You have ignored what other members have said about your sensor bias
Apparently you didn't notice above that one of my best friends is an XSFP? The other one being an INTP. In the general friend category it's around 98% Sensor, with one ENTP (just got that one) and a very small handful of other intuitives. One would wonder why somebody with such hatred against Sensors would have so many as friends and close colleagues?
What you're picking up on is a dislike for specific Sensor behaviors, which in aggregate combine and strengthen to a stifling degree simply because S types are in the majority. For example, groupism. Sensors like groups, they naturally form them. Churches (always trying to get new members), political (same), family (big families tend to be S type), friend groups (you can't just have a guy friend, you have to be friends with their wife too), etc. By my nature I dislike groups and group activities, in fact I constitutionally
can't join groups, but I'm constantly having to fend off people who are trying to rope me in on one.
What makes this especially difficult is that the S preference is naturally extroverted, as N is naturally introverted. This is why the INTP is probably the most introverted of the types. S naturally goes out however (even with Si dominants) because it focuses on the
objective. What this means is that S types by their nature aren't content to leave well enough alone. A simple illustration is the difference between an intuitive parent who wants their child to grow up to be themselves (an NT or NF parent), versus a SJ or SP parent who usually want their child to grow up to be
normal. That is, like them. Conformity - again the group focus.
So in general in the world we see how S types
prosecute the lifestyle of Intuitives, more so than in reverse. PUM - Please Understand Me was written by an INTP and is probably more of a reflection of the Intuitives telling the Sensors to
Please Let me Be! Now, do you see it in reverse? Yes we do, but mostly in the realm of ideas. I believe Intuitives are at the forefront of the 'new Atheism', for example, which strong religious sensors find horrific and terrifying. But again what is their answer? If they don't like what they're hearing, it's your problem to stop talking about those dangerous ideas.
The Sensor-Intuitive preference 'battle' goes on in many realms, I could talk for hours about it in the educational and political systems. But suffice to say that yes, I do extremely dislike how much energy I have to put into fending S preference types off, for example in their need for me to conform. I understand it, I know how important it is to them, and personally I just wish they could understand that I'm not being different by choice, but by nature.
As another discussion I could talk about the societal benefits of the S preference which I fully support, such as the roots of the last Iraqi war*, but this post is getting long in the tooth.
discredit things if you want, but you should know what that sort of thing does to your credibility...
That's a beautifully illogical statement I'm adding to my collection.
Of course there is also the possibility that you have your own type wrong. But let me guess ... "no".?
Get real.
Don't expect further posts from me on this topic, I've spent far too much unproductive time on it already.
* Personally motivated by the S preference in Bush and his cabinet. Gore - an NT - would not have been my choice at that particular time as he would probably would not have taken decisive action, though he would have executed the conflict better.
