Flexible-Maneuvering
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
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)
Emotivist types prioritize the emotional atmosphere in conversation, naturally working to adjust the mood, and are drawn to new experiences and feelings.
Conversation and Relationships
• Gives top priority to the emotional atmosphere, adjusting the mood and interpersonal dynamics
• May stray from the topic to keep the conversation bright and engaging
• In dialogue, first aims to create psychological safety and a comfortable ambiance

Relationship with Emotions
• Strong drive to seek new experiences and emotions: “I want to encounter the unknown”
• Rarely re-reads books or re-watches films (loses interest without new discoveries)
• When the quality of information is low, cannot respond emotionally — interest never sparks

Behavioral Tendencies
• Easily influenced by requests and invitations from others (“please do this,” “try it”) — finds it hard to refuse
• Responds flexibly to emotions, but struggles to detach from requests

Example Remarks
• “If the mood turned sour, the whole conversation feels wasted”
• “I want every trip to be somewhere different — familiar places bore me”
• “Even on the same topic, how I talk changes with the mood of the moment”
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
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”
