Thanks. Looks like S more and more. In trying to research it, I look to sites that say what Sensing vs Intuition are, but like I said, it's hard for me to apply the descriptions to myself. Here are my thoughts on these things:
Sensors
Sensors pay attention to both immediate data from their five senses
Well who the fuck doesn't take in all their information from their five senses? Our senses are what supply our brains with information. Intuitives have to have a source for the information and I'm pretty sure it doesn't just flow in through their skulls. Take away the five senses and both sensors and intuitives would have an equally rough time gathering information. (I just thought of the movie The Box where sight and hearing were taken away from a kid).
and from their own direct experiences.
Yes, I use my past experiences a lot. It's a waste of time and energy to keep coming up with the same solution from scratch every time the problem arises. Might as well remember what you did before and then see if you know of anything better or not to improve on it.
They are create meaning from conscious thought, rather than trusting their subconscious,
"They are create meaning"? Typo. Probably "They create meaning". I don't know which one I rely on more. Thoughts just come into my head.
limiting their attention to facts and solid data.
Gah. "Limiting". I don't like that word one bit. That I'm limited in some intellectual way. Limited means there is a barrier that is impossible for me to cross where others can. Limited means handicapped. I don't mind being limited emotionally. I even take some pride in it. I also hate the term "just the facts". It sounds like some boring, old, dried-up, unimaginative police detective. I guess at work I just want people calling me for support to give me what the error message was, what is happening on their screen right now, and what they did to get it like that and nothing more because I want to get the call over with and get back to what I was doing, which is usually much more interesting, like looking up what has currently caught my interest. I also get a negative feeling from the word "solid". When I first looked at it, it gave me a feeling of being too heavy. Like, solid is just the same material all the way through. Nothing inside. No interesting hidden stuff inside. Just meaningless material. Same with concrete. I could just be getting hung up on my impressions of them, but once I do, it's hard to get past it and think of the terms objectively, so I'll just skip past those.
As necessary, they will happily dig into the fine detail of the situation.
I can't think of any examples of when I did or of how happily I did it.
They focus on what is immediate, practical and real, and live life as it is rather than trying to change the world.
It's hard to determine whether I focus on that or not or if I live life as it is or not. I do know that the word "practical" gives me some negative, limiting, boring, unimaginative feelings. Change the world sounds like an E.
They like logic and tend to pursue things in a clear sequence. At work, they will have a clear schedule and like to use their proven skills in tactical situations.
I like logic and I do tend to pursue things in a sequence, though I don't know how clear it is. I hate schedules at work and I only use mine for reminders so I don't get in trouble because I know I'll forget otherwise. I'd rather have nothing on my schedule so I can do whatever during then. It's like my thing with "10 days". I made up 10 days. It is a unit of time that you use to represent any length of time you wish. It can be a year, a millisecond, 4.65 months, anything. It is the most accurate estimation of time possible. I'm going to lunch in 10 days. I'm getting off work in 10 days. It took me 10 days to type this sentence, as well as this paragraph, and the period at the end of this sentence. Also, you start noticing that a lot of people have things happen in 10 days. I suppose using my proven skills is nice. I like knowing I can do something before I do it.
They may be seen as frivolous or short-sighted by Intuitors.
Great. How does this help? The impression I've given to an Intuitor has never been made aware to me, so this doesn't help at all in determining if I'm a Sensor or not.
Intuitors
Intuitors process data more deeply than sensors and are happy to trust their subconscious and 'sixth sense', gut feel, intuition or whatever you want to call it.
I can't measure how deeply I process data. Who can? And I don't know how much I trust my subconscious. I usually don't know where thoughts come from. Things remind me of other things a lot. I see something, get an impression from it, and if I don't have something that I need to be doing, I explore that impression and usually end up making up things regarding it.
They are good at spotting patterns and taking a high-level view, as opposed to digging into the detail.
I can't think of any examples in which I spotted patterns, took a high-level view, or dug into the details instead.
They like ideas and inspiration and tend to have a focus on the future, where they will plan to change the world rather than continue to live in the imperfect present.
I like ideas a lot. Inspiration is good. I don't really think about the future THAT much, but neither do I think about the present much. I usually daydream. What if I was walking with my family on the street and some hooligans jumped out and tried to attack us. And they even had a knife or a gun! And he held it to my head and I just stood there still and calm like it was nothing. And my family was all scared and didn't know how we'd get out of this situation. And the guy's yelling in my face to do whatever dumb thing he wanted me to do. And then I quickly grab the gun and break his elbow, knee him in the face, kick and break his knee and point the gun to him as he's laying on the ground and say in a calm but serious voice, "get the fuck out of here" and he scrambles away. Then of course my family is probably horrified at me, but they are awed and amazed, if even scared. They thought I was different than that. They didn't know I was capable of that. They underestimated me. Everyone underestimated me! Mwahahahahaha! Yeah.
At work, they like to acquire new skills and working at the strategic level.
I guess I don't know tactical vs strategic. I do love acquiring new skills. I have this batch file virus thing and I'm always trying to make it better and be more invincible.
They may be seen as impractical, theoretical and lacking determination by Sensors.
I've NEVER thought of someone as impractical, theoretical, or lacking determination that I can think of. My brother comes to mind, though. He tested as INTP. At camp, he was trying to find a solution to the problem in my card game where someone can win in the first 2 turns. I suggested raising everyone's defense at the beginning. He wanted me to change the function of the Joker to be able to attack with the cards in an additional pile called the reserve pile, in which you can place cards each turn. He said the Joker, being the rarest card, should have more of an interesting role than just a wild card. His idea sounded interesting, but then I quickly realized and pointed out (while packing up my tent without missing a beat) that most of the time people don't get a Joker and so any cards placed in this pile would never get depleted. Since winning requires one to get rid of all of their cards, winning would hinge entirely on getting a Joker, making the game MUCH more luck based, which is what I was trying to get away from.
