other forums and it appears ESFPs are notorious for leaving an INFJ heart broken but simultaneously enamored by their authenticity. Any way (sorry for rambling). Advice? Again, LOVE your videos! Make me feel like I'm not an alien for my idealistic thoughts!
Aren't INFJ's like the best match for ENTP? I swear on my life, I've never been smitten with a TH-cam girl but marry me real quick, yeah? No prenup or whatever, just one of those cheeky Vegas weddings where Elvis is the pastor.
My best friend is an ENTP (I am INFJ). We always have the most fun with each other, and she is probably the smartest, or at least the wittiest, person I know. And she is so hilarious! I definitely agree with INFJs keeping ENTPs grounded, and I definitely agree that we both are continuously learning things about each other. I distinctly remember her saying how she always is learning something new about me. It is interesting to reflect on our friendship, because it has definitely been an adventure through these past couple of years. I love hearing her perspective on things, and she keeps me on my toes!!~
I'm an ENTP, and I love you.. Wow. I can say you're not only be of the most beautiful girls I've ever seen but also you're very intelligent. I need a girlfriend with this mind and this beauty. Where have you been all my life. Wow
Male INFJ here, my dad is ENTP, we have so much fun together, he is one of my best buddies. Dude gets obsessive about his few interests, though. (chess, cards, meditation, and then whatever videogame he is obsessed with that year) The debate point is valid, he takes the opposing side frequently to induce the viewing of new perspectives, regardless of if he has any personal stake in it. It drives people crazy sometimes, though. I usually do that as well, though. I think it has to do with Ti, in order to break down the topic to its finest point you need to explore both sides of the coin and meet in the middle.
Well done INFJ, it's a beautiful thing when the rare ones find each other, the force is electric and we are the spark. Our minds together light up the sky. Shine on wit ya bad self...🙂
Phew. You nailed it! Your point about how ENTPs and INFJs often reach the same conclusions was really astute. I think it has something to do with the shared (yet inverted) middle functions. This makes for a strong anchor while allowing each party to shine with their unique strengths. I once dated an INFJ who would just blindside me with her Ni insights. We're still good friends, and I just interviewed her for my channel. Can't wait to edit it and get it uploaded. :)
As an INFJ, I can completely understand the attraction to ENTPs. I've dated two of them, but I've found that in the end, they're immaturity ruins things for me. I don't know if it's an ENTP thing or not, but the ones I've met have all been pretty self-absorbed and cold to the feelings of others which is really unattractive. Their whole complex with being smart but not applying themselves is incredibly infuriating to me too. I don't know. ENTPs are definitely fun at first, they're easy to be around, and we have good chemistry, but there's too much in the end that ruins it for me. I'm an ENFP girl lol
INTP may be a better match for you then. We tend to mature faster and are more concerned with how others (particularly those we care about) feel. The "complex with being smart but not applying themselves" would not be any better though.
I think I'm starting to see what this ENTP/INFJ thing is all about. There might be less love (or more accurately desire) at first sight than with INTJs (quite physical chemistry), but there seems to be some smooth energy coming out of INFJs. I'm just seeing myself slowly absorbed into some reassuring, comforting, mystical atmosphere while you speak. Can't INFJs come as a sleep timer ? :p Would be worth all the counting sheep or relaxing music of the world ! Or maybe it's the lipstick (looks absolutely gorgeous).
My Ex HAD to be an INFJ. I broke up because of my impulsivity which was in retrospective a bad idea. My theory about the "mutual interest" is the following: ENTP like to explore new things but we get cluttered and need some guidance. Also, we feel that other people find our understanding of emotions to be too shallow which is clearly not. And exactly that is easily compensated by INFJ because they give us the rigidit, stability and guidance we need and also we help them coming out of their shell and feeling validated while also keeping them interested. It's a win-win So my theory goes as the following: if you can easily compensate the weaknesses of each other there is a big affection.
I love how all us ENTPs found this video. Literally it was only a matter of time. Brothers haha who else is procrastinating right now
Same here.
I have an exam tomorrow but I'm here procrastinating instead of studying because it's very boring
@@danielmontes2159 Feel ya, bro
hell yeah brother, I'm suppose to get a couple of pieces of paper together so I can get a scholarship for an engineering class, three weeks ago
Oh shit procrastinating that one hit me right in the noggin as Im playing Lego's with the most important exam in 10 days
To the point of entps not thinking infjs are weird: I don't think that we think anyone is weird (or we think everyone is weird). For me there is no weird and normal, only smart and not so smart.
ENTPs and INFJs are the alone in a world full of idiots!
I disagree. I find people who love routine jobs and traditional ways very weird.
@@TheFren lol im infj and easly bored of job every week and seek another if possible
Nah some people are just fucking dumb (mostly infps)
I think people are either stupid or annoying if I don't like them.
Things in common between INFJ and ENTP
- both are very rare
- both love solving everyone else's problems more than one's own (due to Fe and strong N)
Agree!
Agree, but our motives for solving problems are very different than the INFJ's
Steve Wilson what are your motives? INFJ here
@@Julia-LArt Get better positions and opportunities to ourselves. Always searching for tactical advantage, meanwhile widen our vision and possibilities. Always looking for consequences and rewards.
gojman14 thank you for your answer. That makes sense.
Where are all of these people that want to talk for hours about stuff. As an ENTP myself, basically all the people I've encountered are not willing to talk or debate stuff. Which bores the hell out of me. And I seem to bore them just as much. Also, great video!
DiNozzo431 I am not so much interested in debating but I have found that I generally have great conversations with the ENTPs I have encountered in general:) And thanks!
DiNozzo431 I agree. I feel like everytime I talk to my wife about an idea or something learned recently, she seems as if she isn't interested. Then she gets offend when I disprove an idea of hers or something a friend of hers told her. Still love her though.
It is really a stuggle. I am an entp and I long for a good conversation.
ENTP female here. I don't seek out debates. I like to just bounce with ideas after I have found friends. but I do believe a lot of people have probably gotten irritated with my way of debating. maybe I should be seeking out debates with people? idk. I currently have two INFJ friends (that I know of). one male one female. I choose my debates wisely because most people get irritated with discussion. I suppose that makes me in the same boat as yourself. I litter won't go to Bible studies though unless there is room for creative interpretation. I can't STAND going off a script and just having rote answers. what am I, a robot? I love love love debating and just the bounce and flow of ideas and learning ahhh I'm getting all excited thinking about it. hahaha
You're unfortunate enough to not have met any friends that operate on anything even close to your intellectual level. I've been extremely blessed in that area. It takes an incredible amount of work-around to trick yourself into enjoying talking to most people. With the right people conversational arguments just flow naturally, and it's fantastic.
I like to put the connection between INFJs and ENTPs (I'm one) in this one sentence:
*_"An ENTP can show the INFJ the outside world, but an INFJ can show the ENTP his inside world."_*
And yes, I totally just made that one up, but I think it's very true. The way that INFJs can understand us is beyond incredible and you (INFJs) can by far explain us way better than we can explain ourselves, which is quite recordbreaking considering that our nickname is the "debaters" and that for a good reason.
You really know how we tick, I love it !
I don´t understand why you donť have more likes, your sentence is so much true. Maybe people are jealous you came with that line, not them.

lmao shame bro
Male ENTP here, you are correct in assuming the charm & natural connection between the ENTP-INFJ is mutually felt.
It is mutually felt between INTP-INFJ too though, maybe even better.
INTP is said to be the Golden Pair for INFJ, but ENTP works because they add in the Extroversion that INTP lacks.
With ENTP having goals and ambition in life, actually wanting to step-up and do better, they never feel good enough, meanwhile INTP is lazy, they don't care to do hardly anything.
So, the ENTP is far more demanding on themselves, and that is great for getting the more Ambivert/Introverted INFJ out of their shell, and socializing with other people IRL offline ~
I'm married to an INFJ, and I don't have to explain why the very idea of getting married was never a real consideration until I met her. Best decision I ever made of course, and without the slightest hesitation or doubt.

I'm an ENTP and INFJs seem to find me. My twin is INFJ, my husband is one, my former mentor is one (and her husband was ENTP), and another friend of mine is one. And one of my best friends is a fellow ENTP. I say he's like the male version of myself in a lot of ways. We have a grand old time debating each other. I must be really lucky :)

@@AvatarWindy Lol you alone xD... same
That’s so funny because I’m an infj and my twin is an entp
Haha as an ENTP I'm feeling so flattered by your video. You give me a really good feel in my gut from all your good saying about "us". But you shouldn't forget that there are weaknesses to ENTP's as well. Such as we easily get bored with what we're doing which resultes in jumping from activity to activity. ENTP's can also have a problem in relationships because of their "discussions" which can easily be taken for arguing. I'm ENTP:ing all over this place. Sorry.
INFJ's struggle with that too but I don't see it as a weakness. Plus there are ways to defuse situations and make the other parties understand that it is just a discussion and it's up to them to decide if they like the subject or feel too much discomfort thinking about the topic, then you ask why they have this discomfort and listen to what they say because sometimes the reasons are interesting and... I'm INFJ:ing all over this place, aren't I? Sorry.
@@philippezevenberg1332 6 years... There is a posibility that Leo isn’t around anymore
As an ENTP, I wouldn’t want to date another one because we’re too self-centered.
I am very intrigued by ENFP’s. They are just as clever and fun, but are also nicer.
It's just because of your Ne that naturally makes you easily bored. Ni people on the other hand are hardly bored but they can feel not intellectually stimulated enough and get bored because of that. But it's true you guys tend to argue about everything even if it's just to discuss about it and sometimes we can't make any progress in a discussion and come to the main point because we have to argue/discuss every previous point. For most people discussing is reaching the main point and possibly come to an agreement and end the discussion but you guys want to discuss every single point when it's sometimes less interesting than the main one and you're missing this more valuable insight. As INFJs we get that easily because usually when we engage in a conversation we already have the main point in mind early on and we get misunderstood regularly because others need more time to figure out the depth we're already at. We're going too fast and you guys are going too slow basically so we both get misunderstood in discussions. I'm not judging anything btw, that's just an observation.
@@backcountyrpilot yeah me too..I thought I wouldn't get along with another ENTP because of this..nd the moment I notice I'm giving more even if it's 52% that's 2% more I would step back..but I do get along with others as friends not partners tho

This is interesting. My father was an INFJ and I am an ENTP. I don't think we ever had a "shallow" conversation. One night we stayed up till 3AM having a fiery (loud) discussion about the idea of insanity as a criminal defense. We realized that we were saying the same thing, but I had a very "roundabout" journey of complicated reasoning to arrive there, while he was very direct. He was my best friend and probably the only person who has ever really understood me. I miss him terribly ☹️
A real INFJ! Yay! I'm an INFJ married to an ENTP and everything you said sounds exactly right.
As an INFJ, this is all so true about ENTPs! I love figuring them out; absolutely romantically attracted to them, as well. I always have the “meatiest”, intelligent conversations with them - never boring, have a calming way about them, and the best, creative senses of humor! Could talk with them for DAYS. 🤣🤣
“ENTPs and INFJs make the perfect couple.” Makes sense. For example, in the Office, Jim is an ENTP and Pam is an INFJ.
Btw, great video!
Yesterday I discovered why it is I frequently feel like a space alien: I'm an ENTP. I've only ever met one INFJ. Unfortunately at the time I had know idea whatsoever what an ENTP was let alone an INFJ. We were drawn to one another the moment our eyes met. On a bus of all places. And then the conversation started, and that was it. "Nothin' but magic" - Prince. We were inseparable for three years, opened a business, and had extraordinary runs of creative inspiration. Great video, Miss Melody. I think you may have me believing in unicorns again!
Oh no, I knew I'd mentioned Prince somewhere the other day!
Good video. You nailed us Entp types on the head. I love being an Entp because you really get to see the world from a whole new angle. The only real issue is our selfish tenancies and laziness when we need to do something we don't want to.
Every ENTP I've met struggles with laziness because we get bored with a topic to easily then we become disinterested and wonder why we're doing this and talk ourselves out of it. Unless it's something we want to do but simple life things like school and work are hard to stay interested in. You may have a point though.
My solution (as an ENTP) is to always shift and stretch the shit I have to do to a happy place where I still get to do a little bit of the thing I enjoy doing. It makes doing shit less awful which helps with being less of a lazy self-righteous ENTP.
yes it's not due to a LACK OF AMBITION but maybe a lack of "spark" if you know what I mean

Somewhere, you just gotta search more
Just ask around - we'll stop pretending for you
I'm INFJ, my uncle is ENTP, He doesn't know this but He's my favorite person in the family 😀 ENTPs are quick, witty thinkers with a sassy comeback ; INFJs think carefully, but they are never trivial. They are a winning combination, but I have always wondered how the fact that INFJs are so slow in speaking and tend to stammer / take long pauses doesn't bother ENTPs, who instead communicate quickly and are also quite direct 🤔
It works because INFJs always say things that they truly believe & that have weight/insight - we'll always give room for that
Some people's replies are worth waiting for :)
I'm an INFJ woman married to an ENTP man. When it's good it is amazing, we speak our own language. When it's bad and our flaws and insecurities rear their heads it is an indescribable misery for us. He would love me and never leave me, but when I'm frustrated because we're going round and round and shit never gets resolved, I feel so incompatible and dysfunctional because of how he acts that it makes me crazy. When I read the debater ENTP profile this morning I realized that I can't even remember or give examples of how the traits he have make me feel good or happy. I can only read it and feel like he can't help making me nuts and angry. It's so disheartening to me that we should be great together but circumstances, history, and choices are a battlefield we crawl through to get to opposing sides and we never win.
We're also both QUITE stubborn & set in our respective mindsets, & that can be tough to work through when there's lots of emotions involved

I'm an ENTP feels weird to hear people talk about the chemistry between INFJs and ENTP, cuz I have an INFJ sibling and I feel like our personalities tend to clash a lot lol. But we get on better now, and I totally know what you mean about talking together for hours. Me and my sis have these random deep conversations every so often that last for like hours, and they never seem long enough! I have 3 INFJs that I'm close to, and our conversations are never boring. Interesting that we were all drawn to each other as an ENTP/INFJ combo. Also, I totally do the debating both sides thing. I just feel like I have to explore every angle to have a valid argument, so I often go back and forth in my arguments as I explore the full problem before I reach a conclusion.
Very interesting video. 👍
My god, my ego has never been stroked this much before.
umm, u're adorable. that is all. - entp
haha thanks.
My co-worker is an ENTP. I can relate to a lot of what she is saying, as an INFJ myself. The funny thing is I am a True Believer in Jesus Christ and holiness, but my co-worker is an athiest. We constantly challenge and argue about the validity of the Bible.
So true about the conversations/debates. I'm an INFJ and been with my ENTP partner for 12 years. We haven't run out of things to say yet. Still find him the person I want to be around the most. Calm on the surface while the mind is working furiously & a voracious appetite for knowledge.
This video makes me all sorts of happy, I'm a fellow INFJ and my best friend is an ENTP and everything in this video I was just here like "yes, yes, yes, oh my god yes that is him." One thing that you didn't mention in this (or more so didn't elaborate on) was that when they really get going on a idea or something they are passionate about, there is no way in hell that you will be able to get anything in when they are on a roll about that idea, and there is no way you are going to be able to say anything for a good solid five minuets until he's done. But afterwords he's just like "shit sorry, what did you want to add?" But honestly I don't mind because what he is saying is fascinating so I love to listen to him anyways, but when I say my ideas he's all ears until I say something that makes him go "oh! Yes, that AND...." Then he goes on another five minuet ramble.
TBH I could go on and on about ENTP and INFJ but that would be another 50 odd lines so I'm going to stop here. I hope you make a part two and it'd be nice if you touched on what they do that makes us want to pull our hair out, namely on the issues of when they are like "Hey let's go do this thing that I just thought of!" "I'd love to but I can't because a) we need to do some planing for it and b) I have other responsibilities that restricts me from doing said thing at this time with no prior notice." "Fuck it anyways, let's just do this thing!" "I can't!" "Yes you fucking can! Don't be a little bitch! Fuck responsibilities!" "No, not fuck responsibilities! You should have told me that you wanted to do this last week!" "I didn't think of this last week! I only thought of it now! Live a little, woman!" "Oh my goddddddddd, nooooooo." Then again that could only be us haha.
Tiffany Amber This just sounds so adorable hehe. Then again I wonder what is it about is us INFJs which the ENTPs find interesting actually!

+Tiffany Amber LOL I do this too (ENTP)
+ShiroxYume What it is that ENTPs find interesting about INFJs? Well I think the answer if fairly obvious. INFJs carry a distinct insight into others that is usually not as present in other types. Their rare and there is a lot of crap going on in their psyche. When the ENTP looks in people for their potential for entertainment. The possibility scale of an INFJ is off the charts. Even the fact that kind of mask the fact of their type only makes the ENTP more excited to explore when they catch on. It's simple really, it's fun.
I'm an ENTP and my current bf is an INFJ, and we have amazing conversations! There's a really deep understanding between us and we can both be really vulnerable with each other
No need to apologize. The task of describing all the ways in which ENTP's are awesome is a daunting one and our multi-faceted wonderfulness can be overwhelming. Please feel free to make many videos about us. The subject deserves all the attention it can get.
As a ENTP the biggest thing that annoyed me is that my school grades were bad I got lots of C - D's however that's because I got so bored easily and hardly ever paid attention in class, and couldn't be bothered to revise it's just so boring; In 2012 and 2014 I almost got into the English chess team which is a pretty intellectual game however some people at school just dismissed this and thought I was stupid because of my school grades, yet coming that close to playing in the English chess team is a lot more complex then boring GCSE's.
My view on these people is that they weren't very bright even though they're in the top sets and I gave a good explanation to them, they failed to have a understanding and wanted to keep their smug faces on even though I was probably more logical then them.
Can anyone relate?
I can relate so much like i need to force myself to revise annoying af

Oh how lovely:) Yes I would love that:) It's exciting to hear about another INFJ that is pursuing similar things as me:) What magazine does she run? Would love to check it out:) Thanks for the comment!
The ENTP, often referred to as having a "Christmas tree brain," tends to have a mind filled with various ideas and possibilities, much like the diverse and colorful branches of a Christmas tree. They are creative, spontaneous, and love exploring new concepts.
On the other hand, the INFJ, known for their "spiderweb brain," possesses a highly intricate and interconnected thought process. They tend to see the bigger picture and understand the underlying patterns and connections between different ideas, much like the complex and delicate structure of a spiderweb. INFJs are empathetic, insightful, and value deep connections with others.
When these two personalities come together, their contrasting thinking styles can complement each other in remarkable ways. The ENTP's ability to generate innovative ideas and explore different possibilities can inspire the INFJ's spiderweb brain to analyze and understand the underlying patterns and connections. The INFJ's deep insights and empathetic nature can also provide a grounding influence on the ENTP's sometimes scattered thinking.
In essence, the ENTP and INFJ can form a powerful partnership where the ENTP's creativity and exploration combine with the INFJ's analytical skills and depth of understanding. Together, they can bring unique perspectives, innovative solutions, and a harmonious balance of creativity and practicality to any situation they encounter.
Very well and thoughtfully written ❤ you have explained the dynamics between INFJ and ENTP precisely.
ENTP here. I married an INFJ w/o explicitly knowing she was that type. The attraction is real! And, yes, we are a lot of fun. We are the Han Solo's and Tyrion Lannister's of MBTI - eternally frustrating but never, ever boring ;)
I am an Entp and I never procrastinate, I just ignore the deadline 😂
I been with an INFJ, she been called in class the weirdo. But to me I think she’s awesome because her ideas is so unique and so fking Creative but sadly not much people see that in her. We both learn art and one day I saw she’s alone and decided to be friends with her. She doesn’t have much confident in herself but I try to tell her that things can work if you set your mind through it. And just do it. I and her had been together for 5 years.
ENTP.
you explained Ni and Ne perfectly.
i read this on a forum:
Ne: Generating possibilities, leaping from one idea to the next, thinking in a tree pattern- each idea spawning more
Ni: Drawing conclusions, all the pieces coming together subconsciously to form a whole, going from pieces to the final form without all the middle steps
Ne: AB... Balloon, floating, Chickadee, insane asylum, Z!
Ni: ABC....Z
I am a female ENTP (super rare) and my best friend is INFJ. We are definitely soul mates, in a totally platonic sense. Even though you spoke mostly about the romatic chemisty, everything you said applies to our friendship, we balance each other really well and I don't know what I'd do without her. We are a dynamic duo! She is marrying an ENFP which I think is a better romantic match for the INFJ.
One of the reasons we (ENTP) make such a good pair with the INFJ is that we balance each other out.
In classic ENTP fashion, my brain is all over the place like Ricochet Rabbit, and I have difficulty staying focused and on mission. My INFJ friend helps me pick out the good ideas from the not so good. She also encourages me, keeps me on task, and pushes me to follow through.
An ENTP and INFJ team could build a successful business together.

+k9triz haha. I was thinking "wtf?" and you nailed it. Kudos!

Fun fact about that little phenomenon, especially when it comes to drawing intuitive conclusions with Ne-Ti. While it may seem like we’ve thought it out before (much of the time we have), or that it takes a long time for us jump down those rabbit holes, it really doesn’t take but less than maybe half a second for the entire “node-link chain” to come barreling through our minds at a blistering pace which our tongues can only dream to match, even if we’re considering something for the first time. Which is why we have to talk so fast. Lol
Yes, this entire comment, including this last bit and much more which I am electing not to include, all accosted my brain in what feels like a fraction of a second. How do we remember it all when we talk, what with this awful memory of ours, you ask? Just follow the chain down the links. Almost like bringing a rope through a maze and following it back to the entrance, I guess. Don’t know if this made sense.
When I did the test 10 years ago I was an INFJ. I did the test tonight and it turns out I'm now an ENTP. It's neat to hear perspective from the other personality types. Maybe that's just the ENTP in me. Thanks for the vid, very interesting stuff!
7:15 ENTPs live inside the box, but their minds are outside the box. We don't approach issues in the same way most other people approach them. So for example I used to work as an IT engineer, I came across other engineers who had completed the MSCE course, they would approach a problem 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9. Where as I would approach things 1,2, 8,5,9,6,7. My approach might seem strange almost chaotic, but it's because I rely heavily on my intuition and experience. Therefore when dealing with a problem I start with the most likely causes of the issue and then work from there. We do the same in conversations where we often understand what you are saying half way through a sentence.
Lol, this girl is clearly still in love with her ex ENTP. I'm an INTP and I clearly can say that when i'm in Ne mode I atttract INFJ like crazy.( through Ne and Fe whit being fun and entertaining conversations and...Etc). Balanced INTP can be as charming as ENTPs but come with the additional qualities of an INTPs. Personnaly I prefer contemplation rather than debates. Lol; I think ENTP and INTP are going to compete for INFJ hearts.
+Mattkrewe Myeah, INFJ women seem to be undecided between someone NTP but who understands my introverted side or someone NTP and who entertains me.... I can understand how INFJ would prefer INTP over ENTP because despite their introversion INFJ are horny and needy as fuck and herefore they need to get entertained byt the ENTP. INTP are too badass and too busy daydreaming to care about such nonsense...but poor INFJ need attention? Is that it? OOhh pooor baby ! ANyway one thing is certain NFJs and NTPs attract each other for I don't know what reason; one day I did an experiment... I decided to enter a world filled with NFs and more predominantly NFJs... once in there I emulated NTP behavior and suddenly all the women were attracted... GREAT HEY I KNOW !
lol, jealous Little I brother.
onthearth1 im an INFJ and yes you absolutely right
onthearth1 r u ok?
@@onthearth1 lol why so rude. Its not your business if INFJ women get attached with ENTP male
ENTP here, Great Video...I've studdied a lot on MBTI type 2 test & I can meet people & on very little information I can tell how they decorate their house or other characteristics & they find it Amusing... Once dated an INFJ & we would talk all night long, great conversations. Came along way, Detroit, Chicago, Tampa, Miami, Keys & In NYC now trying to Make it Happen... All those Self Help Books are really starting to pay off... I feel like also a mixture of all the closest people I've met along the way...Cheers.
I agree with a lot of this. (I feel like I say that for all your videos, haha!) One of my close friends is an ENTP. Sometimes the constant debating really drains me though, because she will literally try to debate everything just for the sake of debating. And often times the random (or seemingly random from my pov) ideas she'll come up with seem so illogical that it frustrates me that she's trying to argue their validity. However, I am drawn to her enthusiasm, the fact that she can get me to do spontaneous things (which I typically dread), and I do enjoy that we can have really lengthy, deep conversations.
Samantha M. hey girl!:) yeah it can be draining at times especially if it is directed to us. I think it really depends on the ENTP. Some are more mature than others, and the ones that are immature can potentially be a nightmare for an INFJ haha:)
I wish I could have more INFJ and INTJ friends. My ENTP iNtuition is tired of having only Sensing people around. Great video, by the way! Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
As an ENTP I can tell you, I am happy that many people and sites call me highly intelligent. However research shows ENTPs Make less than average money.
Profit is boring ;)
you need to focus on one thing
i agree
INTJ-Skorpyo7 you couldn't be more wrong. intj and entj do not even have introverted thinking. that is an extreme indicator of intelligence. entj and Intj do make some of the highest money though. they also are very goal oriented and can achieve their goal. but intelligence, in terms of iq, is something posted by the four personalities with Ti (introverted thinking). intp, istp, entp,estp. Einstein was an intp.
you two above me, you guys are week fuckers who follow people's opinion of them and only have their success in their dreaming skull
You wholly still enjoy that ENTP, it's dripping off in excess.
Huh, i can be so blunt when joking that people think i'm serious. Then i just roll with it, almost like trolling irl.
I married an entp and really enjoyed this video :) very similar to my experiences. Feeling immediately accepted plus the ability to connect right away on a deep level was wonderful and intoxicating experience. And I think you touched on this a little as well - but we are frequently able to fill-in and counterbalance the other's blind spots and weaknesses
For some reason I am unable to reply to a lot of your comments even when I add the + sign attached with your name in a new comment box. The name does not pop up with a few of you. So I am sorry if I am unable to reply.
John Barnes and Stevie insert last name here ^^^
melody landry I'm trying to respond to insert-last-name-here as well but can't either.
You're only a few videos in, and worrying about editing is a secondary concern. You stayed incredibly on-track throughout all of this without editing and I actually watched the whole thing.
I could tell that there was a bit more at the tip of your tongue you wanted to get out which is why I hope for a followup.
As ENTP, I can't get away with a 15 min long single-take video like you. I'm so easily distracted that I HAVE to edit or you'd be in for hours of rambling lmao.
RebelFund Good to know I am not the only one!:) Thanks so much for your kind words and encouragement I super appreciate it:) I actually know how to edit all that stuff out, I guess on these type videos I personally find it interesting to see some types thought processes and how they process information, so I have been intentionally leaving it all in. This is just a personal preference though and if some people do not like it I can easily edit it out :)
haha I know what you mean about the ENTP ramble it is quite humorous!:)
That's very true I have noticed some people: who I was sure would expect me to be weird, and came across as shallow and extraverted and crazy in a fun way, to be drawn to me and share an interest in more intelligent conversations, I never had to explain myself and they thought all of my nerdy;) hobbies were cool and when I first met them I'd be guarded and then look stupid when they made me laugh for the rest of the school year, I had already labeled the new ideas as sparks, I enjoyed their self generation of fun and how spontaneous they were, and they are attractive on an I don't mind seeing you during my introverted time way :)
Miss Melody I noticed you have hebrew tattooed on your wrist. Are you jewish? Just a random jewish entp here
I am an Enneagram Type 2/ MBTI type 2 ENTP. I personally can relate to all of that because I have an Enneagram type 1w2/ INFJ mother who was simply made for that role as we are on the same waves all the time... Super intellectual discussions full of ideas go on non-stop when we start discussing simply anything... Incredible match :D
**Thinks of clever line to say**
**Scrolls the comments to see all the fellow ENTPs saying versions of the line**
LOL
The first time I ever hear a TH-camr express gratitude for 100 subscribers and you're an Infj. Ugh you guys are so pure and wholesome
As an ENTP who is currently dating a bonafied INFJ
Does anyone actually BELIEVE that this girl's mannerisms resemble that of actual INFJs they've met in real life?
Tom D yes most tend to look pretty shy in public but when you get to know them it’s a different story
I actually just stumbled on your video. I google ENTPs just to learn more about the personality. I did take the personality test. Two times actually. With a separation of a couple months between both times getting ENTPs. I think you really nailed how ENTPs work.
KevinJDacumos Hey thanks!
First off, you seem to know what you're talking about! Secondly, I am a male entp and I agree with everything you say about us. I spend a lot of time with a female infj and you're spot on.
not usually one to watch videos of people talking but your stream of consciousness is really insightful and kind of captivating.
Justin Jordan hey thanks I am glad you found it somewhat interesting!
Being and entp I like to argue just to see how much someone else hold their ground even if I agree. Being the devils advocate is the best
devils advocate
Not bad (red head?)...not bad. Your insights were pretty spot on. I’ll give you that! The part where you describe being somewhere and losing yourself in stimulating conversation for hours....I absolutely love that....it’s a crazy good feeling....especially when you’re getting what is being talked about because I don’t think many ppl think like or understand how we ENTPs really think. It’s cool that you get it. At least there is someone that does. Lol
And suddenly everyone now says He's an ENTP 😂
I'm an entp. She is attractive and funny. But that is not why I'm here, didn't even know she existed. Bring it on blunderbuss.
why would any other type watch this video? we are boring to others and others are boring to us. or is it just me?
Helmuts Vanags Well we are more annoying than boring to others, or so at least i heard.
Immature ENTPs tend to be very dislikeable, even amongst eachother, but mature ones on the other hand seem to be amazing, also according to others lol.
Nope I am not an ENTP.🤔
The purity of intent from INFJ is super captivating. I would not mind marrying an INFJ over INTJ. So glad you INFJs are around
INFJs and ENTPs have a love hate relationship. ENTPs like INFJs intelligence but hate when they shut off. I'm an ENTP.
That's just the way we are.
Top channel, it's like having a conversation, a rare one. Thank you.
Anibal Arauz You are so kind. Thanks!
ENTP and i've found that all my INFJ friends and I get on better:)
Love your videos!!! I've been an INFJ confirmed since sophomore year of high school (about 8 years ago). 24, starting a Ph.D in business psych next year (somewhat regret not doing clinical since I love one-on-on). Any who... I dated an ESFP over a year ago and cannot get over the awesome-life love-about the now-genuine fool.
I've read other forums and it appears ESFPs are notorious for leaving an INFJ heart broken but simultaneously enamored by their authenticity.
Any way (sorry for rambling). Advice?
Again, LOVE your videos! Make me feel like I'm not an alien for my idealistic thoughts!
Aren't INFJ's like the best match for ENTP? I swear on my life, I've never been smitten with a TH-cam girl but marry me real quick, yeah? No prenup or whatever, just one of those cheeky Vegas weddings where Elvis is the pastor.
My best friend is an ENTP (I am INFJ). We always have the most fun with each other, and she is probably the smartest, or at least the wittiest, person I know. And she is so hilarious! I definitely agree with INFJs keeping ENTPs grounded, and I definitely agree that we both are continuously learning things about each other. I distinctly remember her saying how she always is learning something new about me. It is interesting to reflect on our friendship, because it has definitely been an adventure through these past couple of years. I love hearing her perspective on things, and she keeps me on my toes!!~
I'm an ENTP, and I love you.. Wow. I can say you're not only be of the most beautiful girls I've ever seen but also you're very intelligent. I need a girlfriend with this mind and this beauty. Where have you been all my life. Wow
Yes plz we want more of infj and entp relashionship❤
Male INFJ here, my dad is ENTP, we have so much fun together, he is one of my best buddies.
Dude gets obsessive about his few interests, though. (chess, cards, meditation, and then whatever videogame he is obsessed with that year)
The debate point is valid, he takes the opposing side frequently to induce the viewing of new perspectives, regardless of if he has any personal stake in it. It drives people crazy sometimes, though. I usually do that as well, though. I think it has to do with Ti, in order to break down the topic to its finest point you need to explore both sides of the coin and meet in the middle.
Well done INFJ, it's a beautiful thing when the rare ones find each other, the force is electric and we are the spark. Our minds together light up the sky. Shine on wit ya bad self...🙂
ENTP sending
Phew. You nailed it! Your point about how ENTPs and INFJs often reach the same conclusions was really astute. I think it has something to do with the shared (yet inverted) middle functions. This makes for a strong anchor while allowing each party to shine with their unique strengths. I once dated an INFJ who would just blindside me with her Ni insights. We're still good friends, and I just interviewed her for my channel. Can't wait to edit it and get it uploaded. :)
As an INFJ, I can completely understand the attraction to ENTPs. I've dated two of them, but I've found that in the end, they're immaturity ruins things for me. I don't know if it's an ENTP thing or not, but the ones I've met have all been pretty self-absorbed and cold to the feelings of others which is really unattractive. Their whole complex with being smart but not applying themselves is incredibly infuriating to me too. I don't know. ENTPs are definitely fun at first, they're easy to be around, and we have good chemistry, but there's too much in the end that ruins it for me. I'm an ENFP girl lol
INTP may be a better match for you then. We tend to mature faster and are more concerned with how others (particularly those we care about) feel. The "complex with being smart but not applying themselves" would not be any better though.
are you infj or enfp?
Relatable. Sorry. - ENTP
Haiden Maples Wait a few extra years for the ENTP guys to go through their development. Totally worth it!
So are you an enfp or an infj then? I'm so confused
I think I'm starting to see what this ENTP/INFJ thing is all about. There might be less love (or more accurately desire) at first sight than with INTJs (quite physical chemistry), but there seems to be some smooth energy coming out of INFJs. I'm just seeing myself slowly absorbed into some reassuring, comforting, mystical atmosphere while you speak.
Can't INFJs come as a sleep timer ? :p
Would be worth all the counting sheep or relaxing music of the world !
Or maybe it's the lipstick (looks absolutely gorgeous).
Do one on INTPs
As a bonafide ENTP, your description is like a study of my life. Great presentation!
My best friend is an infj and I'm an Entp and this is so accurate.
+Caleb Mansfield Awesome :)
My Ex HAD to be an INFJ. I broke up because of my impulsivity which was in retrospective a bad idea. My theory about the "mutual interest" is the following: ENTP like to explore new things but we get cluttered and need some guidance. Also, we feel that other people find our understanding of emotions to be too shallow which is clearly not. And exactly that is easily compensated by INFJ because they give us the rigidit, stability and guidance we need and also we help them coming out of their shell and feeling validated while also keeping them interested.
It's a win-win
So my theory goes as the following: if you can easily compensate the weaknesses of each other there is a big affection.
INFJS ARE RARE FUCKING UNICORNS i cant find any of you SINCERELY A FELLOW UNICORN entp
+ipodhelper490 lol
+ipodhelper490 Infj Girl. Here.
+Mattkrewe infj guy here
I realize I barely see any infj guys even in youtube, comments, and sites lol
***** i mean infj (males)
i tend to see infj (females) 85% of the time
I'm an ENTP girl and my boyfriend is an INFJ! haha rare match :)
The ability to debate both sides is reflective of the inner dialogue we have when procrastinating over something 😄
