Jung's Function-Attitudes Explained by Henry L. Thompson, Ph.D.

Myers and Briggs added the perceiving/judging model. As the last of the four letters in a type (P/J), judging/perceiving tells whether a judging (Thinking/Feeling) or perceiving (Sensing/iNtuition) function is extroverted in a given functional pair. A functional pair has one introverted and one extroverted function, and if the extroverted function is a perceiving function (Sensing/iNtuiting), the orientation is P/perceiving. If the extroverted function is a judging function (Thinking/Feeling), the orientation/last letter is J/judging. Quote from the book:

"The assignment of the orientation identifier (J or P) is determined by the function with the extroverted attitude in the functional pair."
