Possibilities Intuition
Essence: spontaneous generation of latent possibilities and remote connections, serving exploration of what is not yet known and trial of the untried.
Attention is persistently drawn toward the unknown, treating reality as an open field of possibilities not yet realized. Novel combinations and rival explanations arise unbidden, while physical constraints and immediate practical concerns recede behind curiosity. Whatever has not been done before invites a first attempt, approached by improvisation rather than long preparation. Discovery outranks reward, the familiar keeps revealing unexpected sides, and concern reaches far beyond one's own circle.
Manifests as exploratory, ideational, and unconventional behavior.
Intuiting a mind freed from the concrete and the material, turned toward meaning at large
Benevolism open, trusting, generous warmth toward others
Perceiving openness to whatever comes, with little need for completion or fixed plans
Extraversion an outgoing drive toward the new and unfamiliar
Cognitive Level: remote association generation, hypothesis and alternative-framing generation, breadth-over-specificity preference, tolerance of ambiguity
Social Level: conceptual pioneer and experimenter, universal idealist, status- and material-indifferent
Psychological Level: wandering attention, delight in discovery, re-enchantment of the ordinary, forgiveness, playful imagination
Biological Level: neuromotor clumsiness (loose gait, fidgeting), phonological slips, prospective memory failures
Suppressed: rigid literalism, premature closure.
Healthy: playful exploration, comfort with open questions.
Strained: scattered follow-through, idea-hopping without grounding.
Extreme manifestations: distractibility, disorganization, impracticality, physical neglect, naivety, childlike unworldliness.

Opens to every new possibility.
Novelty and change are welcomed with enthusiasm, new ventures begin on impulse, and each is released as readily as it was taken up.
EII: sees what a person could become and encourages it.
Finds the alternative to what is assumed.
Accepted accounts are questioned and replaced with fresh hypotheses, and people and ideas are seen from unexpected angles, often with irony.
LII: finds where an accepted account fails and proposes a better-fitting model.
Branches from one idea into many.
Associations fan out from any starting point, no explanation is treated as the only one, and a line of thought is resumed whenever something new connects to it.
EII: imagines how people and relationships might develop, one possibility leading to another.
