so according to socionics, MBTI IxxP and IxxJ should generally have their final letter switched - denoted in socionics as Ixxp and Ixxj.
this is because of the way type code is established:
Ne dom, Fi aux
dominant extraverted -> E
Ne and Fi -> NF
perceiving extraverted -> P
ENFP
Fi dom, Ne aux
dominant introverted -> I
Fi and Ne -> NF
perceiving extraverted -> P
INFP
Ni aux, Fe dom
dominant is introverted -> I
Ni and Fe -> NF
judging extraverted -> J
INFJ
and all of this is reasonable enough, because the final letter is actually based on whether your perceiving or judging is extraverted.
judgers typically exert their will on the environment more, which manifests in the form of being more externally organized, having better time management, seeking external closure, and are long-term planners; perceivers typically exert their will within their own heads more, manifesting in the form of being more externally adaptable, open to change, tolerant, and desiring myriad experiences.
but socionics (generally) switches the two final letters, usually identifying an MBTI INFP as INFj and an MBTI INFJ an INFp, because that system assigns the final letter based on which function is dominant.
it's then reasonable to assume, as socionics does (yet unfortunately i have not been able to read much more due to the language barrier) that there are some notable similarities within these two groups:
perceiving dominant:
judging dominant:
how do the similarities within the groups then manifest, and how is that different from Pe and Je?

perceiving dominant:
- extravert with extraverted perceiving (ESFP, ENFP, ESTP, ENTP)
- introvert with extraverted judging (ISFJ, INFJ, ISTJ, INTJ)
judging dominant:
- extravert with extraverted judging (ESFJ, ENFJ, ESTJ, ENTJ)
- introvert with extraverted perceiving (ISFP, INFP, ISTP, INTP)
