Myers Briggs 16 Personality Types: Major Differences Between Sensing and Intuition

Sensing (S)

  • Notice what is actual and present - the information taken in by the five senses - sight, hearing, touch, smell, and taste
  • Trust and give weight to facts and practical, realistic data
  • Reach or accept generalizations only after they have accumulated enough concrete evidence to feel certain about things
  • Have a mass of accumulated data from their experience that they use to test all new information

Intuition (N)

  • Notice specifics but move very quickly to connecting them to other information to see patterns
  • Trust and give weight to the patterns they see, their associations to other ideas
  • Readily generalise from sparse actual data
  • Test new information by whether it fits (connects) with their intuitive patterns
