Walter:
Let's start from the foundation of establishing a working hypothesis, rather than my own biased, anecdotal impressions.
Hypothesis #1: Most FOURS will internalize information and draw conclusions about things without necessarily having direct exposure to events.
Hypothesis #2: Most SEVENS will internalize external information but are reluctant to extrapolate to new experiences because they lack direct evidence to support a conclusion.
Expected Result #1: FOURS have an inate ability to iNtuit conclusions leading to non-action because of fear of the outcome; whereas SEVENS will tend to iNtuit conclusions and then tend to move toward action because they distrust iNtuitive conclusions and must have Sensory information in order to feel comfortable.
Expected Result #2: SEVENS tend to Sensors/iNtuitors (Sn); FOURS tend to iNtuit/Sense (Ns).
Anecdotal Observation: SEVENS are more likely to be more balanced in scoring S v. N on MBTI; whereas FOURS tend to prefer sN (with Intuition being the clearly a dominant preferrence).
