And not even because they're looking down on S types, but because of the rift in communication and understanding. It's difficult to see one from the other's perspective.

For example, I don't budget or keep a detailed record of expenses, etc. Instead, I prefer to have a general idea of how much money I can spend in a month and just keep a very rough estimate of it all in my head.

On the flip side, in a work environment I like to know what is expected of me and be given a clear direction (although not necessarily instructions) for a given project. And (in work or in life), I don't like others to interrupt/change/throw a loop in my flexible plan (I don't know if this makes sense).

So I don't know. IST?
I think you've analyzed this pretty well. You may indeed be a P by nature, but have learned over time how to deal with J-style conditions and activities (or something like that). Maybe you are an ISTP...
