Title says it. IMHO, am leaning towards ESTJs, but I think that there is more activity on the ISTJ forum so I was just wondering about what you guys think about this - do you think it can be ESTJ?
There is someone that was recently assigned to work in the project I am directing - we are the same age, same major, same year of graduation (this past May). And it is getting to the point of seriously irking me. His emails are extremely formal, despite how laid-back I know he is IRL. We were also acquaintances before working together on this project, so we're also facebook friends :tongue: I feel like even when we are with other acquaintances from another organization (outside of the project), he suddenly straightens up, gets super polite and formal towards me, which bothers me because i see this project more as a collaboration of colleagues, and I am just doing the directing as another post-bac. student, but not as a boss-supervisor. And it also bothers me, because I feel like I'm being perceived as some kind of authoritarian dictator that must be treated professionally and formally.
The pro. to this behavior is that he gets things done, when I ask him to get things done. And I am somewhat impressed by this. He's the only person I haven't had to gently remind about certain deadlines or projects, because he'll get them to me in advance, and he'll do exactly what I asked. [crossfingers] Let's just hope it stays this way! [/crossfingers] I've ruled out ISTJ and INTJ, based on observations of my close friends, so I'm leaning towards ESTJ and ENTJ. funny thing, i seem to be running into these types a lot more lately. Whatever he is, he has a really HIGH J. so anyway, just based off of this super formality and professionalism, which type is most likely to be like this?
