J And P (As In MBTI)

Having seen and been with J and P type people I thought i would write my thoughts about them.

P type people are open, interested in new things, they have more width than depth in subjects. J type people are the opposite. When confronted with a new thing, a P (type person) would want to toy with it and it experience it forgetting that they have other commitments and that indulging in the new thing would conflict with the prior commitments. This need for immediate gratification is overwhelming. The stronger their energy levels, the greater the need.

The J usually would strive for depth and is committed to what is in their plate. They hate to take up new things on the fly, they are not open.

As a result, one cannot plan for things with a P because they often don't follow through with what they commit. One cannot plan with a J, on the other hand, because they often may not consider anything out of the beaten path.

As I mentioned earlier, a J is generally, not open to new stuff. When their energy levels go up, the SJ, as an exception, will consider a new S, but not N, experience. The high energy NJ would consider a new N, but not S, experience. 

Note:

1. In all the assertions, we should prefix the word "largely".
2. J is a person who is methodical, planned.
3. P is a person who is more ad-hoc
4. N is a person who has imagination.
5. S is a person who goes by memory and can't imagine.

"This kind of approach — being openly meditative about the issue at hand, with a penchant for missing his own deadlines as he mulls his options — is in line with how Mr. Biden has made other big political choices throughout his career. Those who have worked with him over the years describe nonlinear decision-making processes with input from allies and family members, a barrage of questions from Mr. Biden, and a habit of extending deadlines in a way that leaves some Democrats anxious and annoyed, while others say it brings him to a well-considered decision, eventually.."
