I am an ENTP because I try to be good at everything despite the distractive nature of it. No joke. Art, music, science, all of it! I wanna be good at everything 😜 and I hate logical fallacies. I'd like to mention, before I forget, you were spot on that we have to share our accomplishments with friends. Not only that, we wanna teach them how to do it too!
I am an enfp who try to be good at everything i am interessed and i am curious about everything the difference is i know if i work and keep going i will succeed we have natural potential too the problem to Many enfps is to keep going and to stop procrastination but i begin to get over it my Friend is an entp we spent a lot of Times i mean every entp don't like logical fallacies but we have fun discussions together
@@andyszlamp2212 same we Can have an intense argument right now and the second After discussing and laughing like nothing happen people look at us juste like ''wtf''
Being an ENFP is sometimes exhausting, because fighting for my beliefs comes with the price of getting hate or backlash and it can be very emotionally draining. I sometimes wish someone would fight for my interests and for my beliefs. I just want to be understood and appreciated
The fact that you don’t hide your true beliefs for the sake of being agreeable means you are a healthy ENFP. Don’t ever tuck it down for anyone no matter how exhausting it becomes. You will shine in the long run! 💙
Your comment just made me further realized that I'm most probably not an ENFP. Thank you for the insight though 👍🏼. Respect for that authenticity you got in you.
Okay, first of all, being an ENTP... Not that wonderful, people. On the outside I think we tend to look impressive, but inside we're a mess of arrogance, untapped potential, impatience, and paradoxes. It took me forever to understand myself, and I've carried the shameful weight of having insane ambition but having not accomplished anything. Just turned 40 and am going back to finish college so I can finally have a career after being derailed for 20 years. Sure, we might have some awesome things to offer, but being a wash-up totally sucks. Here's to finishing something I've started for once 🍷
Congrats! Wash-up is a pretty harsh word. With all of that experience you can bring twice as much value than someone half your age. I know people who accomplished great things in their 20s and ended up having to start over because they were living someone else’s life. It is impressive to achieve your version of success even if you have to go the long way.
Its because ENTP are born entrepreneurs. We are made for that! I failed college 3 times and had drugs problems. Now I totally turned my life 3 years ago. Now I'm 2 year an entrepreneur and I'm realising I was born for success. I learned more than I ever did in collage!
i'm an ENTP but I resonated with every word of what you said about ENFP. I consider myself to have strong morals and ethics... But yes, rules are meant to be broken, especially if they are unfair, unjust, or outdated!
15:26 That is why as an ENTP find most of the ENTP stereotypes as idiotic, with Fe there is a huge sense of how we are perceived and how we affect other people emotionally. So why would an ENTP actively antagonize everyone the way ENTP stereotypes describe. Specially with Ti, if Fe is our inner desire, would you think we would do something as illogical as actively antagonizing everyone when our goal is to be liked? No, it makes absolutely no sense, yet people still believe in that stereotype, no matter how illogical it is when you look further into functions. I just want to add that being seen as skilled is actually not that important, or at lest to me. I only care if I think I am skilled, there is only one person I care to impress and proof myself to, which is me. I only externalize my thinking and skill, if the group I am in values it, not because I want to be seen as skilled, but because they value skill. If I am in a group that doesn't value said skill, I won't even mention it. Of course, I over value, my skill, knowledge and intelligence, often to my detriment, but I do not care if I am perceived as such. There was this video I found way too accurate about ENTPs. Another person is trying to offend the ENTP, saying things like "You are the most idiotic person I have ever met" and the ENTP was just laughing, and the other person gets mad and says "Why are you laughing can't you see I am offending you?" and the ENTP says "you fail to realize I do not care what you think of me, I only care that I think I am intelligent and that is the only thing I care about, therefore your comment is only irrelevant to me and that is why I laugh" and then says "If you wanted to truly hurt me, tell me how nobody likes me, tell me how I am a burden to others and how I bring nothing but negative emotions to other people"
Pffft this recalls a story from elementary school. A circle of girls got around me and each said one word of a sentence that completed; at.least.I’m.not.adopted. Well, I could tell that their intention was to ‘make fun’ of me but I was confused at that young age stating out loud; erm, ok? So what? I felt like; ok , i know I’m supposed to be ‘hurt’ but I just couldn’t ‘do it’. I could have focused on them overall intending to ostracize me, but it was just oo hard bc I was distracted with how much it didn’t make sense. Like; pick something that offends me instead if you’re going to go out of your way to make fun of me etc. Btw, I think I’m enfp but that doesn’t mean I don’t relate to scenarios which would fit a more entp situation.
I am an ENFP because my greatest ambition is not to be a master of anything outside myself. My ambition is to be a master of understanding my heart-being true-in order to connect with others and create positive change in the world.
Honestly as an enfp I have trouble like finding a crowd to stick with is that just me. Like I can be incredibly moody and I feel awful when it effects other people. I feel like if I am emotional people will get annoyed at me. I am a fun and relatable person but I feel like people dont see the real me. I'm always like am I doing this right? Or do you like me? I just want like one person or a couple of people who get me like no one else and I have a deep bond with. Inside jokes are cool. I often feel lonely and misunderstood. I'm like an anxious social person. I hate tention or hesitation in communication.
-enneagram type 4 I'm an enxp and a 4w3 enneagram. I really reccomend going to the enneagram institute and reading their main article about type 4 (cant put in links for some reason). It might help you because you sounded alot like me. It helped me atleast
It's ok to just sit in the silence sometimes. As an ENFP I've learned to do that and just be comfortable with myself and my sometimes awkward quirks. As soon as you do, it turns the awkwardness back on the other person bc it's really them that don't accept themselves. Don't pay attention to the weird looks or harsh judgements from others. It really really helps us to succeed more in that area
Sometimes I've even learned to say, why are you looking at me that way? Are you ok? (Especially men, they'll sometimes look at me either as if I'm weird or as if I owe them something or like they expect me to react in some different kind of way) I'm not sure if these types of instances are what you're referring to or not but it's just a little example They snap out of it immediately and come up with something
I am ENFP and my son is ENTP. We are very similar but one point you made was so true: We both feel fine about breaking rules and going against the system, when rules don’t seem just/fair or when they seem pointless. But as an ENFP, absolutely- I will use status as a means to break rules and I am fine not “showing” my rebellious side to anyone, as long as I’m achieving good for myself and others. My son, I somewhat admire for his more flagrant and public breaking of rules and proving them stupid. I used to be fascinated about why he wouldn’t be more like me and do it subtly, avoid trouble and get ahead. But the cognitive functions explain it all😊 Thanks for another great video.
I would have thought that given the cognitive functions an entp would be more subtle or apparently play by the rules (Fe) while he is breaking them under the table (Ti), and an enfp would be more open about their ideals (Fi) and not hide it, much less so if they have the position to back it up (Te)
@@octoberbabybee I hear you and what you say does make sense. I think it’s the Te of the ENFP. Te just wants to be effective. So if breaking a rule seems like an effective way to do something and doesn’t violate my own Fi morals, or better yet, upholds them, I don’t need anyone to know. Fi/Te can have a mindset of “the ends justify the means” for better or for worse. The Ti of the ENTP wants to provide a truth to the Fe tribe, so wants to expose the hypocrisy of the “untrue” rule.
This is frustrating me. I still don’t have a definitive answer. All of it is important to me-Authenticity, fairness, logic and reason, compassion and understanding differences... honor, respect, skills, recognition, expression, sharing personal experience to relate with others, the greater good, the bigger picture, seeing possibilities, learning new things, experiencing new things, fighting the good fight-even when others don’t speak up, advocating for self and others, connections, connecting, idk...
I hate all the ENTP stereotypes, like how we've got no feelings, cold, condescending assholes. It sucks, because I sometimes don't open up because I would wanna rationalise it first incase it upsets other people. I care a lot about how others think. I analyse a problem to make sure I'm being fair and not having my emotions taking over my rationality and sensibilities that would result in prejudice against others. My ENFP ex used to call me an asshole cause I'm an ENTP, insult me and my family and when I finally got upset and confronted him he would say I love to argue with him sometimes i hate these stereotypes, everyone could be just as abusive and wicked, and just because one is more rational/ or one has more feelings doesn't mean that they are more empathetic or what not, it could be for selfish reasons.
Its very normal for ENTPs to get F, because their Fe is often overlooked. Tests are mostly very bad though, I recommend studying the cognitive functions and typing yourself with them
@@pluto7382 I'm no expert, but I recommend the youtube channels "cognitive personality theory" and "objective personality" they've helped me out a lot. There's a lot of resources on the internet too but many of them are vague and you gotta go very deep to find useful info.
Enfp, love you guys! Smile today, love yourself, love family, love strangers, be kind, please just try to do for others even when you don't want to! I see people change right in front of me, just by saying "hey" to someone who looks depressed or even angry, it is a challenge to me!! 🤣 I love making people happy!! Love never fails!!! I also have a rebel in me, please speak up for yourselves if anyone is hurting you, use your voice, walk away, stay away from abuse and negativity, be the unicorn in the forest, and go process, but come back out, fight!! Write, paint, draw, sculpt, sing, do comedy, but we need to do something with our gifts also!!! My grandaughter is entp, she is a smart lil sucker, like me, ideas are flowing, i have seen her at 8, manipulate and lie like a pro,🤣. She will tell on herself too..🤣 love enfps and entps!! Rock it out rebels!!! ❤
I like this comparison! Still very confusing because of how much I identify with ENTP as a cognitive ENFP. This could be due to extreme Te development at a young age. I definitley care more about being acknowledged for my accomplishments so that I can get money to live the life I want. The hardest thing to realize in this comparison is the skill and communication part. I put great value in my skills and connections but I believe that comes through the lens of Fi values for wanting to show my skills to others as an exchange for wealth and ability to do all that I want to do. The ENTP definitley cares more about the quality of their skills and how to show them to people and ENFP is more focused on how to efficiently gain skills and gain influence to achieve their ideals and Aspirations.
I am an E, a T, and a P. On tests, I sometimes score as a T, and sometimes as an F. I always score on the border between the two. This was a great explanation of the difference, but I'm still not sure whether I'm an ENTP or an ENFP. I've always tended to identify as an ENTP. But the older I get, the more I identify with my F side. And thinking back to when I was a child, I have a hunch that I'm a natural ENFP.
Haha, I could relate to you. Though in an opposite manner. I just thought that I'm an ENFP all this time coz I used to depend on my feelings to make decisions. But for all the other things mentioned, I'm just an ENTP instead. So, it's confusing. ChatGPT anaylzed me to be an ENTP too.
im always trying to develop my skills, adopt lots of different kinds of skills. I can get low-key jealous which makes me competitive, motivating me even more to develop a wide range of skills. I really do value fairness and justice, that's why I always keep an open mind and tend to get irritated when other people are not. I was mistyped for a while as enfp because I was recently in a stressful relationship, pushing me into an fi grip - entp.
and I think I am really good at convincing, people more often than not end up agreeing with me in discussions because I use straight logic and common sense combined with my ne
The gist of the video is pretty spot-on. The problem is your explanations. There is a difference between morals and ethics. There's also a difference between logic and rational. TI also notice introverted thinking is logic. Entps are Ti parent. Therefore entps are extremely logical, their thought process is if this is true then this is true. If this is false then this is false. So you're using the same words interchangeably when you cannot. Entps are Fe child, Fe is extroverted feeling which is ethics. Ethics of course is how the collective feels about it. Entps are the most amoral people ever. Reason being, they are Fi Trickster. Entps believe that anything can be good or bad. I'm not saying this is a bad thing that's just the way they are. Now if you look at an ENFP, they are Fi parent, Fi is morals. So that's why when you talk about we know what is right as an ENFP is because we have very high moral standards. Of course morals is what you personally believe to be good or bad. Enfps are Te child, Te is rationale. That being they hold a lot of weight on statistics and titles of names, degrees. They also love to make it look like they are better than they are. Both types are very manipulative, but as I was told and ENFP has the motto." In the absence of communication or explanation, perception becomes reality" Now, the ENFP is TI Trickster, so they believe that anything could be true or false. Once again not a bad thing. Just wanted to add a little bit more information but you did a great job nonetheless.
Anything could be good or bad - ENTP Anything could be true or false - ENFP These points are a little bit confusing for me to understand. Could you provide some examples related to both views here? Would appreciate it. I'm trying to figure out which one am I right now. I understand everything in your comment, but couldn't come up with proper examples for these two references here about ENTP and ENFP 🙏🏼.
Thank you! This pretty much confirms my permanent undefinite answer. I identify with both types in different aspects, maybe slightly more with ENTP; but I tend to test around 49% Feeling and 51% Thinking, so it makes sense. Probably many people who watch this video for clarity also have pretty balanced F-T aspects, seeing all the indecision in the comments. :)
That's right. It's on balance for me too. Sometimes I got F, sometimes T. The latest is 44% T and 56% F. But this vid just makes me questioned my identity as an ENFP all this time. Seems like I couldn't relate to the ENFP points in this vid.
i watched a lot of MBTI videos talking about the differences between ENFP and ENTP because i related to both of type by the stereotypical ENTP & ENFP on social media. It's not hard to explain the differences but i got struggling with finding myself more on ENTP or ENFP so when coming to the working on project and situation, i dont even remember that did i use logical or emotional to make desicion. So this video is very helpful for me to understand and identify my personality type. After watching this video, i can complete comfirm that i am ENTP. Thank you sm ! this helps a lot
Elaborate plz, And why, Because my infps friends always somehow I shut them down but I was genuine, honest and caring, Elaborate plz cause I am having problems with infp
@@عبدالرحمنسليمان.المايسترو as an infp i hate debates and you guys always want to do it lol. especially if an entp is questioning my deep beliefs its the worst. also i think we can both be stubborn
Fairly new to MBTI but it's just so accurate. One of my newest buds is very fascinating to me, I kinda thought he was ENTP but things didn't always add up. With this video it's checking almost all of those ENFP boxes, some of these examples used literally happened in the short year I met him. Hopefully this will to be valuable insight for me. I always assumed that all his boasting of power and status is just some deep insecurity, since for most people it's either that or actual maliciousness towards others. But I could never find signs of that insecurity so it confused me greatly why he feels the need to prop himself up and remind everyone of his greatness so much when he neither looks down on others nor himself. To hear that it is a way of signaling strength to keep independence and freedom is an interesting perspective.
Love the video Erik. I think understanding ones personality is something a lot of people should explore, and I can relate as someone who has scored as both an ENTP and an ENFP usually only 55% T or 55% F. Feel free to offer further feedback here but I had some thoughts for those who “can’t decide” between an ENTP vs. ENFP: Here’s an idea, the more you are trying to analyze it from multiple different angles and perspectives to establish what you think is right based on sound reasoning, likely the stronger your Ti vs. Fi function is (ENTP) and the more you are seeking to agree with what feels true to who you are without questioning it so much logically, likely the stronger your Fi vs. Ti function (ENFP). Remember someone operating as an ENTP is often more likely to defend, argue and justify more opposing points where someone operating as an ENFP is more likely to seek to understand, support and relate to connecting points. (Big Five Agreeableness factor). This does not mean all ENTPs lack empathy or all ENFPs lack assertiveness. But an ENTP with unhealthy desire to argue may over power their ability to sympathize in many situations (prioritizing Ti over Fe), where an ENFP with unhealthy desire to seek harmony and relationship may interfere with their confidence and assertiveness (prioritizing Fi over Te). In many situations the ENTP wants to look like the smart/competent guy, where the ENFP wants to look like the good/nice guy. ENTP could easily be described as more innovative and strategic where an ENFP could be described as creative and playful. But there can be some strong overlap there. Both are often friendly, funny and very good with people when they want to be. E/I Thinking & E/I Feeling are each useful functions people should seek to develop throughout their life. You should learn how to have balance and self control when you need it, regardless of your perceived preset functions. I believe that although most people have a natural tendency more towards one or the other from a young age, this can change and each component of your personality can evolve and develop through childhood, varying based on experiences, family dynamics/parenting situations, interpersonal relationships, learned behavior and skills developed in pursuit of goals or aspirations and what season of life you are in. Most people will also likely lean more towards thinking under certain conditions & moods or more towards feeling regardless of which is your more dominant function. There can often be an exception to the rules of Think First & Analyze vs. Trust your Gut & Follow your Heart. People are not binary in the sense of being 100% completely one trait and 100% completely not others. We are not robots. We were designed to be adaptable and strong on multiple ways. Very few people will score as >90%T or >90%F so if you have a pretty even or close balance between the two don’t worry about it or see it as a hindrance. Use both functions to your advantage and turn it into a strength throughout your life. Continue to get mentorship from others with wisdom and seek honest perspective outside of your own thoughts and feelings. God bless!
Thanks for the insights! Yes, this is truly confusing to me. My T and F scores are almost balanced with each other everytime I took the test. Actually all the first letter, I/E, S/N, and T/F are always almost on balance for me. Only P scored higher than 80% for me. Probably that's why it's so easy to determine that I'm definitely an Ne-Si user instead of Ni-Se. Since P is prominent in me. But the judging functions (T or F) got super tricky to determine since I probably rarely use them. And they're in balance too. I must be a hybrid of ENTP-ENFP 😌.
ENTP here. Get good at something then get bored. Looking for next challenge. Problem is that reality expects you to continue putting the same intensity into the things you are no longer focused on.
Im entp..nt enfp finally clear...well explained.... I dont really care much about goodness or values or morals or effectiveness unless im connected to othrs n im valued for it...othrwise i really dont care..im happy in my own knowledge gathering and analyzing world unless i can create value with it in othrs life where im valued for my connectivity skill and for helping and counselling othrs. For me what i want is of no priority...bt i jump to help in wht othrs want ..i get pleasure helping with my knowledge and solution...not with my sympathy. Plus im nt really keen on authenticity unless i hv to find or say the truth...the raw harsh truth. Rest i am flexible with wht i want or like ...which can change drastically if something is logically wrong or right....i mean i can go to a shop to buy a dress, like a perfect dress, then see the price, tally it, analyze the necessity endlessly then buy something else which i wud automatically lik the most cz it fits perfectly with my logical analysis.
I'm always so doubtful of my personality type, sometimes im like 'no, but what if i'm not an entp and actually am *some other type*?' Was questioning my type again, this time after feeling too emotional during the last week, and came to this video. I'm an ENTP, no doubts anymore so thank you for such a good and helpful video (from what i noticed in the comments it helped a lot of people). Actually i think now i'm sure about my type the most i've ever been, i don't relate to any of the ENFP-specific traits you mentioned in the video, but your ENTP on the other hand describes me really well! Now i just NEED to watch your videos about other personality types 👁🔍🔍🔍🔍
I saw another comment here that said if you got super analytical about determining your type, you're probably an ENTP, not an ENFP. ENFPs would just believe that they're ENFPs. This comment reminds me of my case, when the one that said that I'm an ENFP is actually my INTP lil brother. But he only told me what I am, which I found a little bit irritating coz I don't have enough details or convincing arguments of why am I an ENFP? Since then, I'm trying to figure out my type on my own and ended up in this analysis paralysis of what type am I. After watching this vid and reading that comment btw, the tide of ENTP starting to get heavier for me. I'm almost convinced that I'm just an ENTP right now. Will do more research though.
I test as 51% ENFP and 49% ENTP. I seriously feel like I started life as an ENFP and morphed into an ENTP from thinking for so long about how in the heck did I get myself into this position ? HAH
This honestly how I feel, I’ve been an enfp when I was younger but the longer I sit in this world the less feeling I become due to the realities of this world.
I think it is more about developing our functions as we age. You really don't change type unless you used a bad test before. It is common to develop your Te over time as an ENFP, and yes you will use that function in certain careers. It's very useful when it's not just used during stressful times!! :) Te is about organizing and delegating and challenging if necessary. The thinking you are referring to may be your Ne expanding with time as well. The essence of Ne is pondering. I had a huge surge in both starting in my late 40's.... if that helps, hope so!
I swear, in my opinion you are the best mbti youtuber, I can't understand how you express so deeply other personality types, I'm an ENTP and I feer super identified with the videos you make of entps, but for me is difficult to truly understand when you talk about other personality types ways of understanding things, so congrats on your work and hope to be near that level some day haha.
As another entp this video described me perfectly. I hate it when people talk about as if all entps have no fi and have no feelings but this video showed that we do value who we are and how people see us but we are just more bothered by our ti stuff and achieving skills through relationships
You got all the entp points correct its just that the last point regarding power and accomplishment is incorrect, type 8 entps diffenetly do vie for power unlike type 7 for example which is the stereotypical entp. Type 3s vie for status. Im a type 8 myself and I feel like in order for me to properly conduct my skillset, I need to have both physical and social prowess otherwise its not going to be used properly due to injustices. I love your videos btw.
For years I've thought I'm an enfp, always doubting if I'm not infact an infp or an entp, but after watching this, I have come to the conclusion, that though almost everything was very fitting, the entp side reasonated even more with me then the enfp side did. I don't know why I have the urge to categorize myself, though.
in some point it was important to me that others recognize my talent and i reach this golew very soon . after that i had enough confidence in my abilities witch did not wave with unreasonable disagreements . one of the swarm enemy is common sense
On the point at around 11:30, I actually highly value physical power and have large amounts of respect if someone is more physically “powerful” than me. That is why I train in a variety of martial arts and do a lot of physically taxing activities. I feel that I don’t deserve authority if I can’t physically protect and keep it. However I do ultimately consider intelligence more valuable than physical prowess, which is noticeable most in arguments with my dad, who himself is a far more capable martial artist than I, and I still will act with (admittedly quite arrogant) hostility if he is not acting in a logical manner and openly challenge threats he gives me, which used to result in lessons in something called “hu-mil-i-ty”, whatever that is. On a more serious note, he stopped doing that once he realized it made me more defiant of his flawed logic. Oh well, that’s just my input on ENTPs valuing physical prowess
As a INFJ I am intrigued by both these types…. Yet I haven’t met either in my life… definitely haven’t dated one yet. Just waiting for those ENxP ladies to seek me out or even those guys that wanna be friends!
Plus, because I'm an enneagram 2, I'm very different from most ENFPs. I have a little more introverted thinking than most ENFPs. But we are all different.
Me and my friend always test ourselves every 3 months and it's always been INFP for me and ENFP for her but her latest results said ENTP so she did a few more tests and they're all saying ENTP now! I don't understand why because they are so different!
Superhelfull!!! Bye, bye doubts, entp. I value both justice and authenticity, but if I have to be strategic for justice I'll just be, it might make me inconfortable from an ethical point of view, but I'll do it without blincking.
You are so well spoken. Can you give me a little advice? I teeter totter between these two and they are so clearly different but they are both clearly me depending on mood. I would say I’m the perfect 50/50. What’s your opinion on that?
im an entp but why do i relate to the 4:16 i always ask ppl abt what they thingking abt something although i already know the answer, but i always argue with them when their answer is not the same with my answer, or if i 100% dont know abt something, asking to 1 person is not enough for me, even if 1 person already give me an answer that is i really believe im still gonna ask to more ppl to just see whats the other answer, is that mean if im an enfp ?
Well now I know that I entp Because my friend is enfp compared what you were saying with my friend's personality and my personality and everything you said is true about her and me
Why? Why did I miss this? So after watching this video - 5 days ago - I started doubting my whole ENFP self. I'm not sure if I'm bring unhealthy right now but I watched every ENTP video I could find and it's like... All of a sudden, I don't just tick 98% of the boxes... I tick 100% of them. How in the name of all things holy can I go from ENFP to ENTP? I know they feel so similar but they're also very different... Well right now... I *know* nothing. So I took Erik's test on his website more than once these past couple of days and I'm lost. I typed differently each time and nowhere close to ENFP or ENTP. Please help me. Other sites give me ENFP most times although I've had ISTP 👀 once, INTJ once (I wish), INFP (between 3 - 5 times) and ENFJ. Never once ENTP or even INFJ. I'm lost. Can any ENTP just like put a list in here in Point Format and just be straightforward? *Like:* ° I don't sleep ° I love research ° I don't care about your degree, if I had the time and patience, I'd probably do it better than you, so stop talking, start doing. ° Let's not argue any further because you're not seeing my point. Bring the crayons, I'll draw you a picture. If you still don't get it, we'll... I tried. ° What? No I'm not saying you're stupid, just listen to me... If this is green, and this is blue... Then it's obvious that the missing part is yellow?! *Yes* Nooooooo, it could be sea green or some kind of an Aquamarine type of thing... Nothing is obvious! Think! *Okay then, No* OMG you're so gullible. Pick a side and stick to it so I know what's happening in your head so I can plan this whole damn argument whichever way it goes. It doesn't matter if you go off-script... I'll still be able to think on the spot but seriously, I don't like people who switch sides all the time. Be who you want, just stick to it. I hear what you say and I watch what you do and trust me, I pick up on every little thing...
I think if you mixed an ESFP and ENTP in one entity, you would get ENFP. Like we can be rational and logical, but we also secretly sense the room and people despite the inferior Si. We're too stupid and people-pleasing for ENTP's but too logical and analytical for ESFP's hahahah.
If I think you should do what you want as long as you ain’t hurting anyone but I also no random facts and like debating does that make me enforce or entombed
Because I lack introverted thinking, it's difficult for me to logically explain anything. I change my ways of communication with logical types like INTPs. I find those types always need concrete evidence to my abstract thinking. But your test revealed I'm an INTP when I am under stress. It's the how it works, instead if the why. Like I know the why, then I have to learn the how the concrete, logical factual information lines up to my why. You can learned so much from introverted thinking types, although you can learn from everyone. I simply can't understand why people aren't true to themselves. Why should you live in a state of self deception? Don't you know your deceiving yourself and living a lie. My opinion only. Does that make sense? Lol.
Respectfully, it sounds to me like the descriptions here are the same, but with different vernacular selections. In my experience(s), people with Integrity & Honor do what is Fair & Just. And, everyone thinks/feels they're using logic to defend their/our positions whence transgressed upon. We all make the mistake of confusing Objective/Subjective when it comes to feels. But is... *IS.* Don't believe me? Jump out of an airplane without a parachute & try to fly, then land softly cuz you feel like you can. I.E. Whether or not that logic is flawed, well, there resides the key distinction. I'm even more confused (between these two types) than when I clicked 😵💫😂
@@Heart.headed Truth is we are all the same, just different perspectives, indeed the words themselves are not so important, its up to the person to find an interpretation that helps them in their practical life. Language is a problem here: We think we mean the same things with the same words but we usually grossly misunderstand one another. So context and situation is everything. And you have to try to get into examples. Archetypes and the mbti are just a tool, objectively meaningless, but can be useful to navigate the complexity of psychology. :)
I just watched this video but.... Seriously guy why you put one as an angel and the other as a devil?? That is not fair!! Would you have done the opposite and put the other one as angel and the 1st as a devil it would be not fair either! Yes it's easily guessable I'm ENTP 😂
I disagree about authenticity for ENFP and keeping value regardless of the society. I tend to see them as society driven values with some flexibility. However, their authenticity with their beliefs is activated rarely when they are away from the society living their own world.
What? Living in their own world? Enfps, and entps alike live in abstract land. 😂 Enfps are the Robinhoods, real fighters for justice! And, our beliefs and values are always activated. We are alll about the win win, maybe you are speaking of an immature enfp. Yeah, as we mature, we keep it real, 180, and we only connect deeply, with others who do. God bless! 💜
I am an ENTP because I try to be good at everything despite the distractive nature of it. No joke. Art, music, science, all of it! I wanna be good at everything 😜 and I hate logical fallacies. I'd like to mention, before I forget, you were spot on that we have to share our accomplishments with friends. Not only that, we wanna teach them how to do it too!
I am an enfp who try to be good at everything i am interessed and i am curious about everything the difference is i know if i work and keep going i will succeed we have natural potential too the problem to Many enfps is to keep going and to stop procrastination but i begin to get over it my Friend is an entp we spent a lot of Times i mean every entp don't like logical fallacies but we have fun discussions together
@@rebornbutterfly1663 we like to argue for things we disagree with too. That confuses everyone XD
I notice ENFPs also love to learn but they get annoyed if they are not instantly good at something, is that true for you Mabichette?
So relate to this
@@andyszlamp2212 same we Can have an intense argument right now and the second After discussing and laughing like nothing happen people look at us juste like ''wtf''
Being an ENFP is sometimes exhausting, because fighting for my beliefs comes with the price of getting hate or backlash and it can be very emotionally draining.
I sometimes wish someone would fight for my interests and for my beliefs. I just want to be understood and appreciated
A advocate personality type will do you well most FJs.
@@danishbutter1847 INFJs and ENFJs are my favorite so that works lol. I also love INFPs. - an ENFP
The fact that you don’t hide your true beliefs for the sake of being agreeable means you are a healthy ENFP. Don’t ever tuck it down for anyone no matter how exhausting it becomes. You will shine in the long run! 💙
Your comment just made me further realized that I'm most probably not an ENFP. Thank you for the insight though 👍🏼. Respect for that authenticity you got in you.
Okay, first of all, being an ENTP... Not that wonderful, people. On the outside I think we tend to look impressive, but inside we're a mess of arrogance, untapped potential, impatience, and paradoxes. It took me forever to understand myself, and I've carried the shameful weight of having insane ambition but having not accomplished anything. Just turned 40 and am going back to finish college so I can finally have a career after being derailed for 20 years. Sure, we might have some awesome things to offer, but being a wash-up totally sucks. Here's to finishing something I've started for once 🍷
Congrats! Wash-up is a pretty harsh word. With all of that experience you can bring twice as much value than someone half your age. I know people who accomplished great things in their 20s and ended up having to start over because they were living someone else’s life. It is impressive to achieve your version of success even if you have to go the long way.
Its because ENTP are born entrepreneurs. We are made for that! I failed college 3 times and had drugs problems. Now I totally turned my life 3 years ago. Now I'm 2 year an entrepreneur and I'm realising I was born for success. I learned more than I ever did in collage!
I don’t know you but I’m SO proud of you 💙
@@thimohogervorst5057 good for you!💖
@@thimohogervorst5057 This is so reassuring! Thank you!
i'm an ENTP but I resonated with every word of what you said about ENFP. I consider myself to have strong morals and ethics... But yes, rules are meant to be broken, especially if they are unfair, unjust, or outdated!
Hey ENFP here. Rules are just guidelines LMAO. Sometimes we gotta break to act good, strict rule followers are nazis.
@@ErikAdalbertvanNagelWow, I didn’t know that any follower of a strict rule is a member of the German national socialist party.
15:26 That is why as an ENTP find most of the ENTP stereotypes as idiotic, with Fe there is a huge sense of how we are perceived and how we affect other people emotionally. So why would an ENTP actively antagonize everyone the way ENTP stereotypes describe. Specially with Ti, if Fe is our inner desire, would you think we would do something as illogical as actively antagonizing everyone when our goal is to be liked? No, it makes absolutely no sense, yet people still believe in that stereotype, no matter how illogical it is when you look further into functions.
I just want to add that being seen as skilled is actually not that important, or at lest to me. I only care if I think I am skilled, there is only one person I care to impress and proof myself to, which is me. I only externalize my thinking and skill, if the group I am in values it, not because I want to be seen as skilled, but because they value skill. If I am in a group that doesn't value said skill, I won't even mention it. Of course, I over value, my skill, knowledge and intelligence, often to my detriment, but I do not care if I am perceived as such.
There was this video I found way too accurate about ENTPs. Another person is trying to offend the ENTP, saying things like "You are the most idiotic person I have ever met" and the ENTP was just laughing, and the other person gets mad and says "Why are you laughing can't you see I am offending you?" and the ENTP says "you fail to realize I do not care what you think of me, I only care that I think I am intelligent and that is the only thing I care about, therefore your comment is only irrelevant to me and that is why I laugh" and then says "If you wanted to truly hurt me, tell me how nobody likes me, tell me how I am a burden to others and how I bring nothing but negative emotions to other people"
Bruh I'm just reading the last sentence and it hurts me too 💀 too damn on point.
Brilliant!
Absolutely... people keep forgetting we have Fe. We arent always party poopers smh.
Pffft this recalls a story from elementary school. A circle of girls got around me and each said one word of a sentence that completed; at.least.I’m.not.adopted. Well, I could tell that their intention was to ‘make fun’ of me but I was confused at that young age stating out loud; erm, ok? So what? I felt like; ok , i know I’m supposed to be ‘hurt’ but I just couldn’t ‘do it’. I could have focused on them overall intending to ostracize me, but it was just oo hard bc I was distracted with how much it didn’t make sense. Like; pick something that offends me instead if you’re going to go out of your way to make fun of me etc. Btw, I think I’m enfp but that doesn’t mean I don’t relate to scenarios which would fit a more entp situation.
Yeah my Fe cares deeply. I hate the stereotypes so much.
I am an ENFP because my greatest ambition is not to be a master of anything outside myself. My ambition is to be a master of understanding my heart-being true-in order to connect with others and create positive change in the world.
Honestly as an enfp I have trouble like finding a crowd to stick with is that just me. Like I can be incredibly moody and I feel awful when it effects other people. I feel like if I am emotional people will get annoyed at me. I am a fun and relatable person but I feel like people dont see the real me. I'm always like am I doing this right? Or do you like me? I just want like one person or a couple of people who get me like no one else and I have a deep bond with. Inside jokes are cool. I often feel lonely and misunderstood. I'm like an anxious social person. I hate tention or hesitation in communication.
Exactlllllyyyyy!!!! ☺❤
-enneagram type 4
I'm an enxp and a 4w3 enneagram. I really reccomend going to the enneagram institute and reading their main article about type 4 (cant put in links for some reason). It might help you because you sounded alot like me. It helped me atleast
It's ok to just sit in the silence sometimes. As an ENFP I've learned to do that and just be comfortable with myself and my sometimes awkward quirks. As soon as you do, it turns the awkwardness back on the other person bc it's really them that don't accept themselves. Don't pay attention to the weird looks or harsh judgements from others. It really really helps us to succeed more in that area
Sometimes I've even learned to say, why are you looking at me that way? Are you ok?
(Especially men, they'll sometimes look at me either as if I'm weird or as if I owe them something or like they expect me to react in some different kind of way) I'm not sure if these types of instances are what you're referring to or not but it's just a little example
They snap out of it immediately and come up with something
took the words right outta my brain
I am ENFP and my son is ENTP. We are very similar but one point you made was so true: We both feel fine about breaking rules and going against the system, when rules don’t seem just/fair or when they seem pointless.
But as an ENFP, absolutely- I will use status as a means to break rules and I am fine not “showing” my rebellious side to anyone, as long as I’m achieving good for myself and others.
My son, I somewhat admire for his more flagrant and public breaking of rules and proving them stupid. I used to be fascinated about why he wouldn’t be more like me and do it subtly, avoid trouble and get ahead. But the cognitive functions explain it all😊
Thanks for another great video.
You're a fun mom - ENTP.
@@JstJaybeingJay uP
I would have thought that given the cognitive functions an entp would be more subtle or apparently play by the rules (Fe) while he is breaking them under the table (Ti), and an enfp would be more open about their ideals (Fi) and not hide it, much less so if they have the position to back it up (Te)
@@octoberbabybee I hear you and what you say does make sense. I think it’s the Te of the ENFP. Te just wants to be effective. So if breaking a rule seems like an effective way to do something and doesn’t violate my own Fi morals, or better yet, upholds them, I don’t need anyone to know. Fi/Te can have a mindset of “the ends justify the means” for better or for worse.
The Ti of the ENTP wants to provide a truth to the Fe tribe, so wants to expose the hypocrisy of the “untrue” rule.
@@octoberbabybee I see the thing you are saying happen more often in those with Fi hero, like I see INFPs doing what you wrote about.
This is frustrating me. I still don’t have a definitive answer. All of it is important to me-Authenticity, fairness, logic and reason, compassion and understanding differences... honor, respect, skills, recognition, expression, sharing personal experience to relate with others, the greater good, the bigger picture, seeing possibilities, learning new things, experiencing new things, fighting the good fight-even when others don’t speak up, advocating for self and others, connections, connecting, idk...
You don't have to choose between these things, try prioritizing them and you may get your answer! :)
Have you try to take the mbti test? That way the calculator will match it for you instead of you being confused with the similarities (:
I hate all the ENTP stereotypes, like how we've got no feelings, cold, condescending assholes. It sucks, because I sometimes don't open up because I would wanna rationalise it first incase it upsets other people. I care a lot about how others think. I analyse a problem to make sure I'm being fair and not having my emotions taking over my rationality and sensibilities that would result in prejudice against others. My ENFP ex used to call me an asshole cause I'm an ENTP, insult me and my family and when I finally got upset and confronted him he would say I love to argue with him sometimes i hate these stereotypes, everyone could be just as abusive and wicked, and just because one is more rational/ or one has more feelings doesn't mean that they are more empathetic or what not, it could be for selfish reasons.
I got ENFP but got a 51 and 49 so super close to being a ENTP
same deal here! I always get 50-something and 40-something for feeling vs thinking!! its so close every time lol
Its very normal for ENTPs to get F, because their Fe is often overlooked. Tests are mostly very bad though, I recommend studying the cognitive functions and typing yourself with them
@@alfie8645 thanks! I will definitely try that! any articles/resources/websites you recommend for learning and studying cognitive functions?
@@alfie8645 I just read a bunch of stuff about cognitive functions and its super eye opening and interesting! thanks for the recommendation!!
@@pluto7382 I'm no expert, but I recommend the youtube channels "cognitive personality theory" and "objective personality" they've helped me out a lot. There's a lot of resources on the internet too but many of them are vague and you gotta go very deep to find useful info.
Enfp, love you guys! Smile today, love yourself, love family, love strangers, be kind, please just try to do for others even when you don't want to! I see people change right in front of me, just by saying "hey" to someone who looks depressed or even angry, it is a challenge to me!! 🤣 I love making people happy!! Love never fails!!! I also have a rebel in me, please speak up for yourselves if anyone is hurting you, use your voice, walk away, stay away from abuse and negativity, be the unicorn in the forest, and go process, but come back out, fight!! Write, paint, draw, sculpt, sing, do comedy, but we need to do something with our gifts also!!! My grandaughter is entp, she is a smart lil sucker, like me, ideas are flowing, i have seen her at 8, manipulate and lie like a pro,🤣. She will tell on herself too..🤣 love enfps and entps!! Rock it out rebels!!! ❤
I like this comparison! Still very confusing because of how much I identify with ENTP as a cognitive ENFP. This could be due to extreme Te development at a young age. I definitley care more about being acknowledged for my accomplishments so that I can get money to live the life I want. The hardest thing to realize in this comparison is the skill and communication part. I put great value in my skills and connections but I believe that comes through the lens of Fi values for wanting to show my skills to others as an exchange for wealth and ability to do all that I want to do. The ENTP definitley cares more about the quality of their skills and how to show them to people and ENFP is more focused on how to efficiently gain skills and gain influence to achieve their ideals and Aspirations.
It actually sounds like ENFPs probably have more aims than ENTPs, which is to tend to their moral values or authenticity.
I am an E, a T, and a P. On tests, I sometimes score as a T, and sometimes as an F. I always score on the border between the two. This was a great explanation of the difference, but I'm still not sure whether I'm an ENTP or an ENFP.
I've always tended to identify as an ENTP. But the older I get, the more I identify with my F side. And thinking back to when I was a child, I have a hunch that I'm a natural ENFP.
I always switch between the two personalties. I don't know which one I am
Haha, I could relate to you. Though in an opposite manner. I just thought that I'm an ENFP all this time coz I used to depend on my feelings to make decisions. But for all the other things mentioned, I'm just an ENTP instead. So, it's confusing. ChatGPT anaylzed me to be an ENTP too.
im always trying to develop my skills, adopt lots of different kinds of skills. I can get low-key jealous which makes me competitive, motivating me even more to develop a wide range of skills. I really do value fairness and justice, that's why I always keep an open mind and tend to get irritated when other people are not. I was mistyped for a while as enfp because I was recently in a stressful relationship, pushing me into an fi grip - entp.
and I think I am really good at convincing, people more often than not end up agreeing with me in discussions because I use straight logic and common sense combined with my ne
Glad to hear this resonated with you, as an ENTP! I think a lot of entp girls can mistype as ENFPs.
@@ErikThor I didn’t know that, thank you for the clarity :)
You're just like me
ENTP I'm all about that grind. Keep your achievements. I want dem' levels, baby.
The gist of the video is pretty spot-on. The problem is your explanations. There is a difference between morals and ethics. There's also a difference between logic and rational. TI also notice introverted thinking is logic. Entps are Ti parent. Therefore entps are extremely logical, their thought process is if this is true then this is true. If this is false then this is false. So you're using the same words interchangeably when you cannot. Entps are Fe child, Fe is extroverted feeling which is ethics. Ethics of course is how the collective feels about it. Entps are the most amoral people ever. Reason being, they are Fi Trickster. Entps believe that anything can be good or bad. I'm not saying this is a bad thing that's just the way they are.
Now if you look at an ENFP, they are Fi parent, Fi is morals. So that's why when you talk about we know what is right as an ENFP is because we have very high moral standards. Of course morals is what you personally believe to be good or bad. Enfps are Te child, Te is rationale. That being they hold a lot of weight on statistics and titles of names, degrees. They also love to make it look like they are better than they are. Both types are very manipulative, but as I was told and ENFP has the motto." In the absence of communication or explanation, perception becomes reality" Now, the ENFP is TI Trickster, so they believe that anything could be true or false. Once again not a bad thing. Just wanted to add a little bit more information but you did a great job nonetheless.
Anything could be good or bad - ENTP
Anything could be true or false - ENFP
These points are a little bit confusing for me to understand. Could you provide some examples related to both views here? Would appreciate it. I'm trying to figure out which one am I right now. I understand everything in your comment, but couldn't come up with proper examples for these two references here about ENTP and ENFP 🙏🏼.
ENTPs are the biggest game-changers. Raw imagination paired with logic. Does it get any better than that!?
I believe u are an entp 😂😂love the way u say it.. I can annoying for ppl but to me it sound so freaking cool
Thank you! This pretty much confirms my permanent undefinite answer. I identify with both types in different aspects, maybe slightly more with ENTP; but I tend to test around 49% Feeling and 51% Thinking, so it makes sense. Probably many people who watch this video for clarity also have pretty balanced F-T aspects, seeing all the indecision in the comments. :)
That's right. It's on balance for me too. Sometimes I got F, sometimes T. The latest is 44% T and 56% F. But this vid just makes me questioned my identity as an ENFP all this time. Seems like I couldn't relate to the ENFP points in this vid.
i watched a lot of MBTI videos talking about the differences between ENFP and ENTP because i related to both of type by the stereotypical ENTP & ENFP on social media. It's not hard to explain the differences but i got struggling with finding myself more on ENTP or ENFP so when coming to the working on project and situation, i dont even remember that did i use logical or emotional to make desicion. So this video is very helpful for me to understand and identify my personality type. After watching this video, i can complete comfirm that i am ENTP. Thank you sm ! this helps a lot

Fairly new to MBTI but it's just so accurate. One of my newest buds is very fascinating to me, I kinda thought he was ENTP but things didn't always add up. With this video it's checking almost all of those ENFP boxes, some of these examples used literally happened in the short year I met him. Hopefully this will to be valuable insight for me.
I always assumed that all his boasting of power and status is just some deep insecurity, since for most people it's either that or actual maliciousness towards others. But I could never find signs of that insecurity so it confused me greatly why he feels the need to prop himself up and remind everyone of his greatness so much when he neither looks down on others nor himself. To hear that it is a way of signaling strength to keep independence and freedom is an interesting perspective.
Interesting story.
Love the video Erik. I think understanding ones personality is something a lot of people should explore, and I can relate as someone who has scored as both an ENTP and an ENFP usually only 55% T or 55% F.
Feel free to offer further feedback here but I had some thoughts for those who “can’t decide” between an ENTP vs. ENFP:
Here’s an idea, the more you are trying to analyze it from multiple different angles and perspectives to establish what you think is right based on sound reasoning, likely the stronger your Ti vs. Fi function is (ENTP) and the more you are seeking to agree with what feels true to who you are without questioning it so much logically, likely the stronger your Fi vs. Ti function (ENFP). Remember someone operating as an ENTP is often more likely to defend, argue and justify more opposing points where someone operating as an ENFP is more likely to seek to understand, support and relate to connecting points. (Big Five Agreeableness factor). This does not mean all ENTPs lack empathy or all ENFPs lack assertiveness.
But an ENTP with unhealthy desire to argue may over power their ability to sympathize in many situations (prioritizing Ti over Fe), where an ENFP with unhealthy desire to seek harmony and relationship may interfere with their confidence and assertiveness (prioritizing Fi over Te). In many situations the ENTP wants to look like the smart/competent guy, where the ENFP wants to look like the good/nice guy. ENTP could easily be described as more innovative and strategic where an ENFP could be described as creative and playful. But there can be some strong overlap there. Both are often friendly, funny and very good with people when they want to be.
E/I Thinking & E/I Feeling are each useful functions people should seek to develop throughout their life. You should learn how to have balance and self control when you need it, regardless of your perceived preset functions.
I believe that although most people have a natural tendency more towards one or the other from a young age, this can change and each component of your personality can evolve and develop through childhood, varying based on experiences, family dynamics/parenting situations, interpersonal relationships, learned behavior and skills developed in pursuit of goals or aspirations and what season of life you are in.
Most people will also likely lean more towards thinking under certain conditions & moods or more towards feeling regardless of which is your more dominant function. There can often be an exception to the rules of Think First & Analyze vs. Trust your Gut & Follow your Heart.
People are not binary in the sense of being 100% completely one trait and 100% completely not others. We are not robots. We were designed to be adaptable and strong on multiple ways. Very few people will score as >90%T or >90%F so if you have a pretty even or close balance between the two don’t worry about it or see it as a hindrance. Use both functions to your advantage and turn it into a strength throughout your life. Continue to get mentorship from others with wisdom and seek honest perspective outside of your own thoughts and feelings. God bless!
Thanks for the insights! Yes, this is truly confusing to me. My T and F scores are almost balanced with each other everytime I took the test. Actually all the first letter, I/E, S/N, and T/F are always almost on balance for me. Only P scored higher than 80% for me. Probably that's why it's so easy to determine that I'm definitely an Ne-Si user instead of Ni-Se. Since P is prominent in me. But the judging functions (T or F) got super tricky to determine since I probably rarely use them. And they're in balance too. I must be a hybrid of ENTP-ENFP 😌.
Thank you for erasing any doubts - I am ABSOLUTELY an ENFP!
ENTP here. Get good at something then get bored. Looking for next challenge. Problem is that reality expects you to continue putting the same intensity into the things you are no longer focused on.
Im entp..nt enfp finally clear...well explained.... I dont really care much about goodness or values or morals or effectiveness unless im connected to othrs n im valued for it...othrwise i really dont care..im happy in my own knowledge gathering and analyzing world unless i can create value with it in othrs life where im valued for my connectivity skill and for helping and counselling othrs. For me what i want is of no priority...bt i jump to help in wht othrs want ..i get pleasure helping with my knowledge and solution...not with my sympathy. Plus im nt really keen on authenticity unless i hv to find or say the truth...the raw harsh truth. Rest i am flexible with wht i want or like ...which can change drastically if something is logically wrong or right....i mean i can go to a shop to buy a dress, like a perfect dress, then see the price, tally it, analyze the necessity endlessly then buy something else which i wud automatically lik the most cz it fits perfectly with my logical analysis.
I'm always so doubtful of my personality type, sometimes im like 'no, but what if i'm not an entp and actually am *some other type*?' Was questioning my type again, this time after feeling too emotional during the last week, and came to this video. I'm an ENTP, no doubts anymore so thank you for such a good and helpful video (from what i noticed in the comments it helped a lot of people). Actually i think now i'm sure about my type the most i've ever been, i don't relate to any of the ENFP-specific traits you mentioned in the video, but your ENTP on the other hand describes me really well! Now i just NEED to watch your videos about other personality types 👁🔍🔍🔍🔍
I saw another comment here that said if you got super analytical about determining your type, you're probably an ENTP, not an ENFP. ENFPs would just believe that they're ENFPs.
This comment reminds me of my case, when the one that said that I'm an ENFP is actually my INTP lil brother. But he only told me what I am, which I found a little bit irritating coz I don't have enough details or convincing arguments of why am I an ENFP? Since then, I'm trying to figure out my type on my own and ended up in this analysis paralysis of what type am I. After watching this vid and reading that comment btw, the tide of ENTP starting to get heavier for me. I'm almost convinced that I'm just an ENTP right now. Will do more research though.
Two of my favorite types. You provide very accurate insight here for these two types. Nice job !!!
Erik, I can listen to you talk all day. It’s great asmr.
I test as 51% ENFP and 49% ENTP. I seriously feel like I started life as an ENFP and morphed into an ENTP from thinking for so long about how in the heck did I get myself into this position ? HAH
@Medard thank you! I will
This honestly how I feel, I’ve been an enfp when I was younger but the longer I sit in this world the less feeling I become due to the realities of this world.
I think it is more about developing our functions as we age. You really don't change type unless you used a bad test before. It is common to develop your Te over time as an ENFP, and yes you will use that function in certain careers. It's very useful when it's not just used during stressful times!! :) Te is about organizing and delegating and challenging if necessary. The thinking you are referring to may be your Ne expanding with time as well. The essence of Ne is pondering. I had a huge surge in both starting in my late 40's.... if that helps, hope so!
I swear, in my opinion you are the best mbti youtuber, I can't understand how you express so deeply other personality types, I'm an ENTP and I feer super identified with the videos you make of entps, but for me is difficult to truly understand when you talk about other personality types ways of understanding things, so congrats on your work and hope to be near that level some day haha.
As another entp this video described me perfectly. I hate it when people talk about as if all entps have no fi and have no feelings but this video showed that we do value who we are and how people see us but we are just more bothered by our ti stuff and achieving skills through relationships
as an ENTP you truly get us. Regard from Chile
Thankyou for the clarification, ENTP for sure!
You got all the entp points correct its just that the last point regarding power and accomplishment is incorrect, type 8 entps diffenetly do vie for power unlike type 7 for example which is the stereotypical entp. Type 3s vie for status. Im a type 8 myself and I feel like in order for me to properly conduct my skillset, I need to have both physical and social prowess otherwise its not going to be used properly due to injustices. I love your videos btw.
I'm an ENFP because whenever I answer any MBTI test honestly I'm assigned ENFP and can completely relate to it, yet I still question it ;)
yessss Im an ENTP , and so true 🫡🫡
I’m an infj and I love my enfp friend
I suppose I'm an en*p, it really depends on my mood, I have clinical bipolar disorder so it kinda makes sense
For years I've thought I'm an enfp, always doubting if I'm not infact an infp or an entp, but after watching this, I have come to the conclusion, that though almost everything was very fitting, the entp side reasonated even more with me then the enfp side did. I don't know why I have the urge to categorize myself, though.
Thai Sub?? OMG!!!! Thank you so much.
Not sure who did that one, but thanks indeed!
in some point it was important to me that others recognize my talent and i reach this golew very soon . after that i had enough confidence in my abilities witch did not wave with unreasonable disagreements . one of the swarm enemy is common sense
Wow this really helped me get rid of my confused!
On the point at around 11:30, I actually highly value physical power and have large amounts of respect if someone is more physically “powerful” than me. That is why I train in a variety of martial arts and do a lot of physically taxing activities. I feel that I don’t deserve authority if I can’t physically protect and keep it. However I do ultimately consider intelligence more valuable than physical prowess, which is noticeable most in arguments with my dad, who himself is a far more capable martial artist than I, and I still will act with (admittedly quite arrogant) hostility if he is not acting in a logical manner and openly challenge threats he gives me, which used to result in lessons in something called “hu-mil-i-ty”, whatever that is. On a more serious note, he stopped doing that once he realized it made me more defiant of his flawed logic. Oh well, that’s just my input on ENTPs valuing physical prowess
@𝒏𝒐𝒏𝒚 𝒄𝒉𝒂𝒏 damn, I’m actually 8w7. Astute observation
Great one. Yet again! 👏👏👏👏👏👏
As a INFJ I am intrigued by both these types…. Yet I haven’t met either in my life… definitely haven’t dated one yet. Just waiting for those ENxP ladies to seek me out or even those guys that wanna be friends!
Plus, because I'm an enneagram 2, I'm very different from most ENFPs. I have a little more introverted thinking than most ENFPs. But we are all different.
I am an enneagram 5,3,7 and i am pretty différent to all the enfp i meet it's not easy
If you have Time tell me about your journey

Enfp through and through 💖
I’m probably more confused than before)))
thanks so much for explaining! im entp its true
Me and my friend always test ourselves every 3 months and it's always been INFP for me and ENFP for her but her latest results said ENTP so she did a few more tests and they're all saying ENTP now! I don't understand why because they are so different!
Now I’m wondering if I’m an enfp or entp
Edit: nvm I’m an entp. I’m allergic to rules
Superhelfull!!! Bye, bye doubts, entp. I value both justice and authenticity, but if I have to be strategic for justice I'll just be, it might make me inconfortable from an ethical point of view, but I'll do it without blincking.
More ENFP please
ENFP stand out from your description: Strength, standing firm. I will not be knocked down.
Thank you for this video
You are so well spoken. Can you give me a little advice? I teeter totter between these two and they are so clearly different but they are both clearly me depending on mood.
I would say I’m the perfect 50/50. What’s your opinion on that?
Think I'm INFJ. I'd love to be a little more ENTP/ENFP.

Okay I was enfp now I'm entp
thanks for helping me finding myself
Excellent
im an entp but why do i relate to the 4:16 i always ask ppl abt what they thingking abt something although i already know the answer, but i always argue with them when their answer is not the same with my answer, or if i 100% dont know abt something, asking to 1 person is not enough for me, even if 1 person already give me an answer that is i really believe im still gonna ask to more ppl to just see whats the other answer, is that mean if im an enfp ?
Well now I know that I entp Because my friend is enfp compared what you were saying with my friend's personality and my personality and everything you said is true about her and me
Why? Why did I miss this?
So after watching this video - 5 days ago - I started doubting my whole ENFP self.
I'm not sure if I'm bring unhealthy right now but I watched every ENTP video I could find and it's like...
All of a sudden, I don't just tick 98% of the boxes... I tick 100% of them.
How in the name of all things holy can I go from ENFP to ENTP?
I know they feel so similar but they're also very different... Well right now... I *know* nothing.
So I took Erik's test on his website more than once these past couple of days and I'm lost. I typed differently each time and nowhere close to ENFP or ENTP.
Please help me.
Other sites give me ENFP most times although I've had ISTP 👀 once, INTJ once (I wish), INFP (between 3 - 5 times) and ENFJ. Never once ENTP or even INFJ.
I'm lost. Can any ENTP just like put a list in here in Point Format and just be straightforward?
*Like:*
° I don't sleep
° I love research
° I don't care about your degree, if I had the time and patience, I'd probably do it better than you, so stop talking, start doing.
° Let's not argue any further because you're not seeing my point. Bring the crayons, I'll draw you a picture. If you still don't get it, we'll... I tried.
° What? No I'm not saying you're stupid, just listen to me... If this is green, and this is blue... Then it's obvious that the missing part is yellow?!
*Yes*
Nooooooo, it could be sea green or some kind of an Aquamarine type of thing... Nothing is obvious! Think!
*Okay then, No*
OMG you're so gullible. Pick a side and stick to it so I know what's happening in your head so I can plan this whole damn argument whichever way it goes. It doesn't matter if you go off-script... I'll still be able to think on the spot but seriously, I don't like people who switch sides all the time. Be who you want, just stick to it. I hear what you say and I watch what you do and trust me, I pick up on every little thing...
Hm, I can tell you a few of my traits I see as very ENTPish, if it's interesting to you.
@@julyol119 Please do. I'd love to learn more. Anything concrete would be great.
I'm an ENFP and I love my ENTP boyfriend :)
I think if you mixed an ESFP and ENTP in one entity, you would get ENFP. Like we can be rational and logical, but we also secretly sense the room and people despite the inferior Si. We're too stupid and people-pleasing for ENTP's but too logical and analytical for ESFP's hahahah.
If I think you should do what you want as long as you ain’t hurting anyone but I also no random facts and like debating does that make me enforce or entombed
Idk. I kind of do all of what he said. But I test enfp every time o take the test
Ok i just listened to the first reason im 1000% sure im an ENFP...
Because I lack introverted thinking, it's difficult for me to logically explain anything. I change my ways of communication with logical types like INTPs. I find those types always need concrete evidence to my abstract thinking. But your test revealed I'm an INTP when I am under stress.
It's the how it works, instead if the why. Like I know the why, then I have to learn the how the concrete, logical factual information lines up to my why. You can learned so much from introverted thinking types, although you can learn from everyone.
I simply can't understand why people aren't true to themselves. Why should you live in a state of self deception? Don't you know your deceiving yourself and living a lie. My opinion only.
Does that make sense? Lol.
Respectfully, it sounds to me like the descriptions here are the same, but with different vernacular selections.
In my experience(s), people with Integrity & Honor do what is Fair & Just.
And, everyone thinks/feels they're using logic to defend their/our positions whence transgressed upon.
We all make the mistake of confusing Objective/Subjective when it comes to feels.
But is...
*IS.*
Don't believe me?
Jump out of an airplane without a parachute & try to fly, then land softly cuz you feel like you can.
I.E. Whether or not that logic is flawed, well, there resides the key distinction.
I'm even more confused (between these two types) than when I clicked 😵💫😂
I did make a second video on this, feel free to check it out and let me know which you found better! :)
@@ErikThor
Sup ET!?
Thanks for responding Bro 💪🏼😎
I edited my comment.
Feedback?
🤔🙏🏼
@@Heart.headed Truth is we are all the same, just different perspectives, indeed the words themselves are not so important, its up to the person to find an interpretation that helps them in their practical life. Language is a problem here: We think we mean the same things with the same words but we usually grossly misunderstand one another. So context and situation is everything. And you have to try to get into examples. Archetypes and the mbti are just a tool, objectively meaningless, but can be useful to navigate the complexity of psychology. :)
tell me you're Swedish without telling me.....
I just watched this video but.... Seriously guy why you put one as an angel and the other as a devil?? That is not fair!! Would you have done the opposite and put the other one as angel and the 1st as a devil it would be not fair either!
Yes it's easily guessable I'm ENTP 😂
BPD vs NPD
i m still confused
ENTFP then
Though I'm an ENFP, I do have 2 of the 5 ENTP values. But I seem to have 4 out 5 ENFP values XD
Can some one summarise the video?
Sure! It was great 😊
This doesn't help at all.🤷 I'm not like eather of these types as you described them.
YUSTICE
ENFPs are so lame - said ENTP
still confused
same bro
Idk maybe I’m a enftp lol
entp
name gives it away
I disagree about authenticity for ENFP and keeping value regardless of the society. I tend to see them as society driven values with some flexibility. However, their authenticity with their beliefs is activated rarely when they are away from the society living their own world.
What? Living in their own world? Enfps, and entps alike live in abstract land. 😂 Enfps are the Robinhoods, real fighters for justice! And, our beliefs and values are always activated. We are alll about the win win, maybe you are speaking of an immature enfp. Yeah, as we mature, we keep it real, 180, and we only connect deeply, with others who do. God bless! 💜

I always confuse enfp as ENTP too, but gradually I find them more illogical than me
