I just finished reading Keirsey's Please Understand Me II. He seems to feel that sensors can be divided into two distinct groups, SJ and SP, or Guardians and Artisans. But what I've experienced IRL is that it's never is clear cut as that.
For example, I know an SJ, or Guardian, who seems to have a large amount of SP traits. He's definitely SJ because his dominant motivation seems to be safety, security, conventionality, and aquisition of property. But some others of his traits are so very SP that it's rather confusing to me.
Another person I know is the same way. She has many SJ traits, including the extreme need for order and cleanliness at all times, and punctuality. But she also has many SP traits such as unconventionality, spontanaity, and a need for lots of fun and stimulation (but only after the housework is done!).
This has left me very confused. Has anyone else experienced something similar? How about you sensors, do you feel that what I've described is often true of you or other sensors that you know?
