I'd guess N types would have a more difficult time than S types since driving is something that relies on attention to your surroundings combined with motor skill movements in controlling the movement of the car. Also N types are more likely to be daydreaming and stuff and not paying immediate attention to what's on the road. That could have detrimental consequences.
I remember learning how to drive. It took me longer to master driving than most of my peers although I did pass (barely) the driving portion of the test on the first try. However to this day, I still suck at parallel parking and avoid it when I can.

Don't know if it's type related, but my EII sister took that test like 4 or 5 times before she passed. I can't believe how much trouble she had.
I could see how an EII would struggle with a driving test, havingPoLR. I also have
PoLR and I think the only reason why I passed it on my first try was because I practiced so much before taking the test. Most of my peers didn't practice as much beforehand as I did. Some still passed with flying colors but others failed not because they lack natural skill in driving but because they got cocky and overconfident.

could be more connected to rationality than type per se. irrationals overall i think cope better with the unexpected in driving situations. statics might take more risks than dynamics, since they might see objects more singularly or more stationary.
i had an easy time learning to drive and passed my driving test on the first try. never had any trouble with parallel parking even in NYC, where i grew up. at the age of 20 taught myself to drive a standard shift. a lot of my female friends had trouble passing the test on the first try. one that stands out is an EIE.

those who are easily shocked.....should be shocked more often
I'm driving alone since I was 10-11, so it isn't a problem for me. I remember the car being bigger than me, and me not seeing anything, but still be able to drive it gooood![]()
I think I agree with this! Either that or it's not type related. My ESE husband failed his first driving test (and he's never failed any other sort of test in his entire life. you don't even wanna know how good his LSAT and GRE scores were) but I passed mine, easily. Plus I learned a stick shift easily and I had to teach my husband when we were dating and it took him a couple of years to get the hang of it. That said, the best driver I know is SLE.

It was a nightmare with my father and I; he is ISTp and I am INFj. I failed the driving test twice in months after one another because both times I nearly hit a car and couldn't figure out which car was coming from what direction and how to react to the situations simultaneously. My father took me practicing much more then my brother who is about two years younger then me and was learning at the same time that I was. He learned so fast (SLI type); my dad's last shot with me was taking me to the busiest street in LA and having me have a last shot at it; it was absolute nightmare; I drove so slowly and got so many honks. I passed at the third try because my tester was hung over and seemed out of it. But, I practiced a lot after and had so many screeches on the freeway that I had to commit to learn to be very conscious when driving.
I use geometry when parrellel parking; I measure in my mind the space between the parallel car and I and at what angle I will have to turn the wheels to make a perfect park and I am good at doing that.
I am a perfectly slow and cautious driver now and, knock on wood, have never hit anyone yet. Mostly, because I highly value human life and hitting someone and causing hurt would sit on my conscious very heavily.
Read my message above. Can you believe it now?

I'm constantly looking to align the real with the ideal.I've been more oriented toward being overly idealistic by expecting the real to match the ideal. My thinking side is dominent. The result is that sometimes I can be overly impersonal or self-centered in my approach, not being understanding of others in the process and simply thinking "you should do this" or "everyone should follor this rule"..."regardless of how they feel or where they're coming from"which just isn't a good attitude to have. It is a way, though, to give oneself an artificial sense of self-justification. LSE
