First of all, good work on making this interesting thread EJCC. One thing that I don't quite approve is the fact that you seem like you're speaking for all ESTJs when you probably don't know every single one.
Firstly, good to see another ESTJ! There need to be more of us here. After all, there are only two of us that are really well known around here.
Secondly, in the first post of this thread I asked all other ESTJs on the forum to answer questions with me if they so chose. I've just taken charge because only one other ESTJ (WickedQueen) has helped me out on the thread, and she's not here very often. So, if it'll make you feel any better, join me! Good to have a comrade
Thirdly, the way you phrased your objection wasn't exactly fair (no one can ever know ALL of one personality type), but I doubt you meant it like that. I realize that I'm mostly (though by NO means entirely
*) speaking of myself. However, I've told people that, in many of my posts. You'll see some disclaimers in older posts such as "This may just be me, but..."
1. How do you spend your free time
On the computer, cleaning, reading, hanging out with friends, knitting, watching TV, doing craft projects, going to clubs, taking classes, etc.
2. How well do you deal with new people or strangers
I'm polite. New people like me, if/when they understand my sense of humor. I don't open up to them right away, but I think I deal with new people pretty well. When I'm in a big group of new people, and many of the new people know each other, I can be shy, but I'm not socially awkward in any stretch of the imagination.
3. How organized are you (Home, workspace, life)
My home and workspace vary from being reasonably clean to being an organized mess, but never get worse than that. In life, I do okay, but I'm still young, and that's something you (usually) get better at with age.
4. How do you spend money and is money important
Money is necessary for survival. Better to have more money to live more comfortably. I mostly use money for necessities, but I have some vices, including CDs, and sometimes I splurge in order to get the best possible quality product. (One example: I just bought a laptop, and chose to get a Macbook Pro, because, even though it was much more expensive, it was rated higher by Consumer Reports, and I tested it in a store and it worked much better than its less expensive PC counterparts.
5. Is anger the only emotion that you show (and no I do not have an anger management problem, haha)
Oh no. I'm incredibly expressive. I show pretty much every positive emotion I have, when I have it. I think that, in the past, I've hidden almost every negative emotion I can have EXCEPT for anger (for various reasons, including the need to not look weak). I'm guessing you're the same in this; when I get really angry, it just bursts out, and I feel like there's nothing I can do to stop it.
6. How laid back are you at home, at work, and with friends
I can be pretty laid back at home and with friends, but it really depends on who I'm with. If I'm with laid back people, I'm more obsessive, to counterbalance them, and vice versa. At work, though, I'm almost never laid back.
7. How much pressure or workload can or did you handle at work
I think I can handle a lot. There's always a stage, when I have a ton of work to do, in which I worry to death about my work quality, and/or whether I can get it all done on time, but once I get past that (and I always do), I handle it all just fine.
Geez...Do I ever love making lists...
*I know ESTJs irl; I've read many, MANY ESTJ type descriptions online; I've done a lot of introspection about those type descriptions and realized that even if not all them fit me, I understand how they might have the potential of fitting considering how I think; and I have MANY anecdotes from fellow TypeC members at my disposal.
