: An S's perspective on the N. : My definitions: : N -- iNtuition: delight in theorizing. get tonnes of enjoyment from turning over concepts in their heads, figuring out complex theories, creating new theories. Love to find an inner meaning. (Even more so if it's hidden) Get great satisfaction out of this. love puns, double meanings, and word play. Love detaching from the world to live in the playground in their mind, and love anything abtract and un-obvious patterns and connections. Focus on the general view and the big picture because of this. Make connections between unlikely events. : : S -- Sensing: delight in the senses a lot. get tonnes of enjoyment from being actively involved in the outside world. Especially like the involvement of body directly with universe. live in the moment, experience each moment strongly as it happens. Love the tangible for this reason. Focus on specifics and reality, the here and now. Love engaging in the world, interacting in it, and learn primarily from this interaction. : ps. living in the real world does not mean we are void of imagination. i have huge imagination. so there. : : I think that, for me the best points of the N, is their ability to think in terms of the big picture. I tend to focus on issues, and how they directly affect me and the people i know--my little world. And N's tend to focus on how issues affect humanity, and countries, and the world. : : Also, N's are good to do all the boring theorizing, and endlessly searching out all the boring but necessary unrelated peices needed to complete the big picture. I find it more interesting to try out a condensed version of the theory to see how it actually operates... I find that a lot of the theoretical stuff is extraneous and useless for anything except for entertaining the brains of certain N's. More power to them, though. I am always in favor of things that bring us pleasure. To even this out, often N's seem to find that if something doesn't have a hidden meaning, it is useless, while i find it fascinating in itself - its form, shape, beauty. I love marvelling at physical tangible things. : ahhhh. a new definition. you are lovin this, aren't you, N's?? haha ***So SJ's seem boring in attending to the small, trivial details of things. SP's can seem like simpletons being worked into an ecstacy over simple pleasures or being entertained by sitting on lawn chairs and watching cars drive by and when one honks at them they go into a frenzy. The one thing about S's that pisses me off is the explotation of resources. SJ's planning and financing the exploitation of resources and the SP's doing the manual work. If these people lived more in their imaginations there might not be the current population masses.
