I just came up with the idea that functional thinking correlates with intuition
and predicate thinking correlates with sensing. Any thoughts about that?

I just Googled

	"functional thinking" "predicate thinking"

and got one hit: your post.

I suspect it would make sense to expand your OP so more of us will have some idea what you're talking about.

'Intuition' and 'sensing' seem to be regarded as 'non-thinking', as opposed to 'thinking' and 'feeling' within a jungian context. Although the better term may be 'rational' and 'irational', although the second of those terms may be misleading. 'Beyond rational' may be more accurate - read up on Jung and see how it reasons it out and come to your own understanding.

maybe I'm on the wrong trace. But those that are interested should read this

^ I did a quick search, and it looks like there isn't a single reference to "predicate thinking" in that article.

To (mostly) repeat what I said in my first post, if you want to start a forum thread and have people take the time to think about your OP and participate, you ought to be willing to put at least a little time into setting up the discussion.

Thinking otherwise doesn't seem like functional thinking to me, so, assuming you're an N, that would be one piece of evidence against your proposed correlation.

Praise you sir. Praise you! (I seriously was like...what is OP talking about? One day, simple words (even if it makes a run-on sentence) will be the desired form of communication. Advanced/Fancy/Complex words are so unnecessary and lose meaning quite rapidly.

Predicate thinking, isn't it Freudian?

Predicate Thinking: the id's tendency to treat dissimilar objects as identical.

I've been treating Ni as "functional" for a while now, and Si as "object-oriented", in terms of software programming methodologies. It isn't N vs. S, though, because Se works with Ni and Ne works with Si.

Note that "functional thinking" brings up mostly functional programming articles. I'm not sure how "predicate thinking" maps to anything other than the Freudian definition.

Yes. Sensors see things as they are in physical form. If they are physically dissimilar, they are physically dissimilar. To a Sensor, even identical twins are dissimilar, because physically they are not the same human.

However, Intuitives make relationships between things, that are not obvious. An intuitive will often assume that the properties of identical twins are identical, because their genetics are identical. So an Intuitive is likely to assume that identical twins MUST have the exact same preferences, and the exact same abilities, even to the same level, such as that of assuming that identical twins have identical IQs, and any difference in IQ is just a mistake that is to be ignored.

Sensors would just see that they are 2 different people, and see that if 2 identical twins have close IQs, but not identical, then that shows that they are similar, but not identical, exactly what the data suggests.

So if anyone is going to make the mistake of predicate thinking, it would be the Intuitives.

Fancy way to say concrete vs. abstract thinking? Then yeah.
