Predicting Relationship Success

I came across Myers - Briggs (MBTI) model recently. It is based on personality types:

While it answers some questions that have been on my mind, the model confuses me quiet a bit. I can't seem to differentiate easily between Sensing and intuition (maybe this, this and this one help). Similarly Sensing, Thinking and Judging seem to overlap.

Some basic definitions:

http://www.socionics.com/rel/rel.htm and http://www.socionics.com/articles/charts.htm (Different types of relationships explained)

The following table shows the mapping of quality of relationships between different personality types is based on the data from here:
