What are the cognitive functions for ESTJ and what do they mean?
The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) is a widely used personality assessment tool basing it’s conscious cognitive functions on Carl Jung's theories of psychological types. The original test was developed by Katharine Cook Briggs and her daughter Isabel Briggs Myers during the mid-20th century.
The MBTI framework is built upon four pairs of dichotomies, resulting in 16 possible personality types. Extraversion (E) vs. Introversion (I), Sensing (S) vs. iNtuition (N), Thinking (T) vs. Feeling (F), and Judging (J) vs. Perceiving (P).
Later on, other psychologists and researchers have added to the original Carl Jung framework alongside Katharine Cook Briggs and Isabel Briggs Myers, such as the psychologist John Beebe and author Linda Berens. Beebe and Berens have developed what is known as the shadow cognitive functions which are the parts of one’s personality which often arise under stress or during times of personal growth.

5 Brain Research
An ESTJ’s brain, as researched in Dario Nardi’s university research lab, shows:
A full breakdown of the regions can be seen here:
6 Similar but Different
INTJ: Ni-Te-Fi-Se
INTJ likes what ENTP likes in the same amounts but for different reasons.
(Ne-Ti-Fe-Si vs Ni-Te-Fi-Se).
ISFJ: Si-Fe-Ti-Ne
ENTP appreciates ISFJ for wanting to do what they naturally want to avoid doing.
(3rd-4th tier weaknesses Si-Fe-Ti-Ne).
ESFP: Se-Fi-Te-Ni.
ENTP appreciates ESFP for their skills being the total polar opposite to theirs and vice versa.
(7th-8th tier weaknesses Ne-Ti-Fe-Si-Ni-Te-Fi-Se vs Se-Fi-Te-Ni-Si-Fe-Ti-Ne).
