ESTJ

ESTJ's are highly responsible people who work well in hierarchies found in most large organizations. They like to organize complex activities and are undaunted by large tasks, especially those that require action rather than theorizing. ESTJ's are comfortable managing others, but do not usually enjoy writing—they may find it too abstract or passive. However, ESTJ's tend to persevere in any task they undertake, so they will stay with the writing assignment. They generally prefer writing about concrete topics, such as how-to guides.

Below are some of the advantages and challenges ESTJ's face when writing:

Strengths	Challenges
Don’t need inspiration to proceed. Work fast. Meet deadlines. Good at taking a stand and presenting strong arguments. Excel at writing instructions and technical procedures with a practical focus. Like working with data and real-life experiences where they can express their opinions, such as an accident report.	May lack a focus until the writing is done. Drafts often need extensive revisions. Result may be rushed and quality may suffer. May come on too strong and say things too harshly. Less successful with personal narratives or fiction. May miss the bigger picture or ignore the broader implications of the specific instances.
