ENTPs learn best by studying, exchanging and analysing ideas. They have a thirst for knowledge and enjoy exploring theories and concepts. They prefer to learn in an intellectually stimulating atmosphere in which debate and problem solving are encouraged, and feel more comfortable when the learning is unstructured and they are free to experiment and follow their own interests.
They are good at conceptualising and abstract reasoning, though may be less interested in learning facts and figures. They tend not to accept a teacher’s authority without question, and will readily point out any inconsistencies in an argument or method. Memorisation of facts, sequential exercises and hands-on training are less useful to them than discussion, analysis, brainstorming, fast paced teaching, multimedia, workshops, lectures and discussion groups.
| are quick to grasp possibilities and are stimulated by ideas |
| enjoy utilising models and theories |
| enjoy competition, personal involvement and participation |
| are good at analysis, abstract thinking and conceptualising |
| tend to give their creativity and inspiration free reign |
| may need to think about how they can use what they have learnt |
| ask searching questions |
| benefit from developing thoroughness and meeting targets |
| experiencing new problems/opportunities from which to learn |
| stepping into the limelight or positions of high visibility, e.g. chairing meetings, leading discussions, giving presentations |
| engaged in a wide variety of diverse activities |
| involved with other people, e.g. discussing ideas, solving problems as part of a team |
| acquiring knowledge which is part of a system, model, concept, theory |
| given the chance to question and probe the basic methodology, assumptions or logic behind something, e.g. by taking part in a question and answer session, by checking a paper for inconsistencies |
| intellectually stretched, e.g. by analysing a complex situation, by being tested in a tutorial session, by learning with high calibre people who ask searching questions |
| listening or reading about ideas and concepts that emphasise rationality or logic and are well argued |
| analysing and then generalising the reasons for success or failure |
| required to understand and participate in complex situations |
| required to engage in solitary work, e.g. reading, writing, thinking on their own |
| involved in a passive role, e.g. listening to lectures, explanations, statements of how things should be done, reading, watching |
| asked to stand back and not be involved |
| asked to repeat essentially the same activity over and over again, e.g. when practising |
| given precise instructions to follow with little room for manoeuvre |
| required to attend to detail or tie up loose ends |
| asked to participate in situations emphasising emotions and feelings |
However, engaging in learning activities that contain some of the above is often of greater benefit in terms of their overall development, as discussed earlier.
Now you know your learning style, you can choose the type of learning that suits you, or adapt learning material or courses you are attending to incorporate some of the ways you will learn effectively.
