Remember when you were renovating and you talked about smashing a wall down with your INTJ Dad (I think, sorry if I remember the details incorrectly)? You didn't care how you smashed it down, you just wanted it out of the way, and you picked up the handiest tool to do the job and wham, mission accomplished. A J-type, generally however, will focus on how to get the wall down, will consider all of the details first of that. The consider what process they will use to get there.
In the meantime, you've picked up the sledgehammer and the point is moot. Wall - gone.
That's how I see the difference - you and I don't care about how it gets done, but if we get it done expediently or cleverly, more points for us. You enjoy the process far more than I do, I think, but that doesn't change where your energy comes from. J-types are more about "we have to do this, HOW will we do it". Both styles consider the goal and the process, but one reigns more dominant from the focus perspective So, you did indeed care that the wall was taken down, it was in your loosely laid plans. And if that demolition process had gone badly, you may have just adapted your plan to suit the circumstance and make a new goal. J-s (generally) take more care to ensure the process leads to the desired outcome.
That's kind of how I see it, anyway - what do you think?
We all do process etc to some degree. My girlfriend laughs at us when we work together because we are like 2 old people bickering about how to go about things. Its a logical, consequence battle of "if this, then that" until we settle on best approach. He is still more slow and cautious where I am more, sounds good...JUMP. I noticed the same thing with most INTJs I work with. The process is focused on outcome though, outcome is of the utmost importance. Which means that if they are working with someone they deem as competent they wont care as much about process, where as if its someone they deem as incompetent they will care more about process. With my house his way of coping with my decision is "Its your house" and I agree and we jump. While he does a lot of "process", his focus and goal is outcome. The quickest way to make an INTJs eyes cross and have them go crazy is to suggest a process that more then likely wont have the best outcome. They may go along, but if they cant get past the crossed eyes, it will be done with a more negative attitude toward the process. To see one of an INTJs smirk, I surrender side is to actually do something an INTJ disagrees with and it actually worked. This actually requires respect of INTJ though as you have to be able to have enough respect from them to not get into the eyes crossed, negative attitude. The INTJs I work with do this all the time with me, not that I am better, but we actually are an even yoke(match) when it comes to this type of stuff so its a 50/50 of works or not. I just put less emphasis on someone elses process not working if it doesn't go as planned so that's not the way to get to my surrender side.
I usually don't make new goals, I adapt and adjust process on the fly to reach goal. Now my goals are not usually very far planned out so I don't do a lot of "ok...new goal" because I didn't have many goals when I set off to do things. I continually adjust and adapt the process always.
