In their subconscious state, ESTPs demonstrate strengths in visionary insight (Ni), empathetic connection (Fe), logical analysis (Ti), and sensory engagement (Se). These functions complement their dominant traits, providing them with additional tools to anticipate future possibilities, connect deeply with others, analyze situations logically, and fully engage with their environment.

By incorporating behaviors that come naturally to their more intuitive and empathetic counterparts, ESTPs can enhance their subconscious functions. Embracing long-term planning, practicing empathy, engaging in deep analytical thinking, and balancing immediate sensory experiences with future considerations can help ESTPs develop traits that enhance their versatility and adaptability.

Ni (Introverted Intuition):

• What It Does: Sees patterns and underlying meanings, focusing on long-term vision and future possibilities.
• Real-Life Example: To develop this trait, ESTPs can practice strategic thinking and envisioning future outcomes, similar to how INFJs naturally do. Engaging in activities like long-term goal setting, reflective prayer/meditation, and journaling about future aspirations can help ESTPs tap into their intuitive insights and anticipate long-term consequences.

Fe (Extraverted Feeling):

• What It Does: Focuses on understanding and harmonizing with others' emotions and social dynamics, promoting empathy and connection.
• Real-Life Example: ESTPs can enhance this trait by being more aware of and responsive to others' emotions and social dynamics. By practicing empathy and active listening, and engaging in activities like community service or group projects, ESTPs can build stronger connections and understand the emotional needs of those around them, much like INFJs.

Ti (Introverted Thinking):

• What It Does: Engages with the present moment and external environment, appreciating sensory details and immediate experiences.
• Real-Life Example: ESTPs can develop this trait by taking time to analyze situations and problems more deeply. Engaging in activities that require logical reasoning and critical thinking, such as puzzles, strategy games, or learning new skills that require analytical thinking, can help ESTPs strengthen their Ti.

Se (Extraverted Sensing):

• What It Does: Engages with the present moment and external environment, appreciating sensory details and immediate experiences.
• Real-Life Example: Although this is a dominant trait for ESTPs, they can enhance their Se by learning to balance it with their other functions. By practicing mindfulness and being present in the moment, while also considering long-term implications and the feelings of others, ESTPs can create a more balanced and holistic approach to life.
