Do you think it's better to be a big picture thinker or a more detail oriented thinker?

I've read that you can either be a sensor, meaning you pay attention to detail and remember facts well, or an intuitor, meaning your mind makes connections and see the "bigger picture". I'm in high school and am pretty sure I'm more intuitive, but feel that school is a little more geared toward senors (remembering information, using equations). I've read more people are sensors, so that's probably why schools teach that way, but in the long run, which do you think it's more beneficial to be?
