I am now typing as an ESTJ/ISTJ which I find very interesting because I used to type as an ENFP and was married to an ESTJ who i absolutely could not seem to understand one bit! Needless to say now i understand him so much more 🤣
But I also wanted to say- from the sound of Wendy’s “accent” she sounds like she is from Delco PA which is pretty cool because I am too!
On another note, thank you Joel and Antonia for all that you guys do! I love your podcasts and listen to them everyday while I work!!
Awesome interview Wendy! It took me until almost the end of the podcast to realize that ESTJs are the ISTPs shadow (that the ESTJs first 4 cognitive functions are the 5-8 functions for ISTPs in the same order). As an ISTP trying to figure out how to understand and use my shadow functions better having such a kick-ass great example of what that combination can do is very inspiring. I really appreciated hearing your story and all your great insights. It is a podcast I know I have a lot more to learn from as I try to integrate the rest of my functions. Many thanks!
I found this interview very interesting. It helps me to understand and appreciate ESTJs more. And I find this series helps me understand all the types more, and get past the stereotypes. I relate to some of the Te – Fi balance. And I appreciate this interview in understanding how to develop my copilot more. The pacing thing I find interesting. I only pace when I’m really stressed and trying to work something out. I wonder if other INTJs do that. Maybe it’s a little bit of a TJ thing. I find exercise and running help me get out of my head and more into action. A common struggle with INTJs. That’s why seeing what ETJs do with their Te function helps. Thank you Wendy for sharing your life’s journey struggles and all.
The ESTJs I know all have that need for pacing and movement to function. Both are female and work in engineering. Both have good boundary skills as well. This podcast has given me more insight into both women and how they function. Wendy’s interview allowed me to see an ESTJ from the inside rather than from a stereotype.
I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s a bit of a tendency there, but any person of all walks of life and of any personality type will perform all sorts of different, even opposite behaviors. The question is less so what they do than it is why they do it. If an ESTJ is very intentional about their Te in their daily life, I can see getting up early as a good strategy. Sounds like your dad fits somewhere along that line, but it’s equally viable for there to be a perfectly healthy ESTJ who’s decided that getting up early in the morning doesn’t need to be a priority for them because of other strategies. Humans are way too complex to be able to determine little patterns of behavior from patterns of cognitive functions.
