Are You Ready to Start a PhD as an ENTP?
Four years ago, I left my PhD program. I remember the desperation of pouring over my hodgepodge of completed classes, trying to puzzle together an exit strategy. The peace that came after discovering that I didn't have to wait another semester to graduate with my...
ENTP vs INTP in social interaction
Okay guys, so I know I’ve been away for over 3 years, and I suppose you shouldn’t be too surprised – that’s what ENTPs do. That said – looks like I’m back, with some new ideas to share with you, & today I want to share a quick way to distinguish ENTPs from INTPs...
Dungeons and Dragons. Just Try It.
Due to years and years of (admittedly funny) jokes and jabs, the classic Dungeons and Dragons has developed a hyper-nerdy stigma. And yes, while it is partially deserved, there’s so much more to it than that. It’s a hobby that can be wildly fun for ENTPs if just given...
Hobby-jumping: Steer into the skid!
So, I know I’ve tried 2 hobbies this week. I’ve been going on street bike rides all week, and last night around 1 o’clock, I was sitting in my desk chair with a pair of needle nose pliers, some thin wire, a wire cutter, and some tiny glass bottles from the last time I...
Burned out? MBTI can help you cope
I had no idea burn-outs are contagious. But that’s the only explanation I can come up with for the staggering amount of friends I’ve seen suffering from it this year. And while watching them struggle made me feel crushed and...
Battling Hyperdrive Ne Insomnia
Okay guys, sorry, sorry, sorry. In true ENTP-fashion I got completely distracted by other projects and life in general and so this blog has been quite empty for a while. But there is this one topic sitting in my mind that’s been on my mind for quite a while. That’s Ne...
Getting shit done in 2017 or How To be Organized as ENTP
Less than a week till a new year starts, and though it’s a rather arbitrary moment to develop new resolutions, plenty of people still do it. For many ENTPs, one of the most important resolutions of 2017 (and frankly each year before that) is Get shit done. Follow...
Communication between ENTP and -S-types: how to
Nobody likes talking more than ENTPs. That being said, we might seem utterly bored listening to your account of your day at work, gossips or news about sports or politics. In my experience, this can cause problems especially if you have Se high in your stack. We don’t...
The Butterfly Effect or Why Your ENTP Hates Lying
Last week I was too busy writing other stuff, and I actually wanted to tell you all about it today, but a different topic came to mind and it's so important I've decided to write about that one instead: ENTP's ideas of trust and lying. My personal trust pattern goes a...
Do ENTP ever use lists?
One of the most common misconceptions about ENTPs is that we don’t use lists. You know, stuff like task lists. Being a huge fan of lists (and currently mastering the art of bullet journaling) I’ve been wondering if this trait of mine was characteristically non-ENTP....
On ENTPs and vulnerability
There was this one situation, several years back. I was hanging out with some friends I considered my best friends. By that time, we've known each other for I think 7 years or so and we started talking about our significant others and I said I would accept any S/O...
The most important thing when picking a job
Whenever I check out ENTP blogs and discussion boards, one of the questions that pops up a LOT is this: how do I choose the right career? Now the reason most ENTPs struggle with this question is twofold: We’re good at finding connections between seemingly unrelated...
Christine
Hi all, like many of you, I've been an ENTP my whole life. I have experienced the pleasure of changing my major several times, quitting a PhD, starting (but not finishing) a novel, and finding a career that actually suits me. I'm here to share the outcomes that come from NeTi decisions with hope that my journey will help you discover (or avoid) your own interesting path. Thanks for being here; if you like my stuff hit me up @forsakingfaith on Twitter, don't mind the podcast, it's an old passion project! Much Love
Also, I do love coffee - Cheers!
