The final dichotomy,added by Myers & Briggs, describes the external lifestyle we prefer to lead. In this model these differences are termed Judging (J) and Perceiving (P).
Myers & Briggs termed this function as the 'extraverted' function. Building on the work of Jung, Myers & Briggs suggested that in our daily lives, we also have a preference for using either our 'perceiving' function S or N (gathering new information) or for our 'Judging' function T or F (decision making and closure). Being an extraverted function, we demonstrate this preference in our relationship with the outside world.
