The one who pushes through. Takes the field by will and force and secures it with the logic of order. What they want most: foresight. What they are worst at: the ethics of distance between people.
Types that fit ESTP, and types that need distance
ESTP (the 16Personalities Entrepreneur) with the other fifteen types and its own, sorted by kind of fit. The order is a rough guide to what tends to last, not a score. Each link opens the page for that pair.
Fits wellINFP (Duality), ENFJ (Activation), ISTJ (Mirror), INTP (Semi-duality)The four that fit naturally. When it starts to work differs.Stands closeESTP (Identity), ESFP (Kindred), ENTP (Business), ESTJ (Quasi-identity)The four that are alike or can move side by side.Needs distanceISFP (Illusionary), ENFP (Super-ego), ISTP (Extinguishment), INFJ (Conflict)The four whose closeness needs design. Decide the distance and they last.With a directionINTJ (Supervisor), ISFJ (Supervisee), ESFJ (Benefactor), ENTJ (Beneficiary)The four that one side feels strongly. Seen from ESTP's side.
How this type meets eleven situations. Not fortune-telling that comes true: how this type moves in each scene, written from the arrangement of its functions.
WishGranted, if you go and take it. But without reading ahead, trouble after taking.
The one you wait forWill come, if you move. Waiting does not suit you.
Lost thingsWill turn up. Do not search by force. Ask someone calm.
Setting outExcellent. Leave now. The way back: others.
TradeTrade that attacks: good. Long-term plans: others. Called irresponsible, stop.
StudyLearn as a contest and you grow. Sitting study does not last.
DisputeYou win. But you cannot read the other's feelings, and are paid back later.
LoveThe one who reads ahead for you is the real one. A contest of strength tires you.
ChildrenYou will be a parent who raises strong. Have your partner watch the delicate side.
IllnessDo not think you can push through. The type that notices after collapsing.
MarriageIt will come together, with someone who quietly reads ahead. With the same strength, two commanders in one house.
A gift that lands
Foresight. A surprise planned ahead, one thing that lasts. The future ESTP does not read alone.
What suits them
Part-time jobs, work, places to travel, clothes, music, anime, films, TV drama. From what the type is good at and what it wants.
Part-time jobRemovals, sports gym, sales Moving the body. Quick results.
WorkSales, founding, site supervision, sport, emergency Deciding in this instant.
TravelActivities, foreign markets Trips enjoyed with the body. Plans: others.
FashionStreet, sports Clothes to move in. Clothes that look strong.
MusicHip-hop, EDM, punk Momentum and beat.

Questions this type wants to answer, and what lands
QuestionWhat do you most want to win right now?
QuestionWhere next?
What lands"You're strong." "Quick to decide." Praise action. Keep it short.
If they were a country or a place
The temperament of the type, likened to land. One each: a country, a Japanese prefecture, a US state, a European country.
CountryAustralia Big. Moves with the body.
PrefectureHokkaido Big and straight.
US stateTexas Strong. Pushes through.
EuropeTurkey Strong push. Good at trade.
Values
Whether you can win. Taking what can be taken, commanding the field. Dislikes weakness and hesitation. Hard to see the subtleties of feeling; takes being called irresponsible most heavily of all.
Money
Goes for it big. Strong at earning, strong at spending. Weak foresight, so makes big purchases on momentum and regrets later. Steadier with long-term plans left to someone who reads ahead.
Parenting
A parent who raises strong. Lets the child try, protects, gets them back up after losing. Overlooks the child's delicate feelings and sometimes pushes too hard. Foresight and reading feelings: the other parent.
Work
Founding, sales, site command, sport, emergency. Deciding and moving in this instant. Fine clerical work and long-range plans are draining. As a boss, breaks through; as a subordinate, wants to take command.
Friends
Many comrades, strong bonds. Values those fought alongside. Cannot see subtleties of feeling, so hurts people without knowing. Saved most by the friend who reads ahead.
Hobbies
Martial arts, cars, hunting, climbing, contests. Hobbies of body and force. Quiet hobbies rarely last. Hobbies of reading ahead (go, strategy) go deep when entered as a contest.
ESTP's Model A
Where this type places the eight information elements. The top two are strengths, the next two weaknesses, the next two what it wants from others, the bottom two what it can do but does not care about. Compatibility is the overlay of two such arrangements.
1SeLeading: Se extraverted sensing — force, presence, taking the ground. Strongest and always on. The way this person sees the world.
2TiCreative: Ti introverted logic — structure, consistency, "does it add up". The tool that serves the leading function. Used flexibly, when needed.
3NeRole: Ne extraverted intuition — possibilities, ideas, "it could also be otherwise". Adequate but unconfident. Performed when required.
4FiVulnerable: Fi introverted ethics — personal bonds, likes and dislikes, distance. Weakest and most sensitive. Remarks here hurt.
5NiSuggestive: Ni introverted intuition — the flow of time, foresight, "this is where it goes". Cannot produce it; feels safe receiving it from others. The dual's leading function lands here.
6FeMobilizing: Fe extraverted ethics — the mood of the room, atmosphere, moving feelings. Gets moving when helped here. Grows with praise.
7SiIgnoring: Si introverted sensing — comfort, bodily sensation, pleasant and unpleasant. Capable but does not value it. Used silently when necessary.
8TeDemonstrative: Te extraverted logic — facts, efficiency, "how to make it work". Strong without noticing. Comes out unasked.
