Core Values
• Interests (goals, passions) are sacred and inviolable
• Resources (possessions, abilities) are flexible tools to be utilized

Key Characteristics
• Approaches things sequentially and in stages
• Finds it difficult to stop once they have committed to something
• Easily becomes immersed in a process, entering fully into the situation
• A "single-tasker" who focuses on one thing at a time
• Tends to read books and information from beginning to end in order

Speech Tendencies and Vocabulary
• Prefers words like "flow," "process," "step by step," and "in progress"

Cognitive and Expressive Tendencies
• Perceives things in terms of "what is missing" and "what is lacking"
• Tends to identify problems and deficiencies, driven to resolve them
• Initially keeps some distance with new acquaintances, making cautious assessments
• Uses negative expressions more than positive ones ("it's not...," "I wouldn't...")
• When presenting an issue, leads with the negative perspective: "this is good, but this is missing"

Examples (Negative Framing)

Democratic types perceive others based on their individual, unique characteristics. Rel
• Sees others as individuals rather than categorizing them as "a certain type of person"
• Judges people through personal, direct impressions such as "approachable," "intelligent," or "interesting"
• Relationships are based on one-on-one compatibility and shared values rather than group affiliation
• Values "being who I am" — individualistic by nature
• Shows little interest in questions like "where is this person from?"
• Rarely uses expressions like "I represent such-and-such group"
・Relaxed.
・Goes with the flow.

・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.
