ESTP (Practitioner Who Lives In The Present)

 ESTP (Practitioner Who Lives In The Present)

1. Summary

ESTPs are active, easy-going, naive and straightforward, enjoying the present rather than planning for the future. ESTP-type people are realistic, open-minded, and tolerant. ESTPs like to act rather than talk. When problems arise, they are happy to deal with them. They are excellent problem solvers.

Some books call them entrepreneurs, entrepreneurs, initiators, etc., which means that ESTPs like to communicate with many people, work is full of adventure and fun (even exciting), seize opportunities at any time, and prefer to self-organize, Instead of being arranged by others, it is a practitioner who lives in the moment and arranges his own destiny.

2. Analysis 

ESTPs make up about 5%-6% of the population.

ESTPs like to pay attention to people, things, and everything that is happening on the outside (E). They prefer to perceive the world around them in a first-hand, down-to-earth way (S), and use this as a basis for making logical decisions without personal likes and dislikes (T). These characteristics constitute an impromptu, flexible, and constantly responsive lifestyle (P). The combination of "extroversion" and " seeking truth from facts" makes ESTPs tend to like being there, clinging to what's in front of them, because only "now" is the only thing that is reliable and can be trusted.

In terms of learning preferences, ESTP type students generally prefer hands-on (chemistry) or practical subjects (such as English), mathematics (algebra) is also good, and generally there are no subjects that are too prominent or lame, if any, That is when ESTPs feel they are useless or impractical.

ESTPs are one of the most charismatic and judicious of the 16 types. Most ESTPs have a very attractive appearance (especially their eyes), they are very good at talking, and their greatest strength lies in their power to make things happen. Ignore any immediate or future difficulties, but do everything possible ( and in many cases even unscrupulous) to complete the current task in the way that is most beneficial to you. They have the strongest adaptability and sharpest speculative vision, and their sensitivity and persistence in current interests make them the type who will never suffer "immediate losses". Their excellent eloquence keeps their words so beautiful and seemingly perfect and impeccable. Although sometimes the words seem superficial, illogical, and full of suspicions of deceit and deceit, no one can deny that what they said at that time did the best for them, and many times what they said was very far from the truth. It's far away, but it's what everyone present likes to hear, and even those who can see into it have to admit that they're comfortable listening, and the ability to exaggerate -- people talk to people, ghosts talk to ghosts -- ESTPs are social geniuses from the very beginning. They are very easy to gain the trust and even love of strangers, and they are very comfortable in most business environments. Therefore, it is conceivable that most ESTPs have a natural super sales ability. In the process of contacting people, they will quickly understand how to make the other party accept themselves and what the other party wants to hear. They try to use various ways to influence the other party's psychology and behaviour. Move in the direction you want, and eventually make a deal (business). This can be said to be a quite extraordinary ability in the process of enterprise development, especially in the initial stage, which is why many books refer to them as promoters or entrepreneurs. 

ESTPs are often seen as being ungrateful, reluctant, liars, and extremely philandering. This is because ESTPs are accustomed to asking for things. When they ask for you, they dare to say almost anything. However, if people ask ESTPs to fulfill their original promises, they often find that they will fail. .

But to be clear, personality has nothing to do with character. It is better to say that ESTP likes the new and hates the old. If a person's pursuit of new stimuli is strong enough, then a natural consequence is that he will pay less attention to the old stuff, which is not the ESTP's intention. Therefore, although ESTPs are the type with many bad reviews, they are actually the simplest, direct, sincere, and even pure type. They do lie a lot, however the meaning of their lies is different from that of other types such as INTJs, they rarely consider the impact of a lie on the distant future, they lie simply because doing so is beneficial to their current self, Because they attach too much importance to the situation and experience in front of them, the price of "living in the moment" is "being trapped in the moment", which is particularly evident in ESTPs. Not only that, ESTPs, like most SPs, never hide their selfishness, speculation, and dislike of the old, in other words, you may think they are a bit "bad", but they are so simple, so pure, so "no shrewd", So much so that the actual damage done by their " badness" is extremely limited - as long as you fully understand their character.

3. Traits and characteristics

The first contribution ESTPs make to their work is their appreciation and commitment to the present moment. The most important thing we learned from ESTP is that " now is the only moment you can grasp". Guilt about what happened in the past or fear of what has not happened in the future is futile, because ESTP believes that guilt about the past or worrying about the future will only affect the efficiency of the present, people should not be troubled by those unseen goals of the meta, but should Focus on moving forward now. If you are not satisfied with the present, you should try to change it immediately.

Like other thinking types, ESTPs clearly distinguish between family and work, personal and public. If an ESTP woman accepts these divisions, she can remain feminine without compromising her work contribution. But she still needs to work hard to convince people that work ability and feminine tenderness can coexist. Of course the ESTP Women's Friends are confident in their own nature from the start to truly convince others.

ESTP men fare better. Because they are restless, enjoy the present, and have a lively lifestyle that is incompatible with a work environment that emphasizes order, follow-through, and clear deadlines, although ESTP men are slightly more receptive, they still feel Pressured by differences in organizational climate and style, this pressure may trigger ESTPs' contempt and resistance to authority.

The ESTP's work style can be said to be a hodgepodge of styles, much depending on the work he is doing. If they give the right motivation and deadline, they will dive in and make the work productive and dynamic. Once the pace slows down, they relax and start hanging out and looking for people to chat with. ESTPs are less bound by procedures and schedules. The ESTP around you may suddenly start a debate, or burst into passion to lead his team and the organization through a new quest. But in fact, despite their innate leadership charisma, one would be better off not expecting ESTPs to guide the way, as they would rather be fully committed to the role of team members than to stand up and be leaders. Role.

ESTP is a piercing guru. Don't try to impress them with flashy rhetoric, not only will they see through it at a glance, but your personal credibility will be greatly reduced with him. ESTPs like to "do" -- even if it's playing a less-than-perfect solution. The heartbeat of the feeling type (S) is "doing is stronger than speaking". Instead of arguing about a problem, get hands-on. And the perceptive (P) let them know that if things don't go well, they can adjust their direction in the middle and ignore those rules and regulations. Once it's done, those gossiping people and the rules that get in the way are all meaningless, so let them go! Tomorrow is always a new day for ESTP! Today's past is past tense, and it is irrelevant. ESTP's "doesn't matter" attitude, whether as a leader or an employee, is likely to be criticized.

4. Preferred career fields
