75% of population. Like tradition, reality, facts and are practical.
Past and present oriented. Dislike new problems unless there are
standard ways to solve them. Like an established way of doing things.
Enjoy using skills already learned more than learning new ones. Work
more steadily, with a realistic idea of how long it will take. Usually
reach a conclusion step by step. Are patient with routine details. Are
impatient when the details get complicated. Are not often inspired, and
rarely trust the inspiration when they are. Seldom make errors of fact.
Tend to be good at precise work.
Need iNtuitive types to: bring up new possibilities, supply
ingenuity on problems, read the signs of coming change, see how to
prepare for the future, have enthusiasm, watch for new essentials,
tackle difficulties with zest, show that the joys of the future are
worth looking for.
You probably:
Prefer specific answers to specific questions; when you ask someone
the time, you prefer "three fifty-two" and get irritated if
the answer is "a little before four" or "almost time to
go."
Like to concentrate on what you're doing at the moment and
generally don't wonder about what's next; moreover, you would rather
do something than think about it.
Find most satisfying those jobs that yield some tangible result;
as much as you may hate doing housekeeping, you would rather clean
your office than think about where your career is headed.
Believe that "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" you don't
understand why some people have to try to improve everything.
Would rather work with facts and figures than ideas and theories;
you like to hear things sequentially instead of randomly.
Think that fantasy is a dirty word; you wonder about people
who seem to spend too much time indulging their imagination.
Read magazines from front to back; you don't understand why some
people prefer to dive into them anywhere they please.
Get frustrated when people don't give you clear instructions, or
when someone says "Here's the overall plan -- we'll take care of
the details later" or worse, when you've heard clear instructions
and others treat them as vague guidelines.
Are very literal in your use of words; you also take things
literally and often find yourself asking, and being asked, "Are
you serious or is that a joke?"
Find it easier to see the individual trees than the forest; at
work, you are happy to focus in on your own job, and aren't as
concerned about how it fits into the larger scheme of things.
Subscribe to the notion that "seeing is believing" if
someone tells you "the train is here," you know it really
isn't "here" until you can get on board.
