My sense of direction is very poor if going to a place for the first time. However, I never forget a place I have been. And Penelope, don't feel so bad, Atlanta is a horrible mess to navigate.
It's like driving through a battlefield. Except no one is shooting at you, and all of the other soldiers don't know wtf they're doing.
Yeah, all while hoping and praying it doesn't start raining...and even worse, God forbid there's a "huge ice storm" that will cripple the city for 2-3 days. Any day it's raining I know it's gonna be at least and hour and a half to get back home! Oh ATL, how I love and hate you all at the same time!
I expect them to have the roads memorized. I'm still amazed by my friends who've grown up here and don't know the names and numbers of roads and highways. But that just means I get to tell them, and I love doing that. So we all win.General sense of direction...? How does that work? The only way I know to get around is to memorize streets and highways. If I don't know exactly how to get somewhere, I figure out which direction it's in, and head that direction. If something's southeast, I'll just keep taking roads that lead southeast until I get where I want!
<- still has Atlanta memorized from when he lived there...9 years ago? I loved that place. It's like driving through a battlefield. Except no one is shooting at you, and all of the other soldiers don't know wtf they're doing.
Hmm... well.... S types might be able to describe EXACTLY where they are... but NP types can get a general sense of where they are and how to get to their destination.
I have a wonderful sense of direction - navigation wise. But don't ask me about left and right...
Nah, if I'm truly an ISTJ, then no it's not true. My sense of direction is horrible.
