Translation: I don't respect your intuitive abilities and don't let them go to your head. Just because you have this talent, you shouldn't really use it because its not something I value. (despite it being my strongest tool I have at my disposal to get through life considering my memory for details).
slow down. that's not really what i meant. it seemed as if you were just discounting facts as this irrelevant spectre of discussion, and from an entp pov i'm sure the istj's general disposition of being factual is even more transparent which is maybe why you came across so overbearing in that paragraph, but my reply was not intended to be offensive. no one is discounting your ability to retain and recite facts, and i agree with you more or less. istj's are often fair game in conceptual discussion. most ST's are somewhat.
