Myers-Briggs MBTI

A type that is awesome.
For you all who criticise ESTJs for being ESTJs, please look up cognitive functions and leave the poor type alone. Learn that all types are inherently equal in terms of potential, and all types can easily be just as unhealthy.

ESTJ are efficient, logical and down to earth. They, like ISTJ, are often seen by some Intuitive and/or Percieving types as rigid and inflexible, as well as closed minded. However, with their tertiary cognitive function Ne, ESTJ tend to be more flexible and creative when compared to ISxJ types.

ExTJs have dominant Te, and tend to value efficiency and directness, external sources and credible information supported by empirical evidence. However, unlike ENTJ, ESTJs tend to be a little more past than future oriented, comparing events in the past to current events, and are therefore stereotyped to be more on the traditionalist side. (Auxilliary Si).

Along with ESFJ, ESTJ are commonly associated with the 'speak to the manager' Karen. In reality, any type has the potential to be a Karen. ESTJ may also be associated with Karens for their outspokenness, emphasis on efficiency, and stereotypical tendency to shout at people. (A stereotypical example would be the ESTJ! Frank James in his 16personalities skits.)

ESTJs are often criticised in the MBTI community, due to MBTI being attractive to types that generally do not sit well with them, hence its general negative connotation.
Person 1: An old friend of mine was an ESTJ. She was efficient, intelligent and direct. She always knew the kinds of things that would help. She was a cool person, but passed away last week.
Person 2: I bet she sucked! Booo! Booooo!

One of the 16 Myers and Briggs personality types. ESTJ stands for Extrovert, Sensing, thinking and judging. If you are an ESTJ you have the personality of a store manager essentially. You always have an urge to instill order in everyone around you. Micromanaging is another specialty, you tend to instruct people on how to do somthing, realize they are doing to completely wrong, and end up doing it yourself. But hey, at least you don’t have a pesky F (feelings) in your personality, those just get in the way! And since you are naturally less intuitive, and have a more logical way of thinking you don’t realize you were being a jerk until someone flat out tells you. You aren’t insensitive, just an ESTJ, just tell them to get with the program snowflakes!

Stealthie 

when you're holding up your phone and making faces at it, as though you are taking a selfie, but you're really taking a picture of the person across from you or the wall or anything else that seems interesting but you don't want to be caught dead taking a picture of.

This action is often made more convincing by wiggling the eyebrows or opening the mouth, to pretend you're trying to get a Snapchat filter to work.
FRIEND A: "Did you just take a stealthie of me?"

FRIEND B (turning phone around): "no I was just using snapchat's new filter, see?"

The grindset is a contemporary ideology of self-exploitation disguised as strength, deeply tied to the aesthetics of the “sigma male” and to new digital forms of patriarchy. It promotes the idea that human worth depends on productivity, economic success, absolute emotional control, and the ability to work endlessly, turning vulnerability, rest, community, and tenderness into signs of weakness. Beneath its rhetoric of discipline and power often lies a profound inability to relate healthily to pain, fragility, and human interdependence.
“That’s the grindset, brother. While weak men sleep and complain, sigma males stay disciplined, work in silence, suppress emotions, and build power while everyone else wastes time chasing comfort.”
