The Personality Type Expert is exploring the hidden talents of ESTJ-Personality Type,

“They have a clear vision of the way of getting things done”.

The Talents of ESTJ-Personality Type

Talents lie in bringing order, structure, and completion.[ An estimated 8% to 12% of the U.S. population has an ESTJ personality].

Fantastic Management skills:

ESTJs have fantastic management skills both in business and family matters and are capable of creating good workable systems.

However, they may not always be prepared to listen to people who suggest alternative ways of doing things.

Result Oriented

ESTJs are hardworking and results orientated and as such, they often expect and demand

others around them to have the same dedication and devotion.

They can sometimes be exploitative of others in pursuit of the bottom line.

ESTJs strongly desire closure on most things faster than almost anyone.

They are energized by the part of the process when the vision is created,

ideas generated and it is time to focus on execution!

ESTJs are one of the hardest working types, wasting much less time than most making small talk, daydreaming, and surfing the internet.

High standard living

Their self-confidence and strong convictions help them excel at putting plans into action, this personality type tends to place a high value on tradition,

rules, and security. Maintaining a high status is important to ESTJs,

duties, and especially government branches, and community organizations they are more involved in.

Fast decision Makers:

They are good at making fast and decisive choices, but they may often rush to judgment before considering

all the information about a situation. One positive side,

this trait makes them good leaders and excellent bosses.

OUTSPOKEN & PRODUCTIVE

They have the most high-energy, talkative types, and perhaps no type can top an ESTJ when it comes to speed.

Whether it is walking, talking, executing, deciding – you name it – they are the fastest.

ESTJs typically accomplish more by lunchtime than most people accomplish in a day,

and can become addicted to being “productive” and checking things off their personal or

work “to do” list every minute if they aren’t careful.

ESTJs are highly outgoing and open to sharing about their lives,

and are much more likely than their ISTJ colleagues to “think out loud”.PROACTIVE, “TAKE CHARGE”

ESTJs are THE most proactive of the 16 types, they don’t wait for it to all “work out”. . .

they MAKE it all work out!  Since they have a strong sense of responsibility and desire to be in control,

they have to be careful not to over-manage when working with direct reports. When there is a clear objective,

ESTJs often take charge very confidently, even in a strange environment or unknown groups.
