That's why I'm gay.

will 2018 be the year diversity is over?

also, wild, explain your business about sensing

as you might know I have a heavy background in psychology and psychometrics, and I am aware of MBTI as one of many typological theories

but what is so special about sensing vs intuiting

in your own words, what is intuiting, what is sensing, and why is one better than the other

phenomena vs the idea

Also could be seen as "what is" vs "what could be and has been"

elaborate

is this some platonic instance vs essence notion?

Sensors tend to to think that which exists is what is and explanations need to be crafted around it to explain it, and intuitives tend to think phenomena are consequences or emanations of immaterial-isms.

Whether one looks at rocks (sensors) or the waters rushing around them (intuitives)

I think the waters reach deeper to what is True.

so... you are using neologistic terms

but let me still see if I understand

sensor: see phenomenon->compile list of phenomena and their behaviors->attempt to explain

This way of looking at personality was first advanced by carl jung.

while intuitives do what?

yes, I'm aware of Jung

The language is jungian.

It isn't objective.

so attempt to summarize or explain

meet me halfway bro

so as opposed to perceiving phenomena and noting patterns, what does an intuitive do? do they just wake up with gnosis of how the world works?

intuitives tend to see or want to find principles from which all phenomena could thereafter be explained (think einstein, lawrence krauss)

Go to the root first.

Skip the tree.

I don't think like that man

Technically intuitive

You think more like that than you do a sensor.

okay, so sensors pay attention to what is, and intuitives want to find a theory of everything. Is that getting close to your idea?

Yeah, I can work with that.

so what if a sensor looked at so many phenomena and inductively reasoned so much that he too developed an explanatory theory of everything? would he then become an intuitive?

I am generally getting an impression from you that an intuitive is someone who connects dots while a sensor is a hollywood caveman retard who does not connect dots

not so much that the intuitive does not sense phenomena, but that the sensor is restricted to that alone and can't really abstract

both the sensor and the intuitive see the rocks in the stream just fine, but for the sensor it stops there because he is a retard, while the intuitive goes on to notice patterns

I think the sensor would always need to refer his theory to something observable.

A contemplation of pure metaphysics, I don't think he would do.

Like perennial philosophy or something.

so a sensor in your lingo corresponds to an empiricist in philosophic terms

Like sensor, when they're religious, usually are so because they had a personal experience of seeing or feeling the divine.
