1: why are information from the internet often opposite of what i observe?
2: why are information from different sources on the same topic different from each other?

Well, the main priorities of most NTs are socializing, really. Although, of course, they mostly have to work.They may seem more relaxed due to finding that a lot easier & enjoying it a lot more. Most 'information' online is opinions, so obviously, those differ & if it contradicts reality as you know it, I'd just dismiss it. Wiki's pretty good for lots of stuff but I wouldn't rely absolutely on it. As for how most NTs 'think', that's really 'they don't'! Hope that helps?

Let me venture an answer of some sorts:
1. NTs think in many different ways. We are not a homogenous group of people, but billions of individuals from different parts of the world, so obviously we cannot possibly think in one specific way. We adjust the way we think to our surroundings.
2. Also different from individual to individual. Some NTs likes to socialize, others not so much, others not at all. NTs commonly relate to each other, though, and generally has few problems relating to others. If I should hazard a guess and generalize, then the top priority of most NTs is to lead as good a life as possible, find someone to love, maybe start a family. Find something meaningful to do, earn enough money to get by. Find a nice hobby to do on their spare time. Relax and spend time with family and friends. Not so mysterious, is it?
3. I suppose that it generally is easier for an NT to understand the world around them than it is for an aspie. That is because the world around us to a large degree consists of people we have to relate to in one way or the other. If dealing with people is not a riddle to you, and people don't stress you out, then it's not too hard to stay relatively relaxed. This is also a generalization, mind you. Many NTs are stressed out by other people, too.
