ENTP (5w6)
The Grinch personality type is ENTP, one of the 16 personality types identified by the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) test. The Grinch is described as someone who is “…a highly creative, determined, active, energetic, charismatic, and optimistic”. Much like the Grinch in the Dr. Seuss story, ENTP’s are often misidentified. As a result, many ENTP’s are unable to relate to their true selves, which is why they rarely reveal their true selves to others.
This inability to express themselves is not only a problem for ENTP’s. Many of us have seen ENTP’s who have difficulty expressing themselves in relationships with others. This difficulty in expressing themselves seems to be more of an internal struggle than an external one. Because of this, ENTP’s often feel misunderstood by others, which makes them feel uncomfortable disclosing their true selves to others.
Because of their Fi dominant Fi part, ENTP’s are often described as being creative and natural-born leaders. They are also described as being very challenging and provocative, especially when it comes to helping others achieve their goals.
