Yes, I always think of Judging vs Perceiving this way:

J - feels more comfortable once a decision is made, likes having plans, not as comfortable when plans change unexpectedly, can be a bit rigid

P - enjoys the possibilities before a decision is made, spontaneous, less rigid, flexible about changes in plans

So, think about how you are about vacations, for instance. Do you prefer to plan out where you'll go, what you'll do, and when; or just let things hang loose and see what develops or what mood you're in once you get there?

According to Jung, neither of these are bad or good; they are just preferences. Both have their good and bad aspects.

On the positive side, J's tend to be organized, follow through on things, get things done. They're the good students of the world. P's are the artsy, creative folks who sometimes lack focus but can be a lot of fun to be with as they go with the flow.

I am a J through and through who would love to be a lot more of a P!
