Ne + Fast Reflexes

[Creepy-]

I don't think it's type-related.

I have very fast reflexes when I pay attention. Based on reflex test I did, I'm usually also the one who starts walking first from traffic lights. I suck though at things like catching balls etc.

What about if you were doing something like reading on the computer, and someone knocked a pencil off of the desk next to you - would you be likely to reach out your hand automatically and catch the pencil, or would you be likely not to notice until it hit the ground?

You changed your name

Yup

Not then, I don't remember catching things like that. I remember more searching for dropped items from the floor

This Ne=fast reflexes thing is something I've noticed myself as well, actually. 3/4 of the time I am able to catch dropped items. I've never been good at aggressive sports like hockey (despite being a Canuck ), however I do tend to be a pretty good goalie. I'm not sure if it's correlated to Ne (seeing the possible paths of a moving object?) or what.

I am awesome at this, if I do say so myself. It always makes me feel like that scene in the first Spider-man movie where Mary-Jane trips and Peter Parker catches her, her tray, and all of her food.

This absolutely is not related to Ne. If anything, it's above-average norepinephrine levels.

yes...fast reflexes are more connected to Se/Si i would say.

but excellent driving...i'll still take credit for that. i should have been a racecar driver.

I guess the question is, are brain chemical levels related to type? As far as I know, there hasn't been any research on this subject.

Are there any Ne types here who *don't* have good reflexes (as in the catching a pencil knocked off the desk example)? I'm interested in how strong this correlation is.

Ne subtype + (quasi)retarded body movements.
Correlation warranted. Especially for alpha NTs IME.

(Quasi)retarded body movements as in you're good at catching falling pencils, or (quasi)retarded as in you're bad at catching falling pencils?

People use retarded in so many different ways these days...

This.

or (quasi)retarded as in you're bad at catching falling pencils?

Not this.

Yeah..isn't that retarded?
