{Lifestyle Attitude (J/P) Highlights}
.one
{The distribution in the general population for the Lifestyle Attitude (J/P) is roughly 55% J and 45% P.}
.two
{Isabel Briggs Myers added this dimension to C. G. Jung's work.  She makes explicit what was implicit in his work.  One of the functions (Perception or Judgment) is used more in the external world and so the last letter of a type (J or P) tell us which function that is.}
.three
{If the last letter of a four-letter type formula is J, both Extraverts and Introverts prefer to use the Judging Function (T/F) in their outer world.  This makes their public lifestyle decisive and organized.}
.four
{If the last letter of a four-letter type formula is P, both Extraverts and Introverts prefer to use the Perceiving Function (S/N) in their outer world.  This makes their public lifestyle spontaneous and flexible.}
.five
{Because this attitude is a behavior, these preferences are more easily observed and can be rewarded and punished.  Often performance reviews reward the structured types (reflecting an organizational bias toward J).}
.six
{The J/P preferences are very likely to become problematic in organizations and relationships when some want structure and others want to be spontaneous.  In societies that are as structured as Japan, Germany, or the United States, the flexible (P) types can be seriously disadvantaged.}
.seven
{Remember -- We can access both attitudes, but we prefer one over the other.}
