For many conceptuals, the intuitive is too unknown and unbelievable. It is too uncertain and unprovable to take seriously or even consider. Start talking about abstract things and they’ll get bored or disengage from the conversation. There isn’t much curiosity to know or seek the unknown. The ambiguity of it not knowing for certain if it’s right or wrong is daunting and wasted energy.
Conceptuals want to have an outlined plan, and know specifically what to do next. They want the process in place before taking next steps. They’re confidence is in what’s been proven, what’s already been done, what can be shown. Conceptual thinking can take on a linear pattern – steps A, B, C, D.
Their effort or energy isn’t put into discovering or seeking new systems, processes or patterns. Their energy and focus might be spent on doing well what’s already been proven, maybe through habits, routines, productivity, perfectionism or ambition. Competition, in a structured environment it’s quite simple, maybe instinctual to now compare individuals performances through the structured process. In an intuitive process, there is no “right” or “wrong” answer, quite ambiguous to make it a competition.
