High T and emotions of other people.

[substitute]

Hm well, in light of those definitions, I don't really know what it is I do, but it's neither of them most of the time... I guess it's more like quite simply, understanding. I UNDERSTAND what they're feeling and why, though I don't really sympathize or empathize by those definitions... I wouldn't feel the same in their shoes and I don't feel their emotions with them in real time, vicariously, either.

However, this doesn't seem to have encumbered me at all when it comes to my line of work... and has in fact often been mentioned by others as my main strength...

That's empathy.

Anyway, I'm pissed (Brit Talk = drunk), so I'm off to bed. Might continue this in the morning

I know some "T"s (a vague way of putting it) that are better with empathy (my best friend who is an ENTP (Fe maybe)) then some people who are "F"s (an ENFP that I know with an underdeveloped Te causing a split between Ne and Fi). T and F dont necessarily affect how empathetic one might be. some tend to be more empathetic (my ENFJ friend (Fe dominant)) than others (my ISTJ friend (Fi is his last function)).
