Irrationality is a perceptual style that focuses on sensory impressions, intuitive flas
• Tends to act spontaneously, observing the situation as it unfolds
• Generally flexible and tolerant
• May frequently change decisions
• Takes on many things at once but may lose interest and abandon them midway
• Movements appear smooth and fluid
• Leadership style tends to be democratic (bottom-up)
• Relatively high stress tolerance
Dynamic types tend to perceive the world as a continuous flow of change, focusing on tr
• Tends to perceive the world as a continuous process of change and flux
• Focuses on transitions, progressions, and directional trends
• Remembers events as narratives or flowing sequences
• Sensitive to processes and fluidity that unfold over time
• Focuses on "how things have changed" (past → future) rather than states themselves

Characteristic Behaviors and Cognition
• Recalls memories as "moving images" or video-like sequences
• Sensitive to changes in people and situations, adjusting beh
Decisive types are naturally in an action-ready state, preferring to act first and adju
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, maintaining focus for extended periods
• Even after completing a task, has difficulty winding down; switching gears takes time
• Focuses on execution and results; pays relatively little attention to the preparation phase
• Places importance on rewards, outcomes, and results (e.g., compensation amounts)

Typical Phrases
Serious types believe in objective, absolute standards of correctness and approach rela
Emotions and Relationships
• Has difficulty reading emotional atmospheres and subtle moods
• Does not separate fun from activity — experiences enjoyment as embedded within the activity itself
• Encounters must go through a step-by-step, formal process (e.g., introductions, greetings)
• Values information like names and titles; does not consider someone an "acquaintance" without a proper introduction

Worldview and Judgment Style
• Believes that correctness is determined by objective, absolute s
Constructivist types minimize emotional expression in conversation, prioritizing practi
Conversation and Relationships
• Minimizes emotional expression in conversation, prioritizing practical and concrete topics
• Tries to skip emotional exchanges: "Let's just get to the conclusion"
• Values problem-solving and making proposals over attending to others' moods

Relationship with Emotions
• Repeatedly uses "emotional anchors" (favorite places, movies, books, etc.) to stabilize their own emotions
• Once caught up in an emotion, tends to dwell on it for a long time — therefore avoids
Farsighted types draw on accumulated experience and knowledge to prepare thoroughly in
Characteristics
• Leverages past experience and knowledge to prepare in advance
• Utilizes established methods, rules, and accumulated know-how
• Holds the belief that "preparation is the key to success"
• Includes the background and information-gathering process in their answers, explaining how they arrived at their conclusions
• Considers many possibilities before taking a single action
• Finds reassurance in "preparing for contingencies"

Speech Tendencies
• "Based on past examples..." "This
Obstinate types treat their interests and passions as sacred and non-negotiable, while
Core Values
• Interests (goals, passions) are sacred and inviolable
• Resources (possessions, abilities) are flexible tools to be utilized

Behavioral and Psychological Characteristics

• Holds strong attachment and sense of identity toward personal interests, preferences, and principles
• Relatively unbothered when others use their possessions or time, but r
Process types approach tasks sequentially and step by step, immersing themselves in the
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"
• Often says things like "I'm still in the middle of it" or
Negativist types perceive the world in terms of what is missing or lacking, naturally i
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)
• "This glass is half e
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"

【Defensive Strategist】
Avoids both overinvestment and bold gambles
Draws the optimal move while preserving retreat routes
Risk-suppression oriented design

【Quiet Lab Mentor】
Quietly observes juniors' prototypes
Batch review once data is gathered → minor corrections
Quiet guidance

Differences by Developmental Stage

【Early Stage: Individual Use Period (Childhood to Early Adolescence)】
Uses +Ni-p and -Te-c sequentially — "first predict, then verify"
Takes time, requires externalization
Strengthening: Diverse inputs (+Ni-p), diverse outputs (-Te-c)

【Mid Stage: Easy Coordination Period (Late Adolescence to Early Adulthood)】
Coordination becomes easier — "predicting while verifying" becomes possible
Sign detection → immediate small experiments
Strengthening: Diverse thinking and contemplation (Correlator)

【Late Stage: Integration Period (Late Adulthood to Middle Age)】
Gradually blending — formation of the Dialectical Algorithm
Unifies as "selection and strategy"
Intuitive accuracy improves through experience

【Mature Stage: Complete Integration Period (Middle Age to Old Age)】
Eventually becomes one process
Sign detection is immediately accompanied by small experiments
Grasps the optimal move at a glance and decides quietly
Years of experience and wisdom, mentoring younger people
