My personality type, according to Jung’s and Myers’ theories of personality types, is extraverted, sensing, thinking, and perceiving (ESTP). People of this type tend to be unpredictable, casual, and energetic. As well as other people belonging to sensing and perceiving type, ESTPs receive profound pleasure from playing on their instincts, feelings, and impulses. ESTP people enjoy the activities which are associated with the challenge, great speed, adventure, power, and risk. If an ESTP’s impulses have to be hidden for a long time, such person will eventually start feeling “dead on the inside.” ESTPs always need to find exciting tasks and cope with them; they have to be in constant motion to stay happy about themselves.
ESTPs are fond of playing games. More than that: they are actually fond of winning. We love good and fun competition, and it gives us a thrill to always come first. The spirit of competitiveness is also revealed in other spheres such as school and work. ESTPs strive to do their best in their studies and job. Some of the most prosperous salespersons and other leaders are ESTPs. Because of a high competitive spirit in ESTP people, this type has often been characterized as detached. The feeling of detachment is an adverse side of being an ESTP.
People of ESTP type are noted for their vitality and inability to engage in a repeated activity for a long time. Thus, a learning environment incorporating a big amount of boring information will not encourage the ESTPs to study. They prefer practical approaches to theoretical ones.
When an ESTP faces a difficulty, he or she will not fall in despair. Instead, people of this personality type will analyze the situation and come up with a prompt way out. ESPTs are not planners: they’d rather brainstorm and improvise than waste time on organizing and arranging things.
ESTPs subconsciously search for some non-verbal, almost spiritual signals regarding what can make their victim nervous. As soon as they find this cue, the stick around and wait for the perfect opportunity to win over their rival. However, there is a good side to this strange love for competitiveness. ESTPs can easily admit their failure if their rival has won honorable and honestly. They are quite able to demonstrate admiration and respect towards those who can win in the game organized by an ESTP.
ESTPs hate to admit their flaws; they respect their own strength and love finding it in other people. People of this type admire being in the center of attention, showing off their courage and excellence.
