Dealing with Changes
Combining Extraversion–Introversion with Judging–Perceiving
This set of preference combinations influences how people respond to change. These are the four rows across the type table.
Introversion
Judging
When changes are proposed, they check them out using their favorite process (Sensing [data] or Intuition [big picture]). If the changes “fit,” they move quickly to implement them. If the changes don’t fit, they resist them and become unmovable opponents.
Introversion
Perceiving
When changes are proposed, they are curious and seek information. Then they assess the information using their favorite [process—Thinking (logical principles) or Feeling (values).] Their information seeking appears adaptable, but they move ahead only in their own time—after they have decided.
Extraversion
Perceiving
When changes are proposed, they use their favorite process (Sensing [data] or Intuition [big picture]) and consult their networks, talk to people, find out what everyone thinks. If the changes allow room for their creativity and action, they gather resources and try to energize everyone to implement the changes.
Extraversion
Judging
When changes are proposed, they apply their favorite process (Thinking [logical principles] or Feeling [values]) out loud by questioning. Then, if their questions are answered, they move quickly to plan, organize, and implement the change.
