Orienting Modes

    ACTIVE ORGANIZER

  • You are an Extraverted Judger, who can best be
    described as an "Active Organizer”.  You are out-
    going, energetic, and decisive; rely on
    conventional wisdom or values; and, enjoy
    making things happen by controlling your
    external world.  Among all the four Basic
    Orienting Modes you, who prefer this mode, are
    the most adept at getting others to carry out your
    plans, because you have thought them through
    in great depth and are committed to them.
  • Your interests are narrowly defined, so you have
    the time and energy to develop them in great
    detail.  And, much to the consternation of less
    focused types, once you make a decision, it is
    very hard for someone else to get you to change
    it.  
  • Your primary Focus of Attention is Extraversion.  
    Your Preferred Interactive Style is Pre-Planning
    Judger.

    SILENT INTEGRATOR

  • You are an Introvert with Judging, who can best
    be described as a "Silent Integrator".  You are
    reflective and outwardly decisive; adjust to the
    external world by controlling it, while you
    continue to process and integrate your
    experiences in the safety of your inner world,
    based on personal interpretation.   Among all the
    four Basic Orienting Modes you, who prefer this
    mode, are the most adept at blending a great
    variety of seemingly unconnected facts in a
    unique fashion to create novel solutions to
    perplexing problems.
  • Your interests are broadly diffused; and, much to
    the consternation of those who mistake you for an
    Extraverted Judger, you modify your external
    decisions, periodically and without warning, to
    reflect the status of your constantly changing
    internal state.
  • Your Primary Focus of Attention is Introversion.  
    Your Preferred Interactive Style is Pre-Planning
    Judger.  Your Interactive Style expresses your
    Secondary Cognitive Process  

    QUIET ARCHITECT

  • You  are an Introvert with Perceiving, who can
    best be described as a "Quiet Architect".  You are
    calm, reflective, and individualistic.  You adjust
    to the external world by adapting, while you
    build an  intricate model of what you believe the
    world should be in the safety of your inner
    world.  Among all the four Basic Orienting
    Modes you, who prefer this mode, are the most
    adept at calling upon your inner resources to
    fashion an elaborate system of values and beliefs
    that guide all of your planning and decision-
    making processes, much to the consternation of
    others who may have mistaken you for an
    Extraverted Perceiver.

    going, active, and adaptable, continually seeking
    new experiences in the world around them.

    who prefer this mode, are the most in touch with
    current external reality, because you are
    constantly attuned to any changes in your
    environments.  
  • Your interests are broadly diffused, so you have
    a tendency to jump from one topic or
    conversation or project to another.  And, much to
    the consternation of less flexible types, you tend
    to modify your decisions, readily, to adjust to the
    flow of your current experience.
  • Your primary Focus of Attention is Extraversion.  
    Your preferred Interactive Style is Perceiving.
