At times, ENTp seem to want mutually acceptable closure on issues but their open-ended natures often subvert this objective. They really try to walk in the other person's shoes or place the rationale of others above their own but usually fall short. When they try to engage with others, they end up lecturing. Under stress, they try to adapt rather than evade but in doing so can become unnaturally tenacious, myopic and reactive. They really want resolution and acceptance but usually end up swaying the outcomes because they generally consider their perceptions as more important than those of others so objectivity suffers when things become personal. And, personal outcomes often become too abstract or notional even for their own liking.
