20 ENTPs and 20 ESTPs go skydiving. How do you tell them apart?

See things in colours sometimes in my head: Estp is dark green and ENTP is a royal purple

Your Estp is constantly looking for opportunity, looking at the most fun angle, and looking for the most fulfilling experience. ESTPs value friendships through social connection and find these relationship to be the essence of their character. Without these people, the estp feels incomplete often. Unlike other fe users, the estp often has a detatched sense from their feeling function however have the ability to gain insight in group dynamics. This detatchment often breeds manipulative behavior without the discreet power to make the operation complete. The estp often will project themselves on to larger bodies in an effort to boost their own image but struggles with observation into other people. This is what creates the disliked effect in which the estp is often unaware of at a conscious level. Subconciously, they try to suppress this. ESTP make excellent athletes, excellent business partners and have an aggressive streak which is valued in other organizations such as military. ESTP struggle with following structure and rules due to an identity conflict. ESTP unlike the ENTP, struggles often with their true ego. ESTP is often the center of attention and has a gravitational force others find attractive. Many see the ESTP as a sense of usually positive energy, thus the ESTP will see this as a form of attraction to them (which it is). Younger ESTP will struggle with loyalty, often having a reoccurring theme in their relationships. Their friendships are usually a wide circle, and to ESTP are fulfilling. ESTP is concerned with texture in paticular, labels, and status. ESTP are also clever despite what may have been written. Often others will underestimate the ESTP. ESTP and ENTP have a selfish streak and often go into denial. When confronted, often will become aggressive. Has a habit of being extremely mean and unkind, while trying to mask it. ESTP are bad at being discreet, view gossip as a bonding experience, and prefer directiveness. This leads into a downward spiral often resulting in an abuse of physical substance for the ESTP like alcohol, sex or drugs. Sexually the ESTP is liberated and views sex as a physical and fun pleasure. The hidden agenda of the estp is to have fun and gain the ultimate experience.

Your ENTP is constantly looking for stimulation, looking at the most curious and unexplored angle, and looking for the most fulfilling conversation. ENTPs value connections as a means of furthering their character and furthering their curiosity. The essence of their character is what they intellectually create and bring to the table. Without some sort of stimulation, the ENTP will often sink into a depression. Similar to the ESTP, the ENTP often has a detached sense from their feeling function however often feel obligated to maintain group dynamics for reasons they usually claim is logical. Often ENTPs will deny their feelings and deny that they prefer when everyone is cooperating. ENTPs like to be viewed as comfortable in chaos often and though often fascinated with organization chaos (politics, war)- find it deeply unsettling. Many ENTPs will often go into these fields in hopes of contributing to a greater cause and hopefully gain credibility. This detatchment often breeds manipulative behavior but unlike the ESTP, the ENTP is often aware how to execute their wants without others noticing. In other words, they're often successful in their manipulation tactics. The ENTP and INFJ dynamic is popular, as INFJs typically see past their antics. ENTPs value originality, value the abstract and have a soft spot for individual thinkers. The ENTP enjoys larger bodies of people but finds little sense of identity within them. They may adopt traits of the group but will never adopt a label of said group (ESTP: I am a pilot vs ENTP: Being a pilot is apart of who I am). Younger ENTPs can be overly opinionated and disliked for this, especially when they are in an academic setting and have not done their research but persist. Often very stubborn, more than the ESTP. ENTP are useful in similar fields the ESTP is in however require stimulation (officer in military). ENTP struggle with following structure and rules often because they question the rules function, purpose, rights and how it impacts x. ENTP can have fluctuating self esteem, especially in the face of work related rejection. ENTP do not care to be center of attention but has a gravitational force others find attractive due to a mysterious and knowledgeable deminaur. ENTP often finds people, especially potential partners, boring. Younger ENTP will struggle with loyalty, often having a reoccurring theme in their relationships however grow into realizing that a mate helps them become their best self; reasons their way into commitment. Their friendships are usually a wide circle but only selected few allowed in. ENTP are concerned with how their appearance reflects the ideas they are giving to others. ENTPs also view clothing as a personal statement and favour toned down, muted shades, particularly brown and navy blue. Some have pops of colour but rarely flashy. ESTP and ENTP have a selfish streak and often go into denial but the ENTP will acknowledge usually faster their wrongdoing, their shadow side but what they choose to do with the information is entirely left to the situation. Sexually the ENTP likes to think of themselves as liberated and views sex as a physical and fun pleasure but has a secret desire to connect to another on a deep emotional level. The hidden agenda of the ENTP is to intellectual contribution towards a positive change
