Using the MBTI to enhance communication (Sensing - Intuition)

We can think that our approach is best, but we can benefit from working with people that are different to us.  When you take the MBTI is helps you to understand how you prefer to gather information, this can be through using your senses or through using your intuition.  

With a preference for sensing you prefer to use your eyes, ears and other senses to tell you what is actually there and actually happening, both inside and outside of yourself. It is a great way to appreciate what is happening now, and so helps us to be realistic and practical. People who are strong at sensing are good at remember­ing and working with a great number of facts. 

With a preference for intuition, you prefer to look for meaning, relationships and possibilities that go beyond what you can pick up via your senses. It looks at the big picture and for patterns. People who are strong in intuition are good at seeing new possibilities and new ways of doing things. Intuitive types value imagination and inspirations. 

Understanding your MBTI type helps you to understand and appreciate differences.  

If you are Intuitive you need a Sensing type to bring up pertinent facts; apply experience to problems; read the fine print in a contract; notice what needs attention now; have patience; keep track of essential detail; face difficulties with realism and remind us that the joys of the present are important.

If you are a Sensing type you need an intuitive type 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 and show that the joys of the future are worth working for.
