ISFP (Quiet and Beautiful Artist)

ISFP (Quiet and Beautiful Artist)

1. Summary

I think it's more appropriate to describe ISFPs as artists, they don't like to be public, and they express their deep emotions more and work than words. They are peaceful, humble, sensitive, patient, flexible, a little cunning and sullen, have strong personal ideas and their own values, and are unwilling to dominate and control others. They are interested in what they know and feel directly from their experiences, and are often artistically and aesthetically gifted, seeking to create a beautiful and secluded environment for themselves.

2. Analysis

ISFP personality types make up about 6%-8% of the general population.

First, ISFPs focus more on the inner world than the outer world (I), and they pursue the orderliness of their inner world. Think of the world itself as immediate and tangible(S). The ISFP takes emotional aspects into account in the decision-making process (F). They are very open to their every preference (P).

Like most IP types, ISFPs have no intention to control others and are indifferent and easy-going; at the same time, they are as flexible and changeable as most SPs, and SFs also show that they have delicate feelings and are sensitive to people. Compared with other types, ISFPs are more sensitive to others. , unwilling to influence or judge or change others—maybe not even want to interact with them, they just show their presence and that’s it.

In terms of learning preferences, ISFP students generally prefer hands-on (chemistry) or practical subjects (such as English), especially art subjects are of great interest to ISFPs. Like most SFs, human factors ISFPs have a greater impact, and teachers will greatly influence their preferences for subjects, but not as much as ESFs.

Since they are called artists, it goes without saying that ISFPs are talented in artistic creation - they not only like to enjoy beautiful things, but also are good at creating beautiful things. ISFPs have a very high talent for dealing with beauty, appreciating beauty and even creating beauty. A large part of this talent may come from their keen five senses. They are very sensitive to colour, smell, light and sound, and can detect The nuances that others cannot perceive at all, their discovery and pursuit of the beauty of details are also above most people. As a result, ISFPs tend to have a superior sense of music, painting, and various art forms that involve the senses. ISFP is the most beautiful of all types. The beauty of ISFP is a kind of quiet beauty. The beauty of ISFP is reserved, compelling and not lacking in affinity. It's called "Quiet Beauty".

ISFP is cunning, and it is mainly used as a compliment here, because although ISFPs are delicate and quiet, they are very smart, witty and practical, plus all FPs are mentally aged It is too small, so ISFP actually hides a kind of agility and naughty under the surface restraint. Like other SPs, they actually know very well what they want and how to get what they want.

Because ISFPs are very sensitive to sensory stimuli, they will especially pursue a comfortable life. The word laziness is suitable to describe it. Note that it is laziness, not laziness, which is different. They require comfort, harmony and beauty in everything they do, and the most beautiful and harmonious thing is a leisurely and elegant life. The state of making a heavy determination for something, and then gritting your teeth and clenching your teeth to the end is a victory, which is almost a fantasy for ISFPs.

Laziness also causes ISFPs to pursue material enjoyment. ISFPs may be the most demanding of material life among the 16 types of people. For example, ISFPs will carefully arrange every detail of their living environment, such as cooking a dish, they will pay attention to the problem of arranging the dishes, and then they will like more delicate or even gorgeous styles when decorating, such as carvings on door handles. Put a pattern on, right, and then have incense in the bedroom, a little flower in the toilet, etc... Whether it's food, a view, a dress (beautiful clothes), or a beauty, it's something that's going to get them going. It is for this reason that the ideal life of an ISFP often requires a lot of financial support.

The introverted feelings of ISFPs are due to the fact that they are too sensitive in their hearts and their pursuit of beauty and elegance makes them tend to be reserved. Compared with the invulnerable armour of ETJs, this kind of restraint is more like a layer of decorative veil, and it is easy to see that they are sensitive and full of emotional core when they uncover the veil of ISFP. Because of this, ISFPs seem to be more "bullying", although this is not completely true, but ISFPs are indeed quite sensitive to criticism and people they don't like. To a certain extent, they have a kind of Realistic perfectionism tendency, always hope that oneself is decent and harmonious in appearance, and behaviour, and this perfection requirement is difficult to achieve in reality, so for ISFPs, it is relatively difficult to gain self-confidence . Most ISFPs have some inferiority complex before they reach adulthood, even though they are already quite individual and attractive in the eyes of others.

ISFPs are very kind and easy to get along with. When they are with people close to them, they talk a lot, but this does not hide their introverted and quiet personality. What ISFPs really seek is rarely said directly. On the contrary, they tend to be in a rather passive position. They instinctively avoid and reject people and things that cause them to experience negative emotions, even though this sometimes damages their image of kindness. ISFPs basically do things by feeling. Because they are IFPs, it may be difficult for them to express their decisions in logically reliable language (that is, to explain clearly why they did it), but just do what feels good, and at the same time, they are also greatly influenced by others, and are also very sensitive to harm from interpersonal relationships. Compared with INFPs, ISFPs are less likely to feel wronged for others, so when they are offended by others, ISFPs get more angry, much bigger than ISTPs.

3. Traits and characteristics

There are very few leaders of the ISFP type. Although ISFPs are important members of the organization, they rarely occupy leadership positions, and they prefer those positions related to service. In fact, promotion doesn't matter to them, so most of them stay in concrete jobs. It's not that ISFPs are incapable; it's just that they don't want to be exposed.

ISFPs are generally easy-going and low-key, and they have little desire to influence those around them. They are so low-key that they themselves doubt their own motives, and perhaps wonder why they are reluctant to take care of others. These questions can cause them to doubt themselves.

Obviously, because of the F (affective) preference in this type, there are naturally more women than men in ISFPs. ISFP men are not as macho or rough as other emotional men. On the contrary, they are very easy-going, and will spend most of their time helping others, no matter the time of day. Whether it's helping others relax, helping others with advocacy, or making decisions about tough issues, ISFPs do their best to help others when they need it.

Like other emotional people, ISFPs feel guilty and self-blame when they don't do their job well, even if it's not sometimes their responsibility. They always try their best to sympathize with or do wrong, even the guilty party.

As we mentioned earlier, generally speaking, ISFPs have no leadership. Even leading them to take on the leadership position fails to leverage their strengths. Maybe in the short term, they are capable leaders, but in the long run, the anxiety of being on a job deadline all the time will be very painful for an ISFP who prefers to hide behind the scenes and not be known. If the position requires a high level of responsibility and front-of-house work, the ISFP will have to take the challenge with extraordinary energy. Their talent is in service. In fact, service is the cornerstone of the ISFP's motivation to provide the best service to the best of their ability.

The natural strengths of ISFPs at work are: supporting and helping others; finding solutions to seemingly rigid projects or relationships; win-win negotiation; using more effective communication methods or more to solve problems; connect people with tangible and achievable goals. Often times, it's the ISFPs that help us the most to see where a project needs to be done step-by-step, rather than swarming it. With the ISFP, any problem can be solved by breaking it down into manageable pieces.

ISFPs believe that people do their best work when they receive encouragement and help rather than criticism. So, if they lead, they silently support or work with their subordinates and colleagues. They may have difficulty describing the relationship between themselves and their subordinates, and they always describe themselves as being “available at any time." This inaction management approach builds. ISFP support and affirmation are often expressed in non-verbal forms. If your boss is an ISFP, the praise you receive is likely to be an act or an unexpected gift, and rarely verbal. A bouquet of flowers, an afternoon off, or a special treat is often an ISFP's recognition. ISFPs ignore clear, direct, and formal affirmation requests.

ISFPs believe that a happy team is a productive team. So put the effort into creating a pleasant environment, and productivity will follow. In a team action, any interrupted thought, like having a coffee with a colleague or needing a little time to listen to other people's questions, can help keep it interesting and self-motivating. Likewise, if not enough time is spent creating a spontaneous environment, ISFPs will not only become cynical and frustrated, but will see this as a reason for low productivity and absenteeism.

ISFPs are the kind of people who have good humane morals and practice them whenever they get the chance. For ISFPs, actions are more appropriate than words. Careers like teaching (especially elementary school teachers) that involve service, parenting, nursing, and clinical or educational psychology is best candidates for ISFPs.

4. Preferred career fields

Preferred fields: handicraft, craftsmanship, art, medical care, science and technology, sales, commerce, service industry.

Typical occupations preferred: Nursing Physician, Dental Hygienist, Interior Garden Designer, Fashion Designer, Customer Service Representative, Surveyor/Inspector, Nurse, Marine Biologist, Chef, Preferred Customer Sales Representative, Executive, Merchandise Planner, and Tourism Sales Manager.

Application of MBTI knowledge in workplaces

With MBTI, We can better understand ourselves, understand others, and make full use of the advantages of our personality type (professional personality) in the workplace.

If you are extroverted (E)

No one is 100% introverted or extroverted. Each of us is introverted and extroverted depending on the situation. For example, we may appear more extroverted at work and more introverted at home. However, if you find yourself energized rather than exhausted outside, you are likely to be more extroverted.

Advantage: Whether it's hosting a meeting or giving a client presentation, extroverts shine when faced with a crowd. Extroverts prefer verbal communication, are good at engaging with a variety of people, enjoy leading teams, and want to deal with conflict face-to-face. A passion for meeting new people helps extroverts advance in career planning and extensive networking helps them progress. "

Challenge: Extroverts are good at building working relationships, but can also take a toll on workloads. For those who like to socialize (and get a huge sense of accomplishment from it), it can sometimes be difficult to stop office conversations that interfere with getting work done. "

If you are an introvert (I)

It's not that introverts don't like or value interacting with others, it's just that they have the advantage of getting things done on their own. Introverts prefer written communication and want a chance to reflect before giving feedback in meetings. They need time to recharge themselves, especially in situations that require a lot of human interaction. "

Advantage: When introverts work on an independent project, they'll undoubtedly get things done unexpectedly. Their ideal job is an individual-based job and works well with a detailed report or company budget. They like to take the time to think about problems from different perspectives, and the solutions they propose are well-received for being thorough and thoughtful.

Challenge: Introverts prefer to work alone rather than in teams. Introverts are often misunderstood as too timid, withdrawn, or socially isolated because they often appear quiet and like to bury their heads in thought. "

Note: Introverts must express themselves more, communicate with colleagues. Giving more input in meetings and trying to communicate more with colleagues at lunch or after-hours events will all give introverts a boost in profile and influence. "This is especially important when promotion opportunities come.

If you gather information through Sensing(S)

When it comes to making a decision about something, do you rely on the facts to draw a conclusion? If so, then you are probably on the "reality" end. If you prefer realism, then your thought process is logical and results are based on facts. "

Advantage: Focusing on details not only helps those who prefer reality to progress at work, but also captures details when communicating with superiors and other colleagues. At work, you are able to use your ability to pay attention to detail, especially the verbal and non-verbal cues of others, to build rapport and ensure clear and direct communication. "

Challenge: People who prefer realism pay attention to details, but they tend to ignore or never consider the big picture or strategy of a project/programme and the impact of their individual roles/responsibilities.

Note: Trying to get a more complete picture of the scope of work will help those who prefer reality to make progress. They need to better understand the big picture in a project or scenario and value data beyond facts

If you gather information through intuition (N)

The intuitive-preferred type gathers information through deep reflection. If you prefer intuition, you will look beyond the surface to get to the bottom of a concept and think about new ideas or options.

Advantage: In a brainstorming session, people who prefer intuition are invaluable, always bringing unique ideas. You will be ideal for a company think tank or brainstorming session. Because of your unique ability to think, others may depend on you.

Challenge: People who prefer intuition tend to overlook important details that can be very important to their career success. "

Note: Although the details may not be attractive to you, you should try to pay attention. Make sure you fully understand the details of your own part of the team project before putting it together in the big picture. "

If you make decisions by thinking (T)

No matter which MBTI personality you are, making decisions requires thinking, but if your decisions are based more on facts than feelings about a particular situation, then you are likely to prefer rationality. "If you prefer rationality, you prefer an intellectual approach to a problem, and when you're dealing with or discussing a problem, you're trying to keep your emotions out of the way,"

Advantage: People who prefer rationality have a reputation for being fair when it comes to solving client problems or dealing with colleague disagreements, so they can serve well in leadership roles. To others, you can be a good explorer because you can provide logical solutions to emotional problems. Maybe other co-workers will also ask for your help to resolve work disputes fairly.

Challenge: While the rationality and impartiality of those who prefer rationality are appreciated, in some cases it is necessary to express emotions in the workplace. People who prefer rationality are more likely to be seen as apathetic, insensitive, and unsympathetic. As a result, they must consider how others perceive the actions they wish to take as they work.

Note: Developing empathy, engaging with co-workers, and understanding how co-workers are feeling about a particular situation can all help strengthen work relationships. When a conflict occurs, trying to use your own emotions to understand how the other person is feeling can help resolve the conflict quickly.

If you make decisions by feeling (F)

You will weigh the pros and cons of things, but more situations will be driven by emotion. If you prefer to use your heart, you will often consider the feelings of others when making and sharing decisions. "

Advantage: Emotional people are good at getting along with a variety of personality types, which makes them great team leaders. They understand the emotions of others very well, have good interpersonal skills and are able to work with different types of team members. "

Challenge: Emotional people like to help others, but it is impossible to make everyone happy. Emotional people should make sure that their emotions are not so rich that they interfere with the progress of the project. This type of person dislikes conflict, but avoiding it can lead to bigger problems and may be seen by others as one who favors one over another.

Take note: try to make tough decisions, even though it may be unpleasant for some people. Balancing the need for harmony and inclusiveness enables just and reasonable decisions to be made. "

If you look at the world in terms of Judging (J)

If you prefer judgment based on a set of "rules", others will see you as a follower of rules, someone who likes to follow order.

Advantage: Following the rules and following the proper workflow will both get your boss's approval and set you up for success at work. Leaders appreciate people who keep their employees on the same page. Because such people usually rely on logic to make decisions in order to achieve their goals.

Challenge: Many work situations require flexibility, which is not easy for people with fixed preferences. J-type people are often seen as being too rigid, extremely focused on their own plans, and never giving in.

Points to note: They should be flexible in balancing organizational structures and deadlines within the team, and willing to accept information that is inconsistent with the original plan.

If you look at the world in terms of Perceiving (P)

Perceiving people are more flexible in the way they view their environment. If you prefer conformity, you are often seen as flexible and open-minded.

Advantage: When new challenges arise at work, changing your approach and adapting to change can help you stand out. If willing to be flexible, that means you may offer (or at least have) different solutions. Employees are open-minded and willing to try new ideas and solutions, and their bosses like it. You may be well suited to lead a change program, especially if others don't yet agree. "

Challenge: Of course, if you can't make a decision yet, being flexible and open-minded is not good. People who prefer conformity are often seen as indecisive or frivolous, unable to meet deadlines because they look to a variety of different opinions. "

Note: Being flexible may affect your ability to get work done. Don't rush into a coworker's request, but take the time to consider before responding, making sure your options are in the best interests of yourself and the company.

What is your MBTI?

I was intrigued by the Korean variety how called MTBI inside which depicts the differences of each personality type. 

Let's talk about the meaning and difference of each letter of the 16-type personality, which will help you make a preliminary judgment of yourself.

The difference between Extrovert (E) and Introvert (I)

Extroverted people prefer to focus their attention and energy mainly on people and things in the external world, while introverted people prefer to focus their attention and energy on various activities in their inner world.

The differences between extroversion and introversion are as follows:

1. Extroverts feel excited, comfortable, and energetic in crowds; introverts feel comfortable when alone and don't like crowds.

2. Extroverts are willing and often want to be the center of attention, while introverts tend to avoid being the center of attention.

3. Extroverts prefer to communicate directly by talking, while introverts prefer to use written methods, such as texting, whatsapping. etc

4. Extroverts like to think and talk at the same time, while introverts tend to think and then talk. The result is: On the surface, extroverts talk more, are more likely to interrupt others to say what they want to say, and respond faster when answering other people's questions. On the contrary, introverts talk less, introvert is better at listening and introvert needs to think carefully when answering other people's questions before he/she speaks. Thus it seems that introvert is slow in the eyes of others. However, introverts will tend to think more deeply.

5. Extroverts are more likely to break the ice in conversations, because they instinctively reject "awkward" situations, while introverts are relatively content with silence, and even know how to "enjoy" silence.

6. Relatively speaking, extroverts prefer a fast-paced life and like all kinds of surprises in life; introverts prefer a slow-paced life and don’t like their rhythm being disrupted by external events.

7. Extroverts are more likely to talk to strangers than introverts, and they are less shy about telling people about themselves (even some “personal privacy” in the eyes of introverts). Introverts are more likely to be reserved and don't like being known a lot about themselves.

8. Extroverts take the initiative most of the time at work and in life, while introverts only take the initiative of things that matter to them.

9. Extroverts have "friends all over the world," while introverts have relatively fewer friends, and usually only have a few close friends.

The difference between Sensing (S) and iNtuitive (N)

S-type people believe more in the information directly obtained through the five senses (five senses: sight, hearing, taste, smell, touch); N-type people believe more in the unconsciousness of things beyond the five senses Information obtained by association (the so-called "sixth sense").

The difference between S-type People and N-type People is as follows:

1. S-type people are relatively able to observe and remember details of actual situations; N-type people tend to ignore specific details unless they are directly related to some abstract pattern. Some N-type people who are overly intuitive may even be "blind" to something that is right in front of them. On the other hand, S-type people may be ignorant of grasping the whole; N-type people prefer generalization and abstraction, so they may be better at grasping the whole situation, and ignoring details is the price they pay. There is a saying that S-type people may "see the tree but not the forest", and N-type people may "see the forest but not the tree".

2. The S-type people tend to discover more practical details, and able to distinguish differences in details. For example, an S-type woman may be more likely to distinguish two different lipstick colours than a N-type woman. Likewise, S-type people are relatively more gifted when it comes to distinguishing the brightness of lights, the smell of perfume, or the taste of desserts, etc. In contrast, N-type people usually have a richer imagination, which not only adds some joy as well as distress to their lives that are difficult to share with S-type people. Horror movies, for example, may be "more terrifying" for N-type people than for S-type people, precisely because N-type people imagine far more scenarios than the film presents.

3. S-type people tend to describe facts as precisely as possible, while N-type people always feel that descriptions of facts are “about the same”. Compared with S-type people who value facts because of their sensitivity to facts, N-type people always have a tendency to devalue facts. In their subconscious mind, facts are experienced as an appearance, a cover, and a fog. When the S-type person asks the N-type person not to change the facts (in fact, N-type forget and think the difference is not important), the N-type person will feel that the S-type person is missing the point and nitpicking.

4. S-type people are more inclined to "follow the facts", in their eyes, a fact is basically this fact, and rarely means anything else; in contrast, N-type people prefer to speculate the meaning or meaning behind a fact, and the relationship of this fact to an assumption or theory. Take for example a fallen leaf, a S-type person may play or study the leaf itself, such as size, color, texture, smell, etc.; on the contrary, if a N-type person may realizes: "Autumn is here!", but after a few minutes you ask N-type person to describe the leaf he just saw, he will probably get many details wrong. From the point of view of receiving information, both have their pros and cons: people who see leaves miss autumn, and people who see autumn actually miss the leaves. There is no good or bad between the two, just a difference of preference.

5. S-type people pay more attention to the reality of things, that is, the current facts and the facts that will be realized soon; N-type people are more concerned about the possibility of things: Future). When imagining the possibilities of things, N-type people are more likely to ignore real obstacles and let their imagination run wild. This also means that N-type people may consider the operability and cost later, which is often regarded as "unrealistic" by S-type people.

6. S-type people prefer to deal with practical things that they can see and touch, while N-type people are more interested in things that are invisible and intangible. For example, people with strong hands-on ability and dexterity are mostly S-type people; N-type thinks and talks about topics that have nothing to do with reality (such as the possibility of time travel, hypothetical experiments in physics, and the relationship between characters in fairy tales). , my life ten years later or after winning the lottery...).

7. When S-type people gather information, they will ask: "What is the truth?" If they have obtained facts that are reliable and accurate in their eyes, they will feel satisfied, and then rely on the facts obtained to make judgments; on the contrary, when N-type people gather information, they will ask: "What does this mean?" If N-type people get the facts, they will not feel satisfied, even instinctively" Put the facts aside" and instead search for the "meanings" or "patterns" behind the facts.

8. S-type people are more willing to experience, while N-type people are more confident in their own "inspiration" and intuitive "understanding" of things. S-type people are usually more willing to choose time-tested or common sense and easy-to-implement methods when doing something; N-type people are more likely to be influenced by innovative, revolutionary, or even unprecedented approach.

9. S-type people prefer to do things they have done before. If faced with something they have never done before, S-type people may lose their confidence; on the contrary, N-type people relatively prefer to do things they haven't done and get excited that their vision for the future might come true, but when faced with something they've done many times, N-type people tend to be less interested or even can't lift their spirits.

The difference between Thinking (T) and Feeling (F)

T-type people tend to make what they think are "correct" decisions by making an objective, intellectual analysis of an event; F-type people tend to make decisions that they think are "right" by considering emotional feelings to make what they consider “good” decisions.

The difference between a T-type person and F-type person.

1. T-type people will try to maintain an objective and fair position when making a decision, with as few personal factors as possible, and often put on an "objective" appearance; emotional people are making a decision. When it is time to try to maintain a subjective and sympathetic position, try to consider everyone's feelings as much as possible.

2. A simple and somewhat absolute statement is: T-type people are "objective and do not mix with personal feeling", and F-type people are otherwise." T-type people are more likely to ignore the individual factors involved in a situation, and mainly consider the logic of the matter itself, and they will also flaunt their "equal treatment" attitude to all people when considering problems; on the contrary, emotional people are more inclined to treat each person as a unique individual, so they will pay more attention to each person's different situation, and they are more likely to advertise themselves as "caring about others" and "being good to others". Of course, if an F-type person hates someone, it is easier to show it in words and actions, so T-type people often criticize F-type people for their "emotional" behavior.

3. When there is a dispute between two people, T-type people will give priority to "who is more reasonable?" "Who is right?" On the contrary, F-type people will give priority to thinking "Who's hurting whom?" "Who's being aggressive?" This makes it harder for someone who doesn't make sense but is "excusable" to get the support of a T-type person, and a person who makes sense but is "not excusable" people have a harder time getting support from F-type people.

4. T-type people pay more attention to "reason", they like to reason in everything, and think that right and wrong and fairness are more important; in contrast, F-type people pay more attention to "emotions", they are willing to do everything. Considering emotional relationships first, F-type might think that the harmony of interpersonal relationships is more important. Because of this, T-type types are more likely to point out the other person's mistakes in conversations. F-type people, however, can easily interpret this ideological confrontation as a kind of emotional rejection. Denying a person's point of view is understood as denying the person himself, or being understood as disliking this person.

5. If there is a conflict of interest, T-type people are more inclined to put the conflict on the table and find a fairer solution acceptable to both parties through negotiation; F-type people prefer that the conflict not be made public, so as not to hurt the peace, and everyone to understand each other and takes a step back from each other.

6. Everyone actually needs to experience emotions when making decisions. The difference between T-type and F-type is only the emphasis on these two methods. For T-type people, the process of experiencing emotions is relatively unconscious. They usually take their emotional feelings and values ​​as the prerequisites for granted, so there is no need to express and discuss them. In contrast, they are more willing to put their energy into the logical thinking process; for F-type people, the operation of the thinking process is relatively conscious or even automatic, and they tend to think that as long as they are emotionally reasonable and the rest of the things will fall into place.

7. Obviously, no matter which way of thinking and feeling is emphasized, there may be hidden dangers. Therefore, T-type people are more likely to "do bad things right", such as scientists who conduct human cloning research without regard to the impact on social ethics; F-type people are more likely to "do wrong things with good intentions", such as rushing to the disaster area to be a volunteer will only add chaos to the relief work... Of course, this is not absolute, and well-developed T-type and F-type people can completely avoid the above situation.

8. Extreme T-type people may have a tendency to "analyze everything", which is often unbearable for many F-type people, especially some T-type people actually analyze "emotions”. For F-type people, it's like measuring a flower with a tape measure - not whether it can be measured, but whether it is necessary to measure it. On the other hand, extreme F-type people may have a tendency to "feel everything", which is often disliked by many T-type people.  If F-type feel bad or don't like it, F-type will reject it. In the eyes of T-type people, this is very irrational.

9. Striking a balance between the two are often the most important because both involve criteria for making decisions, and people tend to have more difficulty compromising on that. Thus, a deep-seated prejudice is formed between the two: T-type people may think that F-type people are too emotional, sentimental; F-type people may think that T-type people are too ruthless, unsympathetic.

The difference between Judging (J) and Perceiving (P)

J-type people tend to make decisions as soon as possible, and it is more difficult to endure the state of unresolved and inconclusive things; P-type people tend to delay making decisions as much as possible, hoping to understand or feel more about things. In all respects, enjoy the "anything is possible" openness that precedes conclusions.

The difference between a J-type person and a P-type person:

1. J-type like to keep everything in good order, including keeping things sorted into categories, and may have a habit of organizing things ; P-type are more comfortable with all kinds of natural chaos, will place all kinds of things at will, which is often accused by J-type.

2. J-type like to plan everything, and hope to do things according to the plan as much as possible, and do not like the previously made plans to be randomly disrupted; P-type people are more casual and do not like to make plans for everything, because This makes them feel constrained and unfree, and they are more inclined to react to things as they happen or are about to happen.

3. J-type like to schedule and organize their lives, so most of their time may be represented as a schedule consisting of a series of "tasks" that J-type can draw from when a task is completed. get a sense of satisfaction; P-type prefer that their lives are not dictated by man, they like life full of unknown possibilities, when there are "new things" that are not expected and planned. When it happens, P-type people get a sense of satisfaction from it.

4. J-type usually start sooner if they know they have a task to do - "do it early" because they are afraid of running out of time later; P-type on the other hand, if there is a task to be done, and unless it's something they're really interested in or important to, they'll tend to delay starting as long as possible, even until a deadline is approaching. This is because any pre-arranged schedule (even in their own favor) will make the P-type feel free, so they will extend as much time as possible before their freedom has been taken away. However, this tendency can easily make the P-type unable to complete the task at the end, or despite the completion, the final period is very painful (such as rushing through the night for several days in a row).

5. J-type people are instinctive result-oriented people. Once they start something, they want to finish it as soon as possible, and often unconsciously "speed up"; P-type people are more focused on the process of one thing, less focused on getting results as soon as possible, often not even realizing "the deadline is near". In many cases, this difference between J-type and P-type directly corresponds to the conflict between efficiency and quality - J-type usually prioritizes efficiency, while P-type is more difficult to compromise on quality standards. Obviously, whether it is work or life, you need to find a balance between the two.

6. In the eyes of the J-type, everything is "right or wrong"; while the P-type is more likely to hold a relativistic view of right and wrong, because they are always receiving information, so they will feel that everything has the possibility of change.

7. J-type likes to use the word "should" to think and speak. In their minds, there is a corresponding "should" version of many things: if things are going in line with their "should", J-type will express approval; if the opposite is true, J-type may show displeasure or even anger. In contrast, P-types are more receptive to things as they are, they may have expectations about something, but if things don't turn out as expected, they are happy to have discovered something new and adjust themselves quickly the opinion of. This difference leads to J-type who always likes to evaluate people or things around them, while P-types prefer descriptions and introductions. Not only has that, P-types also dislike other people's opinions of themselves.

8. When J-type announce the beginning of something, it means they are about to start doing it (like having a baby); when J-type announce an end, it means they don’t waste another minute on this thing (like a breakup). On the contrary, when the P-type declares the beginning or the end, exactly when it begins and when it ends still depends on the subsequent development, and may change at any time. Taking the previous example, a P-type person will say "I want a baby", but the exact time of pregnancy needs to "depending on the situation".

9. J-type will think that their past actions have a stipulation on their present and future, or that the present and future are "obliged" to be consistent with the past; on the contrary, in the eyes of P-type , the past is the past, the present is the present, and the future is the future. The important thing is to be loyal to the self at every moment. As for how much the current self is consistent with the previous self, it is basically beyond the attention of the P-type. This distinction, on the one hand, makes it easier for J-type people to trap themselves, and on the other hand, it also makes it easier for P-type people to break their past commitments (especially verbal commitments on a whim), carry a bad reputation for reneging on promises and not keeping promises.
