Irrationality is a perceptual style focused on sensory impressions, intuitive flashes, and sensitivity to the states of body and mind.
• Tends to act improvisationally, watching how the situation unfolds
• Generally flexible and tolerant
• May change decisions frequently
• Takes on many things but may lose interest and drop them midway
• Movements appear smooth and soft
• Leadership tends to be democratic (bottom-up)
• Stress tolerance is relatively high
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
Serious types believe in objective, absolute standards of correctness and approach encounters and relationships through step-by-step, formal processes.
Emotions and Relationships
• Has difficulty reading emotional atmospheres and subtle moods
• Does not separate fun from activity — enjoyment is embedded within the activity itself
• Encounters must pass through step-by-step, formal processes (e.g., greetings and introductions)
• Values information such as names and titles; without a proper introduction, does not consider someone an acquaintance

Worldview and Judgment Style
• Believes correctness is determined by objective, absolute standards
• Personal opinions and experience matter, but beyond them there is “an answer that holds in general”
• In discussion, presents “the correct method” itself rather than their own view

Behavioral Tendencies
• Asks “who did it?” rather than “why did they do it?”
• When a mistake bothers them, would rather redo it themselves than explain
• Tends to believe there is a single correct answer for methods and actions

Speech and Vocabulary
• Frequent objective assertions: “this way is the most efficient,” “this is not correct”
• Rarely negotiates concepts; assumes a “correct definition” already exists
• When explaining actions, relies on examples and marks right and wrong explicitly

Logical types tend to lean toward objectivism (Serious)
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”
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”
・Relaxed.
・Goes with the flow.
・Easily spends long periods doing nothing or at very low energy levels.
・Movements are flexible and unhurried.
・Little tendency to move restlessly even during prolonged periods of inactivity.
IP (Introverted Perceiver) is dynamic and irrational, perceiving reality as continuously and gradually, often imperceptibly, changing. IP finds comfort in this, viewing reality through their leading function. This leads to a relaxed tendency to accept things as they are and adapt to them.
As an introvert, IP is relaxed about initiating relationships with others and tends to be somewhat passive. They primarily assume that others will take the initiative.
