They play a more dominant role in behavior. The next letter assigned was the letter “S”. The letter “S” stands for sensing. This means that I use more of my senses like smell and sight rather than intuition. It also provides specific details of memory and recollections from the past.

This trait tends to take the lead with our relationship with the outside world. An example of a judging characteristic would be to focus on task-related actions and to complete meaningful segments before
