I finally found a site that actually makes sense of N/S instead of taking the exact terminology too literally. You've probably heard that Sensing is concrete thinking and iNtuition is abstract thinking, but it's never been explained more realistically than the admin on celebrity types. He thinks the problem is that Sensing is assiciated with blatant and shallow processing while iNtuition is connected with imagination, and that's because of the way Jung termed his theories. He says that 90% of sensing types at first identify themselves as intuitive until they go to a professional because most people consider themselves imaginative, and that alot of true intuitives don't refer to themselves as the term "intuitive". He thinks that sensing should actually be called inutuition because sensors observe the concrete environment and develop inferences and patterns based on that concrete information, and that inutuition is actually introspection because intuitives use their senses, but observe the mental abstract world of their mind, trusting that more than concrete info. I thought that was an intetesting way of looking at it, especially since this guy is a professional mbti typist and not just some uncertified teen running around on the internet. Tell me what you think of this, and also check out hus site, CelebrityTypes.com, you might be enlightened on the real theory and not just the stereotypes you got off of tumblr and other half witted sites.
