IJ (Introverted Judger) is static and rational, perceiving reality as primarily unchanging and, when it does change, as transitioning suddenly in a "leap" from one state to another. IJ derives a sense of inner stability from stable reality as viewed through the leading function. This leads to a confident assumption that things will likely remain as they are, unfazed by minor disruptions. However, periods of clear upheaval are deeply unsettling, and they wish the situation would "settle down" quickly.
As an introvert, IJ is calm and relaxed about initiating relationships with others, primarily assuming that others will take the initiative. However, once a relationship is established, they tend to put strong effort into maintaining it.
