ALL ABOUT MBTI TYPES

MBTI All About ENTP: Debater

ENTP: The Debater (Extroverted, Intuitive, Thinking, Perceiving)

People with this personality type are often described as innovative, clever, and expressive. ENTPs are also known for being idea-oriented, which is why this personality type has been described as "the innovator," "the visionary," and "the debater."

ENTPs Rely on Four Key Cognitive Functions:

Dominant: Extroverted Intuition

ENTPs tend to take in information quickly and are very open-minded. Once they have gathered this information, they spend time making connections between various complex and interwoven relationships. They are good at spotting connections that others might overlook and tend to be focused on possibilities. They have entrepreneurial minds and are always coming up with new and exciting ideas.

Auxiliary: Introverted Thinking

This cognitive function is expressed in the ENTPs thinking process. People with this type of personality are more focused on taking in information about the world around them. When they do use this information to reach conclusions, they tend to be very logical. ENTPs are logical and objective. When making decisions, they place a greater weight on rational evidence instead of subjective, emotional information. This function works to help the ENTP understand all the information that comes in through the extroverted intuition function. This involves imposing logic and order to help make sense of many disparate ideas and pieces of information. ENTPs don't want to just understand that something works - they want to understand the why and how behind how things function.

Tertiary: Extroverted Feeling

As a tertiary function, this aspect of personality may not be as well-developed or prominent. When developed, ENTPs can be social charmers who are able to get along well with others. When this aspect of personality is weaker, the ENTP may be insensitve to others and can even be seen as aloof or unkind.

Inferior: Introverted Sensing

The introverted sensing function is centered on understanding the past and often applying it to current experiences and future concerns. This is often a point of weakness for ENTP personalities. They are often focused more on possibilities and may fail to consider how past precedents may help predict outcomes. ENTPs also tend to overlook many of the more mundane details of daily life, especially if they are deeply involved in a project or plan.
