I am also an ENTP, and have taken this test multiple times to help with my career path.

Also, I think it is interesting how over-represented ENTP's are in this forum, considering that we are estimated to only make up 2-5% of the population. Could it be that we are the only ones that choose to post our results, or is Roosh's website just a magnet for guys like us?

Also, do the other ENTP's here find themselves over analyzing every little thing all the time, or is that just my curse?

I used to always get INTJ or ENTJ on these tests, but I quit taking them seriously after I found out that they aren't scientifically valid or taken very serious by psychologists. Mostly they're a tool for HR drones.

The test was designed by two housewives with no scientific background, based on Carl Jung's work, which itself had no empirical basis. Much like a zodiac you can be told that you are one of the limited number of types, read into it and due to confirmation bias start to see yourself in it no matter which it is. Human behavior is just a lot more complicated than can be fit into a few narrow personality types.

Here's a good article on the subject:

INFP - not the best for game. Too interested in helping others. I need to convert that helping others to helping her put her mouth around my cock, or helping her spread her legs.

INFP - Healers present a calm and serene face to the world, and can seem shy, even distant around others. But inside they're anything but serene, having a capacity for personal caring rarely found in the other types. Healers care deeply about the inner life of a few special persons, or about a favorite cause in the world at large. And their great passion is to heal the conflicts that trouble individuals, or that divide groups, and thus to bring wholeness, or health, to themselves, their loved ones, and their community.

Healers have a profound sense of idealism that comes from a strong personal sense of right and wrong. They conceive of the world as an ethical, honorable place, full of wondrous possibilities and potential goods. In fact, to understand Healers, we must understand that their deep commitment to the positive and the good is almost boundless and selfless, inspiring them to make extraordinary sacrifices for someone or something they believe in. (samsamsam fuuuuccccccckkk) Set off from the rest of humanity by their privacy and scarcity, Healers can often feel even more isolated in the purity of their idealism.

Also, Healers might well feel a sense of separation because of their often misunderstood childhood. Healers live a fantasy-filled childhood-they are the prince or princess of fairy tales-an attitude which, sadly, is frowned upon, or even punished, by many parents. With parents who want them to get their head out of the clouds, Healers begin to believe they are bad to be so fanciful, so dreamy, and can come to see themselves as ugly ducklings. In truth, they are quite OK just as they are, only different from most others-swans reared in a family of ducks.

At work, Healers are adaptable, welcome new ideas and new information, are patient with complicated situations, but impatient with routine details. Healers are keenly aware of people and their feelings, and relate well with most others. Because of their deep-seated reserve, however, they can work quite happily alone. When making decisions, Healers follow their heart not their head, which means they can make errors of fact, but seldom of feeling. They have a natural interest in scholarly activities and demonstrate, like the other Idealists, a remarkable facility with language. They have a gift for interpreting stories, as well as for creating them, and thus often write in lyric, poetic fashion. Frequently they hear a call to go forth into the world and help others, a call they seem ready to answer, even if they must sacrifice their own comfort.

I'm an ENFP and it describes me perfectly. It even nailed how I tend to be an "entertainer" rather than bothering closing; most of the emotional high comes from DHV, entertaining people, telling stories. It's part of the reason many in my life think I have "sick game" even though I rarely even try to close; they see me talking to everyone and being the center of attention.

The amount of ENTPs here doesn't surprise me at all. It seems they're among the more succesful gamers in this post too, raw assesment. Perhaps I'm ascribing this observation due to my personal opinion that If I could subjugate my feelings to my thoughts then I'd be much better at game...

[Hankk]

ENTP here. I did the real/full test while at the university. The course was some management/leadership bullshit and the test results were used to form teams of six to some project. I think the test gives quite accurate result of what type i am.

I'm INTP, the same personality type as Einstein. We're supposed to be very rare, smart and logical people who make great engineers, scientists and programmers.

Me too but oddly enough I was always terrible at math/science.

[coolkid]

ENTJ. Structure everything, take control, get angry when things go out of my control.

Same with me ISFJ, probably not the best personality for trying to be a player

I'm an ENTP too, well also INTP depending on my current lifestyle, sometimes 40-60 introvert othertimes 60-40 extrovert.

And yes, ENTPs are definitely hugely overrepresented here, but I don't think that is a coincidence considering the ENTP is an archetypal 'adventurer' who has a need to try and understand new things but gets bored with routine and too much stability.

I'd wager the ENTP is a natural traveller.

Unfortunately, my introversion gets the better of me sometimes, because INTP is not quite as fun place to be, where all your thoughts and ideas are in your head and not being applied to the real world as with the true ENTP.

[Ziltoid]

Tested several times before as INTP, actually fairly accurately.
Succinctly describes my biggest weaknesses; paralysis by analysis, too much propensity for accumulating theoretical knowledge and not enough putting it to practice, and a stunted ability to read non verbal language and social cues.

It's been a while since I have tested, I actually haven't done so since I entered the red pill world. Maybe I'll retake it later today and see if things have changed.

[lskdfjldsf]

ESTP, spot on. Libertarian salesman that doesn't give a rats ass about feelings during an internal decision making process. Killed my ACT's (score of 32) but had a 2.5 GPA through high school and college because I found none of it to be useful.

[The Beast1]

I've always wanted to do a write up on the Enneagram and Instinctual variant system. It goes hand in hand with the MBTI test system.

Before I got into the manosphere, I was really into this pop psychology stuff. The irony is, the system is pretty well set at putting all of us into some hierarchy.

The instinctual variants are definitely the most noticeable of defining who fits in where.

The system is very complicated and the tests for it are very weak. You really have to take the time to understand how it all fits in together.

[Twi]

INFP, fits pretty well.

[Ziltoid]

Tested as INTP again, fairly shocked.

Anyone here ever taken the Enneagram test? Think I'll start a separate thread for it.

[Enigma]

INTP.

I never payed too much attention to this stuff when I took it in school but it's very interesting to read now. It's funny how true some of the stuff is and it really helps with identifying your strengths and weaknesses.

This is a really good write-up that partially blew my mind with how accurate much of it is for me:

http://www.intp.org/intprofile.html

I think the people who think these types are too narrow or static should check out the Jungian descriptions that include dominant, secondary, tertiary, and inferior functioning.

For instance, INTPs dominant function is introverted thinking but their secondary function, which is still highly influential to their personality, is extroverted intuition. So, they do have extroverted qualities, they just aren't always obvious.

Like it describes in the link I posted, get them in the room with the right type or on a subject they're interested in and they won't shut the fuck up.

It's just like we have some guys on here who are better at game but don't have the business sense of other members, while the business guys don't have the game of the former. It doesn't mean either guy can't be good at both, it's just that certain things come more naturally to them.

These types aren't meant to pigenhole you as a person, they're meerly attempting to interpret how your mind processes and relates to the world.

[YaManBT]

INFP. Hence, why I've needed to study game.

I'm also an INTP and that's exactly right.

[teh_skeeze]

Quick question for the INTPs. Do you guys find yourself gracefully backing out of an approach if you don't feel it's going well? I feel like I back out too early sometimes, or I'll say to myself "I could, I just don't want to".

[Nascimento]

ENTP. Read the descriptions and found most of it sounds about right.

Here are my 2 cents on what I am like, positive and negative traits. Since there are many ENTP's, would like to hear if you guys also share the same:

- Love to socialize and are excellent conversationalists, but at times you just want people to stay away so you can chill back and cool off
- Overthink shit and overanalyze. Struggle to make decisions sometimes.
- Impulsive and tendency to try to do something crazy all of a sudden (key word is try, a lot of times you won't do it until you've thought it out once you realize how sudden things are).
- Changing moods. Hit very big highs and very down lows and constantly switching between them.
- Ability to 'roll with the punches'. Changing scenarios and sudden happenings aren't too much of a problem when you can suddenly improvise somehow.
- Warm towards those I like/have interest in, very cold towards those I don't.
