Sensing-Intuition : I like to think in practical and literal terms. I give importance to facts and data. Fantasy and imagination does not interest me much. In academics, i like research and other scientific fields which involve data. Preference - Sensing

Thinking- Feeling : I think in a rational way, where justice and morality is valued. At work i give importance to the work which has to be done, irrespective of who my client is. Pleasing others or being diplomatic for the sake of doing it is not my strong suit.. Preference - Thinking

Perceiving-Judging: I am spontaneous in my approach, and i don't like plan ahead. I am flexible with rules and deadlines. Preference - Perceiving
