ENTP
Enterprising explorer
ENTP personality types are strategic, adaptable, energetic and enthusiastic. They are creative problem‑solvers who often think innovatively, spot connections and patterns in complex systems, and enjoy developing strategies. ENTPs are keen to seize new opportunities as they arise.
People with ENTP preferences may sometimes hesitate to make decisions and can get excited about ideas that may not be realistic due to time or resource constraints. They may also have a tendency to challenge both their own and others’ ideas a little too vigorously.
ENTPs value a good debate – their communication style is typically challenging yet inspiring.
