ESTJ - The Practitioner

ESTJs, also known as Logical Sensory Energisers (LSEs), are practical, empirical problem-solvers who value efficiency and incremental improvement. Often misunderstood as rigid or authoritarian, they are in fact broad-minded, developing over time into even more capable, fact-driven individuals. With dominant Pragmatism and support from their Senses, they optimise processes by trial and thrive on getting things done well.


ESTJ is defined by the following dichotomies:

  1. Energiser vs Integrator
  2. Sensory vs Intuitive
  3. Logical vs Ethical
  4. Rational vs Irrational
  5. Reductionist vs Holist
  6. Identifier vs Transformer
  7. Accepter vs Rejecter
  8. Clarifier vs Integrifier
  9. Determined vs Exacting
  10. Contrarian vs Obstinate
  11. Affirmer vs Denier
  12. Space-Locked vs Time-locked
  13. Sight-Locked vs Speech-Locked
  14. Thetic vs Antithetic
  15. Clockwise vs Anticlockwise
