I am actually not ENTP, but ISTJ. Years ago, I tested as ENTP, but my recent test put me as an ISTJ.

This may depend on your current age and your age when you originally took the test. This personality typing system is based on the 8 functions developed by Carl Jung. Everybody uses the same 8 functions, but in different orders and varying degrees of development. But as life progresses and hopefully we mature, we eventually start being more well-rounded, and using our less "natural" functions.

The functions of the typical ENTP are in this order:

N,T,F,S

The functions of an ISTJ are in this order:

S,T,F,N

Other than the You probably know enough about yourself to know you're more a Thinker than a Feeler, but other life changes and function development could easily have you answering as a Sensate when you're an Intuitive (because you may be actively using that function now).

It may help to think back on childhood. An imaginative child or a reality-based child? A "responsible" child or a "head in the clouds" child? As an adult, a detail-oriented "inspector" or an "inventor"? As a child, an introvert or an extravert?

Hmm, interesting way to look at it. As I see it, I am generally balanced in the middle of things. I am more of a thinker than a feeler - always have been, but even that is changing as I age... In different times of my life, I have been more introverted and then more extroverted. I think naturally I am an extrovert, but I can also happily do things alone.

But I do think we change a lot as we age. I used to be much more of a dreamer, but now I am much more grounded in reality (we could go on about why that happened, but I pretty much know).

I think it's really most interesting to watch how we change in life. It also helps give insight into why we may or may not be totally happy in our careers/life.

As to when I took this before - it was probably around 10 years ago, when I was in my teens. :)
