IXXPs are known as Reflectors; they want to see an idea from every angle individually to preserve the purity of each impression (extraverted perceiving helping introverted judging).
EXXJs and IXXPs are both known as Discoverers; they try to seek methods to protect against a clouded judgment in order to have a clear view of all things.
EXXPs and IXXJs are both known as Inventors; they like to look for better means of accomplishment, even if they have to go against accepted theories by utilizing anomalous or untested phenomena.
The main difference between the two is that Inventors use synthetic propositions to consider everything as connected simultaneously using symbols in order to make use of something and Discoverers use analytic propositions to keep their ideas completely separate using strict definitions for use in the juxtaposition of competing interpretations. This is partially due to the powerful yet neglected influence of the Responsible Function, which causes Discoverers to want to perceive (combustion is turning a gear) to validate their a priori judgments (energy can be harnessed from combustion), or Discover, and Inventors to want to judge (the gear can be used to propel a vehicle) to validate their a posteriori perceptions (combustion is turning a gear), or Invent (Inventions may also precede Discoveries, such as occurred with the pregnancy risks Discovered after the Invention of thalidomide). Referential judgment is used as a form of limitation and is supported by Responsible speculation, and Referential perception is used as a form of speculation and is supported by Responsible limitation. A priori synthetic statements are typically used subconsciously by both Discoverers and Inventors in the third Attitude, and a posteriori analytic statements have been shown to be non-existent by Immanuel Kant. As Discoverers, EXXJs Judge shared information to interpret the actions of others and IXXPs Perceive relevant associations. As Inventors, EXXPs Perceive improvements in the relative abilities of others and IXXJs Judge optimal solutions. To use the story of the bird in the tree, one could not have Discovered it without a prior notion (a priori) assuming it was nearly the shape and color of the leaves of the tree, but once it has been Discovered it could be used to Invent anything without and even despite prior considerations (a posteriori), such as a carrier pigeon. In addition, to make the Discovery, scanning occurs for separately-differentiated bird-like characteristics, but for the Invention, birds and letters must be combined together and then considered inter-symbolically and in conjunction with each other in order to explore the possibility for a postal network. Using the idea that Judgment is based on information that is available, and Perception is based on information that is not (which is why Perceivers seem to have an aptitude for fluid intelligence which is experience-independent, and Judgers seem to have an aptitude for crystallized intelligence which is experience-dependent ("Intelligence in Relation to Jung's Personality Types". Furnham, Moutafi, & Paltiel. 2005.)), it is possible to show that: EXXJs use available information to Discover (Referential limitation), which is useful for coming to conclusions; EXXPs use unavailable information to Invent (Referential speculation), which is useful for taking specific precautions; IXXJs use available information to Invent (Referential speculation), which is useful for being resourceful; IXXPs use unavailable information to Discover (Referential limitation), which is useful for developing new branches of study. Judgers focus on perceiving in a new way something that is often judged, and Perceivers on judging in a new way something that is often perceived, so that Discoverers focus on the judging aspects and Inventors focus on the perceiving aspects.
*Extraverts, seeking to impose order, are quick to judge (EJ) and slow to perceive (EP). Introverts, seeking a selective advantage, are quick to perceive (IJ) and slow to judge (IP). Explorers are not Discoverers because they have no preconceived bias and are not trying to confirm (Discover) an expectation.
