I wrote something similar to "?"'s analogy. I was stating that both S and N have ways of perception, but T and F give those perceptions meaning (likened to judgment).

If neither T nor F are developed, then perceptions will be taken without the expression of any kind of meaning.

You can notice details in the environment by way of Sensing or you can come up with concepts and ideas by way of iNtuition.

But without a developed Judgment function, we really can't understand what we see or conceive; it just is.

Hence, I don't think an iNtuitive will necessarily look for meaning unless balanced with a T or F function.

A Sensor will also understand meaning based on what they see with their eyes (how and why things work), but only if their Judgment functions are developed. A Sensor with a Thinking preference will likely understand how and why machines work (objective analysis), while a Sensor with Feeling will look at their environment and wonder what it means to them.

I said in a post elsewhere that this is what I think autism is about: an overdeveloped Perception function (either S or N) but underdeveloped Judgment, meaning they can either observe details or conceive notions, but transforming them into something useful or meaningful will require development of T or F.
