Myers-Briggs Characteristics

According to Myers-Briggs, ESTPs are hands-on learners who live in the moment, seeking the best in life, wanting to share it with their friends. The ESTP is open to situations, able to improvise to bring about desired results. They are active people who want to solve their problems rather than simply discuss them.


Keirsey Characteristics

According to Keirsey, ESTPs, or "Promoter Artisans", are the most adept among the types at manipulating other people. The ESTP knows everyone who matters and everything there is to do. They like to indulge themselves in the finer things in life and to bring other people with them. Their goal in life is to sell themselves and their ideas to others. Dramatic and debonair, they are gifted at earning others' confidence.


Socionics Characteristics

According to the Socionics type profile, ESTPs, or "Conquerors", are adaptable risk-takers able to keep their eyes on long-term goals. ESTPs have strong wills and level heads and are good at rallying and organizing others to meet their needs. However, while gifted at identifying the traits that make others useful to them, they often underestimate others' true strengths, particularly in contrast to their own. ESTPs may step on others without remorse.

MBTI cognitive functions

The attributes of each personality form a hierarchy. This represents the person's "default" pattern of behavior in their day to day life. The Dominant is the personality type's preferred role, the task they feel most comfortable with. The auxiliary function is the role they feel the next most comfortable with. It serves to support and expand on the dominant function. One of these first two will always be an information gathering function (sensing or intuition) and the other will be a decision making function(thinking or feeling) in some order. The tertiary function is less developed than the Dominant and Auxiliary functions, but develops as the person matures and provides roundness of ability. The inferior function is the personality types Achille's heel. This is the function they are least comfortable with. Like the tertiary function, this function strengthens with maturity.[1]

  • Dominant Extroverted Sensing
  • Auxiliary Introverted Thinking
  • Tertiary Extroverted Feeling
  • inferior Introverted iNtuition[1]
