The ESTJ personality types occur in 8.7% of the population. While there are 16 MBTI/Jung personality types, when it comes to online dating and matchmaking, not all personality types are compatible. Here are four highly compatible personality types for the ESTJ and one personality type they will find challenging. Use this guide to help find your perfect soulmate for a healthy relationship based on personality compatibility

E – Extraversion rather than Introversion:

ESTJs generally prefer interacting with a wide circle of acquaintances rather than a few close friends, and they feel energized in social situations (whereas Introverts feel uncomfortable entering a room filled with new people).

S – Sensing rather than Intuition:

ESTJs tend to be more practically minded than abstract. They focus their attention on the details rather than the big picture and on immediate realities rather than future possibilities.

T – Thinking rather than Feeling:

ESTJs tend to value objective criteria above personal preference or sentiment. When making decisions they generally give more weight to logic than to social considerations.

J – Judgment rather than Perception:

ESTJs tend to approach life in a structured way, rather than keeping options open and flexibly changing without accommodating to their structured world with discretion.

ESTJs are industrious, loyal and very insistent about following the procedure, therefore they tend to be directive and rise to positions where they provide instruction to others. They are very beneficial to society because they bring stability and preserve tradition. They are also very decisive because they are able to remember, manipulate and manage large amounts of detail. They are thorough, efficient and well organized.

Well there are 16 personality types in the Jung-Briggs system, and under that framework, these personality types should be on your short-list.

The ESTJ and ISTJ couple:

Practical and well suited. The ESTJ might be “bossy”, but the ISTJ will be quietly intransigent.

The ESTJ and ESFJ couple:

Both are outgoing and practical, the strongly opinionated ESTJ would be advised to follow the lead of their ESFJ partner in social situations. They will have much in common.

The ESTJ and ESTJ couple:

Both have very strong opinions which are probably not identical, which will make for interesting times! However it should be a good pairing, both are outgoing and practical.

The ESTJ and ISFJ couple:

Both practical types, there is a possibility that the more strongly opinionated ESTJ will overshadow the ISFJ , who will only challenge when the principles are very important to them. On the whole a good combination.
