  Making sense of understanding
What you've achieved is what we might call "experimental" understanding, which is to say a kind of understanding which results from having an hypothesis which predicts observations yet to be made and then making those observations to see whether your prediction holds or not.
Yeah, well, to explore that one, you'll need to go through the Serendip's third door, where we'll explore the meaning of "rational" understandings, just as we are here that of "experimental" understandings, and did earlier that of "intuitive" understandings.
By making an "intuitive" understanding conscious, one not only makes it explicit and communicable to others, one also achieves the capability to consider it to be "wrong", by virtue of imagining alternative understandings.

 The Intuitive HeartIntuitive-Connections Network
In his new book The Intuitive Heart (ARE Press), Reed combines his research with dreams and with professional psychics to forge a discovery that people have a natural intuition within their moments of compassionate empathy.
Thus, it appeared to Reed that when someone dreams on behalf of a targeted person and strives to intuitively resolve a personal problem, the subjective truths of the dreamer enable the recipient to arrive at his or her own meaningful conclusions.
The Intuitive Heart Discovery Process is both a metaphor for a theory of intuition and an applied methodology for invoking intuition.

An intuitive understanding which is not knowledge is the common and essential experience of insight which is ordinarily and non-technically called "intuition," e.g.
The mystical claim would have to be that an intuitively apprehended abstract object is also intuitively known to apply to existence, in a way, analyzable (as in Anselm's "ontological argument") or unanalyzable, that transcends ordinary perception and experience.

 Geometry Forum: Spring 95 Outposts - II
Instead, Lampert argues, students need to learn both for mathematical development (though, consistent with her theory of building upon intuitive understanding, she does advocate a delay in the introduction of symbolic knowledge).
Lampert's work addresses positively, for a change, the relation between intuitive understanding and knowledge of symbolic procedures, and it provides us with some concrete examples of this integrated understanding in the form of her lessons.
most teachers know that students gain a better understanding of a subject if the student is given the opportunity to verbalize or make sense of the information him or herselfÉ this technique is often neglected in the realm of mathematics.

A phenomenology of tactful action may reveal several styles of intuitive practice: from acting in a largely self-forgetful manner to a kind of self-awareness that the the ego maintains with the self.

Thus the understanding of number itself is inherently dynamic involving this two-way interaction.
The latter intuitive approach facilitates the understanding that all (separate) number qualities (or dimensions) belong to just one number quantity.

In mathematics, the closure of a set S consists of all points which are intuitively close to S. A point which is in the closure of S is a point of closure of S. The notion of closure is in many ways dual to the notion of interior.

For Ockham, the intuitive cognition is that "which a thing is [understood] to exist when it exists and not to exist when it does not exist" [671].
Scotus' definition of it is that "intuitive cognition is [direct knowledge] of what is present and existing as it is present and existing" [672].
Ockham says, "by nature, there cannot be intuitive [understanding] without the existence of a thing which is truly the efficient cause of the intuitive [understanding]." That is, the object of the cognition has to be there, acting as a causal (efficient) agent.

 MBTI Modifiers?
I've seen this pairing a few times; there's often a mutual attraction on an intuitive level (as far as I can see with other examples; certainly with me), though, oddly, the interpersonal dynamic can be nervous.
not much at all, in fact; 6 SJ is in between, and of a slightly different class of intuitive connection, perhaps affording slightly less intuitive understanding.
Also, from Riso's book he seemed to believe that there was some sort of one-to-one correspondence between Jungian typology and the enneagram...yet apparently there is quite a range to the MBTI modifiers that might be useful in clarifying one's enneagrammic type.

Conceptual understanding refers to the way in which concepts are discerned and delimited from, and related to, the relevant domains of knowledge.
