Judicious / Decisive
One axis. Two ways of seeing.

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”

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
