Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® Famous ESTP Celebrity Personality Type Donald Trump

One Myers-Briggs® Celebrity ESTP Personality Type is businessman, investor, and television personality, Donald Trump.

By examining the life and career of Donald Trump, we can see his Myers-Briggs Test ESTP Personality Type in action.

ESTP Personality Types are known for their Sensing preference, which often manifests itself in the individual’s interest in everything around them. They are also known for learning best by doing. This leads ESTP Type individuals to plunge into things and trust in their ability to respond appropriately. (Myers, CPP. 1998)

True to his type, Donald Trump likes to have a hand in just about everything. Not only is he a successful businessman and investor, but is also an author and TV personality on his successful television show The Apprentice. He even explored the idea of becoming a presidential candidate in the 2012 election, although he decided against the endeavor in the end.

ESTP Personality Types are also associated with processing information using their Thinking preference. This means that ESTP Types make decisions mainly by logical analysis and reasoning. (Myers, CPP. 1998)

Donald Trump’s entire business career is centered on logical analysis and reasoning, which has helped him a great deal with his real-estate ventures. This is further personified in a greater-than-life way on his show, The Apprentice, where he famously “fires” candidates based on performance analysis. It has also been said that his extremely logical outlook has spilled over to his personal life, where his work has been noted to take precedent over family and has contributed to his multiple failed marriages.

ESTP Personality Types are also known for being flexible, adventurous, and risk taking. (Myers, CPP. 1998)

Donald Trump has never been one to shy away from financial risks. Although he is currently in extremely good financial standings, his real-estate ventures had over-stretched his financial means at one point, and by the late ‘80s and early ‘90s, he was near personal bankruptcy.  This did not stop Donald Trump from taking business risks, and his ventures ended up paying off.  Most recently, his net worth has been listed at over $3 billion.
