Yup. That's really it, in a nutshell. I see not just what's around me, but also project ten seconds ahead into the future. I know where things WILL be and to what probability. There's just a big-picture spatial awareness. And I can skip all the non-essential details, I'm only focusing on the details that matter. I think this might be why it's easy for P's here... you only focus on the essentials, making it easier to keep up with events unfolding in real-time.
To the bolded: I do this too, but I have to actively try very very hard to focus that much. Usually I'm just spacing out and not focused on anything to do with the road whatsoever.
To the underline: No spatial awareness hardly at all. Even if I'm focused on one part of the image in my scope of view, I have a hard time grasping what's outside of that one thing I'm focused on (and again, the focus in itself takes a lot of thought).
And then from the focusing on one part of my surrounding environment, I start imagining how this part of the environment will change (the car to the right of me could potentially swerve into my lane, get a flat tire, pass me, swerve off the road, have a heart attack, blow up, etc.), but then I completely lose grips on the other part of my environment (the car in front of me could be slamming on the breaks, but I might not see, because my effort in that moment is lost in la-la land picturing how the car to my right might swerve into my lane).
I think this exemplifies the main difference between ENTPs and INTPs, in a nutshell. INTPs can expend all their thought on the big picture and analyze that picture in depth, organizing all the different parts of it into a solidified internal structure (though still subject to increasing complexity and change) to predict how the environment might change with a fair amount of accuracy. Meanwhile, ENTPs think loosely about the big picture and loosely put things into an internal structure, but they focus too much on what could be, regardless of how likely this "could be" is, rather than analyzing the variables of the here and now, so they don't have enough mental energy to keep the internal structure stable, so it all falls apart and we get in a car wreck.
Yeah, ENTPs are definitely more likely to suck at driving, imho...
