Judging or Perceiving? Case Closed... I think...


Perceiving vs. Judging 

Perceiving types are motivated into activity by the changes in a situation. Judging types are motivated into activity by their decisions resulting from the changes in a situation. The most common differences between Perceiving and Judging types are shown below: 


Perceiving types:
  • act impulsively following the situation
  • can start many things at once without finishing them properly (yes)
  • prefer to have freedom from obligations (yes)
  • are curious and like a fresh look at things
  • work productivity depends on their mood (yes)
  • often act without any preparation

Judging types:
  • do not like to leave unanswered questions
  • plan work ahead and tend to finish it (no)
  • do not like to change their decisions (no)
  • have relatively stable workability
  • easily follow rules and discipline (no)




Judging or Perceiving?

OK, so I've been researching my Myers-Briggs personality type. I was convinced for a while that I was an INTJ, but now I'm realizing I may, in fact, be a pure-blooded INTP. I seem to resonate with both (this would be due to them both being NT - Rational personalities).

It's the INTP's alleged obsession with "truth" and "logic", as well as their volatility in school and their frequent disregard for social norms, rules, and hierarchies which is persuading me that I am more P than J. INTP's are simply "Thinkers".

Anyone have the answer to this? INTJ or INTP? Read up on the two types and let me know, and I'll be forever grateful.
