You may have come across the Myers Briggs Type Indicator, one of the best ways of gaining an in-depth understanding of yourself which can be used to enhance relationships, work better in a team, choose a career and more.

One of the scales is Judging and Perceiving   

People who have a preference for Judging:

• Prefers an organised lifestyle

• Likes order and structure

• Likes to have life under control

• Enjoys being decisive

• Likes clear limits and categories

• Feels comfortable with concluding

• Handles deadlines and plans in advance

People with a preference for Perceivng:

• Prefers a flexible lifestyle

• Likes going with the flow

• Prefers to experience life as it happens

• Enjoys being curious and discovering surprises

• Likes freedom to explore

• Feels comfortable with openness

• Meets deadlines by a last minute rush

This can cause difficulties between people:

Judging types like to plan their work and work their plan. They tend to be steadier in their work habits and like to know the objective to be attained by completing the task.

Perceiving types like to be able to respond to the needs of the situation as they arise. They may work in spurts, with high levels of involvement in the task followed by periods of reduced task involvement. They like to get involved in the task to see where it will lead them before defining its objective.
