ENTP
This is because they are considering many factors at the same time. They enjoy lively discussions and may appear to be challenging and confronting. They are one of the least conflict-averse types.
ENTPs are often curious people who are always delving into new sources of information. They ask questions and can appear impatient if the person doesn’t seem to know something, or if the ENTP feels they are in error. ENTPs are very resilient and creative problem solvers. They are stimulated by situations that others would think difficult. ENTPs as Team Members
ENTPs are most often strong individuals who either lead groups or who will be self-directed in projects. They make their best contribution in situations where they are called on to lead in new directions and probably will not continue long in situations that require them to maintain a repetitive system. Andy Rooney, b. 1919, is an ENTP type best known for his role on 60 Minutes. Rooney takes on the silliness of things that occur in life such as how things are packaged or forms where the spaces are too short. He is funny and controversial. They will almost always be found identifying the new strategies they’ll be using, and may seem to constantly work to gain control of the group process. They can appear to always be competing for their place in the group. What are ENTP Issues and Challenges in Groups/Best Alliances? ENTPs excel at taking organizations forward and fast, usually with a great deal of competence. Because they dislike the status quo and can have a distaste for details, they will be seen by some as favoring "change for change’s sake." Because of this, the ENTP should form alliances of trust and dialogue with those types that favor stability of process over change and innovation. In that way they can balance their ingenuity with others who see the need for maintaining systems that must change more slowly. ENTPs and the Rest of Their Lives Because ENTPs value change and spontaneity, they can be surprisingly adaptable in relationships with people who can follow them through their process. Spouses and children will find that although the ENTP may take a position so strongly that they would seem unlikely to change, the ENTP upon further reflection will often come around to the others’ point of view. Their curiosity often leads them to questions and investigation that can change their directions. |
