Could someone help me understand the "F" in practical terms.. how it works? My girlfriend I mentioned above is an ESFJ and we've gone round and round on this. So far I don't understand. She says that she first feels something and then the thoughts come as a result. I, on the other hand, think something and then the feelings come if they're going to at all. I'm quite cerebral and any kind of emotion, even positive ones, are kind of difficult for me but that's an INTP thing. But, anyway, I just cannot, especially as an alcholic recognizing what the "wrong" thinking does to me, understand how feelings could come before thoughts. Anyone want to take a stab at helping me understand?

Edit: I don't mean to come across wrong, after thinking about this. My girlfriend, I've thought based on her MB type seems very emotional to me whereas, until she got to know me, she thought I was very cold. I guess its subjective vs objective? Where, if a preteen girl was crying about kids at school, she would give them a big hug. I, on the other hand, would talk to them trying to get to the bottom of their thinking. My preteens criticized me for that saying all they wanted was a hug. So, saying emotions often escape my awareness seeing them coming from thoughts. Find out what the thoughts are, change them and the tears stop.

Ok this is it! Calling on my fellow extroverts to invite all our friends to this page and have a nice little social get together. I have at least a dozen people I want to introduce you to Courage2
Oh and you cannot opt out because Ardy, Becoming and I are making it a winter coat drive: it is for a good cause!

Turtle82, Note that you and your friend are mirror opposites on each scale. This will present as many challenges as learning opportunities. As a team, you've got everything going for you.

When I first took the test I was a "T". Time in my occupation changed that to a slight preference on the "F" side. I believe I can jump back and forth between the two as needed, and that this is a valuable skill (mostly in regard to helping others). Sometimes people just need a hug or someone to understand what they are saying. In those instances support is most valuable. Other times what helps them most is a change in their thinking. This can come about by changing their perspective or how they process information, and this is best accomplished through discussion . At those times a "T" response is most valuable to them. Most often, some combination of both is best.

The "T" response is your preference, but it's not always the most helpful. It can sometimes even get in the way. There are times when the most elegant response to someone is to simply to give them a hug. Words only serve detract from that. As a "T", I would be on the lookout for that.

Turtle82

Thanks Awuh1. Yeh, I know about watching it. I'm a very high percentage T. In my 60s I just naturally started operating more from my shadow F. So I've gotten better both experience and expressing feelings more but it just seems to happen and isn't always comfortable. In fact, its so uncomfortable at times that I actually apologize for it and my head gets all discombobbled and usually say the "wrong" thing. I guess that might be called "socially awkward?" I wonder how many other INTPs in particular experience that.

courage2

Yeah I can't figure out why an extrovert would be here at all unless they're bedbound but that falls firmly in the realm of not-my-problem and I'm really good at putting things in boxes.

Good luck with that!

By the way, since we're (I'm) getting competitive, I'm in the 80th percentile or higher on introversion and about the same on thinking. I like the Big 5 Personality traits better: I'm a very conscientious, very disagreeable neurotic introvert, but not particularly close-minded.

I got a 1% in feeling .........what's that mean:""(?????........introvert was no big surprise

I've taken the test on different websites. I'm either INFJ or INTJ.

This means you are about evenly split between the two decision making preferences. You consider both about equally. This is from Wikipedia on the T-F dimension.


"The third continuum reflects the person’s decision preferences. Thinking types desire objective truth and logical principles and are natural at deductive reasoning. Feeling types place an emphasis on issues and causes that can be personalized while they consider other people's motives."

Another INTJ here.

Someone did a similar study in the literature: UNDERLYING PERSONALITY DIFFERENCES BETWEEN ALCOHOL/SUBSTANCE-USE DISORDER PATIENTS WITH AND WITHOUT AN AFFECTIVE DISORDER | Alcohol and Alcoholism

What I'd like to know is whether there is a correlation between personality type and use/non-use of AA for recovery. Anyone have any info on that?

Cascabel

I'm an INTJ: I=62%, N=15%, T=75% and J=25%. This pattern has held more-or-less constant over the years with the N increasing slightly and the J decreasing a little with time.

I had two careers over my working life: mechanic and scientist. According to the literature I was well suited to both with this type. I like being by myself or with just my wife, I like to figure out how things work, I do not handle emotional issues at all well and I like to have things settled.

Hi everyone, it seems like all this personality testing is quite popular here, so I will recommend something for those that are willing to invest a little. In my research work, we use something called Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI) to assess traits that we then correlate with vulnerability to addiction. Unfortunately it's not free online as far as I know.

Interesting, I got ENTJ

Aellyce

ENTJ is what I would like to become, if there were such a switch I discussed this a few years ago with a psychologist friend who uses the MBTI in his practice, and we arrived at some pretty interesting insights about me regarding this "wish". For example, I am more than certain that my father would test ENTJ had he been given the assessment (may or may not be mental projection). Also, I am a definitive "I", but not far from the mid-line, and sobriety has brought out a lot of yet unknown extraversion from me. And my last dimension has been quite visibly progressing from P>J over the course of my life. So maybe I'm getting closer to my "ideal" after all
