Character Development Workspace: ON THE BEAT
Naturally curious, practical. Loves variety. Wants in on the action. Probably a former beat reporter. Solves problems via instinct, investigation, observation. Sorts it out easily. Been there, done that. Handles complicated, simultaneous interactions. Absorbs, remembers facts. Observes like a predatory bird, no less active. Handles unplanned situations, organizes on the go. Lives in the practical, real world, not in a land of theories and intangibles and what-ifs. Perceived as unpredictable; sees himself/herself as pillar of reliable thought and action.
ESTJ
Systematic, organized, relies upon facts and policies. Uses resources efficiently. Develops logical conclusions. Concrete, straightforward; requires clear specifications. Expects measurement by fair, explicit standards. Conscientious. Does not bring personal issues into the mix. Realistic. Focuses on concrete results. Enjoys action, and interaction with a variety of personalities. Takes charge easily, a role accepted by others.

ESTP
Spontaneous! Loves to meet up with different people and different ideas every day. Terrific memory, keen powers of observation. Able to see solutions that others miss, first by observing more closely, then by analyzing more completely. Enjoys a good adventure. Keeps eyes open for new ways to have fun and mount challenges. Okay with unplanned, unscheduled, open time, unconventional thinking and never-saw-that-before. Organizes on the fly, not much of a planner. Good brain for reasoning, responds when necessary, as necessary. Relies upon instinct and experience, and if that fails, analysis and clear thinking. Not big on theories. Likes facts and things he/she can touch. Easy going and, when the situation is right, charming, too.
Potential Areas of Conflict
Not a diplomat. Blunt. Gets some people angry. Acts, then thinks—not the other way around. Doesn’t consider other people’s feelings. Selfish. Doesn’t follow through on commitments. Seems too casual, not serious. A bit too unconventional. Not a long-term thinker; drawn to adventure and crazy stuff, so short-term situations may become sticky. Can be a bad influence. Gets people into trouble, but only sometimes. Unreliable. Unpredictable. Irresponsible. Doesn’t do the homework, shows up unprepared because he/she can figure it out on the spot. Relaxed to the point of not caring.
