whatever complicates the typing

[miss fortune]

ESxPs' Se usage almost seems to occur subconsciously. Since it's basically their flow state, they don't need to make a conscious effort to use it, but they're always scanning and taking in information, even when they don't realize it.

one does not notice one's primary or secondary functions in use so much as they do their tertiary and inferior because they are as natural as breathing

of course I'm in my 30s and have pretty much LIVED 50+ years, which might throw people off a bit with typing as well

Lust for life.

Another apt archetype name for ESTP might be "the Hemingway."

I think that the ISTPs usually claim him, but it'd be fitting

he even writes with about as much expression as I speak with

I think it's more difficult to type oneself after age 30.

Yeah whatever, you're fine as an ESTP. I think you're not an extreme extrovert. It's ok we're all varying levels with most close to the middle. I can see a lot of your forum self in that video.

I think you're not an extreme extrovert.

It's been my observation that ESTP can be one of the more socially introverted of the extroverted types.

 

[Masokissed]

ESTP. I'm not as introverted as you, but I'm not particularly extraverted either. My F probably pushes me to extraversion more than your T can, but those Fe heavy ESTPs are way more extraverted than me lol. You're just a Ti-heavy ESTP.

Or before the age of 20.

I know typing by user title is one hell of a stretch, but "genius ditz" is an Se-dom motto if I've ever heard one.

 

[Doctor Cringelord]

Or before the age of 20.

Yes, I think that's accurate too.

My guess is that 24 or 25 would be the ideal age for most people to determine the most accurate, best fit.

Yes. I see their Ti/Fe in dealing with people, mainly. That is usually how I spot ESTPs. The Se/Ti isn't always at the forefront in an obvious way, like you stated.

I think it's possible that we're having a trickier time gauging whatever's E vs I because she is, as someone mentioned upthread, alone in a room talking to a camera. Could be completely different energy if she were being interviewed or in the room with someone else there. Interaction can often be very helpful when typing, since it's also a matter of degree.

[MENTION=6554]/DG/[/MENTION] I've always gone with extrovert because I'm very Pe so cognitively I'd be one as opposed to behaviorally where I have wished that I had the reptilian ability to hiss at people and retreat beneath a rock

Hmm that makes sense. I never really saw that point of view as particularly useful though, idk.

Btw Se is the best function!
