ENTP Master Contrarian

Instead of nodding along, you come back with "but what about this?"

The person who flips a conversation with "But what if we tried this?" is often this type. You enjoy raising the opposite view on purpose to make an idea sturdier. The moment of dreaming up a new plan tends to be the most exciting part for you.
