The Intuitive type is a highly imaginative type, that prefers to detect patterns and is always looking for something beyond the literal, beyond the senses, always looking between the lines for something, a search for meaning or for a possibility beyond the realm of reality. The intuitive type also has an “a kind of instinctive apprehension”, sometimes just “knowing” things without being to describe the reasons with precision. People of this type has a tendency to be more driven towards the ideas, concepts, abstractions, meanings, associations and connections. This type is constantly “connecting the dots”, and, because of this, they are open to new ideas, preferring to always experience and get to know new things, seeking for variety and being bored by excessive constancy, and therefore people from this type are usually curious and creative. People from this type also has a tendency to appreciate the beauty on things and nature, to appreciate art (most commonly listening to a lot of music, but also art through abstract painting, poetry, etc..).
“There is no Extraversion or Introversion here?” Yes, there is no E/I for this type. E/I on this type is undifferentiated, reactive and adaptive: Whatever the attitude of E/I is dictated by environment & conditions, society demands and there is a tendency also for this type to alternate between one approach or the other. This type is a “stage 1” in differentiation terms, and that means that this type has generally a weak sense of self, due to being adaptive on the E/I attitude and lacking an auxiliary function (this type does not have a particular preference for thinking or feeling). However, it is common for people from this type to have a preference for MBTI Perceiving.
IPIP NEO (BIG 5) DESCRIPTIONS (approximating Intuiton as Openness to Experience)
CLEAR-THINKING TYPE (High S, High O) (‘healthy’)
Clear-thinking types are well-adjusted, intelligent individuals. They approach problems in a nonplused, matter-of-fact way, and feel confident about their ability to solve problems. They are described by others with such terms as intelligent, poised, forward-looking, innovative, ingenious, persevering, and enterprising.
SENSITIVE TYPE (Low S, High O) (‘unhealthy’)
Sensitive types are very bright but emotionally sensitive. They pay attention to, and are strongly affected by, things that happen in the world around them. They open themselves to their environment; consequently they enjoy many positive sensory experiences, but on the other hand they are vulnerable to having their feelings hurt. They are described by others as complex and imaginative.
JUNG DESCRIPTION OF INTUITION (there is no Jung description for the intuitive type):
“35. INTUITION (L. intueri, ‘to look at or into’). I regard intuition as a basic psychological function (q.v.). It is the function that mediates perceptions in an unconscious way. Everything, whether outer or inner objects or their relationships, can be the focus of this perception. The peculiarity of intuition is that it is neither sense perception, nor feeling, nor intellectual inference, although it may also appear in these forms. In intuition a content presents itself whole and complete, without our being able to explain or discover how this content came into existence. Intuition is a kind of instinctive apprehension, no matter of what contents. Like sensation (q.v.), it is an irrational (q.v.) function of perception. As with sensation, its contents have the character of being “given,” in contrast to the “derived” or “produced” character of thinking and feeling (qq.v.) contents. Intuitive knowledge possesses an intrinsic certainty and conviction, which enabled Spinoza (and Bergson) to uphold the scientia intuitiva as the highest form of knowledge. Intuition shares this quality with sensation (q.v.), whose certainty rests on its physical foundation. The certainty of intuition rests equally on a definite state of psychic “alertness” of whose origin the subject is unconscious.
Intuition may be subjective or objective: the first is a perception of unconscious psychic data originating in the subject, the second is a perception of data dependent on subliminal perceptions of the object and on the feelings and thoughts they evoke. We may also distinguish concrete and abstract forms of intuition, according to the degree of participation on the part of sensation. Concrete intuition mediates perceptions concerned with the actuality of things, abstract intuition mediates perceptions of ideational connections. Concrete intuition is a reactive process, since it responds directly to the given facts; abstract intuition, like abstract sensation, needs a certain element of direction, an act of the will, or an aim.
Like sensation, intuition is a characteristic of infantile and primitive psychology. It counterbalances the powerful sense impressions of the child and the primitive by mediating perceptions of mythological images, the precursors of ideas (q.v.). It stands in a compensatory relationship to sensation and, like it, is the matrix out of which thinking and feeling develop as rational functions. Although intuition is an irrational function, many intuitions can afterwards be broken down into their component elements and their origin thus brought into harmony with the laws of reason.
Everyone whose general attitude (q.v.) is oriented by intuition belongs to the intuitive type (q.v.). Introverted and extraverted intuitives may be distinguished according to whether intuition is directed inwards, to the inner vision, or outwards, to action and achievement. In abnormal cases intuition is in large measure fused together with the contents of the collective unconscious (q.v.) and determined by them, and this may make the intuitive type appear extremely irrational and beyond comprehension.”
