Q1. Which is your most natural energy orientation?
Every person has two faces. One is directed towards the OUTER world of activities,
excitements, people, and things. The other is directed inward to the INNER world of
thoughts, interests, ideas, and imagination.

While these are two different but complementary sides of our nature, most people have an
innate preference towards energy from either the OUTER or the INNER world. Thus one of
their faces, either the Extraverted (E) or I ntroverted (I), takes the lead in their personality
development and plays a more dominant role in their behavior.
Extraverted Characteristics
Act first, think/reflect later
Feel deprived when cutoff from
interaction with the outside world
Usually open to and motivated by
outside world of people and things
Enjoy wide variety and change in
people relationships
Introverted Characteristics
Think/reflect first, then Act
Regularly require an amount of
"private time" to recharge batteries
Motivated internally, mind is
sometimes so active it is "closed" to
outside world
Prefer one-to-one communication
and relationships
Choose which best fits:
Extraversion (E) Introversion (I)

Q2. Which way of Perceiving or understanding is most "automatic" or natural?
The Sensing (S) side of our brain notices the sights, sounds, smells and all the sensory
details of the PRESENT. It categorizes, organizes, records and stores the specifics from the
here and now. It is REALITY based, dealing with "what is." It also provides the specific
details of memory & recollections from PAST events.
The Intuitive (N) side of our brain seeks to understand, interpret and form OVERALL
patterns of all the information that is collected and records these patterns and relationships.
It speculates on POSSIBILITIES, including looking into and forecasting the FUTURE. It
is imaginative and conceptual.
While both kinds of perceiving are necessary and used by all people, each of us instinctively
tends to favor one over the other.
Sensing Characteristics
Mentally live in the Now, attending
Intuitive Characteristics
Mentally live in the Future, attending
to present opportunities
Using common sense and creating
practical solutions is automatic-
instinctual
Memory recall is rich in detail of
facts and past events
Best improvise from past experience
Like clear and concrete information;
dislike guessing when facts are
"fuzzy"
to future possibilities
Using imagination and
creating/inventing new possibilities
is automatic-instinctual
Memory recall emphasizes patterns,
contexts, and connections
Best improvise from theoretical
understanding
Comfortable with ambiguous, fuzzy
data and with guessing its meaning.
Sensing (S) iNtuition (N)

Q3. Which way of forming Judgments and making choices is most natural?
The Thinking (T) side of our brain analyzes information in a DETACHED, objective
fashion. It operates from factual principles, deduces and forms conclusions systematically.
It is our logical nature.
The Feeling (F) side of our brain forms conclusions in an ATTACHED and somewhat
global manner, based on likes/dislikes, impact on others, and human and aesthetic values. It
is our subjective nature.
While everyone uses both means of forming conclusions, each person has a natural bias
towards one over the other so that when they give us conflicting directions - one side is the
natural trump card or tiebreaker.
Thinking Characteristics
Instinctively search for facts and
logic in a decision situation.
Naturally notices tasks and work to
be accomplished.
Easily able to provide an objective
and critical analysis.
Accept conflict as a natural, normal
part of relationships with people.
Feeling Characteristics
Instinctively employ personal
feelings and impact on people in
decision situations
Naturally sensitive to people needs
and reactions.
Naturally seek consensus and
popular opinions.
Unsettled by conflict; have almost a
toxic reaction to disharmony.
Thinking (T) Feeling (F)

Q4. What is your "action orientation" towards the outside world?
All people use both judging (thinking and feeling) and perceiving (sensing and intuition)
processes to store information, organize our thoughts, make decisions, take actions and
manage our lives. Yet one of these processes (Judging or Perceiving) tends to take the lead
in our relationship with the outside world . . . while the other governs our inner world.
A Judging (J) style approaches the outside world WITH A PLAN and is oriented towards
organizing one's surroundings, being prepared, making decisions and reaching closure and
completion.

A Perceiving (P) style takes the outside world AS IT COMES and is adopting and
adapting, flexible, open-ended and receptive to new opportunities and changing game plans.
Judging Characteristics
Plan many of the details in advance
before moving into action.
Focus on task-related action;
complete meaningful segments
before moving on.
Work best and avoid stress when
able to keep ahead of deadlines.
Naturally use targets, dates and
standard routines to manage life.
Perceiving Characteristics
Comfortable moving into action
without a plan; plan on-the-go.
Like to multitask, have variety, mix
work and play.
Naturally tolerant of time pressure;
work best close to the deadlines.
Instinctively avoid commitments
which interfere with flexibility,
freedom and variety
Judging (J) Perceiving (P)
