this. I'm an ENFP, but I don't care for 95% of people and tend to be rational, level headed and not very emotional. descriptions make Feelers all sound like EFJ 2s and 4s (yuck!)
But what it boils down to is this: if I met you IRL, I would see you as a Thinking type.
Also, I'm not a big Te user but I identify with most of the Thinking traits listed. What you don't get is that it is possible to describe T and F without reference to the two attitudinal relationships, that is, just Thinking and Feeling. But if you're used to seeing this only in Jungian terms, it becomes difficult to separate from that. I've seen a lot of that around here. It is nothing more than reductionistic.
I will agree that the statements in my own list, such as "You're hardhearted!", seem like they describe a Te, such as my ESTJ boss. But I've been described as unemotional and even criticized for it.
