Demonstrate Self-Confidence by Learning How You Operate on a Day-to-Day Basis

Do you like to plan your day? If you are like me you have a to-list and as you finish a task you gladly mark it off your list. Personality Theorist Katherine Briggs Myers expanded Carl Jung’s Personality Theory studies when she developed the fourth preference Judging and Perceiving. This natural preference explains an individual’s attitude about the external world and how they operate daily. Briggs Myers stated, “…how we deal with the external world on a Day-to-day Basis. Are we organized and purposeful, and more comfortable with scheduled, structured environments (Judging), or are we flexible and diverse, and more comfortable with open, casual environments (Perceiving)?”

There is an arguably difference between Perceiving and Judging. Perceivers are more free-spirited, flexible, and open-ended. They appear to be less structured and more spontaneous. Typically, they do not make decisions readily; they would prefer to weight all their options before making a decision. They believe in living one day at a time; usually Perceivers would not be comfortable preparing a five year strategic plan. This type of behavior could appear as procrastination, since they like to postpone decisions and do things at the last minute. Judgers have the proclivity to be more organized and structured. They will make a to-do-list of the activities that need to be accomplished for the day. On their to-do-list as they finish a task they triumphantly mark it off the list and go to the next item. They like the sense of progress and closure. Judgers are usually neat. They schedule appointments for meetings in advance. They not only schedule the appointment but they will also confirm it a day before the date to ensure the individuals they are meeting with will be there.

Demonstrate self-confidence by learning how you operate on a day-to-day basis. As you may imagine there maybe a conflict if both a Judger and a Perceiver work on a project together or are partners in a business. The Judger will want to set deadlines, schedule time frames to complete tasks, and bring closure to issues. Although, this type of management style may not agree with a Perceiver’s style of operation, the two different preferences could complement the other. This is possible if both individuals have developed their natural preferences and are tolerant to their differences in daily business operation. Hence, the weak area for one will be the area of strength for the other. For example, the Judger will want to make a decision and bring closure to an issue; however the Perceiver will research the matter thoroughly and not allow an irrational decision to be made. Initially until they learn one another personality type, there maybe some conflict but all that can be worked out.
