| Introvert The introvert looks inward; their energy comes from within. Introverts need alone time to replenish this energy. Introverts are not shy or withdrawn; they are introspective. They may take a little longer before responding because they are thinking and they do so quietly. |
| Extravert The extravert gets energy from the external environment, which includes other people. Extraverts replenish their energy by going to parties, sports events, calling friends, etc. While extraverts can be introspective, it is not their primary source of energy. Extraverts often "think on their feet". They give an answer and then wait for a response. |
| Sensing or Sensate types get information through the senses. What they can see, touch, taste, hear, smell exists. Sensors are into detail. They want to know the component parts of the whole. |
| iNtuitive types also get information through the senses but do so on an unconscious level. They are already processing this information and seeing the potential for it. Intuitives "look at the big picture." Detail work can be very tedious for an intuitive. |
| Thinking types look at the facts, they are logical or in Jungian terminology they are rational. |
| Feeling does not mean, in this instance, emotion. Rather, the feeling type evaluates based on "is this pleasing or not." The introvert feeler evaluates on "do I like this or not," the extrovert feeler on "will others like this or not," "will people benefit from this." |
| Judging persons are quicker to make a decision. They are decisive, confident that the decision is correct. Often they are more organized. J’s can make a decision before they have all the needed information and can be precipitant. |
| Perceiving persons are slower to decide and often are less sure of the decisions they make. They tend to second-guess themselves. P’s want to have all the information they need before deciding; since that is usually impossible, P’s are more likely to procrastinate. They also are less organized and viewed as "clutterers." |
