Myers Briggs Personality Type:
The Entrepreneur
ENTP
People with ENTP preferences constantly scan the environment for opportunities and possibilities. ENTPs are good at understanding how systems work and are enterprising and resourceful in maneuvering within them to achieve their ends. They are stimulated by difficulties, quickly devising creative responses and plunging into activity, trusting their ability to improvise. Enterprising, resourceful, active, and energetic, they respond to challenging problems by creating complex and global solutions.
ENTPs are entrepreneurs who are always sharing or selling their next great idea and attempting to generate enthusiastic support for it. They are remarkably insightful about the attitudes of others, and their enthusiasm and energy can mobilize people to support their vision. ENTPs live the science fiction, which the rest of the world calls farfetched but then eventually catches up with us. Fed by their idea generating nature, these ideas spill over into a constant drive for competency and capability in a wide range of interests.
They have a relentless drive for competency in themselves and others. They see life as a daily challenge; to compete, stretch, share, and learn; always to strive to improve one-self and others. Unfortunately, colleagues and subordinates can easily tire of the ENTP’s restless and insatiable appetite for improvement. That can lead to frustration and low moral on the part of the rank and file- ironically opposite of what the ENTP was trying to do.
For ENTPs the game is never over. There are wins and losses, but mostly it is one exciting challenge after another. The important thing is the challenge. “Did you learn something in the process?” “Is life (or the work place) better off because of the process?” “How ready are you to take on tomorrow because of what you’ve learned today?” These are all semi-rhetorical questions that underlie most of the ENTP’s energy for daily work.
