    I've always been told that I'm pretty well-dressed, so I'm not sure about "weak aesthetic taste." I think that goes to the ENTJ. Maybe "has trouble mantaining psychological distance." I've always found this to be true.
    But, for a certainty, back then,
    We loved so many, yet hated so much,
    We hurt others and were hurt ourselves...

    Yet even then, we ran like the wind,
    Whilst our laughter echoed,
    Under cerulean skies...

    Types that have weak Si have also weak aestethic taste.
    ENTjs have Si as their weakest function, so they should win the award

    Actually, I'm with Joe on this one. After reading through a second time, it's not a very accurate representation of ENTP.

    Hugo, don't assume you're always right. Maybe ask people who are that type what describes them best instead of assuming that your judgements about them are perfect.

    ENTP should be something like this

    Strengths:
    -Socially adaptable
    -Excellent problem solver
    -Verbally and cerebrally quick

    Weaknesses:
    -Often has trouble maintaining acceptable psychological distance (makes others feel uncomfortable)
    -Can be tactless, may unintentionally offend others
    -Idealized self image
    But, for a certainty, back then,
    We loved so many, yet hated so much,
    We hurt others and were hurt ourselves...

    Yet even then, we ran like the wind,
    Whilst our laughter echoed,
    Under cerulean skies...

    After further reading, I've come to the conclusion that most of your descriptions are, well, fucked. Try again.

    Irrational expenses of resources in view of excessive scrupulousness.
    Is this like being super-cheap or super-outlandish in terms of spending money? Either way, it still works.

    YES!!


    BTW, I don't think I am pessimistic about the future, but I can ignore problems in the future. If you change it to something like that, the rest fits me.
    MAYBE I'LL BREAK DOWN!!!

    The ENTp strengths sound like me, but the weaknesses only sorta do. However... there are other type strengths/weaknesses that match me, and I'm not sure I like the ENTp list. Here is a list I posted a while ago in another forum. It's funny because I had a different answer for the 3rd weakness and changed it to the one that's there now.


    ENTp:
    Positive:
    1.) Love taking on challenges
    2.) Good at coming up with ideas/open minded
    3.) Excellent at spotting patterns

    Negative:
    1.) Has little to no concept of what an appropriate psychological distance is!
    2.) Hard time espressing emotion, particularly positive emotion, and particulary in verbal form
    3.) Not great at sticking with decisions?

    Joe, I'll eat my hand if you're INTj. Although I wouldn't be surpised if you were something with a little more Te, like an ENTj.

    ENTJ...Yuck.

    Nevermind. Please don't be an ENTj.

    Not sure about sticking with decisions. Once I make up my mind, I can be pretty stubborn sometimes.
    But, for a certainty, back then,
    We loved so many, yet hated so much,
    We hurt others and were hurt ourselves...

    Yet even then, we ran like the wind,

    lol - that is exactly what my ENTP boss was like. My colleague and I once talked about it:
    ME: He's supposed to train me, but he never tells me anything. He only pounces on me as soon as I'm making a mistake. He never praises me. I feel like a failure.
    COLLEAGUE: Don't worry, he's like that with everybody. You know what the nicest thing was he ever said to me?
    ME: No, what?
    COLLEAGUE: "You're not as stupid as you look."

    Your strengths:
    • Good understanding of a human nature, human mutual relations; Aww, gosh... I hope so?
    • Keenness and attentiveness to people. Not always.
    • Ability to make unusual mental connections.

    Your weaknesses:
    • Lack of resoluteness and initiative; True
    • Excessive carefulness and excessive detailed elaboration at planning. Sounds about right. Just add in an "unrealistic" somewhere, and you're all set.
    • Lack of reliable insight into self.

    Your weaknesses:

    • Pessimistic sight at the future;
    It fits apart from the Pessimistic sight at the future, for the same reason rocky gave, I tend to ignore or not consider the future very much until it arrives. I would say neutral sight of the future is more often the case when i do think about it.

    Yes. Very true. And I would say a hard time handling their own emotions, too.

    Positive: quick, out of the box, ideas and thinking.

    These descriptions seem mbti related, 'j/p mix'.

    The ENTp ENTj are described in the above.

    ISTp: Sense of duty and working capacity and Pessimistic sight at the future are more ISTj

    ISTj: persistence is more ISTp

    ESTp: Inability flexibly to behave in not scheduled situations is more ESTj

    ESTj: High activity and Boldness are more ESTp

    INTp: Attentiveness to people, skill to stimulate them in work is more INTj

    INTj: Sluggishness is more INTp

    etc etc

    There is something around the j/p in these descriptions going on here i think.
    Friendly ISTp
    Interested in everything, yes, EVERYTHING

    Yeah. I was somewhat puzzled to see especially the weakness of weak aesthetic taste assigned to the ENTp...

    After reading the ENTj description, I have come to the conclusion that Hugo is addicted to crack.
    But, for a certainty, back then,
    We loved so many, yet hated so much,
    We hurt others and were hurt ourselves...

    Yet even then, we ran like the wind,
    Whilst our laughter echoed,
    Under cerulean skies...
