My father is an ESTJ, and I think I have posted on this forum before, about a stress episode he experienced a few months back, where he basically had a nervous breakdown because he put a nail through a water pipe in our house. He had put so much effort into the house that it had become a part of him, and he felt that pain like a pierced vein.
A guy at work who has pretty much been stalking me experienced a stress episode after I didn't receive an inappropriate present in the way he expected. He is an ESTJ. He was coming in saying that everyone else in the office was in a terrible mood, when they were not, and complaining of being ill when he was fine.
It seems to me that this personality type, when stressed, undergoes a divorce between their own perception of self and reality. They cannot deal with what is going on inside them, but because it must take place, they project it onto external objects or people, and they see it all around them, but they cannot feel it, or maintain any level of objectivity.
A strange phenomenon.
