ENTP: Exravert iNtuitive Thinker Perceiver
“The Experimenter” (Temperament: Mastermind)
ENTPs are of the NT or “Mastermind” temperament and as such they’re typically going to be creative and they’re going to be independent thinkers.
ENTPs are known for being original and innovative. They’re quick thinkers and they have a unique ability to notice and create interesting juxtapositions. They have a knack for what’s called trans-contextual thinking. This is where various regions of their brains conspire to connect things in unusual ways. It’s an advanced way of thinking outside the box. A great example of this is the Tom Waits’ song “The Piano Has Been Drinking” that includes the lines:
“The carpet needs a haircut, and the spotlight looks like a prison break and the telephone’s out of cigarettes, and the balcony is on the make and the piano has been drinking, the piano has been drinking…”
Study hard what interests you the most in the most undisciplined, irreverent and original manner possible.
