Thinking vs. Feeling

This is the ‘output’ scale - ie how we make decisions.

Thinking types tend to make their decisions based on data, evidence and rational thought. They tend to be pragmatic and not swayed by antipathies or emotions but prefer empirical data.

Feeling types tend to make their decisions based on values, emotions and impact on people. This is a slightly more irrational way of making decisions (when compared to ‘T’s) however ‘F’s can often ‘feel’ situations and so their decisions often take account of the less obvious issues.
