Extraverts draw their energy from the world of people and things. When they are interacting with others they increase their energy. Their gift is being able to include a great many people and events in their lives. Introverts draw their energy from the interior world of thoughts and insights. They draw energy from processing events and ideas from within. They have the gift of concentration and concentrated attention to people and projects. Sensing ———————————————— Intuition Sensing and Intuition is about what is most real to you and what you pay attention to first.
Sensors (those who prefer Sensing) experience the
world through their senses. They see an object in terms of
length, weight, composition, etc. They value data and the
experience of their own lives. They reason in an
"A-Z" fashion. Thinking ————————————————Feeling Thinking and Feeling is about how you make decisions—especially those involving other people in some way. Thinkers (those who prefer Thinking) make decisions based foremost on logic. They prefer consistency and predictability in the decision-making process. Feelers (those who prefer Feeling) make their decisions based foremost on how the decision impacts individual people and groups. They make decisions based on how well they know a person and how much they trust them and on their personal values. Judging ——–—–———————–———Perceiving
Judgers (those who prefer Judging) prefer to make their decisions sooner rather than later. They prefer forward planning and knowing what they will be doing as far into the future as they can. They like written lists and completing deadlines early. Perceivers (those who prefer Perceiving) like to make decisions later rather than sooner, because their sense of proper timing is the most important part of their decision-making process. They prefer to keep their options open. They are real- time problem solvers. |
