I'd lurked on this site for a bit before joining it and had noticed a bias against Sensors- the idea that they are generally less intelligent, less interesting and in general probably worse people than Ns are. This annoyed me, since a good number of my friends and family members are Sensors, so I joined the site as a Sensor just to see what would happen.

Does this mean it's popular to hate sensors again? Are many sensors even interested in mbti? Knowing that you're not an ESTP now I have reverted back to old stereotypes.

Actually it's kind of interesting that you picked an ESTP to pretend to be. I've always thought if I was going to fake a type it would be INFP. I wonder if it's natural for people to think they could pass themselves off as their auxilary buddy.

One final thing, this doesn't mean you're going lessen on the smilies does it? I don't know if I could take that.:cry:

It's difficult to describe, but those that I believe to be sensors seems to focus on whoever is speaking to them. However, those that I believe are intuitives seem to have this fog in their eyes. It is as if they are listening yet at the same time pondering something completly unrelated.

Although I could be confusing N v. S with I v. E. ...

It might be that they are doing more than just absorbing information.. they are making connections and furthering their understanding with their N.

Just a thought.. I know what you're talking about.

:horor: I'd NEVER lessen the smiley use!!! Not since I know that it annoys some people! :devil:

and I love sensors- I have higher Se than I should (worked on that ;) ) and I grew up around a lot of really great sensors, that's why I picked to be one in part :blush:

Thank you. :blush:

To me, that look is the "tell" of an intuitive.
