Make sure to watch each one of them and find out how many you have!
If the Myer-Briggs Personality Indicator (MBTI) assessed you as an ENTP personality type, then
you are among the most unique personality types in the world. ENTP which stands for extraverted,
intuitive, thinking and prospecting is an individual who tends to be bold and creative,
deconstructing and recreating ideas with great mental sharpness.
The ENTP can be thought of as "the debater," or as "an innovator,". Nevertheless,
no personality type is perfect and yes, ENTPs have a lot of good strengths,
however people with this personality type have to be aware of their weaknesses as well.
Knowing those weaknesses will help you in your self-improvement journey and increase your social
skills by a significant amount. Find out what are your greatest weaknesses and learn how you can
counteract them and achieve personal growth. Here are 10 Weaknesses Of An ENTP Personality Type.
Number 1 - They tend to be impractical ENTPs have a chaotic aura about them that can be
both amusing and irritating to coworkers and partners. They often lose track of the
immediate chores around them, such as housework, house work, and other duties of everyday living,
such as paying bills, as they become involved in their thoughts. An ENTP can be bright, yet
he or she can also be destitute, unorganized, and even irresponsible. Debater types lose interest
in hard details and day-to-day execution, where their creative flare is not only required but
actually counter-productive, resulting in their proposals never seeing the light of day.
Number 2 - They are big procrastinators Procrastination and poor time management are
other traits often associated with ENTPs. This is partly due to their prospecting component, which
prefers to keep absorbing information rather than making a decision and getting down to business.
The problem isn't so much laziness as it is a reluctance to put a stop to the
flow of data and concepts in order to focus on one particular topic or
one decision. They have trouble prioritizing duties and will try to keep new information and
ideas out of the way of their current work which results in frequent procrastination.
Number 3 - They like to push boundaries ENTPs enjoy pushing boundaries,
which can be disturbing for those who don't like being pushed around.
Debaters frequently cross those limits only to test where people's boundaries are especially
when they want to learn more about someone. Poking individuals to read their reactions and behaviors
is a common way for ENTPs to learn. This is really beneficial to Debaters in terms of
learning about people and their surroundings, but it can be unpleasant for those around them.
People don't always appreciate being pushed or having their personal boundaries violated.
While this is a source of continuous frustration for many others, it may be
very advantageous to the ENTP because they can learn where the others' limits are. However,
it might make people uncomfortable around the ENTP and isolate them from certain relationships. They
can also be rather confrontational for the sake of learning and understanding,
but it doesn't change the fact that it can make those around them feel tense and anxious.

Number 4 - They are easily distracted ENTPs are easily sidetracked, which is one
of the reasons they struggle with time management. They are motivated by a variety of topics and do
not want to feel confined to one path. They have a great difficulty in restraining themselves when
their brains are caught up in something exciting. They go with what stimulates and motivates them
and their imagination, and they don't like having rules imposed on them. Being easily distracted is
part of what allows the ENTP to explore new routes and learn new things, but it can also
keep them from getting things done. They aren't always adept at sticking to rigorous deadlines,
and as a result, they have a hard time staying in one environment for lengthy periods of time.
Number 5 - They tend be argumentative ENTPs like debating a point of view with
their knowledge. They are not afraid to dispute with anyone who disagrees with their viewpoints.
This might create a lot of anxiety and stress. They may even dislike hearing other people's
opinions. People with this ENTP personality type like debating with others. If others do
not approve or support their ideas, ENTP has a tendency to avoid them. That they are aggressive
and nasty when it comes to their own beliefs, and they try to apply the same to others. This may
give the appearance that ENTPs are irritable, judgmental. Debaters tend to be argumentative
especially for the pure sake of argument, not for the purpose of digging to the truth.
Number 6 - They have problems with time management
When it comes to routines and rigorous structure, ENTPs have a hard time. ENTPs struggle to manage
time in most situations, despite having their own system and ways for organizing things. They
simply do not enjoy living according to rigorous deadlines and timetables, and they are completely
exhausted when they are forced to do so. It's not the case that ENTPs are incapable of doing it;
they just get annoyed and overwhelmed when they are forced to stick to the plan. They really would
like to feel as if they have enough space and flexibility to pursue their own interests. ENTPs
do well in jobs that allow them to accomplish this and provide them a lot of creative freedom.
Number 7 - They have problems with emotions When it comes to emotions, ENTPs have a hard
time dealing with them and dislike concentrating on them. When they have to confront their own
feelings or the feelings of everyone else around them, they become agitated. This isn't because
ENTPs don't care; they simply have a difficult time expressing their emotions in a way that
others can understand. ENTPs genuinely care about their loved ones, but they show it through humor
and sarcasm and occasionally, in more practical ways. When an ENTP is concerned about someone,
they seek ways to better their lives and address their difficulties. When they are
asked to express their feelings, they can get fatigued and unsure of how to go about it.
Number 8 - They may get hyperexcitable ENTPs have a tendency to become too enthusiastic
about a number of various ideas at the same time, bouncing from one to the next in a matter
of seconds. Others may be perplexed by this, which often makes ENTPs appear untrustworthy.
Debaters aren't following the rules. and because they are perceiving types, ENTPs value freedom and
flexibility and will break or ignore the rules to achieve their goals, challenging authority. They
enjoy being in charge and acting from a position of authority. ENTP really like when others share
the same hyperexcitement as them, however a lot of people could not do that with the same pace
and when others are unable to keep up with their rapid thinking, ENTPs become easily frustrated.
Number 9 - They are often overwhelming for their spouses
According to this compatibility analysis, ENTPs will be drawn to those who share their enthusiasm
for learning new things. When they fall in love, ENTPs tend to involve their partners
in a variety of activities that allow them to grow personally. Furthermore, as impulsive and
open-minded individuals, they would seek out the same qualities in their partners, stretching the
relationship's boundaries as it progressed. As appealing and charismatic individuals,
ENTPs will ensure that their relationships remain fresh and exciting by surprising their partners
with new ideas and experiences. However, for ENTP partners, this persistent desire to develop,
be open to new ideas and constant hunger for an action can become overpowering over time,
putting a strain on the relationship. As a result, ENTPs must temper their enthusiasm,
slow down a bit and consider their partner's feelings and requirements.
Number 10 - They can be overly nonconforming While nonconformity can be a beneficial feature,
it frequently gets the ENTP into issues. Their entire outlook on life
is based on forging their own path, pushing boundaries, and doing things their own way.
While this encourages innovation and progression in their fields, it can also put them at conflict
with authority figures and superiors, which can impede their progress and success. "Incorrigible"
and "stubborn" are two adjectives that come to mind when describing an ENTP.
This rebellious lifestyle that they present, is a great weakness of an ENTP personality type.
