 * See also École spéciale des travaux publics

ESTP (Extroverted Sensing Thinking Perceiving) is one of the sixteen personality types from personality type systems based on C.G. Jung, of which the best-known are the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), Keirsey Temperament Sorter and Socionics.

Referring to Keirsey, ESTPs belong to the Artisan temperament and are called "Promoters".

In Socionics ESTps belong to the club of the pragmatists, the beta Quadra and are named "The Conqueror". Another notation for ESTp is SLE (which is an acronym for Sensory-Logical Extratim, referring to the cognitive functions).

Myers-Briggs Characteristics
According to Myers-Briggs, ESTPs are hands-on learners who live in the moment, seeking the best in life, wanting to share it with their friends. The ESTP is open to situations, able to improvise to bring about desired results. They are active people who want to solve their problems rather than simply discuss them.

Keirsey Characteristics
According to Keirsey, ESTPs, or "Promoter Artisans", are the most adept among the types at manipulating other people. The ESTP knows everyone who matters and everything there is to do. They like to indulge themselves in the finer things in life and to bring other people with them. Their goal in life is to sell themselves and their ideas to others. Dramatic and debonair, they are gifted at earning others' confidence.

Socionics Characteristics
According to the Socionics type profile, ESTps, or "Conquerors", are adaptable risk-takers able to keep their eyes on long-term goals. ESTps have strong wills and level heads and are good at rallying and organizing others to meet their needs. However, while gifted at identifying the traits that make others useful to them, they often underestimate others' true strengths, particularly in contrast to their own. ESTps may step on others without remorse.
