This is actually pretty perceptive (no pun intended), although it
isn't the *quite* the way I learned it. The Myers-Briggs website
puts it this way:<br>
<br>
"...when it comes to dealing with the outer world, people who tend
to focus on making decisions have a preference for Judging <b>because
they tend to like things decided</b>. People who tend to focus on
taking in information prefer Perceiving <b>because they stay open
to a final decision in order to get more information</b>."<br>

<br>
I haven't really noted a war between these personality types.
Perceivers want a decider as long as as much time as possible was
made available for investigation. But I can see that Judgers would
be distressed by an environment where investigation is inevitably
open ended, where all the answers might never be nailed down.<br>
