=============================================================================
Extraverted Sensing Thinking Judging
by Joe Butt (jabutt@sacam.oren.ortn.edu)
"Every right-minded man has a philosophy of life, whether he knows it or
not. Hidden away in his mind are certain governing principles, whether he
formulates them in words or not, which govern his life. Surely his ideal
ought to be to contribute all that he can, however little it may be,
whether of money or service, to human progress."
--John D. Rockefeller, _Random Reminiscences of Men and Events_
ESTJs thrive on order and continuity. Being extraverted, their focus
involves organization of people, which translates into supervision. While
ENTJs enjoy organizing and mobilizing people according to their own theories
and tactically based agendas, ESTJs are content to enforce "the rules,"
often dictated by tradition or handed down from a higher authority.
ESTJs are joiners. They seek out like-minded companions in clubs, civic
groups, churches and other service organizations. The need for belonging is
woven into the fiber of SJs. The family likewise is a central focus for
ESTJs, and attendance at such events as weddings, funerals and family
reunions is obligatory.
Tradition is important to the ESTJ. Holidays, birthdays and other annual
celebrations are remembered and observed often religiously by this type. The
ESTJ is inclined to seek out his roots, to trace the family heritage back to
honored ancestors both for a sense of family respectability and for a sense
of security and belonging.
Service, the tangible expression of responsibility, is another key focus for
ESTJs. They love to provide and to receive good service. The ESTJ merchant
who provides dependable service has done much to enhance her self image.
ESTJs have an acute sense of orthodoxy. Much of their evaluation of
persons and activities reflects their strong sense of what is 'normal' and
what isn't. ESTJ humor is frequently centered around something or someone
being off center or behaving abnormally.
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 [referring to 'If you can't stand the heat, get out
of the kitchen.']." (Truman, Harry S. _Mr. Citizen_)
The ESTJ is outspoken, a person of principles, which are readily expressed.
The ESTJ is not afraid to stand up for what she believes is right even in the
face of overwhelming odds. ESTJs are able to make the tough calls.
Occupations attracting ESTJs include teaching, banking, political office,
and management at all levels.
