As long as thinking follows feeling, and not allowed its own way without supervision by feeling, I do much better and make far better decisions. Thinking is the support for feeling.

This is fascinating to me! For me, it's the exact opposite. For a thinker, the feeling is what leads us astray, like if something happens that shakes us to the core where we're forced to deal with our emotions and can't think straight. But I can see how if you're listening to your feelings and you have learned that they'll always steer you in the right direction, that if you tried to turn that off and used pure thinking without being guided by feeling, it would feel false or cold. Is that right?
CaptainChick, that is very interesting! I find that, even though I'm a T, I have some of the same experience you described, due to a strong sense of intuition. BUT, and perhaps it's b/c my feeling isn't as developed, sometimes my intuition can be led astray because of some personal fear or insecurity I have.
I wonder if the SF people are more apt to emote as the emotion is felt? Like sad=immediate crying, rather than feeling, but still maybe not showing it, as some of you have mentioned. It sounds like NFs might tend to feel things strongly but might not show it to just anyone? Is that true, S people?
Also, y'all, please know that all this is meant entirely respectfully. I have no intention of picking you apart or using the information for evil.
