Information
What kind of information you trust and notice first: concrete facts or patterns and possibilities.
Measured by the Sixteen Types test. Scores run from 0 to 100.
Low scores (under 40): Concrete
You notice specifics, trust experience and like ideas grounded in reality. You are good at the here and now. The cost can be overlooking a bigger pattern or resisting an untested idea.
Balanced scores (40 to 60)
You use both facts and hunches. You can stay grounded in details and also step back to see where things might lead.
High scores (over 60): Intuitive
You notice patterns, meanings and what could be. You enjoy theory and long-range thinking. The cost can be skimming past details or drifting from what is practical.

Sources and method
This is an original, informal quiz inspired by Jung's ideas, not a formal instrument. It measures preferences, meaning what feels natural, not ability or how you must behave. Your scores sit on a spectrum, so a result near the middle is normal. Treat the type as a conversation starter for self-reflection, not a label. The letters follow the popular usage of these terms, not exactly Jung's original meanings. These preferences also overlap with Big Five traits, so the two lenses can echo each other.
Neither end of a dimension is better. Each comes with strengths and costs. For self-reflection and entertainment only.
