Intuition works better 1-1; Sensing information on the other hand is easily transmitted to groups of people. because of this, ENXXs will often feel out of place in groups thinking "how am I supposed to exchange ideas with this many people?!"
when was the last time you tried to have a serious intellectual group conversation? chances are one of 3 things happens
1) everyone just agreed
2) 2 opposing sides popped up that started bickering and
3) 1-2 people ended up doing all the talking while everyone else got bored and stopped paying attention completely
on the other hand, Sensing information tends to be much more easily transmitted from 1 person to a group of people. "the meat was red", "I punched him in the face" "my cat was so cute sitting by the window". the communication of Sensing information tends to be more one sided.
1) person A gives a piece of data
2) person B receives the piece of data
3) that's that
there's little room for response or interpretation (at least, not from the use of more Sensing)
Intuitive information on the other hand operates on more of a back and forth, exchange sort of basis, and this works much better one-one. new concepts are brought up, questioned, explained, elaborated on, and tied into various contexts.
I don't mean to say that Sensors are incapable of being intellectual (that would be like saying Intuitives are incapable of driving a car or following a routine), only that Ne and Ni tend to be more at home in the realm of 1-1 convo while Se and Si tend to fair well in communicating information to groups (though, obviously, both will have to do both. you can't just give the theoretical principles 1-1 and the detailed data to groups. they're completely different types of information and both are necessary to communicate fully). for this reason, ENxx types frequently mistype as introverts.
