Rationality is a perceptual style focused on action and will — decision-making and the expression of emotion.
• Tends to plan ahead and decide early
• Strong-willed; may appear stubborn
• Reluctant to change what has been decided
• Strong tendency to see things through to the end
• Movements appear firm and controlled
• Leadership tends to be somewhat authoritative (top-down)
• Stress tolerance is relatively low
Dynamic types perceive the world as a continuous flow of change, attending to transitions, progressions, and direction.
• Tends to perceive the world as a continuous process of change and flux
• Attends to transitions, progressions, and the direction things are heading
• Remembers events as narratives and flows
• Sensitive to processes and fluidity unfolding over time
• Attends less to states themselves than to how things have changed (past → future)

Characteristic Behaviors and Cognition
• Recalls memories as moving, video-like sequences
• Sensitive to changes in people and situations, flexibly adjusting behavior and judgment
• Predicts what will happen next from the drift of the situation
• Interested in the tendencies and direction of ongoing change rather than what is fixed
Decisive types are naturally in an action-ready state: they decide quickly, push through in one burst, and adjust while already in motion.
Basic Characteristics
• Natural state: combat mode (ready to move)
• Adjusts while in motion (decide quickly → proceed → adjust as needed)
• Tries to finish things in one burst, sustaining concentration for long stretches
• Even after finishing, cannot immediately relax; switching gears takes time
• Focuses on execution and results, paying little attention to the preparation phase
• Values rewards, outcomes, and results (e.g., the amount of compensation)

Typical Phrases
• “Let’s just do it and think later”
• “Once it’s decided, there’s nothing to do but do it”
• “Forget the preparation, let’s move”
• “We can rest once it’s finished”
• “Decide too slowly and everything falls apart”

Behavioral Features
• Consciously remembers and is aware of the moment of decision
• Values the quality and completion of execution over preparation
• A long-focus type who easily becomes absorbed in one thing
• Poor at resting; needs external stimulation (entertainment, etc.) to switch off
Merry types naturally read emotional atmospheres, treat fun as its own element, and weigh subjective standpoints over absolute correctness.
Emotions and Relationships
• Naturally reads emotional atmospheres; sensitive to the mood of a setting
• Can treat “fun” as an element independent of the activity itself
• Builds relationships naturally without formality, as long as the purpose is clear
• Places little weight on formal information such as names and titles

Worldview and Judgment Style
• Values subjective standards over absolute correctness
• Tries to understand others’ ways of thinking by comparing them with their own
• Believes “correctness” differs according to each person’s standpoint
• Strong tendency to present their own way of seeing the world and their own frameworks (concepts)

Behavioral Tendencies
• Rather than “you should do this,” proposes “you could also look at it this way”
• What they enjoy is involvement, excitement, participation — different from passive entertainment
• When curious about someone’s behavior, first asks “why did they do that?”

Speech and Vocabulary
• Speaks from an explicitly subjective stance: “as I understand it,” “from my point of view,” “this is how it felt to me”
• Considers aligning definitions and terms an important part of conversation and debate

Ethical types tend to lean toward subjectivism (Merry)
Constructivist types minimize emotional expression in conversation, prioritizing practical, concrete topics and stabilizing their feelings through familiar “emotional anchors.”
Conversation and Relationships
• Minimizes emotional expression in conversation, prioritizing practical and concrete topics
• Tries to skip emotional exchanges: “Let’s get straight to the conclusion”
• Values problem-solving and proposals over attending to the other person’s mood

Relationship with Emotions
• Repeatedly uses “emotional anchors” (favorite places, films, books, etc.) to stabilize their own emotions
• Once caught in an emotion, tends to dwell on it for a long time — and therefore avoids negative feelings
• Re-experiences films and music to recreate feelings that were good

Behavioral Tendencies
• Prefers connecting through practical activities rather than emotional dialogue
• Finds it hard to keep distance from other people’s feelings and worries (draws them into themselves)

Example Remarks
• “Rather than comfort, I want a concrete solution”
• “Even if a film isn’t great, a scene that makes me cry stays with me”
• “I avoid tearjerkers because I’m afraid of getting emotional”
Carefree types make decisions on the fly based on available information and current circumstances, trusting their ability to adapt in the moment.
Characteristics
• Makes flexible, on-the-spot judgments based on current information and circumstances
• Constructs a new approach (algorithm) for each problem as it arises
• Values adapting in the moment over preparing in advance
• The path to a solution is naturally contained in their answers (without explaining every step)
• Operates from the basic stance that predicting everything is impossible
• Prioritizes what can be done right here and now over past knowledge or broad background

Speech Tendencies
• “It’ll work out somehow” “This will do for now” “I’ll figure it out when it happens”
• “Even if I prepare, I’ll forget anyway” “I’ll manage on the spot”

Examples (preparing for a trip)
• “I’ll pack only the bare essentials and travel light”
• “Entertainment and fun can be found once I get there”
• “I’ll find out what I need when I’m there — so I can’t prepare for everything”
Obstinate types treat their interests and aims as sacred and inviolable, while treating resources as flexible tools.
Core Values
• Interests (aims and passions) are sacred and inviolable
• Resources (possessions and abilities) are flexible tools to be used

Behavior and Psychology
• When interested, does not give up even without the resources: “if I lack them, I’ll work until I have them”
• Strong attachment and sense of identity toward their interests, tastes, and principles
• Not much bothered when others use their possessions or time, but reacts strongly against intrusions on their values
• Prone to reject outside pushes and suggestions of interests (“why not try this?”)

Example Remarks
• “If resources are short, I’ll find a way to make up for them”
• “If I gave up my interests that easily, I would fall apart”
• “No matter how busy I am, I can’t cut what I love”
• “I don’t want others steering my interests”
Process types move through things sequentially and in stages, immersing themselves deeply in whatever is under way.
Key Characteristics
• Moves through things sequentially and in stages
• Once committed, finds it hard to stop midway
• Easily becomes immersed in a process, entering the situation itself
• A single-tasker who concentrates on one thing at a time
• Tends to read books and information in order from the beginning

Speech Tendencies and Vocabulary
• Prefers words like “flow,” “process,” “step by step,” “in progress”
• Says things like “I’m still in the middle of it,” “once I stop I can’t get back in”

Behavioral Tendencies
• Values the coherence of what is under way more than completion
• Struggles to resume work that was interrupted
• The type who “can’t stop” once a game or a task has begun
Negativist types perceive the world through what is missing or lacking, and are driven to detect problems and gaps and resolve them.
Cognitive and Expressive Tendencies
• Perceives things through “what is missing” and “what falls short”
• Quick to spot problems, defects, and unmet goals — and wants to resolve them
• Keeps some distance at first meetings, judging cautiously
• Uses negative expressions more than affirmative ones (“it’s not...,” “it doesn’t...”)
• When presenting an issue, enters from the negative side: “this is good, but this is lacking”

Examples (negative framing)
• “This glass is half empty”
• “We’re still $62,000 short”
• “I think that’s wrong, because...”
Aristocratic types tend to perceive people through groups (social categories, professions, attributes). First impressions and relationships are often based on how they evaluate the group a person seems to belong to.
• Tends to perceive others through labels and group affiliations such as “from such-and-such a place” or “someone from that field”
• Emphasizes hierarchy and position within groups, and the distinction between “us” and “outsiders”
• Frequently uses phrases like “that person is a typical representative of such-and-such”
• Friendships and trust are influenced by how they evaluate the group a person seems to belong to
• Comfortable with self and others being described in terms of social roles and positions
• Strong sense of “our group” and “our circle”
・Assertive.
・Restless.
・Hard to relax unless tired.
・Gait tends to be fast, "purposeful," and somewhat rigid.
・"Calmly energetic" with relatively little fluctuation in energy levels throughout the day.
・Tends to move restlessly when forced into inactivity for extended periods.
EJ (Extroverted Judger) is dynamic and rational, perceiving reality as continuously and gradually, often imperceptibly, changing. At the same time, EJ holds their own view of what reality "should" be. This creates a tendency to act quickly, usually through the leading function, to maintain or realize the state things should be in before the change grows too large.
As an extrovert, EJ tends to feel responsible for initiating contact with others in the context of establishing or maintaining relationships. However, this does not necessarily mean they act on it; sometimes they wish others would take on this role.
