i see N/S difference as abstract versus concrete thoughts or put differently reading between the lines and reading as is. i'm not saying either is a bad thing; balance is important. what i am saying is that you take what is written about S without a grain of salt... and it just doesn't work that way. there are countless differences, details and unknown entities that neither of us know about in the human mind. therefore, reading descriptions to a T won't help you, since it may not reflect how things actually are, thus leaving the description to be inaccurate.
as for detailing... i would like to test this. honestly, i don't think that N/S difference comes down to paying attention to detail. i pay great attention to much detailing, otherwise i would not be able to analyze it for future use. that's another thing: analysis, and the question why. i obviously can't tell how S works, but to me it would seem that you would rather judge characteristic on face value than analyze them as to why they occur. psychology is a NF profession for a reason; it sometimes does require a certain analytical touch to see what type a person is. and that is something a test, description or observation can never give you.
good, then you know how i feel when you say something like this:
i generally dislike being judged on the surface, whether by first impression of looks or intellect; and i usually don't talk to people who do them. the above quote is exactly the reason behind my behavior towards you.
