ENTP — The Inventor
Comes up with ideas faster than they can write them down.
Who is The Inventor
The Inventor loves new ideas and the debates where they are born. They easily see how things could be done differently and aren't afraid to break with the usual. Repeating bores them; trying things out excites them.
Charming and resourceful, they can talk almost anyone around, but sometimes they argue just for the fun of it. Their main challenge is taking at least one idea all the way to the finish line.
