Okay, I seriously have no idea what you're talking about. Any type can make connections between ideas, that's not really what we're getting at by intuition. ...

It was a response to this:

... Intuition is the connection of ideas ...

I should have added that quote to my post, to be more clear.

This couldn't be truer. And I tend to trust my vibes nearly all the time. Last summer, when my mom (ISFJ), twin sister (INTP), and I (INTJ) took a self-defense class, the teacher (ENFP) was harping on how important it was to trust your intuition in dangerous situations, and everyone there (an ISFP also) agreed other than my mom, who was highly ambivalent and skeptical about this as far as I could tell. Both of my parents (inferior Ne types) tend to be cynical about trusting intuitions, although they tend to forecast negative ones a lot anyhow.

Perfect example of dominant Ni right there!

I'm a Sensor! I have a distaste for negative intuitions, so I can't relate to that part. And I make connections between ideas very easily and naturally (and constantly). However, I also point to reasons why I think X, Y, or Z.

I'm a little surprised at this, because I can't relate to the "S" descriptions AT ALL, but I think I'm probably an Se type.

I think my "gut feelings" are actually Fi ... not intuition.



ADDED:

Well, this would explain why I've been so undecided between ENFP and INFP. I'm neither.

Fi is value judgements based on person, subjective standards (as opposed to Fe, which focuses on more widely accepted, "trans-personal" value judgements), it is a rational function and has nothing to do with "feeling" as the word is commonly used in English (in fact, in the original German Jung wrote in, F was called the German equivalent of "evaluation").

Exact opposite states - the first song is what is there. Not much of a pattern either - just sound. The second song in its nature begs us to focus on what isn't there. No pattern or inherent meaning here either, but automatically there's just this sense of "there's more to this."
