A member of INTP forum once said that INTP only recently had their chance to exit in society because in the past you need to be practical about achieving real life goals and not reading or thinking abstractly all day.
This got me to think about ISTJ and ISFJ - the first is always engaged with building or making or doing practical things, they practice allot. The second is the same but with people (nursing being the common idea).
If you are thinking abstractly all the time as an intuitive you don't do as much daily activities that you learn how to take care of yourself. It becomes your habit not to know how but to do other things.
These types that gain experience by learning by doing are engaging in daily life activities that the other types would rather just think about ideas and not find useful applications for them.
So let's take machine shopping. An ISTJ would learn all the ways to make machine tools. And then find ways to use them. INTP might study this but not knowing all they ways to physically do it with their hands they might use math to find real clever ways of abstracting new formulas but the ISTJ would discover them as a way of putting what they know about machines as a guild.
ISFJ would know the best ways to take care of people and be teachers or something maybe. Knowing everything people need.
This comes down to specialization.
Real life experience is not abstract.
But you need both to some degree.
I don't know anything about chemistry much because I don't clean things as often as I should. I don't fix things in my house. Often I look for the best solution which is effectively me not getting things dirty in the first place or breaking stuff. I have little practice in doing much of anything. But that's what makes me fit into the category I am in. I am organized so I don't have to do much. But that means I don't learn much that I don't experience. I don't get good at one thing that I am not doing much of anything other than thinking about abstract things. Knowledge is not the same as others in that regard.
