Severe struggle with unusual tasks/skills. Heavily intuitive people who do most of their communication online are often literally afraid of phones, to the point where they’ll procrastinate on making calls for hours. Same with networking, going to office hours, etc. Some practice making phone calls tends to mitigate this problem pretty quickly, but it means intuitive thinkers often have a very steep learning curve when it comes to new skills. Conversely logic-dominated thinkers seem to have an easier time working outside their comfort zone.
This is a feature of people with an intuitive thinking style? Really? The description applies to me near-perfectly (I am, perhaps, “afraid of phones” more figuratively than literally), and I’d certainly describe myself as an almost totally logic-based thinker.
Something is wrong here. Either this is not, in fact, a feature of intuitive people, or the intuitive/logic-based framework is flawed.
Good to know. Generally speaking, I would expect degrees of autism to have more predictive power than intuitive vs. logical, especially in that case. Controlling for autism though, I would say that on average, logical thinkers I’ve met tend to be more willing to recognize that the actions that lead to their goals are outside their comfort zone (and take those actions), while intuitive thinkers I’ve seen tend to be less inclined to do things that don’t feel good (emotionally.) It ties in with the ignoring emotions point in the original post-intuitive thinkers are better at using their emotions productively, but tend to be ruled by their emotions even when it’s not useful (and this is definitely a problem for me.)

Interesting. Thanks for the data point.
As a general pattern, do you feel like you have a harder time going outside your comfort zone than most people?
Yep. (Very relevant note: I am on the autism spectrum.)
