Sensing vs. Intuition

Sensing vs. Intuition

Data-collection Function

Someone who prefers a "sensing" method of data collection will typically value experience and perspiration, they will master something then apply the learned skills, seek (and report) evidence first, specific examples and give their attention to the immediate; Sensors are about facts and details, tend to be literal, are present oriented and will trust the information gained through the 5 senses.

Someone who prefers an "intuitive" method of data collection will typically value insight and inspiration, they will learn new skills then innovate with them, seek (and report) impressions first, general concepts and give their attention to anticipation and vision; Intuitives tend to be theoretical, abstract, figurative, are future oriented and will trust the information gained through their 6th sense.
