Intuitives are complex, sensors are simple

you are about to get ripped for this, but it's kind of true. sensors aren't simplistic or stupid but they think very straightforwardly, which leads to a lot of trade-offs. i think sensors do miss out from not being able to see outside the box as well, but an intuitive's world can get all confused from time to time, and often if.. say.. you're not in a career which requires intution it's really kinda useless and it's much easier being a sensor most of the time.

People around me always says that I'm crazy, even my own best friends and sister (ENFP).
I think that explain my opinion. No, I don't believe that Sensors are simple and Intuitors are complex. Some Intuitors that I know IRL are boring, ordinary, and VERY predictable.

I find that sensors can be extremely complex, sometimes to the point of seeming magical and mysterious. I knew one once who always knew exactly how I was feeling without my having to say anything, and I felt like he could read my mind. He said that he did it by observing me visually. Is that even possible? I was sitting perfectly still, without making any intentional facial expressions.

If I may suggest (not assume) that perhaps sensors are simpler in thought, but more complex in their actions.. whereas intuitive are complex in thought, but simple in action. Nothing I've stated has anything to do with intelligence by the way.

My wife's an N and even after 15 years she still hasn't been able to completely figure me out.

There can be distortions, it ties in with bad experiences, shadow types. Sometimes context..
These are just preferences, and not something that instantly makes someone a certain way. A strong Sensor will be different from a strong Intuitive in how they process information, but what about those whose preference is weaker?

How exactly are these preferences quantified?
Online tests can give a vague idea of how strong or weak your preferences are, but apart from that I don't really think that preferences can be quantified.

I think that sensors are complex to intuitives and vice versa. We find our own types easier to understand. If we don't understand them they seem complex.
well no. because a strong sensor is more likely to think A -> B -> C, wheras an intuitive might just think ((*£&(&$£)$%.
i literally cannot imagine what goes on in the mind of a sensor. my ISFJ/P mom says she simply doesn't think about anything or might think about memories and things. that's just bizarre.

If your mom does the memory thing a lot I would say she is an SJ cause she would be using Si.
Also, I am a very simple person.

Are you asking me the defintiion of Si?
Reviewing past experiences; "what is" evoking "what was"; seeking detailed information and links to what is known; recalling stored impressions; accumulating data; recognizing the way things have always been

My school age ESTP son has a better memory than I do. I have no short-term memory whatsoever.
