J v P - does this work
Do you try to force a change in the current circumstances in order to acheive your goals?
-Yes, I try to force a change in the circumstances, rather than work with the circumstances that exist, in order to achieve my goals. (j)
-No, I work with the circumstances that exist, rather than try to change circumstances, in order to achieve my goals. (p)
don't we all???
No, it doesn't work.

I've edited the original post. What do you think now?
The term circumstance seems too vague.

Can you suggest a change of the word?Originally Posted by MysticSonic
Nope, it all depends on the importance of the issue: it it concerns something extremely important to me, I will relentless battle for what I think is important, and take no prisoners. But most things are not worth the trouble.

soooo.... if a person wanted to make more money, a rational type would get a different job or go into a new line of work while an irrational type would work to advance his current career????????
But it's about how you battle for it - do you do it by forcing a change of circumstances or working with the circumstances that already exist?
kinda
can you give examples?
to me, improving circumstances means that you are changing them
I think all self-imposed movements towards change are an imposition of one's desired circumstance towards the current situation, and as such the process of changing the situation is always done via forcing a change in the "circumstance."

Yes. Either you try to improve your curcumstances or you work with the ones that already exist, in order to achieve your goals.
(I'm trying to think of an example)
I think j and p types have different methods for achieveing goals. Perhaps I'm wrong.
it seems a little backwards from the stereotypes
What do you mean?
irrational types are thought to have less follow through
Like I said: it depends on the situation, and on factors outside Socionic aspects, such as stress or neurosis. If you want to know the J/P preference, you need to phrase the question in such a way that you rule out the possibility that the answer refelcts something else than J/P.But it's about how you battle for it - do you do it by forcing a change of circumstances or working with the circumstances that already exist?
This is exactly what the issue is with many MBTI-questionnaires, they do ot rule out the possibility that you're measuring stress of neurosis. The Big 5 has 4 dimension that correlate to the 4 dimensions of Socionics, and a fifth one measureing neurosis. If such a dimension was added to Socionics, it would clear up a lot of issues.
