<Li> The two perceiving functions, sensation and intuition </Li> <Li> The two judging functions, thinking and feeling </Li> <P> Sensation and intuition are the information - gathering (perceiving) functions . They describe how new information is understood and interpreted . Individuals who prefer the sensation function are more likely to trust information that is in the present, tangible and concrete: that is, information that can be understood by the five senses . They tend to distrust hunches, which seem to come "out of nowhere". They prefer to look for details and facts . For them, the meaning is in the data . On the other hand, those who prefer the intuition function tend to trust information that is more abstract or theoretical, that can be associated with other information (either remembered or discovered by seeking a wider context or pattern). They may be more interested in future possibilities . They tend to trust those flashes of insight that seem to bubble up from the unconscious mind . The meaning is in how the data relates to the pattern or theory . </P> <P> Thinking and feeling are the decision - making (judging) functions . The thinking and feeling functions are both used to make rational decisions, based on the data received from their information - gathering functions (sensing or intuition). Those who prefer the thinking function tend to decide things from a more detached standpoint, measuring the decision by what seems reasonable, logical, causal, consistent and matching a given set of rules . Those who prefer the feeling function tend to come to decisions by associating or empathizing with the situation, looking at it "from the inside" and weighing the situation to achieve, on balance, the greatest harmony, consensus and fit, considering the needs of the people involved . </P>
