Sixteen personality types can be derived from the first four Global Scales (E-I, S-N, T-F, Z-A). The following descriptions are generalised summaries of characteristics that are most often held in common by those who fall into each of the four-letter type designations. The Facet Scales will further personalise and expand on the global descriptions contained in these summaries.Extras

ESTA – Promoting
As an ESTA you see the world as it is, approach it with curiosity, observe it well, embrace it openly, and adapt to whatever life may send your way. You are flexible, spontaneous, and practical when it comes to any experience you can process with your five senses.
ESTAs must be free to experiment and experience life directly. You are happiest when you can live life today, doing things on impulse rather than out of commitment, obligation, or duty. You tend to do what needs to be done, moment-by-moment.
Work frequently becomes play, and ESTAs are often great athletes, artists, crafts-workers, and musicians. You thrive on action and are good in a crisis. You enjoy handling unknown situations, in which the outcome is determined by your ability to apply your well-practiced problem-solving skills. You have a zest for living and revel in the physical comforts of life: great food, nice clothes, good housing, and fun times.
ESTAs place a high value on enjoying life, so whatever your financial prospects you will always find the means for recreation. It is no wonder that people genuinely like you and enjoy your company. The challenge for those of you with this personality style is to continually strive to balance your come-what-may open nature with your less-developed organising abilities.
ESTAs are more likely to make decisions based on logic rather than emotion. In other words, you respect rationality and pay close attention to the objective facts of any situation. Your Sensing characteristic makes you a keen observer, and you deal effectively with enormous quantities of data.
Many ESTAs have a lifelong fascination with machines, toys, instruments, tools and other objects you can work with your hands. You are effective at communicating your good-natured realism to others. You have a rare and valuable ability to suggest solutions along with encouraging agreement and compromise.
The entrepreneurial side of life may appeal to an ESTA. You have the ability to be an architect of solutions, and your love of working in a crisis situation can be a real asset in the corporate jungle.
