 Personality Type & Relationships through the MBTI
ESTJ
Guardians Protectors

ESTJs tend to:

• want to be part of leading the relationship
• be practical & realistic in making decisions
• protect those they love, which can be misinterpreted as authoritative by their partner
• see it as their duty to tell their partner or children what to do as a way of protecting them
• want to be responsible & provide stability in the relationship
• express romance for more practical reasons (although they can be romantic, they will be more practical about it.)
• expect sex as a way of making peace, regarding it as separate from or unconnected to an argument
• sexually robust, enthusiastic, and athletic
• trust their thoughts & beliefs. Therefore, they may continue to express their thoughts believing that if they make themselves clear enough, others will surely see, & agree to their point
• set high standards for themselves and their romantic partner
• give approval and affirmation when they are happy or impressed with their mate’s behavior. (which can be trusted as they value truth & honesty at all costs)
• gladly perform their duties in life, and want to be appreciated for doing so.
• commit for life. Never lose their energy for commitment & protecting those they love

ESTJs value in their partners & children:

• loyalty and commitment
• demonstrations of respect
• cooperation
• balance and management of emotions
• punctually
• warmth
• appreciation for who they are
• obedience to the established and agreed upon family rules and values
• honesty; as facts and truth are critical for their understanding and ability to function
• gratitude – This is the greatest gift that their mates can give them.
