ESTJ - Myers Briggs Personality Type

>> Home / MBTI / The 8 Preferences / The 16 Types / ESTJ

Implementor Supervisor: ESTJ

How Others May See Them
Because they naturally devise systems, procedures, and schedules, others rely on ESTJ s to take charge and get things done. Others may also find them overpowering at times because ESTJ s are so certain about how things should be. Because they are clear and straightforward in their communication, people seldom have to wonder where they stand.

Career Trends
Occupations that appeal to ESTJ s cover a wide variety of fields, including technical fields, production, agriculture, and business. A common theme, regardless of the particular field, is that they are attracted to positions of authority such as executives, managers, and supervisors, and, in the field of law, as judges, where they can make logical decisions based on fact.

Dealing with Change
ESTJ s are logical, orderly and decisive. They readily create or support structures, schedules and systems to achieve the tasks required of them and will, if allowed, do the same for others.

Changing environments stimulate ESTJ s to create a new order and system. They strongly dislike inefficiency and waste, and they will focus on organizing people and other resources as quickly as possible. They are good at including necessary details and at dealing with practical and realistic problems. ESTJ s are orientated toward quick action and bottom-line results.

ESTJ s make up 8.7% of the population
