This isnt an attempt to rate some kind of scale in order of importance. In the conception of human reality in the context of socionics, the order of importance does not exist.

However, the order of process does. Sensing is first, which is why spiritual traditions support its exploration because it helps break down normal stream of consciousness, monkey mind. By breaking down monkey mind is a way to experience possible ego death, but that is besides the point.

Sensing is foundational. Take that as you will.
