60% Extraversion, 66% Intuition, 66% Thinking, 33% Judging
They often have a perverse sense of humour, and play devil's advocate regardless of consequence. They sometimes confuse, even hurt, those who cannot understand the concept of argument as a sport. ENTPs are optimists. ENTPs have a tolerance for, and enjoyment of the complex. Enthusiastic, ENTPs are apt to express interest in everything, and thus unwittingly inspire others who find themselves caught up in an ENTP idea. The ENTP is the most reluctant of all types to do things in a traditional manner.
Below are a couple of summaries of the ENTP Personality type:
#1
ENTP -- Often considered a PRICK!
People love to hate you, because you love to argue. The strange thing
is you probably took that as a compliment. Why, I bet you've already
got a witty comeback all lined up ready to throw right back at me.
What you don't realise is that your inane obsession with debating
pisses everyone off. Whatever happened to us all trying to get alone? I
mean, you're so annoying people disagree with you for the damn sake of
it! NOBODY cares about your abundant opinions. Trust me.
Believe it or not, but there's more to life than your expansive
knowledge and sharp repertoire. When was the last time you Brushed your teeth?
While you're up in Nevernever land, getting excited over future
possibilities and your crazy theories, WE have to put up with your
awful stench. I can smell you from here.
Your personality is ideal for that of a future lawyer and because everyone already hates you, you have nothing to lose.

A more Professional summary of Extraverted iNtuitive Thinking Perceiving - ENTP (Credit this write up to by Marina Margaret Heiss)
"Clever" is the word that perhaps describes ENTPs best. The professor who juggles half a dozen ideas for research papers and grant proposals in his mind while giving a highly entertaining lecture on an abstruse subject is a classic example of the type. So is the stand-up comedian whose lampoons are not only funny, but incisively accurate.
ENTPs are usually verbally as well as cerebrally quick, and generally love to argue--both for its own sake, and to show off their often-impressive skills. They tend to have a perverse sense of humor as well, and enjoy playing devil's advocate. They sometimes confuse, even inadvertently hurt, those who don't understand or accept the concept of argument as a sport.
ENTPs are as innovative and ingenious at problem-solving as they are at verbal gymnastics; on occasion, however, they manage to outsmart themselves. This can take the form of getting found out at "sharp practice"--ENTPs have been known to cut corners without regard to the rules if it's expedient -- or simply in the collapse of an over-ambitious juggling act. Both at work and at home, ENTPs are very fond of "toys"--physical or intellectual, the more sophisticated the better. They tend to tire of these quickly, however, and move on to new ones.
ENTPs are basically optimists, but in spite of this (perhaps because of it?), they tend to become extremely petulant about small setbacks and inconveniences. (Major setbacks they tend to regard as challenges, and tackle with determin- ation.) ENTPs have little patience with those they consider wrongheaded or unintelligent, and show little restraint in demonstrating this. However, they do tend to be extremely genial, if not charming, when not being harassed by life in general.
In terms of their relationships with others, ENTPs are capable of bonding very closely and, initially, suddenly, with their loved ones. Some appear to be deceptively offhand with their nearest and dearest; others are so demonstrative that they succeed in shocking co-workers who've only seen their professional side. ENTPs are also good at acquiring friends who are as clever and entertaining as they are. Aside from those two areas, ENTPs tend to be oblivious of the rest of humanity, except as an audience -- good, bad, or potential.
ENTP are about 5% of the population. There are 16 personality types are mixes of the following....
Introverted or Extraverted
Sensing or iNtuitive
Feeling or Thinking
Perceiving or Judging
