omgosh, very true! O.O

Portrait of an ESTJ - Extraverted Sensing Thinking Judging(Extraverted Thinking with Introverted Sensing)

The Guardian
As an ESTJ, your primary mode of living is focused externally, where you deal with things rationally and logically. Your secondary mode is internal, where you take things in via your five senses in a literal, concrete fashion.

ESTJs live in a world of facts and concrete needs. They live in the present, with their eye constantly scanning their personal environment to make sure that everything is running smoothly and systematically. 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. They value competence and efficiency, and like to see quick results for their efforts.

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. They are self-confident and aggressive. They are extremely talented at devising systems and plans for action, and at being able to see what steps need to be taken to complete a specific task. 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-forward and honest.

The ESTJ is usually a model citizen, and pillar of the community. He or she takes their commitments seriously, and follows their own standards of "good citizenship" to the letter. ESTJ enjoys interacting with people, and likes to have fun. ESTJs can be very boisterous and fun at social events, especially activities which are focused on the family, community, or work.

The ESTJ needs to watch out for the tendency to be too rigid, and to become overly detail-oriented. Since they put a lot of weight in their own beliefs, it's important that they remember to value other people's input and opinions. 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.

When bogged down by stress, an ESTJ often feels isolated from others. They feel as if they are misunderstood and undervalued, and that their efforts are taken for granted. Although normally the ESTJ is very verbal and doesn't have any problem expressing themself, when under stress they have a hard time putting their feelings into words and communicating them to others.
ESTJs value security and social order above all else, and feel obligated to do all that they can to enhance and promote these goals. They will mow the lawn, vote, join the PTA, attend home owners association meetings, and generally do anything that they can to promote personal and social security.

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, marriage, and community with a good amount of energy. He or she is conscientious, practical, realistic, and dependable. While the ESTJ will dutifully do everything that is important to work towards a particular cause or goal, they might not naturally see or value the importance of goals which are outside of their practical scope. However, if the ESTJ is able to see the relevance of such goals to practical concerns, you can bet that they'll put every effort into understanding them and incorporating them into their quest for clarity and security.

ESTJ.. i'm proud to be one.. somewhere in between my parents. my dad is an ISTJ and my mum's an ESFJ. which means i've got my dad's coldness and my mum's extroversion. which befits me perfectly :) my dad insists that i'm an ISTJ, just like him. but nobody else who knows me at least slightly better will agree that i'm introverted :D (ok maybe they used to, but not anymore muahahaha.)

actually there are not that many ESTJs around, especially female ones. they say ESTJ is the most masculine of all the personality types. i once read somewhere that while the female ESTJ is satisfied with her feminity, she's quite 'manly' in the way she does things. as a child growing up, she would often be told 'little girls don't do things this way'. as a working woman, she will be the mst career-oriented among all personality types:) yayness. which means my career would be quite ok i guess xD haha jkjk.

the strengths and the weaknesses of an ESTJ are omgosh.. scarily accurate for me leh!! like, they say an ESTJ may be too rigid, coz of their strongheadedness. a lot of times, ppl think i'm very strongheaded and stubborn. although i don't know why coz i always have this impression that i don't have enough strength of mind.

another thing is, the ESTJ, while extroverted, is very uncomfortable sharing his/her innermost thoughts. like me.. whenever i feel emo, i will just bottle everything inside coz don't feel comfortable telling others how i feel mah. a lot of ppl of other personality types tell me that this isn't healthy, but o well, it's just me LOL. :D yeah, we ESTJs are extroverted and like mixing with ppl, but we are just uncomfortable in sharing private stuff. it sounds contradicting, but it's true wow!

at first, i was wondering what careers would be suitable for an ESTJ. but in practically every website i've been to, they say tt suitable careers include: judge/lawyer, business manager, military officer O.O and teacher. of course, i can't eveer envision myself being a teacher (my grandparents keep talking about me becoming a piano teacher next time -.- ) but yes, i want to be a lawyer, and yay my personality is compatible!! proves that i know myself. haha.

a lot of ppl ask why don't i want to become a journalist/writer/pianist or something of that sort. i dunno.. i just don't think i have the personality for it. no patience, no passion (ok, i quite like piano, but i don't wanna turn professional) and no creativity. maybe this explains why i just cannot do creative writing. haha.

been slacking the whole morning, coz today is speech day. funny why practically nobody is online. don't tell me they're all involved in speech day stuffs? or all went out is it? this is super weird can. haha. i feel like talking on msn to ppl, but the thing is, they're all not onliene =.=

shall go make better use of my life now!


bye for now! :)
