Recently, I have been contemplating the Myers-Briggs type of a certain person, a manager I’ve worked under. This person irritated me immensely and I’ve concluded with great certainty that they were most likely an ESFJ. Since ESFJs are the polar opposite of INTPs, it was no wonder why this person annoyed me so much.

What irked me most was the incredible lack of sense displayed by this person. If this is typical of all ESFJ then I would go so far as to say that these folks do not belong in any captain’s chair. With that said, here are 6 reasons why I think ESFJs are not suited for leadership.

"Despite my criticism, I actually do appreciate ESFJs"

It doesn't sound like it. You basically just insulted them, and maybe added a superficial compliment here and there.

Well, another dull thread.

Another unoriginal idea.

People not learning from the mistakes of others.

Booooooooooring.

INTPs and ESFJs aren't enemies, we just may not have much in common. Every ESFJ I have known personally on here and irl I've gotten on with. Just gotta try.

It is all relative:

ESFJ in charge of kindergarden or humanitarian organisation - excellent
ESFJ in charge of corporation or military that are facing serious challanges - not so good
