Posted a similar thread in the intuitive feeler forums... I've noticed in myself a certain view point that comes across as prejudiced: I honestly do not view any sensors (especially high sensors) as intelligent... I know they have a practical intelligence and the planet would not run if it was full of vissionaries without the mindless doers... Do any of you find yourselves having similar notions?

[lirulin]

No. I know too many smart ones. And they are certainly not "mindless."

But you're certainly not alone in your opinion, sadly.

Oh yeah.

Really strong sensors drive me nuts. SJ's in particular.

They have no need or interest in the long view, theory, or governing idea. They just want to know why my room is still dirty.

Makes it hard to accept them as intelligent. Even though I know many that are genuinely smart.

Well I understand that they have different intelligences... I accept it but I guess I should rephrase myself and use the word simple... I don't understand people that are content with the simple things... Sure the term can mean alot of different things... I have met sensors that were not heavy sensors and they were intelligent but the heavy sensors just seem like animals to me... They can be one with their envirnment but some of them lack the ability for higher forms of thought (depth)...

They're the kid that kept asking, "Are we there, yet?" They're creatures of the moment. Makes it difficult to take them seriously.

Looks to me like being a high intuitive skews your view of what intelligence is towards intuition.

Could intuitives get by without sensors?

Maybe.

We'd innovate and theorize, and we could still take action and build stuff. Just imagine a bunch of nerds building a pyramid. A lot would die and it would be inefficient, but eventually it would get done.

But could sensors carry out the same designs that intuitives do? And I'm talking about science and the humanities (U.S. Constitution, anyone?). No; it's behaviorally impossible. Sensors do not design like that. I can't imagine a sensor conceiving of something like the U.S. constitution or even our modern business accounting system (designed by an Italian intuitive, used by sensors).

I think, hypothetically, if we were to make all intuitives disappear, humans would be stuck in one mode of existence forever, never advancing, never enriching.

I've known quite a few super smart sensors and a few airhead intuitives, most of whom where self-aggrandizing to boot.

I also think that heavy sensors resemble animals.

I mean, what difference is there between a heavy ESTP and great white shark, for example? Besides the shark not being able to talk because its species didn't evolve the need to, both creatures are just really adept at moving and seize immediate opportunities.

Seriously, you guys need to get out more. Your perspective is rather limited.
