The thing with the IJ being the 'doer' is that that's their external expression -- quiet yet decisive straight-forward action. Most of their energy is spent internalizing information, but this is never seen.
IP may be creating understanding of the world through creation of rules to explain phenomena, but the IJ is creating understanding of the world by watching it and seeing what happens. Through this they figure out what needs to be 'done' and do that. The IP doesn't feel the need to do this, though. I guess the best explanation is that the IJ has a constant finger on the pulse of the 'flow' around them and only jump in to protect interests.
Pretty much... I guess IJs are kind of like EPs, only they sacrifice exploration for searching for nuances, while EPs sacrifice stability for their adventurousness. It's like, instead of building a space ship to go where no man's gone before like the EP, the IJ will build a microscope and check all the familiar places for things they overlooked.
