The sensation is a function of a precise perception of the world through the organs of senses. Socionics identifies two types of sensation: force sensing (F), meaning power pressure, the ability to subordinate others to your will, to make others do something, and comfort sensing (S), catching comfort, taste and body sensations, health.

Cognitively, state F means perception of strength-weakness. Thinking in this state is extremely concrete, grounded, objectified. It is necessarily accompanied by muscular sensations. Thinking technology F is most conveniently compared to probing or weighing an object.

In society, a person with a persistent state of F pretends to be the force center of the group. He intervenes in the course of the group’s activities〔中略〕F-type as a conductor controls the group in one movement of the hand, turning the head or changing the position of the body, but he usually does not want to be in front of the group, to formally lead it. Therefore, another name for the F-role in society is an informal or shadow leader.〔中略〕Psychologically, the state of F is felt as complete self-confidence. Any doubts, worries, or reflections are incompatible with this state. There is a sense of mastery, wherever this person is. He has an attitude to win at any cost and has a strong nervous system and self control. The state of F rapidly mobilizes forces, preparing at any second to strike or repel a blow.

F — sensing of resistance: to resist, to not obey, to join the coalition+ to withstand the force; to be friends and enjoy the protection of the strong, to demand and be indignant at attempts to infringe upon their interests.

His own power sharply increases in extreme situations of panic or confusion. In these cases, he behaves confidently and decisively. At the same time, he is defenseless against force if emotionally and mentally broken. In such a situation, he perceives submission to fate as inevitability. Only a sudden force can bring him out of a hysterical state. When unexpectedly dealt a forceful blow from someone else, he becomes sober.

The type of people with pronounced force sensation (function F) are characterized by periodically discharging irritation with aggressive reactions. At such moments, it’s best not to interfere. Therefore, we call this type enforcers or assertors.
