ESTJ characters are passionate individuals who are reliable in their respective groups and always deliver results. These extroverted law abiding citizens are logical thinkers and know how to handle people. They are stern and make everyone listen to their opinion no matter the surrounding. From movies to anime and more, we have received accurate depictions of these personality types in the form of Hermoine Granger, Nobara Kugisaki and Nancy Wheeler.
Let us take a look at some of the best ESTJ characters seen in fiction in recent times.
Best ESTJ Characters In Fiction
The full form of ESTJ means Extraverted, Sensing, Thinking and Judgement. These personality types have leadership qualities and are frontrunners in tasks. They are also great learners. ESTJ or the Executive Personality types are honest and do not lack the self-confidence either, making them the ideal leader in any situation.
6. Monica Geller
Monica is one of the most flawed characters from F.R.I.E.N.D.S but that is what makes her so likeable. Her heavy OCD and controlling traits make her an ESTJ who always ensures that once she picks up a task, she never moves away from it. In addition to that, she always puts her friends first and wants what is best for them which often leads her to trouble.
Aside from that, she possesses leadership qualities and a sensitive personality which is the perfect and ideal combination you want in a friend.
5. Nobara Kugisaki
Jujutsu Kaisen has received a great deal of attention in the anime world for the past few years and while most of it has been due to how gory it is, some have been due to the characters. Nobara Kugisaki is one of those characters. On the surface, she might seem like a confident girl who can only cares about herself but deep down she is a team player.
Nobara is chaotic and matches Yuji’s energy but can also be serious when she needs to. Her flexibility is what makes her one of the best sorcerors. She can come up with solutions on the fly even through she might be outmatched, she tries her best.
4. Nancy Wheeler
Stranger Things might not be the best Netflix show anymore but its characters have had beautiful redemption arcs. Aside from Steve Harrington, Nancy Wheeler has seen a lot of development in the series. She has evolved from a girl who doesn’t know how to communicate her feelings properly to someone who takes control of situations and knows what to do next.
She speaks directly and is honest about her feelings towards people, which might be considered bad in some cases but it works in hers.
3. Hori Kyoko
Hori is one of the best characters in a slice of life anime series because she is flawed. She likes to take control of situations, has a hot temper but tries to help everyone she can despite of who they are. That is one of the reasons why she started interacting with Izumi in the first place. Although, she might not be the leader you look for first, you will be just fine if you are stuck with her.
2. Vegeta
Vegeta is undoubtedly everyone’s favorite Dragon Ball Z character and for good reason. He might be stern and prideful but when the time comes, he always puts the need of others before his, especially towards the end of the Buu Saga. Eventually, Vegeta becomes a team player and realizes his competition isn’t with Goku but with himself.
During his early years, he was aggressive, vengeful and brutal. After being a father, he has learned to be more tactful and patient. Vegeta has no qualms about being an aristocrat but for the ones he cares for, he will go above and beyond to protect and save, as we saw in the “Final Atonement.”
1. Kratos
While the Kratos of the original God of War trilogy would have been unfit for this category, the one we see in the Norse Mythology saga does. Kratos has evolved from a violent and murderous God of War to a God of Hope who has seen it all in his journey and possesses the wisdom to lead an entire army against Asgard. His leadership quality, extroverted but quiet nature and battle tactics ensured that the tyranny of Odin ended.
Kratos is one of the best characters to ever grace the gaming screen and is for sure one of the best examples of an ESTJ character done right.
There are many more personality types exhibited in various genres of fiction. INTJs are the most popular when it comes to relatability with the fans. You can check out some of the best INTJ characters in fiction by visiting this page.
