How to Think Like an Extraverted Sensor... Literally
190This chain quest looks into the neurology that comes about related to the cognitive functions. This video 7/8 is on Extraverted Sensing dominants, ESTP and ESFP.
Extroverted Sensing is what’s called a perceiving function. Perceiving functions help us learn and gather information. Everybody prefers and trusts one kind of information over others. This is either abstract ideas and connections, or the details our senses pick up from the tangible realm of things. Extroverted Sensing looks at what’s happening now or in the very near future. And, as you can assume, extroverted Sensing prefers to take in information that you can check and verify with your senses.
If you pay special attention to the actual colors, materials, and smells of the world in rich detail, then Extroverted Sensing is probably high on your stack. But if think that a tissue box kind of looks like a car with no wheels, you might be more of an iNtuitive type. Extroverted Sensing picks up and plays with all those real details in the world around you and within your body.
Your dominant function does what it does compulsively. It’s like an addiction. You naturally want to do more and more things that use your dominant function. This means that Extroverted Sensing types often like to embrace whatever immediate occurrences they can - especially if they have a high sensory impact. This pushes many SP types to follow their impulses or go with the thrill of new experiences. They’re naturally pulled to whatever triggers more of their senses.
By fully embracing the current situation, extroverted Sensors are able to notice relevant facts and details that most people skip over. Fulling diving into the moment, there’s a sort of oneness that comes as the world and the self are merged.
In RPG terms, I call Sensing types Warriors, so extroverted Sensing types are like impactful, offensive, berserker style warriors. They’re great at using their physical body and tools like weapons as extensions of their body. They’re also quick to pick up on incoming physical threats while keeping the freedom to move around. They don’t brace for impact, but rather relax and open up to the heat of the battle. Berserkers skillfully jump into a situation and adapt to whatever arises. They’re able to do this because they immerse themselves in the real happenings around them. They’re instinctive and ready to tackle new challenges.
