Characteristics of ESTJs

Fast, Outspoken and Productive

Los ESTJ son uno de LOS tipos más enérgicos y habladores, y quizás ningún tipo pueda superar a un ESTJ cuando se trata de velocidad. Ya se trate de caminar, hablar, ejecutar, decidir - lo que sea - son los más rápidos. Los ESTJ suelen hacer más cosas antes de la hora de comer que la mayoría de la gente en un día, y pueden volverse adictos a ser "productivos" y a tachar cosas de su lista de tareas personales o laborales a cada minuto, si no tienen cuidado. Los ESTJ son muy extrovertidos y abiertos a compartir sus vidas, y son mucho más propensos que sus colegas ISTJ a "pensar en voz alta" y dejar pocos pensamientos relevantes sin decir.

Detail-Oriented

A menudo son capaces de citar lo que otros han dicho en conversaciones mantenidas días antes, los ESTJ dan y pueden absorber mucha información detallada y objetiva en la que suelen basar sus decisiones. A diferencia de los tipos intuitivos, los ESTJ no disfrutan de largas sesiones de lluvia de ideas o de recibir una "página en blanco" de un proyecto en la que tengan que crear la visión desde cero. Prefieren disponer de la mayor cantidad de información posible al comenzar un proyecto, y destacan a la hora de tomar un proceso existente y ajustarlo para lograr la máxima eficiencia.

Direct, Transparent

ESTJs are “off the charts” logic driven - instantly able to see what decision makes the most sense objectively, given the facts. They are perhaps the type least likely to make a decision that doesn’t make logical sense on paper. They tend to be thick skinned when it comes to feedback or disagreements, and are great at both giving and receiving very specific direction and instruction. As one of the most transparent types, ESTJs are mostly “what you see is what you get.” This can mean that at times they are quite direct (to the point of being blunt) in an effort to get things done. They tend not to sugar-coat their feedback or reactions as much as others in order to avoid detracting from the clarity of message.

Proactive, Take-Charge

ESTJs leave nothing to chance. As THE most proactive of the 16 types, they don’t wait for it to all “work out”. . . they MAKE it all work out! Typically the most effective way to complete a task is very clear to them. Since they have a strong sense of responsibility and desire to be in control, they have to be careful not to over-manage and under-delegate when working with direct reports. When there is a clear objective, ESTJs often take charge very confidently, even in groups of people they don’t know well.
