What are they like? What are their preferences, strengths, weaknesses, annoying quirks, etc. etc. What were your experiences with them like?

1. Childhood experience at home/school/interaction with parents/interaction with authority
I was a super active child who just wanted to be around people as much as possible. Living in the middle of nowhere and forced to go to a school in a city made it rather difficult, since it was hard to see any friends I did have since they lived so far away while they lived very close together. At home I'd go exploring in the woods all the time or would want to do something outside with my family. At school for the most part I was the same way, I got into trouble starting when I picked on bullies because at the time I felt that they needed a taste of their own medicine. I was a sore loser, especially at board games, which I didn't prefer anyway. I'd always think of new games to play at recess just to keep things interesting for everyone. I only had trouble with authority when I became older, and I guess that's also when logic kicked in which was about 2nd or 3rd grade. I'd comply with authority, unless what they requested or reprimanded of me didn't make sense. I'd fight back with logic and for the most part would get in trouble for arguing back.
2. Relationship with each MBTI type
It's hard to say. Based on different stages of my life I was able to get along with several types, but I know some types whether healthy or unhealthy I tend to bash heads with. Other ESTPs and ESFPs are a lot of fun and I tend to get along with them the most. ISTPs and INTPs I get along well with too. I oddly enough really like ENFPs (especially male ENFPs) and get along with them for the most part although we do have our differences, same goes for ISTJs. I guess the types I really have trouble seeing eye to eye with are INFPs and ISFJs, as much as I try to see their perspective I cannot put the same values on their beliefs for myself, and I've accepted it.
3. Views on relationships
At the moment, I'm here to have fun. I've never been in a relationship before, and I'm okay with that. However, I'm okay entering into a relationship if it's someone I'd enjoy being with but at the same time can cover my weaknesses and flaws as I can cover his. I don't really have a type of guy that I like per say, but I have a type of relationship that I desire, and I guess the guy would have to be a certain type (not MBTI type) to fit in. We'd have to have fun, enjoy our time together like friends, know when to be serious and have intelligent conversation, accept our disagreements, be honest with each other and hold nothing back. I'd like my partner to be as interested in me as I am in him, and it would feel wrong to me if I didn't feel the same way another guy did if he was infatuated with me within a relationship. And sex is mandatory.
4. How you perceive of criticism
I like it, if it is going to better someone or myself. I take criticism every day, and try to apply it to change who I am and improve on what I do. However, there is a fine line between objective criticism and being a straight up bitch, and depending on where it's coming from, the context, the tone of voice, etc. I don't listen to bitches. They cause drama. Ain't nobody got time for that!
5. What you do when stressed
Depends on what I'm stressing about, and so many other factors. A lot of times I'll just look at pictures on the internet. If I'm super pissed about something I will have to go for a run to calm down. If my life is falling apart, I'll lay in bed for a few days. Either way, there is a correlation for what I do when I stress is that I have to avoid people. I feel as though it is my own problems to go through and I need to go through them in my own way...most of those ways aren't necessarily effective, but they're just coping mechanisms.

It's my experience that Female ESTP's have a very hard time expressing their actual preference. I like to ask people a lot of questions to get to know them and female ESTP's absolutely hate it, it's more to do with the fact that they just don't know how to respond to them because they don't seem to be leading anywhere.
I have gotten along with ESTP's, but I notice that they are actually intimidated by me, they actually pick up on the fact that I see through them. All ESTP's that I know describe me as judgmental, even when I'm just making observations about their character. I find ESTP's find me more interesting than I find them, I get a vibe of them being "dead" inside sure they have a grip on their current reality but they just can't seem to see longterm or grasp complex concepts to save their life.

Yeah, I think she´s ESTP.
I might break the mold seeing how none of the ESTP women on here are anything like me, but here goes.
1. Childhood experience at home/school/interaction with parents/interaction with authority We were homeschooled, and I was mostly better behaved than my INFJ and ENFP siblings. Being at home most of the time was a challenge because I always wanted to be out doing fun stuff like field trips, that is until my dad decided to move onto a sailboat and travel the US, then I was set! haha For some reason I was usually the last to learn how to walk, swim, ride a bike, etc. I was also a very quiet child and no one realized I was an extrovert until my late teens. I have a wonderful relationship with my parents.
2. Relationship with each MBTI type I've never had any real problems with types, but having an ENFJ mother is really hard sometimes. Harder for her than for me. And I don't know if I just don't get INFPs with all their little introverted feelings, or if they don't take the time to look up and understand me.
3. Views on relationships I only want one lifelong loving relationship. None of this ridiculous dating around. Where does that get you anyway? I've never had a boyfriend, a broken heart, or jealousy. And I don't want a relationship til I'm ready for marriage. There are better forms of fun and adventure than chasing boys. Plus I get all the male affirmation I need right now from my awesome brother and dad who love me to the ends of the earth.
4. How you perceive of criticism I'm surrounded by perfectionists. Just suck it up and do what they tell you next time.
5. What you do when stressed Go outside and pray and get some fresh air. Or stay up talking all night with my ENFP brother. I should journal more but I kind of suck at it.

Like ENTPs, ESTPs are unarguably sexy, unless they are Taylor Swift.
Female ESTPs are awesome. Everyone watches us. We re-invent cool every day. We kick so much ass... I could imagine Sailor Jupiter was an an ESTP. Mercury... ISTJ? Moon... ISTP? Mars... ENTJ? Venus... she's nothing the show just needed a blonde.
We re-name days of the week, to adapt to our current moods. It's also a funny way of justifying doing anything you want.
Saturday can very easily become...
HAT-urday, but only if your hat is close to half as cool as mine.
CAT-urday, a day where you spend a lot of time hanging out on the floor around the house in the way of people's paths
FAT-urday is when thanksgiving happens on the weekend.
Tuesdays could be..
CHOOSE-day, and that is when you give yourself the option to flake on stuff.
BLUES-day; "I just don't feel like going out to play" (bad moods can seem a bit INFJish)
CLUES-day; hide your room mates' stuff
TWOs-day, this one gets very OCD
ZOOs-day, watching Zoolander on a tuesday
SHOES-day, i don't care about this one it just rhymed
We have a keen eye for color, and we know what clothes look dumb. We know when smart people are dressing dumb. And then we know when dumb people are dressing smart. We ourselves prefer to dress simply because we think big. I don't wanna hear any small talk about how cute Cindy's new shoes are. Eff that. Small talk is for small minds.
ENTPs are sick. Meddling creative kids.... you guys make me blush

INTJane, your name says intj, your profile says INFJ, you say ESTP as "us".
Your writing style does not come across as any other ESTP I have seen.
Perhaps we are both confused.

@INTJane. Taylor Swift is no ESTP. Her first song says it all. She's railling against the ESTP cheerleader who is dominant, while she's more wallflower. I think her Cougar personal life is deceptive. I could see it as unhealthy spiritual search for love She always in her songs casts herself as the victim. I knew you were trouble. Fifteen, is the dippy so you're going to love me forever, I think an ESTP, man or woman would be like 'let's just see if we're right for each first', playing it a little bit more realistic. This is how I do it with my dates, and that idea never ends. I want to say she's an INFP or ENFP. Don't quote me word for word,but,yeah I do think her songs and her aggressive love life are more Idealistic centric.
This site casts her as either INFP or ENFP...Famous ENFPs - ENFP Forum | MBTI | Myers Briggs | Personality | Relationships - ENFP Forum | MBTI | Myers Briggs | Personality | Relationships - Understanding The Self and Others - Novice & Advanced ENFP Questions

So,basically you're writing them off as...wait for it.....stupid? I'm sure an ESTP woman could clobber your ass in hoops, due to their athleticism,meanwhile you're crying and being a sore loser. Always the bully ESTP. It's my opinion that ESTP women are not that girly. Oh, I feel so proud for having thought of this, you want to know what an ESTP woman is, watch the comedy of Sarah Silverman, or Chelsea Handler. This is my own opinion, but in interviews Sarah Silverman always talks about being more at home as "one of the guys", and really has breaks taboo humor. And I would strongly think with books like My Horizontal Life, and her blunt approach, Chelsea Handler is an ESTP. I gravitate towards those two.
Chelsea Handler -
Ronda Rousey-
I think these two girls are ESTP. My BIL always tells me they remind him of me; not in looks but in mannerism and personality. By the way, I see Pink on the ESTP list sometimes but I get more of an ISTP vibe from her. ESTP girls are more socially expressive and we have a childlike playful interaction. The ISTP girls I know have a more serious bad-ass vibe to them like Pink.
The interview with Ronda is more natural; she's being herself around town and in her apartment. Chelsea is more in character, even in her interview but I still think she's ESTP.

Watching Chelsea Handler makes me think of a childhood friend of mine. This girl was tough and seemed to have even less emotion than me, if that were possible. Never in a bad mood and never in a really high one: always steady in the middle. She was into the latest stuff: knew exactly what was cool before anyone else had heard of it. Was friends with all the coolest kids in the neighborhood. I don't know how she found them all since she was the oldest kid in her family so had to do her own networking, but she did. Sounds like she was probably an Se-dom, and not an ESFP since they're all feeling and this girl was absolutely not. But for being so social she was also pretty quiet: really didn't talk much and was definitely shy in some situations, not really with other kids but with adults. Could that be ESTP?
She could be an ESTP. I was never shy with adults as a kid but that could be more nurture than nature. I can also see how an 8w7 could come across a little more reserved than a 7w8 ESTP. It would also make sense an oldest child would be more 8 than 7. I can also see Chelsea as an 8w7.
In the video, Ronda comes across to me as an ESTP 7w8. She actually reminds me of myself in even the things she says, does and how she thinks. She's goofy, sort of childlike, in the sense that she wants others to know she is down to earth but also not to be taken advantage of and can think for herself.

I really want to watch the video of Ronda but I can't access it from where I am. I'll check it out when I'm back in the US in a few weeks.
