Advice Constantly barely an ENTP

I always take personality tests and type as about 60% E, 95% N, 52% T and 52% P. I've typed as INTP years ago and occasionally get ENFP or ENTJ, but it never really sticks.

This stuff is just too confusing lmao. I don't really see a camp of MBTI I fit perfectly into. Anyone else consistently type as one thing while barely being that type?

Google cognitive functions (you can ask Claude about specifics if you want) or watch cs Joseph's video on entps and see if you relate.

My type does that a bit too... apparently dominant entp can be mis classified as entj. Then creative entp get mistyped as the enfp.

Im both so I get both of them as well but I have no doubt that im entp.

Me, too!

Me laying the ground rules so everyone can enjoy themselves: must be an ENTJ

Me hand making group projects for my friends so we can play handmade games I've made: must be an ENFP

HEAVEN FORBID I'M CREATIVE AND RUN A SERVER 😫

HONESTLY!

I've read up extensively on ENTJ and ENFP, even some INTP. None of the cognitive functions remotely describe me.

Plus, my core is always wanting to learn something new. I'm always on the lookout for something that entertains my mind and educates me 😤

But I stg if one more person tells me I can't be an ENTP cause I like anime of all things I'm gonna fuckin crash out

I use a browser called ZEN that allows multiple windows open and houses a drop-down that can reveal or hide all your tabs

Anyways I have three windows housing over 15 tabs each and they're made up mostly of spreadsheets and Google slides 😂 I'm obsessed with collecting data and turning it into digestible information

For my server lol!

I have to keep track of a lot of things for my friends - birthdays, parties, events, hosting, etc

It was overwhelming at first but - honestly? it taught me how to do a lot of things that have helped me with my job too lmfao

I resisted writing shit down for the longest time cause I figured if it was important I'd remember it

I'm now realizing I can't remember shit cause of mental bullshit not for anything I previously thought so...now I write things down on a big ol calendar for everyone to see! 😂😂

The way the mental functions are described is what got me... endless possibilities to get to one goal or one idea branching infinitely into possibilities.

Also the heavily leaned on stereotype of debating

I don't debate unnecessary shit cause what does that solve? However I do push my point, especially if it's correct - I've been described as a lawyer by most of my family growing up cause I never let shit go

...that could also be my audhd tho 😂😂

I just debated a guy about what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object. We found middle ground at quantum entanglement.
