Another small sample that produces risky generalizations.
One very interesting results: none (0) of the sample voted Day Hiking as #1 favorite activity; for all other types except ISTP, it was the listed most often as the most favorite. My guess is Day Hiking just isn't "active" enough for many ESTPs.
Overall, they showed a fairly strong interest in both overnight backpacking and overnight canoe tripping. Outdoor interests of ESTPs tended to be more broadly distributed than other types.
As with ENTPs, ESTPs show a wide variety of other active outdoor interests: mountain biking, rock climbing, fishing, hunting, skiing, sailing, scuba diving, swimming, snow tubing, mountain climbing, camping, motorcycling, and road biking were among those listed. Two people listed "rollerblading" with one saying her rollerblades were essential luggage! One mentioned "trail riding" which I think may be ATVs.
ESTPs are supposed to be the quintessential outdoor fun types. Rollerblading fits this stereotype. I am also surprised we didn't see "Sky Diving" mentioned because that's another one that fits. Perhaps one reason our sample is small is because this type would rather be outside engaging in sports than inside surfing on a computer!
