Row # Title Image Description
1 Extraversion vs. Introversion Extraversion vs. Introversion Extraversion (E) means outward-turning, and introversion means inward-turning. Extraverts tend to be action oriented, while introverts tend to be thought oriented. Introverts tend to expend energy through action and interacting with people, and recharge by spending time alone. Extraverts are the opposite, and tend to become demotivated from inactivity, and recharge their energy through action and interpersonal interaction. Extraverts tend to enjoy human interaction and socialising, while introverts tend to prefer solitary activities.
2 Sensing vs. Intuition Sensing vs. Intuition
Sensing and Intuition, denoted as S and N respectively, are the two perceiving functions i.e. functions for gathering information. Those who tend more towards sensing are more likely to focus on information that is in the present, tangible, and concrete; and can be readily understood by the five senses. Those who tend more towards intuition would rely proportionately less on the information gathered and retained through sensing but tend to do more of building upon their sensed information through associative reasoning, exploration of possibilities, prediction, extrapolation, pattern recognition, imagination, inventiveness, theories, concepts etc.
3 Thinking vs. Feeling Thinking vs. Feeling
Thinking and Feeling, denoted as T and F respectively, are the two judging / decision making functions. These functions are used by individuals to make decisions and judgements based on their perception / information gathering functions. Those with a tendency for thinking, would tend to base their decisions / judgements more on facts, rules, principles, and logic. Those with a tendency for feeling, would tend to base their decisions / judgements more on the emotions of themselves and others.
4 Judging vs. Perception Judging vs. Perception The Judging (J) vs. Perception (P) spectrum is of the balance between the preferences for judgement (thinking/feeling) and perception (sensing/intuition). Those with a preference towards judgement tend to make detailed plans and prefer to have matters settled. Those with a preference towards perception, tend to improvise and prefer to have their options open.
