The first dimension indicates your orientation toward the world and your source of energy. Your preference is either to be Extroverted or to be Introverted . Knowing your type will help you to understand things such as why you need to be alone to recharge after a long day, while your best friend chooses to go to a party after a stressful day at work and finds this experience energizing. The second dimension of the MBTI has to do with how we take in information. In this dimension there are Sensors and Intuitives .
Sensors take in data through the five senses.
They focus on facts and tend to be practical and realistic. Intuitives jump to the meaning behind facts. They look for patterns and themes when they take in information. While Sensors see each tree in the forest, Intuitives tend to see the forest not the trees. If you think you do both, see the trees and the forest, you are correct.
