There are four main ways that you can use sensory systems:

• The lead system (how you gather data)
• The representational system (how you process data)
• Sensory predicates
• Eye accessing cues

A few notes:

• Your lead and representational systems are usually the same, although there are exceptions.
• The system used will depend on the context of the situation and your personal preferences.
• Understanding what system you are using and what system others are using will help you adapt your behavior and speak the same language.
