However.. when there is no clear right or wrong answer... why can't the heart ever overrule the brain with ISTJs? |
Perhaps I can offer what dances around the vacuum between my ears for consideration -
When making a decision regarding "heart vs. brain" the choice (from my personally warped perspective) is not "heart vs. brain", but "brain vs. brain." I think through the act of an emotional response versus a purely cognitive response. I think it comes down to a question of priorities: if the emotional response is the priority, then I employ it. So I guess the heart occasionally wins out, but only if it is associated with what I have defined as what is important.
