Myers-Briggs MBTIA type that is awesome.
For you all who criticise ESTJs for being ESTJs, please look up cognitive functions and leave the poor type alone. Learn that all types are inherently equal in terms of potential, and all types can easily be just as unhealthy.
ESTJ are efficient, logical and down to earth. They, like
ISTJ, are often seen by some Intuitive and/or Percieving types as rigid and inflexible, as well as closed minded. However, with their tertiary cognitive function Ne, ESTJ tend to be more flexible and creative when compared to ISxJ types.
ExTJs have dominant Te, and tend to value efficiency and directness, external sources and credible information supported by empirical evidence. However, unlike
ENTJ, ESTJs tend to be a little more past than future oriented, comparing events in the past to current events, and are therefore stereotyped to be more on the
traditionalist side. (Auxilliary Si).
Along with
ESFJ, ESTJ are commonly associated with the 'speak to the manager' Karen. In reality, any type has the potential to be a Karen. ESTJ may also be associated with Karens for their outspokenness, emphasis on efficiency, and stereotypical tendency to shout at people. (A stereotypical example would be the ESTJ! Frank James in his 16personalities skits.)
ESTJs are often criticised in the MBTI community, due to MBTI being attractive to types that generally do not sit well with them, hence its
general negative connotation.
Person 1: An old
friend of mine was an ESTJ. She was efficient, intelligent and direct. She always knew the kinds of things that would help. She was a cool person, but passed away last week.
Person 2: I bet she sucked!
Booo!
Booooo!
