- - continue from “functional analysis”
If your job has rules, do not even think about breaking the rules.
- ESTJs are content to enforce "the rules," often dictated by tradition or handed down from a higher
authority.
- They honor traditions and laws, and have a clear set of standards and beliefs.
When communicating with an ESTJ, speak in terms of the 5 senses, and limit your input to mainly
facts. And have lots of details ready in case they ask for them.
- ESTJs take things in via their five senses in a literal, concrete fashion.
- ESTJs live in a world of facts and concrete needs.
- Yes, the ESTJ needs to watch out for the tendency to be too rigid, and to become overly detail-oriented.
But if they are your boss, you can’t really control this and you’re just going to have to give them the
detailed information they want.
You must make things seem to them as if things are under control and that you have the situation
handled. They do not like chaos.
- They live with their eye constantly scanning their personal environment to make sure that everything is
running smoothly and systematically.
- ESTJs thrive on order and continuity.
When you work with them, always put your best foot forward if you want them to respect you. And
don’t be surprised if they are overly critical.
- They value competence and efficiency, and like to see quick results for their efforts.
- They can sometimes be very demanding and critical, because they have such strongly held beliefs, and
are likely to express themselves without reserve if they feel someone isn’t meeting their standards.
- But at least their expressions can be taken at face-value, because the ESTJ is extremely straight-foward
and honest.
ESTJs promote the work ethic. Power, position and prestige should be worked for and earned. Laziness
is rarely viewed with ambivalence nor benevolence by this type.
“Some men can make decisions and some cannot. Some men fret and delay under criticism. I used to
have a saying that applies here, and I note that some people have picked it up.” --Harry S. Truman, Mr.
Citizen, "If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen."
THE ESTJ WORKER (when you are the boss of an ESTJ)
If you are their boss, put them in charge of your projects.
- ESTJs are extremely talented at devising systems and plans of action, and at being able to see what
steps need to be taken to complete a specific task.
- The ESTJ puts forth a lot of effort in almost everything that they do.
- They will do everything that they think should be done in their job and community with a good amount of
energy.
- The ESTJ will dutifully do everything that is important to work towards a particular cause or goal
Do not talk about the future with an ESTJ. Either talk about the present or the past. They are not
future oriented.
- They live in the present.
Don’t expect self reflection. For the ESTJ, their primary mode of living is focused externally
If you have to have small talk with them, talk about topics related to traditions, laws, and their
beliefs (not necessarily yours).
They honor traditions and laws, and have a clear set of standards and beliefs.
Do not confide in them if you’ve broken a rule. They will not have sympathy for someone who
doesn’t follow the rules.
- ESTJs are content to enforce "the rules," often dictated by tradition or handed down from a higher
authority.
- They honor traditions and laws, and have a clear set of standards and beliefs.
- They expect the same of others, and have no patience or understanding of individuals who do not value
these systems.
Do not talk to their emotional side, or talk to them about your feelings. Talk to them without letting
emotions dictate the conversation.
- ESTJs deal with things rationally and logically.
- It is true that if they neglect their Feeling side, they may have a problem with fulfilling other’s needs for
intimacy, and may unknowingly hurt people’s feelings by applying logic and reason to situations which
demand more emotional sensitivity. Don’t expect sensitivity or understanding from an ESTJ. Just get the
work done and act in a logical manner.
If they are your equal, let them take the leadership role.
ESTJs are take-charge people. They have such a clear vision of the way that things should be, that they
naturally step into leadership roles.
If you are at a party with an ESTJ, know that you will have some fun
- ESTJs enjoy interacting with people, and like to have fun.
- ESTJs can be very boisterous and fun at social events, especially activities which are focused on the
family, community, or work.
