ESTJs' mantra of "hard work, tradition, respect" is best exemplified in their relationships with their children. In many ways, people with the ESTJ personality type are the classic 50's era father figure – very strict, and guardians of family traditions who have no trouble when it comes to enforcing the rules and standards they've established. Often seen as model citizens, ESTJs expect their children to carry that image, continuing the example they've set by being polite and respectful – insubordination is not tolerated.
