What else would you add about the difference between ENTP and ENFP?
9:04 Absolutely! I was having a hard time typing myself, mainly because the internet ENTP stereotypes are for the most part utterly inaccurate. It was until I delved into function that I realized more and more that I was indeed an ENTP. But the internet paints this picture of the ENTP, as someone that just loves to antagonize everyone. Like if the ENTP main goal is to piss and annoy everybody off.
But in reality, and I have seen it in plenty of ENTPs, I am more of a chameleon. With Fi blind and tert Fe, we love to be loved. So I simply change and act, depending on what is apreciated in the specific group I am in. I do not even do it conciously, it is something that simply comes natural and I do not even realize that I do it. I rarely if ever am expressing opinions, but what i do is I do in fact say and or correct when something someone said did not make any logical sense.
Of course I would not be an agreeable person, but I am not an opinionated person as the stereotypes suggest. An ENTP would be more likely to be the one saying "Why?" "That doesn't make sense" "this is a contradiction" rather than saying "This is what is true" or "this is the right opinion". Because I never have strong opinions, instead I am always questioning my opinions, and I never feel like if I have ever truly reached the truth on something. Even what i take for granted, I question it multiple times. So how can i tell something is true with confidence, if I can't even be sure myself? But I can always immedeately tell when someone says somethign that doesn't make sense to me and I call it out immedeately.
Whereas my ESFP brother, he seems to have really really strong opinions about a lot of things. Always so passionate about them as well. Problem is that questioning them often does not really yield results, because he can't back them up and he doesn't like being questioned.
It happened again, I was going to write one or two sentences, and... my Ne just made me write an essay, lmao.
ENTPs don't care about right and wrong. They care about being corect. So they are always rooting for information and trying to care for their information source.
I have a brother who is ENTP and a sister who is ENFP and I would definitely say that my brother is more inclined to argue based on logic and be like a devil's advocate arguing every side, and my sister is more likely to argue based on her values and talk about things she's interested in, or get upset when her values aren't appreciated or upheld.
My sister seems more open to hearing other people's perspectives, while my brother likes to give others his perspective. My sister seems to have a more naive/innocent/idealistic vibe and my brother is more cynical and thinks he knows more than almost everyone and so has been "corrupted by the truth." These are the differences I notice in them.
They are both very much into philosophical discussions, so I could talk to each of them for hours and hours. Growing up, I shared a room with my sister and we would sometimes talk til two in the morning. Me being the INTP, I would basically fall asleep while we were still talking, lol.
If I was trying to have a conversation with both of them at the same time, I probably would barely ever get a word in edgewise. One on one, I probably talk about half as much as they do.
Since they both have 4th slot Si, they are not the best at upkeep of the home. But my sister is very much into organizing things when she gets a burst of energy. Cleaning is not something either of them is super inclined to do.
Growing up, my dad basically made us drink fresh squeezed orange juice every day (I know I sound spoiled, but if you don't like something and you have to drink it every day, it's not pleasant). Anyway, my sister would leave cups of orange juice on her dresser and it would be there so long that it would eventually grow mold. This happened on more than one occasion, and sometimes there would be multiple cups of orange juice building up on the dresser. Needless to say, she didn't drink all her orange juice! LOL!
thank you for this, from an ENTP
Interesting that an entp is more likely to provide his own perspective and less likely to be open to additional perspectives. But considered to be more logical then your sister. . When everything we know to be considered to be most logical is provided by the collaboration of perspectives, research and experiences of people.... Which would make an unbiased and open approach to gaining these perspectives a more refined version of logic. On the other hand if you stop at a point of know it all... your logic is biased and therefore less refined. We just don't share logic as a matter of fact, because it's a matter of perspective and additional perspectives are often required before we will even consider it truth.
@@devinrosenow496 Oh, I didn't mean that my ENTP brother isn't open to others' perspectives, just that when he is talking he really wants to get his thoughts out about the things he has been researching and thinking about. All Ne people do, and I'm sure every individual is different, no matter their type. I guess I was just pointing out this particular difference where my ENFP sister seems to ask more questions and there is a bit more back and forth, and my ENTP brother is kind of just a steamroller of puking ideas one after the other without breathing in between (exaggeration). I do not know if this is for sure a difference between ENFPs and ENTPs. Just a very specific example of one ENFP compared to one ENTP. It could be different with different people. I know that if I stopped him and said, "Can I say what I think?" he would be like, "SURE!" and actually quite enthusiastic about hearing what I had to say about it. And then he'd pretty much start steamrolling again. I know it's hard for all Ne's to just shut up and listen when the ideas are flowing, me included, when I'm with someone who has less to say on something than I do.
that is the first video that actually made me uderstand I am not ENFP, but ENTP. When I do the test I always get one or another, I think it is because ENTP is really judge in this test as non-emotional, and I do feel very empathic towards people. But It is just like you said, I feel the connection to almost everyone, regarding their opinions, and I always will try to contest something, even though I dont do this agreesively
I slightly lean towards being ENFP. I hate when people act like different people based on which crowd they’re with. I do this to an extent, but it’s more like I don’t let my full self out around people unless I’m comfortable with them, then I let it all hang out. I can be very formal and to the point when talking with people I don’t know. I’m letting different amounts of my personality out based on my comfort level, but I’m not shifting my personality. I’m either muting it or letting it out. I think there’s fear in letting my full self out and having it rejected.
I relate to this a lot. I thought I was an entp for a long time and recently I realized I think I have more Fi and Te than Ti and Fe and (especially recently since I've been making self-improvement goals) I value honesty and loyalty, especially to myself a lot. I am also a sh** liar ☠️ and I don't see the point in lying anyway tbf. I also don't change myself much for this reason cause it's quiet difficult anyway but I will adjust slightly to the environment in the way you mentioned. :)
@@maddy8615 thanks for sharing. I’m now back to thinking ENTP again btw. Typing yourself can be so hard!!
I also feel weird about lying, but have found that I will bend the truth when needed. I am more prone to do this to people I don’t respect as much, though I try to show everyone a baseline level of respect. When I do lie, I try to make it as true as I can so I’m “technically” telling the truth, or just omit certain info. I can be quite good at it. I am very set on keeping my word and things like that though. I hate to say one thing and do another, or not follow through. ENTPs do value fairness, I hear, and that can be where my “treat others as you want to be treated” approach comes from.
URGH! Why do I still relate so much to BOTH??
Try enneagram
@@yookster8239 I hAVE UiashdjjhasjdhJJHSD
But I now know I am ENTP anyway so is fine
@@yookster8239ENNEAGRAM IS MORE CONFUSING 😭 i don’t know if I’m 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, or 9 kill me
It's easy to see how Ne with responsible Ti can tick a lot of people off to me. The amount of angles for debate becomes effortless
Definitely!
@@INFJinxed Yea it’s frustrating when you subconsciously do it but hey whatever
@@Joey-zl5te lol 👍
Thank you for the amazing class. It's interesting to see how a ENTP changes the way he talks with different peoples. It's like a social chamaeleon hehehe.
ENTPs have Fi trickster, it's so low on the function stack. And ENFPs just...have it as a parent. I wish I could explain this to Fi users. I don't know what my values truly are. It feels restrictive, and arbitrary. And emotions in general truly feel/statistically are unreliable. I admire INFPs or ENFPs that can navigate life with Fi. But I simply don't get it. I try, usually through a Ti/Fe lense. What's logical, and what creates social harmony. That works pretty well for me. And I don't feel married to a potentially shitty morality. I have...a few moral convictions. But I'm older, and have tried really hard to embrace all the functions. But trickster is almost worse than demon. I understand my demon, I just loath it. My blindspot is literally hard to see. It's aptly named.
But we can still come across as warm because Fe child. Between ENFP and ENTP.....the ENFP is likely to accidentally ruin a friendship....but the ENTP is doing it on purpose. That's a big difference. We're both creative, chaotic, and forgetful. A younger ENTP will accidentally info. dump people though, and that can push people away. I notice that a few types also do this. INFPs and INFJs that really like someone will do this. In general though, people tend to like the ENFP more in the long run. They're just charming for being themselves. ENTPs can only charm you for a short periods of time. You may love them in the moment, but the moment will fade. Most people are confused on how they feel about their ENTP friends. Do they like them? Do they hate them? They're usually not sure. We tailor made a mask...just for you. It's part authentic, part superficial. It's who we truly are. We are what we need to be....like water. I used to call myself a mirror as a child. If you don't like me, it's probably because there's something about yourself you find uncomfortable.
Can't keep myself to give my perspective here. I can relate with your comment that said we are like water, we could shape and bend ourselves depend on the social context.
At that time, I feel bad because it seems I am being dishonest and manipulative. But one thing, I try to understand my stance by not saying to them "I agree" to things that I don't think trough because I need time to ponder and analyze.
My friends know that I am chaotic and opionated to things that I already thinking about that topic before and it's hard for me to stop. Some of them even say that I am toxic, could be dramatic, and another red flag personality that you add up here. But I don't think myself that way, I believe we are in the process to understand ourselves, therefore I don't label myself as negative person. It's just I need to understand myself better.
And I try to be more honest, even it takes time to know what I really feel about something.
10:28 at this moment I realised I was almost (thanks, Ti...) indubitably an ENTP. Thank you for @INFJinxed for bringing your thorough understanding, without all the ENTP stereotypes, to this video in a clear way.
I liked the explanation of the temperaments at the end because this is very different between the 2 types. 👏🏼 It colors them in a certain way that is easy to spot to observers.
Can I be an Entp? The tests give me Entp and Enfp. I am a very sensitive person, I can cry because of the sad song of Lana Del Rey, damn it. I adore romantic films with beautiful aesthetics and fullness of feelings. I love to run music through myself. I love sensations, fantasies, beauty. I am very sensitive to other people's criticism, I can be very choleric. I can be indecisive, but at the same time, I can write to an ex after 4 months of separation and a friend with whom we had a big fight, just because it came into my head. At the same time, I cannot be angry for a long time, but I can also be vindictive. I often forgive people, but at the same time I don't trust anyone, I can be very manipulative. I really appreciate logic and facts, although emotions overwhelm me as a result, I still choose logic, as it will be better for me. I am very skeptical, even to myself. I love to learn everything new and find the truth in unresolved cases, I have been studying mbti for 2 weeks now and I even think about it in my SLEEP, my thinking process just never stops. I'm stubborn and purposeful, that's the only thing I understand. Like "I don't need sleep, I need answers." Although I am somewhat of a humanist, and it bothers me when people do not pay attention to other people's feelings, at the same time I am very selfish, and most likely I will make a decision in my favor. I can only sacrifice myself in relationships, where I am very giving. But if I cannot emotionally interfere with a person, I do not give in to him. Friends always accuse me of selfishness, that I don’t know how to take other people’s points of view, because I need a WEIGHT argument to compare my opinion with someone else. But at the same time, I am very empathic and read the emotions of others well, I can cry because of other people's emotions if they are similar to my experience, I used to help people a lot, they were a personal psychologist, I realized that people do not appreciate this, and just stopped helping people and searched so deeply in others. At the same time, I don’t know how to emotionally support people, I don’t know how to verbally sympathize, I just fall into a stupor. I mean, I have a very strong Fi because I love to dive into emotions and feel them, they are in the territory of a huge part of my life, but that does not mean that I give in to everything I want. I can only be very impulsive when shopping, but as far as real life goes, I'll think twice. At the same time, I like to live in the present moment, but I always want to improve my life, I think in advance what can be fixed, what opportunities there are. I have a very strong Ne, I think. I am one of those who think 10 options ahead of the development of events in any situation, I am one of those who "warn" people and myself. I often argue with people, I don't just believe in sayings or facts on the internet. I love sarcasm and original answers. I am very skeptical and don't trust people or anything I see. I just can't have too much Te. I think I have Ti and strong. Though I also love attractive men, but more in others I am attracted by the brain and erudition, I am excited by someone else's self-confidence and foresight. Whatever I think about myself will never happen in ENFP or ENTP. If there was any intermediate option, it would be me! Am I too sensitive ENTP or am I still ENFP? But I think ENFP is too simple for me, and for ENTP I feel too many emotions. I think due to mbti stereotypes, real understanding of types is difficult.
I think having strong Ne makes you not take facts at face value. It is forcing you to look for other explanations and possibilities rather than the accepted ones. You are looking at all of the possible realities and perspectives and what may lie under the surface. One possibility would be that the person finding statistics has some kind of bias. Ne users can be into conspiracy theories and any explanations that may be “other”. This doesn’t rule out either type imo.
Most of what you said described me perfectly (I'm an ENFP and I thought I was ENTP for like 6 months 😨) so I'd recommend looking more into ENFP 🤷♀️
Why am i so confused on finding my type. It looks like ENTP, ENFP & INTP all at the same time 😢 😡
I can relate. You’ll figure it out as you go. I mistyped as INTP, and now I’m in between ENTP and ENFP. Actually I think I’m ENFP.
Can any of yall help me? I feel like a combination of ENTP and ENFP. When I was in elementary school, i used to be super offended when I thought someone was gossiping about me. I thought “i tried to be nice, but i guess none of yall are having that shit!” So I turned to the kid and choked them. I yelled at people to get them to fear me. At the same time though, my home life wasn’t really good so I think that turned me angry. But then in middle school I just cooled down by a whole lot. I used to study mbti in those times so I think I kinda pretended to be an ENTP??? It’s been like 2 years since that happened and I picked it up again. Right now in my life, it’s just hard to anger me. I always think before I act. I’m like “too chill”😅 sometimes I can’t get angry even if I SHOULD be but I just think “Nahhh not worth thinking about. If I see them do that shit again though they’re GETTING it.” I’ve always used Ti to break down things into the basics though. Sometimes even arguing with the teachers and figuring out the math formula and do it my own way while everybody else is using the one the teacher gave them. I taught myself how to do it another way by figuring out how it works. And I’m a social chameleon too, sometimes I don’t think I even have a personality. Just what everybody else expects me to be I guess.
Idk tbh. I think I use Fi because I got angry quite a lot but then learned how to keep it all under wraps. But I also think I use Ti to understand something my own way. Can anybody help me out pls??
When I took mbti online test 6 months ago , I found out I’m a enfp and recently when I took it again to recheck it came out to be entp and so I came here to recheck it again and found out that I’m a new breed of ENFP+ENTP mix !!! Nice Work #Universe #Special 🐣😇
Same
Mmm you can't be both. Yes, of course MBTI is just a theory, but according to the theory, you are either stronger in certain functions such as Ti or Fi and therefore would be one or the other. Again, not saying your whole personality is based off of this test, but it's not uncommon to mistype and get different results on multiple occasions. It's more likely that you've either tried different tests with different results, the same test but chosen different answers both times based on your current self-image or mood, or one really generalised and crappy test like 16 Personalities. Don't worry, you're still special my ENFP friend, but unfortunately there's no such thing as a half-breed when it comes to Myer-Briggs, and even in a dichotomy like 16 personalities you'd either be at least 51% feeling or thinking.
More and more i cant say which one I am
Hi
I have taken the Mbti test several times. Each time it has shown me entp but I can be quite sensitive sometimes. I also enjoy planning and making schedules if the thing that I am planning interests me. But if the subject doesn’t interest me I will not want to plan it and instantly get bored. I don’t enjoy micromanagement at all which is quite entp as well. I have considered I might be an enfp but I’m not a people pleaser and I’m usually committed to things that interest me. I have considered I might be an entj but most of the time schedules and planning things that I’m not very exited about is very boring to me.
So I’m not sure
Can you be both an entp and enfp😂
If you know what I might be I’d love for you to reply
Hey! I know I’m not the author of the video. But yes, ENTP and ENFP are more like a state of mind sometimes. ENTP and ENFP distinct difference is if they base their view of the world off of emotions or logic. They are both able to interpret different views very easily, being so adaptable that they can be interchangeable. However, if you go on a mission to follow away from your Extroverted side, and truly learn if you value the emotion or intuitive thinking of the world on your own, you will have a solid answer.
In music I think Billy Corgan (Smashing Pumpkins) is Entp. He picks fights with everyone.
Im pretty sure he is INFJ actually
Cery clear and smooth reflection
Entp
Thanks for insight
neat
Which one is more likely to engage in Groundhog Day?
haha I am not sure I know what Groundhog Day means. I assume it's an American thing?
@@Miss_Anne_Thropic Alright, thanks for clarifying. Hmm, I would not say ENTPs or ENFPs would necessarily be examples of people often engaging in this
By Groundhog Day, do you mean acting like a groundhog and hibernating if it sees its shadow? Or do you mean like the movie where it's the same day every day... or trying to do something different each day to get a different result? And what do you mean by "engage in"? Is this a joke question, or serious question...?
@@lishayost144 yes it was more on a just being an ass comment. Although somewhat serious in wondering when in an unhealthy state which type is more likely to engage in the behavior of doing the same thing and hoping for a different result (internally or externally).
@@hopeinhumanity. hmm, that would be interesting to figure out which type(s) are the most likely to engage in "insane" behavior when in an unhealthy state... or is it that types will simply engage in different "insane" behaviors depending on their type... insane being: doing the same thing over and over expecting different results.

If it's intelligent then it's an ENTP
ENFP’s literally have the most representation in Mensa…so you are wrong.
=}} ...and you are very smart saying that. Your power to comprehend things is unimaginalable, very deep and on point. Your complexity way of thinking, connect and compare the informations is astonishing. Is really impressive that you can just compress all the differences between entps and enfps in just one very precisely affirmation. When I saw your comment I realized that the effort made by this girl is just useless, you solved the doubts in a sec. I really appreciate- Enfp here 🤡🥴
Yawn. ENTP.
