How could an INTp turn into an ENTp
Hi everyone this is my first post.
All my life I knew I was different than everyone else. When I went to grade school everyone(including teachers) thought I was stupid and I knew I was alot smarter than everyone knew I was. They even threw me in special education classes until 5th grade when they gave me a test on what I knew and they found out I was capable of doing 7-8th grade work. Being different and trying to hiding all my feelings has caused me alot of pain and I want to atleast be able to fit in when necessary(Like putting on a mask). I want to feel and be competant in all situations that I am in. Using the internet to further the understanding of myself I found the myers-briggs personality typing and I learned Intp fit me perfectly. Then like piecing a puzzle together the answer have revealed itself to me.
This is what I found and I would really like input from entps and intps. I figured that when an Intp extraverts they temporarily become a weak Entp. Intp=Ti,Ne,Si,Fe and Entp=Ne,Ti,Si,Fe. when I look at that I see that and Intp and Entp are basically the same person with inverted functions.
My questions are: Most of these questions I have my own answers for but I want to hear everyone elses opinion.
What exactly is the relationship between Dominant Ne and Auxiliary Ti?
How does one switch his dominant Ti to serve his Auxiliary Ne?
How and why does an Entp use his Tertiary Fe where as a Intp squelches his feelings?
How exactly does an Entp use his Tertiary Fe to assist his Ne and Ti?
What is Si and why is it the Entp's fourth function?
How exactly does an Intp use his Tertiary Si to assist his Ti and Ne?
What happens when an Entp is in a situation where he has to be introverted? if that's possible.
What are some things Entps do to train their Ne like playing chess for example?
What are some things an Intp could do to train his Fe function?
If an Intp and an Entp are the same person with inverted functions what motivates one to choose intp or Entp.

from my understanding, introversion is a make up of the brain. you can't change it. from my research, i think introversion is related to alphawaves in the brain (a slower wave that introduces creativity on different levels). where as extroversion is closer to beta waves - those hyper freaks at parties.
introverts shut down when exposed to loud noises, lots of people, too much action, etc. extroverts love it. loud parties everyone loves - except for the I's.
you can sort of behave like an E. after all i think Steve Jobs (of mac), is an INTJ - and he's on stage pushing their crummy product line. basically you need a bunch of confidence in some area. and screw the people who don't like you or are jealous.
the real problems start when your great at one thing and terrible at another. i had the same problem, only i didn't have the internet, and i assumed i was dumb until 12th grade. for me, they taught in words, but i learned in pictures. chances are i was, or am right now, eons beyond them. yet no one will believe you until you can do everything the other's can do... chances are though, regaurdless of the problem good or bad - you will be made fun of anyway. kids are mean.
