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
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)
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”
Carefree types make decisions on the fly based on available information and current circumstances, trusting their ability to adapt in the moment.
Characteristics
• Makes flexible, on-the-spot judgments based on current information and circumstances
• Constructs a new approach (algorithm) for each problem as it arises
• Values adapting in the moment over preparing in advance
• The path to a solution is naturally contained in their answers (without explaining every step)
• Operates from the basic stance that predicting everything is impossible
• Prioritizes what can be done right here and now over past knowledge or broad background

Speech Tendencies
• “It’ll work out somehow” “This will do for now” “I’ll figure it out when it happens”
• “Even if I prepare, I’ll forget anyway” “I’ll manage on the spot”

Examples (preparing for a trip)
• “I’ll pack only the bare essentials and travel light”
• “Entertainment and fun can be found once I get there”
• “I’ll find out what I need when I’m there — so I can’t prepare for everything”
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”
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”

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.
