Great insight there. As soon as i saw the thumbnail, i was saying to myself "yep! totally". I've scored multiple times the same results on different free tests online. Averaging at about 90% introvert, 92% intuition, 51% thinking, 96% perceiving. I just remember thinking and feeling always very very close to even, while my introversion, and especially intuition and perceiving were through the roof. It's very true for me, that I do not seek to experience my thoughts and ideas in the material world, they can be fine and wonderful just as ideas and thoughts. I am a fantasist too and in the past with major depressive episodes had to deal with mild psychosis, close to suicidal, but because i am used to the mystic way of perceiving, i was able to survive that just about. i painted my way out ;) But I do love and maybe MUST think about my experiences, and i cannot plan anything AT ALL. I detest a plan, or a list , or guide. I hate it so much i cannot get things done in life, like work to fill in forms for this or that. It destroys my soul! and i suffer a great deal trying just to survive like normal people do so easily. Honestly I'm not kidding. i am confident that mentally retarded people can get more done in life than me, and they do. It's a curse, but then the blessing is in my experiences! To the extent that this all sounds so terrible, I also live a perception so damn rich i cannot explain or emphasis it enough. There is a whole world that opens up to me while just idle watching an insect living out it's experience. I see it's experience, I live it in my minds eye as well. And as well again I work through archetypes with these experiences. The spiders warn me of danger with women. I'm unsure where the association came about, but I've had spider dreams that really scared me awake, and it was always with a really destructive woman was in my life. Otherwise i don't ever remember dreams. It's literally only when a big message comes through. i can only recall 3 important dreams. 2 were spiders with the same woman, the third was far deeper and future based and rich with meaning, archetypes, symbolism, messages I can nearly fully understand. so much packed into one dream, i can visualize and see it now, no problem. it's burned in my memory ^^ All to say, you are spot on Erik. And to example the extreme end of the intuition version in your example. I am the mystic that nobody sees. i see EVERYTHING it's almost painful to experience people. I see their perversions, their thoughts, what they are feeling that they don't even know they feel. Animals are better company. they are true. They shoot straight and i can also hear them and know what they are thinking and feeling. They feel so much more than us , really. It's horrible what humans do to them. Truly truly horrible. I dislike being around most people with regards to this. They always let me down. They seem like they care and then you see they really cannot see what I see. They only see a shadow and they live in fear of it. stamping it, killing it, eating it. Sometimes i just wish I could be a sensor for a while, so i can be able to get clothes or food, a driving license etc. But never would i sacrifice my vision for that. i FEEL i couldn't even do that for 5 seconds.
If we define intuition as pattern recognition, it's surely as much about sensing as thinking or feeling. (I glanced in your refrigerator for a few seconds and noticed that you're vegetarian.)
That’s a really great example! Sometimes though intuition just can’t be explained. As Erik mentioned, intuitive thoughts are based on personal experiences that shape how you think currently. Someone might ask me why I think how I do and even if I try and explain it, they won’t get it cuz they never lived my experience.
This is your Ne running wild again Erik, even though you disavow it You're not refining an intuition down you're saying "this is like that" and playing category games
Cool way of explaining intuition vs sensing 🤔
Intuitive people seek a higher truth beyond the material world , not always creativity ...

Ps, the moment i saw you Erik, just your face, I said to myself INFP. i'm rarely wrong, maybe never.
Intuition is powerful!

I'm Enfp first commentary though
