name is Ben and welcome to today's video
where we're going to be discussing the
ESTJ the judicator estjs are past
focused Duty based types who value
security routine and achievement they
tend to choose safe careers that others
approve of which offer a guaranteed
payoff no matter how long it takes
usually geared toward Faith religious or
otherwise and high tolerance for
difficult work they strive tirelessly
for security and order they search for
positions relationships and Pursuits
that increase their status as they wish
to become authorities who dictate
standards and seek to give others a
better future examples of famous estjs
include Brad Pit Elizabeth olssen Henry
caval Tulsi gabard and Jeff Bezos as
with all types the SJ lies at an
intersection between one inter
interaction style and one temperament
they have the structure interaction
style meaning that they are direct
initiating it outcome and the guardian
SJ temperament meaning that they are
concrete affiliative and systematic
direct means that they say what they
mean and mean what they say and prefer
to choose their role in a conversation
estjs are sparse with their language and
usually prefer short and clear
communication initiating means that they
prefer to go to other people and start
conversations rather than let people
come to them they're more comfortable
creating interactions than responding to
them and outcome when it comes to
relationships work or play estjs prefer
to make a plan before acting as opposed
to jumping into action and letting the
plan reveal itself This Is How They
control outcomes they are concrete
meaning they care more about what's real
and tested than the purely theoretical
however out of all the concrete types
estjs are more comfortable with the
abstract than other Guardians and
especially more so than The Artisans the
SP types some esjs can even become
philosophy professors esjs are
systematic and systematic types have a
variety of procedures for almost every
task they do systematic types are
focused on finding the absolute best way
to complete a task this can be as simple
as having a procedure to fill the
dishwasher to having a systematized
strategy for winning a court case and
estjs are affiliative they're most
comfortable when being interdependent
and part of a team they're focused on
doing what they believe is right less
developed ddjs can get swept up in what
Society thinks is right and they can
allow Society to dictate whatever truth
the ESTJ operates by the a cognitive
functions of the ESTJ extroverted
thinking hero te hero is very aware of
how they are perceived by others estjs
are naturally equipped to look the part
they're very concerned with their image
and their status around social groups
they're also very competent at gathering
information they can read research and
store a high volume of information
extroverted thinking understands what
other people think so ESTJ J can help
others refine their Thinking by giving
input and asking pointed questions to
sharpen others thinking te is also
rational meaning they justify an
intellectual position with reasoning
data and reference points as opposed to
Pure logical processing estjs developed
te Hero by dedicating time to reading
researching and Gathering a wide variety
of high quality reference points over
several topics and disciplines
introverted sensing parent SI parent is
all about endurance strength memory
comfort and my experience
SI parents are cautious and responsible
about what they allow themselves to
experience but their SI is also
extremely powerful allowing the ESTJ to
endure uncomfortable experiences for
long periods of time or persevere
through a journey such as seeking a
difficult degree from University when
they Embrace and develop their strength
they become more open to new experiences
and actively seek them esjs developed
their SI parent by committing to
becoming strong and reliable you'll see
a lot of esjs at the gym or in
endurance-based sports where they're
constantly testing and refining their
strength with their SI parents memory
combined with their te Heroes database
of information ejs can have one of the
best long-term memories out of all the
16 types exerted intuition child any
child is very innocent about giving
people what they want and providing
others with choices often regarded as
hard asses estjs are actually very
giving regarding others desires this
also means that estjs are hoping that
other people will want them they don't
care about what they want as long as
they are comfortable esjs are basically
down for anything a great way to make an
ESTJ loyal to you is to consistently
communicate how much you want them any
child also sees consequences though
their NE isn't as strong as the 4np
types they can become very good at
avoiding bad consequences when they
build up and store a lot of life
experience with their SI parent
introverted feeling inferior estjs walk
around afraid that they are unworthy
they're afraid that they are bad useless
and don't know how to properly weigh out
things they use external achievements
and status to validate that they're a
good and useful person the reason many
estjs seem shallow is because they're
afraid to look within and actually
determine what they think is good or bad
and true or false estjs often have an
overabundance of information with their
te hero they have to learn to use their
intermitted feeling inferior to weigh
out what information is good and worth
remembering and what information is
either wrong or trivial and can be let
go of introverted thinking Nemesis estjs
walk around worried that they're dumb
this is one reason they go out of their
way with their te hero to gather as many
reference points and conduct as much
research as possible estjs like to
surround themselves with ti users
especially stps and nfjs who are more
equipped to process the information The
estjs Have and the stps and nfjs love
all the input and research that the
estjs have at their fingertips and they
can refine each other's thinking
immature estjs don't verify their
research they don't process the
information they have and instead rely
on the he said she said technique as a
substitute for accuracy if someone
important said it it must be true wrong
why Z sjs comb through information to
verify its accuracy and utility
extroverted sensing critic SC critic is
very critical of other people's
appearance Fitness fashion and
performance it is also internalized by
the ESTJ through SI parent making the
esj seek an attractive appearance
impressive Fitness excellent performance
Etc even though the ESTJ is an SI user
SEC critic still makes them care a lot
about how they come across to other
people SEC critic leads the ESTJ to keep
things neat they often have neat homes
neat workspaces and neat environments
they're driven by a compulsion to keep
things orderly around them if you can't
match this orderliness or demonstrate
that you even care about the experience
you give off it'll be hard for an ESTJ
to respect you introverted intuition
trickster estjs have no idea what they
want ni trickster tells the ESTJ I could
want anything this means the ESTJ thinks
they know what they want they think they
know where their future is going but
they really have no clue
one reason any child is so innocent and
tireless about giving other people what
they want is because the ESTJ Z
trickster has no idea what it wants Be
watchful for your ESTJ when they make
decisions for their future by themselves
especially with things like buying a car
house or marrying somebody if you think
they should want something else tell
them they could probably use your help
extroverted feeling demon Fe as a
standalone function cares about fairness
and compassion but when slotted in the
demon it becomes demonic the demon is
where a types hate resentment bitterness
and repression lie Fe demon comes out
when the ESTJ is fi inferior is attacked
Fe demon dehumanizes others it's as if
the FI inferior and Fe demon are saying
if I don't get to feel valuable then no
one gets to feel valuable Fe demon takes
on the quality of demonic fairness where
every human being is reduced fairly to
an object think of Harvey Dent after he
falls in the Dark Knight the value of
human life is left to chance watch out
for Fe demon and don't stomp on the FI
inferior unless absolutely necessary
there are often bad consequences on the
other side of triggering anyone's
inferior with respect to the four sides
of the Mind the ESTJ ego has infp
subconscious istp unconscious and ENFJ
super ego a closer look into each of
these will reveal their path to growth
in maturity so in the ego the biggest
source of their maturity comes from the
parent function as is the case with all
types for DJ is developing their
strength physically and mentally their
capacity for endurance persevering
through tasks and being reliable in
fulfilling their Duty that is the
fastest way for them to build
responsibility and therefore maturity
others look to estjs to be an example of
orderliness discipline and at times
leadership a developed SI parent is
essential for an ESTJ to become
respected and respectable infb
subconscious reveals the estjs path to
happiness the subconscious for all types
is our Pathway to happiness when we
break through the fear of our inferior
it becomes aspirational and we become
strong and capable where we were
previously weak and Afraid the ESTJ is
on a journey to discover their own Worth
to stand for the principles they hold as
convictions and find their authentic
voice which leads to genuine
self-expression they want to become
moral philosophers and Educators within
their infp subconscious they want to
share their philosophy with others this
development can take on many forms from
writing to music painting and acting to
certain uses of Athletics religious
studies and a variety of academic
Pursuits yes s need to let go of their
te Heroes obsession with looking good
and instead actually become good by
embodying the values that their fi
inferior has carefully weighed out the
irony is that in the long run if they
Place their values over their status
they will actually gain more status at
the end of the day istp unconscious or
Shadow reveals the estjs path to wisdom
so the ESTJ can become wise through
developing their istp subconscious the
Gateway is TI Nemesis using t Nemesis to
become TI Ally the ESTJ accepts that
they don't feel smart and realizes that
their thinking isn't always thorough TI
Nemesis and its underdeveloped form
often rushes to conclusions or avoids
logical processing altogether TI Ally
frees estjs to become independent
thinkers where they aren't imprisoned by
what others think or the mere pursuit of
their status TI Ally is made evident
when the ESTJ stands up for the truth
regardless of what the other people
around them think the istj's wisdom also
lies in the development of ESS critics
where they become very wise about
performance and appearance but more
importantly about how and when and how
much pressure to apply to others ESS
critic through the istp shadow can make
others very very very strong when
utilized in a wise manner ENFJ super ego
reveals the estjs path to love so the
ENFJ super ego led by Fe demon starts
out hateful about the worth and Humanity
of other people over time as the ESTJ
begins to realize that the reason they
feel bad bad about themselves through fi
inferior is because they treat other
people like numbers they can start to
develop Fe demon to become Effy Angel
and learn not only to tolerate but to
embrace the humanity of others ENFJ
super ego in its Angelic form is one of
the purest expressions of compassion
capable of a human being psychologically
speaking but developing Fe demon into an
angel can take a lifetime but it starts
with acknowledging the importance of the
demon to learn more about how to develop
your demon and experience a deep dive
into the tools to master your demon
check out season 29 in the membership
portal at CS joseph. lifee estjs have a
bad reputation within the mbti community
and most personality spheres most of it
is because people don't understand them
estjs can be bossy know it alls and hard
asses sure but they're also deeply
sensitive people who constantly worry
about their own worth as a human being
they feel incomplete without their
status achievements and trophies but if
they are honest with themselves no
achievement or position fills them up
for very long
the best estjs come to recognize that
they don't need achievements to be a
worthy human in fact their deepest
Humanity lies behind the confrontation
of their vulnerability as with all the
16 types the fact is that the ESTJ has
the potential to become remarkably
Humane if you enjoyed this video be sure
