Seriously intuitives are overrated: All of the sites that I have ever been to and every test that I have ever seen tends to act like intuitives are naturally better then sensors overall. They act like intuitives are like X-Men mutants or something and like they are like the new and evolved version of human beings. The tests do everything but come outright and say, "If you are an intuitive you are basically just born superior." It's certainly true that intuitives tend to be much better than sensors at thinking outside the box, looking at the big picture and thinking of what's going happen in the future and not just what happened in the past or in the present moment, understanding abstract concepts, and tend to be more imaginative than sensors overall. Yes, these things are what are truly great about intuitives.
However, I think that intuitives tend to be overrated. Many people don't really think about the drawbacks of being an intuitive. For instance, because intuitives are so imaginative, many of them live in somewhat of a fantasy world and they are way out in outer space. I can't tell you how many intuitives that I know that are not in touch with reality at all. The problem with this is that many of them kind of don't know what the hell is going on around them. For example, I am a college student and I have met countless intuitives that are going to college for some type of random subject that won't get them a job...period. For instance, many intuitives go to school for philosophy. Philosophy is a very abstract subject that many intuitives can intellectually masturbate to, but they really won't get you a job. Now just about all of my sensing friends tend to much more aware of reality and what's really going on in real life, and tend to be more likely than many intuitives to go to school for something useful that will actually get them a job. Not all intuitives tend to be academic, however. For instance, many NF's tend to get lost in this romance/twilight world of theirs and tend to also get lost in their imaginations. Also, many NT's tend to get lost in their imaginary online gaming worlds for instance. I can't even tell you how many INTP's that I have met that tend to get lost in "World of Warcraft" for instance, and tend to actually think that they are a Knight from the game and that becomes their entire life.
Sensors tend to be grounded in reality, and tend to know what's going on in real life. Also, they tend to not become so lost in the future that they completely neglect the present, and this is sadly something that many intuitives are guilty of. Again, I think that sensors are underrated and that intutives are not as good as they are trumped up to be. \
