ENTP (Extraversion, iNtuition, Thinking, Perception) is an abbreviation used in the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI).
The ENTP has been described variously as the innovator, the originator, the lawyer, the inventor, the explorer, and the visionary.
ENTPs are frequently described as clever, cerebrally and verbally quick, enthusiastic, outgoing, innovative, flexible, loyal and resourceful. ENTPs are motivated by a desire to understand and improve the world they live in. They are usually accurate in sizing up a situation. They may have a perverse sense of humor and sometimes play devil's advocate, which can create misunderstandings with friends, coworkers, and family. ENTPs are ingenious and adept at directing relationships between means and ends. ENTPs "think outside the box," devising fresh, unexpected solutions to difficult problems. However, they are less interested in generating and following through with detailed plans than in generating ideas and possibilities. When ENTPs are used correctly on a team, they offer deep understanding and a high degree of flexibility and problem solving ability. The ENTP regards a comment like "it can't be done" as a personal challenge, and, if properly motivated, will spare no expense to discover a solution.

Probably one of the most fascinating things about ENTPs is their ability to predict future events or how things, especially people, work. They know just the right things to say in a situation. ENTPs have a keen knowledge of what is socially appropriate and inappropriate. They also pay very much detail on the reactions and desires of other people. They can turn the whole world against you, if you are not careful.
An ENTP can usually tell when something, especially a project; Will be successful or a complete failure. They have a unique ability to know what everybody is thinking and what the world wants. Current trends, etc. They form an internal framework about how the world functions.
ENTP’s can go throughout life as a troll and fake their whole reality. They can do this so well that even others especially their own loved ones or followers, are blinded to it. This is what gives an ENTP an advantage on how other people think; What is socially appropriate and what society and the world wants. They can make a deal with their own conscience to pretend to be somebody else their whole lives.
If an ENTP thinks that you are lame or that you suck, it is probably true. They make excellent critics and are very in-tune with what the world is thinking and what works and what doesn’t. An ENTP doesn’t personally believe that >> you suck. << In their eyes, they KNOW you suck. If they think you suck it is a universal fact that all other human beings out there will agree upon and share.

If an ENTP says to you, “that’ll never work” or “how do you expect to do that?” Be warned, because they are usually right.
