ESTP

Like most people, ESTPs can hold grudges. However, thinking and perceiving (TP) types do not tend to hold grudges with as much intensity and length as the more feeling and judging (FJ) types. As extroverts (E), they tend to express their anger openly rather than bottling it up in a grudge.

ESTPs resent INFJs because they are polar opposites. ESTPs are extroverts and feel the need to change the introverted INFJ. ESTPs are sensors that feel things in the present, whereas INFJs are logical thinkers, and ESTPs also get affected by INFJ perfectionism because it feels demanding to them.

ESTP personality types are not lazy; they excel in working on short-term projects that deliver instant success. They are dynamic, action-orientated, incredibly smart, and excellent crisis managers. However, they struggle to deal with mundane tasks that do not provide instant gratification.

ESTPs are not clingy at all. ESTPs are easy-going individuals who enjoy their freedom and prefer to spend their time with free-spirited individuals. In relationships, ESTPs struggle to be with a needy partner. They value their independence and feel that clingy people hamper their growth.

ESTPs are not controlling or possessive. Attempts may be made to control people, and their passionate personalities may be misconstrued as possessive, but they are not the type to be tied down in any way. Any indication of these traits is rarely outwardly displayed, deliberate or spiteful.

ESTPs can be shy. The personality typecast as extrovert, rational thinking and as performer hides shyness. ESTPs choose the centre stage and use charisma and charm to avoid showing and being shy. ESTPs don’t withdraw into shyness but use interpersonal relationships to overcome these experiences. 

ESTP personality types in the MBTI classification are narcissistic and manipulative. The acronym stands for extrovert, sensing, thinking, and perceiving. This personality inventory is a loadstar for interpersonal and workplace relationships, with ESTPs as charismatic and controlling.

Although often seen as the entrepreneurial type, ESTPs undoubtedly have creative and artistic qualities birthed from their spontaneity, appreciation for art, and incredibly vast imaginations. They are impulsively inspired but can become bored and leave projects unfinished.
