Oh, one more thing: What I crossed out isn't really so much the S parts of ESTJ, but rather what people think are the S parts of it. Si is about reliance on experience and previously-gathered data, which used to equal traditionalism in a time when information was very limited, but doesn't have to anymore. An SJ who wasn't taught a coherent system of moral values, or who has received sufficient information conflicting with those (which is quite readily available these days -- the Moral Guardians' concerns about media corrupting young minds is quite justified in the case of Si users) will probably not be very traditional.
I agree, it's not traditionalism per se.. Although there is a heavy reliance on a certain kind of steadiness/standards of normalcy, possibly the most detail oriented in it's fact checking, more comfortable with "official" information, familiar routines, authorities, etc.. It all sounds suffocating in the abstract, but I think it plays out differently in people.
