    Default Words - More sensing?

    I was just thinking about how I think in images and talk often in analogies, as words often are not what I'd deem to be "inclusive" enough. How can you talk in shades of an expression?? (Or talk efficiently about an approximation within a set of parameters).

    Which made me wonder... are words really more sensing?? Are they more useful to sensing types??

    However, obviously permutations of words in sentences can invoke images and analogies.. And words are seen as the most "efficient" way to deliver information in our academic system...

    But are they the best way to communicate to intuitive types?? Are they the best way to stimulate their minds?? .... Are words the most rudimentary form of communication... like binary is to computing??

    If you still haven't clicked to what I'm getting at... think.. One word = one colour. One observation = many colours and many shades.

    The brain is much faster than at a one word pace. It’s the fastest supercomputer on the planet.

    Imagine if we could interpret colours faster than words (Which is not implausible) then instead of an alphabet we could have a colour range... but just how do you communicate colours to others, unless you have a more evolved communication channel?? Sort of like we currently have with using analogies....

    Yes, I do think words are more sensing and for sensing types, no question about it. If they could just open up the palette..the mind, words can so be nothing!

    Remember the lines of communication, eg non verbals? speaks absolute volumes for me..

    Wasn't it Albert Mehrabian who said the total impact of a message is 7% verbal-words only, 38% vocal (tone, inflection etc), 55% non verbal.

    Just as I type this I am wondering if this is why I have so much difficulty? utilising internet, written word, for a hefty iNtuitive, INFP that I am, accessing cyberspace is like grasping body parts under icey water with 4 fingers missing and trying to make a call on them.

    Cyberspace is the best line of communication for which type?

    We are the biological animal, a very bright and clever one, but an animal all the same, can you imagine the United Nations translations and misunderstandings! Different countries, cultures... The written word is so damn powerful but it is the human's least efficient form of communication. (No, that's not true, but I'm leaving it in anyway, on rethink.)

    It aint easy.

    I love the internet, cyberspace, it is a technological library, discovery and research centre for me... I just meant communicating with people can be.....challenging.

    ...and, just an article I found interesting; "Body language without the body:
    situating social cues in the virtual world".. (transcript) Judith S. Donath

    Body language without the body
    The true harvest of my life is intangible - a little star dust caught, a portion of the rainbow I have clutched

    Default F = People T = Processes

    That’s the thing, while the F has the inclination and desire to detect all that hidden body language so does the T (in many circumstances) but more to detect the nuances with respect to the physical world around him/her.

    Body language and physical world observation both have a very key similarity to the F and the T, that is we look for inconsistencies or what I'd called exception analysis.

    I would expect that F's at a subconscious level can detect inconsistencies
    against their database () of prior observations made from the many hundreds of people they have met.
