BLIND SPOTS – Ineffective use:

• Moving so quickly that life can spin out of control
• Being compelled to engage in extreme sports or physical activities without assessing the risk

CONTRIBUTION

What’s happening right now?  If possible, let’s go…. My first instinct is to do this…

BECOMING RIGID

The delight in experiencing the world can become an all-consuming need for novel experiences.

COMMUNICATION CLUES

Relevant data, bullet point options, heeding gut-instinct, the impact of risk vs. reward.

LEARNING NEEDS

Real-world challenges, such as tackling crisis situations that require your talents and demand that you grow.

Extraverted Sensing is about experiencing present reality and gathering data about what is from the immediate environment
