I can tell you the differences between two men -- an ISTp friend of mine and a former ESTp work colleague.
The ESTp was more of a people's person, outgoing, far more interested in physical activities, with a stronger bent towards vulgarity.
The ISTp is more intellectual, reserved, less obviously physical.
Both are seen as arrogant, but while the ESTp is seen as a guy who obviously steps on others' toes in order to get his way, the ISTp's perceived arrogance is more of a know-it-all nature and stand-offishness.
The ESTp seemed to think, "I'm so great"; the ISTp, "why doesn't everybody recognize I'm great"?
I'm giving the example of two individuals, I hope it helps.
I get along fine with the ISTp; the ESTp was too much of a back-stabber.

But really, I don't see the big deal in being talkative and nice around a group of friends or in a class or something.



subtype have that sleazy little grin. This kid in my psychology class is that type of ESTP and he jokes the whole time. This girl screamed and ran away from her chair because she was afraid of a bee and the estp said: I'm flattered you came to me, really.
