Our Kona is strictly an "office" cat. We have people constantly in and out (known people and strangers) throughout the week. This includes delivery people and clients. Kona considers himself the office manager and heads to the entry every time someone comes to the door, greeting them (*away* from the door, we are careful not to let him get in the habit of wanting to bolt outside) and checking them out. Frankly, I believe Kona thinks that's his job and, as others have said, Bengals are exceedingly routine-focused (at least ours is, more than any other cats we've had) so every visitor gets the full treatment.
When grandkidlets visit, he doesn't bolt, but he's also learned to keep his physical distance, if necessary, from a squealing toddler. Kona's mother and sibling (which are owned by a relative) display the same bold characteristics. BTW, Kona has never looked for a "comfy lap." I don't think it's in his nature.
Your Bengal mileage may vary, of course.
