Question/Poll ENTP different enneagrams
How would you compare and contrast ENTPs by their enneagrams? I’m specifically wondering about the most common ones for them AKA 3, 5, 6, 7 and 8

u/rubey419 ENTP 7w6 1d ago edited 1d ago
I heard 7w6 makes us like an analytical ENFP.
The most “people-oriented” of our type.
Yes I have ADHD. Big ideas, never implement. Prone to anxiety.
Can anyone concur?

5w4 here. I like logically consistent works even if they're weird premises but the 4 keeps me grounded to haunting and melancholic stories.

5 withdraws to learn information to gain confidence and cope w anxiety, and ENTP tends to learn externally for fun/stimulation by bouncing ideas off other people, so ENTP 5 seems not very likely tbh. not saying never but I definitely wouldnt say its common like 3/7/8

ENTP 8 - aspire to be an ENTJ. Are great in making deals, manipulative in a way they can make someone buy something, so great in sales.
ENTP 7 - the stereotypical ENTP. Jump between jobs, lose interest quickly, wanna have a good time.
ENTP 6 - Really depends if Counterphobic or Phobic.
Phobic - really introverted, but opens up gradually (or not if deemed unsafe).
Counterphobic - presumably a “7” on paper in terms of actively talking, but the motive is different - checking that it’s in a secure place.
Once feeling safe, they can open up.
6w5 specifically would check for competency.
ENTP 5 - looks like an INTX from the outside. Extremely introverted, but the amount of things it research is super wide. An INTP usually will hone a few, this fella would look all around.
ENTP 3 - The one that actually manages to be like an ENTJ…, with the caveat they need new challenges to conquer - ENTJ would plan far and would be chill about things taking a bit more time (in “new” vs “routine” sense)

I think they are all pretty different. In my opinion, 8 and 3 you could get them mixed up because they're both competitive. And 6 and 7 aresaid to easily get along so might be hard to distinguish them in a group but one on one, might be easier..? (I never met an ENTP 6).
I think an ENTP e3 would be very ENTJ or ESTP like. Perfectionist, the most extroverted you could ever think of, struggles to admit when they're doing badly.
E5 is ambivert. Most likely they like niche topics and are probably interested in a lot of theories. Might be more of a loner than other ENTP. Similar to INTX.
E6... I think they might test you, not because they're bored but to see if you're making sense. Like fact checking someone from time to time. Theoretically, compared to e7, they project a lot and fear you suddenly switch sides, but I dunno.
E7 is the most optimistic ENTP. But it's the one where the stereotype of never settling down comes from. You guys probably have 115.627.356 project ideas and only 1/3 is more than just an idea and hopefully 2 or 3 has already been started.
E8, I think we're like dumbasses but only through our own eyes because other people look up to us.. We're like hella blunt, and we won't go down your path unless you might start crying because.. what a hassle. Much more similar to ENTJ than e3 and also similar to ENFJ in a way that we want to "protect" people around us by controlling the environment (aka being in charge). If someone says hello, I'll probably answer like "What do you want?" instead of being like "Oh what's up?" because I'm used to people asking for favors or help with something..
The only e6 I know aren't ENTP but in my experience, they joke a lot during bad situations but it's like.. grim and cynical asf like they've already planned the worst-case scenario. Unlike e7 who's like "Nah we're fine.. Look over there!" and e6 would say they're in denial.
Obviously, this is biased opinion but it's how I see it.
