I dislike how N is described some vague tendency to believe in shit without reason. With well-developed T, truth could not be further from that.
From my POV, S people need more often to have the points hammered in their brains for them to get them. S people doubt real, long-established scientific results that affect billions of people on the basis of their own haphazard observations. S confuse the terms "real" and "practical" with what they are able to understand or care about, which is often limited to smaller things. More often than not this means, "what am I going to get from this?"
If they do start to "believe" in science, then they let the science magazine editors think for themselves.
S people roam in the endless ocean of useless information tidbits like baseball scoring charts, years, recipies, quotes, anecdotes and if-then connections of the simplest kind. If anyone oversimplifies it's the S (exaggeration intended
In my country, people extremely widely hold the opionion that university graduates earn less and are more often unemployed, because the subject matter taught in universities is so unpractical.
Again latest statistics proved this to be exactly the opposite, graduates earning more and having a lower unemployment rate. Well, duh, facts are S's domain, so did loads of Ss embrace this new information? Noooooo.
THe newspaper forums were filled with people telling examples of university people they know who supposedly do badly in the work they are, and how (dogmatically speaking) the released information can't be true in light of the "well-known-fact" that university studies are indeed worthless.
S are arrogant bastards who mistake their short-sightedness for their "practical skills". I have to say for S's defences that it does take quite an (intuitive) leap to translate university studies in subject X into being employed in business Y. For S, everything matches for the same kind of shit. Carpenter school graduates become, uh, carpenters.
That's enough ranting for today. I'll go sign up for this semester's studies (really).
