Ne[Extroverted Intuition], Ti[Introverted Thinking], Fe[Extroverted Feelings], and Si[Introverted Sensing]; Have you every thought about what this means? An ENTP is always a dominate Ne, or else they wouldn't be ENTP. However, the other traits can easily be switched; they can be adjusted (to) higher or lower (volumes) of themselves. For example I am an ENTP with extremely strong Ti[Introverted Thinking]. My Ti[Introverted Thinking] rivals my Ne[Extroverted Intuition] in most cases, and if it doesn't than it is only about 1 % off. I also have extremely low feeling functions. Almost non-existing. This causes me to be more aggressive, and blunt than most ENTPs. If the grand scheme of things I would be NTSF; Introverted Sensing being more dominate than feelings.

I'm not the only example of a change in the ENTP personality based on the placement and strength of functions. Doctor Who, more specifically the 10th Doctor, is a good example of what happens when an ENTP's Fe[Extroverted Feelings] rivals their Ti[Introverted Thinking]. This allows the ENTP to connect more with the outside world while still giving them an edge; though a duller one than an ENTP with strong Ti[Introverted Thinking]; when it comes to doing what needs to be done. The Doctor also demonstrates elevated Si[Introverted Sensing] allowing him to follow more traditions than the average ENTP.

So, What is my point? The Snowflake Theory states that The original Personality Type is just a base; It contains all the personality traits at 10%, and there are 12 combination that adjust the percentages of those traits to create an individual snowflake (entp). I will only be going over the basic 6 for today: Ti Fe Si, Ti Si Fe, Si Ti Fe, Si Fe Ti, Fe Si Ti, Fe Ti Si. Remember, ENTPs will always be intuition dominates, that will not change. There is a difference between being a INTP [Ti dominate] with Extroverted traits and being an ENTP.

Little codenames are given to each type:

The Madvillain [Ti Si Fe]: Often fitting into the role of Mad Scientist, or Mad Doctor. The Madvillain often scores extremely high in rationality and introverted thinking. Combining Ne and Ti to create a wacky, almost comical, personality type. The Madvillain loves to play with people, often views the world as a little game or experiment, and is probably the bluntest of the Snowflakes. However, this does not make him the most honest. The Madvillain will always do what benefits him the most. He doesn't take sides and will often not believe in Good & Evil instead replacing it with what is interesting and what is boring. [Correlation: Chaotic Neutral]

The Madvillain Quote: "There is no right and wrong. There's only fun and boring." ~ The Plague (Hackers, 1995) [Or: "I was born with a heart two sizes to small" ~ House MD]

The Trickster [Ti Fe Si]: The Trickster is often shown as the dominate type of ENTP. This type makes of the most of what ENTPs are and is most often seen in articles relating to ENTPs. The Trickster is the equivalent of the Coyote Spirit. It loves playing with people, more so than the madvillain, often its pranks are riskful for itself, and the person being pranked. The Trickster is not all bad though. With Fe as a a secondary it can connect with its victims and know when it has went too far. One of the most famous tricksters is Wile E Coyote (Road Runner). The Trickster views the world as a stage, and loves the spotlight. [Correlation: Chaotic -----]

The Trickster Quote: "Right, too complicated. But what if I built a Burmese tiger trap?" ~ Wile E Coyote

The Doctor [Fe Ti Si]: The Doctor is definitely the nicest of all the ENTPs. Think of them as Lucifer before he got kicked out of heaven. They are just the right combination of real Gentlemen, New World Explorer, and Party Animal. They often love meeting new people. Their Ti rivals their Fe. This allowing them to connect with people in a much deeper manner. They'll bite their tongues if they feel something they'll say will hurt someone else. They are pretty much the exact opposite of The Madvillain. The Doctor has a view of the world that is more idealistic than The Trickster. It believes it was put here to help people with its cunning brilliance. It wants to learn & often engages its friends in group decisions on topics they'd normally not talk about. [Correlation: Chaotic Good]

The Doctor Quote: "They can shoot me dead, but the moral high ground is mine." ~ Doctor Who (10th Doctor)

The Professor [Fe Si Ti]: Oh, have you ever had an ENTP Teacher? Somehow they managed to be more Social with your feelings, Traditional with their rules, and Innovative with their logic? Yep, that would be The Professor. A Ne dominate with strong Fe and Si. The Professor is a teacher who will seat you by names and then call you to the front of the class to preform a play with him (or her). They're outside of the box traditionalists. Extremely creative social gentlemen. The Professor is all about teaching, because like The Doctor, it only wants to help. [Correlation: Neutral Good]

The Professor Quote: "So my idea of neurotic is spending too much time trying to correct a wrong. When I feel that I'm doing that, then I snap out of it." ~ Gene Wilder

The Hero [Si Fe Ti]: Every type has a Good and a Bad; perceived by the public's eye; The Madvillain was already shown as "The Bad Guy" so its only right that "The Hero" be the stereotypical good guy. The Hero somehow manages to combine an extreme background in Traditions with the sporadic craziness. This type can often be confused for ESTJ due to its strong need to correct people who it thinks is in "The Wrong". It's the ENTP that would create a safe way for little old ladies to walk across the street. The can't restrain themselves when it comes to something they feel is wrong. [Correlation: Lawful Good]

The Hero Quote: "He called me irrepressible. This is a man who is truly irrepressible" ~ Q (Star Trek)

The True Neutral [Si Ti Fe]: Almost robotic in terms, not much is known about this type for two reasons: A) They don't appear to have any personal opinions or feelings; B) This is the rarest of all ENTPs. The True Neutral is the guy you turn to when you want the truth and nothing but the truth. Strong in Traditions but has a weak morality. It can easily get the job done on pretty much any Job. The True Neutral can easily be confused for an INTJ. [Correlation: True Neutral]

The True Neutral Quote: " 'You're out of my mind' That's between me and my mind. Let's start with these rooms." ~ Jubal Early (Firefly)
