Meet the ESTP

The highly external, strength-seeking, and resourceful ESTP makes up one of the more misunderstood of the concrete types. Typically socially gifted, the ESTP is very aware of the texture of people around them. They soak up so much from others and the environment that they need time to decompress. Drawn to strength and integrity, they are competent and helpful to others in a unique, highly practical way.

Understand the ESTP

Here we examine the basics of the ESTP type. Logical and concrete, they can also grow to be a formative presence in the lives of others. Needing freedom, but not always knowing what to do with it, the ESTP is caught between their high awareness of the present moment and a pull to explore their unknown future.
