ENTP (Extroverted iNtuitive Thinking Perceiving) is one of the sixteen personality types from personality type systems based on C.G. Jung, which best known are the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), Keirsey Temperament Sorter and Socionics.

Referring to Keirsey ENTPs belong to the temperament of the Rational and are called Inventor.

In Socionics ENTps belong to the club of the Researchers, the alpha Quadra and are named "Seeker" or Don Quixote. Another notation for ENTp is ILE (which is an acronym for Intuitive-Logical Extratim, referring to the cognitive functions).
