Thats the difference between thinking and feeling.

You process things with your brain, you are a thinker.
Your process things with your heart, you are a feeler.

I remember at a type workshop, we got into type-alike groups. We were asked to come up with a picture that best represented our type. Our INTP group put a big brain at the top (dominant Ti). Below that was a light bulb (auxilary Fe). Below that was some symbol for tertiary Si. At the very bottom was a tiny heart (inferior Fe). One of the members of the group scored in the extreme range for T, having no points for F at all. He pointed to the heart and said "Who cares about that!"

I think this has more to do with enneagram actually but the MBTI functions might be correlated like
Head: Ti, Ni, Ne
Gut: Se, Te, Fi
Heart: Fe, Si
Ne could be gut, but I see it as more cerebral.
likewise, Te would make sense as a head function, but the energy is much more directive and visceral
Si seems like it would be a gut function, but it is a very temperamental function
Fi can look more heart-esque, but it's seldom actually very emotional and it doesn't have a reactive, impulsive nature to it like Fe does

My blood collects oxygen from my lungs, goes to my heart, which pumps blood to my brain, which in turn processes things. What does that make me?

I was under the impression that emotions were processed in the brain.

Silly me.

The human brain and gut share about the same number of neurons, so maybe it should be brain/gut, rather than heart.
