ENTP

A few days ago, my roommates and I were talking about the Meyer-Briggs test. I've noticed there's something about Mormons and well, humans. We like to categorize ourselves in little compartments.

"Are you yellow?" "I'm Blue." And then we proceed to talk 15 minutes about the different "color categories." (example of the color personality test that has been popular in Utah for the past 10-15 years-and I'm not blue, I'm a white-yellow).

For example, two of my roommates and myself sat for 30 minutes talking about the different types playing pop-pyschologist and trying to self-analyze eachother (okay chicas (and guys) like to analyze lots of different things).

Work has been slow, so the next day I took the test again and came up with ENTP: At first i was like, "Extroverted wth?" But then I read it, and realized yeah that could be a description of me, warts and all.....

"Clever" is the word that perhaps describes ENTPs best. The professor who juggles half a dozen ideas for research papers and grant proposals in his mind while giving a highly entertaining lecture on an abstruse subject is a classic example of the type. So is the stand-up comedian whose lampoons are not only funny, but incisively accurate.

ENTPs are usually verbally as well as cerebrally quick, and generally love to argue--both for its own sake, and to show off their often-impressive skills. They tend to have a perverse sense of humor as well, and enjoy playing devil's advocate. They sometimes confuse, even inadvertently hurt, those who don't understand or accept the concept of argument as a sport.

ENTPs are as innovative and ingenious at problem-solving as they are at verbal gymnastics; on occasion, however, they manage to outsmart themselves. This can take the form of getting found out at "sharp practice"--ENTPs have been known to cut corners without regard to the rules if it's expedient -- or simply in the collapse of an over-ambitious juggling act. Both at work and at home, ENTPs are very fond of "toys"--physical or intellectual, the more sophisticated the better. They tend to tire of these quickly, however, and move on to new ones.

and more...
ENTPs are nothing if not unique. Brave new associations flow freely from the unconscious into the world of the living. Making, discovering and developing connections between and among two or more of anything is virtually automatic. The product of intuition is merely an icon of process; ENTPs are in the business of change, improvement, experimentation.

Anyway, where do YOU fall on the test. What do you think about classification of peeps, the endless amount of quizzes etc?
