Talk:ESTJ

message: I just deleted the descriptions on all of these personality types.  A lot of them were copyvios from different sources, several of them being from http://www.geocities.com/lifexplore/ , where they may or may not have been copied from other locations.  Nonetheless, the three theories of MBTI, Keirsey Temperaments, and Socionics are quite different and require different descriptions of types, functions, relations, and other concepts.  Socionics especially differs from the other two.  The three theories should all be expanded upon in Wikipedia, but it is impossible to do this while there is a conglomeration of these three theories and they are treated as one and the same.

thread_title:  Type Descriptions 

message: I created templates for text that's the same across all 16 MBTI type articles to eliminate the hours of work it takes to update the same text 16 times. This is a recommended use for templates according to Wikipedia policy WM:TEMP. 
To edit the templates: 
1. Click the Edit link on the section of the article you want to change. 
2. Select and copy the title of the template page (the text between the double braces). 
3. Paste the copied text into the Wikipedia search box and press Go (not Search). 
This will take you to the template. Make sure that the changes you make to the templates are appropriate for all 16 MBTI type articles! (ENFJ, ISTP, etc.) ThreeOfCups (talk) 03:33, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

message: The MBTI, Keirsey Temperament Sorter, and related Jung Typology assessments use the original spelling, Extraversion, rather than the modern corruption, Extroversion. In this context, Extraversion is jargon and should be thus spelled. ThreeOfCups (talk) 15:04, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

* Donald Rumsfeld 13th and 21st United States Secretary of Defense, extrovert, very high self-esteem, sensing, judgeing, straight body posture

replies: text: Moved   this section under Characteristics and  used only Keirsey examples.   Keirsey's theory is based on behavior, which  is observable, while the   MBTI is based on cognitive functions, that is,  how people prefer to  use  their minds. It is unethical for MBTI  practitioners to speculate  about  a person's type according to the  principle of "own best fit."   Moreover, MBTI practitioner websites are  grossly inconsistent in their   conclusions. This sort of unencyclopedic  speculation has no place on   Wikipedia.

message: For a discussion about the logo and border color, see Talk:Myers-Briggs Type Indicator#Remove or keep the fancy logos from the articles?. Please don't make a significant change to the logo or border color without discussing it there first. ThreeOfCups (talk) 19:38, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Logo and border color 

message: The other recreational pseudo-psychology systems Socionics and Enneagram of Personality have only a single article. In the meantime it would be beneficial to remove the references of "notable persons of this personality type" seeing as the Myers–Briggs_Type_Indicator is make-believe. 104.228.101.152 (talk) 02:12, 14 November 2018 (UTC)
