16 Personalities Through the Eyes of the ESTJ 

I am absolutely fascinated with the idea of an INFP being a cause of existential dread to some types -ENFP

I appreciate the absolute subtleness in Kristin’s personality when she shifts from type to type. The slight change of a smile or a general look in her eye, its amazingly subtle but it creates such an intuitive change! (INFJ)

Two different “Keep up, you’re failing”s have never sounded so different. Also love the nonchalant ISFP here! So spot on.

I love how each type is either a failure, a threat or both in the ESTJ‘s eyes.

Even though I feel bad for the ESTJ feeling like they're failing, I must say Thank you Kristin for pointing out that INFJs aren't "just" people pleasing diplomats/counsellors; we're also pretty smart, and fast learners - especially when our Ni-Ti goes into overdrive. 😅 Normally INTJ is "the smart Ni one" and INFJ is "The sensitive Ni one" in these kinds of videos, so I appreciate that you didn't go for that "low hanging fruit". 😁

Those subtle "you're failing, keep up" make me wanna give ESTJ a hug because that is their constant perception of things making them push themselves too far! 🥺 But then I remember that hugging an ESTJ is probably not the safest decision... Good thing i always do everything wrong! 🤩*hugs ESTJ and waits for chaos* - ISFP

the INFP one is KILLING ME. as an INFP i always feel inferior to ESTJ because they're so attuned to the world and are so efficient at getting things done so seeing the INFP as superior to the ESTJ feels good

So here’s how I think the writing went down: Kristin: What should I do for INFPs? Kristin’s Brother: Ugh, the bane of my existence. Kristin: I can work with that. Seriously though, I wish we could buy those goggles. It would be like intravenous empathy.

0:02 ESFP 0:09 ESTP 0:17 ISTP 0:26 ISFJ 0:30 INTJ 0:43 ESFJ 0:46 ISTJ 0:48 ISFP 0:53 INFJ 1:03 INTP 1:10 INFP 1:21 ENFP 1:37 ENTJ 1:46 ENTP 1:58 ENFJ 2:27 ESTJ

I (INFJ) had an ESTJ boss that lashed out and was constantly frustrated because she felt (and was) unappreciated by the other managers. All I had to do was express appreciation for her efforts and offer sincere commendation and we got along great after that. I also did my job capably and took her advice when it applied. We haven't worked together in years, but still talk. I appreciate types who are easy to read, is my point, I guess 🤣

I LOVE how the INFP is pictured as a supervillan...I'm so tired of INFPS as being portrayed as over emotional.-INFP

My older brother is a overachiever ESTJ and I am ENFP and we do have 5-6 hours long conversations and he had asked me numerous times to teach him my 'skill' about getting information without actually asking for it.. And he 23 years old asked me 19 year old to give him crash course on how to make friends

My mother-in-law is an ESTJ and my father-in-law is an INFP and honestly this skit puts a whole new spin on their bewildering relationship. 😂

as an ISFJ I actually relate to the way how ESTJs see XNFJs. I’m still not over that one INFJ friend I’ve had who constantly told me things/hidden truths about me in such an inconspicuous way that I’m still unpacking some of their words and advices from years ago. I’ll literally experience whatever & suddenly remember something they told me back then that actually explained THIS particular situation AND how I got there. I can’t deal with this magic, it’s following me wherever I go.

Ok, creepy INFP was unexpected. I realized that I can recognize some of the types by the tone of their voice alone, amongst them ISTP, ENFP and ENFJ. INTJ, ISTJ, INTP and some others are close but not distinctive enough for me (at least in this video). Two big questions remain after watching this video: What did the ISFJ actually say? The lip movement doesn't quite fit the societal standards nor the dirty duckies. And where do I find that ice cream machine?

The INFJ made me laugh so hard. Little did the ESTJ know that it’s not about the competition, I just can’t learn about anything without trying to understand it completely. This goes for humans, too. 😶🙂🤪

Your ENFP is always so fun to watch. They get my vote for the next perspective video. Well done, Kristin!

I'm loving the ESTJ ENTP interactions in your recent videos. It's a truly underrated duo. My ESTJ friend and I get along so well when we're working on projects that I was kinda shocked when we figured out that she was an ESTJ lol. They are truly under appreciated in the MBTI community. - ENTP who just wants more ESTJ memes so that I can terrorize the ESTJ's in my life

Dear ESTJ’s- you are not a failure, it’s ok to rest and not run a marathon at 5am. You’re trying your best it’s Ok you’ve got this. Also please don’t yell at me for getting distracted, I am doing everything my way and it will be all good. Oversharing is a social construct and I probably would have over shared as well. The coat thing in the captions is funny though because it’s so true, especially when at school I took someone else’s French book home before, and also handed in my history book to french because they were both blue

OH, man! The little half-hearted, halfcocked smile at the end of the ENTP's little troll is perfection! It's like you've distilled the very instant an ENTP's amusement peaks and simultaneously drops them back into their base state of boredom.

Everything the ENFJ says out loud, the INFJ is thinking but won’t say!

I’m surprised by how good your Bane impression is. Yeah INFP can be scary sometimes, you do something that they think is bad and they’ll take revenge by annoying you in subtle ways, Fi-Ne can be extremely subtle and imaginative when it comes to punishment As an INTP, I’d say I have two modes. First one is to tell it like it is right off the bat, usually solves the problem but sometimes it’s sparks a heated argument. Second mode is do nothing until you can’t take it anymore and then explode in a ball of rage at the person yelling them all the most terrible things you think about them

I love this series. I'm looking forward to when Kristin gets to the INTP.

This IS incredible.. my brain is scrambling trying to find which awesome thing to mention.. sooo .. don't stop!! Thanks 🎄 💙

ESTJ is actually a really cool type, I love how easy it is to read them and I also love how they can defend their points in a conversation when I challenge them

Also it was fun getting to be the evil nemesis!! -INFP

Yes, I love this series, it's so clever! Only 13 more to go, so please cover ENTP or ISTJ next.

These sketches are pure gold. I can't stop rewatching them, I need INTP, ENTP or INFJ next

Finally! "Everything the INTJ said. But! In my 'sweet' voice." Love always, INFJ ♥️ 🧛‍♀️ Thank you for another awesome video Kristin! I put love always because I mean it. - Tauney 💜

I was sweating. Just waiting for the ESTJ's scathing disapproval. But you switched it on me. The INFP's judgment has unexpectedly and righteously been wielded.

As an INFP I never expected to be compared to Bane, but it was my favorite representation of my type yet! 😆

I'm an enfj and find this very accurate. Though I'm not manipulative about it. Generally I just quietly notice underlying issues with people and ask if they'd like my opinion on something they've just said so I know when it's not needed :)

The INTP rants is something I definitely do, when it's a topic that excites me, and people do like to tune me out when they happen. And yes, my dad has told me several things about the towels, how to fold them, and which ones I can use on the dishes, and I remember basically none of that, despite having good memory.

ESTJs are the most down-to-earth no-bs hard-working and capable people I know, much respect

This is a fantastic series. While I understand everything is based on stereotype, and is absolutely hilarious, I've discovered that it sheds tremendous light on how each type is perceived. Very good for introspection.

You’re very right about the ESTJ vs. ENTJ difference…my mom as an ESTJ definitely takes more care than my dad (ENTJ) to not be offensive, and is in better touch with her emotions. 🤣 And LOOOOOOL on the seeing a mistake from the ENTJ a mile away!

Those "keep up... You're being left behind" lines from those types just pierced right through AND left me with dread. This was supposed to be fun right? RIGHT!?

As an ESTJ this video made me very excited :D Now for a structured list of my reactions lol ESFP: Hahaha omg oh no... It's definitely been a thing in my life to learn that not everyone keeps constant track of time like I do so I shouldn't keep my life on hold for people ESTP: At the moment I suspect my dad could be ESTP and yeah boy is he action oriented haha, I've always felt very passive compared to him and like I never get anything done so yes ISTP: Honestly my only reaction here was "Get out", oops ISFJ: I immediately feel inferior INTJ: Just... damn, accurate ESFJ: Genuinely don't know what to say here haha, but kind of adorable ISTJ: This one actually took me by surprise since I'm always so fond of ISTJs, I've never though of it like that before ISFP: ... oh no... ehm, do you need help? INFJ: Wow, was not prepared for that one and omg that kind of hit me right in an insecurity I forgot I had, alrighty, moving on INTP: Hahahahaha oh dear. I will stay for a while though cause I'm sure I will learn something, but also I have a schedule just so you know INFP: Hahaha, omg, honestly kind of accurate. One of my close friends is an INFP and it's so fascinating to observe how fast talking about values and morals drains me even if it's interesting, but she is just flourishing. Baby Fi needs to nap. But I also love seeing her using her baby Te and I just want to like pick it up like a little baby and snuggle it and take care of it ENFP: Low key this scares me because obviously I like to talk and feel special like everyone else, but afterwards I sometimes feel bad that I wasted someone's time like that with nonsense ENTJ: This one actually really hit me because I am so used to MBTI memes and content making me feel like ESTJs are just the inferior and useless version of ENTJs (not your content though I will say) that seeing/hearing this skit just really... made me feel seen and valued specifically as an ESTJ. It made me feel like ESTJ and ENTJ are just two different types with different strengths and weaknesses and none of them is "better" than the other and it's kind of making me emotional and I just want to say thank you so much ENTP: STOP, NO. My best friend is an ENTP and I just... I love him but holy smokes does he also infuriate me at times haha. I have however after like 7 years finally gotten a decent radar on when he is bs:ing or not lol. Most of the time... ENFJ: I immediately feel inferior, again ESTJ: Hahahahaha, 10/10 Amazing work as always, and again thank you so much for not making any types out to be "better" than any others and giving everyone the same love and spotlight

Still can't wait for the ENFJ version.

My empathy for ESTJ has sky rocket now. This videos are fun, but also, they help me become a better person :)

Husband is estj, I am an infp... I think I have found our core issue...

You’re such a amazing creator!! These are so funny and creative and you’re an amazing actor. It also makes me study MBTI more to understand everything and also I see from a different perspective. Thanks!!

I just got berated by my ESTJ sister for not being efficient at using TV remote and you uploaded a video about 16 personalities from the eyes of ESTJs. What a coincidence 😂🙃🤧

" i do everything wrong " 💫 Y E S 💫 Edit: i just pressed the dislike button cause they added fun animation to the like button and i wanted to see what they did to the dislike button. Now I'm in panic cause Kristin received the dislike button feedback 😧

As an INTJ, I think you’re bang on about us not being “sensitive” in regards to thoughts, beliefs, and principles. This may be a misattributed paraphrasing of a Mark Twain quote, but one must re-evaluate their stance should he find himself in agreement with the majority. I can easily say I do not align with the majority on a great many issues, but popularity is not an indication of correctness. A good read on this I would recommend to everyone is Plato’s Socratic dialogue “Gorgias”. It truly pushes home how just effective rhetoric can be, in influencing the minds of people. In terms of principles, it is 100% better to be right than to be liked, but in life one should be pragmatic about how to achieve one’s goals. If I simply shared my true thoughts and opinions on everything verbally and publicly, there would be outrage, and most people would no longer wish to associate with me, I likely would no longer be able to volunteer where I volunteer, and I may be terminated from my university. I do not hold extreme views, simply ones that go against what is currently popular and accepted, what is in opposition to the current government of my region and country. But the winds of popularity are a fickle thing. That does not mean I lie to others, I simply do not share, instead listening, learning what I can from others more willing to speak, building a rapport with them based on this information, developing a useful relationship I may be able to leverage in the future. Even if I completely disagree with a person, I can get along with them perfectly fine, and genuinely like them. If they simply assume we agree on things, then that suits me just fine. There’s no need to indicate to them otherwise, and threaten a useful relationship. This may sound cold and utilitarian, and I can see how, but I am not a utilitarian. I think there is such a thing as good and evil, as well as a neutral a category that many things fall under. Regardless of justification, an evil act is evil. It does not take courage to support evil when it is popular and encouraged. It does take courage to oppose evil in such a case, but it is better to take the time to actually make a difference, and improve the world, then to simply sacrifice oneself, ones reputation, ones ability to get a job, in a brave but futile attempt, leaving no meaningful change.

Love it! Just when the INFP couldn't get weirder haha. It makes sense given ESTJ is our opposite that must be how we appear!

I love how I can immediately tell who the ENFP is... 😂

Finally I have Batman's status of Having Figured out all personalities's viewpoints ...~INTJ😏

The main thing I like about ESTJs is that they challenge me to keep up. But this video makes me want to go out to my ESTJs and reassure them that they're the most capable people in my life and thus prevent them from succumbing to darkness. dear kristin out here inspiring empathy and compassion in others.

This was fantastic. I eagerly await these videos now. Also, high marks for becoming Bane.

You really outdone yourself with this one. The ISFP one is EXACTLY how my mum views me in relation to Te, the ENTJ clashing over methods is like my mum and brother's relation and the INFP voice sent me 😂

kristin, that lipstick you're wearing in half of them is SO gorgeous!!

Another quote for the infp section of the video: “Congratulations on your one existential crisis. I have 70, each one greater than the last.” -Dwight Schrute

I think the only ESTJ I have known is one of my professors in university and she adored me because I was always focused in the class, paying attention, doing the homework, always on time and she was impressed of how I remember every little detail even if she is still "teasing me" about it in a very ESTJ way (she literally calls me "little nerd"). She was the person that you are scared to cross but there is nothing to fear except of her attitude if you are a "good kid" that does the homework and follows the rules. (ISFJ)

I was so excited for the infp and YOU DID NOT DISAPPOINT

YOU are leveling up! Amazing 😍

Sheer brilliance, Kristin ! Mad respect to your team! I feel a bit sad for the ESTJ if they really feel like they're always falling behind somehow.

ENFP was spot on. I made my ESTJ uncle feel very important and knew how get him to talk forever. Unfortunately I will never talk to him again because he threw out my mother out on the street, tried to blackmail her, and stole her stuff then tried to replace her with me as my grandmother's caretaker because he believed he could better control me. I know if I talk to him again my compassionate side will just kick in and I can't let him keep hurting my family members.

Am an INFJ and my favourite cousin/former roommate is an ESTJ. And this made me laugh so much, since she started coming home and debriefing her day with me an hour every night, and I would tell her what is likely going on in her vast social group. Also could accurately predict what her boyfriends and crushes were thinking by just watching them for an evening. I don't think she saw it as a competition, since she taught me how to keep house efficiently and laundry done at the same time.

You pulled in functions third in the stack in types for some of these, and its brilliant!

I love these “through the eyes of” type videos. I think it would be cool if the other MBTI content creators explored this as well. And additionally it’s an idea that can be used for up to 16 potential videos.

I feel amused, yet oddly intimidated.

Love this series!!! I can’t wait to see all of the types through all of the types’ eyes, and continually muse about whether I’ve typed myself properly. 😅

We all get happy whenever you upload a new video. Thank you. Keep it up, from a fellow Aussie :))

Kristin is awsome, I love it!

Don’t worry ESTJs I’m also failing 👍 (I love your videos Kristin, they’re so funny! :)) - ISTJ

INFP: I'm lazy, my productivity is inhibited by my values, and I take it personally when you cut my hours or demote me. Any attempts at emotionally manipulating me just end in total disaster when I have an existential crisis and cry in front of customers. I take way too many sick days. Please show me unconditional approval anyway. - INFP with a dark past working retail in college

This is hilarious! Love it! Thanks for making this video. 🙏💪

It's interesting how the types view people: the INTJ views them in terms of rationality, the INFP views them in terms of their value systems, and the ESTJ views them in terms of how much they're doing as compared to the other type. 😀 Also, I think because I'm Intuitive, I use the UK subtitles because I love the subtext more 🤔 I had to use the (uncomfortably shifts) English subtitles to understand what the Sensor was perceiving.

INFP here, recognised myself instantly. People reproach me for forcing them to adopt my values, but I never force anyone. I just live them and talk about what's important to me. And hope for a societal change, of course. But I never judge people for being born in the society they were born in.

haha wow didn't expect this type would come but well done Kristinnn :D YES, my dad is an ESTJ, my mum is ISFP, me as ISTJ who's working in his company, my young bro ESTP (well my bro get up early to go to school so that counts :). Yes I use Te, but sometimes in the past it wasn't not really healthy and became bossy and I got reminded to use it well - by him, a Te dom :) And he himself said "I'm the person of (multiple) systems" - and sometimes when at peak time, he drives 5-6 projects at once in the company wow :) Well, I'm on my way to Te well :) And the ISTP - the most popular type in my major/the company who constantly use their Ti-Se to practically solve most of technical problems, yes, we xSTJs envy you :)

o.m.g you girl are a FREAGING GENIUS! your acting skills! absolutely mind-blowing! every type was spot on! I swear I have been imagining how you would make such a good actress the whole video if ever put in a movie or a tv series! what can I say, keep up the amazing work! also, love fellow ESTJs the most real people you would ever meet! even though they can be intimidating af XD but I guess that's part of their charm!

The INFP was brilliant in this! 😆 So that's the key of ESTJ's success...by feeling threatened by everyone

You have the best community here Kristen!

You're such an amazing actress!! Your vids are always excellent but here, just wow!! The nuance in every type! :O

*Ideas for Types through INTP lens:* *ESFP:* You think I talk too much, but I boost your ego by calling you smart - sadly, you don't know how to respond to compliments and fall in an existential crisis every time. *ENFP:* I somehow forget everything you say to me in a day, but remember times you "overspoke" for years to come. *INTJ:* On the [gives exact date, with time and DMY order], you spoke to yourself in Klingon about the [obscure nerd book] you were reading, I replied back in Klingon, and a friendship was formed. You like me as I respect your boundaries, and share the same niche interests - but you fear I may betray you when the revolution comes. *INFJ:* You like me as a friend, but you stay away from me, so I can stop talking about astrology. *INFP:* You wonder how I am more Introverted than you, and fall in an existential crisis when near me. *ESTJ:* If we spoke, we'll find a lot in common. For now, our contrasting views lead us to debate or argument. *ISTJ:* You believe you were as organised as me, when you were 8; now you are a disappointment. *ENTP:* I am you after a few shots of hard liquor. *ESTP:* You like me, because I credited you for a joke I made after you said too quietly for anyone to hear. But besides that, you see me as a cliché athlete bully and believe I'll end up in jail. *ENTJ:* You see me as a great leader, but I am too scary and argumentative to approach. I'm not sure about the other types. Also feel free to ignore my comment, I just wanted to share my ideas :)

As the ENTJ son of an ESTJ…this strikes at the heart of what I’ve experienced my whole life

The entjs view on enfj is how I(isfj) see my brother (enfj), he fits in all the social activities, but he often talks about things that he know nothing about with full confidence and that infuriates me 😅 . He seems to understand everyone , and is very accepting , and i have tried many times to understand him , but its very hard 😑 .

Great format.

Brilliant work. I did not know that ESTJs saw INTJs that way, but, from this video, I can definitely see how they would draw that conclusion. INTJs are Fe blind, and ESTJs are not (though Fe is at the very bottom of their cognitive function stack in the 8 function model). And, do ESTJs notice the subtle signs of emotions in others? I noticed that the ESTJ seemed very focused on competence and incompetence, both in himself or herself and in others. I have yet to determine the exact cause of this focus, but I suspect that it either involves having Te specifically as a strength (or a dominant function specifically) or having an extroverted judging function as a strength (or specifically as a dominant function). Let's unpack this. Keep up the (educational) entertaining videos, Kristin. I very much enjoy the series on getting into people's heads... and those UK subtitles.

Love the series, waiting for more 👍

Yes I was waiting for this XD The acting on the ENTP is amazing, that little smile at the end was 🤌 Also why did INFP remind me of Daniel Thrasher 😅

As an ENFJ who is endeared by many ESTJs including my ESTJ father, i was reeeeeally looking forward to this video. Did not disappoint!

I like the subtle yet profound difference between how an INTJ and an INFJ say "You're failing".

i was not expecting that level of ego-crushing insecurity! this had more trauma than the INFP video.

I love this seriesss 😂❤️

My brother is an ESTJ, so thanks for giving me a sneak peek into his mind. 😉

Humble brag: Your Bane voice was so good I knew what it was *before* the joke subtitles pointed it out! :D New video suggestion idea: 16 personalities as Batman characters! Also, this video helped me realize my brother is an ESFP. When he wants to hang out that instant, we will, but whenever he tells me he wants to hang out at a certain time, I can guarantee that it will not happen. :) (I should be clear here that I love my brother to death, and I am trying to help them with this and he is getting better)

That bane impression was amazing!

Im an entj woman married to an estj man. He does not have an original bone in his body and cares too much about what other think and keeping up with the Jones. I may mess up more times than him but I am the one who comes up with cool new things to do, eat, decorate etc and new ways to do thing. He thinks he is always right and can "see me messing up a mile away" except when I try something new and creative and it works! He can also be boring. Thanks God he is sexy! 😂. This was GREAT! Please do one with ENTJs! BTW all "s" drive us crazy!!! 🤣

As an INFJ my best friend who is an ISTJ introduced me to the 16 personalities test last year and then fast forward a few months I started teaching her about cognitive functions and gave her quite a heart attack

The dishes are soaking, okay? They're _soaking._

I LOVE this series

The ENFP one suddenly explained to me the relationship between my parents (ESTJ dad, ENFP mom) Oh boy

Yay!!! LOVE these!!!!! ❤️

You are always amazing kirstan love you and love your videos

INFP one was really good acting, wow

Well, it IS true that appearing outwardly cold is better than succumbing to moral relativism... --INTJ

The infp was genius. I laughed out loud

Yes!! I love the pov videos
