If there's something that needs to be done, you're the first one to act. Practicality is your middle name, and you don't have patience for hysterics and drama. And yet, you don't do things in the background like the I's, oh no. My mother is an ESTJ...and she let me know up front that she'd clean my room if I didn't, but all the little knick-knacks I collect and anything else she considered superfluous was fair game for the garbage if it became her project. You've got a core of steel, but it's tempered with the slightest bit of indulgence. You'll stand beside those you love and care about no matter what stupid things they get themselves into...but that won't stop you from telling them exactly how stupid you think their actions were. You're like a warrior wielding the sword of efficiency. Loyal, steadfast, and strong, it's no wonder you're successful at whatever you set your mind to. You can just be terrifying sometimes >.> it doesn't matter than my mom is 5'2... no matter what the size, an ESTJ's calm, cool resolve hides a temper that can snap a man in half. -BIG HUG-

Oh my goodness, my ESTJ mother threatens me with the same thing
>.> It's been a month....but I just had to add this in... It doesn't matter how old I get, I still flinch when my mom gets "The Tone" when scolding the grandkids. Even though I'm an ENFP, I do take on ESTJ traits at times...generally when something needs to get done and there's no one else capable of doing it. >< I had a friend who got sick after drinking too much...and her husband is super squeamish about that kind of thing. The other person over discovered she's also got a weak stomach when it comes to other people's stomach contents. I'm usually pretty grossed out by that kind of thing too, but knowing I was the only one capable of cleaning it up, I suddenly slipped into ESTJ mode and got to work without a word.
I also can get "THE TONE" sometimes when addressing my nieces and nephews... and I think I once gave "The Look" to a stranger's kid when I worked at a retail store. >.> This lady was ignoring her little boy while he was a holy terror. She came into the beauty department, where I work, and was asking me questions. Out of the corner of my eye, I see the kid grab a handful of applicators out of one of the trays. Completely unconsciously, I shot him "THE LOOK" and his eyes got all big as he very carefully returned the applicators to their tray and proceeded to stand still and be a good little boy. >.> Then his mother decided it was time to leave... -shrug- Not like I yelled at the kid or backhanded him or anything.
Even though I love being an ENFP....I think I like having the ESTJ switch on occasion.

That's me in a nutshell! I can't help but think of the saying "No one beats up my little brother but me." Your summation is definitely and undeniably true of this ESTJ.
yeah... i love estjs... even though they're so meticulous! I'm just glad I'm her friend... keeps me on track...
I love how they're so insensitive and not emotionally draining. I don't really have to worry about hurting feelings or playing hero. All I really have to do as a friend is support her, do a lot of listening, and stick to how she does things. LOL. HUG!
That's funny that your mom is an ESTJ because I am ESTJ with an ENFP mother, and her father is an ESTJ, so who knows, you might end up like my mom and have an ESTJ for a child. I would say that probably softens the ESTJ quite a bit. I'm pretty much a ESTJ that has a lot of idealistic values and a little more feeling because of the people around me constantly telling me to soften up and be less critical.
People are people. There are good and bad for every type, I just choose to believe that the good outweighs the bad....people just tend to focus on the negative. ^_^
