in my opinion, ESTJs would probably be overachieving as far as career/job goes. the SFJs would probably overachieve with family and traditions.

although, I think you could pin an overachieving label on most of the types when it comes to one thing or another. INTPs might be overachievers at gathering as much data as possible, for instance.

The only type that doesn't overachieve at anything is the ENFP. amirite


What are ENTPs overachievers at? Coming up with "what if" scenarios?


What if I had a delicious piece of carrot cake right now? I'd eat it, and it would be yummy nummy good. But what if there was a bomb in it? Oh no! :eek:

ESTJ pretty much crushes everybody on this one, at least as far as academics and other traditional means of success.

There's no such thing as an overachiever. It is a term that an onlooker might use because they underestimated the persons abilities.

Uhh.

No entps? I see ESFJs overachieving to impress; i tend to overachieve, and not to impress but simply because I want to prove to myself I can. It's almost like fun. hell, I'll do it just for shits and giggles.

I could sell way more laxative-based cookies than you.
Let me guess... Yours would come with free cans of beans. :D

And a pack of gum laced with small shards of glass! I'd wear large black sunglasses. Nobody would know who.

I only overachieve to impress myself .. I know i can do it so i will. I have a need to push myself.
