'A couple of things pop out at me. First off, you share the same in charge interaction style as ESTPs, See the link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interaction_Styles One of the things I didn't get...
It goes without saying you are a F or immature T with regards to personality. Let's try the ESTP way, you know with little things called facts. You say the temperature is correct without man's...
I so want to call bullshit on this statement. Monkeys aren't afraid of sex why should you? Your fear is not innate; it is one of conditioning. But I want to be understanding and not as judgmental so...
Do you understand how canned this all is? You are pushing every cliche in the book here: hopeless romantic, yolo, and you are using it to justify your fear. The last thing your response is is...
If you have to engage in name calling, you aren't a scientist. You linked to the data which is fine. The planet's average surface temperature has risen about 2.0 degrees Fahrenheit (1.1 degrees...
I am not sure I can improve upon this post. One woman responded it was the most inadvertently hilarious post she had ever read. I bet she had an INTJ partner: With INTJs? Oh yeah. They are one of...
I don't think it would be a disaster for ESTPs and INFJs to date, but you aren't far enough along in your type development or life experiences to make it be something that would make it long term....
Good post. I got the first 20 questions right on a practice LSAT right and then quit upset that the logical questions did not fit the completely crazy legal system I saw with my own eyes. It was like...
No psychologist worth their salt would make a diagnosis without speaking to him. Here is a link to people who actually met him:...
Okay. I am curious. Why are you putting ESTP over ISTP then? Well, that would explain some difference in my past fears and yours LOL, and BTW that people skills comment is more ISTP than...
LOL. Well, you are definitely a T. That is a logical statement with how you took me to mean inferior but that is now how I intended it to be defined. The way I was using it, inferior doesn't...
I think you are mistyped because I don't share most of those fears, and I don't think other ESTPs do as well. There are hints of a fourth function Ni going on here which would suggest your type to...
In general, I am very comfortable with ENTPs likely because we share the same decision making function of Ti, intraverted thinking. The good part about ENTPs is when I am being closed minded and...
Sigh, you have no respect for Ti, intraverted thinking, the way things are, and you are confusing it with popular thought Te (or at least what is popular in your circles). Here is extraverted...
I know there have been the retards on both sides of the political spectrum and had HRC won, there may have been right wing demonstrations. I get that. And I agree with Bill Maher in the sense that I...
You don't get that by being right when others were sure he was wrong that enhanced his reputation not ruined it? Talk about shooting the messenger. Your not having respect for intraverted thinking...
JFK had Addison's disease. It is possible that his having sex regularly with different women made him feel better. Like what? HIV wasn't an issue then. Herpes wasn't even considered shameful...
Whoa, Dedication, let's not get the anointing oil out just yet. I thought Trump was an ENTJ, but he was just a more mature ESTP than I was mastering both fact and feeling. Unlike this ESTP, he...
One of the things about being on the ESTP board is that we get to be our honest but often offensive selves. ESTPs aren't living in the rigid world of Js who have to have iron clad rules. We group or...
In relationships, there are two phases: the passionate, sexual love that lasts for a year at most and the hopefully long lasting, comfortable kind. For the stimulant phase, ENFPs are great fun,...
I don't think much of the advice given to you was specific to your situation but general commentary on how tough ESTP/ESFP type kids are to raise and what is the best method to work on them. ...
Malcolm, that was a great insight into our type. I was in total agreement with the healthy part, but I wasn't sure about the second unhealthy part (mostly because I was afraid you were right and I...
Sensational, you know you are way in the grip here right? Its sick how much pleasure I derived from dropping her at my moms today, Fi. I took a very hard road in life younger, its way easier...
As an ESTP, it doesn't matter who says something but whether what he says is correct, Ti, and it is naturally my preference to let what I do and who I am to stay anonymous. ESTPs routinely look down...
Inregards, you are religious right? The notion/belief you have is that you shouldn't have any physical contact with a guy unless there is an emotional connection and let me go one step further, you...
One of the things about being an ESTP is that you see things so clearly that you don't get involved in the wonderful brainstorming sessions you ENTPs do. So here you have a wonderful discussion...
ENTPs and ESTPs share Ti as the way in which we make decisions. We also share the trickster function, Fi, as our seventh function, and most of the screwups in my life come from not focusing on the...
That is a great question, but I think it is not being asked exactly right. Seeing as how ENTPs are Ne and ESTPs primary function is Se, I am going to use them as examples. What types are better at...
Lily, not that it matters because this is all theory, but I actually am a doctor. If you search for a thread on the INFJ board for a thread named an INFJ with OCD, you will see many of my posts on...
Thanks for the post, Bob. I feel sorry for this guy DJ. He came across type but is so messed up he can't even see who he is and how to make himself better. This is just pure nonsense for example,...
That is pretty typical with primary Ni. Those hazy visions can be pretty haunting. I pity the person who used their Ni and came up with the concept of radiation. I can imagine him or her telling...
The whole not good romantically is true for ESTPs in the sense that it has to do more with feelings. ESTPs can be good at this if it gets us to a desired end, i.e. getting you into bed, but once we...
I guess I started this poly-amorous thing about ESTPs up so I will respond. I was married, didn't cheat for ten years, and really didn't want to. Wife was pretty, smart, hard working kind ISFJ. We...
LOL. Okay, I will bite. First off, and this isn't true with INTPs, often when women come around asking about ESTPs, it is because they are having problems with a relationship. We ESTPs respond in the...
Translation: I think I am missing out on life bc society tells me that long term relationships are more fruitful than short term ones... but they really aren't for you. Not yet. Attention...
That is really funny. When I feel something bad is going to happen, I go into ESTP detective mode and try to figure what the bad thing could be. The INFJ told me that she doesn't think like that and...
Very, very good, NK. You need to critique my story. I want to know what I got wrong. Not sure ESTPs do the whole impressed with ourselves jaw line thing unless that line is there for humor in...
Sigh, I can't talk about other ESTPs, but when I read this about why stay being a friend as in my friend, I can give a million reasons why. Even on this website, I have helped people out with their...
Bugs is 10,000% right, NK. He gave you incredible advice, one of the smartest posts I have ever read. It's easier said than done, but if you do what he advises, I think you will be a lot happier.
And this is the INFJ writing with her inner ESTP: I pulled back the dusty curtain in my crappy hotel room. Of course, I had to get stuck in god forsaken Denver, in the middle of the snowstorm....
I went to this course by Dario Nardi about using an EEG for type, but we also had a fun writing exercise. You had to write a story but pretend you were doing so through the eyes of the other type...
I came back from a MBTI type course being taught by Dario Nardi, PHD. One fun exercise was to write a story through the eyes of a different type and he paired me with an INFJ. She had to write a...
Oh boy, I am waaaay too familiar with this type of conversation, having lived it for 20+ years. Your girl is an ISFJ. She gets her most pleasure living in the past, and that is why she is always...
Imagine my college professor voice. (Ahem). Now remember, Ms. Lorena, classic bipolar disorder has to do with two poles, extreme mania and extreme depression. The manic is high in every stimulative...
CM, that is an interesting topic. This is in the Personality Page on ESTPs, A mental toughness which makes them extremely hard to beat. In any contest, the ESTP will almost always be the last man...
I already know what happens with ENFP and trauma. They go on to OCD engaging in self destructive compulsive behavior. I thought you were talking about your personal stuff not his, so I...
Animal, I think you want feeling affirmation versus the truth. You want us to say, Yeah, we male ESTPs are shallow, pleasure driven, bastards that will always cheat. I don't think you are looking...
Sigh. Here we go again. Animal, I really like you. Kudos for you for being open to discussion. Even though you have been hurt by an ESTP, I don't sense one bit of anonymity towards our type. We...
Hey Animal! I found your posts really sexy which is kind of weird when you look at the written word. I could you see turning many ESTPs on. But you don't get us at all. You think you do, but you...
I am sorry too HS. Give the lady a hug, dinner, buy her something nice, and tell her how special she is to you... then get back to trying again:)'
