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
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)
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
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”
