OK, tell me how it ENTP fits the 3 personality in the points I covered.
Impulsivity? Leaving projects in the middle? *Hating* routine?
I agree that ENTP and 3w4 both are the following:
-Alert
-Original, individual, independent
-Initiator
-Many projects
-Energy, dynamism
-Tireless at working what interests them
-Enthusiastic
-Full of ideas
-Power to inspire
-Perceptive energy
All these characteristics I find in myself. I am those things i wrote above (maybe not as perceptive as I would like to be). But I almost never leave projects in the middle. I work to the end to finish them and almost always successfully. If I set my to it it is done and in the best possible and efficient way. It cannot be otherwise.
If I am impulsive it is because I am caught by my 4 wing.
I am always after new things, but this is nothing compared to 7s around me (my husband and my son). I don't mind routine when it fits.
So there you are!
As I said before I have decided not to be categorical about things. But at the moment I tend to think that an ENTP 3w4 is a rare being!. ESTP OK!
I met Hurley and Donson on the weekend. We talked. In Hurley's opinion I was either an 8 or a 3.
But I know I am a 3. I know my motivations!
Not that I choose to be a narcist or a deceiver or an aggressive hostile being! I am not those anyway!
I am a nice honest playful 3 with arms extended to both wings if you like.
Talk about self-promotion!
What shall we play now that we've been serious for a long time. I am bored!

: Anyway, I think you might be mixing type 1 and 3
: The entp are highly incompatible with E-1 type, I think it fit very well with 3w4.
