Sensing/Intuition dichotomy and Imagination

[Hugo]

Does the following question decisively determine whether a person is S or N:

Do you have a strong imagination?

If this question is inadequate, please suggest a better question.

Well I like to day dream and use imagination alot I guess. I don't know how strong it is, I guess it ok .

[Hugo]

How about this:

Are you a theoretical thinker or are you a practical thinker?

or may be:

Do you have a practical approach or a theoretical approach to problem solving?

[Elizabeth]

Ah...the second set of questions is much better. When asking about imagination, it's kind of hard because I have no idea what's "normal" so I have nothing to compare myself to.

I think (Do you have a practical approach or a theoretical approach to problem solving?) sounds best.

[Hugo]

I think

Do you have a practical approach or a theoretical approach to problem solving?

sounds best.

Is there anyone that disagrees with this, or do you agree.

If you agree or disagree please say so.

Thanks.

I have a more theoretical approach, so I guess this works for me.

The problem is that there's many people that have both... NT's especially I'd think, because practical can go along with T as well as S.

I second that.

I'm INTj and not practical.

I can interpret your work as trying to take a practical approach in problem solving. "the model-A is too complicated" i'm sure you can argue this, but to me its all how you look at it.
