intellectualism is an N activity. Sensors can certainly be intellectual, but they are using their N function heavily to do so
Care to quantify why that is so then? I've never read any such thing in any typology books I've read. Or is this your Intuition telling you this? If so, enlighten me. What makes that intuition more reliable than decades worth of work done not just by Jung or Myers, but at this point, by a commitee?
Or is MBTI something you think you're free to interpret.. like a philosophy or something? Feel free, I guess, but I wonder.. why borrow other people's system and mangle it at random? Wouldn't it be easier (maybe even more profitable) to create your own personality theories?
That all out of the way, if Sensors are using N in these realms (and I don't necessarily deny that), then how is Ni playing out specifically for ISPs? What is it about Ni that makes this remarkable? Results done by a typical "down to earth" type of intellectual shies away from Ni. For example, it could be the plodding, investigative work of a field researcher.. someone who's keen about facts and evidence. That, or someone who could be very hands on and encyclopedic about many facts in their field.. like a botanist, for example. Someone who disciplines themselves to avoid any far flung conclusions they haven't found support for. You'd be hard pressed to say there's a lot of Ni in their perceptions. Some of these people might even bore some N types... yet they may both be intellectual in their own right.
Or are you saying that just the idea of someone even doing "research" is N in itself? Back to relegating us to eating hot dogs again. I guess.
