I disagree. There's a difference between the judging-lead receptiveness of, say, an INFP and the very open ENFP. Socionics actually considers Fi-Ne quite rigid and rule-oriented a la enneagram one. How familiar are you with these systems?
Aren't most INFPs either 4s, 6s, or 9s? 1 is pretty uncommon statistically for INFP. I'm pretty familiar with these systems.
Also, there's the issue of IXXJ being lead perceivers and open in an inward sense, which erodes the point of INFP being more open than INFJ. I would say INFP can be more outwardly exploratory than INFJ because of INFP's Ne. INFJ is more exploratory than INFP overall, however, yet the exploration and openness is inward.
Exactly:
Judging or Perceiving
This fourth preference pair describes how you like to live your outer life--what are the behaviors others tend to see? Do you prefer a more structured and decided lifestyle (Judging) or a more flexible and adaptable lifestyle (Perceiving)? This preference may also be thought of as your orientation to the outer world.
The thing causing the outward perceiving is not the P but rather the Se or Ne...
Well yes, Pe is outward perceiving. But having a Pe function in dominant or auxilary is theoretically there for all P types, so yes just being a P could result in this.
