.Sensors
{Sensors deal best in problem solving by trusting the facts and evidence.  They are most adept at solving problems that they can get their hands on, literally, and move toward some practical and tangible results.  To spend too much time designing a solution or theorizing about alternatives seems a waste of time and will lead to little that's productive.  If the problem is in front of you, solve it and move on, even if it's just to another problem.}

{Being descriptive of the problem}
.intuitives
{The iNtuitive won't touch a problem until all of the alternatives have been considered and various schemes have been drawn to cover every aspect of the situation.  Problems are best solved when they are set in a context that gives perspective to a bigger picture.  A dripping faucet, the iNtuitive may perceive, is part of a larger problem-water pressure, perhaps or even the design of the kitchen or bathroom.  Thus a proper solution involves acquiring books on home repair, perusing catalogs of new fixtures, perhaps drawing a schema of the entire system.}

.Thinkers
{In problem solving, the Thinker's contribution is to keep everyone aware of the potential consequences of any given action.  They tend to problem solve by weighing carefully the cause and effect of each action.  This allows them to stay removed from the problem-solving process so as not to become overly involved with the personal aspects of the issues.  Because they're human, when confronted with the same problem themselves, Thinkers have a more difficult time staying objective.}

.Thinkers3
{Considering the legitimacy of the problem}
.Thinkers4
{Looking at cause and effect and outcomes}
.Feelers
{Feelers bring to problem solving the reality of how the process affects people.  So even if it isn't a Feeler's own problem, he or she can still give pretty accurate readings of how those involved will react.  In problem solving, the Feeler is the barometer of what the interpersonal reaction to the solution will look like.  While we must emphasize again that both the Thinking and Feeling dimensions are essential ingredients for effective problem solving, it is important to underline that if the best solution in the world does not take into account how it will be received by the parties involved, it works only on paper and is doomed to fail.}
