1 Personality Types Report Exclusively for Tommy Smith Personality Type: ESTP You described your profile as: Very Accurate Introduction Of the many factors that contribute to a successful education and subsequent career, an understanding of personality type is among the most useful. While interests and skills change during the course of a person's life, the one thing that does remain constant is an individual's personality type the innate way in which each person naturally prefers to see the world and make decisions. All individuals are unique, but people of the same type share large similarities in the kinds of academic subjects and careers they find interesting, and the kind of work they find satisfying. By understanding the role personality type plays, people can gain important insights into their educational, career and relationship needs. And because people of different types often communicate in very different ways, counselors and advisors can learn which strategies work most effectively with each individual student. Understanding you, Tommy People like you are energetic, friendly and easygoing. Usually talkative, and often charming, you meet new people easily and have a lot of friends. Most people think you're funny since you like to joke around and can be quite entertaining. Spontaneous, even impulsive, you prefer to do things instinctively rather than do a lot of planning in advance. You have a real sense of adventure and usually enjoy a wide variety of physical, and sometimes risky, activities. Since you prefer to be active and learn best in a hands-on way, you tend to get bored and distracted when you have to sit still for too long, or when the subject is highly theoretical. You are a realistic, literal and very curious person. Intensely observant, you notice details other people miss. And to be convinced of anything, it must make logical and practical sense to you. You are also casual and playful and rarely take things too seriously, or let other people's opinions influence or hurt your feelings. Since you're so flexible, you have no trouble adapting to change and improvising when necessary. But you tend to resist anyone trying to restrict or control you, and you may have trouble remembering rules, especially those you think are unnecessary. You may also have difficulty respecting and obeying authority figures. Starting new projects is much more fun for you than finishing old ones, so you sometimes neglect to follow through completely with all of your commitments. Your ability to solve problems as they come up often helps you get through awkward situations. A natural nonconformist, you may have to work hard to resist the temptation to play instead of fulfilling your responsibilities. Your natural resilience is a great asset, but it sometimes results in an attitude others see as a lack of genuine caring. Note: Based on our assessment, your personality type is "ESTP."
