how?
what is the quickest/fastest, and most efficient ways to know right-away if the person is an N, or an S , when you encounter 'em in daily-life & surrounding you?
I don't think there is a fool-proof method, to be honest.
It depends how well you know the system already,
and what you know and what you don't know.
I think N and S are the toughest to discern because those cover how a person
prefers to
take in information. Since we can't see them thinking, we have to wait for them to say something.
I guess my ISTP husband would say that an N is more likely than an S would be to not see something and bump into it. An S would be more likely to be eavesdropping on conversations or paying attention to their surroundings.
Never forget this is about
preferences, so if you have limited contact with someone, it's possible you might be catching them at a time when they might not be using their preferred dimension.
Once a person starts talking, you can kind of tell what type they might be by how literal and specific they tend to be, or whether they frequently use general statements and give the general idea of something.
It's always better when you know a few real-life examples to compare with.
I don't personally feel comfortable jumping to conclusions about someone's type.
I just deal with the individual dimensions.
For instance, my
INFP sister absolutely hates it when I want to help her do something the "quickest/fastest, and most efficient way". So frankly, I tend to think all INFPs have a tendency to consider speed and efficiency unimportant in meeting their goals in life. Just because you said that, should I assume one of you is not an INFP?
No. What I do, is assume I don't know enough yet.
