What Do Judging and Perceiving Look Like?

Take a minute and ask yourself which of the following descriptions seems more natural, effortless, and comfortable for you?

Judging (J)

“Just do something.”

You rely upon either your T or F preference to manage your outer life. This typically leads to a style oriented towards closure, organization, planning, or in some fashion managing the things and or people found in the external environment. The drive is to order the outside world. While you may have an assertive manner, your “ordering touch”—with respect to other people—may be light.

You like to push to get things settled and decided.

You have an appreciation of well-organized efficiency.

Perceiving (P)

“Let’s wait and see.”

You rely upon either your S or N preference to run your outer life. This typically results in an open, adaptable, flexible style of relating to the things and people found in the outside world; and you quickly respond to the needs of the moment. The drive is to experience the outside world rather than order it. So, in general, you easily tolerate a lack of closure.

You strive to keep your options open so new information may be gathered.

You have an appreciation of the need for spontaneity and exploration.

I scored a 100% 'J' last time a took the test...

I'm INTP, but I think my I is slightly weak and my P also seems to be weakening a bit as I get older.

I think the whole types thing is valuable but overrated by most people who are into it. The bottom line seems to be that well developed people can do a good job developing those functions that aren't natural to them, and they will be all the more powerful for it because their natural functions have great advantages too.

He refuses to put any effort into his appearance because it's 'not practical.' I could go on and on. His main problem in life is that he's not the son of a billionaire. Otherwise he would have just become a sports car collector and be really happy all the time. The real world is anathema to him.

i was literally heckled by a carload of teenagers yesterday for walking along the sidewalk in the noonday sun holding an open oversized umbrella over my head

My INTP buddy is the worst arguer I've ever met. He can't form a cohesive argument to save his life. He thinks I'm a dick to him because I can state my case in a logical manner and defend it using researched facts. It bothers him, when he loses he claims to be misunderstood

Precise about their descriptions, INTPs will often correct others (or be sorely tempted to) if the shade of meaning is a bit off. While annoying to the less concise, this fine discrimination ability gives INTPs so inclined a natural advantage as, for example, grammarians and linguists."

On average they may tend to be more of the brief writer type though rather than spontaneous arguments in conversation.

--Total, 100% INTP who is the firm's MASTER MAN when it comes to arcane regulatory authority, procedures, etc.

He's also notoriously bad in job interviews. He often tries to talk them out of hiring him.
