Energetic and Action-Oriented Adventurer

Introduction

Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all.

— Helen Keller

ESTPs (Entrepreneurs) are lively individuals full of enthusiasm and spontaneous energy. They tend to have a competitive edge and often assume that a competitive mindset is a prerequisite for success in life. Their driven, action-oriented attitude means they rarely waste time dwelling on the past. In fact, they excel at rooting their attention in the present—so much so that they're rarely preoccupied with time throughout the day.

Boring discussions about theory, abstract concepts, or global issues and their implications don't hold an ESTP's interest for long. They keep conversations energetic and, while they have plenty of intelligence, they prefer to talk about what is—or better yet, just go out and do it. They often leap before they look, fixing mistakes as they go rather than sitting idle preparing for contingencies and escape clauses.
