Considering your misunderstood by many N's. I think it would be good information for all.

I don't know many ESTJ, though... Just myself.

I had an ESTJ boss loudly yell at me in front of customers/ fellow employees when I went out of my way to help a fellow co-worker, who was overloaded with work. Apparently, I wasn't supposed to help anyone, just stay in my section even if I had nothing to do. It was my first day and I went into the back room and cried.

Sadists !!!!!!

Yeah, maybe it's just because I haven't noticed ESTJs that didn't fit the stereotypes, but pretty much all of the ones I can think of did. But in a Guardian-dominated society I don't think that's necessarily the case, it's just the extremes stand out. It wouldn't make sense at least, since maturity is different from temperament.

Dude, there's a thanks button and a minimum character limit for a reason.

Being an ESTJ, I've got some stereotypes that I'd like to debunk:

1. ESTJ's are boring because they play by the rules.

Totally incorrect. We respect the rules, but that doesn't mean we don't play our butts off. I mean, serisouly, when you play by the rules, you're bound to have more fun when you win, because you did it fairly and without any extra help. Part of my philosophy: work hard, play hard. We ESTJ's may play by the rules, but if there's a loophole, you can bet we'll find it and exploit it! hahaha

2. ESTJ's are bossy.

This isn't necessarily true. Sure, we can come across as domineering and/or demanding, but it's usually because the people we're dealing with are completely incompetent, or they're shirking responsibility. One thing that I hate (and I'm guessing other ESTJ's do, too), is irresponsibility.

3. ESTJ's are "penny-wise and uber-pound-wise."

This also isn't necessarily true. I have the tendency to be fairly lax with money. I work to make it so I can spend it on things that I want. That's the point of having a job, right?

What do you think?
