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
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”
Yielding types treat their resources as sacred and inviolable, while treating interests and aims as things that can flexibly change.
Core Values
• Resources (possessions and abilities) are sacred and inviolable
• Interests (aims and desires) can flexibly change

Behavior and Psychology
• Cleanly gives up what cannot be done: “if I can’t do it, I lose interest”
• Adjusts interests and goals to available resources: “looks interesting, but it’s beyond me right now”
• Shares interests and curiosities openly in conversation
• Extremely sensitive to intrusions on their possessions and bodily resources (time, space, money, stamina)
• Usually calm, but reacts fiercely when someone barges in uninvited

Example Remarks
• “Even if it interests me, if I can’t do it I won’t”
• “My interests shift with the resources I have”
• “I avoid from the start what is beyond me”
• “Interests can change; my belongings and time are non-negotiable”
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”
