Did you know that in addition to MBTI type, you have other key personality functions? These
functions are crucial to understanding how you function in society, and they're useful to know
as a tool to help you learn more about yourself and others. Today we’re going to look at the
shadow functions and how they create the dark side of an ENTP personality type. This dark side
represents the unconscious parts of our psyche that you have less awareness of and control over.
It hosts repressed, unwanted and overlooked elements of your personality. If you are an ENTP
(debater/innovator) personality type chances are that you have already experienced some dark side
traits at least once in your lifetime. You should undoubtedly be aware of your dark side since it
will help in the integration of your unconscious and conscious selves, allowing you to better
design your life and achieve personal growth. Here are 7 Disturbing Traits Of An ENTP Dark Side
Number 1 - Second guessing The shadow function which represents the
dark side of ENTP is their Introverted Intuition (Ni). Because of this Debaters begin to focus on
"feelings" and guesswork rather than patterns and things they can comprehend. They find themselves
obtaining ideas for future predictions in a variety of methods that aren't always related.
Rather than detecting similarities around them, they try to find ideas and gut sensations within
themselves, which are more paranoid than logical. The ENTP, who is generally logical and intuitive,
begins to doubt things and second-guess themselves in less productive ways. This conduct can be
harmful since they begin to distrust individuals and things in ways they would not ordinarily do.
Number 2 - Superiority complex ENTP use their Extraverted Feeling (Fe)
a form of consolation when their dominant Extraverted Intuition (Ne) needs a break.
Most forms of teamwork appeal to ENTPs, and they enjoy being a member of a group that values them.
Introverted Feeling (Fi), on the other hand, is more divisive and greedier, manifesting itself as
a superficial type of individualism and particular ideals. Debaters strive to portray others as phony
and shallow, and they dismiss current trends as unimportant. When an ENTP sees someone who is
passionate, they may try to out-passion them in a deceptive manner. Moreover, their moral sense
may appear juvenile and as more of an act and a pretense to demonstrate moral superiority when
it's suitable. Their shadow Introverted Feeling (Fi) can frequently turn inward, causing the ENTP
to question their own morality and talents. It's easy to blame themselves and others,
and it's even harder to see things from alternative perspectives. They find it difficult
to trust themselves and others, and they become more introspective about their choices. The ENTP
begins to have trust issues and feels compelled to focus solely on themselves and their own wants.
Number 3 - Unpleasantness Because of their shadow function of
Extraverted Thinking representing the ENTPs Dark Side, instead of looking internally to
digest information and analyze facts, they begin to search elsewhere. In effort to get things done,
they may become abrasive in their delivery and act aggressively.
Rather than learning from past mistakes, the ENTP develops a fear of failure and becomes
irritated when things don't go as planned. This can make them impatient with others
and less able to comprehend where they are coming from because they appear to
be completely focused on things and things that would ordinarily be irrelevant to them.

Number 4 - Impulsivity
Extraverted Sensing (Se) is the shadow function that is also referred to as the Demon role,
and it appears in both self-destructive ways which perfectly represents the dark side of an ENTP.
It's also known as an "internal saboteur," and it appears when the ego's integrity framework
dissolves. It carries negative feelings such as anxiety and anger. Excessive consumption
of sensory delights and physical stimulation in general is referred to as Se Demon. The Se Demon
of an ENTP can manifest as reckless and impulsive behaviors to perceived dangers. In response to a
perceived danger or feelings of inadequacy, an ENTP violates or gives up their dominant
Extraverted Intuition (Ne) while attempting to overcompensate their Extraverted Sensing
(Se). Extraverted Sensing allows most individuals to be very aware of what is going on around them
and to be in touch with the present moment, but it can also cause the ENTP to stress over many things
and behave impulsively and defensively. This is a very disturbing Trait Of An ENTP Dark Side.
Number 5 - Intolerance ENTPs use their Introverted
Thinking to help them improve and develop their skills and knowledge. They also aid and
encourage others with their Ti. The ENTP's function's shadow Extraverted Thinking (Te), on
the other hand, is significantly more critical and judgmental. In reaction to increased sensitivity
to other people's criticism or scorn, Debaters may become more intolerant of disorganization,
chaos, and illogical nonsense. Furthermore, they may become domineering and demanding, criticizing
and insulting others for failing to fulfill standards and trampling on others' feelings, often
without recognizing it. The ENTPs' intolerance not only rejects but also devalues other people's
beliefs that differ from their own. As a result, despite their excellent communication skills,
they are sometimes perceived as rigid individuals. Debaters can get super frustrated when people
cannot keep up with their quick thinking. ENTPs are relentless in their pursuit of efficiency,
and they strike out at anyone who criticizes their tactics or ideas.
Number 6 - Uncompromising
ENTPs are naturally creative, adaptive, and impulsive, and they lead with their
Extraverted Intuition. They have a tendency for being intellectually flexible and open to a
variety of alternatives. The opposing Introverted Intuition (Ni) of Debaters on the other hand,
can cause ENTP to become more inflexible and single-minded. When ENTPs believe that someone
or something is impeding their ability to express their creativity and uniqueness,
they may shift their intuition inwards and remain unaware of other points of view. Debaters are
inclined to disregard not only the ideas but even the individuals unless they can back up their
claims in a round of intellectual sparring. Either a suggestion can withstand rational examination or
it isn't worth considering. Despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary, their use of Introverted
Intuition (Ni) tends to emerge as a restricted and deluded assumption of how events will unfold.
Number 7 – Insensitivity
It is common for ENTPs to miscalculate others' feelings and push their arguments
well beyond others' tolerance levels. People with this personality type also don't believe
emotional arguments are relevant in such disputes, exacerbating the problem. ENTP can be arrogant,
deceptive and egocentric. They are always surrounded by thoughts, and while this isn't
necessarily a bad thing, the destructive ENTP will go to any length to pursue their ideas
into objectives. In order to obtain what they require to attain their next aim, they may lie,
deceive, or steal from someone. They can also love teasing individuals to see what occurs.
Trolling is marvellous fun for the Debater, who is unconcerned about the emotional suffering
they cause others. They are unpredictable and untrustworthy, forsaking loved ones in the pursuit
of their erratic desires. ENTPs have a tendency to misinterpret other people's feelings or to walk
all over them in a discussion or disagreement. They tend to view emotions as irrational,
especially when they are young, and they can be very dismissive of individuals who appear to be
overly sensitive to them. The ENTP is a lovely and good-hearted buddy to everyone who shows
interest in their plans. However, when a person rejects an idea, the ENTP may discriminate, mock,
or bully that individual. This is a very disturbing Trait Of An ENTP Dark Side.
