ESTPs have an Extraverted, Sensing, Thinking, and Perceptive personality. ESTPs are governed by the need for social interaction, feelings and emotions, logical processes and reasoning, along with a need for freedom. Theory and abstracts don’t keep ESTP’s interested for long. People with the ESTP personality type leap before they look, fixing their mistakes as they go, rather than sitting idle or preparing contingency plans.

An ESTP’s spontaneous approach to life makes school, certain work environments, and other highly organized situations challenging for them. This is not because they are unintelligent or not cut out for work and education, but because they are opposed to highly structured and regulated environments.
