In my MBTI® Certification workshops participants respond to the instruction – “Describe your type using words, phrases, or pictures.” I find these visual representations of type preferences help illustrate individual differences.

Here is a photo of a response from a group with ESTJ personality type preferences.

Notice the numbered points and clear/short descriptors. People who prefer ESTJ typically use their dominant function, Extraverted Thinking (Te) to quickly and efficiently complete tasks and goals. To accomplish this, they like to be organized, structured, and logical.

They complement their expedience by using their auxiliary function, Introverted Sensing (Si), internally. They pay attention to relevant facts and details of the situation and reflect on, then replicate, what worked well in the past.

You may also enjoy looking at how other ESTJ groups have completed this illustration of type exercise.

If you are interested in seeing how people with different type preferences complete this exercise, check out the Illustrations of Type series.
