What Is N (= "iNtuitive" as in MBTI)?
While reading the book "Future Shock" I realized how "N" the author, Alvin Toffler is.
While many of us have gone personally through each of the examples cited in the book, few or none of us would have been able to recognize a pattern behind what is happening in this world. Just like most of us watched an apple fall, only one person found and explained the underlying theory, Toffler is one person who has explained the underlying theory behind what's going on this world. And this is N.
A quote by Toffler from here:
“In education, we need to begin paying attention to matters routinely ignored. We spend long hours trying to teach a variety of courses on, say, the structure of government or the structure of the amoeba. But how much effort goes into studying the structure of everyday life — the way time is allocated, the personal uses of money, the places to go for help in a society exploding with complexity? We take for granted that young people already know their way around our social structure. In fact, most have only the dimmest image of the way the world of work or business is organized. Most students have no conception of the architecture of their own city's economy, or the way the local bureaucracy operates, or the place to go to lodge a complaint against a merchant. Most do not even understand how their own schools — even universities — are structured, let alone how much structures are changing under the impact of the Third Wave.” ― Alvin Toffler, The Third Wave.

I was watching the movie Drishyam. The following is a dialog from that movie. Tabu says about Vijay (Ajay Devgn):
Beautiful induction.
"Vijay teen taareek ko panjim mein tha. Vijay teen tareek ko bhi panjim mein tha." For those who have watched the movie and who remember this scene - this ability to figure out what must have happened which explained all the events (the equivalent of looking at a crime scene and saying "the butler mus have done the crime") is Ne. It is not possible to logical deduction. Only through Induction.
Beautiful induction.
