Reality (S) / Imagination (N)

Sensing types notice the reality around them and see the present moment clearly, while intuitive types daydream about almost anything except the reality of the moment. “S” types have their feet planted firmly on the ground while “N” types often have their head in the clouds, imagining what might be possible.

Characters in Peanuts

Charles Schulz created the characters in the popular comic strip Peanuts. His art was Sensible: he drew cartoons with animals that acted (mostly) like animals. Unlike the art of Walt Disney, the animals in Peanuts did not talk, wear clothes, or drive.

Situations in Peanuts

Snoopy is a dog and acts like one. He belongs to a boy, eats dog food, and has a dog house. He doesn’t talk, he only thinks words. Woodstock, the little yellow bird, does not even think words, he just makes unintelligible noises. Snoopy had an active imagination, but he always imagined himself in real settings, whether it was playing hockey with the pros or being a flying ace in World War I.
