For ESTJs the driving force
in their lives is their need to analyze and bring
into logical order the outer world of events,
people, and things.ESTJs like to organize anything that comes
into their domain, and they will work
energetically to complete tasks so they can
quickly move from one to the next.Sensing orients their thinking to current
facts and realities, and thus gives their thinking
a pragmatic quality.ESTJs take their responsibilities seriously
and believe others should do so as well.
