ENTP
Here are some exerpts from M.M. Heiss explanation of ENTP (seeing as currently I'm the only one):
"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.
Some Famous ENTPs:
Alexander the Great
Confederate General J. E. B. Stuart
Sir Walter Raleigh
Fictional:
Mercutio, from Romeo and Juliet
Horace Rumpole, from John Mortimer's Rumpole of the Bailey series
Dorothy L. Sayers's detective Lord Peter Wimsey

-I can totally agree with her explanations and conclusions. I can also identify with Mercution from Romeo and Juliet; having read the book, I can identify myself with his personality involving goofing off with sensable rationalism. People laugh at my jokes aswell. I think its cool that some of my idols like John Candy and Rodney Dangerfield (i dont get any respect at all either

) are ENTPs aswell.-
