In this episode you correctly point out that ESTJ’s are one of the most “decision making” of the types, however I feel there needs to be some clarity on how they make their lightning quick decisions. It’s based on their memory (Si) and a need to act now (Te). Typically, little to no thought is given to other perspectives (Fe) or long term implications (Ni) the bottom of their stack.
If you’ve ever worked for an ESTJ, you know this, and have likely been on the receiving end of the repercussions. ESTJ’s seek out decision making roles, but are rarely the people you actually want making those same decisions. They gravitate to middle management where they often boss people around, but typically lack strategic vision to operate at higher levels of leadership roles within an organization. This might be effective management for some types, but their relationship with intuitives especially will be very challenging if the ESTJ holds the power, unless the ESTJ is mature enough to rely on the intuitive “underlings” for analysis, which is challenging for this type.
I’m in my early 40 and feel I’ve been ESTJ all my life. In primary and secondary schools I was the class leader. Studied pedagogy but didn’t have patience for children so after my masters, I went to live abroad where I got into managing teams I’m data and I’m still doing it 18 years later.
I am definitely the classic dominant ESTJ, I do have sympathy for people (my team likes me and I let then get on with things ). I can sniff piss takers from a mile and they don’t have it easy with me.
I’m challenging myself by doing coaching qualifications but it’s hard not to give my opinion (which you need to keep to yourself in coaching). I really enjoy this addiction to my data management job. I love talking to people.
With regard to the first paragraph – I have now confirmed that it was actually in a Joyce Meng interview of Dario Nardi, where he says analytic Te is more ‘speed and profit’ and holistic Te more about ‘usefulness and accuracy’.
Thanks Joel and Antonia,
The ‘normalizing’ ESTJ actually sounds like they have a more ‘holistic’ Te, based on Dr Nardi’s description of this type of Te. I think you guys yourselves talked in an earlier podcast about ‘analytic’ Te being more about efficiency and speed (as you have described the dominant ESTJ) and holistic Te being more about usefulness and accuracy (please correct me if I’m wrong).
Perhaps you have conflated efficiency/speed with being ‘opinionated’, ‘conscientious’, and ‘disciplined’ as per your general view of analytic judging functions, which makes no sense to me as people who prioritise efficiency/speed are more likely to put out low-standard ‘product’ (quantity over quality). It seems to me that normalizing types in general are very quality-focused so accuracy/usefulness does seem more their emphasis.
I still don’t know however whether this is more of a problem of defining holistic/analytic in a consistent way or a problem of mapping them to the sub-types.
