Message: <blockquote data-quote="N0Man" data-source="post: 5103799" data-attributes="member: 64066">Introspection vs Extrospection is not the same thing at all as the whole "Type A / Type B" stuff...It is also referred to as "intuitive vs sensing", and kind of cooresponds somewhat to a general preference for analytical, abstract, and theoretical thinking vs practical, literal, and traditional thinking.Type A/Type B breaks people up into 2 very generalized types.   The Myers-Brigg (influenced by Jung) categorizes people based on general preferences between 4 pairs of characteristics, which make up 16 archetypes.N/S (introspection vs Introspection) is just 1 dimension of analysis.  By themselves, they don't really define a level of mental ability, but more what *style* of what form the high mental ability is likely to take when it is present.That's just the way I like to look at it, and as a general model it actually works reasonably well (at least as any other), and matches the idea of the attributes for the most part, that is Wisdom being associated with Perception(senses), knowledge of the environment around them (Nature), applied hands-on knowledge (Healing) and picking up on subtle social cues (Insight) while while Intelligence is associated with ideas and abstract thinking (Arcana), academic knowledge (History).Personally, I'd probably swap the abilities associated with Dungeoneering and Religion to follow this theme, but I can live with it as is.</blockquote>
