Section: List bullet points:

Strengths Bold – People with the Entrepreneur personality type are full of life and energy. There is
no greater joy for Entrepreneurs than pushing boundaries and discovering and using new
things and ideas.

Rational and Practical – Entrepreneurs love knowledge and philosophy, but not for their
own sake. What’s fun for Entrepreneur personalities is finding ideas that are actionable
and drilling into the details so they can put them to use. If a discussion is completely
arbitrary, there are better uses for Entrepreneurs’ time.

Original – Combining their boldness and practicality, Entrepreneurs love to experiment

with new ideas and solutions. They put things together in ways no one else would think to.

Perceptive – This originality is helped by Entrepreneurs’ ability to notice when things

change – and when they need to change! Small shifts in habits and appearances stick out
to Entrepreneurs, and they use these observations to help create connections with others.

Direct – This perceptive skill isn’t used for mind games – Entrepreneurs prefer to
communicate clearly, with direct and factual questions and answers. Things are what they
are.

Sociable – All these qualities pull together to make a natural group leader in
Entrepreneurs. This isn’t something that they actively seek – people with this personality
type just have a knack for making excellent use of social interactions and networking
opportunities.
Weaknesses Insensitive – Feelings and emotions come second to facts and “reality” for
Entrepreneurs. Emotionally charged situations are awkward, uncomfortable affairs,
and Entrepreneurs’ blunt honesty doesn’t help here. These personalities often have a
lot of trouble acknowledging and expressing their own feelings as well.

Impatient – Entrepreneurs move at their own pace to keep themselves excited.

Slowing down because someone else “doesn’t get it” or having to stay focused on a
single detail for too long is extremely challenging for Entrepreneurs.

Risk-prone – This impatience can lead Entrepreneurs to push into uncharted

territory without thinking of the long-term consequences. Entrepreneur personalities
sometimes intentionally combat boredom with extra risk.

Unstructured – Entrepreneurs see an opportunity – to fix a problem, to advance, to

have fun – and seize the moment, often ignoring rules and social expectations in the
process. This may get things done, but it can create unexpected social fallout.

May Miss the Bigger Picture – Living in the moment can cause Entrepreneurs to
miss the forest for the trees. People with this personality type love to solve problems
here and now, perhaps too much. All parts of a project can be perfect, but the project
will still fail if those parts do not fit together.

Defiant – Entrepreneurs won’t be boxed in. Repetition, hardline rules, sitting quietly
while they are lectured at – this isn’t how Entrepreneurs live their lives. They are
action-oriented and hands-on. Environments like school and much entry-level work
can be so tedious that they’re intolerable, requiring extraordinary effort from
Entrepreneurs to stay focused long enough to get to freer positions.

Friendships The Challenge of Intimacy

& Sexually, Entrepreneurs have no real reservations. It’s fun, it’s physically enjoyable, new
Relationships ideas are always welcome, and Entrepreneur personalities’ strong perception keeps them
well-tuned to their partners’ needs. However, Entrepreneurs’ separation of the physical
act from the more emotional and spiritual connections that many other types look for in
intimacy can be a serious source of tension if everybody isn’t on the same page. Some
types need sex to be a genuine expression of love – Entrepreneurs just aren’t one of
them.

As time passes, it can be challenging for Entrepreneurs to move their relationships to

deeper, more emotionally intimate levels. Easily bored, people with the Entrepreneur
personality type seek constant excitement – sometimes even intentionally exposing
themselves to risk if they feel stuck. If their partners aren’t able to keep up, Entrepreneurs
may just end up looking for someone new. It’s not that Entrepreneur personalities are
unfaithful. Rather, they may think to themselves “This isn’t working, so why should I
pretend it is?” Entrepreneurs are rational, and can exercise self-control if they choose, but
being as charming and popular as they are, it can sometimes be a little too easy to move
on.

Loving Without Inhibition

As with any relationship, it takes work and patience. Not every day can be a thrill a
minute. But Entrepreneurs are adaptable, curious individuals, which certainly helps to
keep the flame burning. Maintaining healthy relationships is the ultimate chance for
Entrepreneurs to exercise their talents in perceiving every change in their partners’ mood
 and behavior, while also using their problem-solving abilities to address their needs.
Entrepreneurs can also strengthen more neglected traits, like emotional sensitivity and
long-term planning.

A Zest for Life

Hands-on, physical activities like team sports are Entrepreneurs’ idea of fun, and these
environments give them plenty of chances to make new friends. There is little difficulty for
Entrepreneurs here – they seem to get along with just about everyone, and make new
friends wherever they go. Entrepreneurs live in the moment, and as a naturally confident
personality type (especially if they are Assertive as well), they don’t worry much about
what others think of them. This attracts friends who share their attitude and zest for life.
While not opposed to long philosophical discussions, and often enjoying the intellectual
exercise, Entrepreneurs are unlikely to develop friendships based solely around one-on-
one discussions about European economic challenges and the role of religion in politics.
Straightforward to the point of being blunt, Entrepreneurs call it like they see it, and an
honest opinion in debate is a sure thing. But at their hearts, Entrepreneurs are people of
action, preferring to do what can be done than to talk about what might someday be.

Adventure Awaits
Sitting idle, especially in boredom, is the bane of Entrepreneurs’ existence.
Exploration, excitement, adrenaline and risk – Entrepreneurs’ friends should be prepared
for all of these things. Often enough they’re happy to perform for the crowd, but they also
tend to encourage their friends to join in. Most personality types might take “thanks but no
thanks” personally, but Entrepreneurs are comfortable with who they are, and are more
likely to just shrug their shoulders and move on with those friends who are game for
adventure.

Career Paths When it comes to Entrepreneurs’ career options, “action” is the word of the day. People
with the Entrepreneur personality type think on their feet and are great at making quick
decisions in the heat of the moment. At the same time, they’re affable people who always
seem to make friends and connections wherever they go. Popularity and solid networking
can be huge assets in the working world, and Entrepreneurs nail it. This social
intelligence, combined with Entrepreneurs’ natural boldness and improvisational skill,
makes sales, business negotiations, marketing, even acting – any tense, competitive
environment – a great fit. Entrepreneur personalities trust themselves to make the right
call. Risks, big and small, are a part of life, and Entrepreneurs don’t sit around waiting for
some boss at the top to tell them what to do. This can get Entrepreneurs into trouble, but
often enough it’s exactly what’s needed, and can boost them up the career ladder just as
well. Restrictions, rules, highly structured environments – these are great ways to drive
Entrepreneurs crazy. People with this personality type live life on their own terms, and this
makes them brilliant business people and freelancers. These roles also allow them to
delegate the more tedious aspects of work, the accounting, meticulous research and so
forth, to those better suited.
Entrepreneurs are curious, energetic people with a taste for action. There are those who
analyze and manage the logistics of public safety resource distribution, and there are
those who drive the ambulances, patrol the streets, and save lives with their own two
hands – Entrepreneur personalities are the latter. They are highly observant yet impatient,
enabling them to take in the whole of a situation at a glance, and act. Any emergency
response role is great for Entrepreneurs, whether it be as paramedics, police officers, or
soldiers.

The Thrill of the Game

This quality of living in the moment and craving immediate results for their efforts
translates well into another field: sports. The thrill of competition, of pushing themselves to
the physical limit to rack up just one more point for the win can have no comparison for
Entrepreneurs. Whether they are on the field as athletes themselves, coaching from the
 sidelines or commentating from high above, people with the Entrepreneur personality type
revel in well-honed team effort and a well-executed plan, and any of these positions
makes a fine line of work for them.

Workplace In just about any environment, the workplace included, it’s pretty easy to spot
Habits Entrepreneurs. Boisterous and spontaneous, fun-loving and maybe a little crass,
people with the Entrepreneur personality type love tackling problems as they arise
and telling great stories about their solutions afterwards. Naturally, some positions
work better with these qualities than others, but Entrepreneurs are adaptable
individuals, and can find a way to make just about any situation a little more
interesting.

Entrepreneur Subordinates
Entrepreneurs’ most challenging position is the one that most people have to start
out in: as subordinates. While perfectly capable of exercising restraint on their own
terms, Entrepreneur personalities hate having others’ rules and regulations foisted
upon them. Entrepreneurs are known for their experimentation, improvisation and
quick thinking – if they’re not allowed to use these qualities and have to check in with
a supervisor for every little thing, they’ll be bored and frustrated.
Entrepreneurs know well that risk equals reward, and they’ll gladly skirt more
mundane tasks in favor of something a little more exciting, in the hope that it catches
someone’s attention. A plaque and a bonus go a long way for people with this
personality type. Getting ahead by the tenets of staid reliability, quiet helpfulness, or
mere seniority isn’t Entrepreneurs’ way – they move forward by sheer force of
personality in a well-handled crisis.
Entrepreneur Colleagues
As colleagues, Entrepreneurs have a work hard, play hard mentality – as long as
everyone else is pulling their weight, they’ll gladly pull their own, and have a great
time doing it. Charming and popular individuals that they are, networking comes
naturally to Entrepreneurs. These qualities make it easy for Entrepreneur
personalities to get along with just about anyone.
At the same time, if Entrepreneurs see a colleague as incompetent, or worse, lazy,
they let them know in no uncertain terms. Emotional sensitivity is not their strong
suit. Entrepreneurs are very observant and well-tuned to changes in their colleagues’
habits and moods – unless they themselves are the cause of distress.
Entrepreneur Managers
Management positions are where Entrepreneurs are usually most comfortable, as
they often give the most flexibility. Rules and traditions are a bother for people with
the Entrepreneur personality type – they’d rather try a bunch of new ideas with a
chance of getting things done faster or better than to pay attention to “the way things
have always been done” or subordinates’ comfort with experimentation.
Entrepreneurs are practical, with a focus on what does, or could, work best.
This can make for a chaotic environment, but Entrepreneurs’ inspiring cult of
personality makes them well-suited to handling such a thing. Entrepreneurs enjoy
living in the moment. Rather than some broad, intangible future accomplishment like
“making customers happy”, Entrepreneur personalities set small, clear, measurable,
and attainable goals that keep things on track day-to-day, and hearty congratulations
can always be relied on for a job well done. Entrepreneurs keep their eyes on the
finish line, but they get their step by step.
 My career plan is to go into post-secondary for an engineering degree. To achieve an
engineer degree, I must be in post-secondary for a minimum of 4 years for a bachelor’s degree.
The course work demands you to have a strong understanding of math and science. The course
is tough and requires patience when things don’t go your way. Engineers tend to work long
hours and must be resilient through tough times.

Some of my traits don’t connect to my career plans. An engineering job is more of an

introverted job. It requires concentration on solo work with little social interaction. There is a lot
of designing and redesigning. This repetition doesn’t fit my traits. ESTP is more of a flexible
personality and don’t like hard set rules. As my career plan requires me to go to post-secondary
I will be listening to lectures and dealing with rules and regulations that I will have to follow to
complete my degree. An engineer’s job is very important as it affects millions of people.
Engineers must be patient and not skip out on the tiniest of details. No risks should be taken
that affect others negatively. The risky behavior of ESTP doesn’t connect with the patient and
detail oriented job of engineering. Engineers are given a ring, that symbolizes the high standard
that engineers must work with.

I think ESTP is partially accurate. I am a extroverted person outside of work hours.

However while I have to focus I much rather work alone. This allows for me to achieve my best
results. Whenever I have done group work in school, it usually is we get assigned certain tasks
and split up the work. This works much better than working on everything together. I am very
direct and enjoy factual questions and answers. This is shown by my enjoyment in STEM
classes. I work much better in STEM than huminites because I know there is a right and wrong
way of doing calculations.

Some of the traits of ESTP are very accurate. I am a unstructured person, and don’t like
mini deadlines. I will rather have a final deadline and go at my own pace to finish the big task. I
will set my own deadlines in my mind instead of a calendar for shorter deadlines as it allows for
flexibility for me. I also love sports and will continue to play them through my life. I enjoy the thrill
of winning and knowing the effort I put in will pay off. Competition drives me to be a better
version of myself. An example of this is going to the gym with my friends. As I watch my friends
do reps I enjoy pushing them to do better. I then will try to match the reps as a challenge to
myself.
