Famous ENTP Personalities

ENTP (Extroverted Intuitive Thinking Perceiving) is one of the sixteen personality types of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) test.

There’s nothing an ENTP loves more than a good argument. They can argue on any side and enjoy playing devil’s advocate. For ENTPs, the pleasure is in taking ideas apart and seeing what really works and what doesn’t.

ENTPs love to smash icons, question authority, and break down outmoded ideas.Click To Tweet

They love to smash icons, question authority, and break down outmoded ideas.

Their intellectually combative nature means that ENTPs can be difficult to work with, and they can bruise others’ feelings because they never shy away from conflict. But ENTPs are unflinchingly honest, even about themselves, and they hold up a clear mirror to the world around them.

Here are some celebrities who fit in the ENTP type.

    I am not sure, but i think Leonardo was an INTJ.
    I say this because i read complete novel about Leonardo written by “Dmitri Merezhkovsky”, and a lot of other stories, he was very creative like ESTP’s but his behavior was more similar to INTJ’s.
    also i have to say that i’m an INTJ and my father is a ENTP and we speak a lot about personalities.

      My first thought lol. It’s for one reason as well, my sister said I give off “Rick” vibes. I’ve tested ENTP multiple times and tested INTJ once. Suppose it really just depends on my mood or if I’m sleepy

    I always see Tony Stark as a middle point between ENTJ and ENTP. That guy has no Fe at all, and his Se is extremely apparent. Plus, if you focus on the movies in depth, he doesn’t actually have a LOT of ideas (BARF was actually Quentin Beck for eg). His long term vision is Iron Man and protecting the world, and he’s always trying to improve that. I think he gets labelled as an ENTP because of his Tech aspect, but he seems more like an ENTJ to me.
