ENTP at first sees ESTJ as larger than they are. Because ESTJ's sensing that arranges comfort was what they wanted. ESTJ receives ENTP's eye that sees possibilities pleasantly, while feeling that something is missing.
ESTJ and ENTP compatibility in brief (love, work, friendship)
ESTJ × ENTP is the Benefit (benefactor) relation, one of the sixteen. You hand it over without noticing.
LoveA protective feeling toward ESTJ sprouts in ENTP.WorkProfessional fields rarely overlap; constructive.Friends & conversationSubjective for ESTJ, truth for ENTP.
Written as ENTP × ESTJ it is the same pair. In 16Personalities terms, the Executive and the Debater.
ESTJ arranges bodily comfort lightly. ENTP receives it as something that supports their scattered daily life. ENTP admires ESTJ's behaviour, and ESTJ enjoys ENTP's ideas.
In terms of positions, the "sensing that arranges comfort" ESTJ produces lightly in the second is what ENTP waits for in the fifth. The fifth is a place where things enter like suggestion. In a form that can hardly be refused, ESTJ's words enter ENTP. Augustinavičiūtė called this "social request". For ENTP, society begins with ESTJ.
In the old description, this relation is more "humane and sensible" than supervision, and can become true friendship and a long marriage. Professional fields rarely overlap, leaving room for constructive development. Not well suited to business cooperation.
Ordinary care becomes society for the other.
Ideas are pleasant; ethics does not come
ENTP's ideas stimulate ESTJ's sixth. But the ethics of people ESTJ wants most is ENTP's weakest place. ESTJ cannot receive what they want from ENTP.
In reverse, it is thin. ENTP's first, "eye that sees possibilities", hits ESTJ's sixth, a place they produce with a little effort, and ESTJ finds it pleasant. But the "ethics of people" ESTJ wants most is ENTP's fourth, the weakest place. ESTJ cannot receive what they want most from ENTP. So ESTJ sees ENTP as "capable, but something is missing".
ESTJ sees ENTP as "clever, but cannot manage daily life" and teaches. ENTP ingratiates, and the concessions grow. If ESTJ learns to listen, it lasts.

ESTJ → ENTP

Fragile; you want to protect them.
What has been recorded
SCENE 01So as not to look submissive
The receiver restrains themselves so as not to look submissive, but the imbalance of power creates the impression of constantly yielding. The giver restrains the "excessive displays" like a father, the record says.
SCENE 02Pitiful, and capable
In the giver's eyes the receiver looks broad in view but scattered and confused, even "pitiful". Yet in their own field they show talent, and if they wish, can strike an effective counterblow at the giver's weak place: Slinko's observation.
SCENE 03Unable to refuse
The essence of the request is that it is presented in a form that enters the mind so deeply that the choice of refusing is almost impossible. Because it strikes directly from the giver's second position into the receiver's suggestive place: Augustinavičiūtė's description.

The two Model A's: what talks to what
ESTJ on the left, ENTP on the right. Each shows where the eight elements sit; lines connect the same element. Where each line starts and ends decides what happens in this relation.
Lines connect the same element in the other person's structure. 1–2 (strong) 3 (role) 4 (vulnerable) 5–6 (wanted) 7–8 (capable, indifferent)
1 → 8TeESTJ's 1 (leading) Te (extraverted logic) sits in ENTP's position 8 (demonstrative). ENTP can do what ESTJ is good at but does not value it. ESTJ feels slightly unappreciated.
2 → 5SiESTJ's 2 (creative) Si (introverted sensing) sits in ENTP's position 5 (suggestive). What ESTJ produces naturally is what ENTP has been waiting for. The most comfortable flow.
3 → 6FeESTJ's 3 (role) Fe (extraverted ethics) sits in ENTP's position 6 (mobilizing). ESTJ is weak here and ENTP wants it. A gap neither can fill.
4 → 7NiESTJ's 4 (vulnerable) Ni (introverted intuition) sits in ENTP's position 7 (ignoring). ENTP quietly covers ESTJ's weak point. For ENTP it is nothing.
5 → 4FiESTJ's 5 (suggestive) Fi (introverted ethics) sits in ENTP's position 4 (vulnerable). What ESTJ asks for is ENTP's weakest point. The more ESTJ asks, the smaller ENTP gets.

7 → 2TiESTJ's 7 (ignoring) Ti (introverted logic) sits in ENTP's position 2 (creative). ENTP's main field is one ESTJ does not care about. Little friction, little interest.
