Words to Describe Personality on the Awareness Level

Sensing and Intuition describe how you most instinctively BECOME AWARE of what is going on around you.

How do you SEE THE WORLD literally?

Why do you pay attention to some things more intently than others?

Why do you remember some things better/worse than others?

Sensors are naturally focused on the present moment,details, on concrete information in the here and the now, information gained powerfully from their five (5) senses; seeing, hearing, tasting, touching, smelling.

Intuits are naturally focused on the future, what is over the horizon, with a view to concepts, patterns and possibilities.

Sensors more instinctively notice the facts, details,
and realities of the world around them in the here and the now. Consider the following list of personality traits NATURALLY associated with sensing:

perceiving with the five senses
clear straightforward speech pattern
attends to practical and factual details
focused on actual experiences
very in touch with physical realities
more literal using facts and real examples
present oriented in the moment folk
sensible down to earth
see little things in everyday life
attend to step-by-step experience
the eyes will tell the mind what is going on
