Se and getting lost

[Sirena]

Is being bad with directions indicative of weak Se?? Like taking a while to learn how to get somewhere without getting lost. Or forgetting exactly how to get somewhere after not having been there in a while.

Discuss.

imo, that's outwith the realm of socionics. You should look for your an answer or tips to remember where your going elsewhere than socionics (don't get lost while looking though )

Eh, i'm sure i've read somewhere that men and women process bearing and location differently. I could elaborate but you are probably best to read up about that, or just read up about improving your sense of direction if you've got problems getting lost .. or.. speak to someone you know with a good sense of direction and ask them how they do it.

Thanks Cy. Yeah, I tend to think this is not related to socionics directly. However, I'm trying to figure out if some elements of it might be.

This question actually pertains to a guy I know, not myself. I am pretty bad at this also, admittedly, but he is even worse than me.

I should note that this "inability" of his is of no huge concern to him and rather amuses him. I think he sort of sees it as an opportunity to explore and it does in no way limit him or prevent him from going places, unless he knows he has to get to work from an unfamiliar location, for instance. Sometimes he'll just be like "get in the car" and he'll just start driving with no real idea how to get to "that bar I went to once that was really cool" but he'll just drive around the whole town if he has to, enjoying the process all the while. He doesn't seem bothered by people pointing out the fact that he sucks at it either.

i've read something on car navigation systems: men seem to prefer maps with North pointing up (map stays fixed on screen), whereas women prefer the direction they're heading in pointing up (the map rotates while driving). This also proves women see themselves as center of the world

Maybe. My sense of direction improves greatly by having a birds-eye mindview of where I'm headed, and can map the route in my own head first.
