Here it is, everyone! Enjoy! I have begun work on a video exploring the interaction between NFJs and NTPs that will probably serve as the 300 subscriber special, as well as my next type video, ISTP, which should be ready next Thursday, as usual. I don't have copyrights on any pictures except the little doodles.
You know you're an ENTP if you've been told that you should grow up to do X for a living, by different people in about 50 different fields of study.
Yeah that sounds like me, except there are two things people tell me to do for a living. Depending on where they've met me and how much they know about me, people have said I should either be a talk show host/news reporter or pursue a STEM career
Engineer_ 314 lol, I have been told, lawyer, journalist, and engineer. Right now, I am thinking software engineer.
§öphişt Yeah that's right. #hourofcode FTW
Nick Halverson omg same, so many times I've been told like 40 jobs to do
Yup! And every time you hear a new one and look into it for about 15 minutes you're completely convinced you'd be brilliant at it, subsequently get bogged down in the minutae of what needs to be done to get there and how to do it, then either go back to what you were thinking about doing in the first place or get inspired to do some wackadoo shit that's entirely unrelated to any of it. All in about 4 hours.
ENTP's can very well mistake themselves as introverted as they're interested in theory and knowledge and the ones I know are generally often considered quite nerdy. They can be well sustained and occupied in their world of interesting ideas and pursuits.
And also all the truly extroverted ENTP's get lynched for sure. It's almost a fascinating talent how many enemies some of them can make in a single day by just opening their mouth and talking.
Gisol You’ve put into words what I’ve felt for a long time, that one of the reasons I’m so introverted in general is that if I said what I really thought and acted as I really want to, life would be very difficult for me. Maybe because I’m a female ENTP my tertiary Fe is stronger and so that’s why I’m better at holding back, lol.
True. I have a lot of bad blood with people for simply saying what I'm think about regarding them. 🤷🏽♀️
I think an ENTP needs to be scared into their subconscious to understand how they come off to people. ENTPs are not fearful people at all. I think it's important for an ENTP to understand what it's like to be on the other side of their ENTP-ness. They need to feel the anxiety, depression, and overall weakness out in the world. They need to be punished for their punishment. I think when an ENTP does this, they can truly see what other people are dealing with, and bring up that Fe tremendously. The ENTP will be more empathetic and be the empathetic ENTP people want to follow. They will know exactly what other people are dealing with, and then explain to others what they can do about it in a diplomatic way. That's when they can't stop making new friends. Some ENTPs like myself were scared of that. I felt like I had to create boundaries and I went too far. People started assuming I was dumber than I appeared. So I went straight Ti. I realized using my Ne for pessimistic outcomes was taking too much energy, and I'd rather use my Ne for possibilities. This also can probably be achieved with a DMT trip in a silent room, with your eyes closed.
You just put the whole thing in words!! May i borrow this sometimes??
pretty much me with anybody who has authority above me..
Me: but.. that's wrong...
Authority figure: just fuckn do what i said
playing the devils advocate has gotten me into alot of hot water with my parents back in the day.
You should be God's advocate instead.
haha I didn't make the expression, but believe me being an apologist is one of my endeavors.
Andrew Black me 2 bro lol, least we ain't been socratized yet "Socrates was put to death for his insesint questioning" 😂
It gets me into trouble even today. My mother (INFP) does not appreciate my advocacy skills. 36yrs old and still in trouble with my mum.
Yep, especially when it comes to politics. I am simultaneously able to understand the view points of white nationalists alt-right people and anti-capitalist SJW liberals.
My Mum is an INFP and thinks I am a loud, over-confident and cold-hearted douchebag. I love her, that brewing emotional storm of a woman.
Maybe you should move to America where you'll be seen as a lady then :P
Johnny Danger I've seen American women protesting and presenting news headlines. They are far too emotionally charged and ignorant. :P
Dilara Ç it's sad but I totally agree... Not all women here are complete embarrassments however. The ones you saw on TV are a small percentage trust me.
Dilara Ç Don't believe everything you see in the media... People who act that way are hardly relevant... There are 319 million people in the US so even if 3 million act that way that's less than 1% of our population... I've never even met anyone that acts that way. I love America, wouldn't want to live anywhere else.
Johnny Danger its real, and the hatred against whites is incredibly real.
Truth of the matter is, I am right and smarter than a lot of other people.
+UDT116 lmao
I'm an INTP and I disagree.
Exactly, me too.
and very humble
Think you're in the wrong part of town there. We're all humble flowers flourishing from the tears of other people's broken sense of enlightenment.
About the slowness. I actually did quit one lecture because it was too slow. My decision had nothing to do with difficulty of the subject, however receiving information slowly is more difficult than receiving difficult information.
I totally guessed Leonardo Da Vinci! I just read a biography about him.... Smart, flaky, rebellious, funny, kind, logical, curious, and mischievous!
Any ENTPs out here interested in starting their own company? This is my dream.
+Thomas Coy If we're going down the dictatorship route, why not full on become ruler of Earth?
It's the logical next step up, really.
+MissingThrope so hard! I tried this one a couple times, starting over is the biggest bummer :p
MissingThrope the bankers already own the worlds finances.
I mean if you think the world isn't going the way it should then yes, you could try that. FYI, Mao Zedong was an ENTP
but are they ENTPs or even INTPs? If not, who's up for wrecking them?
This guy is not boring I actually find his voice calming -ENTP
Yes, I like having someone like that around me; it is rather like being attached to a parachute rather than just jumping; you still can fly but live to have the experience again.
Dude sounds like agent Smith from the matrix
Entps are just a character class in the matrix
erik bundersen
deadass
-from an ENTP
lol true
I'm an INFP and I have an ENTP friend, she's very clever and creative and witty and she doesn't get hung up on stupid things. I miss my ENTP friend.
Dam thas cool. I'm an ENTP too
What happened to her
I am an ENTP and the video was to slow so I went to settings on the video and put the speed on two then it was much better
By all means!
Haha I did the exact same thing (ENFP).
I'm big on the part about: ideas can overcome details.
Kind of "Where there is a will, there is a way."
This resonates with me in a way I couldn't have imagined! Always been fascinated by human behaviour but i'm only just discovering the mbti model at the age of 28. Now I gotta read every material ever conceived on the topic, until I find a new interest (next week)
I'm the same ... if something interested me I can't stop studying this
Legit what I’m doing now(I’m almost done though(I think))
My bf is an ENTP and I am absolutely mesmerized by his thought processing and ideas as well as his in-depths knowledge of epistemology and general philosophy. Dude is legit hella smart and very open minded in so many aspects.
Entp you guys have great idea i love you!
By infj
Christina Park in search for an infj mate! 😍
Thank you, we love you too random citizen. lol
By ENTP
I love how all of you're videos have the most seemingly random pictures, but then that key point or idea you're trying to convey comes out in words, and it all comes to together
This guy makes me sleepy
-ENTP
Too slow and long to keep the attention of any ENTP.
Oskar Förberg Wrong. He's talking about us, we love that.
+Snobby Gamer Agreed. Still slow though.
+Snobby Gamer Word. :-)
+Oskar Förberg Barely finished your sen-
+Snobby Gamer Exactlyyyyyy!
Appreciating this so hard! The not sweating the small stuff until it backfires later rang most true haha
i'm an ENTP and the most important thing i got from this video, is that i should watch the devil's advocate...xd
It's hilarious going through the comment section of Michael's ENTP videos. You boys have definitely accredited the going theory that we are, in fact, the biggest trolls of all the types.
Good lord after watching this and the ENFP video I am even more confused; I used to believe I was more of an ENFP due to being more sensitive than the token ENTP but sensitivity and emotionality doesn't mean you're necessarily an "F"
True that, its more about your values and stuff. ENFP's also get mistaken for T types, because they have tertiary Te which is more externally apparent, while auxiliary Fi is hidden and thus their sensitivity is hidden but still there. I am quite sensitive and emotional though, just not all the time and I don't always share it with others.
I am cold as ice about most of things, but when i feel that someone is treated wrong, then i can be very emphatic, it is in me, but it needs to be a good reason for me to dig that deep.
@@Northernliiights thats true entp behaviour
ENFP argue different than ENTP, they tend to lose temper earlier and aren’t as strategic as ENTP in building arguments for different phases of the conversation. My sister is ENFP. She understands my thoughts very well, but is not as strategic in argument, same with close ENFP friend.
There are not 2 sides to the coin. That two dimensional thinking is far too limiting. Every object or issue has at least 4 sides, if not a curve than could be conceptualized as an infinite number of sides.
magister343 well figuratively
I agree two sides are boring and mundane. I'd rather look at the structure of some galaxy of stars, or I guess the diamond he spoke of earlier which has multiple facets.
Bravo! I really liked your anlysis. It was a fresh perspective that finally explained some of the tertiary functions and the impacts they have in everyday situations.
NTPs see the world for what it really is and a lot of people don't like that. When we (E) open our mouth to talk about it we are seen as pessimistic and insensitive.
Cause people are bitch niggas that would rather bury their heads in the sand
Considering the world can mostly be summed-up as harsh and insensitive, I think that means you're / we're just good at pattern recognition and don't lie to yourself like most do when they want to feel at ease with the world. Truth hurts.
"Knowing nothing like a boss."
Great job explaining this type. There seems to be a lot of subjective criticism with maybe a small hint of animosity towards ENTP's type in the MBTI media lately. We don't all love debating. Frankly, I would love to gain better control of my external sensing and structure and I'm glad there are alternative perspectives that appreciate the "wise" breed of an ENTP and not the crazy mad scientist popular vp.
Kristian Gali There is nothing wrong with debate. Ultimately, the ENTP is trying to to open upa discussion, and debate is a fun way to do that. Other ENTPs might just "talk", then the idea comes being that they encouraged conversation. Whatever fuels Ne though.
I take a Socratic approach to debate and tend to ask difficult questions rather than play devils advocate or mock people.
Excellent work as always, Michael! I'm looking forward to your upcoming NFJ/NTP interactions video! I'm an INFJ and my fiance is an ENTP, and my two best friends are INTPs. Growing up, ISTPs were my closest friends. So, similarly to you I've had a strong Ti presence in my life and it's certainly affected my behavior and how others perceive me to a degree. It's easy to be confused for a T type by other F types.
My INTP best friend and I are eager subscribers! Keep up the great work! :D
I love this description of the ENTPs use of Ti. This was really well done! (especially compared to many others I've found trying to discuss this by just using mainly the extremely overused descriptors and terminology)
am i the only ENTP who feels disturbingly concern about my well being after watching this? I feel like I already think too deeply about certain issues now it has simply intensified & I dont know what to do about it 😣😣
Do you wanna talk about it more...?
lol. dont worry you are young. you'll get wiser. spend more time with good friends. maybe try brazillian jiu jitsu. its saving my life. lol :}
josh poland that sounds like a great idea! haha!
What kind of issues? If it's something in the lines of your attention span, patience (or most likely the lack of it), fearing you have ADD/ADHD, or just concerned about not getting any work done, then that's natural for ENTPs. (I can say that since I an ENTP myself)
Johnny Danger It's good to know you've finally found a safe niche for your own well-being and personality. Now, to address two issues you've mentioned - the advanced diction choice and you're career passions.
I'm surprised there could be THAT many people around you that would not accept hearing any advanced vocabulary or signs of intellect. That is the definition of ignorance. But I can respect your uneasy feelings about feeling like you don't fit in since I've faced this dilemma myself a few years ago. For me, reading the text of Henry David Thoreau and Ralph Waldo Emerson, which shows just how dangerous it is to conform to other people's beliefs instead of your own.
Now about your career path. I believe engineering is one of the most privileged subjects to get involved with. (Business and politics are pretty close, but there's some minute details where I get a bit turned off from them.) The thing about engineering is it's the closest to real-life magic and wizardry since, if you have the know-how, you can create systems that could potentially fulfill the needs of millions, or even billions. (BTW, what kind of engineering did you work on?)
Very interesting and thought provoking. Just discovered I'm an ENTP. Wild!
These photos kept making me go off track, then I would just start thinking to myself as the video was playing, and then I had to rewind it.
as expected from an entp of course😂
I'm astounded by your work. As an ENTP in college, I have struggled to understand my inability to understand my desires for the future. This video is incredibly thorough and informative for me, and timely if I may add. However, I'm interested in your comments at @5:35. The ENTP plays a funeral march for the facets added to the system, what did you mean by this? Is this "use of a facet" the addition of a perspective to our future mode of thinking? eg. becoming a father, getting married
+Brandon Richards Great question: what I meant there was more to do with perspectives in general, though especially in areas emphasizing critical thinking and philosophy. The ENTP doesn't like dogma being set down without discussion or opportunity for considering it further and getting more information from it. The 'funeral dirge' simply means that any time someone tries to make an idea an unquestionable dogma, the ENTP 'fears' metaphorically for the continued life of that idea, not wanting it to be made a set, stone statue. So as for the future, and the idea of marriage, I don't think that necessarily need to relate. It is not as though ENTPs are incapable of conviction or something. I know of an older ENTP who is married and has ten kids. In his case, he simply explores all the facets of marriage by having so many kids and so forth. The idea of marriage itself need not be considered a dogma. That's what I think anyway -- I don't know if that helps?
+Brandon Richards As an ENTP I agree with Michael's characterization of the funeral march. For me it is really, well if something is known for sure and if something is laid in stone per say, well then there is no more need to leave room for new information about it. I don't like ever falling on an issue or an idea or whatever 100%. I mean we have to make decisions and such, and form ideas and impressions etc., but I always like to leave room that I don't know everything fully about something yet (and I think with a lot of things I will never know them fully and find the ultimate "truth" of sort during my life) and that anything is up to be changed or modified with new information. That is what makes finding new information about something so exciting, who knows where it will lead me. I feel most comfortable to be sure of something maybe only 90%, then I can always leave room to incorporate new information and maybe change how I see something if needed. If something is proved in some way to be knowable as truth 100%, well then I kind of say goodbye to ever giving it any real thought again, it is kind of a funeral for something I thought was interesting that I was liking to ponder, but when there is nothing left to ponder well it is kind of the end of something for me at least as to occupying my thoughts, and I may have liked the exploration into something occupying my thoughts, more so than actually figuring it out 100%.
I think the being a parent/getting married stuff, well of course ENTPs have kids and get married. I think they generally have fallen on the idea that they "think" that these things are going to be right for them and then do them - but they probably weren't 100% sure (but who really is in these areas sometimes some things are a leap of faith). An ENTP doesn't need to be 100% sure to act. But IMO an ENTP is the type that with marriage, even if they find themselves satisfied in their marriage, is not going to think 100% that marriage is for everybody or that is the best state for man to be in on the whole in the romantic. They may question still ideas of marriage which in no way affect their view of marriage for them in the moment now sort of thing. The types if asked if their marriage was a good thing at the end of their life would be sure it seemed to work for me I have no regrets, but if asked based on their experience if marriage is the best thing for mankind well they would say I surely wouldn't know and would have thought through a lot on the issue despite being happily married themselves.
+Brandon Richards I am also an ENTP and have done well in college, I ended up here in Oxford, but not in the traditional sense. I have an A- GPA without as much studying as my peers. Although, I do recognize that what held me back from a 4.0 was discipline. I know our type struggles with discipline and following through with our ideas and it is very accurate. I either need to find a way to become more disciplined or find ways to study by other means. I would really like the take from other ENTPs to see how you all handle the poor discipline aspect of our personality type.
*****
Still happens to me today! Knowing the differences between personality types is a great tool for educators for sure..
No offense dude , but I thought you were gay when I glanced at comments and saw your pic. ... I am straight (not gay,)..but, being told by mbti pros after a workshop for my work , I'm an entp the first thing i thought was "how interesting reading a gay persons perspective on an mbti type (even though I don't relate and I still think imbti maybe a pseudo-science, self fulfilling prophecy stuff, but mbti pros say I'm an entp so I question everything and look at all options, , supposedly) and at the end you talk about kids and marriage etc etc and I gave up trying to understand .... My point being , if there is a point, is you profile pic looks really gay, which is great if you are ..:
ENTP INTP BFF
I wish you would have had a glass of water before you started this presentation.
Indeed! I listened to this through headphones!
Btw the piano song name is "la campenella"
Finally someone talking about the ENTP in depths i can work with and be satisfied. Sure, am I skeptical.. especially about the concept behind the test and what it says about you (not jung) ..
The hardest part is slowing down my external intuition to follow through on ideas. I have a million "BIG" ideas and have yet to execute one. It is the bane of my existence and the source of immense frustration leaving me with a bucket full of unfulfilled dreams. After watching this video I now know why, I've lived solely in the world of external intuition while severely neglecting my introverted sensation. Thinking back, I've made solid and well rounded decisions AND executed them when I've quietly and thoroughly processed information. My greatest disasters have come in the form of hastiness and excessive external feedback. Thanks for this!
Interesting that you compared Si to a painting. I tried to use Impressionism to explain what Si is supposed to be like just the other day. How they took a reality and (in the way Si computes a reality) painted a very specific impression of what they saw, a very subjective one.
Tyler Donhardt You've probably read this quote before, but if not I thought it would be interesting for you: "In the introverted attitude sensation is definitely based upon the subjective portion of perception. What is meant by this finds its best illustration in the reproduction of objects in art. When, for instance, several painters undertake to paint one and the same landscape, with a sincere attempt to reproduce it faithfully, each painting will none the less differ from the rest, not merely by virtue of a more or less developed ability, but chiefly because of a different vision; there will even appear in some of the paintings a decided psychic variation, both in general mood and in treatment of colour and form." (Jung, 'Psychological Types', p. 374).
Outstanding video
As an ENTP, I say this is accurate. Thankfully, I find nihilism to be rather fruitless (even though it intrigues me.) Being a snob for logic does not make sense in nihilism. I think I would have changed to an ENFP if that were the case.
Nihilism is the active rejection of moral and religious ideals and seeing no point to life. I don't see how one could logically argue or through rationality demonstrate the need or place of religion and morality as we understand it in modernity and if there is no transcendent metaphysical purpose to life which I can't see how one could come to the view that there is one through rationality or empiricism then we have no significance any greater than a parasite. I'd find it difficult to believe one is ardently rational and logical, and doesn't find Nihilism to be the only credible non sentimental view point on life devoid of any metaphysical or irrational meanderings.
I've studied nihilism extensively in my major--so I don't need an explanation. I guess that's part of what makes me an ENTP. Just because you find it to be an ideal explanation does not mean everyone will. Nihilism is a popular perspective, but it's difficult to apply it's philosophy to real life directly. Moral ideals are a regular part of social norms. Everyone believes in a right or wrong regardless of what he or she says. Nihilists believe they are more right that non-nihilists. There is no way around that. What trips some people up are trivial things such as cultural relativism. "Some burn their dead, some bury their dead, and some eat their dead." While some cultures may handle the death or a friend or family member in one way, other cultures may handle the corpse in a way that is considered to be wildly inappropriate or morally wrong. However, each culture in this example is trying to handle their loved ones in a respectful manner according to their cultural norms. The same can be applied to sub-cultures within a society. Each human strives to do what is "right" or "good". There are no humans that do "bad" things for the sake of doing things that are wrong. Some may do "bad" things for the rush of adrenaline or the good feeling that results from doing "bad" things. But no one does such things for the sake of the bad feeling that may come afterwords. Though nihilism embraces inconsistencies and non-conformity, I say what I explained alone is too much consistency to persuade me. Nihilistic writings are an interesting read, but the actual application does not hold the water.
pezbrownie You may have studied it, but if you think every person strives for good than you know not of the indifference that a Nihilistic existence brings. It's not a life style, but a conclusion. Cultural relativism is just a weak explanation of an inability to explain that there is no real morality, but social convention and idealism.
I was also pointing out that people aim for pleasure since pleasure at the very least contains a fraction of good. There is no circumstance in which someone aims for pain for the sake of pain. In cases of self-mutilation or cutting for example, the individual is either inflicting pain on him or herself for the sake of relieving themselves from the emotional pain of their current situation. Another common reason is that the individual is suffering depersonalization and aiming to feel something. This quick fix is bringing a temporary sense of pleasure. I don't really see how useless metaphors can apply to the concrete examples I've thought of. If you can give me a handful of examples, that might be more sufficient.
Pleasure is simply a neurophysiological phenomena dictated by the release of neurotransmitters in the brain. It is no more than a conglomeration of neurological pathways, as is the bulk of human habit and personality. In which, pleasure as a mechanism is subjected to plasticity, meaning it changes over time with habit. Implying that what one may find pleasurable today through environmental selection and his choice he will not find pleasurable tomorrow. Therefore, how can pleasure be even remotely considered as good as it is not discriminate and impossible to clearly define, and like much else is subject to social convention and personal belief, all with in the psyche of the person. Pleasure is no more real than some ideological notion. You may say you take pleasure in this, or they take pleasure in that, but it is no real good as it nothing but a word that we use to describe what cause high levels of dopamine in the individual. Further, if human simply aim for pleasure, which from a scientific stand point is completely amoral, then how are they any different from a sparrow or chimp? If they too are bound by their search for good in primitive neurological phenomena that is no more unique to you or any other vertebrate, then it certainly doesn't demonstrate that people are any better than the beast of the fields. Why should one accept that pleasure is really is anything other than metaphysical ideology that no one has ever experienced? If pleasure contains some fraction of good, then can we really know good as it can be clearly demonstrated is unique to the individual? " In cases of self-mutilation or cutting for example, the individual is either inflicting pain on him or herself for the sake of relieving themselves from the emotional pain of their current situation. Another common reason is that the individual is suffering depersonalization and aiming to feel something."- You talk as if feeling is some sort of metaphysical phenomena, and as if emotion aren't just neurochemical levels in the brain. Further, why is pleasure considered good? Pleasure is an imbalance of neurochemical levels in the individual, ultimately it is an extreme in animal behavior, and only human beings willingly seek to be drunk and stupid to feel this chemical imbalance. More so, this drunken mind as you call pleasure only blinds the individual in the scenario you state, never really emancipating the individual from pain, but only delaying it and in some case prolonging it. Not giving the individual to seek any real resolution if there is one. In this sense pleasure is not some good, but indeed evil, as any moralist will say. My point is ultimately this, that there is no morality, and no logical reason to accept these gross ideological notions. Men are no different than animals, we live we die. There truly is no point to life if all we seek is pleasure.
I always test intj or intp... but i'm pretty sure i'm an entp. I used to assume I was just an intp because of shitty social confidence and how closed off I am to the world, but I guess that can go either way.
I do keep quiet a lot because when I try to discuss things, people take it the complete wrong way and end up hating me hahaha
Also, the whistling in your voice is bothering me lol
All this time I thought I was either an INTP or INTJ. I feel as though I experience the world in my head first plus I've never tested as an extrovert. Sure people are fine and all but I often find myself on my own, left to my own devices. I felt that in essence I was an INTP, learning for learn the sake of learning, think first then find connections. Yet in practice I feel judgey and opinionated. The friends that I have are there because I've chosen them -- more INTJ? I need order in fear of chaos (though I am super messy). I am very purposeful and like to have an end game but I wonder if this is more learned because I've been burned SO many times by my infinite ability to gather more information. Unless there are set boundaries I tend to wonder into all of the possibilities before coming to a conclusion. This takes time, often a lot of time, too much time when there's say a deadline, or no one else cares beyond a point.
It's actually been the bane of my existence in nursing school. I want to know why and these "instructors" have no clue beyond what they've learned, rather what they've been told and always done in the field. Then I go and question them or contradict them (and not in an assholish way) and they don't like it. They don't know (or care) so I try to figure it out on my own, adding more to my already full plate. Then I because anxious (and/or depressed) too. Yeah so I literally got "dismissed" (they said I can come back) from school for not getting 100 percent on a medical math exam (we are given three chances). Even though I'd kick the butt of most of students in my class in a "nursing" contest. Hey look, I've digressed. Imagine that!
ENTP?
I tend to get along well with ENTP's. A couple of the ENTP's I've known though don't actually like being put on the spot and questioned. I play Devil's Advocate a lot and a lot of what is said in this video fits me hardcore even though I always register very strongly as an INTP. This makes sense though because my Ne is more developed than my Ti and tends to fire first before Ti, or is at least at an even pegging.
The "ENTP skepticism" is what I have and what leads to various unpleasant interactions with some INFP's and INFJ's as I just commented on regarding your new video on the INFP revisited. This nature I have actually perturbs some ENTP's I've known who'd prefer not to be out "Socrateed" (it often needs to be on their terms and they must initiate the Socratic method.. and will do so in bursts.. but reverse the situation and they can be left very uncomfortable). However, as much as this resonates with me ridiculously well, the core "essence" you present in the INTP video is the fundamental and base layer of my being, despite me having a potentially atypical function hierarchy.
ENTP's tend to be more enjoyable for me to debate with than INTJ's, INFJ's or INTP's because they're less likely to be offended overall and then resort to hiding behind definitions as to threaten to be irreproachable regarding a topic; deflection tactics and subterfuge... easily read and very much held in contempt.
"Nature is not mute ; it is Man who is deaf." ™
I am over 9000% a Devil's Advocate.
LikeASir9719 xD
I had to play this video at x2 speed to not get bored
I'm an ENTP and next year I'm going to university. I don't know what to study: politics, philosophy , conventional medicine & natural medicine, or biochemistry . It's hard to be an ENTP,shiiiit
Earth lover I know the struggle but in case you’re still alive what did you choose?
*Spot, freaking, On*
Great description of the ENTP Personality Type
#ENTP
No wonder why my interests in things keep changing. As far as pursuing careers, I went from environmentalists in 8th grade to electrical engineering in 9th grade and now, as a sophomore just heading into junior year, I'm looking towards becoming a computer programmer, although quantum computing looks much more promising. If there's any proof that shows I'm an ENTP, this is one.
Also, I find it fascinating that you keep showing sketches of trees or branches everywhere because of all the thinking maps out there, the tree tree map has to be my favorite by a mile.
UDPATE: Now I'm considering marketing alongside computer programming. Oh boy. (sighs)
Engineer_ 314 I can understand this so much! I really don't know what to do later, there are just too much opportunities and I know that I become bored so easily so I must find the perfect place for me
lol +Hyarmendilcar when i got to this point in the vid i cracked up and instantly realized the link in ur comment lol. good one Micheal XD
Nice video. There are some minor comments I want to make. ENTPs have childlike external demeanor (observe how Feynman acts in his videos :))
Steven Colbert OTOH has a rigid and stern demeanor (check his angry eyes and upturned brows). He's a judger, most likely an ENTJ (and may have traits of antisocial personality disorder in that he can say things to put his interviewees in "distress" without remorse). So their show seems to be an xNTx dominated show.
Rose McGowan photo is someone else's? And Rose McGowan looks like an ESFJ in her photos. Salma Hayek feels like an ISTJ, dunno.
I'm learning a lot from you bro, thanks!
i KNEW Adam was an ENTP!!! i'm pretty sure jamie is an ISTJ he's definitely thinking and judging
According to CelebrityTypes you're right on both of them: Adam is ENTP, Jamie is ISTJ. Man, typing like a boss! :)

thx^^ i'm wondering about Kari, she seems to be an extravert, not sure on the others but she might be a perceiver., and..if i had to say about feeling or thinking i'd have to say..feeling com to think of it, but i'm truly not sure. intuitive or sensing is always a hard one if it isn't very blatant in the character
intjforum.com/showthread.php?t=68212 this link here says she's an ENFP, which would make me really proud because i really admire that woman^^
Hey Michael, remember me who was switching between INFJ, INFP and ENFP? Well I've been ENTP for quite some time now, alot of the qualities of them hit home with me
***** By all means, how does it? ;o
***** People get their types confused all the time mate. This is a little tangental, but I've seen perceivers who don't understand the functions mistake themselves to be judgers just because they like to be organized.
Nathan Donnelly ;o
damn it! i wanna understand this whole subject area more!
Michael Pierce, you gotta talk to your SE and have it get you a decent mic.
Yep this is me. Thank you Michael Peirce!
John Stewart and Stephen Colbert ? ENTP's would normally challenge the paradigms of both political parties . Both TV shows tended to ridicule just one side.
for ratings
other than you say, we ourselves also are multifacetted!
the depth of this totes makes up for the stick figure level drawings ;)
...wait, that's not Rose McGowan.
He also mispronounced Richard Feynman. But that is clearly not Rose McGowan! Lol
his voice is so bland i could hear him say "bueller? bueller? bueller?"
great video though
Like his videos too. It's pretty common in these sort of psychological videos. You have to sound like you know what you're talking about so why not write an essay first and then read it on a video right :P I mean... that's how it is though. I'd be impressed to see a camera on one of these guys while they talk about these deeply intense subjects. Would subscribe immediately!
Bueller? Bueller?.... I love it 😁
If someone can answer to me, i have read books and seen videos, done tests etc but i cant come to a conclusion if im an ENFP or an ENTP, i know their differences and can tell them apart but i think i go from one to another and im both?
This may be of help...albeit in a negative sense. czcams.com/video/gZsiK96lDow/video.html
I can already tell we could argue very well with you Michael, with very good questions..
Now gonna check out "Jung and Derrida in Biology and Sociology: a conversation with Ilya Dubovoy".
I know this video is pretty old but I have 2 questions regarding this personality type and I will give it a shot. Btw, great work ! :) I will start by saying I am an INFP, maybe that helps in understanding where I stand. And the questions :
- What is the general capacity of this personality type to have intense feelings like love or a very solid friendship bond ?
- And where do they stand concerning morality? Would they typically ignore moral values to be able to get closer to a more opportune possibility? Back stab? Use their charisma to manipulate the masses ? Create weapons of mass destruction just to see the possibility, because hey, that's a possibility too. :) The description seems pretty nice, just a little bit robotic, but I want to understand the dark side. Playing devil's advocate can be harmless or NOT.
I hope I am not offending anyone. I am sure the answer is not all black and white but I am also sure there is an answer. Please just don't put it like "ENTPs value challenging conversations with their significant others" or " ENTPs would typically obey the law, because this would be a logical thing tot do". That would obviously not answer my questions.
To the first question: the answer is "of course". They may be, from an INFP perspective, extremely frustrating about it, but that's just because these types process information differently. The ENTP is not likely to express their love in poetry or even declare it, because they don't consciously think in terms of deep love, at least not usually. That doesn't mean they don't still experience deep love, its just dealt with differently and expressed differently. John Stuart Mill, whom I believe was an ENTP, actually had a nervous breakdown in his early twenties because his upbringing had only emphasized and made use of his dominant ENTP strengths, but not the rest of him as a person, meaning he couldn't deal with the feeling aspects of real life, feelings of deep love and friendship and awe. It was only after a few years of recovery that he learned how to better incorporate that into himself. But he never stopped being an ENTP, only an immature ENTP.
To the second question: on matters of morality, this personality system cannot say a word. There have been both evil ENTPs and ultra-good ENTPs, because how one processes information does not directly bear on what a person does, only important elements in how they go about doing it. So I could suggest how an ENTP would probably back stab someone, if that particular ENTP decided to back stab, but I can't say that ENTPs are more likely to back stab, even if some statistic supported it, because for me it is the definitions and principles involved that are important: empirical data will always be contingent on unreliable present factors.
It's a bit like being lectured by Ben Carson... but on neurosurgery! :)
By which I mean, something he actually understands anything about. So, regardless of your pace of talking, very informative, very well researched and still entertaining. Unlike, say, Ben Carson on foreign policy.
I saw the idea balloon and reality thumb tacks and thought that all we need to do is make a better balloon with really thick rubber, or filled it with something solid, or make sure the baloon avoids the thumb tacks.
Problem solved.
Haitchpeasauce hehe, that's what I was thinking somewhat.
Maybe if the balloon was gelatinous then it wouldn’t pop.
It would still pop.. havent you ever cut into jello? Its not very durable. Maybe a combination of rubber and silicone.. or you could use the concept of how you can stick a needle into those vials that they use for CBC's etc and they wont leak because it sort of closes back up..... or maybe make a rubber that hardens after it expands..
@Kelsea Dawn If the rubber balloon were filled with a gas, then you'd be correct. However, you seemed to have missed the part where he mentioned filling it with a solid. At that point it's less of a balloon and more of a rock but still it isn't being damages by the rock.
if we face the balloon on the other side, and let go of our "idea balloon's" knot, the air (which would be our ACTUAL idea) would blow through the "reality thumbtacks"... so itd be like we "blew" reality out with our "ideas".. instead of letting them pop it... we technically own that balloon/idea, so we can pretty much do what we want with it
Is anyone else uncertain about being an ENTP or INTP? I know they're similar in many ways, but it has been a few months since I first read about the myers briggs test and I still can't tell which most closely resembles me. Any opinions/suggestions are very welcome :)
I thought I was an INFP, but I’m now confused. Intellectually, this speaks to me quite a lot.
I wish I didn't supress details sometimes. HOW THE HELL did da vinci complete what he did?!
Very interesting. I always wondered if Socrates was a social intp or a more reserved entp. Reason being is there are fragments of Greek writings that state that Socrates would sometimes isolate himself and be drowned in his own thoufhts where as an entp is more like Doc Brown from Back to the future or Rick from Rick and Morty: the mad scientist so to speak.
I am old, took MB test 3 times in my life, same outcome definitely an ENTP, thought for a while maybe I am an introvert because of my habit I share with Sokrates. Don't forget ENTPs are really ambiverts, much depends on an individual's life situation and circumstances. Whenever I just can't stand the inanity of the people/world around me I do that very deliberately; I can literally stop in the middle of a sentence to someone and am driven to leave, get away to home, a safe place, where I don't even have to see anyone. Then I go into my own thoughts. When I emerge, i hr., one day, a week, I am sorted out again. It was hard when I had to go to a regular job, I always preferred self-employed.
Michael Pierce is the best
Im an entp and the balloon meeting the spikes metaphor is extremely accurate and Im going to tell you why. Please listen because I don't want any entps out there having regrets and not being able to go back.You'd think that the Ti function stops you from making mistakes but weirdly enough it doesn't. Ne has a way to make Ti its slave. I suffer from some severe knee problems and I'm only in my twenties. The problem arised in my teens and I was too busy with school and ignorant to solve it then. However I thought that a surgery 8 years afterwards would suddenly solve the problem, because of Ne. Searching for an answer I turned to the only possibility I saw and blurred out all the risks and the possibility to actually live on as it were. I could do almost anything in my everyday life, except my leg felt uncomfortably like a prosthesis and I needed to be a bit careful how I used my leg cause it could fold itself with this important ligament not existing in my knee.
Not even regarding my long trace of mental instability I went and had this surgery last year. And now I suffer from side effects which include PAIN, stiffnes, limitness of movement and PAIN again, this time in my poor mental health. My mind is a no consequences balloon and Life is the spikes upon which I constantly fuck up and soon I will be gone because of Ne telling me to finally kill myself. Take my words as a lesson and think not twice but ten times before deciding something mayor. Try to activate Si! I'm 24 yeard old and my life is over because of a stupid surgery.
Yes we are the best at thinking.
Wow! This all sounds pretty complex for a type that counts “Bugs Bunny” as one of their own.
Woz is not an ENTP. Jobs, however...
Excellent work - informative. Do you have one exclusively for the INTP - or does this one cover the gist of it?
11:47 that’s exactly what I’m doing right now at maths and u had to remind me of it while I’m procrastinating in CZcams
2018? anyone
I think you have Te and Ti wrong insofar as the inductive/deductive dichotomy goes. Te is all about establishing a first principle and arguing down from these - black and white objective data - essentially focusing on correct information but not developing the depth and nuance typical of Ti. Ti is bottom up induction which is incredibly detailed and nuanced and leads to entire systems. Your understanding of these two is good for the most part, but I think you have your terms confused.
Trouter Smith I've gotten several comments about me misrepresenting induction and deduction as related to Te and Ti, so I'm fairly certain you're right and I have mixed up my terms. If anything, I'll be refraining from describing Te and Ti as "inductive" and "deductive" respectively, particularly because however you define them the thinking functions can't be defined by those forms of logic: at most they can be related to each other.
The core idea is that Te uses objective facts to formulate a principle or worldview and work from there, but ultimately is more comfortable working with facts and drawing conclusions from facts, while Ti uses "subjective" facts, meaning logical conceptions in the mind which may or may not be directly inspired from some objective facts, which it works with to form the nuanced and complex systems you mentioned, which is why I've related it to deduction, simply because I understand it to be more comfortable working with the abstract principles, theorizing and postulating and figuring out structures to apply to reality, but can have trouble when actually doing said applying to reality and having to account for all the objective facts and whether they fit the theories like they originally thought. Which I'm understanding is not really induction or deduction.
Michael Pierce An analogy that I've come to use is that Te starts with states of reality / fact-sets. Let's envision these as islands. Te operates by using theory as a bridge between these fact-islands - say the current situation and a projected state. Theory's used whether this presumption is reasonable.
Ti (in INTPs at least - it'll probably be more specific and contextual in ISTPs) is like a spider living in a huge web or scaffolding around the world. The thought resides in the web - facts are used to make the web a good depiction of the world, to make sure it's represented properly. So if a Ti type starts from a few facts, and derives a principle from them he then builds a web-system and sees if it needs to be corrected much. No? Probably a good system. Yes? Uh, oh. A Te type, given a principle, would try to see if it leads from one island to another, ie if it's good for building bridges. The thought is in the states the system settles in, the theory is for moving about.
Sangam Swadik La Campanella -- I always list the music at the very end of the video.
You guys think?!
*My fellow ENTPs:* Yes, I know. It's almost painful. Persevere, it's worth hearing. Yes, I know you're down here already and it's not been five minutes yet...It's taken me half an hour to make it through the first five minutes myself. But you should go back up there and back it up a bit when you catch yourself down here, after you refuel your attention span by reading and commenting a bit. Maybe fiddle with the speed settings.
*Random observations/responses to the video:*
1:30 The background got me for a second, lol. I thought there was some person named "Jan Pinkava Ratatouille" and Pixar had based a movie about a cooking rat on him. Had to pause and google. XD Spoilers: There isn't. There was a person named Jan Pinkava _at_ Pixar when they made Ratatouille. It should have just read "-Jan Pinkava" instead.
6:09 "They want to see all the possibilities, all the ideas. They don't care if they only get a glimpse of it, for even a glimpse would teach them something new." You're damn right, because the more you know, the better you can infer and predict.. To quote the BBC's Sherlock Holmes "If you could attenuate to every strand of quivering data, the future would be entirely calculable. As inevitable as mathematics." More practically, a couple companies are actually doing just that, using software to exploit the open web and predict things (Recorded Future and Web Bot, probably among others).
7:34 "As Socrates said, 'The only true wisdom is knowing you know nothing'" Ahahaha!! Really? That's... hard not to get a big head about, to be honest, since I came to the same conclusion independently however long ago I made this account, lol. * points to username* I'm included in the "Nobody" my name speaks of.
11:49 I fucking hate math. Well, no, I hate that it makes no sense to me because my teachers were incompetent, but "I fucking hate math" is shorter.
12:34 Indeed. And this czcams.com/video/WMOus7e8hyM/video.html#t=1m00s is how we know that life sometimes works. :P
YAY! I made it all the way through! Only took me an hour of repeatedly coming back while doing other things. XD Even got a meal in, haha!
I fell asleep watching this...-.-
😂
I paused and came down to the comment section lol
Marco i didnt even pause it lol
Great video, Michael. A well thought out conceptualization. I score both ENTP and ENFP on typology tests, but I get ENTP quite a bit more frequently. I would love to see material addressing the relationship between psychopathology and one's score on a typology test. I have been diagnosed with ADHD and have always wondered if the disorder accounts for my scoring ENTP on tests, or if I've been diagnosed with ADHD simply because of my ENTP nature. Furthermore, I've always wanted to read material that addresses the effects of upbringing and environment on personality type. Can you (or anyone else) give me any suggestions of where I might find such material?
smoothops627 Well, the best I personally can offer is the first few pages of Chapter X in Jung's "Psychological Types", where he goes over this somewhat briefly, and essentially says the personality type seems to be an inborn thing, which can be altered only at the expense of the child's mental health. I believe he does talk about development of psychology in children elsewhere, but I am not familiar enough with that aspect of his work because it does not touch directly on typology. I open the question up to anyone else who can help smoothops627 out?
smoothops627 And glad you liked the video! Thank you!
just be as honest with your self as you can be you should already know what is most important to you and which type you acctually are when i was younger i was typed at enfp but through more self discovery i found out i was an entp
Stop listening to those labels. That's my advice. They will hold you back. Just like beliefs.
I still think ENTP's, including myself, we are the "divergent" side on the real world ( for the one's that doesn't know what I mean look for the book, not the movie, the movie is horrible ).
Plus I have a question, is it normal for a ENTP, complicating everything, even if it is simple and has high ambition?
As an ENTP, I complicate everything for myself. As far as internally making subconscious rules or conditions to follow. It's frustrating and difficult to explain.
Derek Townsley Same problem as myself man, I mean at 10th Grade, I need 6 Pages to do an 1:30h test, lmao. At least I get insanely good grades... But at portuguese ( my native ), man it downgrades to a 50-60% in tests, :/

Cliche. Maybe those people didn't find the video interesting or maybe michael pierce was talking too slow. But yeah I do have an ISTJ brother who doesn't like this stuff, so maybe your right.
Oh no, not Adam Savage. He's a Flux Capacitor inspiring head bump away from the cliche.
5:54 That's what happened when I learned everything I could about mbti, I just said "so that's it?" And then I felt so sad.
I still think House MD is an INTJ and Wilson is an ENFP
Wilson is definitely not ENFP, but I'm still undecided. In terms of their relationship dynamics they should be the ENTP-INFJ architypal relationship. Like the Devil-Jesus or cat and mouse relationship which is how I describe it to myself. But I'm still on the fence as to what cognitive functions these characters are actually portraying.
I'm an ENTP--my sister is an INTP. Spot on. Hahaha!
B Dan lol I am also an entp with an intp sister. Funny
That's not Rose McGowan, good sir.
Interesting....
BTW Stephen Colbert took the MTBI on his new show and came up INFP.
+Infinite Metamorphosis .. ah, my typo, meant MBTI Myer Briggs Temperament Indicator / Keirsey / Jungian type sorter He took/completed one of the sorting tests and came out as an INFP which is counter what this video claimed him to be.
+Brion Reid He’s an actor/performer. His character/persona looks more ENTP. As a person, home with his wife and children, he is INFP.
im a ENTP but i develop me from INTP it is possible but a hard way i guess i did it to get more expirience from the enviroment i stop to care about details i stop to accept dogma's it boosted my mind to the limit now i can say im on my way to get freedom
We are also the most humble type, other types will never be as humble as us
One thing I've wondered for a while (and wondered if it's ever been studied) is why I'm an ENFP but all my life I've been attracted to ENTP's. Even wound up with one for a husband. I can't be unique in that.
Edotter You made this statement a long time a go but i'll reply anyway!
I think it's to do with our natural comfort within confrontation and debate, and our ability to apathetically play the role of devils advocate too well. Being in a relationship with someone who cannot respectively challenge us or make adequate rebuttals or even take offense, would just be to frustrating. We usually are very blunt and it take a particular type of person to tolerate that. And who better than another ENTP?
I am infp and entp's are my favourite people
Woah, woah, woah, woah woah.... Lois, this is not my Batman glass.
@3:00 - Did that Homo sapien sapien age 5 actually evolve its core processor to adjust its external dictation of its internal dialogue that much in only 4 years??!?
Love entp and enfp
I'm not an entp (I'm intj) but they'll probably see the coin as a cylinder with a really thin altitude. They'll also notice the infinite possibilities of the design and it's infinite interpretations.
No No No... You got it wrong ;) Let's say I get a new coin I've never seen before. I get interested of it, glance it throughout and throw it away, after all it was just a small penny. THEN I start thinking about what money is anyways and quickly progress into economical theories and quantities of money.
