ESTJ and the Zodiac

The ESTJ has been dubbed the “logistical supervisor” by David Keirsey and as such, the ESTJ is typified by their executive prowess and ability to organize and manage systems and groups on an impersonal and factual basis. However, much like the rest of the MBTI types, if you were to take a handful of ESTJs from the population you would no doubt find that there is a considerable amount of variation amongst them. The MBTI doesn’t account for all aspects of personality and even the degree to which you qualify as a given MBTI type will vary compared with others sharing the same type. Might astrology contribute to this? Who knows, but here is a speculative assessment of how each ESTJ may differ based on zodiac sign.

ESTJ Aries

The ESTJ Aries is likely to embody the consummate headstrong commander. They are quick and decisive and able to learn and implement proven methods and tactics with impressive skill. The Aries ESTJ can be intimidating and confrontational with others who challenge them. However, their temperament is sanguine and they tend to be positive and direct. Their egos compel them to occupy positions of control and they can excel in the role of taskmaster. However, they are not ones to sit by idly while others toil in the trenches. For the Aries ESTJ, there is always work to be done and they are eager to initiate new projects and enterprises for important purposes. They seek to lead from the from the front and want to be part of the action not just orchestrating it from behind the scenes. The ESTJ Aries is a very reliable enforcer who displays great courage and bravery even when the odds are against them.

ESTJ Taurus

The ESTJ Taurus possesses patience and exercises more caution in their decision-making process than their Aries counterpart. The Taurus ESTJ works hard for the purpose of acquiring wealth or at least financial security. They hustle hard but also know to how really relax and pamper themselves. Their sense of structure and organization is often put to great use in the world of design and aesthetic architecture. The Taurus ESTJ is likely to be very conservative and traditional in their values. They favor a common sense approach and can scarcely understand or appreciate why people would think any differently. They are reverent towards the authority and contributions of those of great stature and accomplishment. Furthermore, the Taurus ESTJ is keen on making money and will direct much of their energy and focus on ways to get more of it. Because they are good at learning the rules of the game, they are adept at leveraging this to their advantage which may include the exploitation of loop-holes and cunning evasion tactics.

ESTJ Gemini

The ESTJ Gemini is a big mouth with an unpredictable temperament. They have the gift of gab which they use to establish professional and social connections with exceptional skill. Networking is their forte and they display strong communication skills and humor. They are vocal individuals with a sharp mind and intellect. As smart individuals who like to collect knowledge, they are likely to have a strong educational background and a desire to go far academically. The Gemini ESTJ is very inquisitive and particularly curious about other people at least where skill, status, and accomplishment is concerned. These individuals are inclined to strike up conversations with people wherever they go. They have a capacity for engaging to perfect strangers as if they were old friends. The ESTJ Gemini is likely to be an early riser and very studious. They love to read and engage their mind with knowledge and insights found only in books and stimulating conversation.
