There is seemingly no time set to interpretation, they just know. It is as though they know exactly what the other person means, at all times. While myself, an S type, even in conversation with another S does not have this quality. It is as though I know exactly what I'm talking about, but I have to go far out of my way to get the other person to understand exactly what I'm saying or the point that I'm making. Two S types I find have the hardest time at this.
An S type talking to an N type, as far as I've heard brings stress to the N type. They're so used to being immediately comprehended that having to go out of their way for an S to comprehend them is seemingly a waste of time (as I have seen. May not be the case for all.)
What are your thoughts?

This is sort of how I recognize other N's. I know who I connect with by just expressing concepts, and who is not "getting it" and who I need to be more explicitly with. Some S's demand a lot of tangibility. And it's exhausting sometimes for me to deal with.
S's, I think, need to have things more specific and clearly stated for them to really grasp everything. It is just how they work. So even when an S speaks, N's can still usually grasp the concepts and make the connection, but an S listener demands more specifics.
Most S's, though, seem to think in specifics, so they don't seem to mind as much to have to be so specific. (maybe you are different here, I don't know.) I remember being irate with S's who tell me FAR more detail than I need, when I already understood their point five minutes ago.
I don't know. I guess this is just a post of affirmation.
