The sixteen types

ESTP

The Doer

You are in the present and react faster than most people. You learn by jumping in, and long meetings feel like a punishment.

Strengths

  • Quick reflexes in a real situation
  • Persuasive and magnetic
  • Takes calculated risk
  • Solves problems on the spot

Watch out for

  • Impatient with long plans
  • Impulsive, light on risk
  • Bored by repetition
  • Inattentive to other people's feelings

Work

Sales, business, sport, emergency services, events, broking, founding companies.

Relationships

You bring life to a relationship. What you have to learn is staying through the flat stretches.

Where to grow

Before a big decision, wait twenty-four hours. You rarely go wrong through lack of ability, usually through speed.

A note on trademarks and use: MBTI® is a registered trademark of The Myers & Briggs Foundation. The test here is not the official MBTI® instrument — it is built on the four dichotomies in Carl Jung's typology, with questions we wrote ourselves. Treat the result as a prompt for your own reflection rather than a diagnostic, and do not use it to select or screen anyone at work.
