Character Development Workspace: STANDARD JOE
Does the best he or she can with anything or anyone that’s available; interested in just about everything. Good at anything practical and tangible, but struggles with theoretical, intellectual, big ideas. Constantly learning, improving, practicing, asking questions, pursuing technical mastery. Requires, and often crafts, clear directions and plans. Physically active, wants to be outdoors and independent. Requires constant challenges, but knows how to let it rest.
ESTJ
Systematic, organized, relies upon facts and policies. Uses resources efficiently. Develops logical conclusions. Concrete, straightforward; requires clear specifications. Expects measurement by fair, explicit standards. Conscientious. Does not bring personal issues into the mix. Realistic. Focuses on concrete results. Enjoys action, and interaction with a variety of personalities. Takes charge easily, a role accepted by others.

ISTP
Efficient. Practices, then masters. Gathers, organizes and makes good use of data. Technical thinker, understands the underlying principles. Strong observational skills, best when these are used in connection with the practical. Superior troubleshooter and problem-solver. Respects clarity and practicality, not wild about loose, unstructured situations or people. Do it myself—I don’t need anybody looking over my shoulder. Expeditious. Prefers to go it alone, doesn’t want somebody else to watch or follow. Wide range of personal interests, all challenging. Economical, doesn’t waste time or energy.
Potential Areas of Conflict
May be a challenge junky—goes for the excitement, not the reasonable choice. Tough time with sticking-to-it. Takes shortcuts that make other people uncomfortable. Chooses when and where to be diligent, when to cut corners. Postpones making any serious decision. Often lacks direction. Procrastinates. Doesn’t see the bigger picture, doesn’t consider other people’s feelings. Too darned practical, too darned efficient, too focused on the excitement of the chase, doesn’t enjoy the proceeds because he/she is off to the next adrenaline rush.
