ESTJs are doers who roll up their sleeves, dig in, and proceed directly to get the job done. They use logic and analysis as guiding principles for their lives. They are quick to decide and set a plan of action. They marshall resources in an organised fashion, implement, and follow through. The like closure. They focus directly on tasks to accomplish and are able to anticipate the steps needed to complete an assignment. In doing so, they see what might go wrong and take necessary preventive action. They monitor events continually and make sure that commitments, both their own and those of others, are honoured and the job gets done. They are at their best in situations that have some structure to them and involve activity not contemplation, and in which an end product is desired.

ESTJs prefer a work setting that is task-oriented, structured, organised, and filled with other hard-working people. They want stability, predictability, and efficiency. Only those who meet their goals in a timely fashion should be rewarded. Surprises and changes in the schedule are tolerated only as long as they make sense and the general schedule is still adhered to.

ESTJs prefer jobs that require an organised, logical, and practical bent that incorporates an effective use of time and resources. They pay attention to the organisation's hierarchy, and use policies and procedures to help them to move the tasks along. They like making decisions and dealing with concrete, specific facts.
