Positives: Smart, can work quickly, easy going and friendly
Pitfalls: procrastination/laziness, staying on the ball with social skills
Keys to success:
1. on procrastination/laziness, who knows? it is a problem that many have ruminated on. i still struggle with it. but, i feel like i have had a lot of success as well. the thing is, i know i am a hard worker and capable of working hard day in and day out. i try to focus on that knowledge often. but since moving beyond menial jobs in HS and college, procrastination is more of an issue, i think mainly because it is mental work instead of physical/relatively mindless. mental work is actually much harder than physical work.
2. social skills - This one is less of an issue than procrastination, it seems to me. I have great social skills in general. Everyone likes me. I interview well. I am gregarious on a regular basis, but it's not my default state- I have to psych myself up for it a bit (which I find easy to do as long as there is fun to be had or an objective to be accomplished by it AND I'm not too tired/worn down). I think the biggest issue I face is not continually maintaining open lines of communication. When I communicate, things are good. But I have been told that I am very hard to read. I think when I am in chill mode and not communicating, people don't know what to think and get the wrong idea sometimes, like they think I am uncomfortable or insecure when really I'm fine. So I think it's an issue of doing social things to keep the juices flowing, and always thinking about staying communicative with people.

Many flaws in your reasoning, bro.
First of all, F500 ceo is not the definition of success. There are many people who I would deem adequately successful who are not F500 ceos. I would also take a more holistic idea of success and say that many F500 ceos are not even particularly successful at life overall, in my opinion.
Second, even if every single F500 ceo was ENTJ, and that was the pinnacle of success, that would tell us absolutely nothing about whether ENTJs are more likely to be successful in general. More interesting in terms of monetary success would be data as to the average earnings of each type, but I'm sure good data on that does not exist.

lol only 2% - 5% of the population is ENTJ. If they're the majority of anything it says something.

Also S and F are far more common amongst women so we know how well S and F types get things done lol (but likely more inclined to nurture). Also virtually no women are ENTJ or INTJ.

CR, this describes me as well. Honestly, INTP seems like a strong type: naturally smart, but chill (via procrastination). Unlike our buttfuck faggot INTJ brothers in that regard.
Really the biggest downside though is that other types can be just as smart, but have diverse personality traits that can actually complement that talent, rather than serving it wholly.

You sound like a pretty good INTP, lil breh. But I wonder how strong you lean INTP since you left out arguably the most important aspect of being one: dat internal monologue. I can have long, developed conversations in my head while listening to other people talk, including positing alternative arguments or responses from the speakers and developing those paths. Makes us 180 attorneys because we inherently excel at hypotheticals, alternative arguments, accepting things as true for same of argument, etc. Many non-INTPs can't do these things, particularly non attorneys. People fight hypotheticals all the time, and if you ask them to assume something they don't believe for the same of argument, you'll get something like "But that would never happen!!" The downside is people often criticize INTPs as being too quiet, because they aren't privy to our 180 internal monologue.
Biggest downside IMHO is emotional unavailability/lack of understanding because emotions aren't logical and therefore we know they shouldn't dictate our actions. This drives women insane. But women are weak willed slaves to chemicals in their brains so who gives a shit, right?

Hm, not sure what you mean by internal monologue.
I am familiar with thoughts running faster than a conversation that is taking place and causing me to not listen. This is a very negative thing IMO that might only happen when I am not functioning well for some reason or other. For example, I might get stuck on a point of logic and then miss most of what people are talking about. Then eventually I say something on that minute point I was stuck on while really missing the main points, the social tones, opportunities for taking conversation in a different direction, etc. This is not a good thing.
But as far as the games of logic that you mention, like arguments and hypotheticals, yes I am great with those. But in a conversation it is not something that should make people think you are aloof, quiet, or not on point. In fact it is something that you should employ to show that you are competent and a good listener. Listening comes first by a long shot. Use thinking sparingly to come up with a few cogent responses to their main points (and ideally other concerns you can perceive/anticipate that they haven't even articulated yet). I wouldn't really characterize this as internal monologue. Just regular conversation but with good thinking ability. Internal monologue the way you describe it sounds more like something that is interfering with your ability to converse.

the responses to this poast make me realize that the internal monologue is very different among INTPs. obviously it's extremely personal but in general this is spot on.
are all INTPs chill though? i've tested as INTJ and my I/E metric slightly favors I. i don't think I'm all that different from other NTs.
can we all at least agree that "S" types are retarded sheep?

Pretty true with education. Although LSAT is still a big deal, LOLz. Also schools and teachers still vary pretty widely I think.
Not sure if this applies to the working world, but if so, there is nothing to be done about it other than adapt.
LOL, I'm pretty sure most INTPs weren't going to be a Newton or any kind of groundbreaking scientist anyway.
