[Anom] ifferences between positively skewed, reverse j-shape, negatively skewed and J-shape?

I get a little bit confused when it comes to distinguishing the differences between them, For instance, J-shape and reverse j-shape just seem like a variant of negatively skewed and positively skewed.
What was a bit surprising to me was the fact that "number of major derogatory reports" and "the number of delinquent trade lines" plots are actually reverse j-shape distributions. Is this because they are extremely skewed on one end?

"years on current job" is positively skewed. But could you say this is reverse j-shaped also?
