ESTZ – Supervising

As an ESTZ you are a natural organiser of your environment. You use your reasoning ability to take charge of as much of your life as possible. You are most comfortable when you are able to plan ahead, get the facts, set goals, lay out a timetable, and organise the players. Those objectives usually concern people, objects, and situations rather than theories and ideas.

ESTZs trust information that is rooted in the real world. In work, that translates into patience with familiar tasks, skills, and routines. As an ESTZ you work steadily toward your goals, and with much greater accuracy than other types. You enjoy the predictability of a well-laid-out life. In problem-solving situations, you tend to apply and adapt past experiences automatically, distrusting the unusual approaches suggested by colleagues.

ESTZs are natural managers, directors, or executives, and when offered the chance to show your abilities, you pour your energy into the job. You have little sympathy for ineffective or inefficient work. You have a clear-cut view of what it means to do a job well. You are not shy about letting people know what your values are.

ESTZs are open and straightforward about their views, preferences, prejudices, and decisions. You prefer clear-cut choices and display intolerance for ambiguous situations. If asked to consider an idea, you prefer to see it translated into firm plans complete with facts and figures before you pour your time and energy into evaluating its worth. But unless you take the time to slow down and attend to other people’s points of view, you may judge too quickly, without all of the facts.

ESTZs like a harmonious, orderly, routine home life emphasising traditional values. You value your possessions. Given a choice, you will spend your money on useful furnishings and major pieces that will see many years of service. You are unsettled by waste and conspicuous consumption. You have a distinct sense of obligation, and responsibility is a driving force, pushing you to take on more and more tasks for the benefit of others.

Because of your organising abilities and realistic observations, people with this personality type often represent an important component within civic and social groups. Friends appreciate the ESTZ’s ability to look at any situation in a practical, no-nonsense way. ESTZs are product-oriented people who set, appreciate, and value high standards.
