7/30/2019 ENTP Profile From MBTI Intro Workbook
1/1
MBTI Introduction
OKA 2004
I For the ENTP the public world is an exciting one
(Extraversion). If things arent exciting, the ENTP
will likely want to go out there and make it so,
because the external world is full of endless
possibilities, random abstractions, and theoretical
connections (iNtuition). These perceptions are
filtered through objective, impersonal decisions
(Thinking), none of which is terribly binding
because each day brings new options, open-
endedness, and spontaneity (Perception). Hence,
while ENTPs can be exciting, they may not be
terribly committed to a schedule or project if a
better deal or more exciting challenge comes along.
Learning and Communication Style
I Likes theory and ideas and using these to
conceptualize competent, logical solutions and
innovations.
I Valued communication will tend to be intellectually
insightful, objective, conceptual and
straightforward.
I Important dynamics are external, observable and
often articulatedtalking out ideas, problems and
solutions is energizingeven exciting.
I Prefers engaging with others to working alone.
I Generally enjoys talking, connecting andconceptualizing more than actually doing or
applying learning in a practical way.
Problem Solving and Stress
I Wide open, inventive and adaptable, this type
frequently drives change and questions any current
solution or practice, including those that it itself
proposes or enacts. Driven to see and talk about
future, connections, patterns and possibilities, this
type readily engages in solving problems, but may
have to work to ensure that it finishes what it starts
and does more than simply talk a good game.I Isolation, incompetence (if only the fantasy of their
own incompetence) and/or a need for details,
specifics and reflection bring stress and self-doubt
to this type.
Values
I This is a highly conceptual type, prizing individual
contribution, complex thought and insight. This
type may often seem to be operating on a separate,
independent trackpushing for improvement,
clarity and ever-sharper standards of competency
and achievement.
I Sensitive to incompetence, this type will likely be
competitive and demanding, driving itself and
others toward change and improvement
sometimes at the cost of interpersonal harmony or
group unity.
I This type tends to be authority independent
questioning, and even doubting, the authority of
hierarchical structures, titles, procedures,
traditions and the will of the group.
Workplace Contribution:
I Regards the workplace as a system to be moved,
challenged and configured so that learning is
constant and worthwhile tasks are accomplished.
Leadership Qualities:
I Empowers themselves and others by challenging,
confrontingeven taking opposing points of viewto enhance each individuals contribution in
support of the end result.
Team Spirit:
I Teams are one more important vehicle for
learningan arena for testing ideas, discussing
differences and collaborating for results.
ENTP - Progress is the Product
Pathway to Professional Growth:
ENTPs must learn to focus energy on follow-throughand completioneven with those things deemed
boringand remember that wide mood swings can
send mixed signals.
