@@calebcarpenter9490 Every time! Younger generations of people think it's some sort of social faux pas, but as the generation that pioneered online interactions we don't really care. :P -Antonia p.s. I'm going to like this one, too.
If you think the harmonizing one was hard to imagine at 15 imagine it at 8 with a boy 😅 although I try to diversify myself and become more accepting of that more domineering side that I know I have, my preference has always been this and I'm pretty positive alot has to do with the fact I was raised and cared for by woman who had little to no male oversight or support
I seem to allign to the ENTP type although I still have my doubts. From what I can recall from my past, I would say there was a transition between all of these. Starting with creative when young, going in to dominant during teen years, switching to normalizing in my early twenties and transitioning to harmonizing in my late twenties. It is very amusing that you brought up the project management position as an example of something possible but not coming naturally to the harmonizing subtype. I recently chose to enter this position because I felt my lack of skills in this area held me back from actualising my vision. I even chose to do so in a highly regulated and restrictive environment in a huge multinational. So there is a very strong regulation and corporation aspect to it, which require the skills I'm actually worst at. Placing myself in that environment, utilising my inherent desire of overcoming the challenge, I try to force myself to improve these skills. Basically tricking myself to ignore the discomfort of these restrictions by creating strong drive. But it does seem to have some serious backlash doing it this way, it seems like this abuses your dopaminergic system to subdue the serotonergic which can lead to "falling in a pit" when the dopamine rush wanes.

I’m an ENTP woman. Growing up I was trained into the harmonising ENTP, and very much had to lean away from “male qualities” to get ahead. I trained myself out of that and the dominant ENTP sounds spot on. Today I can switch between harmonising or dominant depending on what will get me the results I need. For interest, I’m self employed - an advertising director, musician, speaker, and currently teaching myself AI and how it will affect humanity’s problems in mental health.
I'm a videographer for example but right now I'm more internal startup consultant in terms of strategy and company development from the backseat. and marketing specialist Knowledge books I have been reading for many years helped me come up with different solutions. People respect me for problem-solving skills usually technical... right now I am thinking about shifting my career to Data analytics things and also I'm developing remote viewing skills 😂
I was thinking these same thoughts as I was watching. I feel I switch between 3 of the types based on the time of the month. Something else to think about is the affect of a partner/spouse on these types. Ex. An ENTJ Partner I had (before he listened to me and went to therapy) made me act in a hyper assertive way vs. my ISFJ Partner who was so kind and soft allowed me to regulate my emotions better allowing me to switch between my types appropriately
Years ago I chose engineering because I was bad at math, ended up being very good at it, loving math and physics but bored of the career. The thrill of the challenge
Same here, got into Comp Sci and Data Analytics just cuzz I am bad at maths, but the whole process of sitting in front of a screen all day everyday, regularly put in high amounts of cognitive effort kinda sucked the life out of me and got me depressed
Same here... Im Full stack and can do UI Engineering .. but learned cloud, apis, etc but work as a UX Research and Design LOL Makes no sense. Can workflow an entire app or an algorithm , make no dif to me.
Good heavens, do you know me??? I’m a normalizing ENTP who is 50 something and plays DND every week and loves the crap out of some cosplay!! 😂 Before I joined my weekly game, I was losing my mind trapped in a 40 hour a week job that worked for me in so many ways, but that sucked away my soul without that outlet. Now, I’m in a very good place, exploring my other sides from a stable foundation. Thank you, DND!!
The man I love sounds like a Dominant ENTP, he oozes testosterone from my perspective. I’m a harmonizing ISTP, he said I’m the most emotional person he’s ever met. Im hoping he will one day learn about my Fe Inferior instead of just thinking I have “BPD traits.” When I cry, he has a difficult time with that, he’s used to women crying as a form of manipulation. But when I tell him it’s not his fault and he didn’t hurt me, he calms down immediately and he’s able to give me a lot of compassion and sensitivity. I’ve never felt all that I feel with anybody else before. It’s on a spiritual level.
17:13 As a dominant ENTP, I highly recommend exploring the field of physiotherapy to anyone with a keen interest in biology, especially in the medical field. There is so much to learn that you'll never be bored. I've been cycling between subfields such as nutrition science, manual therapy, sports medicine, psychotherapy, and more. You can also choose an inner specialization, ranging from common ones like orthopedic physiotherapist to obscure ones like diabetic or orthodontic physiotherapist. In the private sector, each patient is like a new mystery to solve, and conducting tests before, during, and after procedures to track symptom changes can provide frequent dopamine boosts. Despite sometimes starting my day on a challenging note, I often find myself even more energized by the end of my workday. After three years in the private sector, I'm preparing to open my own clinic. Thankfully, I have the support of my INFJ fiancée and my family for the little things that can make or break success.
I think I'm actually the harmonizing subtype. It's funny hearing yall talk about estrogen as the neurotransmitter of that type, because for years I've realized that in many ways I'm more androgenous than most men in terms of how my brain is wired. I'm straight, and I come across as masculine and all that, but I've always noticed that my priorities and desires are often more aligned with how women think than men. Things like: I've always been much more interested in emotionally bonding women than in sex (I love sex but I crave emotional connection). I've never liked competition. I've always been very people-oriented. My mom has told me many times that even as a baby/small child I was always very easy going, go with the flow, and oriented toward people-pleasing behavior. I think that for me, the hormonizing subtype was something I was born with, not so much something I was socialized into. I bet the harmonizing subtype is the one that will struggle most with boundaries. I have spent a lot of my life trying to learn how to externally present as something you would recognize as the dominant subtype, and that has shifted more toward a creative style expression as I've gotten older, but it's always been the harmonizing subtype internally. Edit: Oh my Gosh, just heard the closing comment about mistyping as INFP... For several years I was convinced I was INFP.... Wow okay
Amazing work! ENTP here, entrepreneur & entrepreneurial mentor, holistic health coach, and just started a Human Resource Advisor position. It all fits so well with the way I am wired. Beautiful! I love being an ENTP 🥰🙌
Great chapter. I am a creative ENTP, i like caos, possibilities and inventions. I am a teacher in schools of art and technology, and i am a board game designer with 3 games published and i organize and teach board game related events.
Such a good resource! I am a Normalizing ENTP that worked as a technical manager at a Fortune 75 company, I thought I was an introvert until I realized I LOVE public speaking. Now I am a podcaster and do standup comedy for fun expressing heavily my Creative ENTP side. I do miss the structure of a regular dayjob, sometimes, but the scaffolding I created while working corporate is still holding up 😉
I've taken the myers briggs personality type test multiple times through out my life. When I was younger in high school I was a INFP. After school I became a ENFP. Later on when I went through a rough spot I discovered I became a ENTP. Life has proved to me your personality is fluid and shaped by what goes on around you.
@@radioktiver_boomerang Yes you can mistype, I did too. But this comment is saying "It's crazy how one can change in a life/ i BECAME another type" or something. No, you just didn't understand yourself well. +Took wacky online tests.
Right on ! Excellent. As a dominant ENTP female career dedicated, stein work ethic, compassionate “ medical hospital nerd” Nurse Practitioner - I am exactly all that you explain. I specialize in geriatric chronic conditions, cardiology, infectious diseases- complex diagnoses conditions I can “see” the complexity how everything connects. It’s a gift. My creativity is optimized via my life ling hobby and pursuit of home improvement and interior decorating. I’m married to an ENFP because he is the only man type that “gets me” - our home is a bit chaotic yet never a dull moment and filled with ideas and adventure. I can identify with all the subtypes and suspect this due to maturity age 65 with long term career in nursing folllwed by medical provider education, long hours of passionate commitment to my medical practice and patient population. Thank you for this education’
Loved this episode - glad for what you said at the end because with each one, there was some part I STRONGLY identified with. I am in marketing after having two degrees (and a brief career) in music. Within that track, I have been both a Creative Director and a Marketing Strategist and have been largely self-taught (originally to supplement a music career that flipped to be primary when we had kids). At this point in my life, I have had to be each of those and now access them at different times. I am dominant with many of my clients, creative in my personal life, normalizing in my working alone style, and harmonizing with co-workers. Used to be more dominant with coworkers, but now work for a company with a LOT of dominant types and have found value in hanging back, hearing everyone's approach, and then doing the mic drop with the solution that brings the best of all together (LOVE that). Still, when no one speaks up, I will be the first to speak rather than face the uncomfortable silence of a Zoom call where no one has any ideas. Also, as a CD I definitely found myself more the mentor/leader type than the manager type - I don't like being told WHAT to do, so I usually ascribed a similar perspective to my designers and writers. Later I learned that some of them truly did want me to tell them WHAT to do...🤷Also, when I consider dominance - I think of it more as the dominance of logic rather than the dominance of my perspective. If someone has a more logical solution I am happy to go with it, but there are those who would say that I build such a wall of dominant reasoning that picking it apart to disagree with me isn't worth the time. 😆
Windy road traveller here. ✋️😅 I think I'm more creative naturally. I became more harmonizing with friends, and dominant when I need to be at work. I'm definitely what you describe at 22:50 😊
pretty eye opening. been following mbti stuff since my university days and this is the first time i've heard of these subtypes. the past few years i'd been wondering why i still kept typing as entp because the more life experience i've gotten, the more i feel like i fit better into typical descriptions of INxJ types. after watching your video i definitely find myself in the normalizing subtype, where i felt like you called me out when you mentioned reserved, linguistics (my bachelor's), and ops management. however, i find myself gravitating more and more toward the harmonizing type, especially in my personal life, when antonia mentioned "not just listening for content but listening to match that information into broad theoretical frameworks," which specifically the reason i keep thinking that i belong in INxJ. so so so insightful, thanks so much
The podcast is spectacular! I am an ENTP woman here. This is the first time that I am hearing that ENTP has sub-types. I am a little confused. I carefully listened to the 4 options, and I seem to generally be a Dominant type ENTP. I love marketing, I love presenting things in front of an audience and I love solving people-problems and making life easier for them in altruistic way. I also like management posistions, hahah. ;) But you say Dominant ENTP is connected to testosterone and that has me confused. Like, it's the dominant type more for males, and the harmonizing type is for females? Can i be a Dominant Womant ENTP? Secondly - my other confusion. I seem to exhibit bits and peieces of all the types. I am also 23 years old if that helps in any way. 1. As already mentioned - I have the enterprenurial spirit of Dominant ENTP and can very easily sell stuff to people. 2. Just like the Creative - I also have several projects running at once. Furthermore, ever since I was a child, I've considered myself an artist. It's like a major part of my personality, buuut.... I don't identify with the Mad Scientist type? At the same time I'm not 100% Creative type, because I am focused, I keep a plan of the day and the week, I am organised for an ENTP and I do show up on time (as much as an ENTP is capable of that haha) 3. Just like the Normalising ENTP - my first university degree is Journalism and I LOVE it. I consider myself a good writer, I am published, for now they are shorter-form texts. One day I am certain that I will publish my own novel, it's a dream of mine. So yeah, I have the patience for writing. BUT here comes the contradiction - what you described for the normalising type is that they can be 9 to 5 employees in a established business or big company. The thing is that working in a cubicle for a big corporation absolutely TERRIFIES me and I very dramatically think that I'd rather die than work for a big corp. Sooooo.... That means I'm not Normalising ENTP, right? I lean more Dominant ENTP. 4. Finally, the harmonizing ENTP - I read like this one the LEAST, I think and here comes the question. The thing is, I absolutely love spirituality and astrology and I read QUITE a lot about these subjects as a hobby and as a part of my knowledge base. Also, one of the jobs I've held in the past was being an English teacher for small children ages 8-9. I had a fantastic relationship with the children and I LOVED working with them. I love children in general and I am very feminine and motherly. I also like teaching in a way that it is presenting stuff in front of an audience. But I don't really intuitively feel like a harmonising ENTP??? I guess, in conclusion, I am a rare ENTP Woman, who leans in the even more Rare masculine testosterone Dominant ENTP category probably 60% of the time. In the other 40% of the time I change roles and tap into the other sub-types in these capacities: 15% Creative, 15% Harmonizing and 10% Normalizing. I just want to know if that is possible and if I'm on the right path with my theory. :) Sorry for the long comment and thanks for reading. :) Once again, I really enjoyed the podcast! Great content! It's just that it's my first time here and I had some questions. :D
The harmonizing ENTP discussion is very helpful and is the best succinct explanation for how Ne/Ti operates in me that I have ever heard. I was actually emotionally touched by the description of "Energized by deep passion and broad principles." Also the Estrogen relationship helps me better conceptualize my relationship to femininity. It's interesting as a cis het guy to have always felt i better understood feminine energy than masculine energy. A thousand times I have been like, what is this not-typically-male thing going on in me and why am i not gay or transgender? It's been really fun in my 30s to get in touch with my own masculinity but i had no understanding of it until about 29. Me, Harmonizing straight male entp in corporate America: keep track of my female colleagues', friends', fiance's, and sisters' menstrual cycles and advise them on the best kind of work for them to be doing based on the type of energy they typically have in different times in their cycle, and typically am able to tell them when they are about to start getting cramps or might feel a little off. Can't tell you how many times I've said "hey take Tylenol and drink a lot of water today" and a friend is like "really? I don't think I'm about to start my period" and then like 6 hours later "oh you were right" lol One of the reasons I do this is because I have noticed women have an ability to accomplish different things based on the different days of their cycle, though the degree to which this is the case varies from person to person and month to month. But for example: connecting with new people and influencing/seducing/persuading on days 6-15, quickly identifying unacceptable problems on day 24-28 and pushing with real muscle for important fixes, reviewing and evaluating things on days 3-6, remembering themselves on day 1 and 2 ... I also think that the Harmonizing type as described her does sound pretty wise/older as Joel said at first glance, but its also totally possible to imagine younger people with holistic Ne and Ti and then extrapolate what that may look like. For me it was like, journaling regularly as a teenager, studying myself and others a lot, and taking my then religion super seriously, basically treating spiritual (religious in this case) development as the most important thing in my life even when it was perhaps not age appropriate to do so. And also noticing the deep differences between myself and other boys -- especially their intense physicality / competitiveness / things like boxing/wrestling/beating up little brothers that just did not make much sense to me. My journals are littered with confusion about boys haha.
23:23 I'm a creative ENTP and I'm either doing or have done everything you just suggested. I just did a study of 60 top comedians. #1 type with 14 out of the 60 was the ENTP. That's 23.333% were the average for 16 types is 6.25% yet we are only about 2.6% of the population which I intuitively knew we would be highly over represented in the comedy industry. 2nd was the ENFP with 11 out of 60 but they are over 7% and 3X more common than ENTPs so there is something to this.
As ENTP I wondered often what subtype could I be. Watching this I could say I'm all of them: 1. Normalizing, where I started in my 20s to study Linguistics to find common ground within a Institution. 2. Creative, I studied Arts too and began to find out how to work as entrepreneur. So I needed to come up with Ideas fast. I train this Feature all time through kognitive science. 3. Dominant, I thought often I have to be ENTJ, cause to my dominant behaviour, working and managing as a employee in a concern, where I needed to be that way. 4. Harmonizing, Now I get older and left my company I want to understand others more and help them by guiding them. Therefore I must overcome my dominant personality trait. So far, everything in this vid is absolutly correct!
After searching and searching, I finally realized I am a dominant ENTP (not an ENTJ, as I thought). Here are some reasons. The ENTP dominant and the ENTJ are both personality types that share some common traits, such as: They are both extroverted, intuitive, and thinking types, which means they are outgoing, creative, and logical. They both enjoy exploring new ideas, perspectives, and possibilities, and are not afraid to challenge the status quo or the authority. They both value competence, efficiency, and achievement, and are confident, decisive, and strategic. They both have a playful and witty sense of humor, and can use their logic and charisma to persuade others.
I've been in UX Design for almost a decade and worked under a few umbrella positions, specifically research & strategy roles that helped me ground myself and ask questions before starting something. I still have that touch to get stuff done fast or push the pedal down, but only once the collective assumptions have been identified.
Looking forward to this one! As a harmonizing ENTP i'm trying to get some acces to my dominant ENTP side through the normilizing part. I like my harmozing side and the opennes and people skills it brings, but i think my carreer would really benefit from some more of the analytical sides of my cognitive functions. Any chance for some extra tips on that in this or future podcasts? Thnx guys! Edit: (I'm an maintenance/reliability engineer by the way)
Unbelievable: I've been trying to figure out if I'm an ENTJ or an ESTP for 2 years; I am enneagram 8w7. I'm clearly extroverted, thinker and assertive (my Te and Ti are very high). Sometimes I have thought: what if I am someone in between: ESTJ or ENTP?... I think that today you have given me the answer: "dominant ENTP". I feel very identified with everything you have said until the 25th minute. Thank you!!! ;-)
I was listening so hard when she was about to list off the common things that would suit a creative ENTP. And I can't believe how accurate it was. She started to list them off. And being a film director and very confident in my ability , maybe painfully over confident to some. I was waiting to hear what she listen off. and lowe and behold she landed on Quentin tarantino . One person I look at often as a familiar personality that I can't shake. When I listen to him it's like hearing myself speak and it was annoying until now. I would get jealous in a way because I felt like something telling me that's what I was meant for as well. So now after learning about personality types, it does make sense why I gravitate towards these fields. I've been a photographer, graphic designer, videographer and now director. Which took a long jourey in figuring out.
So interesting! I think naturally I'm a creative subtype but because I'm in management right now I've been acting more like the harmonizing subtype. Don't get me wrong, I love building my staff up and having deep and engaging discussions with them, but I'm trying to create my own department in the company so I can just do more creative stuff and don't have to be a manager anymore 😂
I am a 26 year old male ENTP with a strong lifelong bent towards the harmonizing subtype, sometimes floating around creative. It took me months of obsession with typology to understand that O am an ENTP, because I didn’t identify with the archetype. Now that I understand the systems from a mechanical standpoint, I am fairly confident in my conclusion. I was raised by a single ISFJ mother, throughout my childhood I was told, verbatim, “You will never have friends if you keep debating”. Ne was also discouraged, of course. I don’t have any I’ll will towards my mother, she was only trying her best, but you can understand what this did to a young ENTP. I learned to argue by asking questions and I learned to place more emphasis on Fe because of my mothers influence. My “mental image” of Ti can be transversed on many scales, everything connects if I zoom out far enough I’ve created a Ti framework that places massive emphasis on “spiritualism” and emotions. I don’t make decisions with feelings, but I know where art truly comes from.
I've been thinking for a while now that I'm an ENTJ, with high introverted thinking, tending towards ENTP or another kind of XXTP type. Today, analyzing various issues, I have realized that "introverted thinking" is my most important function, so I have to be an XXTP type... I have watched the video and it appears that the dominant ENTP can be mistaken for an ENTJ or an ESTJ. I think it is my case
I think I'm ENTP, and I went from construction work in my teens to fast food in my 20s, to now in my 30s I have a PhD in biochemistry and biophysics. I find myself going further and further down this career path of medical research, but I honestly don't want a career. I want a job. I enjoyed the academic process, exploring ideas as a student, but the specialization required for medical research goes against that Ne function. I don't have the atttention span to keep reading more and more papers on the same topic for years on end.
Female ENTP, definitely lean towards the dominant subtype. I have learned some of the skills of the normalizing subtype as I’ve gotten older and have more life experience. My main career has been as a lead aircraft dispatcher. The more challenging, chaotic and busy the better.
That’s funny. I identify as the dominant creative type. I work from home as a creative and I also have a corporate position. Both descriptions definitely define my day to day. I’m pretty serious when working at my corporate job and once I’m home, I’m a spaz 😂
ENTP, I am a Full-Stack Engineer and Designer.. Can plan, strategize, design and build an app by myself.. learned for fun lol Ask me if I have ever done it... nope. Even though I have the skill set.. I have been unable to go from a-z lol
Holy shit! I am a Marketing Manager turned entrepreneur. That list was hella accurate. Apart from a Real Estate broker. I would never do that even if I am starving ngl.
That's interesting. I seem to fit the profile for an harmonizing entp. I simultaneously worked various secular jobs in hospitality management, while doing pastoral care, specializing in mental health. Best of all worlds.
I'm sure there are ENTP's out there with some kind of ideal career, but that's definitely not me. I've just continued to fall into things and it turns out I'm really good at them and I keep getting promoted. Hooray?
More useful information: The ENTP dominant is a subtype of the ENTP personality type, based on the combination of assertiveness and playfulness. The ENTP dominant is assertive, playful, and innovative, and uses extroverted intuition and extroverted thinking as his main cognitive functions. Extroverted thinking (Te) is the process that helps the ENTP dominant organize and implement his ideas, as well as persuade and influence others.
An ENTP can apply for a job they are wildly unqualified for and assume they will figure it out as they go, succeed in it, and then get bored at 6 months after the thrill of the kill is gone. 💯 Story of my life before 30. I just wanted to see if I could do it. 😅
As an ENTP I would probably be a great lawyer, but I don't see the point in having paperwork if I know I just need to be placed in a job and I can excel. Also, the problem with me personally is that although I am a debater ENTP I have a strong moral compass and I can't defend someone I know without certainty is guilty.
Ok, that makes sense now cause I retook the test 2 weeks ago and I was very low perceiving, almost turning into judging which then would make me entj but that's cause I was thinking about how I be at work. Turns out that might be the dominant subtype in me 😂 And I've been an ENTP for the past 3 tests i took including this one, the time before this was almost exactly a year ago, but each time I get closer to the judging side, probably cause I'm getting older and again how I be at work 🤣 I'll be 29 in 5 months I've only ever taken the Myers Briggs test, so I don't use anything else to really find out though 👀 but i really resonate with ENTP
I identify with all of these subtypes! At different stages in my life I feel like I've gravitated to the most appropriate one of these modalities. It feels like these are more like the 'seasons' of the ENTP. Especially if they are tied to neurotransmitters, we are are all responsive to all of these and they will be emphasised more or less by our life context right? I imagine that you become a lot more estrogen driven after having a child, or more testosterone sensitive if you're in a competitive environment.
Sounds like I'm the dominant assertive subtype but also creative. Haha I love to talk(which is prob why I'm on youtube teaching horticulture) and am Def into entrepreneurship. Always tested as an Entj tho so it makes sense why I was so confused
Well I’m an entp and I’m confused I can only say that I’m entp that have quarter of each subtype which is not objective opinion and I know 😂 it’s subjective assessment but I can talk about my own experience and it’s as follow : I started school with high grades in every subject that I studied and the expectations was math and science but then in my high school I get really good at math especially with statistics and it’s subjects which involve math and calculus and I also get good with science especially in biology and chemistry but in the end of my high school I turned into lazy easy path of study literature and psychology and politics and religion and history and geography and logic which was so easy to understand and remember that make me score even better with my gpa so I can go to college easily but deep down I know that I wanted science and math but that’s what happened when you are in country that want to be something you don’t want so you can get better jobs and life in general , so then I want to study four things in college either religion or politics or psychology or law which in the end I choose because it has the best jobs in my country ( salary wise ) and I actually feel in love with law and I wanted to be detective or work in prosecution but that didn’t happen , which made me sad then I practiced law as lawyer for very short period of time which I didn’t like because of the biocracy of the system then I became legal researcher in the ministry of industry and commerce which made me at first sad but then it became my job for the last three years and it’s getting better because I was very grounded and okay with 9-5 job lifestyle but in my first year I studied masters in law which I’ve finally finished because i want my career to be in academia, but even though I want this career and I really want to start my phd degree to become a professor in law college but in the past to years I started doubting my career path and want to change it to entrepreneurship which I actually want now and I did start a small business and a small company with my brother and my friend which it about an app that I’m really excited and interested in doing and growing to be international business “ I hope “ it least but the down side about it is that we are a bit lazy and I really want to start my phd degree but don’t have the time for it “ I want to be in academia and entrepreneurship “ I know I wrote a big response but that is a really small brief about myself and know I want to know which subtype you think I’m ?❤
Very good INFO! I think I'm a dominant with a little bit of creative, used to be harmonizing in my teens because I wanted to be liked and couldn't say no to people and got me in a lot of stupid situations. I'm an accountant because I'm analytical and HAD to stick with something from all my ideas and commit, now I'm bored of it and I'm wandering where to make the gear to....😅 learned MBTI on my own, lerned psychology and self development on my own had a COACHING course, now I'm interrested in the medical sience of naturopathy and my brain just wants to f***ing know everything and absorb every info :)))) so i'm considering going to med school for that.... 😅 just... young and restless 😅😅😅
I initially thought I wouldn't be a dominant ENTP because I don't like to debate and argue with people for no reason like the stereotype of ENTPs. But I might fit into the dominant category. I'm a research scientist in pediatric genetics and absolutely think outside of the box, get things done, and am very motivated by the human aspect of the work I do. If my work isn't at least indirectly helping people, I feel a lack of purpose. I want to apply to an MD PhD program soon. One of my biggest struggles in this is figuring out what specialty I want to commit my entire career to. I'm already in genetics, but I want to consider immunology or infectious disease. Can I connect those specialties? How could I do this? Etc.
Started off as a business analyst, went on to be a facilitator, then a software developer and finally a self employed illustrator for books and games. Guess I can relate to 3 of those subtypes but the dominant entp leaves me cold. Why would you want to be that jerk? Oh hell I'm self employed, 'the dominant entrepeneur' - I am that jerk !
Hello, I have a question if that's okay! I looove PH's work thanks to its depth and applicability. I would like to purchase the ENTP Owner's Manual but I wanted to ask if it contains never before seen content, or if it's mostly compiled from all the podcasts and videos (which there's nothing wrong with - I've learnt the hard way in my life that to not reinvent the wheel can be wise 😆) which I've already deep dived into. If so, I still love PH's work and will still support it in other ways - probably by buying a different course on the PH website, as I'm an ENTP and find anything fascinating! But just wanted to double check if possible :)
Can astrology be connected to the personality types? Because I'm an aries sun, Sagittarius rising and capricorn moon and those traits relates to being an entp in a lot of ways 👀🤔

It was a great video. But want to point out that the test on your homepage can newer spot a entp. Have you never tested your test if it can find the personality types? And no it's your test that is shity, do something about it. It's better to take don your test than that your test misslabel people! But to your defence, most MBTI tests are quite shitty. Test your questions on real people ald let them talk and then it would be quite obvious that your test will miss a lot
No not really. Whereas a horoscope puts the causality on the external source (when you were born and the positioning of celestial bodies) MBTI is more a taxonomy of what already exists. In a horoscope world you do _______ because you are a _______. In an MBTI world it says we notice a certain percentage of people prefer X so we call them (taxonomy) a XXXX. It is naming and classifying an observed thing. In taxonomy, you say "That's a bird" - the bird doesn't change its nature because you say it's a bird - it just is, the description only exists to assign common elements to all birds so that we can understand them better - what do they eat, how do they function, what is their healthy state. It doesn't change WHAT the bird is - it just describes it. That is MBTI. It is in fact the very OPPOSITE of horoscope which says the external influences of your birth dictated what you would be - that's like saying we only make birds on Mondays...
Dominant - human problems, good at everything, more assertive, leadership, they like to assist, the desire of high scale influence. Testosterone. Creative - a lot less serious about their career, they need grounding exercises, they have their heads in the clouds, doing a lot of things at the same time, they know a lot of stuff, they have more get things going style. They are best at brainstorming- quick and creative ideas. They are the weakest at being practical. They are good at Promoting, making deals. Professions : Comedians,’marketing specialist, critic, RUclips host, graphic design, podcasting. Quentin Tarantino. Chasing dopamine. Normalising - they are more grounded, they are more comfortable with structures, they are more likely to observe and they are better listeners. More okay with institutions, they tricked themselves into being more organised. They are good at spotting weaknesses in the institutions. Business or analysts, project management, they have the patience for writing. Seratonin. Normalising is the opposite to creative. They have to have a hobby otherwise they will have unhealthy forms of escape. They are good project managers. Harmonising - an older version of ENTP, they are energized by broad principles they are good at asking open ended questions, they are more about inspiring people, they are good at listening, they are good at looking things from multiple angles and understanding from what scale each person is talking about. More likely to be a women. Professions : Human resource, education and training, public policy analysts, mindfulness instructors. Preference for estrogen. What you choose will shape what subtype you have as the dominant.

If you think the harmonizing one was hard to imagine at 15 imagine it at 8 with a boy 😅 although I try to diversify myself and become more accepting of that more domineering side that I know I have, my preference has always been this and I'm pretty positive alot has to do with the fact I was raised and cared for by woman who had little to no male oversight or support
I seem to allign to the ENTP type although I still have my doubts. From what I can recall from my past, I would say there was a transition between all of these. Starting with creative when young, going in to dominant during teen years, switching to normalizing in my early twenties and transitioning to harmonizing in my late twenties. It is very amusing that you brought up the project management position as an example of something possible but not coming naturally to the harmonizing subtype. I recently chose to enter this position because I felt my lack of skills in this area held me back from actualising my vision. I even chose to do so in a highly regulated and restrictive environment in a huge multinational. So there is a very strong regulation and corporation aspect to it, which require the skills I'm actually worst at. Placing myself in that environment, utilising my inherent desire of overcoming the challenge, I try to force myself to improve these skills. Basically tricking myself to ignore the discomfort of these restrictions by creating strong drive. But it does seem to have some serious backlash doing it this way, it seems like this abuses your dopaminergic system to subdue the serotonergic which can lead to "falling in a pit" when the dopamine rush wanes.

I’m an ENTP woman. Growing up I was trained into the harmonising ENTP, and very much had to lean away from “male qualities” to get ahead. I trained myself out of that and the dominant ENTP sounds spot on. Today I can switch between harmonising or dominant depending on what will get me the results I need. For interest, I’m self employed - an advertising director, musician, speaker, and currently teaching myself AI and how it will affect humanity’s problems in mental health.
I'm a videographer for example but right now I'm more internal startup consultant in terms of strategy and company development from the backseat. and marketing specialist Knowledge books I have been reading for many years helped me come up with different solutions. People respect me for problem-solving skills usually technical... right now I am thinking about shifting my career to Data analytics things and also I'm developing remote viewing skills 😂
I was thinking these same thoughts as I was watching. I feel I switch between 3 of the types based on the time of the month. Something else to think about is the affect of a partner/spouse on these types.
Ex. An ENTJ Partner I had (before he listened to me and went to therapy) made me act in a hyper assertive way vs. my ISFJ Partner who was so kind and soft allowed me to regulate my emotions better allowing me to switch between my types appropriately
Years ago I chose engineering because I was bad at math, ended up being very good at it, loving math and physics but bored of the career. The thrill of the challenge
I'm an ENTP and I also chose an Engineering career because I was bad at math. Regretting it now. Lol
Same here, got into Comp Sci and Data Analytics just cuzz I am bad at maths, but the whole process of sitting in front of a screen all day everyday, regularly put in high amounts of cognitive effort kinda sucked the life out of me and got me depressed
I want to be software engineer it is good for entp?
Same here... Im Full stack and can do UI Engineering .. but learned cloud, apis, etc but work as a UX Research and Design LOL Makes no sense. Can workflow an entire app or an algorithm , make no dif to me.
Good heavens, do you know me??? I’m a normalizing ENTP who is 50 something and plays DND every week and loves the crap out of some cosplay!! 😂 Before I joined my weekly game, I was losing my mind trapped in a 40 hour a week job that worked for me in so many ways, but that sucked away my soul without that outlet. Now, I’m in a very good place, exploring my other sides from a stable foundation. Thank you, DND!!
I cant last a day in an office....but i love cosplay too and DND.
The man I love sounds like a Dominant ENTP, he oozes testosterone from my perspective. I’m a harmonizing ISTP, he said I’m the most emotional person he’s ever met. Im hoping he will one day learn about my Fe Inferior instead of just thinking I have “BPD traits.” When I cry, he has a difficult time with that, he’s used to women crying as a form of manipulation. But when I tell him it’s not his fault and he didn’t hurt me, he calms down immediately and he’s able to give me a lot of compassion and sensitivity. I’ve never felt all that I feel with anybody else before. It’s on a spiritual level.

As a dominant ENTP, I highly recommend exploring the field of physiotherapy to anyone with a keen interest in biology, especially in the medical field. There is so much to learn that you'll never be bored. I've been cycling between subfields such as nutrition science, manual therapy, sports medicine, psychotherapy, and more. You can also choose an inner specialization, ranging from common ones like orthopedic physiotherapist to obscure ones like diabetic or orthodontic physiotherapist.
In the private sector, each patient is like a new mystery to solve, and conducting tests before, during, and after procedures to track symptom changes can provide frequent dopamine boosts.
Despite sometimes starting my day on a challenging note, I often find myself even more energized by the end of my workday. After three years in the private sector, I'm preparing to open my own clinic. Thankfully, I have the support of my INFJ fiancée and my family for the little things that can make or break success.
Congrats on your own clinic! 🎉
I think I'm actually the harmonizing subtype. It's funny hearing yall talk about estrogen as the neurotransmitter of that type, because for years I've realized that in many ways I'm more androgenous than most men in terms of how my brain is wired. I'm straight, and I come across as masculine and all that, but I've always noticed that my priorities and desires are often more aligned with how women think than men. Things like: I've always been much more interested in emotionally bonding women than in sex (I love sex but I crave emotional connection). I've never liked competition. I've always been very people-oriented. My mom has told me many times that even as a baby/small child I was always very easy going, go with the flow, and oriented toward people-pleasing behavior. I think that for me, the hormonizing subtype was something I was born with, not so much something I was socialized into. I bet the harmonizing subtype is the one that will struggle most with boundaries. I have spent a lot of my life trying to learn how to externally present as something you would recognize as the dominant subtype, and that has shifted more toward a creative style expression as I've gotten older, but it's always been the harmonizing subtype internally.
Edit: Oh my Gosh, just heard the closing comment about mistyping as INFP... For several years I was convinced I was INFP.... Wow okay
Amazing work! ENTP here, entrepreneur & entrepreneurial mentor, holistic health coach, and just started a Human Resource Advisor position. It all fits so well with the way I am wired. Beautiful! I love being an ENTP 🥰🙌
OMG, I can't believe you specifically mentioned horticulture! That's been my lifelong hobby.
Great chapter. I am a creative ENTP, i like caos, possibilities and inventions.
I am a teacher in schools of art and technology, and i am a board game designer with 3 games published and i organize and teach board game related events.
Such a good resource! I am a Normalizing ENTP that worked as a technical manager at a Fortune 75 company, I thought I was an introvert until I realized I LOVE public speaking. Now I am a podcaster and do standup comedy for fun expressing heavily my Creative ENTP side. I do miss the structure of a regular dayjob, sometimes, but the scaffolding I created while working corporate is still holding up 😉
i thought i was INTP, until i realized love talking to people and being the center of attention
I've taken the myers briggs personality type test multiple times through out my life. When I was younger in high school I was a INFP. After school I became a ENFP. Later on when I went through a rough spot I discovered I became a ENTP.
Life has proved to me your personality is fluid and shaped by what goes on around you.
I was convinced for years I was an INTP. But now I am 100% convinced I am actually ENTP😅
You don't change types though.
@@mrswan667but you can mistype yourself. I mistyped as an enfp aswell, turns out i was an entp all along.
@@radioktiver_boomerang Yes you can mistype, I did too. But this comment is saying "It's crazy how one can change in a life/ i BECAME another type" or something. No, you just didn't understand yourself well. +Took wacky online tests.
@@mrswan667 yeah, i thought that that's probably what og comment ment by saying that. But I agree.
The asking questions to debate was huge for me it's a superpower learn it if you haven't yet.
Right on ! Excellent. As a dominant ENTP female career dedicated, stein work ethic, compassionate “ medical hospital nerd” Nurse Practitioner - I am exactly all that you explain. I specialize in geriatric chronic conditions, cardiology, infectious diseases- complex diagnoses conditions I can “see” the complexity how everything connects. It’s a gift. My creativity is optimized via my life ling hobby and pursuit of home improvement and interior decorating. I’m married to an ENFP because he is the only man type that “gets me” - our home is a bit chaotic yet never a dull moment and filled with ideas and adventure. I can identify with all the subtypes and suspect this due to maturity age 65 with long term career in nursing folllwed by medical provider education, long hours of passionate commitment to my medical practice and patient population. Thank you for this education’
What about aviation for creative and normalising entp ? Idk which one I fall in 🤷🏻♂️
Loved this episode - glad for what you said at the end because with each one, there was some part I STRONGLY identified with. I am in marketing after having two degrees (and a brief career) in music. Within that track, I have been both a Creative Director and a Marketing Strategist and have been largely self-taught (originally to supplement a music career that flipped to be primary when we had kids). At this point in my life, I have had to be each of those and now access them at different times. I am dominant with many of my clients, creative in my personal life, normalizing in my working alone style, and harmonizing with co-workers. Used to be more dominant with coworkers, but now work for a company with a LOT of dominant types and have found value in hanging back, hearing everyone's approach, and then doing the mic drop with the solution that brings the best of all together (LOVE that). Still, when no one speaks up, I will be the first to speak rather than face the uncomfortable silence of a Zoom call where no one has any ideas.
Also, as a CD I definitely found myself more the mentor/leader type than the manager type - I don't like being told WHAT to do, so I usually ascribed a similar perspective to my designers and writers. Later I learned that some of them truly did want me to tell them WHAT to do...🤷Also, when I consider dominance - I think of it more as the dominance of logic rather than the dominance of my perspective. If someone has a more logical solution I am happy to go with it, but there are those who would say that I build such a wall of dominant reasoning that picking it apart to disagree with me isn't worth the time. 😆
Windy road traveller here. ✋️😅
I think I'm more creative naturally. I became more harmonizing with friends, and dominant when I need to be at work. I'm definitely what you describe at 22:50 😊
pretty eye opening. been following mbti stuff since my university days and this is the first time i've heard of these subtypes. the past few years i'd been wondering why i still kept typing as entp because the more life experience i've gotten, the more i feel like i fit better into typical descriptions of INxJ types. after watching your video i definitely find myself in the normalizing subtype, where i felt like you called me out when you mentioned reserved, linguistics (my bachelor's), and ops management. however, i find myself gravitating more and more toward the harmonizing type, especially in my personal life, when antonia mentioned "not just listening for content but listening to match that information into broad theoretical frameworks," which specifically the reason i keep thinking that i belong in INxJ. so so so insightful, thanks so much
The podcast is spectacular! I am an ENTP woman here.
This is the first time that I am hearing that ENTP has sub-types. I am a little confused. I carefully listened to the 4 options, and I seem to generally be a Dominant type ENTP. I love marketing, I love presenting things in front of an audience and I love solving people-problems and making life easier for them in altruistic way. I also like management posistions, hahah. ;) But you say Dominant ENTP is connected to testosterone and that has me confused. Like, it's the dominant type more for males, and the harmonizing type is for females? Can i be a Dominant Womant ENTP?
Secondly - my other confusion. I seem to exhibit bits and peieces of all the types. I am also 23 years old if that helps in any way.
1. As already mentioned - I have the enterprenurial spirit of Dominant ENTP and can very easily sell stuff to people.
2. Just like the Creative - I also have several projects running at once. Furthermore, ever since I was a child, I've considered myself an artist. It's like a major part of my personality, buuut.... I don't identify with the Mad Scientist type? At the same time I'm not 100% Creative type, because I am focused, I keep a plan of the day and the week, I am organised for an ENTP and I do show up on time (as much as an ENTP is capable of that haha)
3. Just like the Normalising ENTP - my first university degree is Journalism and I LOVE it. I consider myself a good writer, I am published, for now they are shorter-form texts. One day I am certain that I will publish my own novel, it's a dream of mine. So yeah, I have the patience for writing. BUT here comes the contradiction - what you described for the normalising type is that they can be 9 to 5 employees in a established business or big company. The thing is that working in a cubicle for a big corporation absolutely TERRIFIES me and I very dramatically think that I'd rather die than work for a big corp. Sooooo.... That means I'm not Normalising ENTP, right? I lean more Dominant ENTP.
4. Finally, the harmonizing ENTP - I read like this one the LEAST, I think and here comes the question. The thing is, I absolutely love spirituality and astrology and I read QUITE a lot about these subjects as a hobby and as a part of my knowledge base. Also, one of the jobs I've held in the past was being an English teacher for small children ages 8-9. I had a fantastic relationship with the children and I LOVED working with them. I love children in general and I am very feminine and motherly. I also like teaching in a way that it is presenting stuff in front of an audience. But I don't really intuitively feel like a harmonising ENTP???
I guess, in conclusion, I am a rare ENTP Woman, who leans in the even more Rare masculine testosterone Dominant ENTP category probably 60% of the time. In the other 40% of the time I change roles and tap into the other sub-types in these capacities: 15% Creative, 15% Harmonizing and 10% Normalizing. I just want to know if that is possible and if I'm on the right path with my theory. :)
Sorry for the long comment and thanks for reading. :) Once again, I really enjoyed the podcast! Great content! It's just that it's my first time here and I had some questions. :D
The harmonizing ENTP discussion is very helpful and is the best succinct explanation for how Ne/Ti operates in me that I have ever heard. I was actually emotionally touched by the description of "Energized by deep passion and broad principles."
Also the Estrogen relationship helps me better conceptualize my relationship to femininity. It's interesting as a cis het guy to have always felt i better understood feminine energy than masculine energy. A thousand times I have been like, what is this not-typically-male thing going on in me and why am i not gay or transgender? It's been really fun in my 30s to get in touch with my own masculinity but i had no understanding of it until about 29.
Me, Harmonizing straight male entp in corporate America: keep track of my female colleagues', friends', fiance's, and sisters' menstrual cycles and advise them on the best kind of work for them to be doing based on the type of energy they typically have in different times in their cycle, and typically am able to tell them when they are about to start getting cramps or might feel a little off. Can't tell you how many times I've said "hey take Tylenol and drink a lot of water today" and a friend is like "really? I don't think I'm about to start my period" and then like 6 hours later "oh you were right" lol
One of the reasons I do this is because I have noticed women have an ability to accomplish different things based on the different days of their cycle, though the degree to which this is the case varies from person to person and month to month. But for example: connecting with new people and influencing/seducing/persuading on days 6-15, quickly identifying unacceptable problems on day 24-28 and pushing with real muscle for important fixes, reviewing and evaluating things on days 3-6, remembering themselves on day 1 and 2 ...
I also think that the Harmonizing type as described her does sound pretty wise/older as Joel said at first glance, but its also totally possible to imagine younger people with holistic Ne and Ti and then extrapolate what that may look like. For me it was like, journaling regularly as a teenager, studying myself and others a lot, and taking my then religion super seriously, basically treating spiritual (religious in this case) development as the most important thing in my life even when it was perhaps not age appropriate to do so. And also noticing the deep differences between myself and other boys -- especially their intense physicality / competitiveness / things like boxing/wrestling/beating up little brothers that just did not make much sense to me. My journals are littered with confusion about boys haha.
I don't think that's entp at all but ok.
23:23 I'm a creative ENTP and I'm either doing or have done everything you just suggested. I just did a study of 60 top comedians. #1 type with 14 out of the 60 was the ENTP. That's 23.333% were the average for 16 types is 6.25% yet we are only about 2.6% of the population which I intuitively knew we would be highly over represented in the comedy industry. 2nd was the ENFP with 11 out of 60 but they are over 7% and 3X more common than ENTPs so there is something to this.
I am creative entp and I really love comedy and I would love to try speak in open mics sometime! 😂
I'm an ENTP and recently tried stand up comedy for the first time. I killed it! Totally natural to me 😁
As ENTP I wondered often what subtype could I be. Watching this I could say I'm all of them:
1. Normalizing, where I started in my 20s to study Linguistics to find common ground within a Institution.
2. Creative, I studied Arts too and began to find out how to work as entrepreneur. So I needed to come up with Ideas fast. I train this Feature all time through kognitive science.
3. Dominant, I thought often I have to be ENTJ, cause to my dominant behaviour, working and managing as a employee in a concern, where I needed to be that way.
4. Harmonizing, Now I get older and left my company I want to understand others more and help them by guiding them. Therefore I must overcome my dominant personality trait.
So far, everything in this vid is absolutly correct!
After searching and searching, I finally realized I am a dominant ENTP (not an ENTJ, as I thought). Here are some reasons.
The ENTP dominant and the ENTJ are both personality types that share some common traits, such as:
They are both extroverted, intuitive, and thinking types, which means they are outgoing, creative, and logical.
They both enjoy exploring new ideas, perspectives, and possibilities, and are not afraid to challenge the status quo or the authority.
They both value competence, efficiency, and achievement, and are confident, decisive, and strategic.
They both have a playful and witty sense of humor, and can use their logic and charisma to persuade others.
I've been in UX Design for almost a decade and worked under a few umbrella positions, specifically research & strategy roles that helped me ground myself and ask questions before starting something.
I still have that touch to get stuff done fast or push the pedal down, but only once the collective assumptions have been identified.
Thanks for adding to the discussion. ~ Joel
Looking forward to this one! As a harmonizing ENTP i'm trying to get some acces to my dominant ENTP side through the normilizing part.
I like my harmozing side and the opennes and people skills it brings, but i think my carreer would really benefit from some more of the analytical sides of my cognitive functions. Any chance for some extra tips on that in this or future podcasts?
Thnx guys!
Edit: (I'm an maintenance/reliability engineer by the way)
Unbelievable: I've been trying to figure out if I'm an ENTJ or an ESTP for 2 years; I am enneagram 8w7. I'm clearly extroverted, thinker and assertive (my Te and Ti are very high). Sometimes I have thought: what if I am someone in between: ESTJ or ENTP?... I think that today you have given me the answer: "dominant ENTP". I feel very identified with everything you have said until the 25th minute. Thank you!!! ;-)
I was listening so hard when she was about to list off the common things that would suit a creative ENTP. And I can't believe how accurate it was. She started to list them off. And being a film director and very confident in my ability , maybe painfully over confident to some. I was waiting to hear what she listen off. and lowe and behold she landed on Quentin tarantino . One person I look at often as a familiar personality that I can't shake. When I listen to him it's like hearing myself speak and it was annoying until now. I would get jealous in a way because I felt like something telling me that's what I was meant for as well. So now after learning about personality types, it does make sense why I gravitate towards these fields. I've been a photographer, graphic designer, videographer and now director. Which took a long jourey in figuring out.
Me listening to her list out different career choices for creative ENTP and it being everything I aspire to do all at the same time
So interesting! I think naturally I'm a creative subtype but because I'm in management right now I've been acting more like the harmonizing subtype. Don't get me wrong, I love building my staff up and having deep and engaging discussions with them, but I'm trying to create my own department in the company so I can just do more creative stuff and don't have to be a manager anymore 😂
😂
I am a 26 year old male ENTP with a strong lifelong bent towards the harmonizing subtype, sometimes floating around creative. It took me months of obsession with typology to understand that O am an ENTP, because I didn’t identify with the archetype. Now that I understand the systems from a mechanical standpoint, I am fairly confident in my conclusion.
I was raised by a single ISFJ mother, throughout my childhood I was told, verbatim, “You will never have friends if you keep debating”. Ne was also discouraged, of course. I don’t have any I’ll will towards my mother, she was only trying her best, but you can understand what this did to a young ENTP.
I learned to argue by asking questions and I learned to place more emphasis on Fe because of my mothers influence. My “mental image” of Ti can be transversed on many scales, everything connects if I zoom out far enough I’ve created a Ti framework that places massive emphasis on “spiritualism” and emotions. I don’t make decisions with feelings, but I know where art truly comes from.
Sorry about typos, wrote this in a rush.
damn I'm a creative entp and while those career options sounded fun they'd be extremely hard to break into and actually make any real money
Very helpful info! Thanks for sharing!
I've been thinking for a while now that I'm an ENTJ, with high introverted thinking, tending towards ENTP or another kind of XXTP type. Today, analyzing various issues, I have realized that "introverted thinking" is my most important function, so I have to be an XXTP type... I have watched the video and it appears that the dominant ENTP can be mistaken for an ENTJ or an ESTJ. I think it is my case
I think I'm ENTP, and I went from construction work in my teens to fast food in my 20s, to now in my 30s I have a PhD in biochemistry and biophysics. I find myself going further and further down this career path of medical research, but I honestly don't want a career. I want a job. I enjoyed the academic process, exploring ideas as a student, but the specialization required for medical research goes against that Ne function. I don't have the atttention span to keep reading more and more papers on the same topic for years on end.
This was spot-on and eye-opening 😅 Thank you for this interview!
Female ENTP, definitely lean towards the dominant subtype. I have learned some of the skills of the normalizing subtype as I’ve gotten older and have more life experience. My main career has been as a lead aircraft dispatcher. The more challenging, chaotic and busy the better.
That’s funny. I identify as the dominant creative type. I work from home as a creative and I also have a corporate position.
Both descriptions definitely define my day to day.
I’m pretty serious when working at my corporate job and once I’m home, I’m a spaz 😂
Creative ENTP - Somehow I've stayed in the same graphic design corporate desk job for 8+yrs
ENTP, I am a Full-Stack Engineer and Designer.. Can plan, strategize, design and build an app by myself.. learned for fun lol Ask me if I have ever done it... nope. Even though I have the skill set.. I have been unable to go from a-z lol
Holy shit! I am a Marketing Manager turned entrepreneur. That list was hella accurate. Apart from a Real Estate broker. I would never do that even if I am starving ngl.
That's interesting. I seem to fit the profile for an harmonizing entp.
I simultaneously worked various secular jobs in hospitality management, while doing pastoral care, specializing in mental health. Best of all worlds.
I'm sure there are ENTP's out there with some kind of ideal career, but that's definitely not me. I've just continued to fall into things and it turns out I'm really good at them and I keep getting promoted. Hooray?
More useful information:
The ENTP dominant is a subtype of the ENTP personality type, based on the combination of assertiveness and playfulness. The ENTP dominant is assertive, playful, and innovative, and uses extroverted intuition and extroverted thinking as his main cognitive functions.
Extroverted thinking (Te) is the process that helps the ENTP dominant organize and implement his ideas, as well as persuade and influence others.
An ENTP can apply for a job they are wildly unqualified for and assume they will figure it out as they go, succeed in it, and then get bored at 6 months after the thrill of the kill is gone. 💯 Story of my life before 30. I just wanted to see if I could do it. 😅
Honestly I could Relate to that Alot and I been entp since high school and i.m still trying to figure out what to do for a career
As an ENTP I would probably be a great lawyer, but I don't see the point in having paperwork if I know I just need to be placed in a job and I can excel. Also, the problem with me personally is that although I am a debater ENTP I have a strong moral compass and I can't defend someone I know without certainty is guilty.
Ok, that makes sense now cause I retook the test 2 weeks ago and I was very low perceiving, almost turning into judging which then would make me entj but that's cause I was thinking about how I be at work. Turns out that might be the dominant subtype in me 😂
And I've been an ENTP for the past 3 tests i took including this one, the time before this was almost exactly a year ago, but each time I get closer to the judging side, probably cause I'm getting older and again how I be at work 🤣 I'll be 29 in 5 months
I've only ever taken the Myers Briggs test, so I don't use anything else to really find out though 👀 but i really resonate with ENTP
I identify with all of these subtypes! At different stages in my life I feel like I've gravitated to the most appropriate one of these modalities.
It feels like these are more like the 'seasons' of the ENTP. Especially if they are tied to neurotransmitters, we are are all responsive to all of these and they will be emphasised more or less by our life context right? I imagine that you become a lot more estrogen driven after having a child, or more testosterone sensitive if you're in a competitive environment.
8:49 I've been 5 of those so far. Gotta love the ENTP life :)
Sounds like I'm the dominant assertive subtype but also creative. Haha I love to talk(which is prob why I'm on youtube teaching horticulture) and am Def into entrepreneurship. Always tested as an Entj tho so it makes sense why I was so confused
Thank you for the comment and sharing your experience. - Joel
Well I’m an entp and I’m confused I can only say that I’m entp that have quarter of each subtype which is not objective opinion and I know 😂 it’s subjective assessment but I can talk about my own experience and it’s as follow :
I started school with high grades in every subject that I studied and the expectations was math and science but then in my high school I get really good at math especially with statistics and it’s subjects which involve math and calculus and I also get good with science especially in biology and chemistry but in the end of my high school I turned into lazy easy path of study literature and psychology and politics and religion and history and geography and logic which was so easy to understand and remember that make me score even better with my gpa so I can go to college easily but deep down I know that I wanted science and math but that’s what happened when you are in country that want to be something you don’t want so you can get better jobs and life in general , so then I want to study four things in college either religion or politics or psychology or law which in the end I choose because it has the best jobs in my country ( salary wise ) and I actually feel in love with law and I wanted to be detective or work in prosecution but that didn’t happen , which made me sad then I practiced law as lawyer for very short period of time which I didn’t like because of the biocracy of the system then I became legal researcher in the ministry of industry and commerce which made me at first sad but then it became my job for the last three years and it’s getting better because I was very grounded and okay with 9-5 job lifestyle but in my first year I studied masters in law which I’ve finally finished because i want my career to be in academia, but even though I want this career and I really want to start my phd degree to become a professor in law college but in the past to years I started doubting my career path and want to change it to entrepreneurship which I actually want now and I did start a small business and a small company with my brother and my friend which it about an app that I’m really excited and interested in doing and growing to be international business “ I hope “ it least but the down side about it is that we are a bit lazy and I really want to start my phd degree but don’t have the time for it “ I want to be in academia and entrepreneurship “ I know I wrote a big response but that is a really small brief about myself and know I want to know which subtype you think I’m ?❤
ENTP woman here, relate more to the dom subtype. Started out as a harmonizer then stepped out of the matrix. 😊
Very good INFO! I think I'm a dominant with a little bit of creative, used to be harmonizing in my teens because I wanted to be liked and couldn't say no to people and got me in a lot of stupid situations. I'm an accountant because I'm analytical and HAD to stick with something from all my ideas and commit, now I'm bored of it and I'm wandering where to make the gear to....😅 learned MBTI on my own, lerned psychology and self development on my own had a COACHING course, now I'm interrested in the medical sience of naturopathy and my brain just wants to f***ing know everything and absorb every info :)))) so i'm considering going to med school for that.... 😅 just... young and restless 😅😅😅
I’m the same and I think I’m creative and dominant as well! 😂
Awesome podcast! I have a 24 year old ENTP who cannot decide what he wants to do. Do you guys have any training available to young people like this?
Eclectic session .
I am 50% dominant, 30% normal, 10% harmonize, 10% creative ≈100% me 😊
I initially thought I wouldn't be a dominant ENTP because I don't like to debate and argue with people for no reason like the stereotype of ENTPs. But I might fit into the dominant category. I'm a research scientist in pediatric genetics and absolutely think outside of the box, get things done, and am very motivated by the human aspect of the work I do. If my work isn't at least indirectly helping people, I feel a lack of purpose. I want to apply to an MD PhD program soon. One of my biggest struggles in this is figuring out what specialty I want to commit my entire career to. I'm already in genetics, but I want to consider immunology or infectious disease. Can I connect those specialties? How could I do this? Etc.
I have a law degree, previously a journalist, now a librarian lol
What if you knew since high school that you wanted to be an Artist/Performer, and you go to Art school, get a MFA, then teach?
Started off as a business analyst, went on to be a facilitator, then a software developer and finally a self employed illustrator for books and games. Guess I can relate to 3 of those subtypes but the dominant entp leaves me cold. Why would you want to be that jerk? Oh hell I'm self employed, 'the dominant entrepeneur' - I am that jerk !
Hello, I have a question if that's okay! I looove PH's work thanks to its depth and applicability. I would like to purchase the ENTP Owner's Manual but I wanted to ask if it contains never before seen content, or if it's mostly compiled from all the podcasts and videos (which there's nothing wrong with - I've learnt the hard way in my life that to not reinvent the wheel can be wise 😆) which I've already deep dived into. If so, I still love PH's work and will still support it in other ways - probably by buying a different course on the PH website, as I'm an ENTP and find anything fascinating! But just wanted to double check if possible :)
The Harmonizing ENTP has read and master The 7 Principles of Highly Effective People by Stephen Covey
dang got me
great vid
Can astrology be connected to the personality types? Because I'm an aries sun, Sagittarius rising and capricorn moon and those traits relates to being an entp in a lot of ways 👀🤔
I'm a creative ENTP and yes I am a Digital Marketing Specialist. And I am a God too, 😂
Being a teacher was my career , It was i theory great bit in reality it was damage control and Data entry!!!!!!!!

Antonia: "There is a smaller percentage of entps that IDENTIFY as women."
Me: "Please don't go woke! Please don't go full-rerard! You've been doing so well so far" 🤞🙏
Antonia: contiues without going deeper into wokeness.
Me: Thank you!!!
It was a great video. But want to point out that the test on your homepage can newer spot a entp. Have you never tested your test if it can find the personality types? And no it's your test that is shity, do something about it. It's better to take don your test than that your test misslabel people! But to your defence, most MBTI tests are quite shitty. Test your questions on real people ald let them talk and then it would be quite obvious that your test will miss a lot
Can you really expect an ENTP to watch the entire half of the video?

This is horoscopes for people who think they're learned.
No not really. Whereas a horoscope puts the causality on the external source (when you were born and the positioning of celestial bodies) MBTI is more a taxonomy of what already exists. In a horoscope world you do _______ because you are a _______. In an MBTI world it says we notice a certain percentage of people prefer X so we call them (taxonomy) a XXXX. It is naming and classifying an observed thing. In taxonomy, you say "That's a bird" - the bird doesn't change its nature because you say it's a bird - it just is, the description only exists to assign common elements to all birds so that we can understand them better - what do they eat, how do they function, what is their healthy state. It doesn't change WHAT the bird is - it just describes it. That is MBTI. It is in fact the very OPPOSITE of horoscope which says the external influences of your birth dictated what you would be - that's like saying we only make birds on Mondays...
Dominant - human problems, good at everything, more assertive, leadership, they like to assist, the desire of high scale influence. Testosterone.
Creative - a lot less serious about their career, they need grounding exercises, they have their heads in the clouds, doing a lot of things at the same time, they know a lot of stuff, they have more get things going style. They are best at brainstorming- quick and creative ideas. They are the weakest at being practical. They are good at Promoting, making deals. Professions : Comedians,’marketing specialist, critic, RUclips host, graphic design, podcasting. Quentin Tarantino. Chasing dopamine.
Normalising - they are more grounded, they are more comfortable with structures, they are more likely to observe and they are better listeners. More okay with institutions, they tricked themselves into being more organised. They are good at spotting weaknesses in the institutions. Business or analysts, project management, they have the patience for writing. Seratonin. Normalising is the opposite to creative. They have to have a hobby otherwise they will have unhealthy forms of escape. They are good project managers.
Harmonising - an older version of ENTP, they are energized by broad principles they are good at asking open ended questions, they are more about inspiring people, they are good at listening, they are good at looking things from multiple angles and understanding from what scale each person is talking about. More likely to be a women. Professions : Human resource, education and training, public policy analysts, mindfulness instructors. Preference for estrogen.
What you choose will shape what subtype you have as the dominant.
