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.

___

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 seems to be happily juggling sparks in your direction."

"Blacephalon used Mind Blown!

Blacephalon's head exploded into a shower of sparks!

It took damage from its own explosion!"

Blacephalon attacks in the ENTP Inventory:

Mind blown: You just saw something interesting and unexpected. You are curious and want it in your head!

Effect? Brain satisfied.

Drawbacks? You forgot to eat and didn't get any sleep.

Swagger: You just did something cool and now you are showing off.

Effect? Everyone is charmed.

Drawbacks? They are pretending not to be.

What: I am looking to see if I could find someone similar in age (I am a senior in university) to exchange a somewhat steady stream of thought-provoking content,

• random pieces of information such as a flower you found
• interesting thought you had on a conversation you overheard on the street
• random interaction you had with a dog, an observation at an traffic intersection
• thought process on a problem you’re trying to figure out
• strange realization and patterns you witness in everyday life
• workout routine and something you accomplished at the gym today
• a trail you particularly like to hike, a recent camping trip
• new satellite launching you have been following, a fact about a car model
• food you recently tried, a specific dining light at a restaurant
• whatever you are into, but it should be present and somewhat optimistic. Optimistic is very subjective to define, if anyone is interested we can work it out. It's very counterintuitive to post this online but I am not sure where else to look, I am looking for someone who is very present in life.

Why:
I would like some grounding thoughts from a continuous entity to occupy my mind, and find someone who might become a special part of life. Journaling alone, I give up quickly. I have done a version several years and going with two penpals (both girls, so I am mainly searching for a guy to get new perspectives), but in the exact opposite way (long, thoughtful, once every two weeks). I imagine someone willing to ping pong random thoughts in the background who won’t expect a response, and vice versa could be very wholesome.

Here is what I imagine:
As many or as little messages at any time of the day. Not a conversation, and instead is like leaving letters in a mail without a specific you or me. "Good morning" is not a greeting to respond to, "did you see the sky today" does not call for a yes or no.
+ We are attentive, but busy audience for each other. We think and consider each others thoughts without ever responding directly. Days of silence is warm and welcome, a sudden long letter as well.
+ We gain potentially interesting shared thoughts or perspectives, and a place to output random things, to someone who will form a continuous identity quietly through time.

If you are interested:
I don't use reddit and mainly use dc. It helps if you could give a very brief introduction so we feel somewhat safe with each other, I will send you one as well. I think in English and Chinese, so you can also tell me your languages if you can read both.

Thank you kind souls for reading this far and hope you have a pleasant day/night.

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?

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

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

To see peoples Introverted Intuition

I did the test today and this is the result I don't know what this means or what happened

Fun fact: poking at an ENTP’s Fe can get them out of their Se demon if done correctly.

This literally just happened to me lmao. It might have something to do with Fi blindness. I'm curious how you guys interpret this situation.

Art by me

Edited: on second thought, I think this is more accurate for enneagram 7 than just an ENTP thing🤔 I am an E7 myself so I might need new perspectives on this

ESTP here. Been dating an ENTP for four weeks now and I’m cooked. I love this woman. She’s smart, funny, and I never feel like I have to force a conversation with her. Which is great, except now I’ve realised I actually care about keeping her around and I don’t want to fuck this up 💀💀💀💀

So, ENTP ladies, what do you want your man to do for you and what actually keeps you engaged in a relationship? Intellectual stimulation? Adventures? Spontaneous weekend getaways? Cash? Should I take her to the Barbados this weekend? I haven’t booked anything yet 😂I’m not particularly interested in political or intellectual debates which I think y’all love. I don’t want to lose her to some INTJ 😂

Help a brother out please and give me the inside information.

Curious what qualities you guys value most in other people.

I know this is such a comically common ENTP (and Ne dom in general) issue, but it’s like there’s a missing piece in my creative process. I really WANT to make a larger novel or comic. I know I could write a cool ass story and have so much to say in a longer format, but it feels nearly impossible. I can write short stories, create 4 panel comics, etc. I know I’m objectively good at drawing and also have good writing skills. I also have an endless stream of ideas. My notes app is filled with ideas for characters, worlds, story intro, dynamics, etc. but the second I think “okay I’m going to make this into a larger project and commit to it” the idea just dies somewhere in the process.

It’s like my art is on a timer and if I don’t finish something in a day or two, or it’s just super low pressure (like how I play 5-30 mins of guitar everyday but I don’t force myself to do it), then it just won’t happen.

Like looking at a table filled with all these cool puzzle pieces that came from my mind but I have to put them all together with only my tongue. Making all the individual pieces is so fun and easy for me but tapping into that Si and committing to something cohesive is impossible.

Any practical advice??

Hello. Let’s get straight to the point. I’m an ENTP 7w8, and I just can’t seem to pin down my instinctual subtype. I’m 100% certain that I’m "sx-blind," but I can’t figure out whether I’m sp/so or so/sp. I realize these are quite opposite, but I’m genuinely stuck. I’ve read excerpts from Naranjo’s book, done research online, watched videos—and still nothing. I’m the person in my circle who knows the most about this topic, and even I can’t help myself!

A bit of background: For the last year or two, I’ve carried first-aid supplies with me—just in case something happens to me or someone else—and I avoid anything that feels life-threatening or going to dangerous places. If I lose any of my personal belongings, I panic and remain extremely restless until I find them. When it comes to relationships, my first thought is how much the other person might contribute to my goals or personal development, and whether I’ll contribute to theirs in return (Because, ultimately, injustice has a way of coming back to strike you; causing others to suffer leads to a guilty conscience, and that makes me feel like a failure.)

But at the same time:

Ever since I was a child, I’ve been obsessed with social issues, animal rights, and groups that suffer unjustly. Sometimes I even wonder if my pangs of conscience are genuine, or if I’m just lying to myself. In middle school, I was very individualistic, while in high school, I developed a strong (though still rational) attachment to my country. I remain obsessed with these grand, overarching goals. I put a lot of effort into maintaining good relationships with people, but if things get too dangerous, I feel like I could just walk away from the group. I don’t know. It’s awful. 😑

Out of my own curiosity and because I want to hear other people’s opinion, what do you guys think of an entp only world? Me personally if there were ever a chance for something like that to be possible, I think I’d go for it immediately. Is it a big egotistical maybe… which is why I want other entp opinions. I just can’t see any injustices and it’ll be such an efficiently run society! Holy ego but it’s not, anyways either berate me and tell me I’m wrong or agree :)

Okay, today I wanna talk about how shitty it can be to be ENTP. My whole life I've never been good at the formal-communication game. I've always found my people - the ones I click with on a personal level, and steered clear of anyone who had a problem with who I am. Honestly, my social circle is solid. But the formal/professional side of things... it's a total shitshow. Let me explain: no, I'm not autistic, yes, I get why people act the way they do at work; I don't get too chummy with coworkers and I don't start drama. But I'm also not about to kiss ass, step on heads, or rat people out behind their backs for personal gain. And I ended up in a situation where I let a clash with a colleague slide (it seemed like small potatoes to me - a misunderstanding plus her trying to be rude to me), and I got fired because she didn't let it slide! She went over our team lead's head and snitched to upper management. The official explanation was: "you don't fit the team, too many ambitions, you take on too much responsibility (what the fuck? great reason to fire someone)." I'm 80% sure she was threatened by the competition, because technically everyone was more than happy with my work, I had a ton of ideas for optimization and just generally a lot of initiative when it came to improving our processes.
So now I'm unemployed because I can't play the backroom games and pretend to be god knows what.
But that's not even what pissed me off, honestly, I mostly just laughed at the situation. If a company is willing to cut loose an employee who does great work and gets along with literally everyone on the team except one person who, surprise surprise, does the same job but worse - fuck that company. (Oh, yes, they don't even tried to get to the bottom of the situation and hear both sides out. Clearly, the colleague had connections to the higher-ups)
What pissed me off was my partner accusing me of being intolerant and incapable of mindless submission, of "undermining hierarchy and the system." I don't undermine either of those things, by the way, I just lose my shit when people use them to cover up workplace dysfunction and a plain old desire to have power over someone.

I know 90% of ENTPs never find acceptance in this world, but I can't prove it.

My ex (40M) is ENTP (but once also tested ENFP) and I (32F) INFP, dated for eight months.

We were exclusive, talked about children and moving in together, and he called ours the healthiest relationship of his life. So naturally, I thought we were building something serious.

Then things unraveled in our final month.

Two months into dating, he told me he’d attended a gallery opening with Catherine, a woman he’d briefly slept with before me. She’d cried and confessed her feelings after learning about our relationship. He clarified they were just friends, and eventually they resumed their friendship. I trusted him.

Fast-forward to month seven: Catherine invited him to a small, multi-day art residency that August. He casually announced he was going, without asking how I felt.

After sitting with my discomfort for weeks, I finally brought it up. Could we find some middle ground? Maybe all hang out together, or I could join them?
He grew defensive, saying he didn’t believe in prioritizing romantic partners over other relationships, and complained that our 20-minute conversation was eating into his workday. He later apologized.

\*\*The very next night\*\*, he went to a performance with Catherine without telling me beforehand. It was our second-to-last night together before three weeks apart.

I discovered this when I called him and sent admittedly reactive texts saying I was hurt and couldn’t believe him. His response? “Why? But honestly, don’t feel like going on defensive right now.”

Other incidents had been accumulating:

\*\*1.\*\* After an emotional conversation about his doubts around long-term monogamy, I took an extra 30-minute walk while fetching drinks for his project. I returned before anyone arrived, but he was furious, accusing me of “sabotaging” his work. He never asked whether I was okay.

\*\*2.:\*\* I biked slower than him, causing us to arrive ONE MINUTE late to class. We were turned away, and he blamed me for interfering with his productivity, sulking for much of the afternoon.

He’s fiercely independent and values autonomy. I believe he was sexually faithful, and I never asked him to abandon his friendships with exes. But I also know my anxiety sometimes made me jealous and reactive.
He eventually ended things, citing my anxiety, “possessive energy” around other women, and long-term incompatibility.

For context, he was never physically or intentionally verbally abusive. But defensiveness, passive aggression, and emotional shutdowns were recurring patterns.

For months, I’ve wondered whether a more securely attached woman would’ve handled everything differently. Whether I essentially sabotaged an otherwise good relationship.

But now I’m questioning whether my anxiety was really so disproportionate to the circumstances.

I’m an ENTP, I have one sibling, my younger brother, he is an ENFP. And I’ve recently found myself in the most ridiculous family drama I’ve ever been involved in.

He was engaged. Wedding preparations were underway. Then his fiancée decided to postpone the wedding after choosing her ex-boyfriend.

Yes. Her ex.

For a long time, I’ve been listening to my brother complain about this woman. And when I say complain, I mean a whole collection of stories about how much he did for her.
Driving her to her graduation. Picking her up. Taking her parents places. Waiting from early morning until late at night. Apparently, there was even an occasion when he waited all day without being offered food. 😂 (I honestly kinda enjoy seeing him suffer tho)

Meanwhile, he kept insisting that she was a good person.
Okay. Interesting definition of a good relationship, but go on.

I listened. I let him vent. I didn’t immediately tell him what to do because, well, he’s an adult. If he wants to invest his time and energy into a relationship, that’s his decision.

But then the wedding situation happened, and I decided to tell our parents what had been going on.

And suddenly, guess who’s the problem?

Me.

Not the relationship drama. Not the decision to postpone the wedding after choosing an ex. Not the fact that our family was preparing for a wedding while all of this was happening.

Me. The person who reported the plot twist.

Apparently, I was supposed to listen to all the complaints, collect the information like a private investigator, and then take it to my grave.

Here’s what fascinates me about this situation: people will tell you everything that’s wrong with their lives, but the moment you do something about the information they’ve voluntarily given you, you’re suddenly a terrible person.

So let me get this straight.

You tell me the relationship is making you miserable. I listen. You tell me what she’s done. I listen. A major decision involving marriage blows up, and I tell our parents because I think they should know what’s happening.

Now I’m the traitor?

What exactly was the expected outcome here? Was I supposed to sit quietly, watch the wedding preparations continue, and pretend I knew absolutely nothing?

IAnd for the record, I didn’t make her choose her ex. I didn’t make her postpone the wedding. I didn’t manufacture these events for entertainment. I merely informed the relevant stakeholders that the project had encountered some rather signification.

I understand that my brother might be hurt, embarrassed, or angry. Fine. Feel whatever you need to feel. I’m not expecting him to be happy about the situation.

But I do find it fascinating that the anger has landed on me, the messenger, rather than on the circumstances that created this mess.

Maybe I should have asked his permission before telling our parents. That’s a fair argument, and I’m willing to examine it.

But I’m not going to pretend the underlying situation was perfectly fine just because the truth was inconvenient.

My question for other ENTPs:
Do you ever get tired of being treated like the villain simply because you’re willing to say out loud what everyone else would rather leave unspoken? And for those with ENFP siblings, is this a common conflict between different approaches to emotional situations, or is my brother simply upset that I refused to participate in keeping up appearances?

Because honestly, I’m open to criticism. I’m just not interested in accepting responsibility for a story I didn’t write, a decision I didn’t make, and a relationship I wasn’t even in. Like I may have delivered the news. But I didn’t create the news.

TL;DR: My ENFP younger brother’s fiancée chose her ex and postponed their wedding after he spent so much time and effort on her. After listening to him complain about their relationship for ages, I told our parents what was going on. Now he’s blaming me for exposing the situation. I know I might have crossed a boundary, but honestly? I’m kinda enjoying watching him suffer the consequences of his own choices. Am I the asshole? 💀

My bathrooms are so deadly for me in the winter. The tile floors radiate a subtle cold, enough that you can detect it's there from the get-go, but it seems innocent. Invariably if I bring any sort of reading in with me, I'll be flopping out, having lost all circulation in my lower limbs.

The solution is obviously not to bring any reading with me but why should throne time interrupt whatever I was just on about?

So here's me, flopping out for the 7th time this winter and winter hasn't started yet.

Ah fuck, and I burned my water again...

does anyone have tips on making a long distance relationship work of two people with this personality type above^? Me being the F and there is a 4 year age gap if that matters, and we are both the eldest son/daughter. if you have any other questions to be able to better advise me, feel free to ask!

Uhhhhh...

Well my body must contain atleast 30 characters

It’s crazy how r/entp has only 2 rules compared to another sub like r/esfj. It’s actually funny how different subs for different personalities are actually like that personality. I personally like the r/intp sub the most because of their flairs and stuff.

Pachelbel's cannon in D.

I have a 4689 profile on MMPI and I wonder what you guys have. Seems like at least one of the 4, 8 and 9 scales should be high for you to be ENTP. Also low 0, 2 and 7 scales I suppose.

Hellos fellow entps . Basically this year I was supposed to go to university. I got into all of the top universities in my country. But I missed my board pratical, and got a supply (basically the admission of my dream university got wasted ). I hate myself so much for it . Im just always in my head . I think so much . I can't be in the present . My sense of direction is high-key cooked and I can't memorize directions for the life of me . I'm a disorganized mess . I work hard and I'm of okish intelligence. That's how I got admission in the top universities here (they have an acceptance rate of 1.5%). But I messed it up lol . Now I have to give the test again and the sllyabus has changed. So much of my hardwork got wasted. It pains me. It has been 2 months but still it's such a bad set back . I never wanted to take a gap year . I feel like I'm going insane 😭.

To all the older entps . How did u grow and how do y'all avoid making such silly mistakes which have heavy cost .how do y'all cope with failure? I'm already clumsy . But this has wrecked me to my core. I have become even more careless. This has been such a hard year . I worked Soo incredibly hard, didn't go out to any trips and didn't enjoy any college event . I see people around me they don't do such clumsy stuff and ruin their lives like that . They achieve their goals . I know I come from a family which really lacks structure . My mom has schizoeffective disorder (she is wayyy better btw) but I wasn't raised properly . I learned loads of things by myself. Now I'm dealing with this setback . I just feel like a failure . I don't have the courage to study the material for the entry test again . It has traumatized me . I can't even handle these situations properly because I'm clumsy and lack order myself . I'm 19 btw.

Any ways any older entp advice will be appreciated and guys please be kind and sorry for the not so good English . Atleast y'all know it's not ai lol
