Okay so I always test xNTP. I posted this in the INTP forum already, but I'd like to hear some ENTP responses. I've been wondering if any other ENTPs experience this.
At the risk of sounding somewhat shallow, basically I've come to realize that anything I do ultimately has the goal of external recognition or of other people seeing me as the best. I'm not really concerned with learning something for it's own sake unless I can find a way to directly apply it to my life or a situation (but I can be pretty creative on finding a way for the information to be useful/applicable, which drives me to constantly learn new things).
For the last 4-5 years I've had a desire to start my own business. I've had a few that failed to take off, but over the last 6 months I have built something that has been having some great success. And the money is there, but it's kinda behind the scenes and I always have an urge to "show it off" when I'm doing something well.
Sometimes it makes me think I am an ENTP, but most people that know me and MBTI well are convinced I'm an INTP. (and I'm not an S, definitely full blown Ne and Ti).
I definitely have other drives like wanting to understand how things work and always wanting to see the big picture, but those seem secondary to wanting to make an impact and be recognized.
So I was just wondering if any other ENTPs can relate to this.
