SENSING vs INTUITION

        S versus N within Meyers Briggs explores the ideas of sensing and intution. These ideas deal with the way that you deal with and view reality. Specifically what you learn from your own senses.

        Individuals who describe themselves as Sensing typically focus on facts and details within situations as well as enjoy hands-on experiences. While those who describe themselves as more Intuitive pay more attention to impressions and patterns throughout events. They enjoy thinking about possibilities.
