Dominant Extraverted Intuition (Ne): Tony works for the future of mankind. He is not just focused on one narrow goal but has multiple ambitions for it. For example, he has the idea of being Iron Man and builds machines like B.A.R.F which are completely unrelated to his idea of being Iron Man.

Dominant Extraverted Intuition (Ne): When Scott first takes the Ant-Man suit back to his apartment after stealing it, he puts it on and presses the button that causes him to shrink purely out of curiosity. He uses obvious humour during the fight at the airport when he tells Tony that he’s his conscience and that they don’t talk much these days, and when he asks if anyone brought any orange slices. When he meets Steve, he acts kind of hyper about meeting Captain America. He is creative about breaking into places, like when he freezes the safe door.

Dominant Extraverted Intuition (Ne): Vinculus has no problem bouncing around from place to place, living on the run for over eight years. He can anticipate problems and come up with solutions to them easily, like cutting Norrell’s bell cord and selling Strange spells. He tends to speak metaphorically (“I am the Book” and “[Strange and Norrell] are the spell John Uskglass is doing”). He understands certain things immediately, like that Mr Norrell is a liar and why his skin changed. He sees his new skin as all it could be, and the possibilities thrill him. Who cares what it is, what could it be?

Dominant Extraverted Intuition (Ne): Peter is good at figuring things out, but not making long-term plans, like when he distracted Ronin and grabbed the Orb so the planet wouldn’t be destroyed. Sometimes he spaces out, which allows Gamora to attack him to steal the Orb and get hit in the head at the prison. Before the Guardians go to stop Ronin, he tries to give them hope by giving them a pep talk.

Dominant Intuition (Ne): Odysseus is a man of new ideas, and this accounts for his resilience during the Trojan War. When everyone else, even Agamemnon, is exhausted, Odysseus continues to see positive possibilities in their situation. He is the most insistent supporter of the war––not because of an Ni-style drive, but through his Ne focus on new potential. Odysseus’ Ne gives him the enthusiasm to put new energy in his war-weary fellow Greeks. After the war is over, Odysseus sails around, following a string of new ideas, rather than heading straight home like most of the other Greeks.

Ne: Jack is enthralled by new ideas and possibilities to the point of becoming incredibly unhappy when he is barred from them (he laments the “same routine” that is his role every year in Halloween). When he discovers Christmas Town, he is excited not merely by the sights, sounds, and smells but by the freshness of the concept of Christmas. He tries to relay his excitement to the residents of H Continue reading

Extroverted Intuition (Ne): R2-D2 acts on impulse, and usually makes things up as he goes along. His willingness to try things that go against expectations leads to frequent disagreements with C-3PO, who prefers tried and true ways of doing things. R2-D2 often lets his attention wander so much that he gets distracted in the middle of doing something, searching for Leia while everyone else is trying to escape the Death Star, and leaving his repair job of C-3PO incomplete to fix the hyperdrive on the Millennium Falcon. R2-D2’s impulsiveness can make him unpredictable, which helps him escape from hostile forces on several occasions. R2-D2 can ignore his environment while he is working on something, even if he is in the crossfire of a big battle. Continue reading

Gineasll asked: You once said that you hate your xNTP professors because they have all the opposite functions of an INTJ? Could you go into more detail on how that plays out? Are there any other types you hate as professors?
I love you! ….distantly, and without emotional investment…Hold on, let me revise that: I love you theoretically!
I have nothing against xNTPs as people. In fact, I love my xNTP friends, but yes, I hate them as teachers. I hate xSFJ teachers equally well (same functions as the xNTP).
Here’s why. Continue reading

Extroverted Intuition (Ne): Meowth is always bursting with ideas: practical, impractical, and everywhere in between. He always has some new scheme to catch Pikachu or another valuable Pokemon. Some of these are more outrageous than others, and all of them tend to fail. Meowth seldom or never revisits old ideas for catching Pikachu, preferring to devise new ones instead. Especially in the Advanced Generation Continue reading
First, I’ll suggest taking a look at the Understanding Your INTJ Friend page. I’ve probably updated it since you initially asked this question.
As an ENTP, you have all opposite functions to an INTJ, which will naturally make it difficult for you to understand them. However, I have an INTP family member with whom I actually have a fantastic relationship, so it is possible for opposite types to get along.
The best advice I can give you comes from a principle Continue reading
