Following on our Holiday MBTI theme....
....When you send a postcard home will it be
- a montage of all the places you have visited, so that those back home can really get an idea of where you are?
- a sunset - it represents so many things!
How you answered can indicate whether you have a preference towards SENSING or INTUITION. These relate to the types of information you prefer to pay attention to:
SENSING types prefer specific information and facts to find out what is happening. They are observant of what is going on around them and especially focused on the practical realities of a situation.
INTUITION types prefer to attend to the associations between facts rather than the facts themselves. They are interested in connections and looking for ideas and possibilities.
In the workplace there is the potential for confusion in communication when the preferences aren't recognised or understood. Sensing types might be sceptical of concepts and want to see concrete evidence that the idea will work. The Intuition types interpret lots of questions as being nit-picky or challenging. If they can't give the facts and details, the Sensing types see the idea as impractical. On the other hand, Intuition types become bored with the lengthy details and facts presented by the Sensing types!
Next time you are trying to 'sell' and idea just consider what the other person's preference might be.
Let me know how it goes!
