Hi, SPs. Sorry that this is my first post in your sub-forum.
There is a woman in my professional life that I clash with very very badly (she has irrationally hated me from the word go) and I suspect she is ESTP. This particular profile of ESTP isn't very flattering, but its describes my enemy:
this dovetails with the following comment:
The suspected ESTP adores "Big Brother" type shows where contestants use information shared with one another to sabotage each other and get others expelled. She has said on more than one occasion that she believes everyone should watch it to gain life skills. She also tries to play this game in the workspace.
I'm new to typing people, but I felt like it might help me understand her better. At this point, I don't think it can help us get along, because her behavior makes it clear thats impossible. Naturally, I won't hold it against ESTPs as a whole, because I've probably gotten along with other ESTPs in life. Plus, the colleagues I have talked to also believe this person has some serious interpersonal dysfunction.
If anyone has any replies on this I am really interested.
oooh... I've rarely hated coworkers in the past, though the ones I did hate I really really hated!
Most of the time my information collecting was done purely out of boredom- I find information about ANYTHING and ANYONE to be fascinating and therefore knew what any given coworker was up to at any time I never really would USE any of this against any coworker unless they backed me into a corner, and then I would use any resource or information that I had to get back to being in control of myself!
I suppose if I went all EVIL I could use the information that I know for wicked and manipulative ends though
Most people are horrified when they first meet me because I forget to think before speaking, but they usually warm up pretty quickly! It's apparently hard to hate someone who actually LIKES humanity!
