Conclusions here come without visible working. The person knows the answer and cannot say how, which is disconcerting in a meeting where the reasoning is what is wanted. The impressions are frequently correct; the trouble is that they arrive in the same form whether they are correct or not, and there is no internal test to tell one from the other. Such a mind reads a room, a painting, or a person's real state with great accuracy, and then loses its keys.
Speech runs to metaphor and to the sentence that trails off because the ending was obvious from inside. Facts blur at the edges: names, dates, and figures are held loosely and reported with slight variations each time, without any intent to mislead. In argument this mind does not oppose. It absorbs the other position, finds the truth in it, and often ends up agreeing more than it meant to, then discovers its real objection two days later when the other party is gone.
Learning happens by immersion rather than instruction. Given a language, the accent comes before the grammar; given a craft, the feel comes before the theory, and any attempt to learn it in the prescribed order makes the whole thing harder. This mind needs external structure that it will not build for itself: written lists, other people's deadlines, a colleague who checks the numbers. Its gift is imaginative and considerable, and it works only when someone has fenced the field.
