Description:

ESTJs are hardworking traditionalists, eager to take charge in organizing projects and people. They focus on facts and concrete needs. They are analytical, conscientious, decisive, direct, efficient, responsible, and fact-minded individuals. They value predictability and prefer things to proceed in a logical order. When they see a lack of organization, the ESTJ often takes the initiative to establish processes and guidelines, so that everyone knows what's expected.

ESTJs thrive in an environment built on order and continuity with explicit rules, expectations, and standards to follow. Leadership roles come easily for the ESTJ personality type, and they enjoy results-oriented work of a practical nature. ESTJs quickly develop a reputation in the workplace as people who can be trusted to deliver, on time and as requested. They are unfailingly reliable and gain satisfaction from bringing a project to completion.

ESTJs represent approximately 8.7 percent of the U.S. population.
