ESTPs are thrill-seekers and are able to act effectively in extreme situations. They are dynamic, energetic, active, and enterprising, and like to solve problems. ESTPs are often called Entrepreneurs for their ability to find a way out of different circumstances and quickly make smart decisions. Entrepreneurs are constantly looking for adventures in which they can prove themselves.
ESTPs are great in emergency situations where they act as firefighters who put out fires, both real and metaphorical. They are focused on the result and on getting it immediately. They put all their efforts to enjoy the present moment, and do not think about what could have been. They do not like to talk about what will happen in the future, and they do not tolerate theoretical reflections and abstract concepts. Solving practical problems is the greatest strength of Entrepreneurs.
ESTPs interact well with others, as they are very sociable. The unstoppable energy and ingenuity of Entrepreneurs attract other people. They make jokes, talk to friends, get along with strangers, and maintain a large network of contacts. ESTPs have a great sense of humor and are often the center of attention. For all their ability to easily find a common language with anyone, ESTPs are not held in long-term relationships. They prefer to have a wide range of contacts but are less interested in building a close relationship with one person.
Entrepreneurs have an innate ability to capture other people's thoughts and motives. They are extremely sensitive and can easily detect the slightest changes in someone's facial expression, clothing, or behavior. They are usually a couple of steps ahead of the person they are communicating with, and use this ability to take everything they need from the situation.

- 6% of men

ESTPs know how to enjoy the moment and strive to take the maximum. Drama, passion, and physical pleasure are their constant companions in life. Some ESTP personality traits can cause unintentional pain to others. As they are very direct and make decisions based on facts and logic, rather than emotions, their words can easily hurt sensitive people. At the same time, Entrepreneurs are very caring parents and family members.

What will be useful for ESTP to learn:
Self-organization. ESTPs experience boredom from routine and monotony. When living by the rules, the lack of drive and change bores them. It is also difficult for them to act according to the plan, to fit into the deadlines, and to maintain the agreements.
Discipline. The lifestyle of Entrepreneurs can be perceived by others as chaotic and inconsistent. They easily switch from one direction to another when they lose interest in the first one.
Patience. Being focused on immediate effect and results, ESTPs experience a sense of resentment when someone thinks or works, by their standards, for a very long time. If the process in which they are involved turns out to be more complex and time-consuming, they also experience irritation.
Understanding emotions and feelings. Guided by logic and facts, ESTPs are unable to understand the feelings and needs of others. The emotional world of other people is a mystery for them.
Strategic thinking. The focus on staying in the here and now leads to ESTPs losing sight of the long-term prospects.
The ability to calculate the situation in advance. Entrepreneurs are willing to take on any risky business without fear of getting their hands dirty. They enjoy the rush of adrenaline and can even make it a goal if they are bored.
Stick to the plan. ESTPs are prone to improvisation. They can suddenly change the direction of their action if they think it would be better. However, when working in a team, it is important to stick to one direction or change it in a coordinated and smooth manner.
