ENTP

Who you are

You enjoy overturning a hardened premise. You take argument as exercise for the mind rather than a fight, and find new routes in the process.

Where you're strong

• ·Breaks the existing frame
• ·Persuades in conversation
• ·Thinks fast on the spot

At work

A plan everyone else has already agreed on is the one you most want to test. You enjoy poking holes in it to see if it holds. Routine maintenance bores you, and you may leave it undone for a long time. Coworkers do not always know you are testing the idea, not attacking them.

With people

A conversation that clicks intellectually reads as love to you. The bickering is often the affection.

In love

A date with you might turn into a two-hour talk about something odd, like why cities grow in the shapes they do. You like trying a new place together every week or two. Ordinary weeks with nothing new planned are where you have to put in real effort.

Under stress

When several of your ideas are turned down in a row, you go quiet, which is the opposite of how people know you. Inventing something silly with a friend, like the rules for a new board game, gets your ideas moving. Time alone tends to make it worse, since you start going over mistakes from years ago.

Watch out for

Great at starting, bored by cleanup. The finishing is where it's decided.
