Sensing Vs Perceiving And Intuitive Vs Judging

The definitions of sensing and judging seem to overlap as do those of Intuitive and perceiving. See this page. Sensors are defined as "jumping immediately to the task", "overly factual and resistant to change" while intuitives are defined as "unrealistic and impractical", "difficult to pin down". Are the definitions of S, N correct? Probably yes. Do these also define J and P, respectively? Maybe, yes. "Overly factual" does not refer to J but "difficult to change" may be does.

I keep thinking. Each of I, S, T, J draws a boundary and tries to keep the activity or thoughts fenced while each of E, N, F, P does the reverse. 

While there is perhaps no overlap between E and I, between S and N, T and F, J and P.... there seems to be a good amount of overlap across the 4 parameters. If this is true, not only does it make typing difficult, it may even make the model incorrect because of the overlap.

Matter of fact I think there is a quite a bit of overlap among E, N, F and P. I think I have mentioned this earlier.

This is a good article on the difference between judging and perceiving.

Quote from http://www.humanmetrics.com/personality/type: "Sensing means that a person mainly believes information he or she receives directly from the external world. Intuition means that a person believes mainly information he or she receives from the internal or imaginative world."
