Judging (J)
Key words:
structured • decided • organized • scheduled
People who have a preference for judging use their preferred judging function
(whether it is thinking or feeling) in their outer life. What this often looks
like is that they prefer a planned or orderly way of life, like to have things
settled and organized, feel more comfortable when decisions are made, and like
to bring life under control to the degree that it is possible.
Since they are using either their T or F in their outer world, they want to make
decisions to bring things in their outer life to closure. Remember though, this
only describes how their outer life looks. Inside they may feel flexible and open
to new information (which they are). Remember, in type language, judging means
"preferring to make decisions;" it does not mean "judgmental"
in the sense of constantly making negative evaluations about people and events.
People who prefer judging may:
- like to make decisions, or at least like to have things decided
- look task oriented
- like to make lists of things to do
- like to get their work done before playing
- plan work to avoid rushing just before deadline
- sometimes make decisions too quickly without enough information
- sometimes focus so much on the goal or plan that they miss the need to change directions at times
