OK, it's on.
What would happen in a house full of sensors?

Once I recognized that I had enough friends and was not going to move somewhere new unless I absolutely had no choice, I realized I didn't really need to make new people I meet like me anymore. Since I usually fail miserably at that anyway, it's been liberating. I've almost shifted to an ISTP-like approach to people now. If I am at parties or social events I just feel no need to go out and talk to people. I am usually fairly happy just hanging out in a corner and waiting for people I know to show up. Unhealthy? Some would say yes.
I really don't have a huge need to interact with people unless we can talk about interesting things. I do try to be very kind and considerate and politely inquisitive to my roommates, though, mostly 'cause they're great people and all Ns or ISxP. I think figuring out how to end up as a roommate in a house full of artists and creatives is generally a good approach for an INTP. It's cheaper and they usually are pretty chill. You prob won't end up there unless there are a fair number of intuitives who appreciate you, though. With the social circles I'm in, I meet quite a number of hip "DIY scene" S types in the city who just brush me off immediately as too boring, too much of a dork, not worth their time. The feeling is mutual, I assure you!

Q: "What would happen in a house full of sensors?"
A: This:
And then everyone skydives out without a parachute but rather with a rocket strapped to their backs.
But in all seriousness, I think they`d have a lot of fun, since it`s common knowledge that S types get along rather well with other S types. It might not be as fun for someone like me to be there but I`m out of the picture.

"Wtf even was that"
The general way it has worked out for me is that I involve myself initially to be polite, and then we just drift apart and do our own thing. I've lived with groups of people, and they did tend to form a friendship group -- I felt included in if I wanted to be -- but I would eventually become aloof by habit.
If I'm interacting with people outside the house, I don't want to interact with people when I'm home. Even if very subtle, being around people forms a kind of tension for me that means I can't fully relax until I'm alone.
Maybe this is a developmental issue and will change one day. For now I'm fine with people, sensor or intuitive (who cares?), as long I can hold them at a distance and retreat when I need to. I would prefer to live alone by choice unless the other person was very close.

ENTP lurker
Usually useless
There was a show about that called Big Brother. Lots of extraverted sensing there.

House of introverted Sensing. That would not be viewer magnet. 
I would like to live in one.

I grew up in a family of SJs. Both my parents are ESFJ. All my life I've been xNTP so it was hell. When I was younger, I was ENTP and still somewhat acceptable to them. They thought I was bright. As I became more introverted, they started thinking I was crazy. My mum literally said in my face that I'm crazy when she caught me spacing out. I was aware she (and my brother) was staring at me, but I didn't want to lose my train of thoughts so I ignored it.
When you try to explain something to them, they can never ever fully comprehend it. At times, they'll act like they understand, or perhaps they think they do understand. But they obviously do not.
I don't know if this is typical of Sensors or not, but my whole family loves nature. Since young, I've been the only one not liking nature. Oh yeah, all of them for more physical activities than me. I'm a sloth.
They do not care if they do things without a reason. They don't think about the future, though they do save $$ for rainy days. They won't think what they'll be doing in the future. My brother says he doesn't even know why he's studying, but he knows he needs the certificate and so he'll study, even if he's unsure what the hell he's gonna use the subjects for. Also, he never chooses the subjects he prefers, but what he scores well in.
Really don't want to sound condescending, but they think too simply. While I'm no genius myself, they can't understand something that is really quite simple...
I don't think this is a sensor's trait, but maybe it is? They're really really anti-fat people, especially my father and brother. Somehow, I usually have best friends who are overweight, and they never fail to insult them (behind their backs, of course, they're cowards).
They can't stand mess. They can't stand not bathing for a day. I could go two days without bathing (more days, in fact, but they'll be suspicious), and they can't tolerate even a day without bathing.
They don't like having meaningful conversations. They love small talks. My father always try to make small talks with me, and that annoys me to no end because I absolutely detest him (he was an extremely abusive father in the past). He talks about the most mundane and useless stuffs.
This is just my experiences with sensors, in particular, SJs. One interesting thing to note is that they're really double-faced. Be it my friends or my family members, they can bitch hard about someone yet smile so brightly in that person's face.
