Practical Application of J and P In order to understand the differences between P and J types practically, let’s look at some examples. Two J Types Planning Because J types are more interested in action and closure, an ESTJ talking with an INFJ will likely rapidly develop a plan of action. The ESTJ might begin by asking the INFJ what goals they wish to accomplish on an errand trip (Te dominant). The INFJ offers what they wish to accomplish, and then asks the ESTJ what else they might want to do (Fe auxiliary). The ESTJ will synthesize what’s been discussed so far into a plan and present it (Te dominant). The INFJ will agree that the plan meets their needs and move forward (Ti tertiary). This interaction likely took less than two minutes. J and P Planning Together If this same interaction was happening between an INFJ and an INFP, it’s likely the INFJ will take the lead (J) and ask the INFP about what they want (Fe auxiliary), and the INFP will likely be flexible (P), down to explore n...
