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
Static types perceive the world as a collection of states, attending to stability and inherent qualities rather than change.
• Tends to perceive the world as “states” rather than continuous processes
• Attends to stability and inherent qualities rather than change
• Remembers events not as a continuous flow but as independent scenes and moments
• Values the fixed structure of states and relationships
• Attends to simultaneity (“what existed at that moment”) rather than cause and effect

Characteristic Behaviors and Cognition
• Recalls memories as still images and discrete scenes
• Strong awareness of frameworks — relationships, rules, values
• Emphasizes grasping the present state, the “here and now”
• Tends to find stability and essence in repetition
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
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”
