1. "ESTPs are spontaneous, active folks. Like the other SPs, ESTPs get great satisfaction from acting on their impulses. Activities involving great power, speed, thrill and risk are attractive to the ESTP. Chronic stifling of these impulses makes the ESTP feel 'dead inside.'"
- Although I am not spontaneous, I do enjoy being in a position of leadership or one with power. I find speed, thrill and risk to be incredibly attractive.
2. "Gamesmanship is the calling card of the ESTP. Persons of this type have a natural drive to best the competition. Some of the most successful salespersons are ESTPs. P.T. Barnum ("Never give a sucker an even break") illustrates the unscrupulous contingent of this type."
- I am super competitive in everything I do. Whether it be on the field, in class, or competing for food around the house. My competitive spirit is evident in every aspect of my life.
3. "Almost unconsciously ESTPs look for nonverbal, nearly subliminal cues as to what makes their quarry "tick". Once they know, they wait for just the right time to trump the unsuspecting victim's ace and glory in their conquest. Oddly enough, ESTPs seem to admire and respect anyone who can beat them at their own game."
- I love to be the best at everything I do, but in those rare cases when others are better than me, I give credit where credit is due.
4. "If I was any better, I couldn't stand it!" To an ESTP, admission of weakness feels like failure. He admires strength in himself and in others.
- I am my biggest critic. Admitting weakness, in my opinion, is equivalent to having ones eyes gouged out with a rusty spork. I like to play off of others strengths and ignore their weaknesses.
5. "'Shock effect' is a favored technique of this type to get the attention of his audience. ESTPs love to be at center stage, demonstrating feats of wonder and daring."
- I absolutely hate to be the center of attention. A large audience is my number one opponent. In a smaller group setting however, I do like to "demonstrate feats of wonder and daring."

Jack takes on the role of a "big brother" in many ways. For example, no matter how many times one does wrong to him he extents grace and forgiveness, hence his loyalty. He will stick by the side of his brothers, teammates, and friends despite what he might get in return. This loyalty turns into something called selflessness. He is willing to risk it all for the ones he loves, whether it be devoting his time, devoting his energy, and/or devoting his money. Jack is protective; he guards the hearts of the ones he loves. He would rather see himself fail and choke up his pride than let one of his brothers, friends, or teammates take the "hit" in a sense. Ironic because as a quarterback most of time times he is being protected. However, if he doesn't make the right decision he takes personal fault whether it be in the game, at school, or in the mists of his very busy life. Jack is loving; he chooses his friends wisely for a reason. Why is he very cautious while choosing friends? I think it's because his loyalty and protectiveness supersedes that of just a friends. He has a select set of friends who he pours himself into, just as he treats his family. He loves them with every fiber of his being, not to mention he loves without expecting return. Hardworking is also a word that helps explain the character of Jack. He doesn't quit on anything or anyone. Whether that be staying up till all hours of the night studying for a quiz in his AP Calc class, lifting weights like he's some kind of bodybuilder in hopes it will help him in three months; or not leaving a fight unresolved because he knows relationships and friendships take a lot of "hard work". That runs into my next point; Jack is diligent. Give him a task and he will accomplish it. He's not afraid of a little work... or a lot of work. He wants to fix things. Whether it be the broken cupboard in the kitchen, a water logged cell phone, or a math problem most people would never try to solve without a calculator; he is your guy. He is diligent. Diligence is defined by: having or showing care and conscientiousness in one's work or duties. He cares. Jack cares about the little things because to him they are the big things. This small composition... in comparison to the character of Jack, are just some of the reasons people are drawn to him. He is influential. He is an example. Jack recognizes these things and he carries himself knowing he is an influence and an example to all he comes in contact with. That is why he is leading Seattle Christian School. He is a true testament to a man of God; everyone's who who comes 5 feet from him knows that. Anyone would be lucky to stumble across this man, myself included.
