That's right. This is a brag thread. Talk about all the things you enjoy/admire/like/respect about ESTjs here. Anecdotes are welcome, as well as what you admire/enjoy/like/respect about the type in general. Ready? Set. GO!

I think ESTj females are the hottest people in the world.
Maybe the cyborg might be more apt of the Te subtypes (though I think the allusion itself is somewhat disenchanting). As for those of the Si persuasion, I'm afraid it can't really be said to apply.
However, on the issue of their personal magnetism, I fall under the sway.

I find LSE's cool. Despite what most n00bs think, they're quite friendly and agreeable. They're usually not super empathetic (unless S+), but they're communicable and sweet.
They're not mean or arrogant, unlike their Beta ST "cousins". I don't really like such misconceptions about LSE's. I think, they're as friendly as LII's.
I'm having a blast with my LSE S/O. But I have to say he comes off as kinda arrogant; he even admits others find him so.
Pragmatic but silly, hard-working both at work and in bed ... focused on appearing competent but also willing to tickle-wrestle ...

Well, I'd like to take this opportunity to appreciate how great I am. I could list a lot of reasons, but I'll be a little modest.
Mmm

Haven't been one of these in a minute. IEEs and SLIs, what do you like about LSEs? Other types, feel free to contribute! EIIs, this is your thread!
What I appreciate about LSEs:
- Stable
- Appreciate enjoyable company
- Seek people out and initiate contact
- Really productive and focused on bettering themselves
- Great when I need advice
- Care about those weaker than themselves
- Able to appreciate other people's strengths
- Give thorough explanations
- Passionate about areas of concern, not trying to play it cool like they "don't care"
- Can debate without getting feelings involved or engaging in character assassination
- Not withdrawn, and don't withhold
- Like to gently tease, can take my awkward teasing
- Know how to gently push boundaries
- See what works and what doesn't, and promote effective behaviors
- Don't act bored and petulant
- Just do it, pitching in and helping
- Make me feel comfortable
- Can just be, talking or not talking
- Idealistic
- Don't try to make me feel anything, but are comfortable with my natural feelings
- Really want to know things
- Can do tedious things if they need doing, and don't make me do them

oh...
I agree with the list you've made Danielle especially this :
Can debate without getting feelings involved or engaging in character assassination
I've witnessed an enraged LSE teacher who screamed at a student for 20 min in a raw without getting personnal. A professionnal assassination I may say.
I won't elaborate, the more I appreciate someone, the least likely I am to praise him/her, well, not so directly. (sorry for the bad grammar ^^ )
it's like I am taking all inside me, then summon it and smile.
and so, to you, LSEs.
My LSE cousin is about to go into the LAPD academy. What I like most about him is he will always have your back. His humor always involves his penis in someones butt which most people dont understand. He loves watching UFC, SNL and WWE 24/7. He is athletic and works out everyday. He pretty much has everything going for him. He suggests I should become a cop too which makes me laugh.
ISTP - SERIOUSLY, i dont give a ****
mhm
LSEs are wonderful people.
Ceci n'est pas une eii.

Such a good thing to have a LSE nearby... so everyone think the LSE is the pervert, while the NFs laugh their lungs out
They seem to be some of the best at finding out how organizations or systems of work can be improved. One LSE I know constantly is finding new ways to be more efficient and solving problems, some that other people don't even see, and it helps her job, and her students, and other students at the school, immensely. Streamlining processes, coming up with informational sheets for complex school bureaucratic situations - the drive for wanting their environment to be working well can make them huge assets to whatever group they are a part of.
There's this one time I was playing a basketball pick up game at the university with some friends, and we were up against these three guys. One of them was this ~6'4" huge, ripped LSE who thought he was such a badass, saying stuff that was supposed to intimidate me, but it ended up making me laugh in his face. He would say the lamest intimidation lines, like "BRING IT!!!!! COME ON!!!!" . I really didn't take the match seriously because of that. It's one of those times where I wish we would have been friends, so that I wouldn't get potentially beaten up for making fun, especially since this guy seemed like a wannabe tough guy.

Hi! I'm an ENFP. :-)
My uncle is an LSE and his INFj cousin recently lost all his money due to gambling, and then he lost his job along with having two kids and a wife to take care of. My LSE uncle, being pretty wealthy took him and hired him to do chores in his house, and paying him to support his wife and kids.
I don't know what it is about LSEs/ESEs that makes me compelled to tease them frequently, or at least hope to get to that comfort level to do so freely . Then again, I do like to joke around with people in general.
Concerning the OP, I honestly don't have much to say, and it's not because I don't appreciate them. In fact, I rarely participate in type appreciation threads... Maybe it has to do with being an introvert and finding it hard (or not seeing the need) to express what I have internalized as being "normal." Well, there are a few things that come to mind now. One is that it means a lot to me when I'm working in a group setting, and they are really on the ball in terms of helping and carrying their load. The other one which is actually related to this is that they are able to work on so many things, that they can actually be overworked without them knowing, which makes them all the more endearing. I know this LSE woman who basically does so many things that some people joke that she's on crack or something. I've always wondered why her husband would even let her work to that crazy level, since it's obviously affecting her capacity.
There's also something about Te types and the way they handle relationships with people they care about that is very attractive to me. If there is a problem, LSEs try to resolve it in concrete ways. I know this last paragraph sound lame, almost seems like I just took a Te definition, but I couldn't put it any simpler .
Who would randomly post things like that on a forum?
What was the one I posted a lot? Let me see if I can find it.
Since I have a new dual I'd like to offer my appreciation.
Thank you for keeping your attention out for my activities. When I get involved in a hobby and my Si is activated, I can sink in the moment and relax a bit too much, and you remind me "Don't you have to go to work?" what I should be doing. No one will appreciate it more than I do. Te-external activity of objects
You keep me steady on task as you "watch over me" and make sure I don't waste energy at the wrong moments and make sure I don't get scattered or taken up on an unnecessary journey when you say "It's too early for that." You JUDGED correctly and even got me to laugh about it No one appreciates it as much as I do.

Dual type (as per tcaudilllg)
Enneagram 5 (wings either 4 or 6)?
I'm constantly looking to align the real with the ideal.I've been more oriented toward being overly idealistic by expecting the real to match the ideal. My thinking side is dominent. The result is that sometimes I can be overly impersonal or self-centered in my approach, not being understanding of others in the process and simply thinking "you should do this" or "everyone should follor this rule"..."regardless of how they feel or where they're coming from"which just isn't a good attitude to have. It is a way, though, to give oneself an artificial sense of self-justification. LSE
