2023-07-11 20:48:44 Psychological Notes | The Functions and Applications of MBTI 16 Personality Types - ESTP ESTP is regarded as one of the most suitable personality types for entrepreneurship. Due to their strong observation skills, acute sense of smell, and instinctive perception of the rhythm of social environment, they can quickly grasp the key points and make decisions. Therefore, they can always seize various business opportunities. They pay great attention to real-time benefits in doing things. The means of solving problems usually follow the principle of 'least effort'. In the MBTI image description, they are called 'entrepreneurs'. The talent of being adaptable is innate in ESTP. They can quickly understand what others want and know how to express themselves through interaction with others. Their on-the-spot reaction is very sensitive. Therefore, ESTP is not only common in the business field but also in politics, talk shows, performance stages and other fields. Politicians such as Churchill and Trump, and entertainment stars such as Madonna and Taylor Swift are regarded as representative figures. The meaning of ESTP letters In MBTI, the first letter (E/I) reflects the source of motivation, the second letter (S/N) represents the cognitive means, the third letter (T/F) is the thinking mode, and the fourth letter (J/P) indicates the style of behavior. The meaning of each letter of ESTP is as follows:

The meaning of ESTP four letters The ESTP in the eyes of outsiders Action-oriented, practical, impatient with theories and empty talk, with small smarts, preferring to use simple methods to deal with difficult problems. Sometimes it gives people a feeling of speculation. When doing things, they pay attention to efficiency and have a very sensitive reaction. They do not like to make plans and reject the steady and solid effort method. They are good at breaking all the cumbersome conventions and will not play by the rules, so it will also make people with J tendencies feel insecure. They have a strong insight but weak empathy. They speak directly, have no patience and hate irrational conversations. They do not care about the criticism of people they do not like. Dominant function and blind spot Dominant function (the strongest advantage): Se extroverted sensing, with sensitive senses, very discerning, able to observe very subtle changes in the environment, and relying on visible details to understand people and things. They are interested in the external world because they like sensory stimulation. If the external environment does not change all the time, they will feel very bored. Auxiliary function (the means to assist the dominant function): Ti introverted thinking, focusing on logic and correctness. Through logical analysis of the information perceived from the external world, they can infer the meaning represented by the phenomenon and quickly find responses or solutions to make immediate reactions. Third function (the function that is not easy to play well): F emotion. When the second function is not developed and perfected, there is no internal logic formed. It is easy to overuse the emotional function to make up. It presents a state of pleasing others. Saying different things to different people and even using emotions to incite people; when encountering problems or pressure, it may close this function and feel impatient with interpersonal relationships, making people look cold-blooded. Fourth function (blind spot): Ni introverted intuition. Because they live in the present very much and are very flexible, they do not care about and are not good at thinking about the future. They do not like to make future plans. When facing setbacks in reality or not getting appreciation, they will be afraid of the unknown and even develop suspicion. The state of flow and development opportunities The state of flow (Flow) is also called 'trance' and 'immersion'. It describes a state in which people are completely focused on it and feel satisfied and happy. In MBTI, it is a state in which a person is most comfortable and can give full play to self-value. It is not a spontaneous state but can be achieved by creating an environment. The state of flow of ESTP: Connecting with the external world, interacting with different people, getting sensory stimulation in the environmental scene, thus obtaining a lot of fresh information, and quickly responding to the external environment through analyzing these information and giving full play to the talent of adaptability in a fast-paced environment. Many athletes, politicians, negotiation experts, and e-sports players are ESTP, and the fields such as marketing and sales that deal with people are also very common. Not being able to enter the state of flow may be because the above functions are not developed and perfected. It is necessary to consciously discover and improve:

1. If the dominant function Se is not developed well and excessive pursuit of sensory experience, it will be immersed in the excitement of adrenaline. Feeling that daily life is too boring, the subconscious will create some dramatic things and find motivation through stimulating themselves, such as arguing with others and finding fault with others. At this time, it is necessary to use the auxiliary function to think about whether one's behavior is reasonable. There must be a checking mechanism to control the excessive use of sensory functions.
2. If the auxiliary function Ti is not developed well and the logic is not clear enough, it will be easy to make decisions impulsively and then not know why one did certain things. In this case, it is possible to cultivate the habit of reflecting and summarizing after the event, thinking about what was expected at the beginning, what actually happened, why things are different from imagination, and what can be done in the future. Through such reflection and analysis, make one's logic stronger.
3. Because they have a little smartness since childhood and have a very sensitive reaction. They can learn and sell on the spot for many things. They can pass the test by making a last-minute effort. Over time, they will develop the habit of not preparing before doing things. Therefore, learning to prepare more is also a place for development. Preparation and planning can allow you to better play your strength. Without preparation, you can pass with 60 points. With good preparation, you may be able to get 80 or even 100 points. How to get along with ESTP
4. They are soft but not hard. When encountering the strong, they will become stronger. So don't try to suppress or emotionally blackmail them. You will suffer the consequences.
5. Because they are adaptable and do not like to make plans, if you are their superior or teacher, set a few clear checkpoints when doing things. Check the progress regularly and don't be obsessed with their implementation details. Remind them of the goal in the process. Otherwise, they may forget the big direction in various adaptations.
6. When talking to them, focus on the key points and don't talk too much about theories or draw too big pies. Unrelated communication will only make them impatient or distracted. They are people who can multi-task. So when talking to them while doing other things such as walking, eating or exercising, they are more likely to listen carefully and the communication effect will be better.
7. If you are their spouse, you need to be more tolerant and understand their habit of not preparing before doing things. If it is a relatively important thing that must be prepared or reserved in advance, they also rely heavily on people around them to remind them.
8. They are very good at discovering changes in people, things and whether they are in line with normal logic through sensory details. So don't try to deceive them. They are very vigilant. When interacting with them, be honest. If you want to give them a surprise, it is better not to meet in advance. Otherwise, they can easily notice and catch you through your body language, speaking voice and other details. Suggestions for ESTP
9. Don't rely too much on your flexibility and small smarts and miss the opportunity to discover your potential. You need to know that you must have a very solid foundation. Only then can the adaptability play a good role. Otherwise, what is shown is just superficial skills and it is difficult to expand the pattern.
10. Give full play to your sensitive senses and engage in activities that can receive a lot of sensory stimulation, such as improvisational performance and extreme sports. Let the energy of adrenaline soaring be spent in constructive places. Otherwise, your life will be very boring and you will create a dramatic life by yourself.
11. Your observation ability is very strong and it is easy to see whether others like you, don't like you, or who is lying. But when your core logic is not developed and perfected, don't rush to respond. Think clearly whether the details you observe are useful to you and whether you need to absorb and respond. Otherwise, your pressure will be very great and it is easy to become a people-pleasing personality.
12. You are used to focusing on the present. So the many problems you see may only be appearances. Things are multifaceted and the actual problems may be very complex. You need to dig deeper and learn to think twice before acting.
13. Understand that your adaptability and lack of planning will be a source of pressure for many people, such as people with J tendencies. From your point of view, you will think they are very annoying and always distrust you and find fault with you. That is because you are too flexible and your unorthodox behavior will make them feel nervous. So when managing relationships, be more empathetic about this.
14. When you are not mature enough, don't make promises easily to others and learn to manage others' expectations of you. If you are not sure you can do it, communicate with others in advance. This is more helpful for maintaining interpersonal relationships and feelings.
