ESTP
Basic Habits of Mind
Extraverted Sensing is the dominant mental process. ESTPs are in a state of relentless awareness of the environment and people. As a result of this awareness, they tend to quickly respond and to move at a fast pace. Aided by Introverted Thinking, they are busy constructing logical paths to follow.
Introverted Feeling and Introverted Intuiting also help ESTPs. Introverted Feeling promotes a sense of purpose and direction, again as applied to practical ends. Introverted Intuiting plays out as moving forward with confidence.
This combination sometimes is misunderstood as impatient, opportunistic, and self-centered. ESTPs can be seen as trying to win at others’ expense.
Typical Communication Patterns
· ESTPs are energetic, fast-paced communicators who enjoy whatever they are doing at the moment.
· They are good-natured and realistic in their interactions.
· Often good at easing tensions due to their sense of humor, ESTPs are also very critical and analytical when exploring situations.
