Famous ENTP:  Ted Turner

For ENTPs the dominant quality in their lives is their attention to the outer world of possibilities; they are excited by continuous involvement in anything new, whether it be new ideas, new people, or new activities.  They look for patterns and meaning in the world, and they often have a deep need to analyze, to understand, and to know the nature of things.  ENTPs are typically energetic, enthusiastic people who lead spontaneous and adaptable lives.
