The Perseus system focuses
mainly on how people perceive.
The Perseus system uses
a flexible animal model
The Perseus system emphasises
the Judging-Perceiving scale and virtually ignores the Introversion-Extroversion
scale
The Perseus system was
developed by the work of Frances Wickes and from literature and parables
and religion.

Contradictions:
Dr. Keirsey recommends Rational-Idealist
pairings and suggests that the best combinations would be the ‘opposite,’
that is, ENTJ with INFP, ENTP with INFJ, INTJ with ENFP, and INTP with
ENFJ. Each of these pairs has the ‘N’ in common, but nothing else. Anecdotal
evidence appears to support his suggestions. If the couple has too much
in common, they are likely to have some obvious weak areas. For example,
a Rational Inventor (ENTP) with an Idealist Champion (ENFP) have only one
letter different. This couple is likely to have lots of fun generating
ideas and excitement but may have difficulty actually bringing ideas to
fruition. Also, it is likely that neither one of them will be wild about
housework or maintenance. Couples with a lot in common may find it easier
to communicate but may also find it more difficult to get everything done.

Myers-Briggs
(Team Technology)
Jung's typology was popularized
in the United States by Myers-Briggs who added a fourth factor -- the judging-perceiving
preference which relates to the propensity to stop perception to make a
decision.
The
judging type does this sooner than the perceiving type
