Talk:ESTP

Type Descriptions
I just deleted the descriptions on all of these personality types. A lot of them were copyvios from different sources, several of them being from http://www.geocities.com/lifexplore/, where they may or may not have been copied from other locations. Nonetheless, the three theories of MBTI, Keirsey Temperaments, and Socionics are quite different and require different descriptions of types, functions, relations, and other concepts. Socionics especially differs from the other two. The three theories should all be expanded upon in Wikipedia, but it is impossible to do this while there is a conglomeration of these three theories and they are treated as one and the same.

Removed text
This page was awful - much text looked like it was directly copied from another site. For example:


 * "If you are "down", "out", or "on the way there", you are in need of the companionship of an ESTP.   If you really want to be cheered, you won't be "down" for long.  Outgoing, witty, charming and cheerful - these are the hallmarks of the ESTP.  Extremely close behind are the characteristics of generosity and fun-loving.  When they walk into a room, the sun begins to shine!"

I've removed the entire block of text from that section - I think it would be better to rewrite from scratch. If you feel there is anything worth salvaging (unlikely though that is), my edit is here. Cormaggio is learning 11:44, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

Templates
I created templates for text that's the same across all 16 type articles to eliminate the hours of work it takes to update the same text 16 times. This is a recommended use for templates according to Wikipedia policy WM:TEMP.

To edit the templates: 1. Click the Edit link on the section of the article you want to change. 2. Select and copy the title of the template page (the text between the double braces). 3. Paste the copied text into the Wikipedia search box and press Go (not Search). This will take you to the template. Make sure that the changes you make to the templates are appropriate for all 16 MBTI type articles! (ENFJ, ISTP, etc.) ThreeOfCups (talk) 03:31, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Spelling of Extraversion
The MBTI, Keirsey Temperament Sorter, and related Jung Typology assessments use the original spelling, Extraversion, rather than the modern corruption, Extroversion. In this context, Extraversion is jargon and should be thus spelled. ThreeOfCups (talk) 15:05, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

Notable ESTPs
Most of the entries in this list are unsourced. If sources aren't provided, they will be removed. ThreeOfCups (talk) 03:26, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

Logo and border color
For a discussion about the logo and border color, see Talk:Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. Please don't make a significant change to the logo or border color without discussing it there first. ThreeOfCups (talk) 19:34, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

Reduce to one article
The other recreational pseudo-psychology systems Socionics and Enneagram of Personality have only a single article. In the meantime it would be beneficial to remove the references of "notable persons of this personality type" seeing as the Myers–Briggs_Type_Indicator is make-believe. 104.228.101.152 (talk) 02:13, 14 November 2018 (UTC)
