ENTP Innovator

ENTP description:

ENTP is a person who:

E (extraverted) — is energized by new events, actions, and people
N (intuitive) — likes to work with ideas and abstractions
T (thinking) – operates with logic in decision-making
P (perceiving) — prefers freedom and unpredictability
Inventors are passionate innovators who are always looking for new intelligent solutions to challenging tasks and thinking about creative ideas. They have an inquisitive mind and high intelligence, striving to understand the surrounding systems and how things work.

ENTPs are very contagious, active, and energetic. People like their sophisticated ideas. They are witty and often seem eccentric. ENTPs are visionaries who transform the world through their ingenuity and ability to see the whole picture. Logic and intuition are successfully combined in them with natural charm. Inventors like to participate in brainstorming sessions, offering innovations and fresh development concepts. They choose not to walk the beaten track and challenge themselves to bring something new to the world. An ENTP is a fountain of ideas. A developed intuition allows them to easily anticipate events and accurately assess the prospects.

Despite their ingenuity, ENTPs have difficulties when they have to deal with the description or elaboration of details. More often, it may seem that they are more interested in coming up with something than bringing the idea to life. Inventors don't have a balanced mindset. As a result, they can endlessly and randomly go through their ideas, jumping from one to another, and which leaves the ideas unfulfilled. ENTPs are more focused on gathering information and coming up with a concept than on materializing it. If an ENTP does not learn how to finish what they started, they will remain a fruitless dreamer in its worst incarnation.
ENTP statistics in the world:
  • 3% of the total population
  • 4% of men
  • 2% of women
ENTPs are very flexible. A new problem or difficult circumstances are opportunities to offer a unique solution. They intuitively understand situations and think very quickly, which allows them to easily adapt and feel good in an unfamiliar area. If Inventors have to do monotonous, routine work without the opportunity to realize their creative potential, they die of boredom.

Freethinking is another distinctive feature of ENTP. They love non-standard people and do not accept limits and restrictions. Inventors need freedom of action and follow their creative vision. With a broad outlook, ENTPs are knowledgeable in different areas of life, which makes them interesting conversationalists.
Expressing feelings is not the strongest skill of the ENTPs so they may feel uncomfortable here. ENTPs are great at using logical thinking, but they have difficulties in the emotional sphere. They don't see much value in showing feelings.

ENTPs’ awareness and sense of humor make others love them, but they can easily and unintentionally hurt other people. If ENTPs do not learn how to listen to other people and think about feelings, they will become too harsh and aggressive.

What will be useful for ENTP to learn:

Attention to detail. ENTPs do not like to go into details, preferring a general vision and strategy. ENTPs are more interested in ideas and theoretical solutions than in practical, day-to-day affairs. They can easily come up with a perfect plan of action, but they can't put it into practice. ENTPs suffer when they cannot delegate a routine. They have to spend a lot of time and effort if they need to clarify the facts and study every detail. As a result, they lose motivation and get irritated.

Self-organization. Due to the creative nature and constant flow of new ideas, it is difficult for ENTPs to focus on specific tasks and invest in a time frame. They overestimate their strength, often breaking deadlines and agreements.

Stable self-esteem. ENTPs like to have their ideas appreciated and become short-tempered and absent-minded if they feel undervalued.

Consistency and ability to get things done. ENTPs often jump from one idea to another. It's hard for Inventors to focus on one particular topic. When working on a project or task, a lot of ideas are in their head that they immediately want to try.

Tolerance to routine tasks. It is difficult for ENTPs to work with hierarchical structures and bureaucratic procedures. They tend to break the rules and established order, which can cause dissatisfaction from people who value tradition, order, and structure.

The ability to put ideas into practice. ENTPs are not inclined to pay attention to the practical side of the issue. They are more interested in generating new ideas. At the same time, they do not think about how to apply the results of their solutions practically. Because of the lack of detailed elaboration, some ideas remain only beautiful fantasies on paper.

Ability to keep focus. ENTPs cannot focus on one specific task or idea for a long time. They often spend their attention on many areas and do not achieve final results in their activities.
