Many people misunderstand the J and P functions (and many sites miss represent them) and this creates miss conceptions about the differences of the two (J's are clean, P's are not as an example).
Judgers deal with their outside world first, so they can deal with their inside world. Perceivers deal with their inside world first so they can then deal with their outside world.
Example: J's clean a room in order to feel good, P's clean the room when they feel like it.
Thus J's move their decision making (Feeling or Thinking) to the forefront, before they deal with the perception of information, and a P would deal with the perception of the information before making a judgement on it.
ENTJ Extroverted thinker, introverted intuitive
ENTP Extroverted intuitive, introverted thinker
INTJ Introverted intuitive, extroverted thinker
INTP Introverted Thinker, extroverted intuitive
Another miss-understanding is of the extroverted and introverted functions. This is simply where you get your energy, but this flow of energy determines how you express and process your ideas. You can see that the INTP and the ENTP are very similar, save for swapping the dominant function. Since the dominant function of an extrovert is from the outside world, that is where they get their energy from. The energy from an introvert comes from the inside world. Your world is determined by a perception (introverted or sensing) and an action or judging aspect (Feeler or Thinker). Since judgers deal with their outside world first, the judging aspect (F or T) becomes the extroverted object. Perceivers deal with their inside world first so the perceiving aspect(the S or N) becomes their extroverted function.
Under this concept we can say this then:
ENTJ Gets energy from the extroverted judging aspect (Thinking), hence they make decisions very quickly and enjoy doing so.
ENTP Gets energy from the extroverted perceiving aspect (Intuition), hence they get passionate about their ideas and communicating them.
INTJ Gets energy from applying their introverted ideas (Intuition), (remember J's deal with their outside world first) seeing concrete evidence of the idea.
INTP Gets energy from introverting ideas themselves (Thinking), but not the act of actually doing it.
Once you begin to see this through the lens of the flow of energy, you begin to see how the E and I vs J and P really determine where we get energy, and how we expend energy. And what order we do that in. Do we get energy from acting on an idea, or merely the concepts, do we get energy from our emotions, or the sensual experience of it. Do we spend energy toward our passions, or toward creating our ideas. Do we spend energy on creating concepts or interacting tangibly with our world?
I am an ENFP, I get my energy from people and their intuition and ideas. It costs me energy to judge my world, so I expend energy only toward the things I am passionate about (If I lose passion, I stop working, yes it's frustrating). An ENFJ gets energy from emotionally judging (acting on) their world around them, and how people feel about them. It costs them energy to really think about a concept or make a decision for themselves, thus they will spend their energy making people feel good and serving other people, before they deal with their own needs or perceptions.
So an ENFJ will focus on cleaning their room so they can finally sit down and reflect. An ENFP will only clean their room when they are motivated to by their inside world. Hence why I only clean my room when I feel like it.
