How to Think Like an Extraverted Sensor... Literally

[@stevedavenport1202]

The thing I often hear from SE dominant types is "We will cross that bridge when we get there"

[@quinnrouse3520]

My inferior is Se(INTJ) Sensing types sound like my counter part. The warriors to my mage. The sword to my shield. It's hard for me to fathom this type of living since it's feels opposite of who I am. I don't leap until I know it's time for me to do so. I don't adapt in real-time, I need a moment to process and execute.

[@deadshepherd666]

The way you portray the ESFPs thinking, it's really a pretty good picture of how I think. First, it's like taking in a situation totally, trying to get as much detail as possible from the present. Then it's taking very deliberate steps to move closer to achieve the desired change for the situation. As the steps are taken, I always look directly back at the source and re-examine the picture to see if I've created the desired outcome. This is usually in the form of interpreting people's emotional state and seeing if they're engaged or confused. Or I judge myself according to whether I'm doing a good job, which is really value laden- not whether I've taken the correct position or am right in any logical sense, but more a question of "am I being the person I want to be right now?". I always proceed as concretely as I can, sacrifice speed for a literal approach. I rarely reflect on a long-term goal either, rather that each step I take is addressing the current situation as specifically as possible. This is a snapshot of what it's like when I teach. Finally, the whole exercise does feel like walking in and out of a tennis game. Just thought I would relate my experience since your video summarizes it so accurately.

[@GeekPsychology]

+Hidden Doors Great insight! Well, I'm just reporting what I learned from Dario Nardi's books. But I'm happy to hear you explain it in a similar way, too. :) What do you mean by you "sacrifice speed for a literal approach" ?

[@viktorianagudi4459]

That's so crazy. As an intuitive I feel so detached from the world that I regularly question whether or not it's even real (see solipsism. Pretty sure an N came up with that!)

[@marcvesper]

The downside: Se types will be, consciously or not, creating crises they can thrive in when none are available. SP politicians (the norm in democracies) highlight this as an issue when scaled-up.

[@GeekPsychology]

lol. I instantly thought of the Se types in my life and just giggled about creating crises. They certainly keep things interesting. :D

[@deadshepherd666]

Kind of. For me it's more like a tendency to wait until something becomes a crisis before acting on it.

[@MrLuigiFercotti]

"Crisis put them into flow" So that's why I can't get going (procrastinate?) until code red, then it's peddle to the metal. Oh, and that not finishing things , too. Ugh!

[@GeekPsychology]

It’s a struggle, isn’t it?! Extraverted Perceivers often need that last minute urgency. Not to say we should structure our lives around it, but it’s an important thing to remember.

[@peregrination3643]

"But if you think this tissue box looks like a car with no wheels, then you're probably an intuitive." ...Thanks?

[@Luan_King]

I can see the 4 wheels haha

[@attheranch873]

There are wheels.

[@DGolden247]

22:40 omg My aunt, who I've suspected to be an ESFP for a very long time, will send pictures with inspirational quotes or witty comments ALL THE TIME to family and friends! and she has all these funny videos from facebook saved for whenever she wants to share them with someone lol. She's also a nurse who works _a lot_ of hours On top of all that, her house is very well decorated, like everytime I step inside her home immediately my own sense of creativity is activated, just from seeing how the colors and shapes of the decor that she uses interact, and I get the feeling to just sit down and work on my writing. Anyway, I must say thank you for making these videos on Dario Nardi's work, I had been familiar with it before but I never really got the chance to learn what brain regions each type uses. Now that I know I feel like I got a more solid understanding of each type and another angle to look at besides MBTI or Socionics.

[@GeekPsychology]

lol! My mom, an ESFP, does that too. Isn't it cool how sensory-heavy ESxPs can be? They carry it around with them in everything they do. Oh cool. Glad to share another set of tools. Dario Nardi does great work - I hope my videos get him more attention.

[@Bonnie-sd7et]

I just want to put my hands in that aqua sand/gloop right now 🌊 The description of how the brain's primed for action sounds and feels very much like a highly sensitive extrovert or even someone with some cPTSD maybe. Oh and the original hunter gatherers would've benefited from this brain too with default preparation for defense or attack. I've wondered about the link between HSP, trauma and whether you're a shy extrovert vs a more secure one. ESFP is the result I got several times on different tests but I always wrote it off because of the shallow party animal stereotype. I mean sure I could've seemed shallower twenty years ago to those who didn't know me and was always the one instigating a night out and I've struggled to determine S vs N for a bit because I can definitely go either way. Ponderings.

[@SuchingYan]

The tissue box looks like cars WITH wheels and I think that's like that for everyone coz it's so obviously a car with a face on it 🤣

[@Raphsophomes]

Hatching little mini strategies but they aren’t strategies they are like.. Instincts, but very very clear instincts, like in a fast paced video game I can navigate, I know what’s coming at me and from where, I know where people usually are and get the drop, I pick up a move set, use it once to see what it does, and then I know how it’s used and how I could use it personally. In my flow state everything is clear. I get a serious high out of it. Now tennis I think would suit me. I’m focused on me, and the thing. The rules can be adapted to via muscle memory. Or boxing too. Good analogies man you come up with a million of those a second lol, also a good example, my brother can play the game without audio, but I can’t. I become severely handicapped. He says “just sound affects” and I say “it’s everything I can’t see”

[@isskierka0549]

Brilliant video! It's not ur fault of course but I still can't decide whether I am an ISFP or an INFP :/

[@erinbyrd5377]

How does a high Se user orient himself or herself in time and space? All people have a concept of past, present and future, and I know that an Se user’s Ni tethers Se to a personal narrative but I want to know more about how this cognitive axis actually works.

[@4thNebula]

Here is a question regarding Se and Si. My ESFJ brother in law really enjoys just sitting in the boat watching the line waiting for a fish to bite. I love more fly fishing where I can be in motion a lot of the time and doing a lot of variation in expectation and motion. Am I using Se or Si more.

[@GeekPsychology]

Just based off that, Se would seem to be the one wanting to adapt and flow with the moment - action, adrenaline, etc.

[@sheledon3272]

The only problem I have with the analyses is that there doesn't seem to be enough subjects of measure. I've always believed MBTI, but I wish there was more funding to find objective data. We can't just believe what happened to one ESFP. I also haven't read the book, obviously, so maybe he studied more people than just one for the ESFP example. Anyways I love the video. Whenever I take MBTI function tests I score high on Se but not as high as Ne. My Ti is higher than Se usually.

[@GeekPsychology]

+Sheledon XNTP He did study many. Not just 1. Sorry if it came off like that.

[@nurglesgift394]

"this would be the perfect state to be in when there's a crisis", Couldn't agree more! :) Awesome video man!

[@GeekPsychology]

+Ick3 p Right? And thanks!

[@GeekPsychology]

With the "How to Think..." series? Introverted Sensing is on the way! Then... hmm...

[@nurglesgift394]

hah, you caught that ;) Guess i should thank you for finding Dario Nardi :) Listen to alot of his interview's this week, funny guy and interesting stuff, just might have to read the book :) And if it wasent in the book, just have to share his funny story, His subjects had blind-dates and all the right places that show interest was lighting up in the brain, untill the female told that her family had all converted to christianity, then it all disapeared in a sec :D and even thou it sort of was an missunderstanding the interset never returned, found that hilarius :P Also Peterson (i like his worldview if you cant tell) and alot of others seam to be into "The Big Five" personallity theory, i havent really looked into it, but they all seam to ignore MBTI. they should be able to overlap or one of them is wrong if you ask me ;)

[@thibautzadina7013]

@lck3 p ifeel the big five seems more concrete and effective in the physical world for now and the workplace... but mbti seems more scientific and close to the real truth (even though peterson says it is an outdated theory)

[@AlliandWill]

Cool channel and content! Subscribing!

[@GeekPsychology]

+Life Progression Project Thank you :D You have a good set of videos.

[@budinurgraha5167]

Can u stop smalk talk? Straight to Point then small talk

[@berkaytugrel]

You little handsome guy...

[@LycrusGaming]

i think se´s people got a much better timefeeling then ne`s

[@budinurgraha5167]

So Sensor is stupid people. They dont Think what they do

[@distorteddingo9230]

That's not how MBTI works. Sensor types uses five senses to gain environment to gain knowledge. Intuitive types use prior knowledge, patterns to Cross reference their current environment with a past experience.
