As it relates to MBTI theory, would you call this a "thinker's" process or cognition itself? Because if this is only specific to the thinking process (Ti/Te) then all feelers must also be thinkers. However, in no definition of thinking do I see any indication that a thinker must also be a feeler to some degree. Jung's definition of thinking explicitly precludes this.
Or am I misunderstanding what feeling (Fi/Fe) is (because that is highly possible)?
I think that, insofar as he divorced feeling from thinking, Jung was wrong. I don't think you can separate feeling from thinking. What you feel primarily depends on what you think. (Physiology has some influence, but even poor dopamine production and re-uptake can be overcome by thoughtful conviction.)
I would call it cognition itself.
