Well, if there was ever a type you wanted to take care of things, this is it!

ESTJ’s are practical, reliable, rule following people. I have often correlated Love Languages to types and I would bet my right arm at least 90% of ESTJ’s have one of their top Love Languages as “Acts of Service”.

Good go-to, getter-doner people. 🙂

As you know, I am sending each of the 16 cars for the next 16 weeks (we are on 14 of 16) to help you learn about each type and see if you can identify friends and family like this so you can better understand them. Type is ALL about better understanding ourselves and others so we can live our best lives and have amazing relationships!!
