Sounds introverted

And you are really exstroverted ?

I know that somewhere between 3 and 4 and 7 and 8, there is what I would call ENTP energy


Anyway if you have noted, that in a descrptions of ENTP under stress
the need to avoid situations that can end in failure, is bigger in this type
than in any other type.
