Intuition
is one of the 4 jungian dichotomies, and one of the 15
Reinin dichotomies
.
Sensing
in socionics is a perceptual quality defined by a focus on the tangible, directly sensible, and visible content of reality. In contrast,
intuition
means a focus on intangible, indirectly perceivable, and hidden content of reality.

Theoretical properties
In socionics, two
IM elements
are sensing (
and
), and two are intuitive (
and
).
IM types
which contain sensing elements either on
functions
1 and 7, or
functions
2 and 8, are called
sensing types
. Those which contain intuitive elements one of those
function
pairs are called
intuitive types
.
Description of the functions
Sensing
Sensing
is a mental process (or 'psychic function') that involves focusing on concrete, tangible details that can be directly experienced. Sensing comes in two varieties (
extraverted
and
introverted
) depending on whether attention is focused on reality outside the subject or on the subject's impressions of reality.
Half of the
socion
consists of
sensing
types. These types have either
introverted
or
extraverted
sensing in their
Ego block
(the first two
functions
).
Intuition
Intuition
is a mental process (or 'psychic function') that involves distancing perception from concrete, tangible details. Intuition comes in two varieties (
extraverted
and
introverted
) depending on whether attention is focused on reality outside the subject or on the subject's impressions of reality.
Half of the
socion
consists of
intuitive
types. These types have either
introverted
(
) or
extraverted
(
) intuition in their
Ego block
(the first two
functions
).
Typical characteristics of the types
Sensing types
More realistic and down-to-earth.
Rather notice details than the big picture.
More focused on their surroundings, living in the here and now.
More naturally comfortable with physical confrontations.
Often more interested in practice than in theory.
Intuitive types
More idealistic and head-in-clouds.
Rather see the big picture than the details.
More focused on ideas than on surroundings.
Less naturally comfortable with physical confrontations.
Often more interested in theory than in practice.
