So I began doing brain puzzles to keep my brain from going to mush after retirement and I came across one that piqued my curiosity. I was doing an acrostic that entailed words that describe certain levels of happiness. Normally, I’m pretty good at this type of puzzle when they deal with facts, for example terms used in literature. But today I had to do one that included words that were various forms of happiness. I have to admit that after some perplexed thinking I resorted to looking at the answers. They were all words I easily knew but just wouldn’t register. Every time I took the MBTI, I always scored high on Thinking. This got me wondering if this is indicative of my difficulty in completing the puzzle and if other ENTPs also find it difficult to relate to feelings.

My music tastes have always been towards “alternative “ music, particularly rock, although there are some other styles of classical, C&W, and Hip-Hop, etc. that hit a chord with me. However, I have never been interested in standard pop music. I love rock music but tend to like the groups that have a different sound. Once they start sounding mainstream I move on. I have such a spectrum of preferences so it is hard to explain. Some of my favorite songs are Rock Lobster (B-52s), Lips Like Sugar (Echo and the Bunnymen), Feel Good, Inc (Gorillaz), and Hot Thoughts (Spoon) to name just a few. I grew up with early classic rock but was drawn to it rather than the “top 40” hits. Is this typical of ENTPs or just my own personal taste?
