7.  We are extraverting when we:  Talk to other people  Listen to what someone is saying  Cook dinner, or make a cup of coffee  Work on a car  We are introverting when we:  Read a book  Think about what we want to say or do  Are aware of how we feel  Think through a problem so that we understand it

8.  We are “Sensing” when we:  Taste food  Notice a stoplight has changed  Memorize a speech  Follow steps in a plan  We are “Intuitive” when we:  Come up with a new way of doing things  Think about future implications for a current action  Perceive underlying meaning in what people say or do  See the big picture

9.  Thinking Mode  Research a product, buy the best one  Do “The Right Thing”, whether we like it or not  Choose not to buy blue shirt, we already have 2  Establish guidelines to follow for performing tasks  Feeling Mode  Buy something because we like it  Refrain from telling someone something, in case of upset  Decide not to take job, don’t like work environment  Decided to move to be close to someone we care about

10.  We are using Judging when we:  Make a list of things to do  Schedule things in advance  Form and express judgments  Bring closure to an issue so that we can move on  We are using Perceiving when we:  Postpone decisions to see what other options are available  Act spontaneously  Decide what to do as we do it, rather than forming a plan ahead of time  Do things at the last minute
