I can't decide if I like this article or not. It (almost) makes Intuitives look like caricatures who are always thinking about "weird stuff" and generally "being weird." Believe me, I have met Intuitives like that, but I personally anyway don't have too much of a problem misunderstanding Sensors (for example) because I am "reading things in" to what they say. I do find myself asking Sensors quite a bit why they are telling me a certain thing, but it's usually because they seem to get caught up in a lot of factual details and leave me to try to figure out their point. Either that or they aren't saying what they actually mean.
Neither do I find that Sensors necesarily need to hear all the "steps" in between A and Z. Most Sensors I know are pretty sharp and can make "intuitive leaps" right with me.
The thing that drives me absolutely insane about my interactions with Sensors is when they say to me, "Remember I told you [such-and-such]?," and then I have to go into a lengthy response explaining that yes, I do remember whatever it was that was said (albeit vaguely, usually), but that the point I was trying to make was actually [whatever]....It's exhausting, and I feel stupid trying to explain myself, and all the while a little part of my brain is thinking maybe I really don't understand what is going on and they truly do have the better understanding of the situation because they remember exactly what was said and I do not.
Oh, and yes I most certainly did notice what other kids had in their lunch boxes.
