perceivers
People who sense
Perceivers are people who perceive—those who notice, observe, or become aware of something through the senses or mind.
The term often appears in psychology and philosophy when discussing how different people interpret the same stimulus: Some perceivers noticed the change immediately while others missed it entirely.
In personality typing systems like Myers-Briggs, perceivers prefer flexibility and spontaneity over rigid planning.
