Ärende: What's in...  4A.
=========================
Hi, James!  Recently you wrote in a message to Ardith Hinton:

AH>  No apology necessary, but thanks for the heads
AH>  up....  :-)

JB>  I was apologizing in case the message went to an
JB>  errant message base, and to the moderator that
JB>  would scratch his or her head with what in the
JB>  hills I was going on about.


          Okay.  It didn't, anyway... or at least it got *here*, which is what
matters to me!  If it appeared in some other echo as well I'd know that wasn't
from carelessness on your part, and we'd have a bit of free publicity....  ;-)



JB>  I saw a spot on TV, where a pediatrician (That's
JB>  the baby doctor, right?)


          Close enough for jazz.  More exactly, a pediatrician works with kids
up to 16 (including babies) & a neonatologist specializes in newborns....  :-)



JB>  had a handful of techniques, that would quiet any baby
JB>  that didn't have a health issue. Swaddling was big,


          Yup.  We did that with Nora too....  :-)



JB>  it was quite predictable, in which kid reacted to
JB>  which technique.


          Uh-huh.  A lot of grownups tried to calm Nora by holding her up to a
mirror... but she'd be even more distressed when she saw or heard another baby
in distress.  She reacted the same way in the newborn nursery as well....  :-)



JB>  The last was a tough customer, and the doc knew only
JB>  the "Shhh" in the ear was the only thing that would
JB>  calm him. He gave it a quiet go, a short go, and then
JB>  he put some db's behind it, and sure enough, as if the
JB>  kid was on cue...


          Now, let me guess... when he was in junior high school Mrs. H. would
have to act as if she was throwing a tantrum before he'd pay attention.  :-)))



AH>  I also survived to tell the tale... [wry grin].

JB>  That's the preferred outcome! <VVBWG>


          Yes.  When Nora was in hospital I saw how some of those nice, docile
people-pleasers made out.  One died.  One relapsed & had to have a bone marrow
transplant.  We weren't so nice, but we were back home in record time....  :-)



AH>  Not all "J's" are like that.  Most are probably
AH>  more intuitive and/or closer to the middle of
AH>  the continuum.  But those who aren't take up a
AH>  lot of bandwidth sometimes.  :-)

JB>  This is starting to explain some behaviors that
JB>  have bothered me for a long time.


          As it did for me....  :-)



JB>  I think the other extreme (Perceptive?) could be
JB>  equally frustrating. If someone wants to delay
JB>  decisions indefinitely, reserving "judgment" and
JB>  perpetually on a fact finding mission. <?>


          Agreed.  If an SP can't resist snowboarding in "out-of-bounds" areas
because they don't like rules & feel they are invincible... or if an intuitive
person takes a lot longer to process all of the available data than others do,
because they perceive so much more... that can be a problem.   Sooner or later
it will be necessary for them to arrive at a conclusion, ready or not....  :-)
