Well, the post mentions a post that mentions a post, that mentions that Es "triangulate" views. That is P, not E. Ps try to see the many sides of things, because they don't want to make a judgement if they don't have to. As such, they try to see it from all the angles and have it's "judgement" become self-evident. I've watch many IPs do that.
However, extraverts don't care as much for the reasons behind things, as Is do. This is based on the a
