One thing to look at is internal judging vs external judging. Do you internalize before you act? or act before you internalize. I think that is the key to J vs P. Js are Te/Fe before Ti/Fi. So they act, then think. Ps are Fi/Ti before Fe/Te so they think before they act.
Erm. No. That leads toward Introvert vs. Extravert. Extraverts act more than think, and it's vice versa with introverts. You're on the right track, but it's thought of in a different way. ISTPs think on the go. They create their own rules for how something is done and dissect things internally rather than follow the external ruleset that extraverted thinking would prefer. Ti is meant as a perceptual function in that manner, although it's a judging function. Because ISTPs approach life with Extraverted Sensing, they adjust to the world around them in terms of what their senses bring back. In doing this, they use Introverted Thinking to "take things apart" per se as they're adjusting. A good analogy is basketball. Not every ISTP is going to like basketball, but the way that the sport requires on the fly thinking attracts xSTPs.
It's like, TJs follow rules and TPs make rules. It's a little confusing.
