How Others May See Them
ESTP s are strong in the art of living. They love life and immerse themselves in it; others respond to their enthusiasm and good
humor. ESTPs are people of action. They usually dislike and avoid theory and written directions. Traditional schools can be
difficult for people with these preferences, though ESTP s do well when they see the relevance and are allowed to experiment.

Dealing with Change
ESTP s focus on their immediate environment and are acute observers of what is goin on around them. They are stimulated by variety and activity, and they love doing
things with people.
Change is exciting and challenging to ESTPs, who are practical problem solvers. What is uninteresting to them is theories, long-rang plans, tight structures, and
careful time lines. ESTPs are resourceful troubleshooters when dealing with realistic problems, and they learn best by plunging in and interacting with their environment.
ESTP s make up 5.4% of the population
