All jokes aside, some that aren't the best with all the test questions, seem to do well with this image. I used to use to try to confirm suspicions on type, many moons ago.

Any among us.. not get ENTP?

If not, where did you land?

If not, could you start at ENTP, and work backwards?

Before I get accused for a glaze post, I just wanna mention that it's from what I've seen so far

Now for starters I'm we're all aware that MBTI is basically a cognitive profiler. It's just to assign a person's way of thinking, how that way of thinking can be expressed in different ways but there will similarities here and there.

Now for what I actually wanted to talk about I'm not ashamed to say that I've never met an unattractive ENTP I don't know if this stems from the personality but it's always interesting to see, so I was wondering if this is because of your cognitive style, because I'm well aware that ENTP women are bold (I've been on the recieving end of that) so I wanted to know if this was developed after considering that you're conventionally attractive or something else. To be fair though I've only encountered one type of ENTP women, I've never met the anti social nerdy version but I think it would still stand

Lemme know.

People will meet one person of a certain type that they think is a cool person and suddenly be like “OMGGGG INFJs I LOVE YOU GUYS 😭😭 Y’ALL ARE THE BEST, MY FAVOURITE TYPE EVER!! ❤️❤️” like does anyone else find this cringe or is it just me?? I think it’s pretty stupid to either absolutely love or hate any type honestly.

ENTP’s are supposed to be detached and don’t have a fixed moral compass but when I witness cruelty, especially when it’s done to children, animals, the elderly, and innocent people in general, I just feel terrible. Like, my personal values are very flexible and I’m always questioning everything, but there are still things that I consider objectively and indisputably evil like the things I mentioned above. Could I be a feeling type?

What the hell is this, I'm not an introvert at all unless I'm shut off by choice not out of need, i get that I'm a fair mix of both j and p (as far as my understanding goes of the functions)

But how am i introverted when i genuinely make friends and get to know deep details about people whenever i can, I'm even known for my ability to speak well and being a social butterfly, can someone explain?

It is often claimed that Ne is the most creative function and blah blah... or Ne users are the most creative... At best, Ne generates random thoughts from memories stored in the brain. The vast majority of those thoughts aren't really creative or interesting.. if they were, Ne users, with about 20% of population would have solved every problem that ever existed. creativity is a very eare trait, present in very few people.... what you all think?

I used to consider myself one of those few ENTPs without ADHD, but I was recently diagnosed with it. Now I'm not in the "non-ADHD" club anymore. I'm curious how much your thought process changed between when you were undiagnosed and taking medication and after you were diagnosed and taking medication?

My head is in total chaos right now, (always was, especially lately), so I want to hear some of your motivational stories. I've heard that some ENTPs on medication actually feel like they're INTJ/ENTJ because they feel more organized (either they were mistyped, or because of stereotypes they think that if you're organized, then you're a J-type).

Now I'm trying to study this topic and how I can cope with this damn diagnosis. I finally hope that the uncontrollable chaos in my head will stop and I will be able to formulate thoughts more competently and bring ideas to life.

Something simple! What is your fav animal and colour? Aaaand why?

As an ENTP myself, I’ve been increasingly disturbed by how some people seem to let their emotions override reality, even when the consequences are painfully obvious.

I have a friend who is a single father. His daughter is 19, and she’s in a codependent relationship with a 21-year-old guy.

She deliberately tried to get pregnant because she wanted him to marry her, believing that having a baby together would somehow make them stay together forever.

The problem is the guy doesn’t work and keeps running away from the relationship. Even after they got married, he continued trying to leave. My friend would track him down and persuade him to come back.

Now, the baby has been born.

What bothers me most is that, from the beginning, the baby seemed to be conceived as a way to keep a man from leaving. A human being became a means of securing a relationship with someone who had repeatedly shown that he didn’t want to stay.

And the father of the baby doesn’t seem financially or emotionally prepared for parenthood either. Neither does the mother, from what I can see.

What makes this even more concerning is that my friend seems to share the same pattern of thinking: being driven by emotions, clinging to what he wants to believe, and refusing to accept what reality is telling him.

I keep wondering what happens next.

Who is going to provide for this child? What happens when the romantic fantasy inevitably collides with the daily reality of raising a human being? What happens when neither parent has the emotional maturity or financial stability to take responsibility?

And what happens when the child grows old enough to realize the circumstances in which they were conceived?
I know I’m speculating, and I genuinely hope the baby grows up loved and well cared for. I’m not saying that a child born into a dysfunctional situation is destined to have a bad life.

But I can’t stop thinking about how the consequences of emotionally driven decisions often fall on someone who never had a choice in making them.

So, fellow ENTPs, I’m curious:
Have you ever watched someone repeatedly make decisions based on emotional fantasies rather than reality? How did their lives eventually unfold? Do people like this eventually learn from the consequences, or do they keep doubling down on their delusions? How do you reconcile the fact that you can see a foreseeable disaster coming, while the people involved seem completely unwilling to acknowledge it?

And perhaps most importantly, how do you stop yourself from becoming emotionally invested in the fate of people whose decisions you have absolutely no control over?
I’m not asking for a prediction of this particular family’s future. I’m interested in the broader pattern.

Sometimes I wonder whether being an ENTP makes me particularly sensitive to contradictions between what people want to believe and what reality actually allows.
Have you experienced this? How did it play out?

TL;DR: As an ENTP, I’m struggling to understand people who let emotions override reality. My friend's daughter: A 19-year-old girl deliberately got pregnant to keep her 21-year-old boyfriend from leaving, believing a baby would make them stay together. He’s unemployed and keeps running away, even after they got married. Now the baby is here, and neither parent seems financially or emotionally ready. Her single father (my friend) shares the same pattern of refusing to accept reality.

I genuinely hope the baby will be okay, but I can’t stop wondering: What happens when the consequences of their emotional decisions fall on an innocent child? Do people like this eventually learn, or do they keep doubling down? Have you ever watched something like this unfold?

But the problem of why it took me so long and why I first tried out every other analyst. Mostly intj and intp. Is because of the stereotypes surrounding entps.

Iam not a loud mouthed troll or an asshole and iam not some kind if hedonistic thrill seeker

Situation - I do feel like my ESFJ dad is super affectionate with my younger ESFP sister. I am affectionate towards her too that's not the problem.

The problem is I feel he is not treating us the same. I always feel like I don't deserve attention or affection also when my dad is affectionate with me I feel like he is faking it.

I feel like this too because I always have the things to say that makes him say- listen to me, you are not thinking right.

Always observing this thing makes me overwhelmed and as if I am on the verge of crying.

But what it shows externally as me rebelling against the smallest things. If they say one thing, to piss my family off I would do another.

Turns out then I feel more guilty but still do it.

Wonder what to do in this situation.

what are your thoughts and experiences with romantic relationships between entps and intps? were your friends first? how are the dynamics? i am intp and cannot imagine a relationship with any other than entp i love entps forever, dont encounter them very often though..

i am lady intp

I’m INFP and my husband is ENTP. He agrees that a part of him wants to be a father but he is so analytical he is afraid of everything that could go wrong and he is deeply attached to me and afraid of what I will have to go through physically/mentally. I’ve kind of accepted that you should pursue what you really want in life despite being afraid. We are in couples counseling about this and our therapist thinks he will be an amazing dad but he basically needs to accept that you cannot have complete control in life. Did anyone else go through something similar? What helped you?

Like, genuinely why should people live up to their potential? On that note, is it really that important to be productive? What if I love doing side quests all the time?

Random, absurd, incomplete—

everything about human beings is absurd.

Everything—

every branch of science,

every form of knowledge, perception, or even identity—

is nothing but absurdity.

An absurdity that humans fail to grasp;

pride and arrogance, masking fear, fragility, and incompleteness.

Yet, some people look at what they currently possess—their technology and the experiments they have conducted—

and leap straight to atheism, concluding that they have no need for what is called "God."

They leap to atheism because they have arrived at an explanation—

an explanation whose "shelf life" I often question: how well can it truly withstand the test of time?

I thank God always that I am a Muslim, and that I was raised with an understanding of the term "Allah the Exalted"—or what others might simply call "God."

I learned that the concept of a Creator is not something to be mocked, insulted, or trivialized—as is often done in the random, superficial portrayals found in films and television series.

Such portrayals are merely a reflection of the limited human capacity to comprehend this world.

I was never coerced into respecting other religions; rather, I learned *why* I should respect them—such as Christianity, or indeed any path an individual chooses to follow in their life.

How so? Because of Islam.

The subject of this discussion is not religion itself, but rather the denial of God’s existence—

a stance often taken by those who have either gone astray or who refuse to acknowledge the truth and seek it out.

Why am I bringing this up on a subpage dedicated to the "entp" personality type?

Because this type is, at once, the most susceptible to falling into falsehood, yet—if it evolves—the most capable of achieving profound authenticity and purity.

As for the atheist: what is the reason for your atheism, and how do you perceive the word "faith"? If that term is viewed with a sense of inferiority—or as if it were merely clinging to an illusion—

don’t you think this stems from a devaluation of religion, whether in games, films, or even in the way things are discussed and described?

Ask yourself—look deep within—what fuels that impulse?

Is your line of thought truly your own?

Whether you are an atheist or a believer, share your thoughts in the comments.

Not all ENTPs, but the most influential ones in history. While INTPs have done some very important stuff, all the biggest visionaries have been ENTPs.

It makes me angry to see an ENTP being lazy and unmotivated when they could potentially literally change the world.

And it makes me sad because I feel like I will never be able to make the same impact these influential ENTPs have made in history.

I always considered myself quick witted and can connect dots faster than some of my friends. I also tend to be very random and reference movie quotes that may not be picked up by others, but also make some laugh. These are the people I tend to associate with anyways. Just curious what the sub thinks.

you guys just like to annoy me just to see reaction which i don't mind that much but my proplem is u have no tact about it and annoyingly persistent and have no emotional intelligence.

edit: the biggest problem is they don't even realize it and think they r slick

ps :i only met one entp so i might be little biased so want to confirm is most of u like this or am just unlucky to meet extreme case.

Hi,

over the years I (f, 36) always tested as ENTP. I was quite outgoing and social til my early 30s. I never identified with the debating or nerdy/smart part of this personality. I am an assertive type. When I do tests, I'm often around 53% extroverted. Now I quit drinking 14 months ago and all I wanna do is read and go into the forest. 😅 I don't feel like needing people or big crowds. Yesterday I tested as INTP with 52% introverted, even though I don't think I am. Sometimes I feel a bit more as an ISTP but I do like possibilities and abstract concepts. Still I don't talk all the time and I don't feel the need to discuss my opinion with others.

Are there quite introverted ENTPs?

___

This is going to be veryy long and it is completely subjective.

A while ago I made a Mbti types as Icecream post and this was the next thing on my mind. Just like the Icecream post all this is just going to be my personal opinion and description of the types. So... Take it as a joke.

___

I have created a whole ass system to select these pokemon! >.<

So... here's all my Ti slapped across your face with just the right amount of Ne chaos as a topping.

The selection of these pokemon is based on the system below so even if some other pokemon might have been a better contender. It fits the system and the mbti type so I am satisfied.

(You can skip what comes after this if you don't want to understand how each pokemon was selected and just read the description of the types after that. Wont make much of a difference.)

___

Now, for the system... I have given each cognitive function a specific Pokemon type. Then created a combination of the top two cognitive functions. That means the selection of the pokemon is done by the combination of two Pokemon types based on the top two cognitive functions. For the Analysts, It looks like this:

Introverted Thinking (Ti) : Ghost type

Extroverted Thinking (Te) : Steel type

Introverted Intuition (Ni) : Psychic type

Extroverted Intuition (Ne) : Fire type

INTJ (Ni + Te) = Psychic + Steel type Pokemon

ENTJ (Te + Ni) = Steel + Psychic type Pokemon (Same thing basically)

INTP (Ti + Ne) = Ghost + Fire type Pokemon

ENTP (Ne + Ti) = Fire + Ghost type Pokemon

Thats the system. Now I will explain why I have given these Cognitive functions these specific types:

Ti ( Ghost type) : In the pokemon world, ghost type pokemon are the ones that technically don't completely belong to the human realm and have connections to the ghost realm. They are natural and a part of the world naturally but they are still otherworldly. I think that this portrays the nature of Introverted Thinking very well because it always seems something otherworldly and detached from the reality when it is put to use. Atleast...It seems like that from the outside. Though, from the inside it isn't complete abstract thought with no connections to reality but rather the sort of connections that are ghost like and hard to put into words even if Ti users know that it is related to reality, more times than not, it fails to bring the ghosts into real world. Only they can see these ghosts which do exist but others can't see them so they are hard to prove and the existence of these ghosts is dismissed. (TwT believe in us please ! They exist !)

Te ( Steel type) : Contrary to the ghost types...Steel, on the other hand is concrete and tangible. It is something that is grounded in reality and is more harder than the abstraction of ghost types. Just like Extroverted Thinking.It is a type of thinking that takes the pure abstract and hardens it to reality by different methods. I also think a metal is something that can melt and is malleable so this logic of theirs is flexible and not fixed like Ti. Here "fixed" means dependent on the underlying mechanism through which truth is seen. Not unchangeable. For Te, "not fixed" means that it is not dependent on some underlying mechanism or reasoning of things but the output of it that keeps changing. So they are able to see the output, understand it and re use those results.

Ni (Psychic type) : Psychic pokemon are able to see and manipulate things that are generally not visible to anyone else. That is why trying to find a counter against them is harder because you don't know the abstract mechanism through which they are drawing their power from :0 (You guys are scary) This ability to have a source that is not easily visible makes Introverted Intuition seem Psychic from the outside. On the inside, Ni is actually able to instinctively understand how things work based on past and present data so they use this ability quicker than most. Though, Using it ≠ Understanding it. Kind of like the difference between Sorcerers and Wizards in D&D. Ni users fall into Sorcerers category and Psychic pokemon work the same way. (Atleast..I think cause I haven't seen pokemon with books, trying to learn about their powers.) Sorcerers have innate understanding with no reasoning and Wizards have Reasoning first and then innate understanding.

Ne ( Fire type) : Fire is something that keeps growing the more you feed it. Though in Fire pokemon it doesn't end when you don't feed it. It is part of their nature to have fire. It goes away only when you or something else deliberately puts it out. That is the same as Extroverted Intuition. It keeps burning and spreading, seeking more from its surroundings. At the same time whenever fire spreads, it leaves nothing behind. This is the same as when Ne seeks something new, it usually forgets about the thing that it was seeking in the past and it is as good as destroyed. This is because Extroverted Intuition thrives in spontaneous situations. It can learn concepts quickly in the moment but when they sit with it and have to dig deeper than the surface level of what they got...yeah lets just say it's not a good feeling.It is a slower process and it makes the Fire restless because Fire just wants to spread and not sit in one place for too long.

Now, I will begin with MBTI TYPES AS POKEMON | PART 1 - THE ANALYSTS

___

INTJ ( PSYCHIC STEEL TYPE) - SOLGALEO AND NEKROZMA

This is the only type that I will be giving two pokemon to.

The lore between these two fit INTJ so well that I had to take these two as one. These two pokemon signify two different parts of INTJ that are simultaneous.

Solagaleo is a sun lion pokemon. It is said to live in outer space and it can create wormholes to travel in space. It has a light that can make the night look like afternoon. In ancient times, it was called "The beast that devours the sun".This is the pokemon which is on the left side of the picture above.

Necrozma is a humanoid form made with crystalline black material all over its body that has a prism like shape. This prism is called the brain prism and plays the role of this being's brain. It can also travel space the same way as Solagaleo. In its original form it is sustained through light and it shines which is shown in the picture above, on the right. Though...In the pokemon lore it loses its original form. Its light was taken away by a group and it stays in a state of agonizing pain and starvation of light because of its incomplete all black form. It doesn't act cruelly out of malice but out of starvation. It seeks light energy from every being that can offer it and steals it away for itself.

Now the role of Solagaleo and Necrozma as one comes. Solagaleo was the one that Necrozma seeked and hunted because it wanted Solagaleo's light. Taking away Solagaleo's energy would sustain Necrozma completely and will regain its original form. They are in a constant loop of Necrozma trying to consume Solagaleo and Solagaleo evading him. They are both Legendary Pokemon and powerful beings stuck on this chase and evasion.

Eventually, Necrozma was able to take over Solagaleo and that form was called "Dusk Mane Necrozma". This fusion of Solagaleo and Necrozma is something that fits the INTJ type according to me. In the end, Solagaleo was able to separate itself from Necrozma and was able to save Necrozma by giving it enough light and bringing it back to its original form.

Though this...This isn't always the case when it comes to humans and INTJ's though. In all these events I think INTJ fall somewhere in all these states or at least one. In either a starved state or evasion state or fusion state which suppresses the light to satiate the starvation.

Solagaleo here signifies their Ni goal. They have this image of light in their mind. Necrozma is the process of reaching that goal which is filled with starvation because for INTJ "the process is not as important as the goal". Solagaleo evading Necrozma is when intrusions disturb the process and keep you from reaching the goal. When you actually reach Solagaleo and achieve the goal. You actually find out that even though the starvation is gone and the goal is fulfilled. It is not what you actually wanted and the image of Solagaleo's light is being suppressed. It is not met properly because INTJs were focused on the starvation of the light being out of reach rather than the light itself. So after reaching the light, they find out it was all for the starvation and not about the light and that ruins the experience of obtaining light for them. It leaves an empty state of not being starved because you have the light but at the same time, the light not feeling like it was what they wanted. So to feel satisfied, the light they really wanted is suppressed and an attempt is made to be satisfied with the effort and the end goal. (They are not satisfied :/ )

The part where these two beings are able to travel in space is the cognitive headspace where ALL THIS happens. The light,the starvation, the evasion,etc. It is space though...so it is detached and you cannot see that all that is happening.

The solution to this is the wormholes that these pokemon can create to reach different places. INTJs have their own wormholes. Wormhole is when the INTJ have their end of the wormhole and there is a similar opening on the other end. The travel part is their decision. I don't think INTJ work when the other end of the wormhole is not there in whoever or wherever they are trying to reach. That just means you take the decision of stepping into the wormhole but then get lost inside it because the other end is not present. Unlike...some Fe types that are able to reach the other end and get through to a person in through god knows what way.

Name origin

Necrozma may be a combination of νεκρός nekrós (Ancient Greek for "dead"), 黒 kuro (Japanese for "black"), and πρῖσμα prîsma (Ancient Greek for "prism") or plasma, a state of matter commonly found in stars.

Solgaleo may be a combination of sol (Latin for "sun") and leo (Latin for "lion"). It may also incorporate Galileo, an Italian astronomer who presented evidence that the Earth rotated around the Sun.

Game dialogues of this pokemon that fit INTJ:

"La-liona!"

"Gyaooooh!"

- Solagaleo

(Uh...yes)

"Ultra Necrozma pours all of its gathered light into a giant, burning star!

Ultra Necrozma used Light That Burns the Sky!

The catastrophic explosion leaves absolutely nowhere to hide!"

"A terrifying rift rips open the sky above the Altar of the Sunne!

A pitch-black entity lunges from the Ultra Wormhole, trapping the beast in its jagged claws!

Solgaleo is thrashing wildly, trying to break free from Necrozma's grip!"

Dusk Mane Necrozma attacks in the INTJ Inventory:

Future sight: That one thing shifted now and now you you know the other thing will shift in the future.

Effect? You are now prepared.

Drawbacks? You are told preperation isn't necessary because nothing shifted now and the other thing is not connected to now.

Endure : Everything is chaos right now but...it is leading towards your plan so you are secure.

Effect? The tension is bearable now.

Drawbacks? One disruption may break endurance and you'll have to get to work again.

___

ENTJ ( METAL PSYCHIC TYPE) - METAGROSS

When I got the idea of this pokemon post, I was asked by a ISTJ that they wanted to be a metagross but... TwT it just fits ENTJ so much better. (So, to that one ISTJ who wanted to be Metagross, I will give you a better steel type)

Metagross might have the most interesting biology ever. It is a mechanical robotic being with four arms and it floats in the air. The way it is formed is an evolutionary process in which at first,it is a small Beldum. When two Beldum merge together they form a bigger Metang. When two Metang merge together, they form Metagross. But this isnt all, Metagross is actually a being with the processing power of four beldums or two metangs in one. So it is like a single being has the processing power of four small brains or two medium brains. This pokemon is said to be "smarter than a super computer" Now...I am not glazing (I am) but ENTJ are similar in design.

They lead with Te so their brain is required to process so many things at once because the use of Te is computer like and Systematic. That equates to having four small Beldum brains or two medium Metang brains inside one. Not in intelligence but in sheer processing power. They are able to multitask well because of this ability.

The NTJs have a similar philosophy. "The goal is better than the process" For INTJ its about their ideal goal but for ENTJ? It's victory. It can be victory in efficiency or Victory in resting even. Could be anything but they have a tunnel vision about achieving exactly what they want. INTJ's may loose sight of what they really want but for ENTJ's its the opposite. They are too focused on the end goal and victory part that they forget their current state. What you want currently,not what you want in the future.

Metagross is this battle fixated pokemon that has a tunnel vision towards winning. It is a canon fact that...um...when victory doesnt come and its out of reach...A metagross self destroys and explodes itself just near the opponent just to win the pokemon battle.

Name origin

Metagross may be a combination of metal and cross (referring to its facial feature), gross (referring to its weight of 1212 lbs., as a gross is 12×12), or groß (German for "large").

Game dialogues of this pokemon that fit ENTJ:

"Why is there a big X in the middle of my face?"

"I swear by the X on my face, I won't give up!"

"Mega Evolution has stimulated its brains to an extreme degree.

The logic governing Mega Metagross has become entirely ruthless. If victory cannot be won, it will seize the opponent and trigger an explosion to destroy them both."

Metagross attacks in the ENTJ Inventory:

Scary face : Look down at a person as if you are about to skin them alive and kill their whole family when they intrude on something you were doing.

Effect? 100 percent Intimidation.

Drawbacks? They now find you scary and don't get near you even though it was their fault (is it a drawback though?)

Confusion : You started talking about your feelings and now both you and the other person are awkwardly staring at each other.

Effect? They stopped asking about it.

Drawbacks? They stopped asking about it.

___

INTP ( GHOST FIRE TYPE) - HISUIAN TYPHLOSION

(I am a INTP myself so I may be a little different in my idea of INTPs here)

Hisuian Typhlosion is a different version of the Normal Typhlosion. The normal one is filled with aggressive fire and energy but the Hisui region Typhlosion is the calmer version of that. The passion is still there but it is expressed in a different way.

The Magenta red radiating from it in its appearance is influenced by a mountain found in that region called "Mount Coronet". These flames form a collar around it's neck.

It is often seen staring into space but it is actually trying to find lost souls and looking into the ghost realm to lead it and correct its course. It is usually seen as detached from human matters and is one of the only few Ghost type Pokemon that don't prey on humans. It is detached from humans but is more empathetic and focused towards souls and ghosts.

When the Pokemon is angered the collar which has comfortable flames emit 108 ghost flames that it uses to attack its opponents. These flames that are usually used to guide can also be used for attack.It is based on Mujina which has similar abilities to a Tanuki which can shapeshift.

I think that this pokemon fits INTPs because it is a very...head in the clouds type of pokemon. Even though it does have the Fire of a Normal Typhlosion inside it. That is not what this variation of it shows outside. Its demeanor is calmer outside despite the fire inside.

The way it leads spirits here doesn't have to mean help to other beings but it is simply correcting what is supposed to be corrected for the sake of the correction. INTPs are like this. They wont guide lost souls because it is supposed to be kind but simply because they have the ability to do so and it's right in front of them and they can't help it.

Another thing that fits is that detachment towards humans. Humans here signify not humans themselves but the things that someone should feel connected towards. Many INTP are not connected towards those things that they should be connected with but something otherworldly. It can be anything like MBTI theory itself which is not real science or something else like Fiction or anything really.

The same as this Hisuian Typhlosion which doesn't behave like other ghost types who interact with the real world but it interacts with the ghost realm instead.

Name origin

Typhlosion may be a combination of typhoon and explosion. It could also derive from Typhon, a monster in Greek mythology who was said to be buried under the volcano Mount Etna after his defeat and who also had a mate named Echidna; or Eulipotyphla, a mammalian order containing shrews, hedgehogs, moles, and solenodons.

Game dialogues of this Pokemon that fit INTP:

"Typhlosion is rubbing up against you with its hot body!" (Ahem...)

"Go! Hisuian Typhlosion!

Hisuian Typhlosion gazes blankly at the battlefield, surrounded by a faint purple mist...

It lets out a soft, echoing wail into the empty air."

"Hisuian Typhlosion has fallen fast asleep on the grass.

Tiny, spectral sparks drift lazily from its closed collar as it breathes.

You wake up Hisuian Typhlosion to wash it, and it looks at you with calm, gentle eyes."

Hisuian Typhlosion attacks in the INTP Inventory:

Defence curl : You are curled up in your bed after a long day.

Effect? You forget all the threats and lose yourself to a new thought experiment.

Drawbacks? You forget the important threats too.

Confuse ray : You start to explain your opinion about something or a new thing you learned about and get glazed over looks.

Effect? You now know when to stop talking about something

Drawbacks? You never talk about that something.

ENTP ( FIRE GHOST TYPE) - BLACEPHALON

This Pokemon is perfect for Entp !! Fits so wellll (ajhhhhhrnenekwkak) Especially the character design

So...Blacephalon is a straight up alien from another world. So that tracks with ENTP.

Jokes aside, No it actually does fit ENTPs quite well.

As the picture shows, it is a very colourful humanoid pokemon with a ball for its head and performers clothes. It is a performer and draws people towards it with its dance and tricks.

Then when you least expect it to, it slithers towards you and takes off its ball which is also it's head. Then blasts its head!

It does this because it is a predatory pokemon that finds fun in surprising others and uses this explosion of balls to damage its opponents.

In the episode that it appeared it had an ongoing rivalry with another alien pokemon Xurkitree(probably Estp or Enfp). They were competing to see who shines the brightest and who captures the most attention of the audience. They competed till the power of that place ran out and the characters had to stop them forcefully.

It was a very small apperance and then both pokemon were sent back home to their alien planet.

This fits ENTP. Not because of the performer stereotype. Here performance can signify anything. It is their Ne wanting a show for their ideas and wanting them to work out in real time. They are relentless about this just like how Blacephalon didn't give up on the competition and kept going without understanding any limits. The ability of Blacephalon to detach it's head and blow it is the same as a ENTPs ability of being able to switch off their brain when it is not needed and focus on the present idea. It shows a sort of control of their thoughts and mind when something catches their attention.

This pokemon was made after a Evil clown and I think that is how ENTPs are viewed on the outside. It's not truth offcourse but it fits their aesthetic.

Plus its gay

The ball blowing ability is how ENTPs are able to genuinely baffle your head when you least expect it from them. You think that they haven't been paying attention but then they catch you off guard with a sudden new idea that is actually well thought out and works. Just like how Blacephalon surprises the audience members with the explosions.

Name origin

Blacephalon may be a combination of blast and encephalon (meaning "the brain"). The name recalls the adjective "acephalous", meaning "having no head".

Zugadoon can be taken literally as 頭がドーン zu ga dōn ("head goes boom").

Game dialogues of this pokemon that fit ENTP:

"Blacephalon is staring blankly into space...

You try to pet Blacephalon, but it tilts its head completely upside down!

It took damage from its own explosion!"

Drawbacks? They are pretending not to be.

Edit: You know what, never mind. My crazy midnight idea that I want to throw away now. Keeping the post because I like the comments.

Hi guys, do id appreciate your insight on this cause its bugging me lmao. So i met this girl online and we have been talking every day since june, texting, sending image replys in chat on ig and so on. I think shes one of the only people i got so close to in such a short amount of time. Its like we clicked instantly. She loved sharing what was going on in her life and genuenly seemed interested in mine too. We talked like this for 7 hours a day whenever we were traveling or so we were texting sharing reels and so on. She new me better on an emotional level than my friends back home. Four days ago i would say, she replied to my photo that i sent and also to my texts and that was it. When i woke up i saw tht she didnt send a photo back but engaged normally otherwise. I replied to her and than silence. 24h nothing although she was posting ig stories that whole time. I texted her the next day like hey whats up, u alive? And she js wrote yes. Later i asked if shes good and she replied and also asked why im wandering that and i was like idk youre distant and she tells me im not people js anoy me recently. And the part of this that i dont understand is why people do this. We played leage the night before that, joked arround it was all good and normal. It could be that i got to attached cause i did genuenly like her and she was sending positive signals back but still i dont understand how you can he that close to someone, tell them everything, youre whole life story basically hahahaha, text every day for so long and that that just ment nothing?

Everything is business

Everyone is in it for themselves

"What do you add to my life?"

"What can you do for me?"

"Whats in it for me?"

Etc

how hard does your Ne and Ti go? do you let them loose? do you encourage yourself to use Fe? Si? how so? when do you prioritize your ideas over the person you're talking to? when do you prioritize the person you're talking to over your ideas? do you know how to find the balance? how so? how do you try to understand the person you're talking to? have you ever accidentally inserted your own ideas into what you think the other person believes? do you ever feel like you always have to suppress yourself because you're "not digestible" to people? has this worn you down over time? how quickly do your emotions change? how much do you care about the emotions of the person you're dealing with?

a lot of questions, i'm aware. the more information i get though, the better. i thank you in advance if you do choose to respond. i know different flavors of these questions have already been asked before, but why not see if anyone has any updates or any new people have different perspectives
