CPP, Inc. | 800.624.1765 | www.cpp.com ESTPs at Work • ESTPs develop easy ways to do hard things, and they make their work fun. • They don’t let rules or standard procedures interfere with getting the job done. • They are good team members and can pull conflicting factions together. • ESTPs are experts at seeing the need of the moment and responding quickly to meet it. • They can be gifted problem solvers because they focus on the current situation and accept the reality of what exists. • Because they are not bound by a need to follow standard procedures or preferred methods, they are often able to see ways of achieving a goal by “using” the existing rules, systems, or circumstances in new ways, rather than allowing them to be roadblocks. • ESTPs do best in jobs requiring a practical and realistic approach to problems, action, and adaptability. Examples are engineering, police work, marketing, construction, recreation, food service, and any job requiring troubleshooting. • They are likely to be bored in a job that requires them to work on abstract problems or engage in long-range planning. Potential Blind Spots for ESTPs • If ESTPs have not developed their Sensing preference, they may not take in enough facts and then rush into premature action. • If they have not developed their Thinking preference, ESTPs will not have a useful way of sifting through and selecting from the barrage of incoming sensory data. They may then make poor decisions and have difficulty setting priorities. • If their Thinking preference is undeveloped, their decisions may be limited to gratification of their sensual desires, particularly those involving physical challenge and risk. • Also, they may have no standards for their behavior, or no direction and purpose in their life. • ESTPs may lack stick-to-itiveness; if so, they are in danger of overindulging their love of a good time.
