ENTP

ENTP. Apparently those four letters define my personality.
It's funny, usually labels scare me. I don't like the idea of being confined and having to fit into one stereotype. But when I learned about each personality type on the Myers-Briggs personality test, it was actually comforting to have ideas that I have about myself reinforced.
I think that the personality type I was given is accurate. When I read through the packet, I related to almost everything on it. In fact, some of it was frightening it was so accurate. For example, it said something about ENTPs being able to easily generate new ideas and see new possibilities, but unwilling to follow through on the ideas, as making a plan seems like a chore. I see this very much in myself, unfortunately.
Also, it said that under stress, the ENTP loses the ability to generate possibilities, and instead focuses on unimportant details. This is how I feel when reacting to stress, although I did not realize until consciously thinking about it.
One thing that I was surprised about was the extrovert component of my personality. I would have thought that I would be an introvert, but after reading about the extrovert, I thought it made sense. I wouldn't say that I'm a people person, but I do enjoy debates.
