Document Summary
Functions: how we make decisions about what we perceive. Attitudes: energizing sources in life: sensation: methodic, routine, concrete, sequential. Sensors pay attention to information received through sensory channels; focus on here and now and less on what might/could be; concentrate on facts and details: intuition: future oriented; downplay sensory information and opt for intuitive hunches. Preference for alternatives, change, and variety; may seem impractical. What could be; crave invention; see routine as limiting. Concentrate on relationship of the pieces rather than the pieces alone (sensors): thinking: logical, rational; carefully consider reasons; use logic to justify actions. Think of the consequences of actions in an unbiased and impersonal way. Decisions are based on truth and calculations as well as impartial judgement. Intellectual orientation; truth over tact; fair over compassionate: feeling: decisions are based on emotions and personal values; logic is used to support personal values. Less likely to be viewed as detached compared to thinkers.
