Bringing intuition into an intellectual discipline dominated by sensors is like bringing the third dimension into a 2D world. You can essentially ignore all obstacles because they don’t block your mode of thought. That intuitive leaping allows us to make startlingly accurate conjectures with very little data.

Of course, while I can probably pass a business theory course in my sleep (having just seen what their tests are like), I still can’t effectively market. Theory is one thing, practice another (and actually understanding people is a whole different beast from any sort of theory). So it’s not as if there’s any material advantage. It just means I don’t need to bother going for a formal MBA because nothing will stop me from learning from the books.

Pairing the appropriate intuitive and sensing types in appropriate roles is still the best option, of course. If you miss details in business, they will eventually be your undoing.
