In Myers-Briggs, those favoring resolution are called "J" for "judgmental" and those who favor keeping their options open are called "P" for perceiving." There are several questions on the instrument that specifically address this question. One that I recall asks if you're more or less comfortable having made some determination/decision. "People who prefer perceiving may: * like staying open to respond to whatever happens * look more loose and casual * like to keep laid-out plans to a minimum * like to approach work as play or mix work and play * work in burst of energy, and enjoy rushing just before deadlines * sometimes stay open to new information so long that they miss making decisions * sometimes focus so much on adapting to the moment that they do not settle on a direction or plan " knowyourtype.com I'm a "J" but not a strong one. It's a bitch to work for a "P" boss. In my management consulting work I had to deal with conflicts between J and P cultures often.
