Hi Staple!
I don't know enough confirmed ENTPs to pinpoint what I may not like about ENTPs as a whole. I can tell you what INFJs don't like in general.
-------
This is what the "The MBTI Likability Index" has to say about ENTPs:
ENTPs use their extroverted iNtuition to size up situations and are usually confident of their course of action. They are technically oriented and verbally skilled. They are one of the least conflict averse types.
ENTPs excel in organizations and as entrepreneurs. They are all about skills, expertise, and they have a very advanced ability to communicate. They lead with extroverted iNtuition, moving in what seems to be several different directions at the same time. They dazzle many while at the same time confuse many others who get mental whiplash watching the ENTP’s rapid changes in direction.
The ENTPs ability to communicate and solve issues is impressive. They can and do clash with most types who want to follow a steady course, as opposed to in-the-moment decisions and direction changes. Their confidence is admired and often justified, yet they clash when they come over as arrogant and all-knowing.
------
You use Ne, we use Ni. I've noticed some problems arise during discussions with people who use extroverted iNtuition because the way we arrive at decisions/opinions is cognitively different. As long as you are aware of that, there won't be a problem.
That's where the bulldozing comes in. I don't like getting into long-winded debates with Ne users because they're, "BlahblahblahblahblahBlahblahblahblahblahBlahblahblahblahblah," and I've already given my thoughts on the matter and need time and more supporting evidence to cultivate a response I believe in.
We prefer to be prepared and plan, but we also care about other's feelings, so we won't tell you if we're freaking out over an abrupt change of plans.
As an extrovert you're probably comfortable with impromptu social situations, but we need to "prepare".
INFJs are very sensitive to being disrespected - we don't like being treated like we are dumb, or told our emotions are ridiculous. We don't like public humiliation, or being spectacles. A lot of activities extroverts enjoy are torture to many INFJs, such as karaoke, or even just being loud and silly in public.
We can be as silly as we are serious, but we don't usually appreciate the spotlight.
We dislike arrogance, insincerity, and bullying.
It takes us time to open up and trust, and we're too complex for our own good. If you get past the introductory stage we will start acting silly and sharing thoughts, and even being somewhat spontaneous with you, but it takes a bit of time and we don't appreciate being pressured into it.
Something really funny about INFJs is that we are very dedicated to our interests, and we really, really like what we like. (And not copycats, or interests "somewhat similar" to what we like.) It doesn't irritate me when people don't "get it", but I hugely appreciate people who do get it, and those people are rare.
