I haven't noticed a difference regarding politics/etc -- besides the obvious, i.e. that ESTJs are much more detached and cold about it when they describe their motivations for their political beliefs* -- but in terms of general differences? The major difference I've noticed, IME, is that ESFJs seem to be very calculated with their emotional decisions, whereas ESTJs are so terrible at that, that they end up barely handling them (or handling them childishly), if at all. Because chaos is antithetical to how ESTJs usually live their lives, it's frustrating beyond belief that they usually experience their emotions as a chaotic mess -- so, better to avoid getting overwhelmed by stuffing all that junk into the closet, shutting the door, and pretending like nothing's in there.I have an ESTJ 1w2 father and we really can't seem to agree on anything... What would you say are some of the biggest differences between you and some of the ESFJs you know? Particularly in the way you view things like politics and various humanitarian issues?
Are your disagreements with your dad generally on philosophical things (e.g. politics)? Or is it more personal? (You don't have to answer if you don't want to)
*notable exception being when they show their Fi marshmallow center (if you're so lucky... or something)
