Thinking:
Thinking and feeling use very different evaluative mechanisms and criteria, which makes it difficult for them to operate simultaneously, or co-operate, if you will. L609 "IFJs are apt to mistype as thinkers and ETPs as feelers. This is because the I, T, and J preferences are all roughly associated with the left side of the brain, so if exhibiting a more left-brained style, IFJs (especially ISFJs) may mistype as thinkers. Similarly, the E, F, and P preferences have often been associated with the right hemisphere, so in displaying a more right-brained style, ETPs may misidentify as feelers. (ME AND MIKEY - MIKEY SOMETIMES SEEMS LIKE A FEELER AND I OFTEN FEEL LIKE A THINKER.)REASONS I'M NOT A T:
"Thinkers also tend to experience diminished emotional responses, at least compared to those of their feeling counterparts. They generally show less interest in and concern for their own feelings, as well as those of others. After all, the reason thinking and feeling have long been conceived of as opposites is because logic-based processing and emotion-based processing cannot occur simultaneously." Location 600.
"Thinkers are sometimes conceived as emotionally distant or detached." L609 "Spend less time attuning to and meeting needs of others" "Thinkers strive to advance in their work - in many cases Feelers' attention and energies are divided among work, relationships, and caregiving. Thinkers, especially dominant T males (ITPs and ETJs) tend to be more one-track minded, granting their work the lion's share of their attention and devotion." JOSHUA BYERS
REASONS I COULD BE A T:
"Thinking has a quantitative bent to it; it is a 'calculating' function. Even if subconsciously, it is constantly weighing odds and scheming ways of moving things in a better direction... Systemizing and classifying also factor into the thinker's arsenal..." Location 600 "Thinkers value improving the functionality of things. They value efficiency, utility, and good strategy." L649
Feeling:
REASONS I'M AN F:
"Not only are feelers aware of their emotions, but they are also attuned to emotional nuances and subtleties. For every emotion in a thinker's arsenal, a feeler may distinguish a multitude of feelings or feeling tones...... L619 Feeling also pertains to the development and refinement of tastes, which is another reason feelers are drawn to the arts..... Feelers also have a propensity to function as nurturers and caregivers...Jung took care to distinguish the feeling function from emotions, essentially saying that the feeling function is charged with evaluating emotions.... feelings and emotions are entirely reasonable and useful tools for navigating human affairs. ...The very notion of emotional intelligence speaks to the value of experiencing, understanding, and communicating the important truths and qualities conveyed through feelings." L629 "Thinkers don't invest a lot of time judging fashions and styles because these things fall outside the purview of logic. Likewise, Feelers tend not to obsess over solving logical problems that fall beyond the evaluative scope of feeling." L649 "Feelers value the way things look, smell, taste, and sound, all of which impact their feelings. Feelers also place higher value on people and relationships, while being more sensitive to perceived instances of injustice, inequality, and other moral issues. L658
