ESTP Introduction

People with the ESTP MBTI personality type are recognized for their bright, active, and adventurous behavior. ESTPs are high-energy thrill seekers who thrive on putting out actual or metaphorical fires. Although they appear to be very social, they are rarely sensitive; the ESTP prefers fast-paced and humorous situations to emotional or serious ones.

I. What Does ESTP Stand For?

ESTP stands for Extraversion, Sensing, Thinking, and Perception and is one of 16 personality types studied from the MBTI test (Myers-Briggs Type Indicator). The MBTI personality assessment developed by Isabel Briggs Myers, Katharine Cook Briggs, and David Keirsey from the work of psychiatrist Carl G. Jung, the types of psychology based on theories of cognitive functions. Keirsey named ESTP The Doer/ The Entrepreneur because their goal is to convey their self-worth and ideas to others. ESTP is one of the 4 personality types of The Artisan. 

II. Personality Traits of The ESTP Group

ESTPs are positive people, who tend to practice to solve problems rather than just discuss them. 

People with ESTP personality types are very collective, spontaneous, and frank. Sometimes, they are viewed as rude or reckless, but ESTPs really love to act and always jump right into the heart of the problem.

They are also artistic in promoting and influencing others to act together. Be specific in words and realistic in actions, they always bring a plentiful energy source to the collective. ESTPs prefer to focus on tangible results rather than thinking about long-term goals. 

ESTPs tend to view laws, rules, and obligations as recommendations or guidelines rather than rigid principles. If ESTPs believe that something has to be done and the main reason is accurate and ethical, they will go ahead and do it, regardless of what laws or social rules warn. This does not mean that

ESTPs are offenders - they often have a clear understanding of what is good and what is evil.  

ESTPs do not like theory and abstract thinking, they often have difficulty in school, especially in later years. People with this kind of personality view theoretical discussions as boring and meaningless. 

ESTPs do not like theoretical debates or thinking about the future – they only care about the present moment and focus all their efforts on things they like rather than thinking about what is possible.

ESTPs rarely make detailed action plans, instead, they often get down to business right away. If necessary, they are not afraid to start over and correct their mistakes.

ESTPs love to watch movies and pursue their interests and other material pleasures. However, people with this type of personality should know that their passions are conducted in many different ways, including quite a few nasty or unhealthy tricks – such as gambling. 

ESTPs are also energetic so they become uninterested in tedious situations or with learning too much theoretical information. They are people who are ready to get to work right away and are willing to take risks to get things done. When faced with problems, people with this personality type quickly look at the facts and come up with an immediate solution. They tend to improvise rather than spend a lot of time planning.

Because they usually focus on the present, ESTPs are pragmatic. They are interested in the sights, sounds, and experiences that are going on all around them and they don't have time for daydreaming. They want to feel, hear and see anything that excites them. When learning about something new, it is not enough to just read a book or listen to a lecture, they want to experience it for themselves.

III. The Cognitive Functions of The ESTP Group

Dominant: Extraverted Sensing

Like other extrovert groups, ESTPs receive energy from social participation and tend to seek stimulation through the senses. They are realists and are concerned with immediate and tangible senses and experiences – more than anyone else, they want to genuinely and vividly experience what caught their attention. Due to their high energy sources, ESTPs can find academic and theoretical environments tedious. They are also willing to take the risk of getting things done and looking for new activities or doing something useful.

Auxiliary: Introverted Thinking

ESTPs focus inward when making judgments about the outside world and processing information in a rational manner, which is something others may not immediately notice. The function's sense of internal control gives ESTPs a great deal of self-discipline, independent work skills, the ability to observe things that others might miss and a logical and realistic approach to their goal.

Tertiary: Extraverted Feeling

This function is focused on creating social harmony and relationships, so ESTPs love to be the center of attention and are good at establishing friendly relationships with others. They have a great need for social participation even though expressing feelings is a challenge for them. They are sometimes uncomfortable sharing their opinions and judgments with others, instead, they focus more on pleasing others, finding humane solutions, and maintaining harmony – this can sometimes cause them to ignore their own needs.

Inferior: Introverted Intuition

This aspect of personality focuses on examining information for patterns and developing a sense of intuition about situations. It allows ESTPs to hypothesize about impending data and develop a sense of the future. They can look for connections that will help them understand what to expect next. However, since this is the personality's most inferior function, their instinctive response may be inaccurate in many situations.

IV. ESTP Values and Motivations

1. ESTP values

ESTPs tend to prefer personal values, opinions, and principles more than what others or society thinks.

ESTPs value practical teaching or approaches. They always find obstacles in schools or highly organized environments, not because they are not smart but because they always feel as if they are held back in their personal growth.

ESTPs favor rules and laws. Each ESTP has his/ her own rules of ethics and standards, and for them, it will be easier to implement these rules and produce more optimal results than spontaneity.

2. ESTP Motivations

ESTPs' energy and passion are virtually unlimited when it comes to areas they consider to be practical and interesting. They can be very inspiring and persuasive – this makes them excellent at positions such as sales reps, consultants, and entrepreneurs. 

ESTPs are energetic when interacting with people and good at observing people's needs. They are adept at communicating and persuading others to fulfill work requirements, which can be said that they are masters of negotiation to achieve their goals in the most effective way.

ESTPs are often motivated by thinking and by providing immediate and direct feedback. They are agile and adaptive people who have the opportunity to show off their talents using their agility and confidence.

ESTPs tend to be independent to explore the world around them at leisure. They feel excited when they can discover something new. Freedom of exposure to their environment when they want is the opportunity that ESTPs tend to seek often.

ESTPs are full of energy when taking the spotlight. When they can entertain or attract attention from those around them, ESTPs often feel as valuable and comfortable as being at home.

V. Strengths and Weaknesses of ESTPs

1.  ESTP Strengths

They are capable of untying problems for others to accompany them, and at the same time, bringing good things to life. That is why ESTPs are also called Promoters.

People with this type of personality also have an innate ability to recognize other people's thoughts and motivations, ESTPs can easily detect minor changes in someone's facial expressions, clothing, or behavior, while other types of personalities don't have this mysterious ability.

ESTPs have a deep appreciation and vision. With the advantage of extrovert tendency, they are always looking for new experiences and ideas, so they are quite suitable for businesses. They are also very bold and practical. This combination of features helps them see problems and come up with solutions that others don't realize. Realistic vision is often the foundation of ESTP's business dynamics, and it often helps them become extremely successful in their careers as an entrepreneur.

ESTPs are natural leaders who are often very skilled at sharing their visions with others. Although they are not good at expressing their emotions, they are still a type that integrates with direct and blunt communication styles. This can cause problems in relationships, but in business, it can inspire employees to motivate and lead them on the job.

2. ESTP Weaknesses

ESTPs tend to inadvertently hurt others – they are very frank and based on facts and Thinking (T) rather than Feeling (F), so their words can easily hurt people with more sensitive personalities.

ESTPs prefer face-to-face contact, whether it's facing or solving problems, without often letting emotions interfere. That is why people often judge them as realistic and insensitive. Because ESTPs are so frank, they can fall into awkward emotional situations. They also have difficulty acknowledging and expressing their feelings.

ESTPs have their own set of standards and a way of working to keep themselves excited. As a result, they have their own "speed" and will be annoyed by those who have slower paces. Having to do something at a slower pace or waiting for someone can be challenging with ESTPs.

ESTPs are not well-organized. They are frank in approaching problems or opportunities, which causes them to ignore social norms and expectations in doing so.

Because of the aforementioned impatience, ESTPs can fall into unpredictable risks on their own. With a personality that fights boredom, they may make their situation worse.

During the development of personality at an early age, ESTP children may have a tendency to overuse their Extraverted Sensing function without balance and support of the remaining three cognitive functions. This can lead to them indulging in pleasant feelings or continuing to search for new emotions without thinking of the lasting consequences. They may also think that they are somehow immune to danger and act too quickly in situations where it should be very cautious. Another problem ESTP children may face is the expression of stubbornness or arrogance amid discussions or arguing. They tend to see discussion and analysis as a game to win and therefore can sometimes offend and hurt other people's feelings. Over time, these trends tend to decrease as they grow and mature as the cognitive functions of their personality are further developed in a directed way.

VI. Personal Relationships of ESTPs

1. Romantic relationship

ESTPs live in the present and enjoy the fun happening right now rather than planning long-term commitments in romantic relationships. But their enthusiasm and unpredictability make them interesting partners in dating. ESTPs love unique concepts and occasional philosophical discussions – but they rather be topics that can be discovered through action, not just idle talk.

Regarding their sex life, physical enjoyment and new ideas are welcome and the strong awareness of ESTP individuals helps them to fine-tune the needs of their partners. However, tension can arise if they separate their physical actions from the emotional connections that their partners of many other personality types seek in intimacy.

Moving the relationship into deeper and more meaningful stages can be a challenge for ESTPs. They are always looking for excitement due to their trait of easily getting bored, sometimes performing risky behavior if they fall into a deadlock, which can easily destroy relationships if their partner doesn't keep up or do not match them in terms of this characteristic. Reason and self-control make it easier for them to step out of a relationship.

However, ESTPs partners are adaptable and inquisitive, which certainly helps keep the passionate flame of the relationship. Maintaining healthy relationships is the last chance for them to show their talent in acknowledging any changes in their partner's moods and behaviors, and using their problem-solving abilities to please their needs. ESTPs can also reinforce more forgettable traits, like emotional sensitivity and long-term planning skills.

2. Friendship

ESTPs are even-tempered and tolerant of their friends with whom they never get bored. Their imagination and spontaneity are envious – ESTPs can always come up with exciting ideas to explore and find interesting things to do. They live completely in the present, rarely look back on the past, or care about the future, and this is one of the reasons why they are so attractive and admired by many.

ESTPs seem to get along with people and make new friends wherever they go. They are honest, straightforward, and do not worry about how others feel about them – and this helps them attract friends who share the same viewpoint of life. Besides, they like to enjoy reality and physical activity, so they often have lots of opportunities to create new friendships in an environment they are comfortable with. Friends who are intellectual and philosophical are those ESTPs seek for contributing and learning debates.

ESTPs are also more likely to engage in risky behaviors and can encourage their friends to get involved. People with this personality type look for excitement more than anything – this means they will be more willing to explore new things, but such a trait has drawbacks.

In short, ESTPs are people who love communicating, being easy-going, and are excited to enjoy every wonderful moment of life. ESTPs like action and are always eager to work. This inspiration spreads to their relationships, and they aspire to utilize and develop relationships daily. They get bored quickly and feel sad about having to change unless they find the right person. ESTPs live in the present, so long-term commitments are often not right for them. They are extremely committed, and they want to live up to their commitments daily.

3. Parenthood

In many ways, ESTP parents are perfect for kids. They enjoy spending time with their children and infusing them with their happy energy, understanding, and flexibility. Their natural curiosity and spontaneity are completely consistent with the charm and insatiable desire to learn that young children have.

ESTP parents love hands-on activities and encourage their children to freely participate in sports or developmental physical activities in a voluntary spirit. They also want their children to use their judgments for even the most personal things and follow their hearts. ESTP parents are always monitoring their children's moods and habits so they can provide additional guidance when things start to go wrong.

However, bonding with affection and intimacy can be challenging for them. If their children become more sensitive, this can be a source of stress between ESTPs and their children. At this time, softness and flexibility should be applied instead of frankness and reason. ESTPs' partners can also help with this if they are delicate and sensitive enough to create sharing and connecting activities. ESTPs parents will benefit from direct and understanding relationships – their children won't feel like they have to hide their mistakes and concerns.

4. Relationship with other personality groups

For ISTP, ESTJ, ENTJ groups: they have similar characteristics and many things in common so it is easy for ESTPs to share values, interests, and approaches with these groups

For ISTJ, ENFP, ENTJ, ESFP groups: they have some differences but these differences are attractive to ESTPs. They still have something in common to create a balance in their relationship with each other

For INTJ, ISFP, ESFJ, ENFJ groups: at first, ESTPs may have some difficulty accessing and connecting with these personality groups. However, after interacting for a while, they will discover commonalities as well as other points of view that can complement each other

For INTP, INFJ, ISFJ, INFP groups:  these personality groups are opposite and conflicting with ESTPs, but if it is possible to develop a relationship, this is an opportunity for ESTPs to learn and grow themselves, the challenges always come along with a great opportunity

VII. ESTP Career Paths and Development Areas

When it comes to careers, ESTPs have a long and varied career list to choose from. People with this type of personality are quick to make decisions, thus making them excellent candidates for roles that require on-the-spot thinking. This is further reinforced by the fact that ESTPs live in the present and want to see the results of their actions immediately instead of thinking about the future. They also tend to be very charming and are excellent individuals in connecting people – such a trait can give them a great advantage.

In social situations, people with this personality type are said to be playful, friendly, and charismatic. According to David Keirsey, the ESTP group often has a significant influence on those around them. They are not only good at communicating and interacting with people, but also possess the ability to perceive and interpret sign language. It is through these capabilities that ESTPs do very well in professions related to sales and marketing.

However, they also tend to be very impatient, which means that a career or role that involves meticulous research or repetitive tasks is not right for them. Their observance can be very helpful in certain areas, but their curious and energetic nature will push them toward action-oriented rather than analytical. ESTPs will choose a less stable but interesting career path, they like to take risks whether big or small and will often be winners.

They are motivated by logical issues, often choose careers related to mechanical skills, sports, diplomatic, and negotiating skills. They also want to be able to flexibly handle issues without having to follow an existing rule. ESTPs are suitable for the following careers fields:

• Science and Life (Agricultural and Forestry Technician, Environmental Biologist);
• Education (Vocational Teacher, Administrator);
• Business, sales, and finance (Financial Advisor, Human Resource Management, Business Management);
• Technical maintenance and repair (Automobile Mechanic, Refrigeration Staff, Electronic);
• Production and Construction (Carpenter, Baker, Quality Control Inspector);
• Architects and Technical Engineer;
• Police, Bodyguard, Firefighter, Military Officer, Pilot.

VIII. How ESTPs perform in the work and learning environment

ESTPs often have problems with learning, especially higher study programs that are heavily involved in the theory.  They are bored with subjects that are not realistic. Though they can be very smart, learning will be a challenge for them.

It is easy to recognize an ESTP in any work environment because of his/ her energetic and spontaneous nature. Even at work, ESTPs enjoy entertainment and can be a little harsh at times. People with the ESTP personality type like solving problems so they can recount their great solutions later. They can adapt quickly and figure out how to make any situation more interesting.

With their dynamic nature, ESTPs are easily suitable for many different jobs. They love to lead things at work, be able to control themselves with their principles, and plan out the details of the project even though they are not in charge. However, working in a controlled and regulated environment is challenging for them – ESTPs will face many obstacles as subordinates if they enjoy experimenting and tend to think quickly and work spontaneously.

As coworkers, ESTPs are willing to face difficulties and do their best in each task, as long as it can benefit everyone. Their special charisma makes it easy for them to get along with anyone. However, they will also frankly speak their mind if there is a disagreement about the issue of their colleagues' inability and inertia. With a strong personality, ESTPs know how to observe and fine-tune changes in their peers.

As managers, ESTPs feel most comfortable because their flexibility is maximized. They are given the freedom to come up with a range of ideas and small measurable goals that make things go smoothly and get done faster. ESTPs' liberal and somewhat rebellious personality may create a chaotic work environment, but they know how to transmit induction and handle work well, so they can easily manage the work environment in their way.

I. The ESTP at Work

1. Ideal ESTP career matches

ESTPs' work habits necessitate highly controlled workplaces and micromanagers, which cause them to drown in stress and frustration. They thrive in flexible work contexts that allow them to take ideas and run with them, such as startups and fieldwork. ESTPs are hardworking, fun-loving, and versatile individuals.

ESTPs are also extremely logical thinkers who make significant judgments based on evidence and patterns. They like learning, but prefer to do it on their own terms and on their own timetable. Working amid uncertainty and without a plan does not frighten ESTPs. Instead, they prefer to use their own logic to brainstorm and create their own laws.

2. Uncharacteristic ESTP career matches

ESTPs prefer to be on the go. They become bored and restless when they are forced to sit for extended periods of time. This might make it difficult for them to accomplish things since their drive will dwindle the longer they have to sit around doing the same thing.

Because their motivation comes from taking action and moving forward into new chances, ESTPs may find it difficult to consider things through before they execute them. 

As a result, they may find themselves rushing into something without considering the ramifications of their actions, which might lead to issues later on.

ESTPs don't like it when others get too near to them. They can be dismissive of emotions at times and hence may not flourish in more compassionate, people-focused positions. Nursing, education, and psychology are examples of such ESTP career matches that they should avoid..

II. 10 Best ESTP Career Matches

These vivacious individuals may be the most action-oriented personality type on the personality scale. They are prone to taking risks and may venture where other personality types might be afraid to go.

This feature is critical for anybody interested in becoming an entrepreneur and launching their own firm. Running a business may be successful, but it is also a very unpredictable career path with many hurdles along the road.

Furthermore, for outgoing ESTP personality types, developing relationships, identifying sources, and interviewing individuals for articles comes naturally.

ESTPs will gladly accept these tasks, and they have the capacity to think quickly and adapt like no other personality type. These positive characteristics have the potential to make them great and renowned athletes.

6. Paramedic

Paramedics have more thorough training and, as a result, more responsibility than EMTs.

For ESTPs, a job as a paramedic is suitable. ESTPs are not afraid to push themselves because of their competitive attitude, and their ability to think on their feet can save lives.

Paramedics are in charge of delivering medical assistance to those in distress. Their primary objective is to stabilize patients until they can be transported to hospitals. This work may appeal to ESTPs since it entails a sense of risk and the necessity to make quick judgments in order to save lives.

Aside from great communication abilities, paramedics must also be team players and work together with other first responders to complete the task. This high-stress job requires someone who can put their emotions aside and make reasonable judgments based on reasoning and in the best interests of the patients.

7. Police Officer

Being a police officer was among the most extremely hazardous ESTP career matches one can take, so it may be ideal for fearless ESTP types. ESTPs may fit in wonderfully with the police force since they are constantly on the go, seeking for some activity to be involved in. 

Furthermore, they must have highly developed interpersonal and communication skills in order to form trusting connections with their coworkers and the community.

Because they can detect minor changes in body language or facial expressions and read people's intentions or behaviors, ESTPs may be well suited for detective positions during investigations.

In this field of employment, open and direct communication is also a great advantage. Because ESTPs are notorious for not holding back their thoughts, they will fit in well with this work atmosphere.

9. Actor

Acting is an excellent career option for ESTPs who enjoy being the focus of attention. Acting job appeals to creative ESTPs since it allows them to try out different roles and interact with a wide collection of individuals. 

Being an actor necessitates energy and ambition, which coincides with the competitive mentality of ESTPs. The self-assurance, drive, and ambition required for success as an actor would also mesh well with an ESTP's competitive nature.

10. Sales Manager

ESTP personalities that are sociable and talkative may be an excellent fit for a sales manager role. This work necessitates a high amount of social connection with consumers, which extroverted ESTPs thrive at. 

Furthermore, they can readily "read" other people's behavior, making them convincing salesmen who understand what consumers require. Furthermore, this is a dynamic job that entails travel and meeting new people, which may satisfy an ESTP's desire for flexibility and activity.

III. Career matches for ESTP Types to Avoid

1. Accountant

An accountant must be able to work with numbers, budgeting, financial analysis, and thorough records of financial activities. This work may not appeal to action-oriented ESTP types who enjoy being on the move and dealing with unpleasant challenges.

The role's desk-bound routine and frequently lonely character would not suit ESTPs, who thrive in professions that provide social interaction, variation, and some degree of unpredictability.

As a result, individuals may find a profession as an accountant to be excessively constricting and monotonous. This means that an ESTP accountant may become easily frustrated by this "boring and average" career, quitting it to pursue the next great thing.

2. Academic

Sensitive ESTPs will avoid long talks centered on abstract concepts. This personality type has Introverted Intuition (Ni) as the fourth, inferior cognitive function, which keeps them from obsessing over future possibilities.

ESTPs are more focused on the current moment, which needs immediate action, despite the fact that they may utilize their intuition to think about the future.

They are likely to find an academic atmosphere excessively rigorous, and they may become tired of having to linger on abstract notions for extended periods of time.

3. Psychologist

For a variety of reasons, this very demanding, people-oriented occupation may not be the best fit for an action-oriented ESTP personality. For starters, psychologists are concerned with comprehending and interpreting people's emotions.

Because ESTPs have a Thinking preference rather than a Feeling preference, they struggle to understand the significance of feelings; instead, they prefer to adhere to ideas and facts. This personality feature also impacts their straightforward communication style, which causes them to look unpleasant and insensitive at times.

ESTP Compatibility & Relationship

ESTP Characters

This list of ESTP characters will do exactly that, looking at fictional characters who come under one of the most ambitious personality types of all: the ESTP.

I. The overview of ESTP  characters

Because of their daring identities and innate feeling of confidence, ESTPs are among the most captivating Myers Briggs personality types. These "entrepreneur" MBTI personality types are frequently portrayed in the media as exceptionally capable, confident, forceful, and action-oriented.

These are the world's entrepreneurs, persuaders, and doers. They have a lot of energy, are great socialites, and like improvising in any setting, relying on their own abilities to look at details and read the room to guide their judgments. 

There are many noteworthy ESTP characters who reflect this personality type, and we've highlighted a few of them here!

So, who do you suppose the ESTP characters are?

II. ESTP  Anime characters

1. Denji from Chainsaw Man

Denji is outspoken and straightforward. His character in Chainsaw Man is full of uninhibited comments and an undisciplined personality. He expresses himself completely, even if it isn't the kindest or best thinking to have at the time.

And, when it comes to doing his work, he doesn't consider much beyond completing the task at hand unless otherwise ordered. He blends in perfectly with the other ESTPs here.

2. Tsunade from Naruto

Tsunade has the ability to be both fierce and threatening. She is fast to respond to any circumstance she is confronted with, which often involves striking out in anger at others.

She is prone to take chances and has been a victim of a harmful gambling habit for some years. During this period, she drifts from place to place, accruing more debt and avoiding those she owes.

Tsunade, as one might assume, does not strictly follow regulations, preferring to bend them to her advantage. During her tenure as Hokage, even if some may perceive her decisions to be dangerous, she argues and implements her internal reasoning despite any objections.

As is customary with Ti users, she is frequently portrayed fighting with people under her rather than rejecting them outright. She is critical, cynical, self-conscious about her looks, and avoids displaying personal feelings in public.

3. Noi from Dorohedoro

Noi is an important character in Dorodedoro and one of the best ESTP characters in the anime world. When she enters the room, it's difficult to miss her because of her outgoing demeanor. She's gregarious and kind to everyone, yet she won't hesitate to murder if that's what her duty requires.

She doesn't pause in any aspect of her life and isn't scared to go right into the action. While she may not be the most attentive and may forget who she has previously met, she always treats everyone with kindness and a smile (again, even if she has to kill them).

4. Meliodas from Seven Deadly Sins

Many people label Meliodas as an EXTP, yet he really exhibits a lot of Ti. Meliodas, for example, typically makes tentative, non-committal answers and seldom uses concepts like right and bad unless defending someone else.

People seldom know what he's thinking, and he rarely shares his emotions with anyone, including those close to him. He's normally polite and sociable, but if he feels like it, he might abruptly descend into mischievous or harsh conduct.

While he has a long-term aim, he lives mostly in the now, not speculating about the future once he has decided on a course of action, which usually consists of just moving in a given direction.

Meliodas is very protective of people close to him, and he is prone to erupting into a frenzy when one of them is injured or threatened.

5.  Satori Tendou from Haikyuu!!

Tendou is a scary blocker who has earned the moniker "Guess Monster" from his teammates. Tendou is recognized in Haikyuu!! for his quick intuition as he watches players and their habits, making guess blocks based on that.
Tendou, an ESTP character, is known for her experimenting and improvisation at work, and she does exactly that with volleyball. Though his teammates and other players may perceive him as intimidating, he is an outgoing individual.

6. Master Roshi from Dragon Ball

Master Roshi is a martial arts coach whose training technique is highly practical, focused on helpful actions that assist out the neighboring area, such as milk delivery, farming, and building, which not only exhibits the sensor in him but also his Fe. 

His instruction is also extremely dangerous, to the point that he appears to be unconcerned for the lives of his trainees. He teaches that martial arts may help you live a more pleasant existence. 

He's definitely motivated by his own sensory instincts, which lead him into problems all the time. Roshi is jovial, at the back, and calm, pleased with having people around at his place all the time. 

His Ti manifests itself in the way he stresses learning things out for oneself over enforcing foundations, a known fighting style, or rigorous tactics.This is the characteristics of ESTP characters.

7. Yoruichi Shihōin from Bleach

Yoruichi is audacious and forward-thinking. While maturity has taught her to control her acts, she is nonetheless impulsive. Yoruichi prefers to deal with situations as they arise. 

She is unconcerned with the activities of others, and while being in a position of authority, she is not dominating. The over-studious temperament of one of her employees amuses her, although she does feel obligated to reprimand her for thinking too much at one point. 

Yoruichi is generally cool and collected. She despises standing on formality and is uninterested in formal titles, which is typical among Ti users. She emphasizes that competence is more important to her than politeness. 

Yoruichi teases, flirts, and likes making others laugh. She is, however, a team player who can be incredibly encouraging when she wants to be.

8. Yusuke Urameshi from Yu Yu Hakusho

Yusuke is a person who is outspoken, reactive, and analytical. In Yu Yu Hakusho, he has a risky lifestyle and prefers to jump before looking. When it comes to battles, he always looks for the toughest opponent to put himself against in order to test and improve his own strength.

Despite the fact that he rushes into battles, he takes the time to learn about his opponent. He recognizes that each fight is unique and may necessitate the use of different skill sets on his side. However, this does not prevent him from being the first to swing.

9. Mugen from Samurai Champloo

Mugen is unquestionably an ESTP, the great choice in the list of ESTP characters. He's volatile, impulsive, and nasty, and in many respects resembles an anti-hero. He adores fighting and is always beginning new ones. He's a fierce competitor who isn't afraid to accept any challenge that comes his way, as long as it benefits or entertains him.

Because of his background, he is fiercely anti-authority, which is not unusual among STPs. Due to an arrangement he grudgingly made, he spends the most of the series working alongside two others.

In fact, after all is said and done, he wishes to finish a battle to the death with one of them. However, as the program proceeds, he gradually learns a great respect for both of them, and by the conclusion, they all peacefully part ways.

10. Katsuki Bakugou My Hero Academia

Katsuki Bakugou, or the Baron of Explodo-Kills, is one of the most explosive and outgoing ESTP characters. Young Katsuki is an ambitious hero who isn't scared to speak his thoughts or fight on the front lines.

But don't think of him as a meathead going through the motions. Bakugou, like an ESTP, is always reading the movements at a breakneck velocity and using his knowledge and instincts in tandem to behave re-actively and spontaneously.

III. ESTP  Disney characters

1. Gaston from Beauty And The Beast

Gaston from Beauty and the Beast is by far the most popular and desired person in town. ESTP characters are natural leaders, and they are frequently the most well-known and respected members of their respective communities. Everyone adores Belle's suitor because of his confidence and dazzling good looks.

When it comes to this personality type, their adventurous characteristics naturally attract others in. If you identify with this MBTI®, you will most likely not stop until you have what you desire. 

This is why Gaston will not give up on Belle, and he enjoys the fact that she is a challenge. Nothing makes an ESTP happier than a good challenge.

2. Flynn Rider from Tangled

Flynn Rider is a complete ESTP characters. He oozes charisma, self-assurance, and physical activity. He comes off as haughty to Rapunzel at first, but as they get to know one other more, she realizes that he's much deeper than the version of himself that he loves to project to the rest of the world.

Flynn is a bit of a daredevil, and he occasionally appears to believe that the law doesn't apply to him. Rapunzel, as much as she tries to reject it, finds herself drawn to his aggressive, bad-boy character, which is typical of ESTP guys.

3. Merida from Brave

Another outstanding example of the ESTP characters is Merida from Brave. Despite her mother's aspirations for her daughter to be more ladylike and decent, Merida refuses to conform to conventional expectations.

ESTPs are naturally extremely energetic people who enjoy getting up and exploring their surroundings. This generates some conflict because Merida is expected to act like a Princess, yet this is not the ESTP's natural way of behaving. To be adequately aroused, they require activity, excitement, and adventure.

4. Tramp from Lady And The Tramp

The Tramp from Lady and the Tramp is the epitome of a Disney "entrepreneur." Unlike Lady, he declines to settle down as a pet, where he must be cooped up all day and obey his owners' commands. 

The Tramp craves freedom above all, which is something that most ESTPs aspire for.

He needs to be out in the open, discovering all of life's thrilling little tidbits. Sure, it makes things a little riskier, but this personality type would rather take their risks while living a little than play it safe. 

Tramp would rather live in a world without "leashes" and "fences." He'd rather go for a stroll on the wild side.

III. Other ESTP  fictional characters

1. Scarlett O’Hara from Gone with the Wind

Scarlett O'Hara is one of the epitome of an ESTP characters: strong-willed, flashy, and always looking for attention. Margaret Mitchell's immortal "Gone with the Wind" heroine is a rich heiress who knows what she wants and will go to any length to have it.

Scarlett loves being the center of attention, always flirting and participating in shallow relationships until she meets her match in Ret Butler. This signals the start of her internal battle between feelings and pride, which coincides with the Civil War, which would forever transform her life. 

Although she appears to be a spoilt affluent girl, the difficulties she experiences bring out the finest ESTP characteristics in her. Scarlett grows into a strong, sensible, and proactive woman, ready to confront any obstacle that life throws at her. Her determination to attain her objective and return home is inspiring.

2. Tom Sawyer from The Adventures of Tom Sawyer

This fascinating figure embodies all of the positive characteristics of ESTP characters. He is amusing, clever, charming, and convincing. Many lads desired to be like Tom at least once in their lives for these reasons. 

Tom is a genuine adventurer who does not shy away from perilous locations, people, or circumstances, which gets him in a lot of difficulty with his devoted aunt Pola. Tom has no issue expressing himself, and his harsh honesty may come across as thoughtless and disrespectful.

ESTP Introduction

ESTP Strengths & Weaknesses

ESTP Enneagram

ESTP Enneagram 7 is by far the most typical kind. The numbers 8 and 3 are the next most prevalent. Following that, an ESTP is likely to have Enneagram 6, which, as previously stated, is more closely associated with introversion than extraversion. What about other ESTP Enneagram?

I. The overview of ESTP Enneagram

We discussed the nine ESTP Enneagram personality types in this article. We discussed how the MBTI and Enneagram types interact to form the ESTP Enneagram personality.

Please keep in mind that the ESTP personality type is commonly associated with the enneagram categories listed below:

• ESTP Enneagram Type 7;

• ESTP Enneagram Type 8.

II. The ESTP Enneagram with 9 Types

1. ESTP Enneagram type 1

People with the ESTP Enneagram type 1 are detail-oriented, hard-working, and will not jump at chances that appear unethical and/or irresponsible.

They frequently battle to limit and regulate Se-dom cravings and may feel "sinful" for experiencing Se-based impulses and ideas. With no outlet for their rage, they may erupt in low Fe ways (through violence), which will cause them to feel guilty and seek external affirmation/reassurance.

2. ESTP Enneagram type 2

Individuals with the ESTP Enneagram type Two are giving and kind. The Two love people and want to be liked, and growing close to others is a motif in the Two's life.

This is why the ESTP Enneagram type 2 is sometimes referred to as the Helper type - since they consistently come to the rescue of others. Out of all the Enneagram types, Twos are the most inclined to assist someone who is feeling depressed or under assault.

When a Type Two is anxious, he or she may become violent, similar to an unhealthy Type Eight. When a Type Two is healthy, he or she develops emotional awareness similar to a healthy Type Four. You are a Type Two with a Three wing, which implies that your helping character mixes with your ambitious nature, resulting in an extremely motivated individual.

3. ESTP Enneagram type 3

The ESTP Enneagram type 3 is the perfect smooth-talking successful businessman type, as well as a natural charmer and performer, who employs tert-Fe to woo others but frequently does not know what is genuine (the persona) and what is not (his/her actual self).

Se-dom + 3 results in an intense attention to sensory impact, implying that this type is merciless about the physical looks of others and their own total sensory presentation These people are typically adept at detecting subtle cues in others and may break from existing hazy morals in order to 'accomplish' or 'get ahead.'

With low Ni, they may fail to evaluate the repercussions of being dishonest or lying to impress others.

4. ESTP Enneagram type 4

Enneagram type ESTP Four people are acutely emotionally aware and frequently escape to their rich inner world of notions and ideas.

They are the most creative type in the Enneagram, and they are compelled to develop their own, distinct personality. Type Fours place a great priority on authenticity and express themselves whenever possible. They are one of the most individualistic Enneagram types.

When Type Fours mature, they become principled like Type Ones. When pressured, Type Four people are acutely emotional and frequently escape to their rich inner world of concepts and ideas. They are the most creative type in the Enneagram, and they are compelled to develop their own, distinct personality.

Type Fours place a great priority on authenticity and express themselves whenever possible. They are one of the most individualistic Enneagram types. When Type Fours mature, they become principled like Type Ones.

When under stress, Type Fours might become clinging, similar to an unhealthy Type Two. You are an ESTP Enneagram type Four, which means that your individualist tendency mixes with the intellectual nature of an ESTP to create you one of the Enneagram's most creative types.

When it comes to being 'healthy,' many introverted people, like myself, believe that "getting out of my brain" is the best way to go, whether that means ceasing to be so compulsively contemplative or continually overanalyzing everything.

In any case, it is probably harmful to over identify as any label (including the intro/extrovert dichotomy) and just allow yourself to evolve as an individual, transcending whatever expectations that you or the world have set on you.

Enneagram type 4 ESTP appears to be a good fit for a Ti dom. They would try to hide their feelings because they were perplexed by their inability to manage their emotional outbursts and were afraid of offending others.

While 4s are feeling "undesirable due to being different/flawed," they are hopeful that someone would see through their joyful mask and accept the real them beneath. Instead of a rich inner fantasy world, there is rational nihilism, but with the underlying hope that the future will be better.

5. ESTP Enneagram type 5

People with the ESTP Enneagram type 5 have greater access to aux-Ti analytical talents, without the normal focus on 'living high and loose'; they are more introverted / quickly fatigued, and less likely to take leadership.

They may find themselves looping into Fe and unsure how to manage it, but they fail to completely contain their emotions and get irritated, as well as more scared of the 'possible' result of their actions (inferior Ni).

6. ESTP Enneagram type 6

People with the ESTP Enneagram type 6 are significantly more risk-averse and analytical than other ESTPs, and may mistype as an ISTP owing to reliance on Ti, with inferior Ni straining to predict future bad consequences. 

These folks are prone to a lot of pessimism about the future (and solitary conclusions about it), and they are less confident in their ability to wing things. They are also prone to low-level concern about tert-Fe (the desire to connect to others, but uncertainty and suspicion causing detachment issues).

7. ESTP Enneagram type 7

In the Enneagram system, a considerable proportion of ESTPs categorized as type 7s (Type 7 with a 6 wing: 0 percent ; Type 7 with an 8 wing: 100 percent ). Given that extroverted sensing is strongly associated with the 7 type, it stands to reason that many individuals of this Se-dominant type fall into the 7 category.

People with the ESTP Enneagram type 7 are frequently daring and adventurous adventurers. They are prone to be rule-breakers and risk-takers who are always looking for the next physical challenge.

Others may confuse type 7 ESTPs for ESFPs since their zeal for life is similar to that of a feeling type. This personality type may also misidentify as an ENTP, because their exuberant but analytical temperament may mirror extroverted intuition in many ways.

They will mistype as a Ne-dom owing to their dispersed thought process and continual onslaught of thoughts; they are more likely to ponder about the future.

Because of their dispersed thought process and frequent onslaught of thoughts, they will mistype as a Ne-dom; they are more likely to ponder about the future than other ESTPs (with great excitement and impatience).

Sometimes these individuals employ Se/Fe + 7 to be funny and entertain others, but they are disconnected from their own feelings; they may have a difficult time distinguishing brutal truth (what Se sees) from what 7 does not want to deal with, resulting in recurrent Ni-grips.

Individuals of Type Seven are vivacious, personable, and fun. They are full of life and can quickly transition from one thrilling topic to the next. The Type Seven mental process is a little disjointed, but that's because they are easily distracted by a variety of interests. This is why Type Seven of the Enneagram is known as The Enthusiast.

Type Sevens become concentrated like Type Fives while they are in a growth condition. When they are stressed, they transform into Type One. The ESTP Enneagram 7 is one of the most forceful types in the Enneagram due to the passionate character of the Type Seven and the combative tendency of the Type Eight.

8. ESTP Enneagram type 8

In the Enneagram system, the majority of ESTPs categorized as type 8s (Type 8 with a 7 wing: 72 percent ; Type 8 with a 9 wing: 28 percent ). 

Though the 8 type is most closely associated with the extroverted thinking function, the combination of extroverted sensing and introverted thinking produces a similarly bold and direct way of dealing with one's surroundings. As a result, it's not surprising that many ESTPs identify with the 8 type.

People with the ESTP Enneagram type 8 are likely to have a fairly even balance between their extroverted sensing and introverted thinking functions, which helps them to pursue their goals with confidence and clarity.

Extroverted feelings may be a blind spot for this type, since type 8s tend to look down on any display of weakness in others. Others may mistake type 8 ESTPs for ESTJs or ENTJs because their no-nonsense demeanor mirrors extroverted thinking.

When cognitive processes are not taken into account, the type 8 ESTP may misidentify as an ESTJ if they approach the MBTI in a dichotomous manner, since their plain attitude resembles a 'judger' feature.

A person of this kind is an aggressive, physically intimidating, confrontational, argumentative mixture who does not believe in backing down from a battle, literal or figurative, and whose lower Ni development aids him/her in identifying those who are weak or inept.

They are prone to speaking bluntly, criticizing authoritative people, and frequently taking on leadership roles to placate the general welfare of the public (tert-Fe, which may often make the ESTP-8 "charming" and counter the rough edge).

Eights are aggressive, dominating people who are naturally in charge of circumstances. Eights are aggressive in meeting their wants, and Type Eight is the Enneagram's most aggressive personality type.

When Eights mature, they become loving and protective of others, similar to Type Twos. When Type Eights are anxious, they retreat and become secretive, similar to Type Fives. For example, if you're an Eight with a Seven wing, the extroverted tendency of Type Seven mixes with the aggressive attitude of Type Eight to form one of the most active Enneagram types. Type 8w7s are a formidable opponent.

9. ESTP Enneagram type 9

These people are significantly less risk-averse, more prone to inertia, and more in touch with their tert-Fe (at least, in terms of understanding how to build and sustain superficial ties with others in order to avoid confrontation).

However, they are less in touch with their own feelings, less forthright, and more concerned with future consequences (low Ni wanting to "get it right" + 9's aversion to anything new that interrupts their peace of mind) than other ESTPs.

People with the ESTP Enneagram type 9 are welcoming, easygoing, and lovable. They have the best capacity to get along with people of any Enneagram type. As a result, they are frequently adept mediators, settling disagreements both inside and among themselves.

Nines place a strong emphasis on peace, particularly inner serenity. When Nines are in a development phase, they become as active and determined as Type Threes. When Nines are worried, they get nervous, similar to an unhealthy Type Six.

As an example, You are a Type Nine with a One wing, which implies that the Type Nine's harmonious features combine with the Type One's idealistic temperament. You have a romanticized perspective of the world, and your desire for peace is one method to realize that fantasy.

I. Politicians and Activists with ESTP

ESTPs are often dissatisfied with the structure and sluggish pace of politics, although some do climb to prominence. Because ESTP individuals are noted for their great leadership abilities, it is no surprise that ESTP famous people include presidents and important politicians.

This action-oriented personality will use their practical side to find the most effective answer for any given issue. Furthermore, their persuasiveness may readily persuade others to commit time and energy in reaching desired outcomes.

Furthermore, as Thinking personalities, ESTP leaders will base all judgments on logic, preferring to take immediate action rather than waste time debating esoteric topics. However, this does not imply that they would eschew intellectual disputes; on the contrary, just the opposite. Leaders of ESTPs will gladly engage in debate if they feel it will result in positive outcomes.

For all of these reasons, ESTP famous people who excel at leadership are seen as dependable and trustworthy, capable of overcoming adversity and guiding the country through tough times.

The following is a comparison of ESTP famous people as politicians who, although matching ESTP preferences, have dramatically different personalities.

1.  Theodore Roosevelt

Theodore Roosevelt, one of the most revered US presidents, is remembered for his life, enthusiasm, and daring. He will be remembered not just as a statesman, but also as an author, explorer, soldier, and reformer. He was a real man of action with many skills.

However, as a real Perceiving personality who values the freedom and flexibility to pursue several hobbies at the same time, Teddy, as he was affectionately known, frequently failed to follow through on his commitments.

His outgoing personality, on the other hand, made it easy for him to make friends everywhere he went. His candor and transparency inspired and pushed others to take action. Apart from courage, one of Rosevelt's most important values was freedom. He believed that facing life "with great and steadfast bravery" was vital. He also thought that it was preferable to "risk wearing out rather than rusting out."

2. Lyndon B. Johnson

Lyndon Baines Johnson, abbreviated LBJ, was an American politician who served as the 36th President of the United States from 1963 to 1969, having previously served as the 37th Vice President of the United States from 1961 to 1963.

He was a Democrat from Texas who also served as a US Representative and as the Majority Leader of the US Senate. Johnson is one of just four persons in history to have held all four federally elected offices.

3. George W. Bush

George Walker Bush is a politician and businessman from Texas who served as the 43rd President of the United States from 2001 to 2009. He previously served as the 46th governor of Texas, from 1995 to 2000, as a member of the Bush family and the Republican Party.

George is one of the ESTP famous people as a politician, which means he is lively, active, and daring. George is generally the life of the party and has a tendency to make snap judgments. George thrives in an unstructured setting and prefers intuition over rational reasoning.

4. Donald Trump

Trump is diametrically opposed to Roosevelt's renowned personality. Despite the fact that both are extroverted and action-oriented, as one of the ESTP famous people, Trump has exhibited classic ESTP characteristics in a negative way during his administration. 

Possessing unrivaled leadership and management abilities does not automatically qualify one as a great national leader. And this became clear throughout Trump's presidency. 

Donald Trump is a successful businessman who may have mistakenly believed that controlling a country was the same as operating one of his firms. 

As a result, his four-year term will be remembered as a tumultuous era replete with risky political judgments, firm rejections of competing ideas, and harsh and inaccurate tweets directed at his opponents. 

On the other hand, he has taken several important measures to help the American economy. As a result, Trump received a lot of support from the lower middle class.

So it's no wonder that he was able to energize his supporters with his'matter-of-fact' statements, and they were eager to follow in his footsteps. 

Regrettably, this led to an extraordinary increase in the Capitol building. Donald Trump will most likely be remembered for this shocking gesture he took during his final days as President.

II. Actors and Artists with ESTP

This demonstrates her immense capacity to face and conquer unpleasant problems, which only serve to make her stronger in the end, as is typical of an ESTP personality type. As a result, she may be one of the ESTP famous people who excels in this sector.

Madonna is ambitious to the point of aggression, but she does not feel the need to apologize for it. "I am tough, ambitious, and I know precisely what I want," she said, addressing the same proverb. Okay, if that makes me a b*tch." This describes an ESTP's primary personality features.

Unfortunately, she began misusing chemicals at a young age, seeking new sensations, and she walked a fine line before succumbing to addiction, which primarily influenced her life destiny.

She didn't shy away from risky acts as a Daredevil, and this typical ESTP attitude may have contributed to her untimely end.

Like Madonna, who believed she was a guy trapped in a woman's body. Amy frequently referred to herself as "more of a male than a girl." When it came to music, she was a strong-willed individual who insisted on doing things her way.

Even while she was conscious that not everyone could handle her blunt communication style, she continued to be brutally honest, especially when it came to her songs. "She is a frank young woman, and her communication method is combative," wrote Paul du Noyer, an English rock journalist. Or, as Amy put it, "they love me because I am a bigmouth."

Her confidence, talent, and leadership abilities, along with her honesty and candor, made her a famous musician and the voice of her time. Unfortunately, Amy's celebrity was short-lived since she lacked the fortitude to battle her problems.

3. Meryl Streep

Meryl is an ESTP, which means she is lively, active, and daring. Meryl is generally the life of the party and has a tendency to make snap judgments. Meryl's communication style is strong and straightforward, emphasizing the broad picture over specifics and quick action over contemplation.

Her quick wit, assertiveness, and direct communication style make this renowned actress an ideal ESTP.

Meryl Streep, who is ambitious and motivated, prefers action over study, does not shy away from taking risks in her work.

Giving up was never an option for this controversial fighter, no matter what challenges he faced.

Tyson's only way to stay on top is to manage his fury, which may frequently get the best of him. However, he may be irritable and unpleasant to others who are unable to follow his directions or are not on the same page as him.

They want to experience the world in as raw and real a way as possible; every encounter, no matter how hazardous or unusual, teaches them something and presents them with a new chance. And they aren't one to turn down fresh possibilities. When they travel, they leave their plans and possibilities open. After all, people can never completely plan the types of adventures they want to have.

ESTPs prefer to visit areas that most of the people I associate with are unaware of or do not consider visiting. It adds to the excitement of their trip stories when others are unable to empathize. By default, these locations appear more genuine and authentic.

ESTP-As excel at making rapid decisions and are willing to take chances on a regular basis. It can, however, be detrimental at times since ESTP-As are unlikely to examine the repercussions and measure risk.

They will receive items that they do not require or did not prepare for. This might place a strain on their financial situation. The good news is that ESTPs are excellent money managers. As a result, their financial judgments are seldom disastrous.

II. ESTP-A Characteristics

1. Confident

ESTP-A people are more self-assured, and it shows in how they accomplish things and how they view themselves. The ESTP-A, like other forceful types, is confident in their talents. They prefer to imagine themselves making few mistakes, and if they do make mistakes, these difficulties inspire them.

As a result, bold ESTPs are more inclined to move forward without hesitation. They may make some rash decisions as a result of this, but they are inspired by the challenge of these barriers.

Assertive ESTPs are self-assured in their talents and take on things with confidence. As a result, individuals frequently appear to do better overall. This has an impact on how people perceive themselves. They have a high sense of self-esteem. As a result, they are not frightened to make critical judgments.

This has both advantages and disadvantages. It's also a good thing to be confident. It also creates a favorable initial impression.

This self-assurance allows them to remain calm or recover and respond rapidly in the face of a stressful event. However, there is such a thing as overconfidence, and it may occasionally lead to rash and irresponsible judgments that aren't always beneficial. The idea here is to strike a balance.

2. Motivated

Assertive ESTPs are very motivated by a challenging challenge because they feel they can manage it. ESTPs are inherently driven. They are tenacious individuals that know how to work hard. It's considerably more noticeable among ESTP-A people.

When things go wrong or get more tough, assertive entrepreneurs are more inclined to perceive it as a challenge rather than a hindrance. Most people feel that overcoming a challenge enhances their motivation.

This, like the first point, has advantages and disadvantages. The advantage here is that ESTP-A persons can manage more problems without being weighed down.

The disadvantage is that being overly driven may make it difficult to read between the lines.

As a result of their increased drive, aggressive ESTPs may spend more time on an impossible assignment.

ESTP people are also highly aggressive individuals. Assertive ESTPs take it a step farther. They are more ferocious. This isn't just about physically.

They are determined to achieve their objectives and to overcome obstacles. It's in the atmosphere they exude. It might be daunting and frightening for some people.

Others may find it motivating. While assertive ESTPs play their cards correctly, they may be terrific team leaders, but their boldness can cause issues when working in a team. They have a tendency to dismiss the viewpoints of others, which produces discord in a team.

5. Dealing with Emotions

When it comes to dealing with emotions, it all comes down to "what feelings?" Negative emotions come easily to assertive ESTPs.

This might be due to their confidence in themselves and their talents. As a result, they are certain that these bad emotions will pass.

However, other emotions, such as envy or rage, are more difficult for them to regulate. As a result, when pushed or confronted, ESTP-A persons may lash out at others.

When this happens, interacting with them may be rather frightening.

Despite their ability to engage in social engagements, ESTPs may struggle to go beyond superficial small chat and connect with others on a deeper and more intimate level.

Assertive people are frequently on their own, to the point that the views of others are unimportant. Entrepreneurs' Extraversion, on the other hand, may dampen this independence in the goal of retaining social relationships.
In order to accomplish so, they may need to consider what others think. Nonetheless, Assertive Entrepreneurs are more socially comfortable than Turbulent Entrepreneurs since they rely less on the approval of others.

6. Independent

Finally, ESTP-As are self-sufficient individuals. They have specific aims and objectives that they wish to attain. They want to be able to make their own decisions and hold themselves accountable for them.

Their need for independence is also reflected in how they perceive advice or the views of others. These viewpoints have little sway on them when it comes to determining what to do with their life. While this gives them greater independence, it also means they lose out on critical insights that others might provide.

III. Career Choices

Assertive ESTPs have a natural ability to lead others. They are also extremely self-assured and are constantly ready to take action.
