The sixteen types

ENTP

The Challenger

You see possibility everywhere and enjoy testing assumptions other people treat as settled. You learn fast, argue well, and bore very quickly.

Strengths

  • Plenty of ideas and willing to try
  • Excellent improviser
  • Sees a problem from several sides
  • Not afraid to push back at authority

Watch out for

  • Many starts, few finishes
  • Argues for sport rather than resolution
  • Neglects detail and process
  • Can wound people while debating

Work

Founding businesses, consulting, marketing, product, media, litigation.

Relationships

You are interesting and never dull. What you have to learn is staying once the exciting phase is over.

Where to grow

Pick one project and commit six months, including after the novelty goes. That is the only skill you are still missing.

A note on trademarks and use: MBTI® is a registered trademark of The Myers & Briggs Foundation. The test here is not the official MBTI® instrument — it is built on the four dichotomies in Carl Jung's typology, with questions we wrote ourselves. Treat the result as a prompt for your own reflection rather than a diagnostic, and do not use it to select or screen anyone at work.
