Well, i would usually see sensing capabilities as things most often discribed on tests to rule out preferences for N vs S. Mostly though, it is the living in the now factor. The being aware now. I think that while Ne takes in a lot of information, it needs time to process it properly. At the same time, via my observation, Se takes in the same info and process it faster, less complex, but still along the same path. So i think what is the time waisted in being an N. Does it make that much of a difference in understanding and accuracy?
Intuition seems to be more time oriented, more interested in what it can extrapolate from sensory input than the direct impression of the input itself.
How did this come to be and what will it turn into?
To me as a sensor this seems like constantly running on an internal treadmill when you could be just enjoying things for what they are with no, or very little, regard for what they were or might become.
Studying the past or planning for the future are, to me, housekeeping chores -- something that needs to be done sometimes for practical purposes and then let go of so you can go back to enjoying right now.
It is true that the only "time" you will ever
be alive in is
this moment.
Every other temporal space
might have been or
may be, but
is not.
The Aesops fable about the ant and the grasshopper is intended to praise the ant's industriousness and deride the grasshopper's blithe disregard for the future in favor of enjoying the now.
But the grasshopper was always my hero.
He enjoyed the summer while it lasted and passed on when it did.
What could be more perfect than that?
Is it better to survive a long time and only live a little or to survive for only a season an live a lot?
I guess it's a matter of taste and a preference that divides sensors from intuitives.
