Words to Describe Personality on the Ordering Level

Judging and Perceiving describe how you deal with the outside world. How do you prefer to allow events in your day to occur? How do you like to get things done?

Judgers prefer a structured, ordered and fairly predictable environment, where they can make decisions and have things finished, they focus on closure. Perceivers prefer to experience as much of life as possible so they like to keep open and flexible and are natural adaptors.
