How to Spot an ESTJ in 2 Minutes... 

You know you’re a ESTJ when you watch this video first because it’s the shortest

"while an entj will keep the ship towards the right destination, the estj will make sure the ship is kept afloat" damn! that sums a lot of difference in terms of our leadership style. my dad is an estj while im an entj.. this is so true.. he is soo productive and always acting but doesnt rlly have a bigger picture goal.

Definitely and under-rated type in the MBTi community. This type will give themselves completely to help others. They may be a bit bossy at times but their hearts will always be in the right place

ESTJs are one of the best to rely on... They're not afraid of calling you out for your own good, pushing others to their best potential. A healthy developed Te is invaluable

INFP here - it took me a long time to appreciate ESTJs and warm up to them. Now I feel a sort of a warm empathy towards them, realizing that there’s a pure goodness to their values, even if their execution can seem ruthless and superficial at first. I think of Dwight from the office as an archetypal ESTJ and I almost cried when he left the company because in his eyes he compromised his principles by covering for Angela. And then a few days in, people realize the office plants were dying, because it was Dwight who had been taking care of them all along without anyone noticing.

I was raised by my Papa, an estj Colonel, masters degree, farmer, total man of his word. A man of service, he went to HVAC school when he retired so he could repair and service systems for people who couldn’t afford it. And probably the only person I’ve ever met with a stable and consistent personality in public and private life. Solid inner compass ❤️ As an istj, I quietly snuck into the kitchen to grab my coffee when he wasn’t looking. I needed quiet space to awaken and he always hit the ground running! 🤣 EXCEPTIONAL PROVIDER!

As an ISFJ, I greatly admire my ESTJ father-in-law. He is always on the move, making sure everyone is taken care of, but not particularly demonstrative in his love, besides his actions. I appreciate his predictability, and his attention to minute, practical details, and I always got the sense that he appreciates my reliability, organization, and memory. Must be our mutual Si. I think mature, well-rounded ESTJs are lovely people, and not at all deserving of their bad stereotypes.

its great to finally find a channel that does MBTI personalities in depth. i think I will give this a like and a sub to the channel

"Efficiently directionless" is a great way of putting it

I have an ESTJ friend who just graduated from high school (I’m a year up from him) and he’s going to school to become a composer. This past year he got 1st at state on the flute! If you could only hear how fast he played you’d be amazed haha

My daughter is an ESTJ. She has to-do lists, her bag is always ready for school and homework needs no prompting.

Me, an INFP, every time I meet an ESTJ: 👁️👄👁️ Who is this divine being who has mastered the secret to living as a mortal?

They sound like the perfect life coaches to help one achieve your dreams :D they really got their stuff together I think thats really so admirable :D

I’m an INFJ and I love ESTJs. Almost all my favorite characters are ESTJs 😅

I am an ESTJ mistyped as an ISTJ. Thanks for this 😄

I work at Costco in a sales department. At night we have to detail the "non foods" side. I have done this alone for well over five years. More recently I have moved up in seniority and others have taken over the task. Occasionally I have to close but I hear bad things about the closers that took over. I take this to my immediate supervisor and ask that I am not mentioned. I work like a machine getting my work done! Others.. don't! It is a balance of social and work ethic. One night I left an hour earlier than the two other closers. I went to one of them saying "I will do (insert task) before I leave and pull some boxes." Also "oh, I have a flat up in an aisle. Most of the work there is done for you. Sorry I couldn't take it back. At least you have the flat to load more boxes onto!" When walking down the aisle to move towards clocking out.. the two girls are zoning the aisles. I had to keep my mouth shut! So much I could have said to help them do better.. yet I am only a coworker. The two of them .. body language .. and one saying "oh, don't worry about it Michelle.. we got this" in a VERY casual way had me worried! Part of the tone was quite "sweetly condescending" towards me! I have a STRONG work ethic! I don't want to say that they don't.. but they have never quite learned to properly do the job! Only one of the two has a mild level of being receptive to assistance in teaching her some of the "ins and outs" of the cleanup routine. The other one says nothing.. or weirdly smiles.. never harsh.. and walks away and never does it! My immediate supervisor respects me for bringing up concerns. I do wait and give many chances for correction before I call on him privately. See, I almost never see him and he tends to rely on me to report to him. Yeah, I'm about "what time do I leave? how do I plan to maximize getting my work done? What can get done, what can't? If I work only five hours.. I can ask to stay one more hour without penalty to get the work done!" - signed, your friendly neighborhood ESTJ. Unfortunately I don't make friends easily. I never have!

I appreciate 2 minute video idea, right to the point, efficient, and not wasting my time

My maternal grandfather or my second dad, he’s an ESTJ. Sometimes he acts totalitarian and is not much about liking individualism, but deep down inside he’s a family man (traditional) and he loves us all. Everything you said in this video is completely true about them, and sometimes I’ve noticed that they are the most misunderstood and underrated type. I’m an INTJ female and I admire the ESTJ’s for their hard work,dedication, commitment and effort they make especially when it comes to family matters. Thank you guys for existing. 😂❤😅😊

16 personalities being kidnapped and interacting with their kidnapper

video idea: how to get along with your opposite type(ex: infp with estj, istp with enfj, etc)

ESTJ is underrated!

As an ESTJ, this was a great video. The ESTJ functions make more sense in urgent situations. When people want to rest and unwind we can be burdensome. I think it's easier to understand us when you realize that we have trouble turning that sense of urgency off. It's too easy for our Te and high Si to constantly foresee potential danger and problems. Even if I want to have fun, or to make sure my family or friends are having fun, it's hard not to do it in a to-the-max way that can be draining for them. I'll go to the party and tell ten lighthearted jokes and everyone is laughing, but in the end my presence can still feel overwhelming to some people. Or someone needs help and before I can check myself I do a bunch of things to help them and then they feel shamed or condescended to by my actions. Even as someone who tries to avoid being the stereotypical overbearing ESTJ, it's hard to get it right sometimes.

I can't help but notice a lot of similarities here to how you described INTJs. I know these two types are very different but I can't unsee it now.

this describes my estj mother perfectly haha

His talking voice is so crisp and clear love it.

I’m an ENTP and my wife is ESTJ. We have a unique but cool relationship. I’m probably more like Jacques Cousteau, Sir Edmund Hillary and Neil Armstrong heading off into space, off into the mountains or down to the depths of the sea but she is the wise and graceful Sherpa, the luminous and trustworthy space station and the glorious and steady ship floating confidently on the waves that I can always return to after I’ve exhausted the grand exploits of the day :) Love you lady 😘

ENFP here... I could use one of y'all in my life! Especially at work to develop systems with me 😃

When my ESTJ friend stays over he's usually been up in the roof well installing some new fandangled electrics before I've even crawled out of bed and latched on to the caffeine spout.

fantaSTICK Video

Just go to any office anywhere.

Spot on

They be zoomin 🏎 💨

Only 2 minute lol 🙈 Yup so efficient and not wasting my time. Thanks nathan!

Great video Nathan. xSTJs are creative indeed.

Wow, I just realised that I really am an ESTJ.

How on earth do I differentiate if I am ENFP and ESTJ. Easy in theory, very hard in practice

Maintainer❤️❤️

Shoutout to the discord server

I schedule when I'll have a cup of coffee (strong, black, no sugar) so that I can get stuff done more efficiently than if I was "caffeine sober".

I'm ISTP and supposedly ESTJs are my "better half" and it's true...Now I just have to meet someone with this guy xd

Hi, love your channel! I had a sudden theory pop in my head and wanted your opinion on it (and everyone else who reads this😊). So its about the perceiving functions Se Ne Si Ni. Something ive noticed is that whenever im taking in information be it from listening to someone or reading a book i always imagine it in my head to process like if someone's telling me a story if i am actively trying to understand i will let it play out in my head as they are saying it, same with books, i am INFP and i was wondering is that is a trait common to high Ne users. My cousin ISFP does not do this and instead of having images pop in her head when processing information she is much more literal about it. She mentioned she always finds it weird in meditation sessions when told to imagine a candle or a scene at the beach, because she just processes the words literally and just repeats the word candle in her mind but she doesnt add an image to it. I don't know if im explaining this comprehensively but yeah she also says when she reads books she just comprehends the words without imagining the scenario, and i thought that might be more of an Se thing. For Ni, people always describe it as unconscious information intake so in this theory it would make sense that Ne is conscious through imagination and Ni understanding occurs without conscious effort. Not sure how Si would be compared to Se, and I also dont know enough people to be able to conclude whether my observations are really due to those functions or single cases, so it would be cool to know what anyone else thinks about this 👍

Can you make a series on Ennegram?? Please.

Very well

Why were the three days too long for me?

1:54 I'd like to know how this passage applies more to ESTJs than it does to ISTJs?

Tymin Lannister is the ultimate ESTJ. Fascinating.

What happened to Lu

Makes me wonder what ESTJs think about ENTJs and vice versa. Most probably, ENTJs could direct ESFJs to the right direction (or a greater purpose as ENTJs can be philosophical that way) and ESFJs could show new methods of efficiency that the ENTJ would be so impressed with. Although, I do this double sided jealousy is a possible outcome

I admire healthy ESTJ's -ENFP

My ESTJ mom in her fifties has more energy than me, an INTJ, even during my teen years. 😅

I had an estj try to make me look bad at work so he could get my job. I fired him.

Can an Estj be very introverted? I think my older sister is ESTJ when reading the cognitive functions but she hates dealing with people and mostly likes staying home and doing her own thing.

Ah...the bully...one more type to the death note.

They never go anywhere unnoticed. 😊hockeys Don Cherry eg

Can you please do a video about the diferences of Entj and Estj? I am debating bewteen thoose types

How many of you have had people who've just met you guess that you are a completely different type than you actually are, and is it consistently the same type? I ask because I am definitely INFJ (8 tests over many years) but people constantly guess that I am an ESTJ. I think this may be related to zodiac rising signs, which is what gives people their first impression of you. I think some types may be more likely with certain rising signs. For example, my rising sign is Virgo which meshes perfectly with the ESTJ characteristics and I am very time efficient and always get my "to do" list done.

I figured out that most people find their own type unsufferable in other people, is that true to you? Because i had hard time with ESTJs only and now i'm guessing i am one of them

Why do ENTJs and INFPs don't go along most of the time?

This is off topic but I know I'm NTP. But really not sure if it's entp or intp. I guess I share similarities with both. Am I the only one that is pretty much split down the middle with extroversion/introversion?

Long before I knew that my cousin was an ESTJ, whenever I was around him, I felt he was directionless. As an INTJ and also empath, I could sense "directionless" energy which then was stuck in my energy system for days that I had to find my sense of direction through many ways that I could think of. It was a torture to be with ESTJ as an INTJ

Is all remind me of my mother and im the one against her at one point and another side with her -entj

now a video on how to deal w an estj /half lh

As an INFP I vehemently dislike ESTJ's but ive got to admit the world would be a disaster without them.

aaa I've always called myself an ENTJ but both the ENTJ and the ESTJ "how to spot" videos describe me perfectly

Can be ruthless

My dad is ESTJ-A

INTJ-A Female & 5w4 here, & this fits my primary lover exactly. He refuses to take the online test btw, lol.

Arabic translation🥺

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. - ESTJ

Goddamnit, thank you. Thank you. Sincerely, ESTJ.
