Yupppp, I figured most of our debaters would be INTP/ENTP types. Whiteflame is an outlier
I'm pretty much an outlier wherever I go. Scientists are almost always hardcore judging types (though IST is very common among that group), so I stand out among them. Debaters certainly tend to be more intuitive. So both groups that I would consider myself to be party to have a very different "normal" in their personalities than I occupy.
I see... Clearly you've done a good job learning how to pick out flaws in arguments. And by focusing on the concrete, you've got an advantage when it comes to policy topics I think. You can more easily see how things may actually play out in the "real world."
Yeah, though that also makes it more difficult to see anything that isn't concrete. Give me a philosophical topic and I'll play around on the shallow end of the pool, trying to link things to greater impacts. I've learned how to pick out flaws, but it's usually about pattern recognition - take me out of that pattern and I start to lose my grip real fast.
