ENTPs - 12 Rules for Life 

Feel free to join our Discord server! The link is in the description (as are other links) ~ Nathan

I saw the word "rules" next to ENTP, and I'm offended but curious

Follow the rules like pro.. and break it like an artist.

I as an ENTP would like to hear some interviews with old ENTPs. Who are at least 70 to 80 years old. I would have so many questions for them. Such as: have you actually changed entire family because you got bored? How many U turns did you took in your career and so on. Big decisions.

1. Detachment is a double edged sword. 2. Lose the battle to win the war. 3. Sweat the small stuff. 4. Embrace the hare. 5. Invest in and see the true value of relationships. 6. Sometimes you need to force the direction. 7. Being overwhelmed is better than being bored. 8. You can't make an omelet without breaking a few rules. 9. Look for what others miss. 10. When you have an idea, try it before you tell people about it. 11. Outsource and collaborate. 12. Stay in your comfort zone sometimes.

i'm an intp with an entp younger brother. the arguments and discussions we have are as you'd imagine

I love ENTPs. I always find them to be super weird, chaotic, unique, and cool. One of my top fav personality types. Nice video, I love the rule 8.

Boredom leads to depression and despair. Lol it’s that simple for a lot of ENTPs.

DEAR GOD RULE 10 HDFSJKHFD actually made my jaw drop and stop what i was doing to listen because ive been struggling with that for so long. i used to tell my bf my drawing ideas and story concepts to friends and teachers and family who knew of my interests, and then as soon as i went to actually carry them out, i couldnt get a single part of anything done. and i didnt know why until now! thank you!

You assume I'm not well aware of what I SHOULD be doing.

Love Who: 12 rules for ENT- ENTPs: No Seriously though, great video!

Got #9 correct as you were reading the story, which me happy. Rules, as such, are best understood as "official suggestions". The Ten Commandments becomes "About a dozen helpful ideas".

I am an ENTP who is also a Gemini and also has ADHD a triple threat of complete scatter brain 🧠

This video made me smile. I've figured out most of these rules by myself. And you were right actually, it just confirms what I have learned throughout my life. But there's one thing, even though I agree on most of these rules. I have to disagree on number 7, that being overwhelmed is better than being bored. Being bored has many advantages than it might seem. Boredom has some kind of meditative aspect on it, which I believe helps control the impulsivity nature of the ENTP. It helps you to think clearly, make decisions worthy of your effort and time than impulsively take everything that feels good. Being bored makes your mind wander which is making you the most imaginative than ever. So yes, I believe that being bored is better than being overwhelmed.

Intellectually sus?! -very funny person

Any other ENTPs disputing the fact that they can successfully achieve BOTH of each point?

re:#8 - this is why it irks me to no end to be new at jobs, groups, hobbies, etc. because it’s only once I have a decent grasp of the ground rules and context for who/what/when/etc. that I can efficiently and creatively break the rules (and get away with it). ENTPs (at least this one) don’t like being seen starting small and making mistakes. Love this, Nathan!

As an INTP, I related to most of these as well! Very useful.

Thank you for your insights. I have been waiting for this. I like your unique perspective on the MBTI. Again, this video is very helpful and profound.

Man, rule 12 struck me hard! I think it was what I needed to see at this moment. New subscriber.

Number 9 sounds like my entp friend the other day being very skeptical towards like ALL of internet and trustworthy witnesses saying Johnny Depp never did anything to Amber Heard. I was a bit taken aback at first, but then I enjoyed the discussion. Ne and Ti are my worst functions so it was interesting hearing her out and then testing her with the facts I've seen from the court room. She is very good at not getting carried away by charismatic speakers or general opinions. Definitely makes me ponder about the grey stuff much more.

Love who is a legendary wielder of wordings

Number 10 is so painfully true I didn't know others felt the same way

As an ENTP, I really related to this video! I will keep it for later times in my liked videos list. :) Thanks for making it!

Lose the battle and win the war…one of the most difficult things I leaned. Also learning that feelings are AT least as important (and usually more so) to most people helped me a lot in crafting how I approach things

Wow. This was so so so helpful an spot on! Thank you so much.

These were so good for my husband! Definitely fought through being consistent in the past couple years but now hes seeing the results of it!

As an Entp it is very important to reflect on your own actions and motives. Leaving this aside makes the fertile chaos difficult to handle and unproductive. Thank you for reflecting with us. I tried some of your advices and feel less stressed out without sacrificing my goals. Thank you very much!

WOW! I really needed to hear Rule 10. I've had so many ideas for projects and maybe 1/20 actually happen. I will implement this.

I absolutely love rules that make perfect sense. 2+2=4, e=mc², put out your fire before leaving the forest. Rules that make no sense like no left turn or u-turn, I'm going left ❤

great video, that nr.10 im gonna apply or at least try

When you started talking about the chess game, I found it funny because I am an ENTP and although I don’t play much chess, I do enjoy it, but I never realize that that is exactly how I play my games, where I keep my options open and strongly dislike playing an offensive play where I can’t move around as much

Very interesting selection of ideas. I see them in generally three subset, nurture and enjoy relationships, embrace the brilliance of the ENTP, and overcome your weaknesses. We are all individuals and everyone will have their own "pressure points" that resonate for them. I do agree that growing relationships is vital, having a wide circle of acquaintances is good but really finding that small circle of special people during life has a far greater value to me atleast than what my personality type would suggest. Sometimes you need someone to grab you by the collar and explain that "you are not a character but are instead a cunt". Relationships help you paper over your weaknesses, developing good friendships at work is vital, most jobs are never advertised, so you might want to think twice about finishing off your next meeting with a verbal blaze of glory. Rather than beating down ideas, allow yourself to be inspired. And get an understanding accountant. The final part is embracing the brilliance of the ENTP, but when you let yourself rip try to ground yourself. Acknowledge an idea is off the wall or as this video suggests do some preliminary work.

12 rules, ENTPs have no rulesss

I am an ENTP. Very good suggestions. Thank you very much

This was a very useful video to me. Thank you. - ENTP

The fires i start when i get bored tend to burn bridges and ruin the environment for my colleagues

The last rule hit home, literally!

Damn, that last one I really need to give a shot; 12. Sometimes stay in your comfort zone for awhile. I was just talking about quitting the job I love and how I’m getting stir crazy with where I’m at in life -it’s been 1 year since I started 🤣

On number 6, for a board game analogy: if given an option between a face-down deck and a face-up selection of cards, the Ne user will find something inherently appealing about taking from the face-down deck.

Why am I up at 1 am hoping to find videos on RU-vid to put me to sleep but finding this interesting?

Number 6. is right on the Money

“Tour die says” “told Ice Is” “Tordices”

As an ENTP, if someone asked me what is my weakness such during an interview : my answer will be based on this video. Thankl you

knowing what you want like match your energy

As for rules. I don't always detest rules. Many times I do tho. But if the rule is reasonable then I see no point in breaking it. Rules and appropriate freedom shall go hand in hand. A rule which hampers someone's personal choices are the worst ones. Like - no dating in school kind of rule..n etc...but things like no pda may actually makes sense as it's a professional setting

Thanks, I enjoy learn more about my unconscious mind.

I had to screen shot these, cuz I try and be better…but also my mind chaotic

Do any other ENTPs who play chess prefer dynamic positions or is it just me? (referring to the quote at 4:02)

You're smart #10 def

Please do ENTJ next

I have a ?... ok I'm intp but i think that when I was younger I was more entp. Is that something that happens with age? Do basic types ever change?

Rules for ENTP? They better be damn good ones. I only follow rules that make sense.

Where can I reach you ? Like for chat , I would ask the question here but it's 2 personal . Please 🙏🏻

12 rules for ENFJ? This serie is really cool.

Rule #9 has been my mantra for GOD knows how long. And UGHHHHH Rule #10...I can't tell you how many times my Mom grilled me about making this mistake.

Bravo nathan, clean NiTi i supposed, you're infj right.. this is spot on and helpful

number three manifesting as paranoia when people ask me "what are you doing today?" and I immediately think I've forgotten to do some menial task that is tiny but insurmountably important.

I feel very called out by all of this but I kind of appreciate it…

Tour-toises, never heard it said like that before

Shift ”rules” to ”suggestions”

Me going into the video sceptical bc it has the word "rules" in the title:

can't believe this is all dragging all the stuff im not doing

Learned number 10 the hard way

Anyone else wish there were fun animations to this video?

Question/Game for ya, Nate: Let's say you have 2 really good Friends. Both of whom, we will refer to as: Person A. You've noticed a consistent pattern with both of them. You keep finding yourself having observed 2 separate arguments taking place (at totally different times, 2 completely separate occasions). In group 1, person A, is arguing with person B. Person A, is (clearly) arguing to *BE* Right (i.e. to "win" the argument... maybe they wanna learn something-to implement or not... maybe they wanna call someone on their hypocrisy... maybe just cuz: "f@ck you" lol). In group 2, person A, is clearly (for the astute) "arguing" to get to what *IS* Right/Actually True/Real... And, person A (in the group 2 example), is visibly upset, because person B thinks/claims person A (in this group 2 example) is just "being antagonistic/playing devils advocate" (but, they actually for_real are_NOT). Would you say that both (A's) are ENTP? Or, do(es) this/these example(s) demonstrate 2 different types (in your estimation)? If different, which example (A), is which type? Thanks in advance 😎.

I come out as enfp in tests but act at work like entp

Please do one for estp

Number 2 I do not have a problem with that. In fact I would say it is the opposite, due to my detachment mentioned in the first point. I really never have cared about winning any argument, nor convincing anyone. I do enjoy sharing my thoughts tho. But the purpose of arguing or debating has NEVER been about the other person. They can believe whatever they want, I really do not care. And arguing when they do not like it, yields no result other than antagonizing people, and that achieves nothing. So rather, I go to debates to learn and hone my skills, I only care about me. If the other person gets mad, is very close minded and or doesn't have much to offer to the discussion I simply leave. I simply do not see any reason to debate with anyone that won't feed my Ne Ti. And with Fe, I do not like making people mad, so i see no point in arguing unless the person likes it.

Me reading the title. I do what I want.

I think you _wrote_ that hare homonym so we'd poke you about your floof. Well, I'm not gonna bite. Wait, oops.

Damn, from the first one ☝🏽

I am very unlikely to follow a rule. However, some of the rules you are giving I have definitely already learned.Aside from that, though, principles are not rules. Principles are facts or that which lend to a better forming of reality, and which are malleable to some exent, For instance, "Work good toward all, especialy those in fthe failth" leaves a lot of room for interpretation of what is work, what is good and in what way it would be especially to those in the faith. And, that's something I can live with, examine as needed and therefore be absolutely sure to consider at odd moment,s including some when there is a need for it to be employed most ardently.

After hearing rule number 8, I was like "Ahh! Finally! My powers are back!" 😁

Yeah, this is the sort of video that demonstrates to me that I'm not so much a dyed-in-the-wool INTP as an ENTP that can't stand people. :-/

first because i can

12 Rules for ENTPs aka How to Keep Your Friends

12 rules for ESTPs please

❤

Wait, is your cover mocking Steins.Gate? 😂

"You're pronunciation of tortoise is wrong and here's why..." -An ENTP

Rule #8 -> Chesterton’s Fence

interesting .

These are more suggestions than rules, right?

As an ENTP, I am here to learn what those rules are so I can break them.

Rules were made for a reason, but not my reasons xx

As an entp I see 12 possible arguments.

This ENTP is mad that you only gave me 12 rules, lol. You literally gave us a rule about breaking rules, and you didn't even break your own! I was so hopeful, and now I'm disappointed. lol

Did.... u just suggest ARSON?

Not sure if Im an Entp or just have a mental illness

Rekt

There is only 1 reason why the hell an ENTP would watch a video about rules. of course to bend or break them easier and get away with, knowledge is key! ENTP in a nutshell.

I already didnt like the advice given. on nr 1. Detatachment is a double - edged sword. But you're not wrong

I didn't know that Americans pronounce tortoise

ISFJ 12 rules for life?

I don't care. I did as well as I could.

I think the position of an ENTP with intersecting marginalised positions acts and thinks quite differently, but interesting nonetheless.

#3... (I think I'm being watched😳) #6 you just named the entire reason that I never finished open world video games all the way. I never want to take one direction in case another one is better for the end game. 😅 #7 I spin plates for a living now. Honestly, you are 100% correct. I'd rather have a day where I do 3 days worth of work and feel like a badass then have nothing to do. 😁 #8 😂🤣👌Facts

ENTPs like me didn't watch the whole video.

First rule is to not not follow rules so fuck this
