The first category describes how aperson interacts with his or her environment. People who take initiative and gain energyfrom interactions are known as Extroverts (E). Introverts (I), on the other hand prefer arelatively passive role and gain energy internally. The second category describes how aperson gathers information. People who process tangible data with their senses arereferred to as Sensors (S), and persons who prefer theoretical sources of data are calledIntuitors (N). The Sensor versus Intuitor category is an interesting area of study when itcomes to engineering education
