So real quick. I’ve learned things. ENTPs and ESTPs? People mistake us for each other all the time. Because apparently, if you don’t do sports, you MUST be an ENTP, right? Or if you have an interest in sports, you’re suddenly walking the possibility of being an ESTP. All in all, it’s a bunch of bullshit, so I’m here to lay down behavioral differences I’ve noticed in ENTPs and ESTPs.
1- Pettiness is the driving force of every decision an ESTP makes. Well, almost always. This is how we get into such comedically bad situations. ENTPs are no stranger to being petty, but are so in such a way that such behavior is reflected on a much smaller and more reasonable scale.
2- Both personalities have the potential to be nice people. I’m not here to convince you that ESTPs are assholes (despite the fact that we are). However, ESTPs have a noticeably shorter fuse than ENTPs. It’s suggested by the few who have actually gotten to study us that we’re not actually angry, but just notably intense people, seeming to be angry to those around us. Not that intense? Probably an ENTP.
3- ESTPs can be very intelligent people who go beyond frat boys. Just because you’re creative and intelligent does not automatically place you as an ENTP. The frat boy, though, is the most common version of us in the world. Both types are crafty and witty though, which is what causes us to be mistaken for the other. The ESTP, for better or for worse, will be easily more fast-paced and energetic, commonly doing before thinking.
4- Last But not least, ESTPs are simply far more confrontational. If we see something, we’re going to say something. While it IS for a good cause (commonly, hopefully), many individuals are intimidated by us for a reason. We’re brash, we love to challenge bullshitters, and we tend to be very aggressive about it, especially since we tend to be overprotective of the underdog of the group (a typically unknown ESTP trait). ENTPs can be confrontational (naturally), but will most likely do so in a less direct manner unless first provoked.
I hope this helps to let people see the difference between ENTPs and ESTPs. It was kind of all over the place, but hey, that’s what I’m good at, right? Screw planning.
