Intuition and Sensing - Themes and Details | MBTI

you are getting much better at presentation, your Se is developing pretty well.

Slow and steady, thanks for watching!

[@justice_2257]

As a sensor type this video is so refreshing. Thanks.

[@mandyvincent1439]

intuitive type here. I find sensing types fascinating. I love to talk to them and get out of my own head for a while. When I get into my 'Loop', I find that being around a Sensing type helps me. :)

[@mysterroniouscherry326]

Me too. Although I hate sensors most of the time, but sometimes I find myself amazed of their vast information and facts, very detailed too. But that's only so much u can get from facts, and it's useless if use them to connect all the dots and bring out a conclusion, or pattern, or see what lies beyond what we see or hear, or know of.

[@TheAdhdGardener]

80% Intuitive here. Hubby is sensing and I dont understand him for shit yet we also get along. Weird

[@StefanieSpencer]

I was just thinking it's interesting how it takes time for both the intuitive and sensing types to find that middle ground in your pyramid, but right now the news cycle is going at the speed of light and neither side has time to process the crazy amount of non-stop information, which I think is a factor in the continuous heated arguments that seem to be all over the place. Too much information, too fast, results in chaos it seems.

[@AsuraPsych]

Fantastic point, the frequency of new information in the technological world creates a divide that wouldn't likely be there if people had time to sit down and discuss each problem as it arose before having to worry about the next.

[@VTdarkangel]

Astute observation. I've wondered if the movement of information has become too fast for society to adapt.

[@dasein9980]

Sure, we are bombarded by a lot of information BUT let's not pretend like much of it is meaningful.

[@VTdarkangel]

@@dasein9980 true, but it takes discussion for it to be determined if it is meaningful. If the information is coming so fast that you can only react before it changes, then it's really hard to determine if it's meaningful before you've already gone too far.

Thanks 💖 sensors need more love in the community (ENFP here, from what I gather it's brave to even *be* in this community as a sensor for all the hate and jokes made about you)

[@mysterroniouscherry326]

They have enough, c'mon, they are the commoners, mainstream people😂 (ENFP too, having lots of troubles with XSXJ types, especially Esfj)

[@leggi_bois4eva]

My supervisor asks me for my opinion before enacting changes to procedure or policy. She says that I always bring up issues she would have never though of. I'm that person in the office saying "what about x?" for any and all possibilities that come to my mind. They trust me to be the one to catch any discrepancy before it arises, and I usually do.

[@SDB4202012]

I'm an Intp and even I can have a difficult time completely understanding intuitive-dominant types. I think that the difference between ne and ni is also very important. I think of Ne as being very thematic and Ni, which is hard for me to understand, is instinctual. SPs seem more reactive and less instinctual whereas NJs are more instinctual than reactive. I think this is why you have so many NJs in leadership positions especially the Entj.

[@traditionalgirl3943]

Your pyramid analogy is helpful and simply accurate. Nice job!

[@LucasAppo]

(This comment isnt video related) Lately Ive been wondering about the connection of MBTI and Horoscope and would like to hear others' opinions as well. Im an INTJ (of course) and my sign is Aquarius. When I looked into the characteristics of both, ive found that they are reaaally similar to one and other. Traits in common - Intelectual, analytical, independent, confident, open-minded, hardworking, determined, decisive, aloof, original, discards emotions, uncompromising, hates rules/limitations...just to name a few. My hypothesis is that either, they are connected or synergistic. Lemme explain. If they are in fact connected, maybe Im born as an Aquarius and as I grow up these traits kinda shape me into an INTJ. OR they are synergistic which would mean that they are not connected and Im just a sum total of the traits of the Aquarius and the INTJ. If that was the case, it would make me some kind of super Aquarius/INTJ (not in an arrogant way) beacuse of the similarity of the traits. This makes more sense because not every INTJ is an Aquarius...I think lol. Please let me know what you guys think of the connection of MBTI and the Zodiac, id love to know what you think about it! Last but not least I want to shoutout the one and only Asura for the fabulous videos and for creating a community of awesome INTJs where we can all feel understood. Thank you.

[@nskkk1]

Your horoscope sign is basically period between the months you were born. My guess would be that your cognitive type is formed in last stage of pregnancy. So environmental conditions such as weather could have impact on how pregnancy goes on. I bet there is some correlation between types and months they were born in same climate.

[@jake_with_the_BIG_snake]

I too have wondered about this. I am an ISTP in MBTI and a cancer in the horoscope system. The good part about being cancerous is that it gives you license to troll, hurr hurr :D Anyway when i try to read about this there are so many conflicting ideas but from my understanding cancer seems to correspond to an INFP personality which is very different from an ISTP. I think i am extremely sensitive for an ISTP but i have had to deal with trauma so maybe that is why. Or maybe the horoscope acts as a synergist to my MBTI personality(If you are cancer you are supposed to be very sensitive.). Sure is an interesting idea.

[@Velyren]

As an intuitive (INTP) I highly value and admire the sensors knowledge and attention to detail (specifically all ST's)

[@y2kmedia118]

You should be good at that, your tertiary function is Si so you can aim to develop that (it will compliment your dominant Ti so it'll be extremely useful).

[@terrijamison9154]

As an infj married to a istp I can relate with the communication aspect! I am usually the one that has to make allowances

[@abadi173]

oh i was frustrated for being misunderstood all the time by almost everyone around me not knowing that it was my fault, i have to be more clear and concrete when trying to get my point across, so every time i want to talk about a topic i must bring evidence to support my theory if there is any, and break it down to a simple form.

I like the thumbnail, I always associate the color blue with intuition and the color red with sensing.

[@icecreaminwinter6034]

👍Hahaha omg I just noticed that the thumbnail is the other way around from what I remembered... I somehow connect Sensing with blue and Intuition red Why do we associate things with colours XD ? Like some people see 2 as a yellow colour...

[@Elodie_N_INTJ_Analyzes]

Communication... yes and that’s sad when I think to it. It’s just crazy to know we don’t really talk the same language depending on our type, just because we see the world differently. Me INFJ, brother INTP, mother ESFJ, father was ISTJ. I understand all, but no one of them understand me. I think if all people knew MBTI deeply, the relation between people, parents-children would be really better. It could be good to avoid to be misunderstood, during all the life and childhood.

[@jordanimal8891]

I’m an INTJ and my mom was an ESFJ and dad is an ISTP. I don’t think they ever understood me, but as you said I had no trouble understanding them. Tough as a kid.

[@MA-vf2ir]

Your pyramid diagram is brilliant. This makes perfect sense to me. I like the visual. This is why certain people and I drive each other bat s*** crazy when we try to communicate.

[@cazbee6126]

I love that my ISTP neighbour just pops in and fixes stuff. Boom! Done! No need for it to be added to The List of Exhausting Chores. And the ESTJ, in his blue collared shirt, will pop up into the roof well and... hey, presto... I have a security camera installed. He's pre-purchased all the correct wires n plugs n all! As an Ni dom, I also love having some insight into previously inexplicable reactions to me... speaking (vacant stares, "what makes you the expert" when explaining the obvious, lack of hilarity as I rapid fire funniest monologue ever, etc).

Yep, sensors adapts easily in emergent problems:) I'm always amaze on how they easily come up with solutions :)

[@allygarr8928]

@@sisi9948 As an infj, in times of stress I go into some sort of sensor mode where I just do everything I need to do to get out of the situation. I’ve been told I’m unemotional when stressed because I just become like a machine, trying everything irl that I think might work until something does. Then I burn out and can’t leave the house for like a week.

[@timefortee]

@@allygarr8928 It makes sense for NiFe to go into their shadow TiSe when under stress.

[@jake_with_the_BIG_snake]

Good video! It makes sense that there will be bias in the online typing community against sensors since most people there seem to be intuitive. Also, Intuitive types are most definitely being met with bias from sensors in the real world so i can understand the need to get back because of this. It would be great though if we could learn more from each other instead because we need each other. Especially now since many people seem to lead quite empty lives devoid of meaning. I think intuitive people can teach sensors a lot in that regard. Unfortunately i think most sensors will need to hit rock bottom before they become susceptible to being taught by intuitives in this regard but maybe i am being a bit too pessimistic here. On the other end, sensors can hold intuitives accountable and encourage them to get things done etc. I actually think some of the polarization in society might be because intuitives and sensors don't really understand each other and their respective needs. Sure the media is a large culprit here as well. But for instance, intuitives might feel judged by sensors as lazy and useless(think even Jung as an intuitive wrote something about intuitives having the potential to be the most useless of all men). After being judged by sensors the intuitive might want to get back at them or society since society is very sensor dominated. But there might be no malice behind it, the intention of the sensor might be to try and improve the intuitive to make them more productive so they can have a better standard of living in life and reach their goals. Sensors seem to believe a lot more in the concept of negative help, which i think might make an intuitive prone to label the sensor as a nazi ;)

Thank you for clarifying the division between rational and non rational. I'm not sure most, including MBTI professionals, seem to fully get this. Intuition is closer to a perception than a conception. That's why Nis tend to be cranks and artists lol

[@belen_hummus]

I get your point, but having acknowledged that one is not better than the other, us intuitives deserve more recognition by the world in general because we're the minority, often misunderstood and ignored as the world is largely built by and for sensors.

[@mysteriousstranger7798]

I’d argue that intuition is part of the human psyche in general. Everyone likes to thinking they use intuition because it is arguably what makes us human. The ability to plan and form underlying themes. This is the criticism that f MBTI. IQ and the big five are the best predictors rather than MBTI. Psychologist Jordan Peterson says that MBTI is archaic and invalid. Many psychologists agree.

[@PoetOfFlames]

if you actually did your research you'd realise that MBTI is derived from Jung's works, which posit that all 4 cognitive processes (Sensing, Intuition, Thinking, Feeling) exist within the mind, just with different attitudes (introverted, extroverted) towards each function in a descending order of priority within the conscious and unconscious mind.

[@actuallyjordanpeterson8628]

If you can't even clean up your own room, who the hell are you to give advice to the world? My sense is that if you want to change the world, you start from yourself and work outward, because you build your competence that way. The world presents itself as a series of puzzles some of which you’re capable of solving and some of which you’re not. You have many puzzles in front of you that you could solve but you choose not to. Those are the things that weigh on your conscience. It’s like “I should really do this,” but you don’t. Cause the question is, how much are we contributing to the fact that life is an existential catastrophe and a tragedy? How much is our own corruption contributing to that? That’s a really a worthwhile question. The things you leave undone. Because you’re angry, you’re resentful, or you’re lazy. You have inertia. Well, you consult your conscience and it says, ‘Well, you know, that place over there could use a little work.’ It’s the same as working on yourself. And so you clean that up, because you can. And then things are a little clearer around you. And you’re a little better off, because you’ve practiced a bit. And so you’re a little stronger. And then something else manifest itself and says, ‘Well maybe you can take a crack at fixing me too.’ So you decide to do that and that gets a little more pristine. …and then maybe you’ll learn enough by doing that so that you can fix up your family a little bit, and then having done that, you’ll have enough character so that when you try to operate in the world, at your job, or maybe in the broader social spheres, that you’ll be a force for good instead of harm…
