ESTP’s personality compatibility is based on the cognitive alignment of the types, their temperament, and their interaction style. ESTPs are as follows:
There is no perfect 100% compatible match. ESTPs are scored for their compatibility with other personality types based on four factors- communication, passion, friendship, and partnership. A match that is high in one is often lower in another. It is up to the individual to decide which factors are most important for them in a relationship.
ESTPs have the greatest compatibility in communication with types that share the same cognitive functions. The cognitive functions are like languages our minds speak and when someone has the same functions, we do not have to translate our minds to them. ESTPs speak the languages of logic and reality. As a result, ESTPs communication compatibility can be broken down as follows:
For partnership, ESTPs are most compatible with IJ types- meaning INTJ, INFJ, ISTJ, and ISFJ. Together, they are the most efficient and get the most done. The IJ balances them out and helps them to execute effectively on their ideas. Further, their working styles do not clash with each other, preventing conflict and complacency.
For friendship, ESTPs tend to be compatible with fellow SP types. This means they have the greatest compatibility for companionship with ISTPs, ESTPs, ESFPs, and ISFPs. These types see the world through a similar lens and so can easily get along and enjoy activities together.
ESTPs have the greatest amount of passion compatibility in a relationship with those that have opposite cognitive functions to them. For them, ESTJs, ISTJs, ENFPs, and INFPs are polar opposites to them and create a spark. However, this passion can also turn to the most electric fights. These types together are the most likely to resolve their arguments with “physical activities.”
ESTPs have the greatest amount of conflict, and thus least compatibility, with the personality types that have opposite cognitive functions. When two people with opposite perspectives come together, they are bound to conflict eventually. While all couples have arguments no matter what their types, below are some common points of conflict for ESTPs with other personality types.
The FP’s values do not make sense to the ESTP because they are based in an intuitive feeling and liking of a thing rather than underlying reasons. The ESTP’s logic annoys the FP. They don’t care about the reasons behind an action, just that they did it. The FP makes the ESTP feel like they’re a bad or cold person for putting logic above feeling. The ESTP makes the FP feel like their feelings are invalid in the face of logic.
The TJ is focused on efficiency and gets frustrated with the ESTP’s need for understanding which can slow things down. ESTPs can lack respect for TJ’s lack of depth of understanding a subject. The ESTP sees that the TJ can say a bunch of facts but does not have a true understanding of the subject at its core. When a TJ teaches or tries to explain a concept to an ESTP, the ESTP is prone to ask many questions to develop their own internal framework of the subject. The TJ sometimes interpret these questions as being dumb or lacking research.
