How to get along with someone who has a different way of dealing with things

He doesn't pay attention to small details, like searching for his glasses that are on his head saying "Where are they?" or trying to get into another car in a parking lot.ＮThe (intuitive) type can be a source of laughter, but in everyday life, you can't always be laughing about it.

One sees the forest, the other sees the trees.Ｎtype andＳDifferences in (reality) types are causing communication breakdowns.

Most relationships begin with gathering information,Ｓtype andＮThe difference in type is significant.Ｓtype andＮLet me give you an example that is commonly seen in this type of conversation.

ＳWhat time is it now?

ＮWe'll be late.

Ｓ(Slightly surprised) What time is it now?

Ｎ(Persistently) Let's go now.

Ｓ(Irritated) Hey, aren't you listening? I'm asking you, "What time is it?"

Ｎ(Equally annoyed) It's 3:30.

Ｓ(Angry) What the hell. I had to ask three times to get a simple answer.

Ｎ(Confused because he thought he had answered properly the first time) Don't make such a big fuss about it.

ThisＳtype andＮThis is a typical example of a communication mismatch.

Sticking to the facts ＳThe pattern asks specific questions in search of specific answers. In contrast,ＮThere are various ways to answer, but none of them areＳThis is not the answer the model is looking for.

ＳI believe that patterns are related to everything and have some kind of meaning.

ＮUnless a type is looking for something specific, it won't even notice the presence of something that passes right by it.

thereＳI think the type is difficult to understand. ＳFor that type of person, if that something actually exists, there's no way they wouldn't notice it.

problem solving

• ＳType:
  • Disagreements are not solely about facts. Sometimes, it's important to consider mitigating circumstances, even if it seems like a waste of energy or risks obscuring the issue.
    If everything you say is met with opposition, there might be other issues to consider besides the current situation.
    
• ＮType:
  • Focus on the problem. When conflicts of opinion arise,ＮTypes tend to associate with the overall situation.
    That's not necessarily appropriate and won't help in solving the problem. It only obscures the details and complicates the solution.
    Sometimes it's better to settle simple disputes first before tackling bigger problems.
