ESTJ - Extraverted Sensing Thinking Judging

"Life's Administrators"

Administrator/Directive Monitor/Supervisor (most hard-charging)

13% of the total population. One of the Guardians (SJ). Practical, realistic, matter-of-fact, with a natural head for business or mechananics. Not interested in subjects they see no use for, but can apply themselves when necessary. Like to organize and run activities. May make good administrators, especially if they remember to consider others' feelings and points of view.

Live their outer life more with thinking, inner one more with sensing.

Look at things with their sensing rather than their intuition. Hence are most interested in realities perceived by their five senses, which makes them matter-of-fact, practical, realistic, factually-minded, concerned with here and now. More curious about new things than new ideas. Want ideas, plans and decisions to be based on solid fact.

Solve problems by expertly applying and adapting past experience.

Like work where they can achieve immediate, visual and tangible results. Have a natural bent for business and industry, production and construction. Enjoy administration and getting things organized and done. Do not listen to their own intuition very much, so tend to need an intuitive around to sell them on the value of new ideas.

Much in touch with the external environment. Very responsible. Pillar of strength.
