Some Ss are sensory fails too, strange as that may seem. Being interested in sensory information isn't quite the same as noticing everything that goes on around you, unfortunately. I'm often looking around me but it's like "hey look at that" "look at that" "look at that" not seeing the whole environment. Last night for example, I was looking at the pretty snow falling on my walk home and didn't see anything else at all.
fair point!!

that's a really good point. just because it's a tendency doesn't mean you're focused or interested. same holds true for N. i practice yoga and have found that it helps me shut down N and focus on S, which can be entirely more pleasing and engaging, not to mention lead to more insight.
i hope no one is reading N/S bias into my statements because there is definitely none believed, in either direction ;
