I think I am an ESTP and I tend to be philosophical but in a very practical way, you can say a practical philosopher who ruminates on things about life so that I can live and enjoy this life in a much better way, Is that common for ESTPs?
What the hell? When you mentioned that ESTP’s are very likely to feel “in a box” or limited because of the MBTI test, I totally identified. At first I thought doing the test was something super cool, but then I felt it limited me in a way I did not like at all. Great analysis!
My favorite ESTP indeed likes to please people. He will disagree with you [pleasantly for the most part] but he will promise to do whatever you want him to. Aside from changing his opinions naturally. But he doesn't always get around to doing it. And yea, he loves to use his body, whether fighting or demolishing buildings or fixing computers or servicing robots. And he actually enjoys being scared.
I can't decide whether I'm an ISTP or ESTP, I'm really something I the middle. I like being alone but socialising doesn't drain me either, I'm just picky about people. When I'm having fun with some people I can hangout all night, otherwise I better spend time alone.
It could be a sign of extroversion if you say that socialising doesn't drain you, you don't have to be a loud person to be an extrovert, people confuse those loud ass people that doesn't know how to control themselfs when they are talking, extroversion can be more than being talkative and always being in a group you know, so you should reconsider ESTP, but thats up to you, you have been with yourself more than anyone :)
Thank you for the detailed video! I did the test a few times and always kept landing on ENTJ and ESTP, more or so ESTP. As soon as you mentioned, "we are sort of people pleasures and change depending on the room we're in" I resonated more with ESTP. Definitely more accurate representation myself.
Hey Alexis. ESTP here! You did an amazing job and even the smaller details and descriptions of weaknessaes/strenghts are spot on to the point where I thought: How did you know?! 😅 I will check out your channel to get a better understanding of the types that I lack knowledge of. Just wanted to thank for this great content!
what is crazy is I am an INFP who was in a relationships with probably an ESTP but did not know since he hated personality tests and refused to take them so I tried so much while we were dating to type him but I did not see him clearly enough. I can now. We definitely did not have a healthy relationship but I also saw a lot of healthy things also. So it is interesting to hear you talk about both. Very fascinating and providing so much clarity. Thank you.
My ex-wife is an INFP. I'm and ESTP and she and I were not compatible overall because idealism vs realism never ends in peace, but rather rubble. I've come to appreciate her type, but I understand that we are not compatible in romance. But socially, we're quite compatible.
At 50 and a very busy life (now stuck at home after surgery to the knee- an horror for me),I came to this video while searching: "trying to solve problems all the time" and "overthinking about concepts and situations"...like my brain never stops trying to figure out why we are living and how we can improve the world...but also making lists of my own concepts of life. My job was counsellor for people starting their own business, then I had my own business too. I tried at least 10 business ideas and got bored each time just after starting it. I always have problems because I tell people 'the truth", even in my job. Changing is what I want to do all the time. I like to be the center of attention but with age, it tends to be more in small groups or with clients. I like to finish sentences of people in my head in advance and I am always right. I also spend a lot of time looking at animals and trying to figure out what they are thinking (I am sure they are). When I was a child, I was so overthinking that I could even faint from it. I was playing piano pretty good and would take part in all scientific contests or theater plays. I guess I am not crazy, just an ESTP. Moins
Ok now it makes sense. I’m just a shy ESTP I thought I was an ISFP or ISTP but it turns out I don’t use Ti as a dominant function which led me to believe I was ISFP because I care about how others feel and put myself in their shoes sometimes. However I couldn’t relate more to the controversial opinions that I hold back on and leading everything with how I feel right now and showing that off to people around me. I’ve learned now thank you.
yeah i think i am in the same situation, i thought for a moment that i was an ISTP and didn't take ESTP as an option since a lot people call me quite, introvert... you know what i mean, but the thing is that i use Se as a dominant cognitive and didn't even notice. You don't have to be a loud ass to be an extrovert, people confuse extroversion with loudness but it doesn't really mean that.
When I was dealing with a lot of anxiety, I thought that I was an introvert But now that I’ve copped with my anxiety I can’t see myself as an introvert, but I’m not as extrovert as other people I’m still anxious and I feel like (when people describe mbti’s types that extroverted people can’t be anxious) so I feel you so much
If you can't say no, just don't say yes! If I am sure that saying no is the best answer, I have no problem saying it. When someone won't take no for an answer I question their idea of friendship.
I am an ESTP. I am kinda overweight. But I suffered many injuries recently that stopped me from going to the gym. But that's true, I always watch out for my weight.
my dad is a confirmed ESTP (he took the test) and this is SOOO accurate. my mom is an FJ (unsure which type) and its amusing to see how they're such polar opposites but complement each other very well. my mom takes care of his careless nature while he takes care of her internal conflicts. daily conversations are like "stop doing that!!" "i don't see anything wrong about it?" or "i'm in total disaster..." "dw girl you're good it will pass" LOL. anw i'm similar to my mom so i wish to find a TP partner someday!
I have problem between understanding if I'm Fe dom (Enfj) or Se dom (estp) because i was unhealthy, thought future is doomed, people are shit that should rather disappear and was annoyed by any sensory stimuli. Before that, my choices was controlled by my parents, my "choice" ended when parents decided that they didn't like what i was doing and who i was talking with. That ended up making me enneagram 8 that annoyed to be put in box where i have no control over anything. Have a very big problem with "putting myself in a box", it's like limitations to me. Every time i tried to type myself it was based on characters that i want to be because I don't understand myself. I still have trouble understanding myself but now, after becoming healthy I'm pretty sure that i use se fe ti ni. Ti dom and ni dom don't definy me at all, like i can use ni sometimes to make an argument but i definitely not Ni dom. Which leaves me to Fe dom and Se dom
The 3 ESTPs I've known have an immoral side in different ways. Manipulating people with money, playing victim or being a lover many times. For me they kind of have psychopath tendencies :(
I must be miscategorized.... I cry more than I should. Have zero issue speaking my mind with my spouse. Don't have the best relationships with people. I do get my feeling hurt and break down. Everything else is pretty on point.
Hey, glad yo have clicked on this video. I think you have the words explaining how estps grow. Its not everyday I hear someone think about the things I do. Hahah and so much fun with these conspiracy theories
As a ESTP with ADHD, with the bullying part, i dont think later oh i was a ass or something. I developed the i dont give a fuck mentallity. I did the personality test 3 times over the span of 9 months, as i doubted that i am it but i am ESTP.
Ya! I think excellence/precision are better words. When ESTPs develop their Ti well, they can get into technical interests. Like precise equipment for guitars, technical equipment and best software for computer, very high standards for themselves and their work. In my opinion most people are unhealthy (3rd function overused, 2nd function underused) so therefore most ESTPs won't use Ti that much, so most ESTPs won't get into that precision/accurate/technical side until much later. When unhealthy they can actually be quite sloppy, but I prefer to describe healthy types 😉
@@AlexisKingsley "In my opinion most people are unhealthy (3rd function overused, 2nd function underused)" . Here's hoping 100-200 years from now looping won't be as common as it is now.
@@derrickjayden9700 im thinking the same man idk i ESTPs are more of Doers then procrastinators and ENTPs are procrastinators but idk can ESTPs be procrastinators too thats whats confusing me couse it looks like i have Ti pretty high up but not too high and i can be in my head i dont have a problem with it but i sometimes do before i think wich would be more of Se dom type and i have no idea im confused a lot
then i heard ENTPs talk informative and ESTPs talk direct and i think im more informative and prone to procrastinating wich i heard no1 saying that estps procrastinate
@@derrickjayden9700 ENTP tends to be more abstract and more into gathering patterns or ideas. They can have trouble narrowing down things and tend to be more hesitant to coming to conclusions. ESTP tends to be more concrete and more focused on gathering real data that can be used for something in the physical world. They have easier to form conclusions. Se/Ni axis. Real life example is Jordan Peterson an ENTP. Very abstract ideas based person. Compare him to his daughter Mikhaila(ESTP). She is very concrete.
I'm a estp and you confused the hell out of me in the first 5 minutes. I work out all the time, even right now. My RU-vid channel is all controversial. I got so much of a rise out of my wife that she left me 😂 true though. Facts, I get mad, but not hurt. Then I'm ready to hit someone. I'm learning to say no now, or yes, and then I honestly forget. I told them I was busy. Yeah, I embarrass some people here and there. I repented. This woman knows me too much. It's a theory to you, but the conspiracy is real. You wait and see, but I don't believe in aliens, lady. They're just demons. I just started my career at 36. My 20s were all a party. I was such a dumbass.
So here's the thing. I know we shouldn't take the MBTI test thing and because I do agree that it is much better to study and learn about the cognitive functions and stuff but yeah. I still took the test tho and I wasn't even aware of it before. The 1st time I answered the test I got INFJ. Then as what was said in the test thing, I should be taking it at least after 6 months and I've been an ENTJ for 3 years in terms of what was written in the test results but I also hated the feeling of this invisible box that I AM A (insert type) and hell it is confusing. I took the test a year after and now I'm an ESTP-A with the same Enneagram type 8w7. I COMMEND YOU ALEXIS FOR SAYING THIS 0:38 but first, lemme watch this video first. In the end, we're still humans after all :)
I have a younger brother, he is an ESTP. We don't understand him but I'm really curious about him, I'm an INTP. I want to know how to help him, he is not doing well in his studies as he used to. I need to know how to motivate him or is there anything I can do?
Ok EVERYTHING is true for me except conspiracy theories. And because you said almost every estp have it now I wonder am I really one. Because was I NEVER like that, I hate it from the bottom of my heart when people even think about conspiracy theories 😂 I also hate paranoid people. What even if they say it's true, so what?!? Like dude, you live your life the same either way, so WHAT'S THE POINT of even spending one second on thinking about it???
