When viewing the totality of my life, it is clear to me that my thinking is stronger than feeling. There is simply no way I could have survived the choices and obstacles I've faced without the ability to maintain distance from my feelings and perspective. This is apparent from childhood, through adolescence, and into adulthood. It's a funny question, but is it possible to be an F who actually has a stronger T?

Any thoughts?
I don't know enough about MBTI to have any answers, but it's pretty much the same for me. I have to 'think' things through rationally, with little or no feeling, to see things the way they really are, then decide how I 'feel' about them. Not necessarilly emotionally, of course, it's not that kind of feeling. Moral judgements, I suppose. The right and wrong of things. I've had the very same questions as these. I can be a very strong T. Growing up, I had to be, always having to 'think' things through, distancing myself from my emotions. Survival was everything. As I grew, I knew being the hardass just wasn't me. I 'felt' more than I ever knew. It's about a preference, not an absolute.

Edit: "?" makes a lot of sense to me. I shoulda read him/her first.
