The order of dominance for your different preferences is:

As an extroverted thinker, the ESTJ needs to take charge and make logical decisions about the issues that confront him or her.

The ESTJ is motivated to organize life on a logical basis, classifying, ordering, and directing facts and situations. S/he will be decisive and will take an impersonal approach to decision-making, putting systems' and organizations' needs before individual feelings.

The sensing preference will lead the ESTJ to tend toward proven solutions while focusing on short-term, highly measurable goals. ESTJs are systematic, logical, objective and have great reasoning power. They have little interest in subjects for which they can see no application.

As partners, ESTJs work hard and are practical and matter of fact. They are consistent and dependable although their emotional attachments tend not to be high in their system of priorities. Rule-driven themselves, they tend to expect others to be similarly conformist and can be harsh disciplinarians.

They conceal little and are therefore very easy to get to know.

For personal development goals, ESTJs might learn to be more flexible and open-minded. This will win them valuable allies and will help them avoid becoming over-rigid.

They would also improve efficiency and the effectiveness of organizations by learning to demonstrate appreciation. Again, a recognition that the world is not a black and white environment would help them be more successful and also reduce their tension.

Under stress, the ESTJ can become explosive or the reverse, withdrawn. The need to make decisions, regardless of whether or not the necessary data is available, can become overpowering, leading to expensive errors.

On the whole, the ESTJ is practical, results oriented, and likely to implement tried and trusted solutions to practical problems. S/he doesn't like to be bothered with concepts and strategies and is driven by a sense of duty, service and belonging.

Jobs for ESTJs include:

Insurance agent, sales, military officer, security guard, mechanical engineer, computer analyst, farmer, construction worker, auditor, bank officer, factory supervisor, purchasing agent, credit analyst, budget analyst, chief information officer, dentist, judge, executive, corporate finance lawyer, industrial engineer.
