The ESTJs I know do have a "prove it" aura around them, but I don't find them to be obstinate or stubborn, just make me believe it. I don't find that kind of thing intimidating. They like to argue and with one in particular it was a little offputting at first, but after a while I realized it wasn't her trying to be difficult. I wouldn't put much faith in something someone says that they are not sure of themselves so I don't blame ESTJs for this particular trait. Confidence is the key with almost anyone, not just ESTJs.
Good point. Sometimes it does make a lot of difference, usually for the better, with a bit of bluster. Providing they don't see through it of course!!

Yup. No offence mean't. Just wanted to go into more depth about ESTJ interaction without being too coy and disinterested.

That's a point, I could be quite offended that someone would consider this one of MY rants!!

They're far more in decipherable and full of venom.
