Of all types, the Exploration/Accuracy genius is the most focused on – and motivated by – possibilities. Few things are as satisfying as blazing a new trail, often in both a literal and metaphoric sense. When at their best they are extremely optimistic, often charismatic and inspiring. When in love with a new concept or venture, people around them can get caught up in the excitement of what would otherwise seem to be an impossible idea. Around an effusive Exploration/Accuracy genius, anything seems possible. Despite their energetic demeanor, they are rationalists at their core, and ideas more than people will ignite their passion. Almost without fail, it is some form of science (hard or soft) that will be their first love.

ENTP Defensive Strategy
Tertiary (10 Year Old) :
Extraverted Feeling
“Harmony”
Harmony (Extraverted Feeling) can show up in a
couple of distinct ways. First, it can be a
preoccupation with other people’s opinion of you,
your reputation and/or keeping peace at the cost
of your personal truth. Second, it can be used as
emotional bullying or aggression when you feel
cornered.
If you let your 10 year old take a directive role you
may have more people like and admire you, and
you may successfully ‘keep the peace’ but you’ll
lose touch with honesty and logic. You’ll find
yourself emotionally triggered by trivialities. Anger
will become an acceptable ‘go-to’ emotion. In the
worst cases, you lose your self-respect.
You need to take time to truly evaluate what truth
is to you and be willing to point out when the
‘emperor has no clothes’ to maintain integrity,
personal worth and make an impact in the world.

6. ENTP - Where To Go From Here
Auxiliary (Co-Pilot) :
Introverted Thinking
“Accuracy”
The enemy of Accuracy is social politicking -
giving in to pressure from others, playing status
games, emotional drama and approval seeking.
Accuracy requires focus, dispassionate analysis
and rigorous logic. Don’t mistake enjoying debate
with championing unpopular beliefs and
positions. There is room for kindness and
persuasion. But Accuracy isn’t about winning
arguments, it’s about relentlessly seeking truth
regardless of other’s opinions.
Set up your conditions to give yourself plenty of
time to zoom in, analyze data and clean slice
information.
A good way to practice this technique is to
observe how often you lie to other people. For
example, when people ask how you’re doing do
you answer honestly? Ask how you can be more
honest with both yourself and others, and if this
honesty guides you to observe any cognitive
dissonance within you.
