★ Weaknesses

• Rigidity and Stubbornness - In the pursuit of efficiency, ESTJs often turn a blind eye to other strategies that may be more effective. They are skeptical of new methods before they are proven, and are unwilling to trust an unproven idea for a long time, let alone put it into practice easily.

• Inflexibility - ESTJs tend to stick to set plans and procedures, and are less adaptable to unexpected events or changes. They are skeptical of change and uncomfortable with uncertainty, which can prevent them from adapting to new situations or requirements.

• Being overly opinionated: ESTJs often display confidence and decisiveness, and are convinced that their own opinions and methods are correct. This tendency can cause them to be overly determined in their positions and unwilling to accept suggestions or opinions from others, which can lead to conflicts with others.

• Being overly concerned with social status - ESTJs take pride in respecting their friends, co-workers, and community, and although they may not want to admit it, they care deeply about public opinion. This can cause them to get caught up in meeting the expectations of others and not meeting their own needs.

• Difficulty in Relaxation - ESTJs' need for dignity has cultivated their rigorous attitude, which may make it difficult for them to relax and enjoy themselves, and they worry about losing control or appearing unprofessional, even in relaxed situations.

• Not paying enough attention to emotions and human touch - ESTJs usually pay more attention to facts and logic, and pay relatively less attention to emotions and human touch. This may cause them to ignore the emotional needs of others in interpersonal communication, appear indifferent or lack sympathy.
