the most common misconception here is that ENTPs are these huge slackers. People think they are bad in school, don't get far in life, aren't high achievers, not motivated, can't finish anything, etc etc etc.

That is completely false. Most of the ENTPs I know are very well educated and accomplished. Posters are wrong when they say ENTPs don't get things done. That's simply not true, and can apply to any and all types.
