ENTP(外向／直觉／思考／理解) 是一种基于分析心理学所发展出来的MBTI的十六种人格型态之一。MBTI 评估标准发展自分析心理学家卡尔.G.荣格的著作心理类型。荣格基于他从临床观察得出的认知功能理论假设了一个心理类型学说。
在荣格的基础上, 别人发展了他的理论。荣格性格测评被包含在了由 Isabel Briggs Myers 和 Katharine Cook Briggs 发展来的测评。 在 David Keirsey 的 Keirsey Temperament Sorter 理论中, Keirsey 称 ENTP 为发明家, 为四种理性者性格中的一种。 ENTP 约占人群的 2–5%.

ENTP (extroversion, intuition, thinking, pe****tion) is an abbreviation used in the publications of the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) to refer to one of sixteen personality types. The MBTI assessment was developed from the work of prominent psychiatrist Carl Jung in his book Psychological Types. Jung proposed a psychological typology based on the theories of cognitive functions that he developed through his clinical observations.
