@ the OP: Love it! I totally agree.
Now, for other responses:
I agree. That's the point of Si. Consistency.
"Consistency" gives one message. "Same thing over and over again" says another. I'm gonna be picky about wording, like Ace was, and say that I would take the latter as an insult too, just because of all the things I would like to be, boring is not one of them. Same thing over and over = repetitive = uninteresting. I love talking about new and interesting things. I'd like to think that sometimes I have unique insights on certain situations, and that that's not specific to ENTJs.
Seems a little like sensor bias to me.
ESTJs like to command and obey, ENTJs like to command and command.
Yes.
nonono. I disagree. ENTJ's are usually *more* tactful than ESTJ's, unless it is a stressful event. ESTJ's have way more blinders on, coming across as obstinate and just oppressively commanding. In my opinion, ENTJ's dictate much more frequently with a sense of fairness and balance, instead of purely authoritative command. if things are not getting accomplished, both types can be completely tactless though. More often than not though an ENTJ has much less of a superiority complex.
Stereotyping alert! Seriously. This post comes across as being based on one or two unhealthy ESTJs, and not based on the actual tendencies of the type. Oppressively commanding? Purely authoritative command? Not as fair as ENTJs??? I mean, if there's one thing ESTJs care about, it's fairness. That cannot be denied. Fairness is a value that I live by, like honesty and dignity. If someone told me I was being dictatorial and unfair, and I saw that they were right, I would be mortified and change my leadership style as soon as possible, and I think most ESTJs would do the same given those circumstances.
In other words, pretty much anything else is the "wrong" way to do things.
Wrong unless proven otherwise, for the record. If an ESTJ goes up to you and says "Why are you doing things this way? It's supposed to go THAT way", they're not asking a rhetorical question, and they're expecting you to answer and make your case. If other ESTJs are like me, they really care about UNDERSTANDING people. Whenever an ESTJ gets frustrated with someone "not being rational", or "being stupid", or "not having common sense", it's not always because they're doing something wrong. Often, it's because they're frustrated at that person doing something that makes absolutely no sense to the ESTJ. There's nothing frustrating about it once it gets explained to them, and once they see that it was the right choice.
Unlike ESTJs who tend to be methodological (as someone already had pointed out), ENTJs aren't like this.
Very true.
And as other people said before, ESTJs are more prone towards acting within established institutions/norms/what-have-you, whereas an ENTJ would be just as likely to make their own. I read something a while ago, about how one big difference between ESTJs and ENTJs shows up when you ask them a vague question. The ENTJ will decide for themselves what the question means and then answer it accordingly, whereas the ESTJ will be uncomfortable with that, and will want to know how the question was MEANT to be answered before they can answer it.
I will also add, that they seem to see their hard working efforts as some sort of trophy for completing a task. Like they have the idea that if you put in your time you face the set backs and you do what needs to be done, it is somehow more valuable than just doing it with ease. It is really weird.
Like nothing in life is easy, suck it up and take the hits. I find that at odds with my way of dealing with things. Which is maximum payoff with the least consequence.
I wonder if that's just the ESTJs you know?
It's even an ESTJ stereotype, to care a lot about efficiency. I fit that stereotype, for sure, to the point that I agree with you that those ESTJs are weird, for thinking that way.
