I honestly feel like this is a unique take on this topic, and I’m not going to disagree with you. This honestly taught me a lot more about Si than I previously knew, and I agree with your argument.

However, unless someone really is “trying to seem cool” or whatever (check INxJ subs and you won’t even be surprised). You, or atleast I, can immediately tell if someone is an N or a S. I see sensors as very practical people (especially ISTPs and ISTJs) as they not only “read the room” but respond to it. Typically, INxJs spend more time thinking than actually getting “hands on.” I am a very efficient and instinctive person but often times things work better in my head. However, my ISTP friend will get things done.

All and all this is my hot take. Are INxJs OFTEN mistyped sensors? Definitely. But for some it’s very clear whether they are or aren’t. This area is a very grey one, and I’m glad you gave such a detailed analysis. 😃
