ESTPs [Han Solo]:

casual in dress (e.g., tie askew if they must wear a suit) and manner (hearty handshake/laughter)

earthy, especially in the humor department, and charming in a rough diamond kind of way

say what they think as they think it, and may stick their foot in their mouth at inopportune times (and possibly even try to talk with said foot still there)

competitiveness tends to be balanced by playfulness and may be expressed through roughhousing

can appear deceptively laidback unless enthused by an activity, and then may seem frenetic to an introverted type such as myself

divorce--and remarriage--seems to be fairly common among this type

feel caged in by too much structure and get restless, fidgety


ENTJs [Darth Vader]:

sharp-dressed (e.g., the tie will not be askew--it wouldn't dare!) and forceful in manner (they don't walk, they stride)

usually direct in speech but can sound convoluted if they're working through a concept or plan right as the words spill out (with an accompanying dreamy/deranged expression which becomes more fanatical as their thoughts solidify)

cerebral, spending more time in their minds than ES types, due to tendency to strategize in any and all situations

come across as intense, which can intimidate timid souls but energizes likeminded ones

hell is sitting still

pile up the achievements, one of which may be a trophy spouse (or golddigger if they're not careful)

feel caged in by structure imposed by anyone other than themselves and will work ceaselessly to rearrange things to their own liking


Disclaimer:

These evaluations are based on limited interactions/observations with individuals whose types I don't have the ability to verify through testing. Also, I've known more suspected ESTPs than ENTJs.
Well....

I like dancing, and studying, and battle of wits. I also like to mentor other people towards a given goal as it's listed in ENTJs description. I'm also very competitive with my grades and all that. However I don't like preppy women - like better girls that are low-key and don't wear any make-up. I also like a lot to draw and play sports, as well as mountain climbing, and languages. I'm competitive in my work and like to do better than my coworkers, but I'm not interested in being in charge. I just want to play. I am extremely fond of sexual jokes I touch my balls in public without really noticing what I'm doing, too.

I think ESTP's are very practical people. They can deal with most any situation and live by their wits. However, they aren't particularly good at planning or being decisive until the moment's upon them.

ENTJ's are very driven to control situations for the best results due to their Te. They are able to use their Ni to see how things could unfold, and prepare for several eventualities.
Well! I can do both!

No, you make a good point, by this token I'd clearly be ENTJ.
