A personalty question (self.asklemmy)

Of the following, which of the two personality types do you generally align with?

When approaching a given situation or idea, do you typically focus on details first, or start with the bigger picture, filling in details second?

Edit for clarity: I'm not asking anyone to strictly identify with one or the other. It's a question of where on the spectrum between them you fall.

I am more of a big picture person and my partner is more of a details first person.

I think you hit the nail on the head. It's being made about hypothetical implications, instead of being taken at face value....

Here's another one: Are you more of a silly person or a serious person?

There are implications to both, and few would self identify as strictly one or the other, but I can easily see which side I tend to align with without labeling myself a "Serious/Silly Person"

It's really blowing my mind that this concept isn't more intuitive. (I've had this conversation with a family member who has a view very similar to yours)
