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
Judicious types are naturally in a relaxed state: they organize and prepare before acting, and proceed step by step at their own pace.
Basic Characteristics
• Natural state: relaxed
• Gets ready before acting (preparation → action)
• Proceeds step by step with breaks, rather than all at once
• Finds it hard to start acting without external stimulation
• Emphasis on thinking and organizing; decisions and execution happen automatically, as a natural flow
• Values the environment and ease of working (freedom, comfort) over results
• Attention goes to the preparation phase; the moment of decision stays vague

Typical Phrases
• “I haven’t decided yet, but it’ll work out”
• “I want to get things in order before I start”
• “The thinking stage is the most important part”
• “I’ll move once the motivation comes”
• “When the timing comes, it will happen naturally”

Behavioral Features
• Tries to model things before moving
• Decisions feel prompted by circumstances, made because they had to be
• Top priority on working in a way that allows rest, at their own pace
• “I don’t remember when I decided” “I was just sort of doing it”
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”
Farsighted types draw on accumulated experience and knowledge to prepare thoroughly in advance, believing that preparation is the key to success.
Characteristics
• Leverages past experience and knowledge to prepare in advance
• Utilizes established methods, rules, and accumulated know-how
• Believes that preparation is the key to success
• Explains how they arrived at their conclusions, including the background and information-gathering process
• Considers many possibilities before taking a single action
• Finds reassurance in preparing for contingencies

Speech Tendencies
• “Judging from past examples...” “Last time it went like this, so...”
• “Just in case...” “This case could come up, so let’s prepare like this”

Examples (preparing for a trip)
• “It went wrong last time, so this time I’ll bring spare batteries and a charger”
• “I don’t want to look things up on site, so I research in advance”
• “Before a trip I always check the weather forecast and the local language”
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”
Result types take a bird’s-eye view oriented toward outcomes and goals, with clear beginnings and endings.
Key Characteristics
• Views things from above, oriented toward results and goals
• Conscious of the boundaries between beginning and end
• Does not immerse deeply in the process; handles several things in parallel
• Tends to skim or read for key points
• A top-down type: grasps the whole first, then moves to details

Speech Tendencies and Vocabulary
• Frequent words: “result,” “goal,” “beginning and end,” “milestone,” “outlook”
• Reactions like “so what does it come to?” “is that the end of it?”

Behavioral Tendencies
• What matters is where things arrive, more than how they proceed
• Feels strong discomfort and irritation with work whose end is not in sight
• A multitasker who manages several tasks in parallel
Positivist types perceive the world through what exists and what has been achieved, and seek to optimize and polish what is already in place.
Cognitive and Expressive Tendencies
• Perceives things as “what exists” and “what has been realized”
• Seeks to optimize and refine what is already there
• Relatively open and affirmative at first meetings
• Uses affirmative expressions more than negative ones (“can do,” “there is”)
• Even when pointing out a problem, adds an affirmation: “we have this, but we also have that”

Examples (affirmative framing)
• “This glass is half full”
• “We’ve already raised $438,000”
• “On this point, I think you’re right”
Democratic types perceive others through their individual, unique characteristics. Relationships form around personal closeness and empathy; labels and stereotypes are viewed with reluctance.
• Sees others not as “a certain type of person” but focuses on their individual characteristics
• Judges through personal, direct impressions: “approachable,” “intelligent,” “interesting”
• Relationships are based on one-on-one compatibility and shared values rather than group belonging
• “Being who I am” matters most — individualist by nature
• Shows little interest in topics like “where is this person from?”
• Rarely uses expressions like “I represent such-and-such”
・Assertive.
・Restless.
・Hard to relax unless tired.
・Gait tends to be fast, "purposeful," and somewhat rigid.

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.
