ESTP > [@](#): > > ESTPs are hands-on learners who live in the moment, seeking the best in life, wanting to share it with their friends. The ESTP is open to situations, able to improvise to bring about desired results. They are active people who want to solve their problems rather than simply discuss them. ---

> [@WordMan](#): > > I hear you - although I am an ENTJ, and I am VERY comfortable with public speaking and perform/sing in front of crowds regularly, I measured practically in the middle of E and I - just a point or two over into Extrovert. When I spoke with an MB expert along the way, one of them asked me what I did with my downtime - did I seek to be alone, or did I seek to be with others? I _totally_ crave alone time - which that person saw as “recharges batteries alone” and definitely leaning more towards introvert. Heh. I just did the test in **robardin** ’s link, and I appear to be an ENFJ 1/12/12/56. Like you, I’m comfortable performing in front of people (I really enjoy teaching!) and I like interacting with people, but I also really need my alone time, and I usually consider myself an introvert. I’ve always been sort of the stereotypical nerdy kid with glasses. Of course, I’ve done the test really fast, without thinking much about the questions, and my E, N and F are only slightly expressed, so it could be quite different the next time I take it. Only my J seems to be relatively strongly expressed. This said, it’s the second personality test in a few weeks that has me pegged as an extrovert. My friend wanted some practice administering a “survey” as part of his job, so he practiced on us. This test had the equivalent of an introversion/extroversion scale (but not in these terms), and it put me on the extrovert side, probably because I want retroaction (and praise, if possible) from other people regarding my work. ---
